Anecdotes of characters in Madoff's novels

The origin of the one-day king of Maddox

There is a legend about the strange thing about Maduo, the top scholar. In the 10th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (14 12), Maduo, who was about to take the final exam again, came to Shizhu Mountain in Fuqing City from his hometown of Changle lingnan village to pray for his dreams. On the way, I met an old man who picked hairtail to sell, and thought that the fish was fried just right. Three days after I got to the mountain, I prayed for the dreamless spirit. In a rage, I wrote a doggerel on the wall of Xianlou:

Climbing mountains and wading for immortality, but not for three days and three nights,

One day, if you succeed, you will get rid of the pink sandal fairy.

That night, Madoff dreamed that someone wrote:

Qian Shan comes to seek longevity, why not bring delicious fish?

Because you are not strong enough, call me straw sandals fairy,

Missing you for a day is not a whip.

After the dream, Mado left happily. At that time, the imperial examination was appointed as the champion. The next year, because he went to the suburbs to sacrifice for the emperor and put on the emperor's royal clothes for one day, he really became a "king for one day." In order to thank the Nine Immortals for pointing out the maze in their dreams, I specially sent a plaque to the Nine Immortals in Shizhu Mountain. The poem says: "I miss fish without dreams for three nights, and the Nine Immortals give the horse a day to be king." In Jin Feng, Tantou, Yutian and other towns, hundreds of villages. Talking about Changle allusions with the elderly, I always like to talk about Maduo's story. In Lingnan, Macuo and Shajing townships, Maduo's story is almost known to women and children, and it has become the material for the elderly to tell stories to their children. The origin of this beautiful story is not simple. Although there is no record in the official history, Wu's Close the Window and Talk with the Guest and Chen Yuncheng's Smell in Fujian occupy a certain space, as well as the original "Driving the Suburb" and the gold plaque given by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty at that time, which shows that it really happened.

Ma and Li, half brothers, one mother, two champions.

It is said that Madoff's father is a businessman selling summer cloth. Because his wife Xu Shi couldn't have children for many years, he took advantage of his business to marry a Wang Xing woman named Meng Jiao as his concubine. This woman was born in poverty and lived on the street since childhood. She was only sixteen when she returned to Ma's house. As soon as she got started, she was abused by her first wife, Xu Shi. A few years later, he gave birth to a son, and his father was overjoyed. He got a son in his later years and was very happy, so he named it "Le". Wang thought it was over. Unexpectedly, although Xu Shiyang was happy, he was really jealous. The king also peeped at its meaning and secretly took more precautions. One day, Xu Shi took advantage of Meng Jiao's precious son to hang clothes, and pushed the mother and son down the stairs, shouting "Help" on purpose, making the neighbors think that Wang accidentally slipped to cover up his crime. Unexpectedly, Meng Jiao and her son fell from the building. Although Wang fainted because of head and arm injuries and bleeding, Mado was safe as a baby, which made him sleep soundly. Xu Shi was also surprised. Knowing his wife's intention, the priest was so stimulated that he fell ill with anxiety. At the right moment, his colleague friend Li Yuanshan went back to lingnan village to see him selling cloth, and immediately told him about his family situation, saying, "If you want to keep my children, you must entrust Meng Jiao to you. I know your string is broken and your home is still empty, so you are determined to send them away with the dream dumplings. Please don't quit. " Yuan Shan had to agree, and the next day he took Wang and Maduo back to the manhole. A year later, Yuan Shan gave birth to a son named "Ma" to commemorate the friendship his friend gave him as a concubine. In a few years, Tudor's father and Xu died one after another. Li Yuanshan made a lot of money because of his business success. He hired famous teachers Zheng Weile and Wei Ma, and successively won the first prize. For hundreds of years, the legend of "one mother and two champions" has been circulating among the people. However, according to some textual research by Ma people, it is suspected that it is a misinformation of "two champions in one division".

A poor fortune teller met two women and reached the top.

It is said that when Ma Le grew up, he was honest and diligent, buried his head under the window and studied hard. At the age of thirteen, I went to the county to take an examination of Confucian scholars, which has been set as the first case, but the examination paper was lost by the examiner, so that I didn't get the first place in the examination. In the past three years, he followed his studies and went to the East-West Jing House in the county to learn from the famous Neo-Confucianism, Mr. Chen. Ren Xun, a native of Jiangtian Township in this county, was a scholar in the eighteenth year of Hongwu. He was tired of being an official, but he dared to give advice because he was outspoken. His article was named Hainei, and Wang Zun, the magistrate of Changle County, hired him to give lectures in Dongxingshe. His ten students who enter Pan Pan are all future high school students. Ma Le's family was poor when his parents died. Later, he tried again and again, but the lights couldn't go on. He had to make a living by selling astrology books. In the old society, the only hope of a scholar was to make progress in his career. If they fail, there are only two ways out. One is to open a children's school and teach some pupils to make a living with their tongues. The other is to read some astrological books and sell divination. However, even if you sell divination, you have to rely on a glib tongue that will please, intimidate and deceive people to make money. Ma Le wouldn't do that, so few people asked questions, so he had to spend time with his half-starved wife.

In the fourth year of Yongle, Chen Quan (Chen), a classmate of Ma Le East-West Economic Society, won the second prize and was awarded the editing of the Hanlin Academy. Le's wife Gao Ruozhu, Chen Quan's cousin, wrote a letter to the director of the nursery school. I went to Beijing for nine years and took the exam as a tribute student at the age of 20. Ma Le's travel expenses to Beijing were borrowed from relatives and friends. After all, the travel expenses were limited, so he had to wear sandals and carry a parcel to Beijing. When he was on the road, he couldn't bear to see a woman's body exposed on the side of the road. Because of undressing, he moved her body and buried it in an ancient graveyard, which delayed a lot of time. As night fell and the wilderness was vast, he was asking sadly when he suddenly saw a light nearby. The woman took a poem in her mouth and said, "I often go to my concubine's house on cold nights, and there is no fire in the kitchen before making tea, so Lang Jun will go to the Golden List, and the rain will beat drums and flowers silently." I'm glad to hear that the first three sentences are easy to understand, and the fourth sentence doesn't understand the meaning. Just looking back, what cabins are there? What woman? I saw sparse trees, just a rotten loess, and there was a stone next to the ancient tomb. Surprise and surprise, eager to move forward. Soon it passed through a Long Mu, which was narrow in diameter and could only accommodate one person. Unexpectedly, about halfway through, a peasant woman picked a load of firewood and blocked it face to face. She wants to give in, but she is a little unwilling to give up halfway on this diameter. This woman seems to have caught a glimpse of its meaning, that is, "Is it possible for you to go to Beijing for an exam?" I have a pair. I'd rather trudge through the mud to make way. If not, I can only turn around or paddle forward. "Ma Le thought of a peasant woman's difficult sentence, so he put forward a proposition to her, which is enough to show that Ma Le said," My daughter is good at embroidery and loves chrysanthemums. My daughter made these shoes, but her own shoes are embroidered with chrysanthemums, while the little woman's shoes are embroidered with chrysanthemums. I asked her why, and she said,' When mom goes out every morning, flowers are exposed in the grass, and flowers can bloom when exposed'. But the chrysanthemums embroidered on little women's shoes will never bloom, because there is a saying in the play:' green shoes embroider chrysanthemums, but it is difficult to kick them at the DPRK'. If you don't be the first line, Mr. Wang is educated, that is, seeking the right. "When Ma Le first heard this sentence, he thought it was not difficult to correct the couplet, but when he found a correct couplet, he was embarrassed for a while. The more he thinks about it, the more difficult it is. Yes, no.

I feel half ring, but I can't figure it out, so I have to wade through the water to make way. I'm thinking about taking off my shoes to avoid it. When I looked up, I saw what woman was there. I saw buildings criss-crossing and a path leading to the main road. It was built too early and got lost. Then he turned into the street and left. On the way, he read this sentence carefully and was surprised.

When Ma Le rushed to Beijing to submit his court examination paper, the examiner saw the frost spots on his temples, and his appearance was similar to that of Emperor Yongle. He was secretly surprised. After reading his article, I feel that the pen is strong and strong, and the temperature is good. Because I strongly recommend this volume, I plan to choose Yuan. Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Bai Yunqing has a daughter and a wife, and plans to choose Yuan Gong as her husband. He chose Linzhi because Linzhi (a native of Fuzhou) also claimed to be the number one scholar, but he was unwilling to do so. At this point, Bai Yunqing heard that he was going to rob Yuan for half a year, so he was so angry that he ordered Linzhi to go to the temple to fight. Emperor Yongle saw that the examiners were all on the list and was going to write a royal roll call. When he heard about it, he sent them to the temple for an interview. Although the Emperor Jianle is old, he is very steady, looks almost like himself, and is also amazed by the heavens and the earth. He also saw that Lin Zhi was young, talented and charming. At that time, the emperor held a white fan with plum blossoms in his hand, and the title "White fan with plum blossoms, can't move in the wind every day" was affixed to the fan. Lin couldn't answer, and said to Japan, "It is difficult to embroider chrysanthemums with blue shoes." The emperor was very happy, pointing to a pot of bells outside the temple: "The wind can't blow bells, and the music casually matches the" Rain Beats Silent Drum Flowers ". Seeing joy is not only agile, but also rational. The emperor repeatedly praised: "The talent of the real champion is also the talent of the real champion. "All the palaces say congratulations, and Linzhi also obeys, so he won the yuan and won the world.

What harms others and yourself is the right to avoid each other; Help supervise the country and replace the emperor in the suburbs.

Bai Yunqing wants to defeat Ma Le and choose a young one to satisfy his desire to be a top son-in-law. Unexpectedly, this made Ma Le famous, and the emperor was lucky, which really made him angry. One day, he said: My country is called Yongle, and Ma Le is famous for its music. It is really disrespectful to violate the title, and it should be punished as bullying the monarch. The emperor is not happy either. He asked Yue Le, who said to him, "I am 48 years old, and your majesty's title is not based on the end of my name, but before my name. How could I be guilty? Please check it carefully. " Emperor color, that is, renamed "Duo", is very popular. When the emperor moved his capital to Yanjing, he often used Ma Duo to help the Crown Prince guard the tight encirclement, which increased Bai Yunqing's jealousy. It was the twelfth lunar month, and the emperor was well. On the first day of the New Year's Day, the Ming emperor went to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, the old capital, to worship the sky and the suburbs, so as not to catch the wind during his illness. Baiyun Qing also played a new champion on behalf of the suburbs. He committed the crime of trespassing because of the complicated ceremony. He wants to wait for an opportunity to harm Madoff, and how resolutely he obeys. In the early morning of New Year's Day, Tudor wore a dragon robe and a crown. He is supported by the Prime Minister with full salary, and he travels with hundreds of officials. A priest worships a ritual. After the ceremony, the Prime Minister offered tea, but Bai Yunqing pretended to accidentally drop the jade cup and broke it. After tea, a gust of wind blew. When he saw more candles on the outermost (lowest) candlestick in Fujian province in front of the altar, the candle wax melted quickly, he felt something. So he took the opportunity to move the sense of justice to the innermost place, ranking first among the 18 provinces, and then Bai Yunqing's plot of hiding evil could not be sold, and he was angry and resentful. When he saw it, he insisted on changing the color of the candlestick and saying that he was selfish and had ulterior motives. The emperor asked the priest, and the priest said, "I heard that there are suburbs, so I pray for heaven and earth to bless and protect the country." Emperor Ze was always in Fujian, including Fuzhou, Fuan, Fuding, Funing and Fuqing, commonly known as Five Blessingg. First of all, I also pray that God will always cherish Five Blessingg's intentions. When the prime minister served tea, he pretended to miss and broke the jade cup. The ministers were shocked and the gods shook. This is not to look down on my officials, but to hold the monarch back. May your majesty see clearly! "After hearing this, Emperor Yongle changed his color, reprimanded Bai Yunqing and made him apologize to Madoff, feeling ashamed. Madoff thought he was the best scholar, so he offended Quan Xiang. At present, he is worried that it is difficult to be compatible. Instead, he took refuge for the time being. Because he played the role of the emperor begging to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Emperor Yongle performed it with his own hands, and at the same time wrote "No.1 scholar, driving on behalf of the suburbs". An almost official system awarded him a gold medal, and Du was honored for it. He hung the imperial plaque on the lintel in front of the ancestral temple.

Bai Yunqing, who destroyed the Wild Goose Mountain, was blinked, and Wang Mengjiao, who was in the funeral, was honored.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yunqing still failed to get rid of Maduo, but secretly told his henchmen Qin what he had said about playing with the emperor: "Maduo lives in lingnan village, Changle, and the village flies to the wild goose peak, which is a victory of Feng Shui. Not the kui is a cloud he can be emperor, and his majesty fengyangshan trapped (sleeping) wild goose mountain in pairs. I can smell the geese flying out and the trapped geese entering. " If it is not controlled, it will not be a blessing forever. "When Ming Hongwu founded the country, he covered the world with integrity and said that his compassion could not be taken away. Therefore, this statement hit the heart of Emperor Yongle, fearing that the throne would be squeezed away, so he made a decree to destroy Feiyan Mountain. At home, Maduo thinks about how to honor his biological mother, make a name for his half-brother Mary Youyang, and also want to make some achievements in his hometown. I didn't expect a thunderbolt to come in half a day. One day, suddenly a large group of guards and Wuyi were ordered by the emperor to force villagers to destroy Fei 'e Mountain with ginseng. The crops nearby were trampled by them and they were very angry. At this time, the villagers rebelled, fearing that the priests would cause great disaster and hinder themselves, so it was difficult for the local officials to step down. They thought that this move must be another ghost idea of Bai Yunqing. In desperation, Chi Tong said, "Wild geese fly out, trapped geese enter, wild geese fly south, and trapped geese starve to death. I'm afraid the emperor only heard the last sentence, and he didn't try his best in the meaning of the next sentence. "The guards and Wu Yi were killed by the villagers, but they dared not act rashly. As a result, the news reached the capital and all the officials were invited. When Emperor Yongle woke up, he called on Qin Tianjian to give him the death penalty and demoted Bai Yunqing to the people, which made him depressed and sick.

Mary won the first place in the provincial examination and the provincial examination, because he has the same mother and brother. When he was singing, the emperor's pen pal added the word "Qi" to Ma and changed it to "Qi" (see Li's genealogy in Shajing Township). Since then, he has been called Li Qi. It is said that when Madoff was in middle school, Ceng Ming, the head of Changle, sang again this time. This is the origin of the proverb "the first stone mountain wins a prize". In the seventeenth year of Jiajing, He Ying, the magistrate of Changle County, carved the word "ladder" on the first stone peak to commemorate the good fortune of Changle winning the first prize twice in seven years!

Wang Mengjiao's death meant that Ma wanted to bury his mother in Lingnan. Li Qi said, "If he is buried in Lingnan, won't his brother become a motherless son?" At the same time, in order to seal the ceremony for the mother, the two brothers expressed their feelings on the table and handed them over to the Ministry of Ritual for reconsideration. The Ministry discussed that Wang remarried, and the righteousness was not the same as that of her ex-husband. His adopted son became famous, and the ceremony should have a different name. It won't happen again. Wang Mengjiao was specially named King of Changle County and offered sacrifices.
