In the three years of Daming Hongwu, in the history museum of the capital city of Nanjing, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, which lasted more than two years, and the "History of yuan" was finally completed, and the scholars were also relieved, just in the Qingming Dynasty, everyone gathered together, chanting poems and lyrics.
Gao Qi is one of them, he was born into a rich family, but he was widowed at a young age, since he was a child, hard reading and the ability to never forget, making him talented, good at history, fond of poetry, and Zhang Yu, Xu Ben, Song Ke and other people often together to discuss poetry, known as "Beiguo Ten Friends".
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Zhang Shicheng's governor rao jie, the governor of Huainan Province, heard of Gao Qi's name for a long time, repeatedly extended his invitation, and honored him as a guest. However, Gao Qi did not like the officialdom, and lived with his family in Qingqiu on the bank of the Wusong River, calling himself Qingqiuzi.
In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Gao Qi into the dynasty, appointed the official Hanlin to edit, participated in the compilation of the "History of Yuan", and taught the princes the knowledge, which was quite important to him.
At this time, the "History of Yuan" was completed, and Gao Qi was also happy in his heart, laughing and giving a poem "The Princes in the Qingming Chengguan", poem Yun:
New smoke with willow forbidden wall oblique, apricot cheese fragrant and common praise.
There are mountains around Guo under the white, and there are no guests in Qingming who do not miss home.
Under the tomb of Marquis Bian, there are flowers falling in front of Lu Nu's door.
Happy to have the deceased treat the edict together, intend to sell spring wine drunk In Beijing.
Although Nanjing is good, but it is not hometown, Qingming has no guests and does not miss home, it is obvious that Gao Qi, who has never loved fame and fortune, after cultivating the "History of yuan", has the intention of resigning from the government again and returning. But at this time, Gao Qi did not know that his resignation would bring disaster.
Four months later, Zhu Yuanzhang promoted Qi to the position of Right Attendant of the Household Department, and Gao Qijian resigned, repeatedly indicating that he wanted to go home, zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to give gold and return it.
Gao Qi left, but Zhu Yuanzhang's heart buried a thorn, he suspected that Gao Qi wrote a poem to satirize himself, so he had a hatred for Gao Qi. Gao Qi did not know anything about this, and after returning to Qingqiu, he taught and ruled the fields and enjoyed himself.
In the sixth year of Hongwu, Wei Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, restored the old foundation of Suzhou Fuya, and when it was built, gao Qi was asked to write the Shangliang Wen. I didn't think that this old base was also the old site of Zhang Shicheng's palace, so someone falsely accused Wei Guan of plotting rebellion.
As a result, Wei Guan was killed, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Gao Qi's "Shangliang Wen" had the words "Tiger Standing on the Dragon Disk", suspected that he was singing zhang Shicheng's praises, and was greatly annoyed, and ordered him to die at the age of 37.
