Gong Zizhen is a 27-year-old Ren Zhong and a 38-year-old gold master. He used to be a cabinet minister, director of Zongren House and director of Ritual Department. He advocated getting rid of bad politics and resisting foreign aggression, and once fully supported Lin Zexu to ban opium. At the age of 48, he resigned and went to the south. The following year, he died at Yunyang Academy in Danyang, Jiangsu, at the age of 49. There are many speculations about the cause of death. It is said that the painting in which he and Prince Yi's little wife were poisoned by Yi's son is known as the riddle of cloves.
Gong Zizhen died in Ding Xiang's case.
During Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, a sensational scandal broke out in Beijing, which was called Lilac Case-solving. In the case, the heroine is Gu Taiqing, the widow of King Baylor, and the hero is Gong Zizhen, a literary giant. A leisurely poem provoked a case. After some enthusiastic people's rendering, it has become fragrant and hot, and it is also fake and true. Anyway, the final result was that Princess Gu Taiqing was expelled from the palace. Since then, Gong Zizhen has a guilty conscience and left Beijing in a hurry.
The noble Manchu people in Qing Dynasty always used to bow horses as their custom. After a long period of customs and habits, they gradually accepted the influence of some extensive cultures of the Han nationality. The literary world in Qing Dynasty was in full swing, but there were few famous Manchu literati. To say that Manchu people have a place in poetry, it is generally believed that only men are, women are the great poet Tai in the Kangxi era, and Gu Taiqing is the hero of the lilac case.
Gu Taiqing, whose name is Chun and the word is Taiqing, is from Xilin, and his home is in Manchuria. Because his parents died when he was a child and he was raised by his uncle and aunt who lived in Suzhou, I took my uncle with me. My uncle is a Han scholar. Under his influence, Gu Taiqing received the education of poetry from an early age. With his talent and wisdom, his poems are novel and delicate, and he can be called the first in the literary world of Fujian Xiu in the south of the Yangtze River. Thanks to the moist mountains and green waters in the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Taiqing has a slim figure, smooth skin, watery eyes, curved arch eyebrows and a soft voice of Wu Nong. Although she is a descendant of the Eight Banners, she looks like an authentic southern beauty.
On one occasion, Baylor Wang Yi went south to Suzhou and met Gu Taiqing, who was very young, at a banquet specially hosted by local Manchu literati. Yi Hua is a child of the Eight Banners who is addicted to pen and ink. He is naturally romantic and has a good tone. He was surprised that Gu Taiqing, a Manchu girl, had a commendable poem, which was so beautiful that I couldn't help moving her heart. At this time, Mrs. Yi's first room died of illness not long ago. His trip to the south is not only to relieve his worries, but also to find new love. God let him meet Gu Taiqing with a halo here. This is a natural opportunity! Yi once painted in Suzhou and intended to associate with Gu Taiqing. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. So I decided to accept her as a side Fujin, that is, a side princess, and soon returned to Beijing with her.
Yi Hua and Gu Taiqing are not earthly people. With the superior conditions of Lord Baylor, they don't have to rush about for life at all, but they can see through the exhaustion of fame and fortune. Expressing their love for landscape poetry is the main theme of their lives. Under this kind of life is sweet's nourishment, Gu Taiqing's ci-poetry has mushroomed, and it has become a masterpiece of Kyoto literati scrambling to copy.
After such an intoxicating life for nine years, Gu Taiqing almost forgot what sadness is in the world. However, the good times are limited and the talents are enviable. Yi Hui, King of Baylor, suddenly fell ill. In less than a month, he left his beloved wife Gu Taiqing and a pair of children.
Gu Taiqing was at a loss when her husband died suddenly.
In the eighteenth year of Daoguang, after Gu Taiqing was widowed in the second year, he met a very ironic thing. After Yuan Mei, Chen Wenshu, a romantic scholar in Hangzhou, advocated famous literature and trained a group of female disciples who were interested in poetry. This year, he suddenly had good luck, and contributed to the burial of the bones of former celebrities Xiaoqing, Juxiang and Yunyou in Huxian, which caused quite a stir in the local area. To this end, his female disciples rushed to write poems in praise, and Chen Wenshu prepared to compile these poems and publish them as a book, named Lan Yin Ji. In order to improve Lan's reputation, he asked his daughter-in-law Zhou Yunlin to find his cousin, and asked Gu Taiqing, a famous literary figure at that time, for a poem to be added to the collection of poems. Wang Yunzhuang was Gu Taiqing's best friend when he was a child. She rushed to Beijing from Suzhou and asked Gu Taiqing to give her a poem. Unexpectedly, Gu Taiqing didn't care about such elegant things at all, so Jiang Yunzhuang had to go back.
However, after the publication of Blue, two books were specially sent to Gu Taiqing, and one of them, New Poetry in the Spring and Autumn Period and Ming Dynasty, which was signed by Gu Taiqing, suddenly appeared. Gu Taiqing in distress situation, feel funny, so back to Chen Wenshu's poem:
Sand transport skills are cold, and wild raccoons know how to bathe in the snow;
Yee language always sinks into a black prison, and ordinary people look at the Qing palace.
Jin zhongbai, the ranks of Bridget city, I, people have never despised this public;
Let's turn nonsense into smiles, clouds don't hinder the sun.
This poem vividly depicts the vulgar and contemptuous attitude, and Qing's beard became warped with anger after seeing this poem, but he didn't care about Qing. These things seem to have passed in a snicker and slight scolding, but I didn't. I didn't know that the seeds of disaster had been quietly planted.
With the passage of time, the shadow of her husband Gu Taiqing's death gradually faded. She began to resume her poetic contacts with China literati in Beijing, and this palace on Taiping Lake came back to life. Gong Zizhen, a famous writer of Gu Taiqing at that time, was one of them. Gong Zizhen, a native of Zhejiang, was born in a scholarly family and was brilliant. His poems are elegant and profound, and are deeply appreciated by Gu Taiqing. Gong Zizhen's love is not heartless, but turns into spring mud to protect flowers! In other words, Gu Taiqing thinks this can be a portrayal of her own life situation at this time. Her modern man was saved. Even if it turns into spring mud, it can train children well. Poetry taught her to have no regrets.
Gong Zizhen, a scholar, was promoted to the position of director of Zongrenfu after being appointed as cabinet minister. This is a leisurely location. This talented person in the south of the Yangtze River has no way to display his talents, so he has to become Gu Taiqing by poetry. This is our home. But this is where the storm started. Chen Wenshu, a Hangzhou scholar ridiculed by Gu Taiqing, arrived in Beijing at the moment and also saw this miscellaneous poem by Ji Hai. He didn't taste any artistic conception from his poems, but found some subtle treatments; Everyone agrees that Gu Taiqing, that is, Chun, is the person who dresses by default in the poem. According to this poem, he dreamed of spring in the west gate of the city. On the surface, he dreamed of lilacs. But in his bones, who knows that Gu Taiqing is not dreaming? Just after Gong Zizhen finished writing "Sea Miscellaneous Poems", there was another poem by Gui Dianqiu, which recorded the dream handed down from ancient times and said:
Beyond the bright moon, the world of mortals is clean, and Penglai is quiet and has no neighbors; The milky way water flowed through the red wall and no one was seen.
Wake up, the moonlight is thick, and the wind during the day has reached five o'clock; If you want to ask Guangming Temple in this life, you will know that Zhu Bian weighs tens of thousands.
Ha! Allen, the reflection of these moonlight trysts? Chen Wenxiang was very happy to find something precious. He skillfully linked poems about lilacs with words about dreams, and with a little annotation, he revealed the ambiguous relationship between Gong Zizhen and Gu Taiqing.
Soon, the scandal about Gu Taiqing and Gong Zizhen spread in Beijing, and people were very enthusiastic about this kind of news. Coupled with the fanning of some boring scholars, things will soon have flavor and evidence.
I-I'm not afraid of Gong Zizhen and
From the resplendent palaces to the old houses that are hard to open, and then to the unavoidable contempt and sarcasm, Gu Taiqing completely lost his confidence in life. How relaxed and happy it is to pursue the death of your husband, but when you look at your children with a pair of eyes, you can only bear the burden of humiliation and live in poverty, and you can only tell that poem with tears in your eyes:
There are several rafters in the alley, and there is no difference.
The children are crying, mourning and shaking their hearts.
If you want to die in spring, you dare not be light;
I am a bitch, but I will teach my children for you.
A fake lilac case-solving threw Gu Taiqing to the bottom of his life for no reason. Once she lost her husband and was wronged, she was desperate. She only pinned her hopes on a pair of children and worked hard to complete the mission of turning into spring mud to protect flowers.
Gradually, her heart broke away from the poor life, and she was able to cope with all hardships calmly, without ecstasy or sadness. As long as she is calm, there is no distinction between rich and poor. This state of mind is all in one of her poems.
After a lot of tempering, I realized that I have no heart and no leisure;
To find out what the real source is, all branches and leaves must be deleted.
Other statements:
One is said to have died by a powerful hand, one is said to have been poisoned by a brothel woman and Xiaoyun, and the other is said to have been killed by a killer sent by Fu Rong. In the novel "Evil Sea Flower" in the late Qing Dynasty, Gong Zizhen's son was poisoned with poisoned wine by his colleagues in the Zongfu.
Gong Zizhen, a great writer, was only 49 when he died. If he had not died, there would have been more literary works and poems handed down. What a pity that such a talented person has left forever!
