Gong Cheng, whose real name is Xiao Gong and whose real name is Chang Xie, is the eldest son of the famous poet Gong Zizhen. Gong Zizhen is a bright spot in the literary history of Qing Dynasty. He is a thoughtful and talented patriotic poet. In his poems, he often shows a strong sense of worrying about the country and the people. However, his son is not only unpatriotic, but also a traitor. At that time, he was regarded as a traitor. People who read modern history in later generations know the behavior of this famous father's son and regard it as scum.
It is a sin of British and French imperialism that Yuanmingyuan, a garden of ten thousand gardens, was reduced to ashes, but it is unforgivable that he came up with such a bad idea as a guide, senior consultant and dog head strategist. This page of history will forever leave the name of this ugly class, and this name will last forever. If Gong Zizhen were a little-known Mr. Dong Bing, perhaps people would not be affected. However, he is a poet, he is a literary elite, and his "Poetry in Shanghai" is a household name. In this way, he has to eat his son's "hanging down"-look at that dog thing you gave birth to. Fortunately, when his son did this, he was already dead. If he is alive and someone points at his nose and hurts him like this, he can only lose his temper.
Nowadays, when we talk about this poet, we can't help thinking of his black sheep. As long as we talk about burning Yuanmingyuan, we can't help but mention Gong Banlun, who led the British and French allied forces to burn down a generation of famous gardens. Gong Zizhen certainly can't take any responsibility for this heartless traitor, but it's true that his son, an asshole, has defiled his reputation all his life.
"Bo stator filial piety arch, late number half, half, no brothers and friends, father and son husband and wife, and still concubine, so it is called semi-LUN Yun. Half-hearted, less studious, unique in talent, indifferent and taciturn, good at being narrow and evil. When people reach middle age, the benefits are scarce, and they sell books for a living. The British side (Wade Fang) set up a recruitment museum in Shanghai, which made him very happy. Everyone in Shanghai and the west calls him Mr. Gong, but it's not his name. He pays one hundred dollars a month to repair his breasts. In the battle of Gengshen, Britain and Israel sailed into Beijing and burned the Yuanmingyuan, and the two armies followed. Orange (Gong Banlun's famous orange-editor's note) rides first, and Jinyu returns. " (The Grand View of unofficial history in Qing Dynasty, Volume 1) Whenever it comes to burning Yuanmingyuan, it will involve this scum. As long as it involves this person, it will start with Gong Zizhen.
Chen Gong was born in Shanghai, then traveled around with his father and officials, and lived in the capital for the longest time. He was smart since he was a child and could read Manchu and Mongolian. Wang Tao wrote a biography for him, saying that Gong Ju "has a rich collection of books, belonging to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and there are many books that have not been hidden in the four libraries, and there are also books that the literati have not seen." When I was young, I was immersed in it. Every time I have a secret, I will write it down in a lamp instead of a book, so that I can learn everything and have a profound mind. "Like his father, he studied classical literature the most. Especially good at philology. Chen Gong also studied the history of Yuan Dynasty, and wrote fifty volumes of Yuan Zhi. He is good at poetry and calligraphy, and sometimes has the reputation of "filial piety and true calligraphy".
Despite his family background and strict father's teachings, Gong Cheng was arrogant and fond of empty talk, and was called a madman by the world. Gong Zizhen urged his son to be practical in his study in "Jihai Miscellaneous Work": "If you are frugal, you will be worried, and if you are frugal, you will be willing to take responsibility and get the title of Hou." "Learn more about the preface and the virtues of animals, and don't put your heart into the transaction." The poem shows the anxiety of boasting about his son and is full of love and expectation for his son. But Gong Ju is arrogant. After his father died, he became more and more unruly and bohemian.
When Zeng Guofan was the governor of Liangjiang River, he appreciated his talent and planned to use him to host a banquet and test it with words. Unexpectedly, he said, "In my position, the public can give me a supervisor at most." Do you think I can be inferior? Not much to say, just talk about romance tonight, please don't talk about anything else. "Zeng Guofan was speechless with anger.
Gong Ju is addicted to alcohol, whoring and eating, and its luxury is surprising. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/860, Britain and France invaded China, and Gong Ju went north with British warships and came to Beijing. He wore a braid on his head, a foreigner's hat and a white suit, and went in and out of foreigners' barracks like a fake foreigner.
On August 22nd of the lunar calendar, French soldiers rushed into Yuanmingyuan, and the next day, British soldiers rushed into the park, plundering first and then burning. Legend has it that Gong Ju was an accomplice in burning Yuanmingyuan. After the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing, "those who burned and plundered Yuanmingyuan were guided by Gong Banlun. A little-known orange, with a rare word, is talkative and bohemian. I am embarrassed in the capital and moved to Shanghai to manage the classroom for the British consul. When British soldiers invaded the north, Gong said that' the essence of Qing Dynasty is in Yuanmingyuan' and the capital fell, so the British and French allied forces went straight to Yuanmingyuan. " (According to "The Ruined Yuanmingyuan") The Grand View of unofficial history in the Qing Dynasty also recorded that "the Battle of Gengshen, Britain and Israel sailed into Beijing, burned the Yuanmingyuan, and reluctantly went with them. "
In his later years, Gong Ju was depressed, abandoned everything, and finally went insane and died in madness.
