What are some “divine replies” in Chinese history?

“The green mountains are fortunate enough to bury loyal bones, and the innocent white iron casts sycophants.” The first part of this poem talks about Yue Fei, and the second part talks about Qin Hui and his wife. For those of you who are deeply impressed by the textbook, there is no need for me to elaborate on the background of this poem. In fact, even though Qin Hui has been infamous for all eternity, he still has descendants named Qin Congshi.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Qin Hui had a descendant who was an official in the court. He himself knew the affairs of his ancestors, but outsiders knew very little. One year, Qianlong learned about this matter. Qianlong summoned him alone, and our Master Qin was summoned with trepidation. Things about his ancestors were something that weighed heavily on his heart. Entering the palace, the atmosphere was really tense, and Qianlong looked not right. Master Qin became even more nervous and sweating profusely. The emperor asked him about his official history, which year he was a Jinshi, whose disciple he was, how many years he had worked in which department, etc. The more this happens, the more nervous Master Qin becomes. It was not until the end that Qianlong asked: Are you a descendant of Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty? "Your Majesty!" Mr. Qin, who was already very old, suddenly collapsed emotionally. He knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "Once the emperor, once again the courtiers." This scene suddenly came to the palace, and Qianlong was shocked by these words. It seemed that the reaction was different from what he originally expected, and it was so profound and straightforward. Once the emperor and his ministers were replaced by one leader, the leadership team must also change. But in Mr. Qin's case, he used this sentence to bring the pairing of Song Gaozong and Qin Hui into the topic in Chinese history. The foolish king and the sycophantic minister, of course, appear organically and unite, and they are cause and effect for each other.

If the emperor is wise, logically speaking, there will be no soil for the growth of sycophants. On the other hand, if there are sycophants, it must mean that the emperor is a coward. Not only did he tie up Song Gaozong and Qin Hui into the topic, he also brought Qianlong and himself into the topic, making a confrontational comparison with the former. The core of the logic is: the emperor and his ministers all appeared in pairs, and Song Gaozong's mediocrity and Qin Hui's treacherousness were cause and effect for each other. appear, and your sage will inevitably appear with my virtue in cause and effect. You cannot, in order to show your hatred and sageness, label me as a treacherous person and punish me for my family tradition has not changed. We are all organically unified. The more Q version can also be understood as: Qin Hui came out because there was a mediocre Song Gaozong, and under your wise leadership, I must be virtuous. Under such circumstances, if you were Qianlong, you could not touch Master Qin. Although you have the propaganda needs of advocating loyal and good rulers, you cannot satisfy the propaganda needs by defeating the sycophants. It can be said from this that Qin’s reply is a well-deserved divine reply in Chinese history. After all, the logic core is too hard. Of course, it is not acceptable to be smooth-talking and mediocre in life. After the ancestor of Qin Dynasty became widely known, everyone began to recall what this person was like. His previous life journey was almost immediately put under the spotlight and criticized by everyone. There is a modern saying, I have forgotten the original words, but it probably means: You don’t have to be so tired when performing, no one will see you pretending. The meaning seems to be to ridicule people who put on special clothes. That's right, you don't need to be too pretentious as a person. If you are sure that there is no chance that someone will dig out your past comments in your life, you can feel free to not pretend.

However, if you know that one day you will be dug out and chewed on by others because of your high reputation, you will pay very careful attention to your words and deeds, for fear that it will be exposed in the future. What trouble does it bring to myself. Master Qin is in the latter state. Although few outsiders knew about their family's ancestry when he was young, their family members must have made it clear to their children that other people's families could have some moral flaws, and that was okay with them. But as descendants of Qin Hui, we have no room for any moral flaws. The history of our ancestors will magnify even the slightest moral flaws in us countless times. People will say that indeed Qin Hui's descendants are not good people, so they must pay more attention to their words and deeds than ordinary people. So, what will be the result of everyone recalling and criticizing Master Qin's past? The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked to find that this man was always unknown, but in terms of morality, he could almost be described as perfect. Everyone pieced together what they thought of Master Qin and their respective interactions with Master Qin. Discovery: He has always been such a morally perfect person. He does not say that he is like this in front of this person and that in front of that person. He has a highly unified moral personality. Everyone wrote memorials to Qianlong to congratulate him: The emperor is a wise and great man, and Qin Hui's descendants will become blameless virtuous people under your rule.

What a prosperous time! What a prosperous time! Of course Qianlong was very happy to be flattered by this flattery, and he gave Master Qin many honors, confirming his wisdom and greatness. It can be said that Master Qin at this time has just completed half of the torturous journey in his life. Have you ever thought about how many nightmares he must have experienced before he cried out the words "One emperor, one courtier"? The emperor suddenly found out that he was a descendant of Qin Hui, and immediately confiscated his family and exterminated his clan if he didn't listen... He woke up shouting "Ah", it turned out to be a dream. He accidentally offended someone, and that person suddenly made a false accusation against him. The emperor combined the false accusation with Zu Su and looked at him coldly. He wanted to speak but couldn't. Suddenly he woke up and found another nightmare... He might be in the nightmare. , in my worries, I have thought countless times about how to answer the question if that day comes. If you finally determine that this logical core is very hard, prepare it in your heart. And it did come in handy in the end, and he and his family have not finished the journey of paying close attention to their words and deeds. This road has no end, just because their ancestor is Qin Hui. "One emperor, one courtier" is certainly a divine reply, but without his own self-requirements for decades, it is estimated that he would not be able to achieve that effect.
