Chapter 206 Fools are expensive too! (Seventh

Tu Hai and Xue Zhang have read all 73 poems included in the "Collected Poems of the Gentlemen of the Renzi Ke". They include Zhu Hetian's "Politics in Prison" and the "Exam-oriented Poems" written by the first to the seventy-two of the imperial examinations, while the poems written by the 72nd of the later tributes were not included in it.

However, these seventy-three poems were enough to make Tuhai and Xue Zhang deeply worried about the future and destiny of the Qing Dynasty.

Because all the seventy-three poems are the best grades that can be passed down from generation to generation - of course they are the best grades, all of which are famous masters, including Tan Sitong, Gong Zizhen, Xu Xilin, Qiu Jin, Lu Xun, Qu Dajun, Nalan Xingde and Master Hongyi. Although not every one is full of killing spirit, they are all works that can be passed down from generation to generation, and almost every one has good sentences that can be passed down.

The characters who can write such poems undoubtedly have excellent literary cultivation, and it is almost impossible for them to be cultivated by small families... Now is not a peaceful era with prosperous literary style, and most of the scholars who can participate in the Guangzhou pseudo-examination were grown up in the chaotic times that alternated between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the chaos of war, those who can still receive good literary education must be either rich or noble!

Most of the great talents who passed the pseudo-examination were Guangdong and Fujianese. Behind these dozens of great talents from Guangdong and Fujian, there must be dozens or even hundreds of strong clans!

Thinking of this, Tu Hai no longer had the time to study poetry, so he waved his hand and wanted to send Zhou Peigong and Fu Honglie out of the way.

Zhou Peigong breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get up and leave.

But Fu Honglie and Fu fool refused to leave because he had more important things to report.

"Zhong, Zhongtang, take a look at this..." Fu Honglie then took out several thread-packed books and raised his hands high.

Although Tuhai was not in the mood to read a book, he still reached out to take it, glanced at the cover of the top book, and frowned: "Great righteousness? What kind of righteousness?"

As he spoke, he was driven by curiosity and started reading the book.

After seeing it, Tu Hai's old face turned pale. While looking, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "I'm against it, I'm against it... I'm against it!"

Xue Zhang next to him heard strangely, "Zhongtang, what are you talking about? They are thieves!"

"Hmph!" Tu Hai snorted coldly and handed Xue Zhang the "Dayi" that he had read so quickly. "Xue Tixue, you can see it yourself... The fake third prince Zhu and the fake third grandson of Zhu not only wanted to create a rebellion from the Qing Dynasty, but also a rebellion from Confucianism!"

"The rebellion of Confucianism? Oh, it's Yuan Confucianism... It's better not to read it!" Xue Zhang didn't dare to take the book in Tu Hai's hand, so he quickly shrank his claws.

He actually didn't have to read Zhu Hetian's books, and he knew what this guy was doing? He was a serious imperial examination. How could he not know what there is in the hodgepodge of Confucianism?

Moreover, he was also a "Confucian scholar in troubled times". When he was young, he went to school, his hometown Jiangnan was ravaged by the Qing dynasty soldiers. Many elders in the clan died in the national crisis, some were massacred, and some participated in the anti-Qing rebel army and became loyal and martyrs. When he began to upgrade his exams, he encountered major cases such as "Zhuang Ting-chan Ming History Case", "Crying Temple Case", "Repeated Case" and "Tonghai Case". With such experience, he would of course be particularly interested in the "Beheading Confucian Confucian" part of the Confucian hodgepodge... He even dreamed that he could hold a long sword, defend the Dadao, and eliminate the rebels for a day.

But as he was successful in the imperial examination, he entered the official career, became a dog official, and understood the principle of the great grace of the emperor... those dreams eventually turned into nothingness.

However, when he sees those things, he will inevitably feel empathy. It would be bad if the true feelings are revealed and Tu Hai can see the clues.

Moreover, he knew that the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty was powerful, and he knew how to protect himself. The best way to avoid being implicated in literary inquisition was to not read what should not be read, not know what should not be known, not ask what should not be interfered with, and not investigate what should not be investigated.

Although Emperor Kangxi had long taken care of him to find out Yuan Ru, he did not get involved in this matter after he arrived in Guangdong.

It's good not to touch it!

When Tuhai saw Xue Zhang's behavior like this, he could only sigh. He could not blame others for shrunk his claws. He was a Han Chinese! If there is a "Ming Shi case", there is no "Yuan Confucian Case"?

He then glanced at his confidant Zhou Peigong, who looked so frustrated! It seemed that he could not expect him to present the evidence of the "Yuan Ru case" to the emperor in Beijing... Don't be scared away halfway, it will be difficult to explain.

Finally, Tu Hai turned his attention to Fu Honglie, Fu is a fool! Of course he doesn't know how to die.

"Fu Honglie," Tuhai said, "This time you went deep into the tiger's den, found out the enemy's situation, and made great contributions. I will submit a report to the court to ask for you!"

"Thank you for the grace of General!" Fu Honglie really didn't know how to die. He immediately thanked Tuhai, and then reported two more major events that Tuhai had a knife to cut him down.

"General, Caomin has also found out two major events this time!" Fu Honglie said, "Neither King Jing nor Duke Altan died! Among them, King Jing of Pingnan was also a prisoner, and Duke Altan even led thousands of loyal soldiers to defend the court in Xinhui... The third grandson of the pseudo-Zhu once spoke in public that when the pseudo-in-law was over, he would send troops to attack Xinhui!"

Knife...Where is the knife? Tu Hai wanted to find his own sword before Fu Honglie finished speaking!

However, before he could find a knife to cut people, personal soldiers came outside to report: "Report to the general, Princess Dingnan is here to visit."

Yes, I can't kill anyone to silence you!

Tuhai could not kill Kong Sizhen when she came to visit. Kong Sizhen was the confidant of the Empress Dowager!

But it’s good that she’s here. She is responsible for her fool. She will do whatever she wants to kill or stay!

......

The air almost solidified in the second hall of the General's headquarters.

General Sun Yanling of Dingnan has now returned to Zhaoqing to rectify the army, but Princess Kong Sizhen of Heshuo Dingnan did not go back with him, but stayed in Shaozhou to communicate in time with General Tuhai, the Kou of Ningnanjing.

Kong Sizhen heard that Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong returned to Shaozhou Prefecture before rushing to the general's headquarters, wanting to hear what his master Fu Honglie had found in Guangzhou? If she had any credit, she could also make the decision for Fu Shazi, so as not to be snatched away by Tuhai's master Zhou Peigong.

But unexpectedly, Fu Honglie and Fu fools would be so small!

In fact, it is enough for Fu Honglie to bring back a collection of poems and a list of fake tribute scholars. With this contribution, Kong Sizhen helped him with a few more beautiful words and it is possible to restore his official position.

But this fool didn't know how to do things, and he brought back so many evidences of "literary inquisition"... And that's not the end, he also brought back the news that Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin was not dead.

Kong Sizhen knew that if he had not come so timely, Tuhai would have silenced Fu Honglie.

But now that I have come, I can't let Fu Shazi die.

Thinking of this, she sighed leisurely and said, "Fu Shazi is a fool, but isn't I a fool? Lord Tu, our Qing Dynasty needs some fools... And there are not many fools anymore, and it's so precious to be seldom!"

OK, I'm stupid and think that rare is expensive!

The following Tuhai can't destroy Fu Honglie's mouth.

What should I do?

Tu Hai had no idea, so he had to look at Kong Sizhen "silly".

Kong Sizhen said: "I have the right to report secretly, so the affairs of the father and son of the Yuan Ru Heping Nanwang will be reported separately by the slave... Tu Zhongtang and Xue Ti are not aware of it."

With the Empress Dowager protecting Kong Sizhen, Emperor Kangxi also had no choice but to take this "Kong fool"! So she can only take these two blames.

She then said, "I have a secret copy of my family, as well as that collection of poems and booklets, let Fu Shazi take him to Beijing!"
