Eight hundred snakes were killed and Fang Xiaoru was destroyed by Judy.
Fang Xiaoru (1357- 1402), a native of Fangshang Village, Dajiahe Town, Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province, was a minister, scholar, writer, essayist and thinker in Ming Dynasty. His word is fond of the past, and his name is Xun Zhi. He once named his study after Xunzi. Because his hometown once belonged to Gou city, it was called Gou. Fang Xiaoru was very alert and agile when he was young. His eyes are bright and he reads more than an inch every day. Everyone in the village calls him "Xiao Hanyu". After studying with Song Lian as an adult, the famous literati among Song Lian's proteges are not as good as him. Later, Judy refused to draft the memorial, and more than 870 people involved in his relatives and friends were all killed.
Ming Taizu collapsed, and Prince Zhu Biao died young, so Zhu Biao's second son, Zhu Yunwen, was made emperor (Zhu Biao's eldest son died in 10) and became Hui Di. Hui Di's separatist regime led to the defection of his uncle Judy (the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang). In the name of "clearing the monarch's side (eliminating the monarch's body, except the powerful minister)", he chased Hui Di and became emperor on his own, which is called "the change of Jing Nan" in history. Judy ordered Fang Xiaoru, a veteran of the two dynasties and a bachelor of Hanlin, to be proclaimed emperor, but Fang Xiaoru did not listen and wrote "Yan thief usurped the throne". Judy was furious and threatened to "punish the nine families", so she said "why not punish the ten families" and slaughtered them in the city, killing 873 people (except the nine families and the master and pupil).
Fang Xiaoru's integrity, loyalty to suffer, die unyielding. In history, only "nine families" were tortured, and only Fang Xiaoru and Jing Qing were "ten families" in history. Mr. Lu Xun used him as an allusion to describe Rou Shi in Memories of Time Past, and thought that Fang Xiaoru was a pedantic person, that is, honest and simple (not derogatory).
Fang Xiaoru is not a simple person. He once assisted Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, to conquer the world. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he assisted Ming Huidi. He is a veteran of several dynasties. Just before Fang Xiaoru was born, his father Fang Keqin came across a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and he planned to bury the bones of his ancestors in this treasure trove of geomantic omen.
Incredibly, Fang Keqin had a strange dream that night. He dreamed that an old man in a red robe bowed to him and begged, Sir, I have lived in this land you chose for many years. I beg you to give me three more days to let my children and grandchildren move to a new home, and then you can build a grave. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future. The red-robed old man respectfully said three times that Ding Qian asked the old man to give him a three-day grace period to break the civil grave, and then he went to worship.
Fang Xiaoru, dad woke up and said this happened? Most things in dreams are illusory. He is a man who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Besides, the next day was an auspicious day chosen by the Feng Shui master. How can you delay three days because of this illusory thing? So he ordered the workers to start digging, dig underground and found a cave. There are hundreds of red snakes in the cave. Fang Fu was furious and ordered the workers to burn all the red snakes with torches!
Strange things have happened again. That night, he dreamed of the old man in the red robe again. The old man wept bitterly: I begged my husband for three days last night, but you refused. Why did you burn my 800 descendants alive for no reason? Since you ruined my family, I will ruin yours!
Fang Xiaoru's father gave birth to Fang Xiaoru shortly after the ancestral grave was built (it is said that Fang Xiaoru's tongue is as sharp as a snake and the color is like blood). It seems that the ancestral graves have good feng shui. When Fang Xiaoru grew up, his career flourished and he became an academician. Talented people are not only loyal and filial.
After Ming Taizu's death, Judy, the prince of Yan, led an army into Nanking and seized the throne of his nephew Hui Di. All the officers surrendered, but Fang Xiaoru refused to surrender. The prince then thought of an expedient measure and ordered Fang Xiaoru to write a notice telling the world that the prince only entered Nanjing to protect the country of the Ming Dynasty.
