析秦门三状元之谬传

Research on the truth of QIN Hui’s family

秦桧是中国历史上臭名昭著的大奸臣 ,史书中关于他的记载很多 ,其中“秦门三状元”的说法更是广为流传。如宋人李心传的《建炎以来朝野杂记》、陈鹄的《耆老续闻》、清人顾炎武的《日知录》及今人梁羽生的《笔花六记》等书均载秦桧、秦火喜 (桧之子 )、秦埙 (桧之孙 )皆为状元 ,其实这一说法有违史实。事实是秦桧为二甲赐进士出身 ,秦火喜、秦埙均为一甲进士及第。

Qin Hui was the worst traitor in Chinese history. A lot of historical book had recorded him. Among these books, four famous books record were wrong. They were The records of court after Jianyan that was written by Li Xin-chuan , The records of old man that was written by Chen hu, The Ri zhi Lu that written by Gu Yan-wu and The six records that written by Liang Yu-sheng. The four authors said that Qin Hui was a number one scholar, and his son and his grandson were the number one scholar too in their books. But the truth is that Qin Hui was worse than the third in exam, Qin Xi was the second and Qin Xun was the third.
