In the early morning of March 19, 1644 (lunar calendar), in the face of the fire outside the city of Beijing and the loss of the inner city gate, the Chongzhen Emperor went to the crown to cover the face and hung it under the crooked neck tree of the coal mountain, completing his life, leaving his last famous sentence: "The emperor of the fallen country is not the king of the subjugation, the subject is the subject of the subjugation of the country... All the ministers are mistaken. "But he realized it too late. The official scene at the end of the Ming Dynasty left many super subjugated ministers. At the juncture of the han family's life and death, under the guidance of the Confucian Kong Meng Dayi, a group of shameless and unscrupulous beam-jumping clowns were presented, and their ugliness was also rare in the world. The following small editor will talk about such a shameless minister.
Chen Zhiyi (1605-1667), Zi Yansheng, Su'an, a native of Haining, Zhejiang. The famous and prestigious family in eastern Zhejiang is born. His father, Chen Zubao, was an official in The Reign of Emperor Mingsizong and was an official eunuch. Chen Zhiyi himself actively participated in the activities of the Donglin Party and the Fushe in his early years, and he was an old acquaintance with Qian Qianyi, Chen Mingxia and other famous "upright people" of the Donglin Party. In 1637, Keju struck a high school ranking and was taught the editor of the Hanlin Academy. Just when Chen Zhiyun was proud of the spring wind, there were unpredictable storms in the sky. His father was removed from his post and arrested for dereliction of duty during the Qing invasion. After Chen Zhiyi heard the news, he tried to rescue many parties, but the results were unsuccessful. However, when he learned that Chongzhen was not allowed to forgive, in order to clear his relationship with his father, he sought an opportunity to sneak into prison, and in the name of detectives, he took advantage of the gap between the guards and threw poison into the food, causing his father to die. However, after all, he still couldn't hide from it, "Emperor Fury Zu Bao missed the punishment", Chen Zhiyi was still implicated, was removed from his official post, never hired, and he had to return to the township in a decadent way.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhiyi began to be lively again, and in May 1645 he defected to the power of King Fu of Nanming, serving Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun and being appointed to Fujian to take charge of the township examination. However, because the Qing army was already approaching Nanjing at this moment, and the demise of the Fu Wang regime was imminent, he fled to his home garden on the way to Fujian. In the following year, many officials of the Southern Ming regime were heavily demoted and reused, so he happily surrendered to Zhang Cunren, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in the Qing Dynasty. Even more shamelessly, he was beheaded by the Ming Dynasty for describing his poisoned father as a city destroyed, in order to show that he had a vendetta against the Ming Dynasty, and to surrender to his father for revenge, and to give a poem allegiance saying: "Forty years of travel, but thirty-nine years are wrong." In order to show his loyalty, he advocated that Hong Chengzu excavate Zhu Yuanzhang's grave, Ming Xiaoling, so as to release Daming's dragon qi and let Daming "never be born again." After the news spread, people scolded him for losing his conscience.
But he was not ashamed, and relied on the art of flattery to make fun of Dorgon's cronies, and honored Dorgon as his benefactor. Coupled with his lineage from the Chen clan in Haining, Zhejiang, he also had some talent, and he was soon appreciated by the powerful regent Dolgun and became dorgon's minions. Most of the series of imperial court rules and regulations in the early Qing Dynasty came from Chen Zhiyi's hand. Soon, however, Dorgon was finished, and Shunzhi began to pro-government and began to sort out Dorgon's henchmen. However, Chen Zhiyi, because of his ability to see the wind and make ships, was quite favored by Shunzhi and strangely avoided the Dorgon case. Not only that, but the official position has also risen steadily. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, shangshu of the Shengli Department. Soon, he added the Prince Taibao. In the following year, he was awarded the Hongbun-in Academy of Sciences.
In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Chen Zhiyao spent a huge amount of money to buy the now famous scenic spot "Humble Administrator's Garden", became the second owner of the "Humble Administrator's Garden", and vigorously repaired it to make the garden more luxurious and prepared for his own use when he was old. I don't know whether this garden is ominous or what, every owner has no good end, and Chen Zhiyi is not an exception.
Chen Zhiyi was implicated by his old friend "Chen Mingxia", the leader of the Southern Party, and was impeached for joining the party for personal gain. However, because he was very good at taming Shunzhi, he escaped many great disasters. Perhaps it was evil retribution, once he was blamed by Shunzhi for making a mistake, he did not think so, and the next day he happily went to the Lingyou Palace, free and wanton, and was caught by his opponent and impeached to Shunzhi. Shunzhi found Chen Zhixuan to confront him, but he avoided the truth and answered the question, thinking that Shunzhi would still take care of him, but he did not expect that this time he disappointed Shunzhi greatly, and immediately ordered the officials to investigate and prepare for removal, never to be used, and later changed to "the disposal of the original official With Shengjing, and lived in the Original Shangyang Fort." Soon after, Shunzhi remembered Chen Zhiyi again and recalled him to the capital as an official, but he used the same set in the Ming Dynasty officialdom to bribe Shunzhi's most favored eunuch Wu Liangfu. Drawing on the experience of the ming dynasty's demise, the Manchu Qing forbade foreign ministers and internal prisoners to collude. He was guilty of a great taboo by doing so, and the gods could not save him. In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), Chen Zhiyi was impeached and paid bribes to the internal prisoner Wu Liangfu, and after Shunzhi ordered the investigation, the evidence was conclusive and he could no longer be tolerated, so he was put on death row and beheaded according to the law. However, in the end, Shunzhi still had an intolerable heart, and only removed him from his name and raided his home, and the whole family was exiled to the bitter cold land of Liaodong at the same time. In 1667, Chen Zhiyi died of illness at Shangyang Fort in Liaodong province after suffering from hopeless return to his hometown, completing his life. Because Chen Zhixuan's reputation was very bad, he was known as the "Five Immortals of Jiangsu and Zhejiang" together with Qian Qianyi, Cao Rong, Wu Weiye, and Gong Dingxiao.
Just as Qian Qianyi and Liu are like this, the so-called "righteous people" of the Donglin Party like Chen Zhiyi are far inferior to those of his wife, Xu Can, a famous female lyricist. For Xu Can, who has been educated in Confucianism since childhood, her husband's demotion means disloyalty and has lost his integrity. However, as a big girl, Xu Can could not not keep the way of women, like Liu Ru forced her husband to commit suicide in order to be loyal to the previous dynasty, and had to lyricize his love through patriotic poetry. Such as her "Man Jiang Hong. There is a sense of "Man Jiang Hong. "Coming to Kyo-ji Suan" fully expresses the hatred of the country and the hatred of the family and the resentment and opposition to the husband. After Chen Zhixuan's death, his beloved son Chen Zhifang also died of illness, and Xu Can could only accompany the ancient Buddha with the green lantern for life.
