The Legend of Zheng Qiao
The new champion married a poor girl.
Zheng Qiao studied in this county, and Wang Jiaoyu, a scholar in this county, took good care of him. He thinks that this son is clever and knowledgeable, and will surely succeed in the future. He often praises him as his favorite student. Wang Jiaoyu has an only daughter, who is in her prime and has not yet married. The lady said to the Oracle, "Since you value Zheng Qiao so much, you might as well give your daughter Zhenniang to him." Wang Jiaoyu had this intention a long time ago, so he entrusted people to reconcile with each other. For this marriage, Zheng Qiao's family also agreed, but in the end they listened to Zheng Qiao's suggestion, waiting for "getting older and getting younger", which means waiting for Zheng Qiao to succeed before talking about marriage.
Later, Zheng Qiao won the prize and went to Beijing to take the exam. Sure enough, the article was the best in the world and was hand-picked by the emperor as the champion. When the emperor saw that the new champion was both talented and beautiful, he took special care of him and wanted to entrust him with an important task immediately. Zheng Qiao asked to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors before playing for the royal family, and the emperor immediately allowed him to play.
Let's talk about how glorious it is for the new champion to return to China and how proud he is to come back all the way. A few days later, when the big group entered Xinghua County, they met a hearse with a coffin. Because the road is narrow, the hearse is blocked at the intersection, and the big group can't pass at all. Seeing this, the chief porter shouted that it was unlucky and asked the hearse to make way quickly. Zheng Qiao, who was sitting in the sedan chair, got out of the sedan chair at once and said with a smile, "If you go out to see a coffin, you will be promoted and made a fortune. This is a good sign, a good sign! " Despite Zheng Qiao's friendliness, the family of the deceased avoided showing up. It turned out that it was none other than Wang Jiaoyu who was lying in the coffin. Because of all kinds of accidents, although Mrs. Wang and Miss Zhen Niang knew that they had won the first prize and went home, they just didn't want to see each other.
Wang's prophet is an honest official, but he gives money to poor students from time to time. Now he died suddenly, and there was no extra money at home, so he couldn't be buried. His wife and Miss Zhen Niang sold their clothes and were buried reluctantly, but they didn't want to be Zheng Qiao, the top scholar in Lu Yu. However, although Mrs. Wang and Miss Zhen avoided each other, Zheng Qiao finally recognized them. He hurried forward to worship Jenny and Miss. He was very sad to learn that his teacher had passed away. He immediately set up a sacrifice on the side of the road to pay homage to his teacher, crying like a crybaby.
After the arrangements were made, Zheng Qiao first went back to his ancestral home in Ocean Turtle Ridge to worship his ancestors, and then presided over the teacher's funeral. As soon as he died, he immediately sent someone to propose to his sister and responded to the engagement at that time. But miss Zhen Niang refused, and now she knows that the door is wrong, the door is wrong, and she dare not climb the mountain. When Zheng Qiao heard that Zhen Niang refused, she personally came to propose marriage, claiming that she would not marry unless Zhen Niang agreed. Zhenniang's mother and son were moved by Zheng Qiao's sincere love and finally agreed to their marriage. Subsequently, the Zheng family made a dowry and married Zhen Niang to the ancestral home of Guiling. Later, Zheng Qiao lived with her mother-in-law to support her life.
Because Zheng Qiao was an honest official and Guan Xinmin was from bad karma, he was favored by san huang. Later, he went to the main hall to pay homage, and Zhenniang was made the first lady. This is really: the champion of the new subject is affectionate, and the poor woman is blessed.
Legend of Jiaozhong Temple Fire
Legend 1: Zheng Qiao was poor when he was a child. He was looked down upon by monks when he was studying in Jiaozhong Temple. He secretly cooked wooden chicken legs to satisfy his hunger. Later, when he was licking wooden drumsticks, a monk in the congregation temple found out. The monk thought he had stolen someone else's chicken and spread it around, which ruined his reputation. Therefore, all monks and people around him have special respect for him. Zheng Qiao was very wronged. He vowed to burn Zhong Temple to avenge himself, and was buried in the back hill of Jiao Zhong Temple after his death to suppress Jiao Zhong.
Legend 2: Jiaozhong Temple is one of the bases for resisting the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight. When the Qing army discovered it, it was burned by officers and soldiers, and then it was blamed on Zheng Qiao. Manchu people used it to attack celebrities of Han nationality. Historical research shows that the Jiaozhong Temple fire is the second possibility.
The legend of three carp flying into the sky
In the fifth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1 169), palace examination and Song Xiaozong, the ugly champion, wrote a couplet: "Who can break the pistil yellow flower and osmanthus?" In a tone of throwing hydrangea, who dares to be the first in the world? It means osmanthus in the middle of the month. Who dares to fold? Zheng Qiao's mind flashed past a scenic spot he had seen when he was studying in Caixiyan, Xinghua, and he immediately replied: "I am alone in Longmen, Wan Ren!" Yue Longmen, a carp, metaphor. In the stormy waves, he stepped forward and learned a skill of serving the royal family. Long Yan, Emperor Xiaozong, praised: "Zou Lu, a coastal city in Xinghua, is famous for its literature." At present, he has been appointed as the top scholar.
The towering Caixiyan endowed Zheng Qiao with lofty aspirations, and the profound and simple folk customs created Zheng Qiao's broad mind. Zheng Qiao was a loyal official all his life. Filial piety, Guangzong and Ningzong san huang all valued him. Zheng Qiao is an honest official, caring for people's feelings and managing money well. He was a famous minister of economy in the Song Dynasty, and was named a teacher by posthumous title.
Zheng Qiao disobeyed orders and refused the draft law.
After winning the first prize, Zheng Qiao was appointed as an official of Zhennan Army by the emperor. After his arrival, he helped Zhi Jun to manage the local government. At that time, there was a famine in the southern army. Due to the poor harvest, people often starve to death and the people are miserable. Knowing that the army is in an emergency, there is nothing to do. Zheng Qiao actively rescued the famine, made on-the-spot investigation and put forward more than ten disaster relief measures. Thanks to effective measures, the famine soon passed. When the emperor knew about this, he was very satisfied with the disaster relief measures in Zheng Qiao, and ordered his ministers to study it well and spread it as a law to the whole country.
Later, there was a famine in Huai and Zhejiang, and the court sent several ministers to cure it, but it could not be cured. A large number of refugees continue to flow out and the situation is very critical. At this time, the emperor remembered Zheng Qiao again and immediately sent him to govern the country. At that time, Zheng Qiao had just been recuperating at home because of his father's death, and he was ordered by the emperor to rush back to the imperial court non-stop. After asking for 40 thousand stones of grain to help the hungry people, he personally handled the transportation of grain and sent all the grain to the hungry people's homes. At that time, a large number of refugees happily returned to China, and society soon settled down.
At that time, salt tax was still an important fiscal revenue of the country, but because of the corruption of officials, not only did the court have no income, but it lost hundreds of thousands, which really made the emperor have a headache. The emperor thought of Zheng Qiao again and put him in charge of salt tax. Salt should be circulated throughout the country, mainly by water transport. After Zheng Qiao came to power, he punished corrupt officials and dredged rivers. In just one year, the salt river was unimpeded, and the salt tax turned losses into profits, accumulating three or four million yuan for the court at once.
Zheng Qiao's ability and incorruptibility have been praised by the ruling party and the opposition party. The emperor was very happy. He immediately called Zheng Qiao into Beijing, made him the teacher of the prince, and drafted documents for the emperor. Zheng Qiao has read a lot of poetry books, which is not only very competent for the work of the prince's teacher, but also the imperial edict drafted for the emperor. At that time, scholars rushed to read his articles. During his tenure at the emperor's side, Zheng Qiao remained upright and outspoken, criticizing the darkness of officialdom, which made his prestige in North Korea reach its peak.
The emperor at that time was Xiao Zong. Emperor Xiaozong was lewd, and a treacherous court official surnamed Chen saw the situation and offered a beautiful woman. This beautiful woman was so obscene that the emperor was confused by her and hung out with her day and night. One day, when the emperor was happy, the beautiful woman took the opportunity to plead with the emperor and asked him to give Chen a promotion. The emperor was very happy. Without thinking about it, he wrote an imperial edict and asked Zheng Qiao to draft an appointment document. Zheng Qiao was very angry when he received the order from Emperor Xiaozong. He said, "This Chen is nothing, nothing and immoral. I can't write an imperial edict for his promotion!" "
Zheng Qiao returned the letter from Emperor Xiaozong to him. A friend advised him: "How can the imperial edict be returned? This is the crime of deceiving the monarch! " Zheng Qiao didn't listen to the advice and said flatly, "I did it for the benefit of the court and the emperor. If I am dismissed or beheaded for this, I am willing! "
Xiao Zong was a little angry when he saw Zheng Qiao's imperial edict, but because he loved Zheng Qiao's literary talent too much and listened to Zheng Qiao's words, he had to give up.
Let Kim live his life.
The late Northern Song Dynasty was a very weak court. Nomads from the invasion of Bianjing, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and his son as prisoners, was taken to Mobei. Kang Wang (Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty) crossed the river in a hurry. After building a small court in Lin 'an (now Hangzhou), he ignored his father and brother who were imprisoned in Mobei, implemented a surrender policy, reused the capitulator Qin Gui and others, persecuted the warring generals such as Li Gang, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and killed Yue Fei and his son in the Fengbo Pavilion on trumped-up charges. From then on, in order to find a peaceful corner, the Southern Song Dynasty sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to the State of Jin every year.
When Zheng Qiao became an official in North Korea, Emperor Gaozong had abdicated. Later, Xiaozong also gave gifts to the Golden List every year, but this messenger was not good and was often made difficult and insulted by the Golden List. This year, the imperial court sent messengers to give gifts to Jin Bang, and no one in the DPRK dared to take up this important task. Seeing that courtiers were so afraid, Zheng Qiao begged Emperor Xiaozong. Filial piety, of course, happy, so he appointed Zheng Qiao as special envoy for the Golden List.
When Zheng Qiao arrived at the Golden List, it happened that the owner of the Golden List was ill in bed and could not receive him. One day, Minister Jin Bang took Zheng Qiao into the palace to visit patients. Entering the Golden Palace, Zheng Qiao looked up and saw that it was not the main entrance, but the East Pavilion. He stopped at once and stood transfixed at the door with an imperial edict in his hand. Kim said to him, "Come in." Zheng Qiao said reverently, "No, this East Pavilion was hit by your minister. I'm here on the orders of Emperor Da Song, so I should take the main entrance. " Jin said with a smile, "The Great Song Dynasty has perished, and the emperor has become our prisoner. Aren't you here to pay tribute? Why do you put on airs to be a big country? " Zheng Qiao said: "My Song Dynasty was a country of civilization and etiquette. Now you are extremely poor in Mobei, giving me gold and silver materials, but you dare to be so disrespectful and talk nonsense! " Minister Jin Bang sneered: "Today in my palace, you have to go in, or you have to go in. Aren't you afraid of death? " Zheng Qiao smiled and said in a clear voice, "Death is not enough to redeem the crime of humiliating life." The nomads from the army pushed him, but if he took root, he wouldn't enter from the east gate.
From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, Zheng Qiao must enter the main entrance. No way, Minister Jin Bang had to call him back to the posthouse. In the evening, Jin Bang sent someone to threaten Zheng Qiao, but Zheng Qiao never gave in. Minister Jin Bang had to report to the gold master. The seriously ill financier admired Zheng Qiao's courage and ordered him to entertain him.
After completing the task of making gold, Jin Bang had to send him back with a gift.
When Zheng Qiao returned to the imperial court, Emperor Xiaozong had ceded the throne to Emperor Guangzong. The new emperor knew that Zheng Qiao's mission to the Golden List did not disgrace his mission, won face for the court, personally met with him, praised him greatly, and promoted him to an official position.
Young Zheng Qiao studied in four places:
The first is phoenix temple, in Tongan Town, Yongtai County today. Next to phoenix temple, there is also a "sea tower". According to the Records of Yongtai County, "Tongan Township was originally named Fu Bi, which was named after Zheng Qiaoguan, the top scholar of Song Yi."
The second is Jiaozhong Temple. In Tongguan Village, Wu Tong Town, Yongtai County, there was a formal private school at that time. This place is probably the most important place for young Zheng Qiao to study, because Zheng Qiao was buried next to Jiaozhong Temple according to his wishes after his death.
The third is Caixiyan, located in Xiangxi Township, Xianyou County. There are three carp-shaped stones on the top of the mountain. Whenever there is a storm, these three stone carp seem to be eager to soar in the sky, so they are called "three carp in the air". On the "Haihui Tower" in the Yanshan Mountains of Cai Xi, a stone tablet is erected, engraved with Zheng Qiao's epigram: "We can only take one step, I hope you don't give up halfway."
The fourth place to study is Yundingfeng. In Shicang Township, Xianyou County today, Guo Liang Jr. once said in a poem: "Before the peak of jade belt parting clouds, my lady's name is exploring the golden cage."
Zheng Qiao is a serious and responsible person who advocates loyalty. There is a folk legend that he was a top student in high school and married an orphan girl. Legend has it that when Zheng Qiao was young, he was appreciated by a county commandant and betrothed to his daughter. Zheng Qiao went to Beijing to take the exam, and was a top student in high school. On the way home, I happened to meet the wife and daughter of the county commandant to escort the soul of the county commandant to be buried. Zheng Qiao was grateful for the kindness of the county commandant before his death, that is, he went to hold a memorial service and invited the media to hire people. The wife of the county commandant, because of family changes and changes in the times, dared not climb to the top and declined politely. Zheng Qiao insisted on the appointment of the county commandant before, never abandoned his orphan daughter, never got tired of poverty, and decided to get married.
Zheng Qiao is an honest and upright official, who does not seek fame, and does not form a clique for personal gain. In Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong dynasties, he was always trusted and reused. He was old. After resigning for three transgressions and five times, Song Ningzong asked him to retire as a scholar in the Confucian Temple. After Zheng Qiao's death, he gave a surname, Qi Guogong and posthumous title too loyal, and worshipped the ancestral temple in the countryside. Jiading died in the eighth year of Southern Song Dynasty (12 15) at the age of 7 1. Ningzong heard the news and gave it to Qiu, Tai Guogong and posthumous title Zhonghui, and was buried in Yongfu County (now Yongtai County).
