What is the identity of Fish Niang who assassinated Yong Zhengdi?
According to official records, he died of a sudden illness. As first-hand information, it is recorded in the daily registration as follows: "On August 2 1 day, I went up and down Henan, and it was still open as usual. Number 22, up and down. Prince Zi Bao and Prince He stayed with him all day. At that time (7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm), the emperor was seriously ill, and he hurriedly issued testamentary edicts to the king, ministers and university students in his bedroom. Yulong's guests arrived at noon on 23rd (from 1 p.m. to1p.m. the next morning). The college students read the imperial edict, and the prince guaranteed it. " But the story of Yongzheng's assassination was circulated among the people. For example, the history of the Qing dynasty, the legacy of the Qing dynasty, the thirteen dynasties of the Qing dynasty and so on. It is recorded that Lv Liuliang's granddaughter Lv Siniang assassinated the emperor. Lv Liuliang literary inquisition took place in the sixth year of Yongzheng. In December of ten years, Liu Liang and Bao Zhong were executed. His relatives were also severely dealt with. His other son, Yi Zhong, was beheaded and his grandson was sent to extreme places to be slaves. Legend has it that Siniang sneaked into the palace as a maid-in-waiting to serve the emperor, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. There is also a legend that Siniang fled to other places after the Lu case, practiced a kung fu to sneak into the palace and cut off the head of the Qing emperor with a flying sword. It is said that besides Siniang, there is also a woman named Yu Niang as a helper. Even cautious scholars will mention these rumors when they mention the death of Sejong. However, some people think that this assassination is purely a rumor. First of all, after the Lu case, all his family members were punished and none escaped. Secondly, it is impossible for Siniang to integrate into the palace. Although there have been families of criminals, especially women under the age of 15 who were put into the palace as slaves, such as Yan Hongkui and Huang Bu, their wives, concubines and daughters-in-law all worked for the heroic family, and Lu's grandchildren worked as slaves in Tuji, and most criminals who committed major crimes ended up like this. So Sinian can't be mixed into the palace. Also, the emperor actually spent two-thirds of his time in the Yuanmingyuan, a detached palace. The purges in the Forbidden City can't compare with Yuanmingyuan, which has the title of "the victory of gardens". Therefore, he "moved to the Garden Palace after the ceremony in the new suburb and returned to ouchi before the winter", "Gai regarded ouchi as a place to watch the ceremony, and he did not miss anything after the ceremony". The size of the cabinet, ministries, hospitals and other institutions in the park is comparable to that of ouchi. In the second year of Yongzheng, a guard camp was set up. Women can't fly over the eaves and walk over the walls at all. Through day and night patrols and strict security, she can easily enter the bedroom and assassinate the emperor. Therefore, the statement that Yongzheng was assassinated has been questioned to some extent. Others believe that Sejong was neither assassinated nor dead. He may have died of poisoning by taking Dan medicine. This is a conclusion drawn from the court archives and other materials. Sejong had raised some monks and Taoists in the palace before his death. On the third day after his death, on August 25th, the heir suddenly issued a decree to expel the alchemist from the palace. The new king has just ascended the throne, and there are still many things to deal with, so it is really strange to expel several Taoist priests urgently. Gan Long said that his father regarded Buddhism as a good thing and didn't listen to a word or take any medicine. This is obviously defending my father. Otherwise, how could you suddenly give an eviction order? He also said that these monks should have been expelled a long time ago, but why did Sejong tolerate them in the palace? If the purpose of Qianlong is to worship the right path and spread heresy, then he should be rejected. However, he proudly said: "I respect Buddhism ... I have a reward in the imperial examination, and the Golden Law Society is the first." In addition, he treated Sheng Chao and Yuanri well and invited them to visit Zigong. On the same day that the Taoist priest was expelled, Qianlong issued an imperial edict to the jailers and maids, warning them not to fabricate false legends about state affairs, "for fear that the Empress Dowager would be unhappy", "Anyone who gossips outside and informs the court for no reason is a traitor to Buddhism" and "will do the right thing". It is also worth noting that the "poisoning death" theorists believe that this incident must be related to Sejong's sudden death, otherwise why would the Queen Mother be upset by the gossip she saw? These statements cast a mysterious veil over the cause of Yong Zhengdi's death, making the truth even more confusing. Are the parents of Emperor Qianlong Han Chinese? Anyone who has read Jin Yong's novel The Sword Revenge must be curious about a sentence in the book, because it says that Qianlong is Chen Jialuo's younger brother. In fact, the statement in the novel is not groundless, but has a certain origin. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, almost everyone, from bureaucrats to women and children, knew such a legend that an emperor in the early years of the Qing Dynasty was the son of the Chen family in Haining, Zhejiang. Who is this emperor? Some people say it's Li Hong of Emperor Qianlong. This legend is also found in unofficial history written by some folk people. The article "The Grand View of unofficial history in Qing Dynasty" Volume I "The Emperor Gaozong and Chen Haining" has such a narrative: When Yong Zhengdi was a prince, he made friends with Chen Haining, and the two families had frequent exchanges. It happened that two families had children at the same time on the same day in the same month. It's just that Yin Jia is a girl and Chen Jia is a boy. Yin ordered someone to look at it, but secretly changed the child. Chen Jiafa was shocked when the child was changed. However, due to the influence of the other side, we dare not pursue it and dare not speak out. Shortly after Kangxi's death, the emperor was located in Yin. After Yin acceded to the throne, several people in the Chen family became officials and dignitaries. After Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, he treated chen more with courtesy. Gan Long went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang six times, including four to Chen Jia in Haining. When he left for the last time, he went to the middle door and said to Chen, "Don't open this door easily unless the emperor comes in person." This door has never been opened since then. Those who hold the above views also put forward some other evidence. There are plaques inscribed by two emperors in Chenzhai, Haining. One is called "Love Day Hall" and the other is called "Chunhui Hall". The word "love heaven" comes from the article "A dutiful son loves heaven" in Yang Xiong's The Book of Filial Piety. Later generations call the day when a son serves his parents love day. The word "Chunhui" comes from the poem "Only an inch of long grass is a little sentimental, enjoy three Chunhui" in Meng Jiao's Ode to a Wanderer in the Tang Dynasty. Later generations often use Chunhui as a metaphor for maternal love. The inscriptions on these two plaques show that the son respects and filial to his parents. Later, the girl who exchanged with the son of the Chen family in Haining grew up in the Chen family in Haining, reached marriageable age and married the Jiang family in Changshu, Jiangsu. The Jiang family built a small building for her, which was later called "Princess House". These historical materials make people believe that Gan Long is the son of the Han people. However, some people have raised objections. There are ten princes and six princesses in Yong Zhengdi. Emperor Qianlong is his fourth son, so it is reasonable to say that there is no need to exchange children with other surnames for their own children to inherit the throne. This is the most convincing argument. Secondly, judging from the relationship between the Qing emperor and Haining Chen, it is purely the friendship between the monarch and the minister. Chen was a famous family in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, Chen Jiatong became an official for a period of time. In the early years of Yongzheng, in order to meet the needs of economic development and people's life in the lower reaches of Qiantang River, Zhejiang seawall was built on a large scale. However, Yong Zhengdi was busy with government affairs, and the damage caused by the tsunami scouring the river bank was not serious, so he could not go in person. After Gan Long ascended the throne, he attached great importance to this project. After several southern tours, I came to Haining for investigation four times. So when he goes to Haining, he has to have a suitable place to live. Chen is Kang Yonggan's Zaifu. His home is a scenic spot in Haining, with pavilions and sparse flowers and trees, which naturally becomes a place for a ride. This garden was originally named "Jiaoyuan" and was renamed "An Lan Garden" by Emperor Qianlong. "An Lan" means that the water waves are quiet, so it can be seen that Emperor Qianlong went to Haining to inspect the seawall project instead of visiting his parents. As for the two monuments, according to the research of historian Meng Sen, the Biography of Chen Yuanlong compiled by the National History Museum of the Qing Dynasty said: In April of the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi (A.D. 1700), Kangxi summoned his ministers in the temporary hall and said, "You all have your own hall names, so you might as well write them to me on the spot. I'll write it for you. " Chen Yuanlong said that his father was over 80 years old, so he put forward the word "Love the Sun Hall". It is also mentioned in the Annals of Haining that in June of the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi (A.D. 17 15), because my brother Chen's wife was widowed for 41 years, the imperial book gave the word "filial piety" (A.D. 17 15) and a plaque of "Chunhui Hall". In other words, the inscriptions on the two plaques were written by Emperor Kangxi according to the instructions of his liegeman, and have nothing to do with the meaning of filial piety. Therefore, it is nonsense to say that Gan Long is the son of the Han people.
