During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a mentally ill person named Wang Zhaoji, you say that there are many angry people, the surname "Wang" is not the surname "Huang", if the surname "Huang" will have no worries about food and clothing, there will be no such ancient anecdotes.
Although Wang Zhaoji was mentally ill, he especially wanted to be an official, thinking during the day, thinking at night, and dreaming. But he can't get into the military examination, what to do? Seeing that people are officials, Fei Huang Tengda, three wives and four concubines, Guangzong Yaozu, he is not willing, I Wang Zhaoji a table of talents, how can the family disciples four walls, only one wife? So he racked his brains, heck, really came up with a solution, but he didn't expect that this method would kill him.
The Qing Dynasty literary prison was very terrible, people did not dare to speak indiscriminately, officials were popular to pat themselves on the back, Qianlong's favorite courtiers and Yan Yan patted their horses in front of Qianlong every day, pleasing their hearts, and received countless rewards from Qianlong, and Qianlong also turned a blind eye to Hezhen's corruption, resulting in the Hezhen family's wealth and wealth being enemies of the country.
Wang Zhaoji wrote a hymn to discuss the major events of the Qing Dynasty, and also found another way, people are patting Qianlong's horse ass, he is patting the emperor and empress dowager's ass, and also wrote a couplet congratulating the empress dowager on her long life and boundless life, the empress dowager is Qianlong's elder, Qianlong also has great respect for her, Wang Zhaoji hopes to show loyalty to Qianlong and let Qianlong like him.
He triumphantly handed over the hymn to the government. At that time, there were countless people who offered praise books, and those who wanted to become officials were full of stars, but where was he wrong? Some say that he didn't make a loud enough slap and dwarfed him in front of other horses; others say that he was superficially sneaking around and patting a horse, but in fact he was sarcastic; more historical sources treated him as a madman and did a stupid thing.
The Qing Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, with Confucian culture as the main governance of the country, feudal thought was very serious, Kong Meng was a sage at that time, any of their views and deeds were always correct, if anyone dared to disobey, it was neurotic, heavy is the death penalty, privately no one dared to discuss Kong Meng's sentence is not. Although Wang Zhaoji patted the empress dowager's ass, he said bad things about Kong Meng, and committed a big taboo.
At that time, the Fenzhou capital Tongzhi (the deputy post of the prefect) Tusang'a read Wang Zhaoji's dedication, and then made a criticism of "misplaced, and there are slanders against the sages, arrogance and rebellion", seeing Wang Zhaoji's words on the horse's ass of the empress dowager, he felt that he was quite "normal", but he also criticized Kong Meng, who was supported by this dynasty, "similar to madness", what the hell is going on? Normal and not normal? It was better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one, so Tuasan took Wang Zhaoji to a cell and kept him under strict supervision.
In Tuasang's eyes, Wang Zhaoji is a monster with crooked doors, and if he travels to the 21st century, he will not think like that, and may feel that he is not normal than Wang Zhaozhong. But there is no if in the world, and there are few people who can escape the limitations of the times.
The prefect of Fenzhou reported to Inspector Asha about Wang Zhaoji's donation, and When Asha read Wang Zhaoji's dedication, he not only raised the same question as Tuasan, but also focused on Wang Zhaoji's vain discussion of state affairs.
When Asha interrogated him, he questioned Wang Zhaoji, saying that the major affairs of the country were discussed by such small people, and they also contained the meaning of ridicule and ridicule! It can be seen from this that the common people of the Qing Dynasty could not openly discuss major state affairs, and public opinion was very strictly controlled. Wang Zhaoji not only dared to discuss state affairs, but also dared to mock the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs consciously or unconsciously.
Ashea wondered, how did the person in front of him know about the major events of these countries? Wang Zhaoji's answer may have solved the reason for his mental illness. Wang Zhaoji said that he was a governor in various places at any time, and there were major national events from the "Beijing Daily" and some gossip. That is to say, Wang Zhaoji has been a servant of an official, and he has also followed his master in the official field, and what official corruption has not been seen?
Although the historical records do not record how Wang Zhaoji became mad, but this person was insane after he was a servant in the official government, what he saw, and what stimuli he received, it may be assumed that he saw through the ugliness of the officialdom, so he pinned his hopes on Qianlong, which also makes sense why he wanted to please Qianlong, but he was dissatisfied with Kong Meng, unhappy with state affairs, unbelieving to civil and military officials, and even hating.
Wang Zhaoji originally thought that the dedication of books would allow Qianlong to see his talent and know that he was sincere and bold, but Qianlong did not need intellectuals who dared to criticize, even if he was willing to pat him on the ass, he had a canary who pretended to criticize--Ji Xiaolan was enough, and the feudal state could not tolerate real criticism.
After Qianlong read Asha's recital and Wang Zhaoji's dedication, he also thought that Wang Zhaoji was "just crazy." How can such bandits, who act ignorantly and presumptuously, slander the sages, fabricate current affairs, and when they are sick and ruined, do not repeat such acts, and their ordinary duty of not committing crimes, and the crime of adultery, can be seen again in broad daylight? ”
Qianlong also believed that Wang Zhaoji was "making up current affairs", but the first time Asha saw Wang Zhaoji's dedication, he did not think so, but felt that he was arrogantly discussing state affairs. It shows that Qianlong is not aware of every major state event, and not everything is known to Qianlong by civil and military officials.
Wang Zhaoji was finally beaten to death by the government's random sticks, and in the unfortunate, Qianlong only thought that he was a madman, did not have the Nine Tribes, and was full of door slashes.
The Qing Dynasty's literary prison is terrible, and it is not enough to shoot the empress dowager's ass, but also to compliment Confucian culture, praise national events, and not have any ironic meaning, nor can it ridicule the civil and military officials. So don't pat the horse's ass, there are few good ends in the horse's ass, and the insults of the ancients, Wang Zhaoji has become the laughing stock of the ages.
