1, Zhang Jun, a bachelor of Hanlin in Jin Dynasty, was the victim of the first literary inquisition in Jin history. Because of a natural disaster, he drafted a "deeply self-deprecating" letter for Jin Xizong, which was framed by Xiao Xuan and chopped into a paste. Jin Zongji: "On the night of April, the storm, lightning and thunder broke the tail of the bedroom. When a fire went out and burned the curtains, the emperor hurried to another hall to escape. Ding Chou, there is a enter the dragon on the Yulin River in Lizhou. Strong winds damaged houses and official residences. Wam people and animals were flown for more than ten miles, and hundreds of people were killed or injured. May 5th, with April, Ding Chou's days changed, so forgive. Zhang Jun, a bachelor of Hanlin, was ordered to write the number one scholar. Those who participated in politics thought that his words were defamatory and became angry from embarrassment. He killed (Zhang Jun) The History of Jin:' Xiao Wei, a man, was favored by Xizong. After paying tribute, he was tired of getting involved in political affairs. On the night of April in the ninth year of Emperor Taizong, the heavy rain and lightning damaged the tail of the bedroom, and a fire came in from the outside, burning the door curtain of the bedroom inside. The emperor moved to another temple to escape and wanted to make atonement by writing a letter himself. Zhang Jun, a bachelor of Hanlin, looks at grass. (Zhang) Your intention is to answer the deep condemnation of Heaven. The articles are: "Only Telford is better than Tianwei" and "Millet is an ignorant boy". The translator said: "The Buddha is ignorant, widowed and lonely, ignorant in personnel, ignorant in ignorance. It's called the boy's baby, and this Han people trust the Lord with words. " The emperor was furious and ordered the guards to drag (Zhang) jun down to the temple, with hundreds of lists, not to let him die. Hit him in the mouth with a sword. Give me the Tong Tianxi belt. '

2. In A.D. 1323, Song Gongdi, a former monk, missed the Song Dynasty and wrote the following poem:

Message to Lin Hejing, How long will the plum blossom last? Guests under the golden platform should not come back.

Angry Yuan Ting, give death.

3. Ming history cases

From the case of A Record of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that Zhu Guozhen, a cabinet record of the Apocalypse Dynasty, was excluded by Wei Zhongxian and returned to his hometown of Wucheng, Zhejiang Province, where he compiled and published A Brief History of the Emperor. Unpublished manuscripts include the biography of the court official. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, there was a rich man named Zhuang Tingzhen in Huzhou, Zhejiang. He is blind, and he was inspired by "Zuo Qiu was blind, but he lost his Mandarin". He also wants to write a history handed down from generation to generation. However, he was not familiar with historical events, so he bought historical manuscripts from Zhu Guozhen's descendants and recruited talents who were interested in compiling the history of Jiangnan Ming Dynasty to supplement the history of Chongzhen Dynasty and Nanming Dynasty. When talking about the history of Nanming, he still respects the name of the Ming Dynasty, refuses to admit the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty, and mentions the fact that Nuzhen was founded in the late Ming Dynasty, such as writing Nuerhachi's name directly, stating that Li killed Nuerhachi's father and brother, scolding Shang Kexi and Geng as "thieves" in the Qing Dynasty, and writing that the Qing army used "Yi Kou" when entering the customs. These are all very important things in the Qing court. After the publication of Ming History, there was nothing at first, but only a few years later, a few shameless villains tried to blackmail the publisher, which caused an accident. Zhuang Tingyi, the person in charge at that time, had been dead for many years, and his father relied on the money to buy off the government and fight back the blackmailers one by one. I don't want a small official named Wu Zhirong to report to Beijing angrily. Ao Bai and others were so interested that they issued a decree to investigate the matter. So people related to Zhuang's Ming History are in big trouble. In the second year of Kangxi (1663), on May 26th, in the scenic Hangzhou city, the Qing army took more than 70 people (they wrote prefaces, proofread and even sold books, bought books, printed lettering and local officials) to "commit" the Ming history case, and at the same time, they were in Bijiao Square. Zhuang Ting, the "principal offender", opened the coffin and slaughtered the corpse according to "Big Violation", and hundreds of people were implicated and exiled.

4. Huang case

In the fifth year of Kangxi (1666), a yellow case occurred in Shandong. Huang Pei, a native of Jimo, Shandong Province, was a royal guard in the late Ming Dynasty. After his death, he lived in seclusion at home. Huang Pei's anti-Qing national thoughts are reflected in his poems, such as "Banana leaves the sea, the sun and the moon shine in Shandong", "Loulan was killed and refused to return it, so he gave the gold badge to the fighters", "There is no fireworks in Pingsha, and I think the love rainbow is flying from the north". The person suing is Huang, the grandson of his handmaiden Huang Kuan. Huang, whose real name is Jiang, accused the Huang family of privately engraving and collecting "rebellious" poems and books in order to return to the family and remove the title of master and servant. As a result, fourteen people, including Huang Pei, were arrested, imprisoned and beheaded. Jiang was not enough, and he wrote an article entitled "North-South Communication" in conjunction with the wicked, accusing Gu and others of "abandoning ministers because of their ignorance" and those who had second thoughts about the Qing court. The communication between the north and the south is either plotting rebellion or slandering the imperial court. In this insidious article, about 300 people were named in an attempt to make a big case against Chiang Kai-shek. The case was indeed brought to the point where it was ordered to be handled, and the governor and governor of Shandong also personally asked questions. Gu was imprisoned for nearly seven months before he was released after Zhu Yizun and others rescued him everywhere.

5. The case of "the breeze can't read"

Xu Jun, a member of the Hanlin Academy, is the son of Xu Shang, the minister of punishments in Kangxi Dynasty, and the grandnephew of Gu. In the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), Xu Jun misspelled the word "Your Majesty" as the word "Imperial" in the memorial. As soon as the Yongzheng tyrant saw it, he immediately ousted Xu Jun. Later, I sent someone to look it up, and found the following verses in Xu Yun's poems: "The breeze can't read, why not turn over the books" and "The moon cares about me, and the breeze has no intention of leaving anyone behind", so the tyrant thought it was deliberate slander and made a decision according to the disrespectful law.

Under the cruel cultural oppression of Yongzheng tyrant, China culture was badly destroyed, and the tyrant made great achievements. In the eleventh year of Yongzheng (1733), the tyrant sent a letter to recruit talents and scholars, hoping to learn from Kangxi and reopen the learned and ambitious ci department. Who knows, he responded to Liao Liao and had to give up. Talents are dying, and literacy is ineffective. As for this, the negative impact of the literary inquisition can be justified.

6, Qiulian play pen disaster

Then there was the disaster of Qiulian playing with a pen. Qiu Lian is from Cixi, Zhejiang. When he was young, he once played the Book of Sean and big noble, which contained "If you want to establish a prince, be a prince; The words "Prince Mo Ruoxian, the prince" and "When Mr. Wang comes out, the prince can be safe and the world can be settled" were quite popular at that time. At the end of Kangxi, 70-year-old Qiu Lian was a scholar, and later returned to his hometown to be an official. In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), 85-year-old Qiu Lian was suddenly arrested. It turned out that the letter he wrote on behalf of Sean was to give advice to the abandoned prince. In June of the following year, Qiu Lian died in the capital prison. Teenagers play with pens, but old people are in trouble It is really called "the beginning of life literacy". "
