Qi Ru gossiped about Jin Ping Mei, "gossip and accounting" Dao Yuan: Since the Wu Dalang who sells spring cakes on the street in "Jin Ping Mei" refers to the Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan, and Wu Dalang's wife Pan Jinlian is Li Caifeng, and Ximen Qing, who has an affair with Jin Lian, is Zhang Juzheng. Then, Brother Qiao Yun, who "broke" the adulterous affair between the two, is an allusion to the author himself - that is, Wang Shizhen!
The so-called "Qiao" of Qiao Yunge means "false"; the so-called "obedience of the little boy has only relied on the many hotels in front of the county to sell some new fruits", which refers to the fact that because the author himself is very famous in the literary world, the articles he writes are often circulated in the tea house hotel - in order to make a living. In fact, Wang Shizhen lived in this way during the period when she was deposed by Zhang Juzheng. For example, I pointed out in the article "The author of (Jin Ping Mei) is Wang Shizhen, and his book was written between 1589 and 1590", and the use of Wang Xuan's court that appears in the 93rd time of the novel is an allusion to the author himself. However, when it comes to Wang Xuan's profession, he said: "The old man has a supervisor at the head of the door and opens a pawnshop." This is the same meaning as above, referring to the author's own self-sufficiency in life.
The so-called fact that Brother Qiao Yun got some silver money from Ximen Qing was an allusion to the fact that Wang Shizhen had received help from Zhang Juzheng:
In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547), Wang Shizhen was a zhongjinshi and was in the same department as Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang. In November of the 39th year of Jiajing, Wang Shizhen's father Wang Chen was executed for his defeat in the Battle of Luan river. After the death of Jiajing in December of the 45th year of Jiajing, and before the beginning of the Longqing New Deal, the cabinet corrected the shortcomings of the past policy in the form of an emperor's will—mainly to rehabilitate officials who had offended by disobedience.
So in the first month of the first year of Longqing, Wang Shizhen and his brother Wang Shimao entered Beijing to sue their father and wrote a letter to Xu Jiegong Li Chunfang—including Zhang Juzheng, who had not yet entered the cabinet at that time, to ask for help. So in August of that year, his father Wang Chen was rehabilitated.
Of course, this is mainly the result of Xu Jie's Middle Zhang Luo. As for how big Zhang Ju's role is in it, it is difficult to say. However, Wang Shizhen's appointment as an envoy to Huguang in June of the first year of the Wanli Calendar, his change to the post of Beijing Taifuqing in the spring of the second year of the Wanli Calendar, and even the inspector of Yun Yang in the first month of the third year of the Wanli Calendar, these were all things that Zhang Juzheng did!
This is the true meaning of the so-called Qiao Yunge in the novel, "often get Ximen Qinglai to send him some entanglements"!
Original Author: Gossip
Now the problem arises: since Ximen Qing was kind to Brother Qiao Yun and Brother Qiao Yun's act of helping Wu Dalang catch the adulteress objectively ruined Ximen Qing's good deeds, in fact, Ximen Qing did not retaliate against Brother Qiao Yun. What does this potential plot mean between Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen?
This needs to start from what happened in the local area when Wang Shizhen was patrolling Yunyang:
At that time, Yunyang County was Zhang Juzheng's hometown, and Wang Shizhen had just arrived in office two months after a serious political incident occurred. According to Guo Baoping's "Biography of Wang Shizhen, a Great Scholar of the Ming Dynasty", because the land of a student's family was measured more, this meant paying more taxes and grain. Therefore, a group of students stormed the local government and besieged the government leaders. The mastermind behind this incident is the brother-in-law of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant.
Wang Shizhen, on the other hand, believed that Zhang Juzheng was very strict with the little emperor in his usual time, not to mention that his own relatives had committed crimes! Zhang Juzheng will definitely ask for serious handling to further establish the glorious image of Zhang Juzheng as selfless, so Wang Shizhen did so.
There is another thing that Wang Shizhen also handled "very evilly."
In ancient times, if the celestial phenomena were abnormal, either the emperor would issue an edict to himself, or ask officials at all levels to "repair the province."
Just after Wang Shizhen finished dealing with Zhang Juzheng's brother-in-law, a serious earthquake occurred in the Jingzhou area and caused property damage. So the imperial court asked the officials to "repair the province", and in May, Wang Shizhen submitted to the central government his report on "repairing the province", "Earthquake Evacuation". To the effect of this, it is indirectly said that the earthquake was caused by Zhang Juzheng's excessive authority. Of course, Wang Shizhen's language is very tactful.
In the above two things, Wang Shizhen rebelled against Zhang Juzheng. However, Zhang Juzheng did not have a seizure at that time. This is the reason why after Brother Qiao Yun broke Ximen Qing's "good deeds", Ximen Qing did not retaliate against Brother Qiao Yun.
The so-called incident in which Brother Qiao helped catch the adulteress and Wu Dalang gave him a few pieces of money and a few cooking cakes was an allusion to Wang Shizhen's father's rehabilitation,-he was reinstated by the Longqing Emperor. That is to say, in this matter, Wang Shizhen was grateful to the Longqing Emperor.
In the novel, it is constantly mentioned that Qiao Yunge raised his father in the family, which is an allusion to Wang Shizhen's running for his father's rehabilitation.
Regarding this matter, the contemporary Tu Long commented on him as follows: Wang Xiang in ancient times was so famous for his filial piety that his other outstanding deeds were covered up; now Wang Shizhen is because his outstanding achievements in culture have covered up his filial piety. In other words, Wang Shizhen was also a filial piety: because his father was beheaded, Wang Shizhen and his brother Shimao kept filial piety for more than two years at the side of their father's grave and tied up grass. Moreover, Wang Shizhen believed that the killing of his father was caused by his quick tongue in front of Yan Song's son Shi Fan, and he had an extremely strong sense of guilt for his father's death.
Therefore, in the novel, Wu Song praised Qiao Yunge's filial piety.
Qi Ru gossiped about the golden bottle plum
Since the flash of Qiao Yunge in the novel is the author himself, then who does Wu Song, the main character throughout the book, allude to in history?
It was determined that the identity of Brother Qiao Yun was judged by me based on the plot of his adulterous affair with Jin Lian. Wu Song's revenge, then, "alarmed Dongping Province and caused a big fuss in Qinghe County." "It became a household name and has spread to this day more than four hundred years later." More importantly, the so-called adulterous affair between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing is an allusion to the adultery between Empress Li and Zhang Juzheng. This provides strong evidence for the legend of the "Black Heart Prime Minister Lying dragon bed".
From this point of view, Wu Song still alludes to the author himself, that is, Wang Shizhen.
Wang Shizhen is not only a writer, but also a historian. Wang Shizhen has the following evaluation of the history books officially revised by the Ming Dynasty:
"The dereliction of duty in the history of the country is no worse than that of our dynasty." "The state is afraid to write."
The gist of this is that the official history books of the Ming Dynasty are seriously inaccurate, for example, the emperor's dereliction of duty does not dare to write...
Mr. Wei Lianke, a contemporary expert, has a comment on Wang Shizhen: "Shi Guishi, Shi Jia Gui straight pen. This is the most wonderful part of Wang Shizhen's historical thinking. ”
And Wang Shizhen, as a historian, actually did the same:
His "Jin Ping Mei" is a history book about Zhang Juzheng's political events, and the affair between Jin Lian and Ximen Qing is an allusion to the adulterous affair between Empress Dowager Li Caifeng and Zhang Juzheng.
This is Wang Shizhen's act of "writing straight and straight" as a historian!
Wu Song is the author's reason
The so-called Incident of Wu Song fighting the tiger refers to the fact that when Wang Shizhen was the head of the Punishment Department in the second year (1548) of the Zhongjinshi, he dared to challenge the authority and did something that ordinary people did not dare to do: Yan Shi, a lieutenant of the Jinyi Guard, committed an accident and hid in the home of The Commander Lu Bing, and no one dared to arrest him.
Here we need to understand the background of this incident: the so-called Jinyiwei is the imperial forest army directly under the emperor's direct command, which is a paramilitary force. Lu Bing, the supreme leader of the Jinyiwei, was a confidant of the Jiajing Emperor. Why is it said that he is Jiajing's confidant?
Lu Bing's wife was once the nurse of the Jiajing Emperor. Let's think about how decent Grandma Li, the grandmother of baoyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber", is in Jia Fu, and we can understand that Lu Bing's weight is geometric. And in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, due to the fire in the palace, Lu Bing rescued the Jiajing Emperor from the fire.
Because of the special relationship between Lu Bing and JiaJing, no one dared to go to Lu Bing's house to get people. However, Wang Shizhen, who had just been appointed as the head of the Punishment Department, was young and vigorous, and adhered to the concept of "the prince breaking the law and committing the same crime as the common people", he rushed to the Lu Mansion and arrested Yan Shizhen!
The so-called Wusong fighting tiger is an allusion to this matter!
Therefore, the "Golden Bottle Plum" of the "Wanli Ben" has the phrase "Wu Song beat Tong Shumi because he was drunk", and the "Tong Shumi" in it alluded to the petty officer "Yan Shi", and the "Tong" character of "Tong Shumi" mentioned in it is the same as "Tong" - it is related to the fight against the tiger. That's why the author writes here, the words turn sharply, and then lead to the plot of fighting the tiger. The so-called plot of Wu Song beating Tong Shumi is precisely not mentioned in "Water Margin".
In the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Shizhen's move is called trouble. Perhaps Wang Shizhen later thought the same thing, and included the once teasing of Wang Shizhen because he was not accustomed to Yan Shifan's flying and stumbling. Therefore, in the novel, it is repeatedly said that Wu Song loves to cause trouble.
The so-called plot of Wu Song going to the Lion Building to kill Ximen Qing refers to the aforementioned story about Wang Shizhen's brother-in-law who cleaned up Zhang Juzheng in the third year of the Wanli Calendar, as well as Wang Shizhen's "Earthquake Evacuation". These two things were for the fairness of the state affairs and did not hesitate to offend Zhang Juzheng, and moreover, when Zhang Juzheng released his goodwill to Wang Shizhen.
Works of gossip
The plot of Wu Song's killing of Li Waichuan refers to the plot that Wang Shizhen imagined because he hated his friend Xu Xuemo. The reason for the incident was that Wang Shizhen was deposed after disobeying Zhang Juzheng for the above two things, and in the ninth year of the Wanli Calendar, Zhang Juzheng's henchmen wanted to curry favor with Zhang Juzheng by using Wang Shizhen's "Biography of Master Tanyang" to xingshi and ask for guilt. Among them, Xu Xuemo, a good friend of Wang Shizhen, on the one hand secretly offered to overture Wang Shizhen's wind and letter, and on the other hand, advocated severely punishing Wang Shizhen and other relevant personnel in front of Zhang Juzheng to show flattery. Therefore, Li Waichuan is an allusion to Xu Xuemo, the Rebbe Shangshu at that time, for details, see my previous article "Li Waichuan in (Jin Ping Mei) is a scolding of Xu Xuemo, a henchman of Zhang Juzheng.".
It was Empress Li's intervention that resolved the crisis of Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue. It is precisely because Li Caifeng came forward to relieve Wang Shizhen that this incident is the origin of the storyline of the so-called Pan Jinlian hooking up with Wu Song in the novel.
Wu Song and Wu Dalang are not actually brothers. So Pan Jinlian said, when I first married Wuda, I didn't hear any little uncle, where did you come from?
The so-called plot of Wu Song's killing of Jin Lian needs to start from the evaluation of Wang Shizhen by Xu Jie, the former assistant:
"This gentleman will exercise historical power one day, and he will be able to kill people with a hair cone."
And Wang Shizhen's act of writing the adulterous affair between the two into the book is the best interpretation of the above sentence - the real meaning of the so-called Wu Song killing Pan Jinlian is that Wang Shizhen has revealed the adulterous affair between Empress Li and Zhang Juzheng to the world!
In the novel, Wu Song, who claims to be Wu Dalang's brother, opens his mouth and claims that the killing of Jin Lian is to avenge Wu Dalang, which is actually Wang Shizhen's need to write history as a historian. Therefore, Pan Jinlian said: "If you are a relative or not a relative, you must be a qiao family father!" Since the old lady was remorseful, she bumped into these many birds! ”
This is the self-deprecating words of the author Wang Shizhen about his love and trouble-making disposition!
