#Witness of the Times #Qin Juniper's descendants were admitted to the Yuanyuan, and when they passed Yue Fei's grave, they composed two poems, which were praised by posterity
The Qianlong Emperor's sending proposition
It's just that although Qin Juniper's name stinks, he is also from a large family after all, and it is unlikely that he will be an heir. But there is no doubt that if anyone is his descendant, it must have a great psychological shadow, and it is possible to feel that he will not be able to lift his head for a lifetime.
Qin Jun's family was passed down to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In the seventeenth year of Qianlong, a descendant of Qin Jushi, Qin Dashi, was very contentious, and in this year, the empress dowager's sixtieth birthday was passed in the Enke Examination.
In the "Great View of the Wild History of the Qing Dynasty", a small story of a Qin master who met the Qianlong Emperor after becoming an official is recorded.
As we all know, the Qianlong Emperor was an emperor who attached great importance to the "distinction between loyalty and treachery" of his courtiers, and was also a very mean and ruthless emperor.
Under the auspices of the Qianlong Emperor, Qing dynasty historians compiled a "Biography of the Second Minister", in which Hong Chengzu, a former Ming Dynasty feudal official and a famous traitor who later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was among the best.
It should be known that Hong Chengzu not only advised the Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains, but also the pawn of the Qing Dynasty when it entered the Central Plains to fight the world, and countless Han people died at his hands.
To put it bluntly, ordinary traitors could not do this to his extent, and treated such people with great achievements in this way, which shows the Qianlong Emperor's dislike for capricious people.
The Qianlong Emperor's favorite historical figure was Yue Fei. The Qianlong Emperor wrote poems many times praising Yue Wumu's wisdom and bravery, loyalty and patriotism, and encouraged everyone to learn from him.
Therefore, it is not difficult for everyone to imagine what kind of attitude such an emperor would have towards Qin Juniper's descendants.
After Qin Dashi became a high school official, he was naturally assigned to be an official, and enjoyed the right to discuss matters with the Qianlong Emperor and participate in state affairs.
And one day, the Qianlong Emperor looked at Qin Dashi in front of him and suddenly thought that the minister's hometown was in the Qinhuai area, just like Qin Juniper's hometown. After some thought, the Qianlong Emperor asked a question: Master Qin, are you really a descendant of Qin Juniper?
Strictly speaking, Qin Dashi was indeed not a direct descendant of Qin Juniper, he was from the lineage of Qin Juniper's brother. But to tell the truth, since the family was already stained with Qin Juniper, the horizontal vertical was also impossible to avoid. Therefore, how Qin Dashi should answer was extremely embarrassing.
After all, if you admit that you are a descendant of Qin Juniper, it will naturally make the emperor look bad, and who in the whole world does not know that Qianlong Ye is a fan of Yue Fei and hates Qin Juniper the most.
However, not admitting it is a major crime of deceiving the king, and the so-called advance cannot be achieved or retreated, which is really maddening.
But to say that Qin Dashi is also worthy of being born, his brain turns very fast. He did not answer the Qianlong Emperor's question head-on, but replied: "One heavenly son and one courtier." ”
This answer is very flattering, it basically tacitly acknowledges that it is indeed a descendant of Qin Juniper, but it is also patched: killing Yue Fei was committed by my ancestors five hundred years ago, and it has nothing to do with me. Besides, Emperor Gaozong of Song himself fainted and did nothing, and only then would he sit back and watch Qin Ju frame Zhongliang.
Now that you are the Son of Saint Tomorrow, I believe that you will be able to make good use of me, the descendant of Qin Juniper.
For this answer, the Qianlong Emperor was very satisfied. He laughed and waved his hand to let Qin Dashi go, and he never had any more difficulties for him.
Not only that, the Qianlong Emperor also appointed Qin Dashi to serve as the chief examiner of several subsequent scientific expeditions. Letting this descendant of Qin Juniper lead the new force of civil officials shows how much the Qianlong Emperor was assured of Qin Dashi. It can be said that Qin Dashi successfully waded through the danger.
It's just that the emperor no longer talks about his origin, and he can't stand the world's big, leisurely mouth, one person spits, and it can drown people.
In this regard, Qin Dashi's state of mind cannot be said to be indifferent, and it can also be said that he accepted it calmly. Although he told the Qianlong Emperor that the affairs of his predecessors could not be counted on the descendants, Qin Dashi also recognized the deeds of his old ancestor who "fought for qi".
The ancient sentence in front of the YueWang Temple
After Becoming an official, Qin Dashi had remarkable ability, integrity and integrity, and soon became acquainted with many academic celebrities, including Yuan Ming, a famous writer and poet of the Qing Dynasty.
One day, Yuan Ming invited Qin Dashi to visit the West Lake, a famous tourist attraction in Hangzhou. The two enjoyed the scenery and the poem, and they were very happy.
However, as they strolled around, the two men wandered to the Yue Wang Temple by the West Lake.
The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows for a long time. Although Yue Fei's great feelings of patriotism and loyalty to the king were betrayed by the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty, they still inspired countless ordinary working people for thousands of years.
They came to worship Yue Fei with a passion for blood, and at the same time spit on the four kneeling statues in front of Yue Fei's tomb, which had been the case for hundreds of years.
Yuan Ming himself was negligent for a moment, forgetting the identity of the friend next to him, and seeing that Qin Dashi, as a descendant of Qin Juniper, not only came to Yue Fei's tomb, but also witnessed the old ancestor being scolded by the people, he felt embarrassed for a while, and his face was red.
Just as the other people also recognized the identity of Qin Dashi, they immediately pointed out to him. For a time, the Yue Wang Temple was full of discussion.
Yuan Ming felt very guilty about his old friend in his heart, so he wanted to pull Qin Dashi away. Who knew that this act was immediately blocked by the good deeds, who not only did not let people go, but also asked Qin Dashi to make a couplet and write a poem for the Yue Wang Temple.
Who knew that Qin Dashi was very calm about this. He waved ink and wrote down a sentence that has been said for eternity: "People have been ashamed of their names since the Song Dynasty, and I am ashamed of my surname Qin before I go to the grave." He frankly acknowledged the treacherous behavior of his ancestors, and at the same time expressed his inner sense of justice.
When the surrounding people saw such sincere words, they could not help but feel that this descendant was indeed righteous. They scattered one after another, spreading the story, and there was another good story on the beautiful West Lake.
epilogue
Qin Dashi was a famous courtier of the Qianlong Dynasty, who could write poetry and paint, and was an all-rounder. As the chief examiner, he worked hard for the country, taught the prince to do his best, and finally lived to a normal retirement and died peacefully at home.
I think it is this open-mindedness that has the courage to admit the mistakes of his ancestors and calmly ignore the doubts of others that has made him successful.
