Chapter 796: The Legend of Wei Erdu
"Taking a Thorn to apologize for guilt" comes from "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", and "Taking a Thorn to apologize for guilt" comes from the notes "The Legend of Wei Erdai".
"The Legend of Wei Erdai" is a note of Wei Liangchen, a member of the Donglin Party of Ming Dynasty attacking Liangfu, the court's strongest rank, and the founder of the prosperous era in East Asia.
The book has thirty volumes and four additional volumes, written by Wang Dade, a native of Jintan, Zhenjiang.
Dade's name is nonsense. In the 38th year of Wanli, he was a juren from a family and was a member of the family. He lived with his father in the capital. He had many relationships with the scholars and officials, old family members and senior officials, and senior officials. He searched and read widely recently, and was well-known and well-known, especially in current affairs and court allusions. After returning home, he would follow the story of Wei Yi uncle and nephew, imitate the style of Ouyang Xiu's "Gui Tianlu" and record the essays, and took the nickname of Wei Yi Erdaizi in the market as the title of the book.
This book was completely written in the sixth year of the Tianqi period, and there were three more chapters to complement it.
The book often slandered and distorted the uncle and nephew of nine thousand years old, and was extremely distorted, accusing Wei Yi and nephew of being domineering, insidious, cunning, arrogant and unrestrained, and flattering, and flattering the emperor, and he was able to win favor with the emperor, and he could do his best to make bones and suck marrow from the bottom of the country. He made many things out of nothing, and directly listed Wei Yi Yi as the first powerful eunuch in history.
The most exaggerated thing in the book is that Wei Yiliang ministers openly searched for a wonderful recipe for strengthening aphrodisiac in Jiangnan, and wanted to regenerate the rootless birds with new flesh. Later, they didn't know which country's secret recipe was found, but in a few inches of huge birds came overnight. They scared Wei Yi to death to serve several maids around him. Later, Wei Yi reborn on Yang Wei, plundered the good wife, offered her lust and joy, and sang happily every night.
Looking at the whole book, the slander and exaggeration of Wei Yiliang ministers is extremely slandering. The whole book uses the word "descendant" throughout the whole book. What is so ruthless is that the book claims that Wei Yiliang ministers have committed adultery in the harem, and the new king of the Ming Dynasty established is not the bloodline of the Zhu family, but is actually the Wei family. It also vaguely pointed out that the three harems of Wanli, Taichang and Tianqi all involved Wei Yiliang ministers who abused the palace concubines. In addition to the concubines and unmarried princesses, the married golden branches and jade leaves were all subject to their claws. It can be said that they were extremely guilty and it is not an exaggeration to cut them into pieces.
As soon as this book was released, the world was in an uproar. All the people of kindness and upright knew that this was because the traitors of Donglin deliberately attacked and slandered Wei Gong, which was a reappearance of the evil book after Wanli.
The uncle and nephew of Wei worked hard for the court, how could he allow treacherous books to slander them? So he ordered the factory guards to investigate thoroughly. Later, Wang Dade was detained for eleven years in the case of Donglin Party members in the fifth year of Tianqi.
Six years later, Duke Wei claimed that this dynasty would not punish the crimes with words and would not convict people by writing random books. The great virtue was inherently guilty, but the crime did not last ten years. So he ordered a minister to release Wang Dade back to his hometown in advance, and ordered the local government to strictly regulate it and not to cause trouble.
Duke Wei's move was unanimously praised by the court, and everyone knew that the prime minister was not as full as Duke Wei.
The book "Legend of Wei Erdai" was listed by the court as one of the top ten banned books of the Ming Dynasty because it was too absurd and had a bad influence on Wei Gong and the royal family.
However, there are many vulgar villains in the world, and the book is described in extremely detailed in detail on men and women, which makes unscrupulous literati privately copy and peek at the court's laws and regulations. There is no way to stop it and eventually spread to the world.
However, for official historians, the book contains the most jokes.
It is said that when Mr. Wei talked about this book one day, he said, "It would be a pity for him to not go to the grove.
Those who hear about it don’t know the intention of Wei Gong, and this matter has become a mystery for the ages.
According to Wang Dade's book "The Legend of Wei Erdai", he followed his father and the rich gentry and family in Zhenjiang City to the Wei Yi head outside the city. He witnessed Wei Yi drove out the two gentry carrying thorns and sticks, and then a tiger and wolf man led the two into the city.
Hulang said, "If you have too much money in your family, you can't spend it all, so it's better to spend it with my brothers." Or, "It's useless to spend too much money in your family, so it's better to save it in Eunuch Wei's place and withdraw it with a piece of money when you need it."
Extremely ridiculous!
Lawless!
All the gentry and wealthy families were indignant. Isn’t Wei Yi’s move openly occupying other people’s wealth?
Wei Yin ignored it and only welcomed a hundred taels of gold to the headquarters, and later sent it out of the city. The onlookers could see clearly that the person who came out suddenly took a wooden sign in his hand and wrote the four words "The Family of Jishan". Then a tiger and wolf came forward, but instead of escorting, he escorting, and treating him as the God of Wealth.
It is said that "When the master's family has this card, not only will the evil and evil dare not invade, but even ghosts and gods dare not peek." Or it is said that "the master will be a friend of the Imperial Army from now on. If someone is bullied, he should inform the Imperial Army as soon as possible, and the Imperial Army will send troops to eliminate disasters for the master."
At this point, there is no way to understand and no way to understand.
Then, it is really a debt to apologize for money!
If there is no gold, there is sin. If there is no gold, there is no sin.
The government avoided it, and there was no city wall to rely on in Zhenjiang. Even if the wealthy families were rich, Wei Yan was just a child holding gold in his eyes.
Therefore, in order to protect himself, the rest of the people did not dare to hesitate when they saw this, for fear that a tiger or wolf would come to "keep it" the family's wealth, so they all offered huge sums of money and said that they had been accused of the crime from Duke Wei.
Some people reported that they offered a thousand taels of silver, but before they finished speaking, some people reported that they offered a thousand taels of silver. Without everyone's reaction, the offer of ten thousand taels had already called out.
The chaos in the scene is so ridiculous, just like an auction of something, the one who has the highest price will get it.
Wei Yan stood with his hands behind his back in the field, expressionless, just waiting for him to hear which company has set a new high, looking at the company without saying a word, and just nodded slightly, his eyes full of encouragement.
As the atmosphere became active, the rich gentry and wealthy families enthusiastically apologized for their crimes and donated silver to hit new highs. Mr. Wei's face was calm.
After hearing that a certain family was willing to offer 16,000 taels of silver to apologize, they also wanted to establish a long-term trade cooperation relationship with their father-in-law's maritime special zone. Mr. Wei was also excited and immediately wrote a letter to him, "Mr. Jia is a good person."
As the Jia family received the letter, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax instantly.
The amount of negative gold is increasing, and the highest price is the Hu family, who once offended Duke Wei.
The family said that they would like to offer 30,000 taels of silver to support their father-in-law and his troops. In addition, they are willing to set up a commercial bank in the Special Administrative Region and take the lead in organizing the establishment of the Zhenjiang Branch of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to respond to and support their father-in-law's maritime undertakings.
Mr. Wei felt that the Hu family had repentant and stopped horses, so he gave a letter to him, "Master Hu is not bad." Then he went up to everyone and held Hu Shihai's hand to encourage him, and whispered in his ears. Then he returned to the venue and said to everyone: "I always thought that the rich people in Zhenjiang City were unkind and unwilling to share the worries for His Majesty, nor did he want to work for the court. Today, I realized that the rumors were wrong... Zhenjiang is good, Zhenjiang is better!"
"Hello Eunuch Wei!"
The intelligent people in the crowd took advantage of the opportunity to shout.
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei smiled and signaled everyone not to speak. He continued, "We won't say much about polite words. Although we are an insidious minister, we are also scholars. We know that the kindness of water should be rewarded with a spring, so we cannot guarantee anything else. Anyone who actively donates money to Your Majesty's maritime cause today will be rewarded one by one when the maritime affairs are successful!"
According to statistics afterwards, Eunuch Wei planned to get 340,000 taels of silver from the rich gentry in Zhenjiang City, which was 240,000 taels more than Qiangsuo Zhenjiang Prefecture's gold price.
This made Eunuch Wei sigh, Jiangnan is rich and he is really not bullying us.
After ordering all the good people to return to the city to collect gold, my father-in-law came to the tent.
In the tent, Hu Shihai was a little nervous because he didn't know why Eunuch Wei wanted to leave him to summon him alone. He thought that he had paid 30,000 taels, and Wei Yin refused to spare him?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel even more nervous.
When my father-in-law saw this, he waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Hu, don't be nervous. Our family is looking for you alone, but there is a wealth and honor for you."
"ah?"
Hu Shihai was confused and didn't know where this wealth came from.
The father-in-law was not in a hurry and ordered the left and right to serve tea. Then he picked up the tea bowl and blew it a few times, took a sip. He looked up at Hu Shihai and said lightly: "I wonder if Mr. Hu had ever heard of the Mongolian Tiemuzhen treasure?"
When he said this, the father-in-law's face looked a little mysterious.
