How did he die? "Mao Ji Er" said that Song Lian, a bachelor of Hanlin, was buried in Yinzhou and died in Yinzhou; Said he died in Kuizhou, Lu said he died in Kuizhou.
When I arrived in Kuizhou, although the language was vague, I couldn't see any signs of abnormal death. Unofficial history said it was death and suicide, and the suicide theory is more credible. As for the method of suicide, it is hunger strike and self-denial.
We can't agree. Let's put it aside and have a rough look at his life.
Song Lian Zi Jinglian, a native of Pujiang, Zhejiang Province, was born in Yuan Wuzong, in Grade Three (A.D. 13 10). He was eager to learn since childhood and worshipped famous teachers widely, becoming a rare learned man in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. During the Yuan Dynasty to Mindfulness,
Recommended by others, he was awarded editor by the Hanlin Academy, but Song Lian resigned and retired to Longmenshan to concentrate on writing a book. In the 18th year of Zheng Zheng (A.D. 1358), Zhu Yuanzhang captured Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) and recruited him as the teacher of the Five Classics. After ...
Later, Song Lian applied to Yingtianfu and was appointed as the Confucianism Promotion Department. Zhu Yuanzhang also gave him a particularly important mission: to teach Confucian classics to his eldest son, Zhu Biao. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Song Lian served as the president, director and wife of Yuan Shi.
Zi Zanshan, Ph.D., imperial academy bachelor lecturer, patent, etc. Not only did he listen to secrets and participate in decision-making, but he also personally drafted various important documents and presided over the compilation of some key classics, which was known as the "first of the founding civil servants" ("Ming History")
Song Lianchuan ",quoted below, no other comments). Song Lian's reputation is very great, not only "the high literary masterpieces are all from his hands", but even the inscriptions carved by the great ancestors and the Qing Dynasty were commissioned by Zhu Yuanzhang to be completed by Song Lian. So, that
Some bureaucrats, scholars and officials have come to the door to "beg for articles", and even foreign envoys have heard their names and repeatedly asked, "How is Mr. Song's daily life?" North Korea, Annan, Japan and other countries even paid a lot of money to buy Mr. Song's literature.
Settings. At this time, Zhu Biao has been established as the Crown Prince, and he has great respect for Mr. Song, who has taught himself for more than ten years. "His words will be called the master". Zhu Biao's younger brother was also named King of Qin, King of Jin, Prince of Yan, King of Zhou and King of Chu respectively.
And so on, Song Lian educated the prince in his spare time, which also inspired the learning of kings.
Song Lian had two sons, the eldest son Song Zan died unfortunately, and the second son Song Cong was "good at writing poems, especially calligraphy" and was also very talented, so he was called a calligrapher in China because of his father. Song Shenze, son of Song Zan, grandson of Song Lian.
Was appointed as a etiquette class. Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly evaluated the talents of Song Yan and Song Shen and "taught them". He also smiled and said to Song Lian, "Your Majesty taught princes and princes for me, and I also taught your descendants." Hongwu Decade (A.D. 1377)
In), Song Lian became an official because of his advanced age. Zhu Yuanzhang gave him "Yuzang" and silks and asked him how old he was. Song Lian replied, "Eight out of sixty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You can hide this for 32 years and make a hundred-year-old dress." Song dynasty; surname
Nod your head to show your thanks. Zhu Yuanzhang specially sent Song Shen to serve and escort his grandfather back to his hometown, and told him: "The Yangtze River is at high tide and is not suitable for sailing; Going south from the canal is the best solution. " It's really sweet, and it's also fun between the monarch and the minister.
Affection, touching.
Song Lian is honest and cautious by nature, and has been in chambers for a long time, mastering confidential information, but never complaining. The room where I live is signed "Wen Shu", which means "The trees in the greenhouse are not right". A tourist accidentally asked about the taboo-Song.
Just point to these two words and let him see them, and the guests will naturally feel at ease. As for Song Lian's character, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew fairly well, because he often privately commented on the gains and losses of good and evil with Song Lian, and Song Lian just quoted them.
Good and upright people praised them and said, "Good and upright people are friends of the minister, so the minister knows them;" As for being poor, because there is no communication, I don't know. " Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Song Lian served me in the 19th century.
In 2000, he never said a false word, never mocked a person's shortcomings, and was consistent. He is not only an upright gentleman, but also a saint. "
However, it was such a "gentleman" and "saint" that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him later. Why? It is said that Song Lian's grandson participated in Hu's "rebellion" case. moustache
Wei Yong was a minister in the early Ming Dynasty, from official to left prime minister. He used to be powerful. Hu really deserved to die, because he was authoritarian and good at killing people. It was explained that Liu Bowen, another famous civil servant in the early days, was also poisoned by him. But he said he colluded with Mongolia and Japan to rebel.
But there is no conclusive evidence. Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, took this opportunity to punish honesty and raise Dayu, because "there are more than 30 thousand people who are connected with kindness and sit down and punish them" ("Biography of the traitor Hu in the Ming Dynasty"). These more than 30 thousand people
Most of them were unjustly killed, which is the most typical one: because people have read history books, they can't find any examples of his participation in Hu's "rebellion." Even so, Song Lian was actually implicated by his grandson and was arrested.
When he arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang spared his life and exiled him to Maozhou, Sichuan Province, for the sake of "clear punishment" and thanking "the Queen and the Prince for saving him". How the Crown Prince Zhu Biao rescued his teacher Song Lian,
There is no specific record in Ming History; Only in the Biography of Empress recorded the process of Ma Huanghou's rescue of Song Lian: when Song Lian was arrested in Beijing and was about to be executed, Ma Huanghou remonstrated: "Shu Ren still wants to hire a teacher for his children.
Treat each other with courtesy from beginning to end, let alone the son of heaven? Besides, Mr. Song is far away in his hometown in Zhejiang, and he certainly doesn't know what his grandson did. "Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen. Ma Huanghou was very sad. She changed when she waited on Zhu Yuanzhang for dinner.
I used to neither eat a piece of meat nor drink a drop of wine. Zhu Yuanzhang asked the reason strangely, and Ma Huanghou replied, "Mr. Song is dying, and my concubine is praying for him." Zhu Yuanzhang finally moved with compassion and voted in favor.
The next day, I spared Song Lian's death penalty and exiled him to Maozhou.
In the book "Tale of Victory in the Wild", not only the story of Prince Zhu Biao and the rescue of Song Lian is recorded in detail, but also the case of Hu is not mentioned at all, which seems to show people that the disaster of Song Lian has nothing to do with the case of Hu. Or stubbornly involved in the Hu case, just to get rid of Song Lian's excuse.
Ok, let's take a look at Win Wild News:
In the tenth year of Hongwu, Song Lian pleaded for restitution because of his advanced age. The emperor personally gave him a farewell dinner and ordered his grandson Song Shen to "assist". Song Lian nodded goodbye and said, "As long as this desperate effort is still alive, I am willing to go to Beijing every year."
Come and see your majesty. "Sure enough, in the eleventh and twelfth years of Hongwu, he" kept his word "and came to Nanjing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The emperor was also attached to the old feelings and gave him high courtesy. But in the thirteenth year of Hongwu (AD 1380)
Song Lian didn't come. The emperor called his son Song Yan and his grandson Song Shen to ask why. They replied, "Unfortunately, I was ill. I hope your majesty will pity him for being old and forgive him. " The emperor sent an unannounced visit to Pujiang, Zhejiang, and found Song Lian.
"Nothing", flew into a rage, immediately put Song Cong and Shen Song in jail, and sent the suggestion to Pujiang to copy Song Lian's home. So the prince remonstrated with tears: "My son is ignorant and straightforward, and there is no other teacher. I hope your majesty will have mercy and spare Song. "
The master's life. "The emperor is angry:" When you become the son of heaven, forgive him again! "The prince was frightened, and he could do nothing. He was so anxious that he drowned himself. Thanks to the rescue of his entourage, he saved his life. The emperor was overjoyed and cursed, "Idiot!
Son, what does it matter to you that I kill people? Then, people who dive to save the prince are distinguished: those who jump into the river without taking off their clothes and shoes are promoted to the third level; Anyone who takes off his clothes and shoes before entering the water will be beheaded. emperor
The basis is: "The prince is drowning, and life and death depend only on one breath. Can you wait until you take off your clothes and shoes to save him? " Through this change, the emperor pardoned Song Lian's death and asked him to come to Nanjing to see him. Song Lian hasn't arrived yet,
The emperor's anger came up again and he still wanted to kill him. The queen exhorted the emperor to fast again. Although he was very unhappy, he finally gave up the idea of killing Song Lian. When Song Lian arrived in Nanking, the emperor ordered him to be exiled to Maozhou without meeting each other.
Go ahead. But Song Cong and Song Shen were finally killed.
As a member of Amin Dynasty, if Xu Zhenqing didn't want to be killed and hoped that his works could be handed down to future generations, he could not publicly rehabilitate Song Lian, let alone publicly condemn the sacred "Mao Huanggao".
The emperor. " So, literally, although Zhu Yuanzhang will kill himself and his son and grandson just because Song Lian failed to keep his birthday in Beijing, it seems a bit excessive, while Song Lian claimed to be sick when he was "innocent" and really committed "deception".
The sins of the monarch. "However, if you scrutinize carefully, it is not difficult to find that the author is actually trying to defend Song Lian: it is entirely possible for an elderly person to stay in bed due to illness, and the straight-line distance from Nanjing to Pujiang is five or six hundred miles.
Under normal circumstances, when Uncle Song Cong was at home, Song Lian was ill. Back in Beijing, he told the emperor that it would take at least ten days to send a special envoy to Pujiang for an unannounced visit. Isn't it true that a patient hasn't been treated for ten days?
Is it possible to recover? It was Song Lian who came to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. Absence due to illness won't miss anything, but Zhu Yuanzhang is so concerned about a dying old man. It's not obvious that he's picking bones in eggs.
Bones. Xu Zhenqing did not clearly record the cause of Song Lian's death, but many other unofficial history, local chronicles and epitaphs recorded that Song Lian died of hunger strike or hanged himself. Even if it is dead, as recorded in Ming History and Lu, then
Yao, a 70-year-old man, watched his home copied, his son and grandson killed, and was taken to the rugged Shu Road to exile the army. All this came from the dynasties and emperors who served him for many years, not to mention that he didn't.
But only virtue can make meritorious deeds, so be cautious. He has never been proud of himself, but he is still born to die. Can he not get sick? Can he die without getting sick?
Song Lian created a lot of works in his life. In addition to compiling the 2 12 volume History of Yuan Dynasty, the only works that can be found in Ming History and Yiwenzhi are the Theory of Filial Piety, Filial Piety Record and Supplementary Biography of Tang and Pujiang People.

"Don't remember far away", "Remember the sky" and so on. In fact, how did he know that his tragedy was that he was knowledgeable and famous? Even foreigners paid a lot of money for his anthology, so why not provoke Zhu Yuanzhang's jealousy! As one of the emperors
Before and just after he ascended the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was "thirsty for wisdom" because he needed a large number of talented people to seize and govern the world for him. Once the emperor was firmly established, he began to doubt even
Killing heroes: not only the killer holds the military power, but also the military commander who can lead the troops to fight; Scholars who are knowledgeable and have their own unique opinions can't let go. The founding emperor, born in poverty, became a monk in his early years, but not as a teenager.
I received a formal education. Although I learned a little culture from Confucian scholars in the army later, I always felt a little inferior in front of knowledgeable and knowledgeable scribes. What's more, a pen written by a scholar is sometimes better than.
Sword and halberd are more terrible. Hongwu's once tight net is unprecedented. Mr. Wu Han said in Zhu Yuanzhang's Biography: "Zhu Yuanzhang killed hundreds of thousands of people with heavy punishment, mainly the Lord protector, the fierce Hou and the Da.
Yes; The Prime Minister, ministers of ministries and research institutes, officials of various departments and professional civil servants of states and counties; Jinshi, Guo Jian, Jingsheng, Confucian scholar, scholar-bureaucrat; Monks and Taoists; Rich people, landlords, etc ... "In this climate, as the" first of the founding civil servants "
How can you avoid a bullet even if you are afraid and careful?
Alas, Song Lian is dead! He must die. He must die. What is the difference between dying of illness and dying of anger, or dying of hunger strike and hanging? Perhaps, with the help of the queen and the prince, you can save a bald head and finally get a whole body, or are you lucky in misfortune?
Alas, this creepy "great fortune"!
