The fourth chapter of the biographies of the Six Gentlemen of 1898: "The Biography of Lin Xu"

Lin Jun, whose courtesy name is Donggu, was born in Houguan County, Fujian Province and was a disciple of Mr. Nanhai. Ever since he was a child, his beauty has been outstanding, his spirit has been lost, and his genius has reached its peak, like a bamboo arrow pointing up, soaring up into the clouds. At the age of 18, he won the first place in the province in the provincial examination. Everyone was surprised to read his elegance and magnificence. Elders and famous people were all friends with Zhejie for many years, so all his friends immediately heard about him. His poetry, parallel prose and prose are all divinely taught. His writing is like that of the Han and Wei people, and his poetry is like that of the Song Dynasty. Before the cession of Liao and Taiwan, the emperor was about to take the Spring Official Examination, so he wrote angrily to refuse the peace negotiation, because his will was already strong. Then he wrote a letter to the official cabinet, Gai heard about Nanhai's learning, admired it, visited Nanhai, heard about the political purposes discussed, he was very determined, and then he took up his career.

First, the police were alerted, and the situation became urgent. Mr. Nanhai believed that boosting morale was the basis for protecting the country. He wanted to make the patriots in each province learn from each other and pay attention to each other. In the capital, he first advocated the Guangdong Society, Shu Society, Fujian Society, Zhejiang Society, Shaanxi Society, etc., and Yang Junrui was actually the leader of the Shu Society. You visited your hometown first to drum it up, and it was completed in one day. On the tenth day of the lunar month, a meeting was held at the Fujian Association Hall. All the famous scholars in Fujian gathered together, and you were actually the leader of the Fujian Society. When the National Congress was opened, you were the initiating director and the strongest advocate.

In the early days, Rong Lu was a general in Fuzhou. He was elegant and fond of Fujian people, and he was also the grandson-in-law of Duke Shen Wensu. He was very talented and famous, so Rong Po wanted to recruit him. In May, Rong arrived in Tianjin and recruited the emperor to join the shogunate. When you enter the capital, you ask for orders from the South China Sea. Can you please do so? Nanhai said: "What's the harm in doing this? If you can punish him with great righteousness, be wary of the changes of the times, calmly enlighten him in his errors, and secretly suppress his conspiracy, it will be a great good thing." So Jun Nai decided to accept the honorary appointment, and he accepted the offer. Economic Special Section. King Xifan of Huizhan Zhan recommended you to the court and summoned him in July. He ordered the general to write out the correct words and then copy them out for viewing. This is because you speak Min dialect and the superiors could not fully explain them. When you retreated to court, you wrote a memorial, saying that the narrator said it in great detail. The emperor knew that he was Kang's disciple, and because of his trust, he and Tan Jun were awarded the rank of fourth-rank minister, and joined the military to participate in the New Deal. During the ten days, many memorials were presented, and most of the edicts were drafted by the emperor.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor gave Mr. Kang a secret edict, ordering him to leave the capital as soon as possible. After receiving the secret edict, Tan Jun called out at an equal distance. At that time, Yuan Shikai was in Beijing, and he issued a secret edict, which aroused his righteous indignation. However, the emperor did not think so, so he wrote a short poem about Tan et al., saying: "What is the use of lying down and weeping blood? How can I repay the Lord's kindness with generosity? I am willing to do it for you." "Gongge is like a thousand miles of grass, but those who are strong at the beginning should not talk lightly." It refers to the story of how to advance in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When the incident occurred, they were arrested together and executed in the city on the 13th. When he was about to be executed, he called the prison officials to kill him and asked him about the crime. The officials ignored him and left, but his expression did not change slightly. He is the author of several volumes of "Wan Cuixuan Poetry Collection" and several volumes of long and short sentences and essays. His wife, Shen Jingyi, was the granddaughter of Baozhen, the Duke of Shen Wensu. When she got her reward, she cried bitterly and wished to live. She went to the capital to collect the remains. She was forbidden by her family, so she gave him medicine and died. She said: "I am one year younger in Tungu, so I will feed him as a younger brother." Tungu was good at poetry and liked to chant. Yu Gui said: "Ci poetry is a tool to entertain the soul and tune the mood. You can do it occasionally. If you take it as a career, you will lose your mind by playing with things, which is the same as being tired of sounds and colors. In this world, changes are urgent. , With your talent, how can you indulge in this? "The king immediately gave up his poetry, completely abandoned his old habits, and learned from Nanhai's principles of governance. How can it be said that doing good is better than doing evil? Rong Lu loves the Dun Valley, and he goes to the Dun Valley and pays homage to him. Once he is killed, he kills him without asking whether he is guilty or not. How can that jackal have any evil roots in love? Turning your hands becomes clouds, turning your hands becomes rain, drinking a glass of wine in the morning, and turning the sword in the evening. Although his parents and brothers still ignore him, why is he surprised! Shen Yuqing is the father-in-law of Lin Xu (one of the "Six Gentlemen of 1898"). Shortly after his eldest daughter Shen Queying married Lin Xu, Lin Xu returned to Fujian to take part in the Guisi (1893) provincial examination and won Jieyuan.

The news of Lin Xu’s death reached Fuzhou, and Shen Que should write a posthumous manuscript

"Langtaosha":

It is difficult to repay the ambition of serving the country,

Who will receive the blue blood?

The manuscripts in the box have been preserved for thousands of years.

The broken heart cannot summon the soul,

The clouds are dark at the head of the river.

Embroidered Buddha’s old makeup building,

I have retired from the throne,

What’s more, there are thousands of regrets!

There are endless tears in my eyes,

The water flows forever.

Then, write an elegiac couplet:

Who am I, and who am I? I only rely on the six rites to pass it on, causing trouble today;

I will never see you again. I’ll never see you again, but I hope I’ll be lucky enough to get married in the next life.

Subsequently, he committed suicide by taking poison.
