Soon, the wheel of history entered the dark Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although it is called Ming and Qing Dynasties, politics is not clear at all. Poetry is rich in five cars, but it never rains but it pours.
The less you have, the more you care.
What are the people in power in Ming and Qing dynasties most concerned about?
First of all, I will explain the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang-Emperor Hongwu.
Lin, a scholar in Zhejiang, wrote a grateful Xie Zengfeng Table, in which there is a sentence "If you work, you will talk about the constitution", and the result is-kill!
Zhao Boning, a scholar in Beiping Prefecture, wrote a "Birthday Watch", which contained a sentence "Do things according to your descendants", and the result was-kill!
Some people kill people because of the phrase "appearance is the world"!
Some people kill people because of the phrase "nothing is difficult in the world"!
Some people kill people because of a "keen nature and insight"!
Someone was killed because of a "body-dry fakun"!
Someone was killed for saying "Looking at the emperor from afar"!
Someone wrote "I am a gentleman, I am a father", kill!
Others were killed because they wrote "long life"!
What's all this for?
homophonic puns
What?
In Zhu Yuanzhang's brain circuit, "Ze" = "Thief" means to scold him for his humble origin and joining the rebel army, which means that he is a thief.
"There is a road in the world" is actually "there are thieves in the world", or he is called a robber.
As for "living knowledge", it is a homophonic stalk of "monk knowledge". To make fun of Zhu Yuanzhang's embarrassment, he is a monk!
"Fakun" means "curly hair", that is, shaving your head or laughing at your black history of becoming a monk.
"Emperor Princess" is the homonym of "Emperor Princess", which means that it is either wrong or wrong, or the emperor did something wrong!
As for "stone", it is the homonym of "killing"!
The most unjust thing is the word "autumn", because in Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown dialect, this word is pronounced "Zhu", so the person who wrote this sentence will also be killed!
The most aggrieved person wrote a sentence: "Under the skylight, natural saints rule the world." Enough to kill several times! "Light" means "bald head", meaning "monk", and "nature" is homophonic for "heavenly monk" and "being a thief".
What are the taboos! Do you want people to write well?
So someone asked Zhu Yuanzhang to publish a standard vocabulary, but do you guess Zhu Yuanzhang published it?
Of course not! Can the standard let you know?
There is a respected monk who once wrote a poem "Ode to the Jade Bird", including a couplet:
Zhu Yuanzhang read it and said, "Did you expose my strict legal system and refuse to use it for me?"
So-kill it!
Another monk wrote a poem about summer:
Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and said, "There is nowhere to enjoy the cool when cooked." Does this mean that my criminal law is too harsh? There is a shallow source in the pond in June' means that my foundation is not deep? What's the point of "sweeping the floor often" and "not burning incense"? I'm afraid that China people will talk about it, and they will kill people and refuse to do good. "
Somebody, kill!
All right, one more.
It is said that on another occasion, he went to a temple to burn incense and saw a poem on the wall of the screen chanting cloth-bag Buddha:
A poem that was quite serious originally became an anti-poem in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, so he asked a monk in a temple to go directly to the West.
In addition to homophonic terrier, Zhu Yuanzhang also has a taboo-brain tonic.
One wrote a song "Palace Complaints", thinking that it is always possible to talk about an affair without talking about anything else. Hehe, he is also sloppy. Zhu Yuanzhang actually made up the plot.
Let's take a look at the original poem:
The whole poem borrows the allusion of the old saying, "Get rid of the oriole, all the music on the tree, which woke her up when she was dreaming, and she went to the camp in western Liaoning to be with him."
But Zhu Yuanzhang, a guy who knows nothing about literature and pen and ink, doesn't have that elegant heart. How can he know what happened in the palace when he can directly brain-supplement the court ministers? . .
All right, castration!
As a result, scholars all over the country lived a boring life with trepidation.
One day, a scholar named Deng was recommended to Zhu Yuanzhang by a senior official, saying that this little Deng Zi had a good poem.
So Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to improvise poems on Zhongshan in person.
XiaoDengZi trembling wrote a poem, zhu yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at it:
I can't help clapping my hands and shouting on the dragon case-"OK".
Look at that little Deng Zi. He fainted early. He didn't wake up until he was carried out of Donghuamen. He didn't want any fame and fortune, so he ran home to celebrate his life.
Zhu Yuanzhang's third hobby is pretending to know nothing.
There is a story in the Biography of Gao Qi in the Ming Dynasty:
This Gao Qi, Liu Bowen and Song Lian is also called "everyone in the third day of next year". Of course, they are a bit poetic. For no reason at all, they wrote a song "Maids in Palace":
Others said it was elegant when they saw it. Only Zhu Yuanzhang smelled Sao Ling, but after all, they were the number one celebrity, so it was inconvenient to castrate them directly, so they were sent to their hometown-Suzhou to study and live.
Wei Guan, who is in charge in Suzhou at this time, is a man who can do practical things. At this moment, he is busy with two things, one is called "Fugong" and the other is called "Jing Kai".
"Returning to the palace" is not "returning to work", but it is similar. After the regime change war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Suzhou was also in a state of chaos and war. The original yamen has been ruined and abandoned because of its low terrain. Wei Guan decided to move the yamen to the original palace in Zhang Shicheng. Originally, the house was moved, but some people called it "Palace Restoration".
"Jing Kai" is dredging the blocked river.
As a result, Chaoyang people reported these two things to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that this was to restore Zhang Shicheng's power and go to Jinling!
But also attached an article written by Gao Qi for Fugong, which praised the new yamen "Wolong Plate".
Zhu Yuanzhang then began to "pretend to be forced": Isn't this "tiger sitting on a dragon plate" the description of the imperial capital in ancient times? Why do you blindly use the office? What is this? This is rebellion!
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang thought, Wei Guan dismissed from office, and Gao Qi was sent to Nanking to be beheaded.
Since then, the poetry of the Ming Dynasty has plummeted, and Du Li and Wang Bai have never appeared again. Only Wang Yangming remained silent.
Sometimes, when encountering homophonic stalks everywhere, people who pretend to be B are easy to make up their brains, and silence may also be a language.
