History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
In many breakfast stalls, there is such a food, that is, fried fritters, and what everyone does not know is that fried fritters have another name, called fried Qin juniper. Yes, this Qin Juniper is the famous murderer who framed Yue Fei in history, the Great Traitor of the Song Dynasty.
Ordinary people can call what they eat as fried Qin Juniper, which is enough to show people's hatred for Qin Juniper. Moreover, this hostility was not only directed at Qin Juniper himself, but also against his descendants. During the Qianlong period, a man named Qin Dashi received questions from Qianlong, who asked him if he was really a descendant of Qin Juniper. His witty answer can be said to be impressive.
Qin Dashi was born in 1715, his hometown is in Anhui Province. What is very rare is that Qin Dashi has been clever and clever since he was a child, and he has studied very hard. When he was 10 years old, because he wrote beautiful and good words, and his articles were also very brilliant, his reputation as a prodigy gradually spread.
When he was a teenager, with his own knowledge and calligraphy, he was able to support his family by helping others write letters and copy things. Such a teenager is destined to make a difference.
So when he was 23 years old, he took the imperial examination, and he did not expect to pass the examination. Remember "Fan Jin Zhongju", Fan Jin struggled all his life to pass the examination. He was easily admitted. Not only that, his life is like opening a hanging, when he was 38 years old, he entered the Beijing exam and won the title. According to the historical records, Qin Dashi was the 43rd emperor of the Qing Dynasty. According to the custom, Zhuangyuanlang can directly enter the work of the Hanlin Academy, and the main content of the work is to revise documents and write the history of the country.
Looking at these works, we all know that the Hanlin Academy has no real power. But if you want to get ahead in the official arena, you must go through the test of the Hanlin Academy. For example, famous late Qing courtiers, such as Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others, all studied in the Hanlin Academy first, and then rode across the official field.
Therefore, the promotion path of Qin Dashi was the same, and he could soon report to Qianlong's side. And Qianlong Ye happened to be an emperor who liked to give small problems to his courtiers, and he wanted to take the opportunity to see the reactions of the ministers, whether they could really be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and whether they were really talented.
So once, after Qianlong and Qin Dashi finished their official duties, Qianlong suddenly asked another question, and he said, "What about the descendants of The Ru family fruit Qin Juniper?" ”
One of the meanings of this sentence is, are you really a descendant of Qin Juniper?
Of course, Qin Dashi knew that Qianlong was asking this knowingly, and the purpose was to test his ability to respond on the spot, so Qin Dashi replied without panic: "One heavenly son and one courtier."
Qianlong Ye was also very surprised to hear this answer, such an answer can be said to be both a side affirmation of his own lineage, not sorry for the ancestors, but also shows that he and the ancestors are not a kind of person. He could do things for the imperial court, but he would not do things like Qin Juniper. I have to say that such an agile thinking should also applaud him now.
However, it is a pity that Qin Dashi did not stay in the official arena for long, probably because he was too upright, and he retired home after only ten years of kung fu. In the garden where Qin Dashi Wannan lived, he planted a magnolia tree by his own hands and died in 777.
