According to research, since the Tang Dynasty implemented the "kaike to take soldiers", from the beginning of the first emperor Sun Fujia in the fifth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (622) to the last leader Liu Chunlin in the thirtieth year of Qing Guangxu (1904), a total of 777 titles were produced in this long period of 1283.
Through these data, we have found an interesting phenomenon, that is, the ancient Liangguang region was rare, and the reason for this is not difficult to understand, this is because in ancient times, the Liangguang area belonged to the barbaric land, and education was not developed.
In ancient times, there were two broad titles, which were the smoke from the tombs of the ancestors, and the titles became a topic of people's talk. In this article, we will talk about the anecdotes of Zhuang Yougong, the first zhuangyuan of Guangzhou Province in the Qing Dynasty.
Zhuang Yougong
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01">
</h1>
Zhuang Yougong was born in the fifty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1713), at the age of 26, he became the first Emperor of Lingnan in the Qing Dynasty.
Zhuang Yougong was originally from Jinjiang, Fujian Province, and moved from his grandfather's generation to Panyu County, Guangzhou, which was a desolate place far away from the emperor in the Qing Dynasty.
No one thought that the first leader of the Two Guangdong Regions in the Qing Dynasty was actually in a small mountain village where rabbits do not, and people could not figure out why? So it is said that his family's ancestral tomb has good feng shui, and it is also said that it can produce nine generations of yuan and belong to the tomb of the sub-emperor, is this really the case?
If you look at the bookmaker's "ancestral tomb feng shui is good" from a scientific point of view, it is obviously nonsense.
However, there is indeed a legend in Zhuang Yougong's hometown: legend has it that Zhuang Yougong's grandfather was originally from Jinjiang, Fujian Province, and later moved with his family to Jinya Town, Xinyi City, in the mountainous region of western Guangdong.
Yougong's grandfather was a mountain dweller who cultivated herbs in the wilderness, and he was also half a doctor, and often took medicine for the local people to see a doctor for free.
One evening, Grandpa was eating in a thatched hut on the hill when suddenly a crane-haired and childlike Chief came in.
Afterwards, it was learned that this Taoist master was a feng shui master who was looking for a feng shui treasure land after crossing mountains and mountains. Tired and thirsty, I happened to see Grandpa Gong's thatched hut, so I went to beg for food and drink.
Grandpa Yougong was usually a warm-hearted person, and when he saw the dusty servant, the Daoist commander hurriedly took out a good meal to entertain.
The Dao Commander was so hungry that a gust of wind swept through the clouds and ate the food that Grandpa Gong had stored for a long time.
Before leaving, the Dao Commander was embarrassed that he could not repay it, so he told Grandpa Gong about a feng shui treasure he found, and then the Dao Commander drifted away.
After Gong's grandfather got the treasure land, he hurried down the mountain and returned to his home in the town, and told his son and daughter-in-law the good news, Gong's grandmother has been dead for many years, and Gong's grandfather told his son that after a hundred years, he would bury me in the mountain feng shui treasure land, and the master said that from then on, our Zhuang family will be developed and will produce nine generations.
Yougong's father, Zhuang Cunzhai, was a butcher who sold meat with knives and did not know the big characters, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even nodded his head, turned to his daughter-in-law and said, After I die, you will also bury me in the treasure land of feng shui.
The daughter-in-law said angrily, "Now I will bury you, occupy that place, and save others from thinking about it." ”
This was supposed to be a joke, who knew that the speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, and Zhuang Cunzhai was stunned there thoughtfully.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, Zhuang Cunzhai suddenly found that his father had not returned home for 7 days, he was not at ease to go to the mountain to find his father, only to find that his father had died in the feng shui treasure land, and the body had been buried by termites.
Zhuang Cunzhai was shocked by the scene in front of him, he had long heard that termite burials belonged to heavenly burials, and he couldn't imagine that the feng shui treasure land was so magical, and the heavens appeared.
Zhuang Cunzhai suddenly inspired, why don't I occupy this treasure land early, let the descendants out of 9 yuan is also worth it, thinking of this he pulled out a pig-killing knife to cut his wrist and died, strangely, the blood that flowed to the ground quickly disappeared.
Later, his daughter-in-law, with the help of the villagers, buried her husband's body in the treasure land.
Later, people said that feng shui treasure land changed against fate, and Zhuang Yougong won the title at the age of 26.
Of course, the above is just a legend.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02">
Zhuang Yougong was able to rely on talent and hard work, and he was known as a child prodigy since he was a child.
Legend has it that when Yougong was 6 years old, he and his friends flew kites, and accidentally blew the kite into the Zhenyue General's Mansion, and the little friends looked at each other, and no one dared to go to the General's Mansion to pick up the kite.
There is a gong patting the chest and saying "I'll pick it up". Because the people were small and unobtrusive, Yougong evaded the guards. When he entered the courtyard, the general was playing chess with the guests, and when he heard the movement, the general looked up, and the two of them looked at each other, and the general was stunned and said where was this child? He looked quite standard, so he beckoned for Yougong to pass.
Yougong walked over without fear, and the general pretended to be angry and asked: Where are you a child? There is a respectful face that does not change color and the heart does not beat to answer truthfully.
checkmate
The general was so strange that others were terrified when they saw me, and this child was not afraid, so he angrily said: Are you not afraid of me? I'm a tiger who wants to eat people!"
You Gong calmly said, "Has the general forgotten the words that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger?" The general became more and more curious, and the boy was so witty that he asked, "Will you be right?" Would you pair up a few words? ”
Yougong said, "One word can be right, and 100 words can be right." "The general thinks that there is a gong bragging, and the painting of the middle hall with one finger in the hand says the upper link: the old painting is a church, the dragon does not groan, the tiger does not roar, the flowers do not smell the fragrant birds do not bark, and it is ridiculous to see this boy.
You Gongyi pointed to the general's chessboard and said: "Half a game of chess, the car has no wheels, the horse has no saddle, the cannon has no smoke, the pawn has no food, and the cheering general is wary."
The general clapped his hands and laughed, a good widow with sharp teeth, and then the two became friends.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03">
Zhuang Yougong is not only outstanding in literary style, but also the key person is also handsome and handsome. It is estimated that Zhuang Yougong and Hezhen are somewhat similar, the similarities between the two are both academic bullies, and although Hezhen is a corrupt official, his cultural level is very high. The difference is that Zhuang Youyou is not greedy and is a clean official. Qianlong liked the beautiful xueba.
During the temple examination, Zhuang Yougong's argument of "not for the horse of the battle, but for the phoenix of the rising sun" was deeply loved by the Qianlong Emperor, and the meaning of this sentence was that "I will not be a corrupt official, but a clean official." Qianlong lacked exactly such an official, so he hand-picked Gong Wei as the champion and gave him the post of cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, and went straight to the study to walk.
Two years later, he was promoted to the rank of acolyte, four years later he was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Guanglu Temple, and at the age of 33, he was promoted to the right attendant of the Bingbu. At the age of 35, he served as the governor of Jiangsu Xuezheng, at the age of 37, he served as a waiter in the household department, and at the age of 39, he served as the inspector of Jiangsu.
Obediently, yougong, who was less than 40 years old, became a feudal official of the Qianlong Dynasty. Judging from his resume, his promotion is very fast.
There were two reasons for this: First, he was favored by the Qianlong Emperor, who pardoned Yougong for the death penalty. It turned out that when Zhuang Yougong was serving as the inspector of Jiangsu, he handled several cases that violated the criminal law of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the course of events was as follows:
Within his jurisdiction, there was a local tycoon named Zhu Yu who violated the law and was imprisoned according to the law. The local tycoons are not short of money, so they ask for money to buy crimes and not go to jail.
At that time, Qianlong went down to Jiangnan to toss out the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, zhuang Yougong in order to increase the financial revenue of the local government, so he allowed the request of the criminals, and finally Zhu Yu took the money to get away with it, and several such cases were handled, and the local government did generate income, but it undermined the dignity of the law.
Just when Zhuang Yougong was transferred to the post of inspector of Fujian, he explained these cases of violations to Qianlong. At that time, Qianlong was furious and initially planned to cut him to death. Qianlong immediately reviewed the case and found that the money did not fall into Zhuang Yougong's pocket, but was used in the local government's funds, and Qianlong extinguished his anger and changed the decision to the service of issuing military stations.
Another reason for Qianlong's extrajudicial enlightenment is that Zhuang Yougong is a rare technical official, in addition to his literary talent, he is also a water conservancy expert, he has made outstanding contributions to the control of floods, and has effectively managed floods in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei and other places.
It should be known that the flooding of the southern embankment was the most headache of the Qing Dynasty, and every year the embankment was repaired without seeing the embankment, and the funds were all adrift.
Since Zhuang Yougong took office, the floods in these places have been cured, and the people have praised him, which is the main reason why Qianlong is reluctant to kill Zhuang Yougong, and it is still useful to keep him.
In addition, I personally think that Qianlong did not kill Zhuang Yougong, there was a reason for the lack of talents in Liangguang, it was difficult to fly out of a small mountain village, a golden phoenix, and finally let Qianlong kill, the people of Liangguang could not accept it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04">
Earlier said that the dealer wants to produce 9 generations of champions, why is there no Zhuang Yougong?
Legend has it that Qianlong in order to break the providence, but also to prevent the Zhuang family is too strong, so he followed Liu Yong's advice to make 9 sets of Zhuang Yuan, let Zhuang Yougong wear a set of home every year to announce the good news, there are Gong Lian wearing 9 Yuanfu to represent the Zhuang family even out of 9 Yuan, I have to say that Liu Yong's move is indeed yin, after which the Zhuang family has a Yuan.
When Qianlong went down to Jiangnan for the 5th time, at this time, Gong Dai was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang to control the flood, and when Qianlong guanHaining was in the Dynasty, he specially invited Gong Qiao to praise his achievements in controlling the flood, and at the same time pardoned him for not paying enough fines, and a cadre of monarchs and courtiers drank and talked freely at the Guanchao Pavilion.
The Qianlong Emperor
The Qianlong Emperor would leave ink treasures everywhere he went, and Guan Tide was no exception. Only to see the Qianlong Emperor excitedly chanted a link: the sky is light rain, a thousand needles and green, swimming the east port, the west port, the lake port, swimming all over the port of Luofu, through the eighteen peaks, mountain view, sea view, sun and moon view, the universe is empty.
I counted a total of 42 words, such a couplet belongs to the super long couplet, it is not easy to get out of the lower couplet, and the officials accompanying the trip scratch their scalps and meditate hard one by one.
Qianlong almost laughed out loud when he looked at his subordinates' sad faces. Just when he was embarrassed, Zhuang Yougong came out of the lower link: underground scholar, seven holes and eight tricks, the yuan of understanding, the yuan of hui, the yuan of zhuang, the three yuan of lianzhong into Hanlin, the point of eighteen bachelors, for the family, for the country, for the world, meritorious and prosperous.
When Qianlong heard this, he clapped his hands and said that Zhuang Yougong had not only praised himself, but also taught his colleagues a political lesson.
Zhuang Yougong was a Qing official in general, and although he committed the crime of killing his head, his original intention was for the Great Qing, so Qianlong tried to ensure that he did not die.
He exercised strict self-discipline when he was an official in Guangdong and never sought personal benefits for his relatives. At first, his relatives said that he was not close to people, but then he slowly understood.
In February 1767, Zhuang Yougong was transferred to the post of Inspector of Fujian, his ancestral home. In July, just when he was making a new contribution, he suddenly fell ill and died 9 days later, at the age of 55, his relatives wept bitterly, and Qianlong quit the dynasty for three days.
After his death, Zhuang Yougong was buried in the ancestral tomb, and in 1999, during the third cultural relics census in Guangzhou, people found Zhuang Yougong's cemetery, which is located on Fei'eLing in Dasha Town, Huangpu District.
In 2003, when guangzhou held the 4th cultural relics census, through clues and cultural relics, it was found that the so-called tomb was actually the cemetery of Zhuang Yougong's father Zhuang Cunzhai, and the real Zhuang Yougong's cemetery was found 50 meters next to his father.
After that, the Guangzhou cultural relics department jointly protected the tomb of Zhuangyuan and the tomb of the father of Zhuangyuan, and now it has become a scenic spot for the Zhuang family's sacrifice.
