Chen Shikai's Last Chen Shikai Memorial Hall

At the end of the 28th year of Kangxi (1689), Chen Shikai, the magistrate of Zhejiang Province, suffered from asthma. After writing the last letter to Kangxi in Siming official office, Chen Shikai thought it over and over again: Now that the three transgressions have just subsided, the treasury is empty and everything is ready, but he is a brave man, and although he has achieved remarkable results, he has thought it over and over again. His memorial to the Ministry of Industry may not attract the attention and sympathy of those powerful ministers. Perhaps his memorial service to the Ministry of Industry has come to an end, so his career and wishes in his later years will be in vain. After careful consideration, he always felt something was wrong. Finally, he decided to go to Beijing to see the emperor himself, and there might be a chance of winning.

On the third day of December that year, Chen Shikai traveled thousands of miles to Beijing and was personally summoned by Kangxi. What Chen Shikai and Kangxi said is not recorded. The next day, Chen Shikai died in Beijing.

According to Yin Tai, an official of Kangxi Mansion, "On the fourth day of December, Chen Shikai, the magistrate of Zhejiang Province, died. When I was studying in the world, I was sent to Tong Guowei, the minister in charge of the guards. Ma Wu, the second-class guard, gave me tea and wine, but my son Chen Tianpei still helped me get three hundred and twenty pieces of silver. " On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Zhang Xiliang, an official in charge of the official residence, said, "When I visited the cabinet ministers, Chen Shikai, governor of Zhejiang Province, came to Beijing and died. Chen Shikai's talent is very strong, and there are many inter-line effects. You can give him a post and send him back to his place of governance, that is, another place, for example, to send him home. " The note that Kangxi sent from the mansion read: "Chen Shikai didn't knock on the door the day before. I called him in and saw him panting. I told the officials around him that his illness was very dangerous, so there was no harm in being around them. This is better than going back to the fruit! Before he died, Chen Fangshikai sent me a medical cloud: This is a perverted drama! I can't repay you for your kindness. Because I want to thank you, I will get up and kneel nine times. It is shameful to die! " The court sent people to hold 48 funerals and ordered officials to send Chen Shikai's coffin outside the noon gate. A few days later, Chen Shikai's coffin returned to his hometown-Chen Jiawan Xiaoba, Wuliangshan, Lichuan.

What did Chen Shikai write in the last letter written by Siming government to Kangxi? When he was seriously ill, he risked his life in a foreign country and insisted on going to the north himself. There is only one theme, that is, to build a fixed sea city. According to the records of the Fifth Academy of Sigeze, an official of Kangxi Mansion, on December 16th, the 28th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi ordered Ganqingmen to listen to politics. After the face-to-face performance by government officials in the Ministry and Academy, cabinet officials such as Isana, Alantai, Liang Qingbiao, Xu, Kai Yinbu, Zhu Duna, Peng, Guo Shilong, An, etc. made a discount and made a request. If you create a city around the king's residence and the streets are connected, you can gather together. Please take the restoration of Fucheng in Kaifeng, Henan Province and Tongzhou in Zhili as examples, and consider donating construction. (Ministry of Industry) Discussion is not allowed. "That is to say, shi-kai Chen requested to raise funds to build Haicheng, but Xiaohong did not agree to discuss it. However, when Emperor Kangxi heard about the performance, he thought that Dinghai was of great strategic significance, not only allowing it to be broadcast, but also issuing a decree for the Royal Bank to build it. He immediately told the cabinet minister: "Dinghai has a vital relationship, and donating money is not a good thing. The city is trying to build a positive currency and food. "And use Japanese laws to build Dinghai City. After Emperor Kangxi issued the imperial edict to build Dinghai City, Zhou Shenghua, the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture, and Xiancheng, Dianshi and Inspection Department of Zhenhai, Cixi and Xiangshan counties were awarded the positions of president, supervisor, contractor and supervisor respectively. They immediately made intensive preparations and started construction on April 16th, 29th year of Kangxi (1690). After 16 months' efforts, it was completed on August 16, 30 (169 1). A total of 3 1282 items were mobilized, which was the most expensive in Zhoushan's history of building a city.

The scale of the new city follows the scale of the old building, with the perimeter 12 16 feet, height 1 foot and width 1500 feet. There are four cities in Luoyue, and the city is forty-eight Zhang Xu. It is 1280 feet high. There are four doors in the southeast and northwest, each with a flying building and 38 shops distributed in the four doors. There is a water gate in the south of the city, surrounded by the city. These are basically consistent with the provisions of Zhoushan City in the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and the existing records in the map of Dinghai County in the Kangxi period. At the same time, Kangxi also adopted Chen Shikai's suggestion to repair the Fusaiji and Fayu Temple in Putuo Mountain. This story of Chen Shikai has been recorded in Fayu Temple, Changshou Monument Pavilion, and the evolution of Huiji Temple in modern times, especially in the Qing Dynasty when Hudemai, Kangxi, Fayu Temple and Chen and Huanggong Temple were jointly built. The records are as follows:

"From ancient times to the present, the surplus news of things depends on numbers; It is up to people to destroy waste. If you are kind to others, you count, but others don't. Therefore, those who prosper from waste and those who waste from waste are unforgettable. Although he is dead, he is still very happy and praises not to fail. For example, the Fayu Temple in Putuo, the Prefect Chen Gong and the General Palace are already there. Fuputuo Mountain, a famous Sinian mountain, is as famous as Emei, Wutai and Jiuhua. It is precisely because of the wonder of its mountains and rivers that the front temple is insufficient. In the Ming dynasty, it became a harem again. It is enough to see the distance of moral education of the Han nationality, and I am willing to make great efforts. It is necessary to make it necessary. Today, Emperor Yuji has been in power for 20 years, and he is already a martial artist. Overseas Otto, profile into the territory. So, don't relax. Although the monks who migrated from Putuo returned to their hometown, they did not serve Minglun. Huang Gong remained calm for two years, and when he met Cui Huanan, he took the opportunity to fight. So I have to pay to rebuild these two temples. Beggars' gangs are not only kind to sex, but also widely used in the southeast, while the wuyue government benefits from the external screen to consolidate the golden soup. First of all, the temple was not built, the elk were all over the mountain, and Jing Zhen covered the wild. But I don't want to become a monk and come from Dongshu to visit the old boy. Chen Gong heard his name, gave the Lord rain, and was generous to Saman. As a result, the Fa Zhuan, which was first taught in 200 years of Wanli, became the study of Zen Mahayana. Such as mountain screen oak, stem support or planting; For example, deep water repelled shrimps and crabs, and dragons and crabs dived and jumped. Anxiety is the only thing. Now, Lan, from Yishan, Rong Yuan, followed Huang Gong to the town, believing in loving others as himself and taking Pumen Gancheng as his own responsibility. It is called changing Dharma into Zen, and righteousness can learn from Dharma. Therefore, it is the monk who delayed the current trend, just like Chen Gongzhi delayed his departure from the public. While practicing rain, children's snow sinus is not reduced, and the five thunder are fine, strict and clean. Alas, when it comes to micro-Chen Gong, Lan Gong will also do it. However, the future is beautiful, should we forget the teachers of the past? Don't say goodbye: "I'll never forget Huang Gong, but I'm still blue. Don't forget Chen Gong, still cherish the Yellow Palace. Yu Lan College, together with joy chen and Huang Ergong, is also a gift. "When the temple is built, beggars will remember it. Yu Yue: The temple was destroyed, and the virtue of Huang Gong. Zen is the work of Chen Gong. It's not even a number with interest. The so-called number treats people, people don't appoint them, so it is. Alas, the Tao is not high and the defenders are weak; If you don't teach macros, you won't teach wings. Guan Chen and Huang Ergong did this to Fayu, just don't make it public. Giving is not asking for anything in return, remember. In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, Wuyin Winter. The first poem written by Jia Pingwa Hood Maidun. "

Chen Shikai's dying memorial was not what he expected. The passbook was handed over to the Ministry of Industry without approval, but Kangxi pushed his way through the crowd and approved Chen Shikai's memorial. Historians' analysis: Chen Shikai played a key role in Beijing. In the book Two Bodhisattvas, Zhang Quan said: "Chen Shikai, a government official who worshiped everything, made outstanding achievements from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, but in his later years he went to Beijing to recuperate. In the middle of Qing dynasty, when the official administration was not enlightened, it seemed to be a miracle. However, Chen Shikai is just one of many officials in Zhoushan Islands. In the process of continuous destruction and reconstruction of Zhoushan Islands, local officials are a neglected group. They are at the center of the confrontation between kingship, theocracy and civil rights, and they can neither completely violate the emperor's wishes nor dare to offend the gods too much. At the same time, traditional morality makes it impossible for them to ignore people's safety. Although the area under his jurisdiction is close to the Buddha Island, and the worship of Buddha prevailed among princes and nobles in previous dynasties, most of Chen Shikai and his colleagues did not have persistent Buddhist beliefs. In their minds, morality is the principle they need to stick to. Their understanding of faith is often just worthy of the colorful aura of peacock feathers, which are countless pairs of eyes that fly like locusts. " Zhang Quan's statement seems reasonable, but it is biased. The main reason may be that he doesn't know much about Chen Shikai's experience. Chen Shikai practiced martial arts since childhood. The villagers called him "Hei Hu" and the army called him "Chen Tietou". After many battles, he killed countless people. After his sword and gun were put into storage, he turned to overhaul the temple and preach Buddhism. Zhang Quan's other sentence when writing to the general manager of Dinghai seems to be more reasonable: monks and laymen are more grateful and nostalgic in the face of the same suffering.
