Smiling at the peach blossom fan, peach blossoms smile at the spring breeze

Gongsheng, also known as the deputy list of people, means that the local government pays tribute to the country's children and supervises the study. The difference between Gongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren: Gongsheng and Xiucai belong to the same academic qualifications, and have the qualifications to participate in the examination, but do not have the qualifications to participate in the Jinshi examination; if Xiucai is said to be a high school, Gongsheng is equivalent to a technical secondary school; Gongsheng's status is higher than that of Xiucai, and he can be an official directly, but Xiucai is not; to become a lifter, he needs to participate in the national examination, and Gongsheng is recommended by the local government, which is equivalent to escorting. In other words, Gongsheng's academic qualifications are equivalent to opening a small opening outside the unified examination system between Xiucai and Juren. There is a certain amount of water and room for maneuver to become a tribute student, but local officials and higher-level approved officials rarely risk their own future for small profits, so most of the people who can be selected as tribute students have two brushes, or even better than many of them.

Some people think that Wu Yingji is very angry about the 50-year-old airborne tribute scholar's academic qualifications, and that this academic qualification does not match his talent, which is an insult; some people think that Wu Yingji is very sad, and this love came too late, which is more heartbreaking than without; some people think that Wu Yingji is very bland, and this consolation prize he has exchanged for persistence, and there is no merit and hard work, so there is no need to over-interpret it; some people think that Wu Yingji is more satisfied, no matter how small a fly is, it is meat, and it is better than nothing.

No matter what Wu Yingji thought at the time, he stopped and never took the exam again, and the local government was also quiet, and he was not afraid of being beaten again.

According to the analysis of later generations, Wu Yingji should be very grateful to the imperial court. When a person reaches fifty, he no longer fights for anything, he takes a step back, and his mind suddenly opens up, and he now thinks about things that he couldn't think of before. Looking back on the first half of his life, he finally dared to face his own shortcomings - too Geng, lost in open-mindedness, lost in open-mindedness, and lost in moderation. In the past, he always picked on the thorns of the imperial court, and resisted the imperial court hard, slandered and cursed the imperial court in various ways, and the standard image of the indignant youth and hated the national party. Not only did the court not clean him up, but instead gave him a future with virtue - the late future is also the future, just talking about this, the court not only did not feel sorry for him, but had a great favor to him.

This conclusion is not unreasonable, judging from the later development of events, Wu Yingji has no opinion on the Ming Dynasty, when the Qing people entered the customs, he did not surrender, nor did he retreat, but with a grateful heart decided to martyrdom, even if the court ruined his life, only the Ming still has a trace of kindness to him, he is still willing to repay with death. After the Qing people entered the customs, Wu Yingji led the whole family to join the army to resist the Qing Dynasty, almost all of the 100 people died, and he himself was captured in a battle, which is the third characteristic of Wu Yingji that we want to talk about: warriors, martyrs and saints.

After capturing Wu Yingji alive, the commander of the Qing soldiers was in a good mood, won the battle and captured the small leader of the opposition alive, and the promotion pointed out that it was okay, looking at Wu Yingji was like looking at a mascot. In order to show his love for the mascot, the commander of the Qing army showed the tolerance and generosity of the victor, saying that he was unwilling to kill again, nor did he want to make it difficult for others, and was willing to give Wu Yingji a chance to choose: or die, or surrender, and even let Wu Yingji go back and let him regroup and fight again.

In fact, Wu Yingji no longer has the need to choose, and death is his only option. Over the years, he has been impassioned, hard work, dismal management, and has made every effort and family fortune to pull up a team, I thought that I could keep a trace of incense for Daming, even if I could exchange it for a moment of Daming's reluctance to breathe, I didn't expect that my efforts in the face of the Qing soldiers and the general trend turned out to be a mantis arm blocking the car, as vulnerable as grass and paper, and it turned into nothing in a blink of an eye. At this time, he finally understood that firm belief and nothing helped, surging patriotic enthusiasm can only fool himself, justice and morality will not bring peace and victory, the occupation of the Central Plains by the Qing army is an unstoppable torrent of history, it is no longer possible for the Ming Dynasty to turn over, and the anti-Qing restoration of Ming can only be a dream, and it is useless to start all over again, so that more people can continue to sacrifice meaninglessly.

It doesn't matter if the mountains and rivers are broken, the dreams are broken, there are losses and wins in the war, we are not people who can't afford to lose, and the skills are not as good as the people who lose. What's more, we haven't never lost, we haven't been admitted to the lifting of people in our lives, and we haven't even said anything because of the government's charity! How can a big husband be greedy for life and afraid of death, what joy is there in life, and what is there to be afraid of death?

What really made Wu Yingji unacceptable was to see his relatives and comrades-in-arms die tragically one by one. These are loyal ministers and righteous men, and with their knowledge, character and ability, they can live a better life in the new dynasty and live a peaceful and prosperous life. However, these people listened to his call or fooled, established the belief of victory, mustered up the courage to resist, happily used their own heavenly spirit cover to hit the mace of the people, and went to death calmly and righteously, it can be said that these people were killed by him. Although his uncle also cheated him when he was a child, he at least achieved his literary name, and now he has killed too many relatives, comrades-in-arms, and subordinates. These people may not blame him, but Wu Yingji himself blames himself, it is his obsession and stubbornness that killed everyone, and now he is awake with his eyes closed and dreaming that it is all these people, and his vivid faces suddenly fell down one by one in front of the Qing people's iron horse, turning into a cold corpse, including his three-year-old granddaughter. Wu Yingji can be patriotic, noble, and sacrifice his life for the country, but he is not qualified to ask others to be noble, and he is not qualified to ask others to eat his melons.

The

country is gone, the future is gone, the ideals are gone, the relatives and friends are gone, and the meaning of struggle is gone, Wu Yingji has lost the meaning of living in this world, life is worse than death, and his heart is like ashes, and death at this time is no longer terrible, but a huge temptation to be completely liberated, not to mention that everyone is dead, what face does he have to live? So when the commander of the Qing army came up with a multiple-choice question, he did not hesitate to say to the commander of the Qing army: "It is impossible to surrender, and it is impossible to surrender in this life." You must not let me go, let me go, I won't leave, I have long been bored, if you let me go now, I will commit suicide for a while, and I don't have to trouble others anymore, just you and I are happy. Dying in the city is not good in feng shui, please allow me to choose a place for myself. "

The

commander of the Qing army agreed, and according to Wu Yingji's request, he went to a hill outside the city.

Wu Yingji is an all-rounder, not only knows the Five Classics and Four Books, but also understands Feng Shui Horoscope, Yangyang Bagua, and Qimen Dunjia. Out of strong guilt for his descendants, he decided to compensate on the tomb, while walking while using his feng shui knowledge to observe the trend of the mountains and rivers in the crypt dragon vein, according to the principle of ten no burial, ten no direction for selection, and finally picked a place to lean back and forth, left and right, green dragon and white tiger protection, can shade the descendants of the dragon vein auspicious cave feng shui treasure as his own place of death, let the Qing people do it here and bury it on the spot.

Before the executioner made his hand, Wu Yingji put forward two demands: First, he told the executioner that celebrities like him should not die at the hands of grassroots fighters, and that the person in charge of the execution should be at least a cadre at or above the regimental level in a famous county, and asked the other party to replace him. The second is to wear a hat to be punished, because the hat represents his identity as an official of the Ming Dynasty, which is convenient for the first person to quickly recognize as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty according to the system of his hat after arriving in another parallel world.

People who are going to die have to be entangled in the details, it can be seen that on the one hand, there is a deep attachment to this world, on the other hand, there is a deep sorrow for the Ming Dynasty, and people who have never died generally cannot understand what the dying person thinks.

Wu Yingji died, but his experience of becoming a saint warrior had just begun: first, after the Qing soldiers cut off his head, he hung it on the city wall, and used it as a negative teaching material to educate the people to oppose the imperial court. Unexpectedly, Wu Yingji's head "entered Guomen as if it was alive, and it remained unchanged for three days". The second is that the legend of the punishment is still bloodstained, and the wind and sun have not changed. Third, a few years later, the two emperors of Shunzhi and Qianlong opened their brains, and they took time out of their busy schedules to overturn the case of Wu Yingqi, who had been dead for many years, and posthumously recognized Wu Yingji as a martyr, repaired temples and tombs for him, and burned money to add soil. This matter is very interesting, the ancestors killed people and later generations will recognize it, first when this and then that, this brain circuit is really evil, the specific reasons will be discussed later.

Summing up Wu Yingji's life, it is basically a tragedy, except for a series of literary works that are not very famous, he has not been very brilliant, but this does not detract from the fact that he is a man and a righteous man who is willing to give his life for his ideals. Wu Yingji's shining point is not in his life, but in his death, he doesn't owe Da Ming anything, and even Da Ming still owes him, he doesn't need to bury Da Ming who will die, and the Qing people also gave other choices, but he looks for death himself and uses his life to practice his values.

Wu Yingji's story ends, and according to the convention, a poem is used to forcibly elevate the theme:

The nature of things has always been one family, who is greedy and thin, and hates Yanhua.

Chrysanthemums choose their own wind and frost country, not chrysanthemums outside the spring.

When it comes to Wu Yingji, there is a revolutionary martyr who has to be mentioned - Qiu Qiubai. Qu Qiubai and Wu Yingji were almost the same, facing the executioner who was about to be executed, he very calmly chose a cemetery for himself, said "This place is very good", and then calmly took justice and died generously. His short life left a rare poem in modern times to future generations: "The sky is cold and the wine is in Chang'an City, and the plum blossoms are still drunk and sleeping", "I am the first swallow in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am on the clouds for the spring".
