Chapter 261
The people on the sky were looking at the retired warships in the distance with a look of surprise. How much firepower must so many gun barrels have? And why was it retired? It looked quite majestic.
Especially the Beiyang side in the late Qing Dynasty, they wanted to take a good look at the level of ships in later generations and see if they could absorb some useful designs from them.
After all, they really know something about this stuff.
……
After returning home, Qi Cheng ate a little and went to bed. He had to go to work tomorrow, and if he didn't get some sleep early, he would feel uncomfortable.
After a day of work, Qi Cheng returned home and asked the system to quickly assign someone. He felt that there was a lot more work in the factory today, and he was a little overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of this.
"Yu Fan of the Three Kingdoms."
Qi Cheng seemed to have heard of this person. He should be a counselor of the Wu State, but he didn't know much about other things.
"Host, I'd like to ask, you said Sima Yi brought ruin to the reputation of the entire Sima family. Are there other people like him in history? Do later generations really feel ashamed?"
Yu Fan decided to keep future generations away from the people mentioned by the anchor.
Sima Yi: Why don’t you ask about your Wu Kingdom?
Qi Cheng thought about it and said that there really were such people in history, but he didn't know what his descendants thought of them specifically, after all, there are all kinds of people.
"If I were to say who in history was comparable to Sima Yi, I think it would be Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty. It's been over a thousand years since the Song Dynasty, and he still kneels in front of Yue Fei's tomb."
Qi Cheng found a picture and showed it to him. Looking at the four statues kneeling there, Yu Fan was stunned. Although he didn't know what Qin Hui had done, even Sima Yi didn't receive such treatment.
Reputation was very important in the Three Kingdoms period. Once a person's reputation was ruined, he would probably be unable to move forward. What on earth did this person do to deserve to kneel for so long?
It will be a disgrace forever.
"I've talked about the Song Dynasty before. Qin Hui was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Song. He was also a staunch advocate of peace. At the time, there was also a great general in the court named Yue Fei."
"At that time, Yue Fei had won several victories against the Jin Dynasty and was about to conquer Huanglong. But Qin Hui slandered Yue Fei to Emperor Gaozong of Song, who summoned him back with twelve golden medals."
"Later, Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun were murdered at Fengbo Pavilion on trumped-up charges."
"To commemorate Yue Fei, later generations cast a statue of him and knelt before his tomb."
"Qin Hui's notoriety goes beyond this kneeling statue. The fried dough sticks I often eat in the morning are also called fried dough sticks. The two together represent Qin Hui and his wife."
Three Kingdoms
It was too cruel, really too cruel. Fried dough sticks were a very common thing in later generations, because they had also seen how many people gathered around the fried dough stick stalls.
Qin Hui's reputation will probably be ruined forever.
Moreover, the Three Kingdoms period was a period when people had some faith in ghosts and gods. If later generations did this, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting Qin Hui be thrown into the frying pan every day?
"This Qin Hui is truly despicable! Why didn't Yue Fei poke a thousand holes in him?" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth in anger. "And he even surrendered to the barbarians. How could he have the nerve to do that?"
宋朝
Zhao Kuangyin covered his chest and wondered why Song Gaozong believed what Qin Hui said. Why were these descendants of Qin Hui so weak?
If Yue Fei were under his command, he might have taken back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for him long ago.
What a waste of resources.
Song Gaozong felt like the sky was falling. No wonder future generations looked down on him. It turned out that it was because of Qin Hui, a person who would be infamous for thousands of years. He had better think of a way to clear his name as soon as possible.
Qin Hui at home was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could go to the future and move these statues away.
……
"Qin Hui himself had no biological descendants. Historical records show that he adopted his wife's nephew. Of course, his nephew was not a good person either."
"However, Qin Hui's grandson was named Qin Ju. He was an official in Qizhou. When the Jin army invaded the south, he bravely resisted the enemy and burned himself to death after the city was captured."
"It can be said that good shoots have come out of bad bamboo."
"During the Qing Dynasty, the Qin family produced a top scholar named Qin Dashi. After he won the top spot, the emperor asked him what he thought of Qin Hui, and he wrote a famous couplet."
"People since the Song Dynasty have been ashamed of the name Hui, and I am ashamed to be named Qin when I stand before his grave."
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin thought he already knew how bad Qin Hui's reputation was, but after reading the last sentence, he felt that he still didn't understand.
Even the descendants of my own family cursed me so harshly.
Most people in dynasties before the Song Dynasty did not want to use the word "衧". If people in later generations made a mistake, they would be scolded.
It’s a pity to waste the word “cypress”, it has such a good meaning.
宋朝
Qin Hui spat out a mouthful of blood. His own descendants looked down on him. It was impossible that he would not be able to enter the Qin family ancestral hall.
I won’t die without anyone offering sacrifices to me.
……
Qi Cheng checked some more information. Later, there were still many traitors, but it seemed that not many of them had affected the family's reputation.
But he himself still has an extremely bad reputation.
"During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a famous couplet: 'History records his fame, though he has not yet achieved fame, he can still be emulated; his great grace is so great that he cannot repay his country and instead becomes an enemy.'"
"This is about Hong Chengchou, but he didn't bring shame to future generations. This may be related to the long reign of the Qing Dynasty. However, his reputation in the Qing Dynasty was probably not very good."
"Because I heard that after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and led his troops south, his brother took his elderly mother on a boat on the sea and never set foot on land again. And the emperors who followed him didn't remember his contributions either."
"Compiled the biographies of two ministers, and was listed on the list."
Qi Cheng also saw the video of Hong Chengchou's descendants commemorating him. In fact, Hong Chengchou's son was an official of high rank, so his family's legacy has been passed down.
I didn't think he did anything wrong.
Speaking of another person with the surname Hong, Hong Chengchou is not the most famous one. There was also Hong Xiuquan in the late Qing Dynasty, and Hong Xiuquan is often ridiculed now.
He is said to be the second son of Heavenly Father.
I wonder if people will start to say that Hong is a descendant of God when we mention him in the future.
……
Hong Chengchou had never heard of the Biography of Two Ministers, but he knew that his reputation would be bad in later generations, but it should not be to the extent of Qin Hui.
Seeing that there was still some time left, Yu Fan shouted loudly, asking his descendants to stay away from these two people and not to ruin the reputation of the Yu family.
Qi Cheng smiled. Why didn't Yu Fan ask himself what his reputation would be like in the future?
After saying all this, Qi Cheng lay on the sofa and watched a video about ancient Chinese literature.
However, people outside the sky were not very interested in this. After all, what this teacher said was far from what the scholar said.
