Human life

In the ninth year of Southern Song Dynasty, Taizhou Zhifutang was registered as Yan Rui and Wang Hui, and returned to Huangyan to live with his mother.

In the same year, Zhejiang Changping made Zhu tour Taizhou. Because Yongkang Tang School opposed Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Zhu impeached Tang for six consecutive sentences, of which the third and fourth sentences dealt with the crime of Tang and Yan Rui's vulgarization, and ordered Huangyan to arrest Yan Rui, take him to Taizhou and Shaoxing, and whip him to force him to confess. "In two months, he was killed many times." Yan Ruining refused to accept, saying, "For a cheap prostitute, there is abuse between the vertical and the satrap, and the teacher will not die; However, whether it is true or not, you can't slander a scholar-bureaucrat, even if you are dead. "

The discussion on this matter in the ruling and opposition parties shocked Song Xiaozong. Xiaozong thought it was a "scholar's fight for leisure", so he handed Zhu over to Yue Fei's descendants, put him in prison for a while, released Yan Rui and asked about his home. Yan Rui wrote that the operator is not love: "It's not love, it seems to be mistaken by the frontier." When flowers bloom, they always rely on Dong Jun. If you go, you have to live If the flowers bloom, the slaves in Mo Wen will come back. "Yue Lin was ordered to be a good servant, and was later accepted as a concubine by Zhao Kuangyin. There are only three poems: Meng Ling, Queqiao Fairy, and Operator. Based on this, Mo Wen's Slave Return has been staged for a long time.
