First, Cao Jia's property acquisition skills.
Yongzheng Dynasty was performed in Cao Fu, Jiangning, and the background of the play was as follows: Yong Zhengdi was worried about the emptiness of the national treasury and was unable to pay the military expenses for the counter-insurgency in northwest Nian Gengyao. Speaking of local officials' arrears to the official bank, a minister said: Cao Fu, nephew of Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin, and Xu Li of Suzhou Weaving Company owed millions to the official bank, and Yongzheng immediately ordered the confiscation of property. As soon as the camera turned, the gate of Cao Fucheng was wide open, and wei li, the governor of Jiangsu Province, led a large group of soldiers to peak sexually, even copying and occupying. A teenager hiding in the arms of an old lady was terrified out of her wits.
This is a joke. The historical truth is not like this. On the first day of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng, a letter was issued to investigate the deficit. The purpose is to reverse the problem of official corruption in the last years of Kangxi. The Li family in Cao Jiahe did not default on the official bank, and the time was not in the northwest of Nian Gengyao. In the past, the red circle generally believed that Cao's deficit was due to the problem of driving. Emperor Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River six times, lived in Jiangning Weaving House four times, once for Cao and three times for, which led to a large deficit in Jiangning Weaving House, because in A Dream of Red Mansions, "it was just earned on the emperor with the money of royalty." Emperor Kangxi took great care of the Cao family, especially Cao Yin himself, and the Cao family was re-elected as Jiangning Weaving for three generations. Cao Yin was seriously ill, and the special envoy of Kangxi imperial edict sent the Cinchona cream. After Cao Yong's death, Cao Yinben had no children, so he ordered Cao Fu, the adopted son of the same clan, to succeed him in weaving. Cao Yin's in-laws Xu Li made a taboo in the memorial, and Kangxi replied with a playful pen, showing the trust and preference of the two families. Therefore, the Cao family flourished in the Kangxi Dynasty, and the Weaving Institute was an institution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with no official position. The Cao family's deficit has a long history and is of great significance. It has already buried the hidden danger of property theft. In the forty-ninth year of Kangxi (17 10), Kangxi Zhu criticized the memorial: "There are many disadvantages of Huai and Huai, and we must try our best to make up for them. We can't do anything during our term of office and we can't neglect them. Be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful! " Fifty years (17 1 1), Zhu Pi said: "There are too many deficits, which is very pertinent. Be very careful. We don't know what will happen in the future. Don't underestimate it. " In July of fifty-one years (17 12), Cao Yin fell ill.
After the death of Kangxi, in the second year of Yongzheng, Jiangning Weaving Institute was raided, and Cao Fu's family was escorted back to Beijing, wearing a sin cangue. Later, it was performed by Sui Hede, and the seven and a half houses in the mouth of garlic market in Caojiadu City were not investigated thoroughly. After four years of Qianlong, Cao Jia was involved in Hong Qing's inverse case, which seemed to be completely raided. (Cao Xueqin, Kangxi? Born in Jiangning Weaving House in the south of the Yangtze River in, when Cao Yin and Cao Yong died, Cao Fu ordered Cao Cao to take over Cao Yin and gave birth to Cao Xueqin. His brother-in-law Cao Xuan still stayed here, which was not included in Cao Yin's genealogy. There is no Cao Zhan's name in the two sets of Cao Shi genealogy, because he has been executed, so the genealogy series ends here. Cao Xuan's lineage, that is, Cao Fu's lineage, no longer retains its name, because Cao Fu has adopted it, and Cao Zhan's name cannot be accepted. ) The following is the whole story of Yong Zhengdi's deficit investigation:
According to Records of the Qing Sejong, on the first day of the first month of Yongzheng, the imperial edict 1 1 was issued in hall of mental cultivation, and the deficit was traced from the governor to the magistrate of a county (Volume III of Records of the Qing Sejong), and a special institution, the Examination Bureau, was established, presided over by Qin Yi Wang Yunxiang. Proceeding from the facts, the Ministry's national treasury was in deficit of more than 2.5 million taels, and Yong Zhengdi ordered the successive officials of the Ministry to compensate1500,000 taels, and another1000,000 taels instructed the Ministry to make up for it over the years. During the inventory, the tenth and fifteenth sons of Emperor Kangxi were suspected of losing money, and Yongzheng ordered the sale or confiscation of their property for compensation (Volume 26 of A Record of Sejong in Qing Dynasty). Check the local deficit, order the responsible officials to be dismissed, and confiscate the property to make up for the losses. A corrupt official may not stay in his original post to make up for the losses by stages. Corrupt officials who commit suicide are compensated by their children's families. In the fourth year of Yongzheng, a supervisory suggestion was set up in the interior office to supervise the affairs of the seven divisions and three hospitals under the jurisdiction of the interior office.
The key point here is that behind 1, Kangxi knew that the deficit would be bad for Cao Cao. He repeatedly reminded Cao Yin and his in-laws Xu Li (the deficit of the two governments was quite large because of the southern tour), and Cao Yin himself should be well aware of it, so he often issued the sentence "The tree fell apart" before his death. 2. At the beginning of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he took the power of the whole country to thoroughly investigate this matter. Not only for Cao and Li, it took almost two years from the imperial edict to Cao's death. The thirteen sons of Kangxi presided over this work. The following quotes the words of Prince Yi in the Biography of Sejong in the Qing Dynasty and the entries of Prince Yi in Biography of Kings to prove whether the relationship between Prince Yi and Cao family is close and the origin of the stone story.
Second, the auspicious ability of Prince Yixian.
(A), the Qing Dynasty "Biography of Sejong"
The Chronicle of Sejong in the Qing Dynasty contains the following words about Prince Yi: In December of the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Ren Xu was appointed as Prince Yi, and in the summer and April of the first year of Yongzheng, Chen Bing appointed Prince Yi as the Prime Minister's House of An Lushan, and named his son Hongchang as Beizi. In March of the third year of Yongzheng, the Prime Minister of Syria, King Andrew, and Prince En gave him a son as the county king. In May of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Xin Wei, Prince Enwang, paid tribute to him, and he was entitled to the ancestral temple. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Prince Yixian will be mourned again. Zhao Yue: "My brother's name was taken by the Imperial Examination. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Chen asked to change his last words and clarify his mother, which he barely did. Today, Prince Yi has died, and the name of the king is still in the original words. I miss him. "Xin Mao, the prince of honesty, attended the funeral of the prince of Yixian, went out early and returned late, and handed it over to Zong Renfu for discussion. Therefore, please delete the title and amend the law. Get the imperial edict, behead and detain. 19 1 1 In August, Yixian was ordered to personally seal Prince Xiao Hong, and Hongban did not seal the county king. "
(2) Biography of Kings, a historical manuscript of the Qing Dynasty
The entry of Prince Yi in the Biography of Kings records the life of King Yi and his descendant Mianyou: Prince Yixian Yunxiang, the thirteenth son of the sage. In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, Shangling. Naturally, there are patrols, and we must follow them. 196 1 year, Sejong ascended the throne and was made Prince of Iraq. Beg the life of the prime minister. In the first year of Yongzheng, the Prime Minister was appointed as the Ministry. In November, the imperial edict said, "The prince of Yi was respectful and honest in the imperial examination, and his family was surrounded by four walls, which was well known throughout the country. Since I became emperor of the empire, I have worn it wholeheartedly and tried my best to be a minister and brother. In the past, brothers were enfeoffed, and each got 232,000 yuan. I gave it this example, I talked a lot, I announced it four times, and only received130,000; After the aid of the prince, the official service was six years, and the king resigned. What is required is not allowed or allowed today; When I allowed him to ask, I felt uneasy. I can't compare with my brother, but I am really a relative of my country. " Under the discussion of Wang. In this case, let the king please, and order all the assistants and leaders in charge of the king's house to be first-class, second-class four-member, third-class twelve-member, leopard-tail guns and long knives. Each assistant and leader has added two families to the pro-army and is under intensive care. The following year, Yun Xiang asked for the addition of three treasurers and three ambassadors.
Three years in February, three years in prison. The Prime Minister Wang was cautious and honest, and discussed the matter from the superior, and the county king was reinstated, and Wang was the middle finger of all the people. In August, the salary was increased by 1 ten thousand yuan. Both capital city depends on water and is ordered to survey. In December, Prime Minister Gyeonggi was ordered to control water. Comment: "Zhili and Wenhe River meet eastward. Below Cang Jing, Hechun River, Hedian River, Ziya River and Yongding River all meet in Zhigu, Tianjin. The river is shallow and blocked, and the air is crisp in autumn, which is bound to overflow. Please dredge the old roads of Brick River in Cangzhou and Jixing River in Qingxian County, and build dams to reduce flood. And open a straight river at the entrance of Baitangkou to make Brick River and Jixinghe return to Baitangkou to go to sea; In addition, the east and west lakes are open, and many rivers are connected, and the ditch is four; Zhao Bei and Yuanjia are still sparse to prevent conflicts. Ziya River is a torrent, which is the downstream of Zhangshui River. Under it, Qinghe River, Jiahe River and Yuehe River tend to settle, so it is advisable to note them separately to slow down their uncontrolled trend. The old road of Yongding River has been lost, so it should be returned with six arts water and discharged year by year. Turbid water should not be a disaster. The mouth is slightly north, and it enters the lake around the northeast of Wangqingtuo to Sanjiaodian, and agricultural specialists are set up for Luanhe, Tianjin, Jingnanwen, Ba, Renqiu, and Xiongzhou counties to raise agricultural species. " In February of four years, it was said that Zhili was building water conservancy projects. Please divide the river course into four bureaus, and discuss with the government, industry and commerce, and discuss the South Canal, Ziya River below Zangjiaqiao and Hedian River east of Yuanjiakou into one bureau, so that Tianjin Road can lead it. Hutang in the west of Yuanjiakou and the river in the south of Jilin are a chess game, and Daming Road is changed to Qinghe Road. Yongding river is a game, and Yongding branch is diverted; The North Canal is a bureau, with the division removed and led by the tunnel: it is placed under the jurisdiction of specialized officials. Seek and life is divided into JD.COM, Jingxi water conservancy ambassador each one. In March, Chen Jingdong's water affairs were lifted. In May, Chen Jifu was relieved of southwest water conservancy affairs. All these are discussed in the second half.
In July, I gave Yushu a list of "loyalty, sincerity, diligence, prudence and honesty", which read: "Prince Yi is loyal to me, but he is selfless and takes his country as his home. I know Wang De very well. I don't think this character is too much. Many courtiers are loyal, diligent and cautious. If they are sincere and honest, they can't easily promise. I am looking forward to it. " In June, 2007, he was ordered to deal with two military aircraft in the northwest. In October, life doubles. 1 1 month, Wang is ill. In May of eight years, he was ill and went to see him in person. When he arrived, Wang was in mourning and suspended for three days. The next day, he went to the altar to offer wine, saying, "Prince Yi died, his heart was broken, his diet was tasteless, and he was restless. The king served me for eight years. There has never been a good king in this country since ancient times, so I will treat the king outside the convention. Now you wear plain clothes in January, and ministers always wear them, so you don't have to go to dinner. " As the days passed, the more imperial edict was issued, the better the merit of the prince was, and he was ordered to add the word "Yin" to his name, enjoy the ancestral temple and praise the sage, and add the words "loyalty, sincerity, diligence, prudence and sincerity" to his eulogy. Baijiatuo and other villagers 13 asked to build a shrine and allowed it. Allocate more than 30 hectares of official land to sacrificial fields, free of rent and tax. Life is more fixed on the system of sleeping in the park, watching routines. Life is not buried, the month has been given; Xiaoxiang and mourning, depending on the big ceremony; Three years later,/kloc died at the age of 0/8. Gordon, it won't happen again. In the middle of Qianlong period, he paid homage to Wang Xian Temple in Shengjing. Let the baron inherit.
Xiao Hong, attack. Forty-three years of Qianlong. Zi yonglang, attack. Jiaqing four years, I pay tribute to you. Sun Yixun, attack. Twenty-three years, you, Shi Yue Ke. The son is in the square, attack. Next year, you. Brother Zai Yuan, attack. Xuanzong, life in the imperial minister. Xianfeng eight years, to the Forbidden City shoulder? The former minister left and was taken care of. After the literati ascended the throne, they left Zong Zheng and Zong Ling and brought Shi Yu.
Zai Yuan, Zheng Wang Duanhua and Duanhua's younger brother Su Shun all depend on each other, and their power is increasing day by day. In nine years, he was sent to Tianjin to inspect coastal defense. In the first month of the tenth year, longevity day, apricot yellow end cover was given. In July, British and French soldiers arrived in Tianjin and ordered Murong, the minister of the Ministry of War, to take an imperial envoy to Tongzhou to make peace with Britain. Gui Liang, who was still a college student at that time, decided in Tianjin that Xu Ying would let Elgin go to Tongzhou to sign a contract, and asked the British envoy Elgin to enter Beijing to submit his credentials in person, but he was not allowed. After the soldiers advanced, the peace talks failed, and Zai Yuan was an imperial envoy. A few days later, I was on my way to Jehol. And agreed, I asked for my capital back, and I hesitated. Eleven years in July, Mu Zong acceded to the throne after the collapse of literate admired, and Zai Yuan assisted the testamentary edict. And, Jing Shou, and Ministry of War ministers Mu Xun, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, Jiao Youying are also called "the political king of Zanxiang" and are good at politics. In September, at the funeral of Emperor Wenzong, he returned to the capital and wrote a letter to Zai Yuan and others. And seized the position of knight. According to the new treatment, the king discussed the death penalty with him and committed suicide. This story is described in detail in Biography of Su Shun. The title was reduced to no more than eight points and was ordered not to be inherited by future generations and brothers. In the first year of Tongzhi, the four descendants of Zhuang Yunlu carried Thailand, attacked and conquered the Lord protector, and got a letter. In July of three years, Shi Ke left Jiangning and returned to the Baron. In September, Sun Zhen, King Hong IV of Yining County, visited the Prince of Iraq and wrote a letter. In the sixteenth year of Guangxu, he lost his title in order to be exonerated first. What happened to my little brother. Son Putin, heir. Twenty-six years in August. In September, a vertical Pyrenees fist bandit attacked Yu Jiaqi.
At the beginning of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he was given a detailed post. After his death, he was still given extremely high political treatment, and his original name was restored anonymously. Prince Cheng was punished immediately because he died without a sad expression. It can be seen that Yongzheng trusts this younger brother very much. A thorough investigation of the deficit is similar to the current central audit. Only in this way can extremely loyal and capable people be entrusted to change the law and carry it through to the end. There are two proofs from the two paragraphs in the Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty: First, Yun Hao did not join the Prince and the May Party at the end of Kangxi, but he had a good personal relationship with Prince Yong at that time. Second, I am not weak, and I can be impartial in dealing with people. Without these two reasons, even if you are not retaliated by Yongzheng, you can't receive heavy responsibilities many times, and you can't enjoy so many extraordinary treatments behind you.
Third, the relationship between Prince Yi and Cao Jia.
In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), Cao Fu wrote a reply: "I am safe. Instruct you to tell your story to Prince Yi, and do everything according to the instructions of the Prince. If you do nothing wrong, the prince will take care of you; If you are illegal, who can't be blessed with you? Don't run around and waste your energy buying trouble. You don't have to ask another person to drag yourself down except wangyi. Why not do something convenient and beneficial and do something troublesome and harmful? Because you have been used to the custom of being an asshole, I'm afraid people will accuse me of hitting you. If you don't understand, you will misunderstand me, so I tell you. If someone threatens to cheat you, you might as well ask Prince Yi. Prince Kuang is very sorry for you, so I will give you to the prince. Make up your mind and be less chaotic. If you ruin my reputation, I will be severely punished and the prince can't save you. "
This is Yongzheng's instructions on how to inquire after Cao Fu on the memorial. At that time, Cao Fu had apologized and returned to Beijing from Nanjing. She and Cao Yin's wife, Mrs. Li, live in seventeen and a half houses in the mouth of the garlic market outside Chongwenmen, with three pairs of domestic slaves. It can be seen from Yongzheng's royal approval: 1, the Cao family was affected, and the aftermath was taken care of by Prince Yi. 2. Yongzheng has no evidence that Cao Fu violated the law, otherwise the word "if" would not have been said. 3. Cao Fu once entrusted other officials to plead with the emperor, so Yongzheng said not to run around and buy disasters. Prince Yi seems to have a good personal relationship, and he has something to hide.
The above four points, especially the fourth point, have always been considered by redologists to be the excellent relationship between the foreign prince and Cao Cao, so they have not been reopened, and because the words "Ji" and "Xiao" are taboo in the manuscript of "Stone", it is concluded that Ji Mao was originally a foreign man. Here, we can examine the approval of the royal family of Yong Zhengdi in detail.
Judging from the historical materials quoted in Records of Sejong and Draft of Qing History, Yong Zhengdi wrote a letter to investigate the deficit at the beginning of his accession to the throne for three reasons: First, the struggle for the throne in Kangxi's later years, the conflict between brother and sister was heavy, and the situation suddenly changed. As an unpopular Yin Zhen, he must have accumulated a large number of enemies and political opponents, so he must find a reason to eliminate dissidents and lay the foundation for his own administration, which is why he must find out the deficit; Second, to change the throne, the rulers must also arrange cronies in the new regime, such as Nian Gengyao and Roncodo. In charge of the military power and political power of the new dynasty, who will be in charge of the economic lifeline? The emperor chose the thirteenth brother, and before the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, he was named Prince Yi. In April of the first year of Yongzheng, he ordered a pro-foreigner to manage the Ministry of Housing and appointed general manager office to investigate the country's deficit. Cao Fu returned to Beijing to plead guilty, because more than one person fell. The existing historical data can't prove that only Cao Fu received special care from wangyi. If so, why did Sui Hede play the role of temporary housing and slaves for the Cao family? Besides, if there is wangyi's protection, why should Cao Fu entrust others? The biographies of kings can prove that Yongzheng wangyi was full of love for this younger brother all his life, and Cao Cao did not rebel. Wangyi should take care of this. Judging from the royal approval, Cao Fu didn't beg or beg wangyi, but wangyi didn't intercede for him. Either way, it can be proved that there is not much friendship between wangyi and Cao Fu. Third, "The prince is in pain and pity you" is just Yongzheng's mind, but wangyi has a kind heart (otherwise Yongzheng will not treat his life well) and Cao Fu is not alone, but some inside information must be known only by wangyi, and only wangyi can correctly guide the direction of things. Therefore, the emperor hoped that Cao Fu, including all those who were guilty of sin, could only "ruin my reputation" by doing what wangyi meant, while others would only "coerce and seduce".
The facts are clear. Yongzheng Royal Group did not point out that Iraq had sheltered. On the contrary, it proves that Cao Cao has no personal relationship with Wang Fu. Cao Fu confessed to wangyi, and this report has nothing to do with Cao Fu.
Fourthly, the source of Bazaar Book was researched.
"1975, Comrade Wang Hongjun of the Museum of History gave Comrade Wu Enyu three volumes and two and a half volumes of" The Story of the Stone "which he had collected for the museum earlier for appraisal. After his research, he thought it might be the missing part of his own manuscript. He also found that there was a taboo word "Xiang" on this copy, so he suspected that it might be the prince's taboo. He told me this idea and asked me to check the original edition in Beijing Library. In the process of checking, I found many missing pens in the word "Xiang" Later, I borrowed the original edition of Yi Fu Bibliography, that is, the Bibliography of Qin Yi Wang Mi Library, with seals such as "Treasure of Prince Yi", "Appreciation of Zhaizhen in Northeast China" and "Painting and Calligraphy Seal of Zhailan in Northeast wangyi". This transcript bibliography also has taboos. Later, Comrade Wu Enyu discovered that three and two and a half copies of The Story of the Stone also contained auspicious taboos. In this way, we have determined that this copy of The Story of the Stone is indeed the missing part of Jimao's copy, and further confirmed that Jimao is the copy of Qin Yi Wang Fu, and the person who presided over the copying and collection of this book should be Prince Xiao Yi. This is an important discovery in the edition history of A Dream of Red Mansions. The founder of this discovery is Mr. Wu Enyu. " This is Mr. Feng Qiyong's admission that Ji Mao's works originated from The Book of Changes. In fact, this cannot be a final conclusion. First, if the codex entered the palace for the special relationship between Cao Jiahe and wangyi, the codex would not avoid the taboo of wangyi's two generations. Second, it is very likely that the manuscript of The Queen of Yi is Ji Mao's, which avoids the taboos of two generations. Then this manuscript cannot prove the relationship between Cao Jiahe's Fu, nor can it prove that a manuscript of Ji Mao is from Fu, because Fu recorded the manuscript earlier.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion
1, Qin Yi Wang Yunxiang is responsible for thoroughly investigating the national deficit. His behavior is to eliminate political enemies according to Yongzheng's intention, so it is of no special significance for Cao Fu to ask about this matter.
2. When the Cao family was in trouble, Prince Yi did not have special shelter. In the past, in order to prove the discovery that he avoided, Redology wanted to connect the two.
It seems that the book came from Wang Fu, but whether it was ordered by Wang Yi or copied from Wang Fu can't be proved. At best, it was recorded by Wang Yi, because it can come from any time before Zai Yuan in the first year of Tongzhi.
