This is really killing me

During the Yongzheng period, there was a painter named Huang Shen, also known as Mountain Man. He is good at drawing figures, mostly taking fairy tales, Buddha statues and the life of literati as themes, and also drawing little people such as woodcutter, fisherman, tracker, father Tian, successful wife, wandering mother and blind fortune teller.

It is said that when Yong Zhengdi wanted to be a court painter, his countryman Lei Xuan intended to recommend him. When Huang Shen went to Beijing to take the exam, others sang praises, but he drew a picture of begging. In the picture, "The hungry ghost on the roadside was frowning and begging for mercy", describing the tragic situation of the hungry people in Shouningqiao, his hometown during the famine years.

The emperor was furious and threw the painting on the ground. To this end, Huang Shen also almost lost his mind. Later generations analyzed that Huang Shen was not only * * for the people, but also had the delusion of Indiana Jones. But Yongzheng is not like the beautified Yongzheng on TV three hundred years later, and Huang Shen's delusion will naturally be shattered.

This time, on the way to Beijing, the mountain man passed by Chen Zhou and stayed. He had contacts with Kong Xianbang, a famous calligrapher in Chen Zhou, and he also hit it off with Song Dian, a magistrate of a county at that time. At a tea party for three, the magistrate of a county in Song Dynasty had a whim and wrote a short biography for him.

Huang Shen was so happy after reading it that he couldn't help watching it again. Then let Kong Xianbang read aloud and let him do the same. After reading the happy place, "no pen blocking" came into being, and I felt itchy, so I brushed it and wrote it again. Song Dian and Huang Shen were amazed at the vigorous pen and natural font. At that time, Song Dian also had a whim and said to Huang Shen and "Bubi": "Such a wonderful pen, I want to engrave it on the tablet to celebrate!"

After sending Huang Shen to Beijing, the magistrate of a county in Song Dynasty broke his word and asked the masons to carve his life and Kong Xianbang's "red claw" on the tablet.

Unexpectedly, just after the stone tablet was carved, the news that Huang Shen had offended the emperor reached Chen Zhou. Hearing this, the magistrate of a county in the Song Dynasty was frightened, for fear that his biography to Huang Shen would be leaked, and he himself would accompany Huang Shen to lose his head. Because he knew that this Yongzheng was better at literary inquisition than his father.

The magistrate of a county in the Song Dynasty had a cold sweat on his head. I think we should smash the tablet first. After he was ordered to smash the stone tablet, he still felt insecure and burned his manuscript and Kong Xianbang's Red Claw. After burning, he still felt insecure. I thought that although the tablet had been smashed and the manuscript burned, if someone reported it, the emperor would send someone to trace it. If the emperor pursues it, it will not only suffer losses, but also involve "not blocking the pen." What should I do? Losing his official position is a trivial matter, but losing Chen Zhou's pen is a big deal.

Second, * * * strategy.

After much deliberation, I think we should meet Kong Xianbang first, tell him about it and work out countermeasures with him. At present, Song Dian went to Confucius' House and told Kong Xianbang what happened to Huang Shen in Beijing.

Kong Xianbang was very surprised. He said to Song Dian, "When he was in Chenzhou, he didn't tell us what he was doing in Beijing, nor did he let us watch Begging for a Map. If I had known he was going to present this thing to the emperor, I would have dissuaded him! "

Song Dian said, "water under the bridge. It's too late to complain! Today, the emperor is very taboo about this, even if he wants to check it, he can't find it! Now it is not to protect Huang Shen's brother, but to protect you and me! "

Kong Xianbang's face changed with fear. A moment later, he said, "Few people know the biographies written by the three of us. If the emperor sends someone to investigate, neither you nor I will admit it. "

Song Dian said, "Brother is ignorant. As long as an imperial envoy arrives, he will arrest you first! As soon as you are arrested, you will be questioned. You won't recruit at first, but once severely punished, I'm afraid you can't stand it! " Kong Xianbang glanced at Song Dian and said with a smile, "My brother said it badly. I'm not that soft! " Song Dian shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. You can't pass the test! In that lobby, many brave men confessed, not to mention that you are a scholar! " "Don't block the pen" looked down on Song Dian, and he was very angry. He couldn't help but anger: "If you don't believe me, I'll try your lobby first!"

Hearing this, Song Dian waved his hand and said, "No, absolutely not! If it's a fake exam, you can stand it naturally! If you really try, how can you let your brother suffer from that kind of flesh and blood! "

Unexpectedly, Kong Xianbang was very determined: "I have to go to court. Which one wants you to try! " Next, the more Song Dian persuaded Kong Xianbang, the more serious he was, and the more determined he was to give it a try. In desperation, Song Dian said, "Since it is the imperial court, there must be a reason!" Kong Xianbang said: "As a magistrate, it is not easy to think of a reason!"

Third, it is really fatal.

Song Dian saluted: "Then don't blame my brother for being rude!" Say that finish, he bowed deeply to Kong Xianbang, and then hurried back to the county government, arrested Kong Xianbang for treason in the lobby, and asked the officials to beat him thirty times again and asked him if he would confess! Kong Xianbang pre-announced, naturally refused to recruit. Song Dian saw that it was hard and let it sit on the tiger stool ... So in a few rounds, a scholar Kong Xianbang was "killed" alive! Song Dian was very sad to see Kong Xianbang surrender without a fight. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, I had to imitate Kong Xianbang's handwriting, wrote an anti-poem, and made it public, which was considered a case closed.

Unexpectedly, Kong Xianbang, who just died "without blocking the pen", heard from Beijing that the emperor just threw Huang Shen's "Begging for a Beggar's Map" into the ground, and finally did not cure him. Song Dian was shocked at this and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The hanging heart finally fell down and said, "Brother Xianbang, why are you so serious?"
