We devoured a lot of gluttony, countless southern delicacies, then put down the rice bowl, contented to leave the snack street, one by one with a swollen belly leisurely stroll, comfortable strolling in the antique southern ancient city, I and Xiaofei lost no time to leave everyone's sight, in the southern ancient county to look for a look, did not expect to easily find the parchment note left by Mr. Wang Dalong, it seems that we have recently looked for the parchment note has gradually entered a good situation, as Mr. Wang Guowei said that the ancient and modern into a great cause, the university asker, without passing through the three realms: "Last night the west wind withered the green tree." Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world. "This first realm also. "I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi. "This second realm also. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. "This third realm also. It seems that the third realm has been entered.

When I was unprepared, I quietly took out a note in the dark and looked at it, it turned out to be Nanfang Daqiao Town, it seems that Wang's predecessors are really people who value talents, so let's go to the hometown of the three champions of the Chen family to find out. Xiao Fei poked his head over to take a closer look, and said with a smile: " You are really talented in the south, these three brothers at the same time in the champion in ancient times is really unprecedented, feng shui is indeed quite good, it seems that the three brothers of the Chen family in my dynasty is really known to everyone, no one knows, even Wang Dalong seniors are not far away, thousands of miles to their hometown to visit, it seems that it is really necessary to go, and I have a fate in the capital to see Lord Chen, I feel kind, amiable, very good impression, so I can't wait to go to the place where they grew up to see it, see how the champion grows up, after getting married and having children, can also educate and educate future generations。 ”

I said with a smile: "Xiaofei, you don't have a love partner now, you actually think about it in the long run, and things like educating children are on the agenda, not bad, take precautions." Planning ahead is indeed very beneficial, success begins with planning, and without a plan you are planning to fail! I should also take a closer look and learn to learn. By the way, let me tell Xiaofei about the deeds of their three brothers in detail, so that you can have a more intuitive impression. ”

Xiao Fei said with a hippie smile: "I know this, you don't forget it every day, you are the three champions of the Chen family when you open and close your mouth, I have already done relevant work, I am familiar with ancient books, and I am familiar with it." Listen to me and see how I go?"

I smiled and said, "Then I will be respectful and obedient, and I will not say anything, and listen to me." ”

Xiao Fei said freely: "Chen Yaosuo was born in the word Tangfu, now Daqiao Town, southern Sichuan County, is an outstanding representative of your southern county outstanding people, Song Taizong Duangong two years champion, after the tired official to the prime minister. Chen Yaosuo was 29 years old and was summoned by Emperor Taizong. Chen Yaosuo is magnificent, generous and decent, and speaks clearly and eloquently when answering the emperor's inquiries. The emperor was very pleased and asked the ministers on the left and right: Who is the son of this young man? Wang Wei replied: He is the son of Chen Xinghua, the county commander of Loufu County. Taizong then summoned Chen Xinghua to Beijing to see His Majesty, and felt that Chen Xinghua was a talent, so he appointed Chen Xinghua as the crown prince. So the tiger father has no dogs, and in the future, my child will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people, sorry, too far from the topic, I still return to the topic, continue. In April of the following year, Emperor Taizong promoted Chen Xinghua and Chen Yaosuo father and son to secretary on the same day, and gave them scarlet robes to show their favor. Although the secretary is not a very high official, but the father and son are promoted to the same official on the same day and receive the same gift, which is indeed an honor for the Kuang Dynasty, so it has been passed down as a good story by people for more than a thousand years. At the age of 31, Chen Yaosu became a transfer envoy on the West Guangnan Road. Guangnan West Road is in the area of present-day Guangxi, and it was still a backward and closed place in the Song Dynasty. The climate here is hot, there are many rocks and few trees on the mountain, and it is very easy to suffer from heat stroke when working and walking in summer. The people there don't know how to dig wells, so they rely on the water accumulated when it rains, and they go to the ditch to get it, which is very unhygienic. A few years later, he greatly advocated green ecological construction, so that the barren mountains and mountains there were greened, energy conservation and environmental protection construction, so that all parts of the country were dug and built wells, which not only improved the climate, but also maintained water and soil, and people drank well water conveniently, reducing diseases. Chen Yaosu also attaches great importance to the construction of urban public facilities, telling people to build a pavilion every twenty or thirty miles next to the road, for people to take shelter from the rain and rest, in summer, the pavilion is also equipped with a tank for tea, there are drinking bowls and spoons, and the tea is supplied by the nearby villagers in turn. This measure has greatly facilitated the passage of pedestrians and merchants. At that time, the atmosphere in Lingnan was not civilized, and people only knew to pray to the gods when they were sick. Chen Yaosu attaches great importance to the development of science and medicine, persuades people to ask for medicine when they are sick, and he also collects some prescriptions for common diseases in Lingnan, and engraves them on the stone and stands beside the road, so that they can be widely disseminated. Later, when people were sick, they knew how to cure their illnesses with medicine, and many people were saved because of this. To the south of Quang Nam West Road is Cochin, which is now northern Vietnam. At that time, some people who committed murder, arson, robbery and heinous crimes in the Song Dynasty fled to Jiaozhi, and Li Huan, the king of Jiaozhi, took these people in and let them be pirates and often harassed them on the border of the Song Dynasty. The officials of the Song Dynasty also hid the criminals who fled from the Jiaozhi Kingdom and let them go to the Jiaozhi border to harass them. Chen Yaosu put forward the policy of establishing diplomatic relations with peace and friendship, and promoted the cooperation between the two countries to pursue international fugitives, believing that this would be detrimental to both countries, and he instructed the magistrates to send back all the criminals who had fled to the Song Dynasty in Jiaozhi. Li Huan, the king of Jiaozhi, was moved, and arrested all the criminals who fled to Jiaozhi from the Song Dynasty and sent them back to the Song Dynasty, successfully and effectively dealing with the problem of international fugitives, so that the borders of both sides were peaceful, and the relationship between Song and Jiaozhi became harmonious and friendly. At the age of 52, Chen Yaosu was promoted from a counselor and privy envoy to prime minister. After he became prime minister, he conscientiously studied and analyzed the social situation at that time and put forward many proposals for the benefit of the country and the people. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the bureaucracy was very large, with overlapping institutions, superfluous personnel, a lot of red tape, and very low efficiency, and many mediocre people in office. Therefore, Chen Yaosu suggested to the imperial court to "cut redundant officials, eliminate red tape, decide delays, and enlighten the best". He also advocated developing production in accordance with local conditions, strengthening the country and enriching the people. Under his push, these ideas were implemented to varying degrees.

In his later years, Chen Yaosu suffered from foot problems and had difficulty walking, so he asked to resign from the post of prime minister, but Emperor Zhenzong did not agree. Chen Yaosu took leave to recuperate at home, and Emperor Zhenzong drove to his house to visit. Later, Chen Yaosu earnestly asked for his resignation, and the emperor agreed to let him go to Heyang for a general sentence. Before he left Beijing, he went to bid farewell to the emperor in a small sedan chair. The emperor allowed his small sedan chair to be carried all the way to the palace, and asked his son to help him to the emperor, and told him not to bow down, and also gave him to sit and talk. These are very favors, and usually even the royal family can't get them. After Chen Yaosuo's death, the emperor specially dropped out of the dynasty for two days, and was given the title of "Wenzhong". Chen Yaosuo can also write good poems, and is the author of three sets and twenty volumes of "Please League", but unfortunately it has not been passed on. Therefore, Chen Yaosu is a rare literary talent for governing the country.

Three flowers bloom, one branch each, after talking about Chen Yaosuo, I will talk about the next brother Yaozuo. Chen Yaozuo is Chen Yaosu's younger brother, and Song Renzong was the prime minister at the time. Chen Yaozuo is talented and intelligent, and his father taught his brother Chen Yaosu to read before he began to study. Often Chen Yaosuo has not yet read it, but Chen Yaozuo, who is standing next to him and listening, has already memorized it. In the first year of Song Taizong's Duangong, 26-year-old Chen Yaozuo was admitted to the Jinshi, one year earlier than his brother Chen Yaosu. It's really better than blue, this is a brother, and they are all talents. After Song Zhenzong ascended the throne, he said that he would open up his speech, and repeatedly issued edicts to speak out, Chen Yaozuo criticized the evils of the times in his book, and many of the criticisms he criticized involved the emperor and the royal family, which few people dared to talk about as courtiers. Chen Yaozuo was blamed for this and was demoted to Chaozhou for a general sentence. Chaozhou is located in Lingnan, and it was still a remote and wild place in the Song Dynasty, with backward culture and ugly folk customs. When Chen Yaozuo arrived in Chaozhou, he believed that the most important thing was to civilize the people here, and to civilize the people here, the first task was to spread culture. Therefore, he prepared to build the Confucius Temple and the Hanyu Ancestral Hall, publicized the importance of learning culture, and opened some schools in various places, and worked tirelessly to mobilize non-governmental families with the ability to provide for their children to send their children to study. Through Chen Yaozuo's efforts, Chaozhou's cultural undertakings have developed greatly compared with before. The crocodile in Chaozhou is harmful, and the Tang Dynasty has it. Han Yu wrote a "Crocodile Sacrifice Text", condemning and warning the crocodile, and allowing it to leave Chaozhou within a time limit. But it's very magical, I didn't expect those crocodiles to understand human words and Chinese characters, and the crocodiles were really frightened by Han Yu, and led their kind to leave Chaozhou. However, in the Song Dynasty, the crocodiles in Chaozhou were renewed and began to do evil again, and the officials and people of Chaozhou took the crocodile as a sacred object and did not dare to offend. Determined to dispel this superstition, Chen Yaozuo organized a group of strong men to shoot many crocodiles with crossbows and arrows, and also captured several giant crocodiles with iron nets. Chen Yaozuo asked people to drag the giant crocodile to Chaozhou City and kill it in front of the people. So far, the problem of Chaozhou crocodiles has been eliminated.

Chen Yaozuo can be regarded as an expert in water control, and he has made remarkable achievements in water control many times in his life. The Qiantang River is plagued by tides, and the traditional defense method is to weave bamboo cages, and put stones in the cages to form embankments to block the tide. However, the bamboo cage broke down in a few years, the stones were scattered, and the embankment collapsed. Chen Yaozuo believes that building an embankment in this way is not only difficult to prevent, but also enough to trap the people. Through research, he proposed a plan to build an embankment with soil and bamboo. Chen Yaozuo believes that although the stones are hard, they cannot be tightly combined, and the stones are scattered when the bamboo cage is broken, and the embankment is built with soil, and the soil can be tightly combined, and then planted with trees and grass, which can play a role in protecting the berm. However, the ruling ministers of the DPRK and China thought that this was an unauthorized change of the old rules and refused to adopt them, but still used the old method to build the embankment with stones, and it could not be repaired for several years, and finally had to adopt Chen Yaozuo's suggestion, and the embankment was quickly repaired. The people in the Qiantang area were very grateful to Chen Yaozuo, built an ancestral hall for him, painted his portrait, and enshrined him. When Chen Yaozuo was 57 years old, Mrs. Feng died of illness, and according to the convention, the Chen brothers should keep filial piety for their mother for three years. However, in the second year, Li Shiheng, the third envoy, suggested to the imperial court: "Now Huazhou is preparing to repair the river embankment, Chen Yaozuo has always been good at water control, and I hope to appoint him to be in charge of this work." So the emperor issued a special edict, asking Chen Yaozuo to be exempted from keeping filial piety for his mother and to serve as the prefect of Huazhou. This situation is very special and rare, which shows the special trust and reliance of the imperial court on him. The project to control the floods in Huazhou has been completed very well, and the emperor has issued a special decree to commend him. The river embankment built by Chen Yaozuo in Huazhou is known as Chen Gong Dike, and the wooden dragon berm method created in Huazhou was still used in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, our current tofu scum project must learn from the ancients, why the things of the ancients can still stand proudly after thousands of years, instead of many unqualified buildings now sound creepy, good houses collapse when they live in them, and they collapse when they stand on good bridges, and they must reflect deeply. There is also Chen Yaozuo when he was the prefect of Shouzhou, and there was a great famine in Shouzhou. On the one hand, Chen Yaozuo reported the disaster to the imperial court, asked for tax reduction and exemption and opened a warehouse for disaster relief, and on the other hand, he donated his salary to buy rice and cook porridge to help the victims. Under his leadership, local officials and wealthy families in Shouzhou have come up with food to provide disaster relief, so that tens of thousands of victims survived. When he was serving as the transit envoy of Hedong Road, he saw that the land in this area was barren and the production was not abundant, and many people lived by mining coal and iron, and the taxes on coal and iron ore were very heavy at that time, and the people's lives were very difficult. Chen Yaozuo went to the imperial court to ask for exemption from the coal tax and the reduction of the iron tax, which was approved by the imperial court. In this way, the tax on coal, coal and iron will be reduced by hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year. When Chen Yaozuo was serving as the Hedong and Hebei transit envoys, he mobilized the masses to dig the Taihang Mountain roads in the areas of Zezhou and Huaizhou, and connected the roads in the dangerous areas of the Taihang Mountains, which was not only conducive to the state's transportation of materials, but also facilitated non-governmental exchanges, transportation, and production. At the age of 67, Chen Yaozuo was appointed as the governor of the council, that is, the deputy prime minister, and at the age of 75, he was used by Song Renzong as the prime minister. Chen Yaozuo is generous, simple in government, and frugal and simple in life. If there are any damaged utensils in the house, he will be repaired, and he is a rare good official who loves the country and the people, and is honest and upright.

In the end, this handsome guy who appeared on the stage is Chen Yaozhi, we are most familiar with it, but we are fortunate to witness the reality of the scene of the oil seller.

Chen Yaozhi was the champion of Song Zhenzong Xianping for three years, and later became a scholar of Hanlin and a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and a doctor of the right counselor. Like his two elder brothers, Chen Yaosu and Chen Yaozuo, Chen Yaozhi received a good and strict education from his father and mother since he was a child. Somehow, his two elder brothers have always been praised by people, but he had a lot of problems when he was young, and he was a naughty child who was late in civilization, Ouyang Xiu told the story exactly the same as the last time we saw it, Chen Yaozhi shot arrows on the shooting range at home, and nine times out of ten he hit the red heart on the target. The onlookers continued to applaud, except for the old man, who nodded slightly. Chen Yao asked the old man, "Do you think my archery skills are not very good?" The old man said, "It's nothing, it's just that I know it by hand." Chen Yao's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "How dare you despise my archery skills!" The old man said, "Please watch me pour oil into the gourd." It turned out that the old man was selling oil, so he took a gourd and put it on the ground, covered the mouth of the gourd with a small coin, and then scooped out the oil from the oil basket with a spoon, and slowly poured the oil into the gourd from the money hole. The onlookers and the young and frivolous Chen Yaozhi were dumbfounded, but the old man smiled and said: It's nothing, it's just familiar. So this incident is a turning point, and it is a lesson for Chen Yaozhi, and he will no longer be so arrogant and arrogant. At the age of 31, he also won a great victory in autumn and won high school. Therefore, blessings lie in favor of misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessings. The world is impermanent, changing rapidly, and what seems to be a bad thing can be turned into a good thing. Then Chen Yaozhi was really an unlucky child, and began to make trouble one after another, his life was destined to be a wonderful life of ups and downs, the experience was extremely rich, breathtaking, he was not long in office, and he made a serious mistake. In the third year of Song Zhenzong's Jingde, Chen Yaozhi became the examiner of the Jinshi examination. Liu Shidao, the younger brother of his friend Liu Shidao, also took the exam this year, Liu Shidao came to Chen Yaozhi to help his younger brother pass the exam, Chen Yaozhi was a person who inserted a knife in the ribs for his friend, not the person who inserted a friend twice, and his brotherhood was deep, and he was angry, and he agreed in a daze. The cheating method they discussed was to let Liu Jidao make a secret mark in the test paper, but who knew that the matter was exposed, and Chen Yaozhi was convicted and demoted. After Chen Yaoshi returned home after his term as the prefect of Jingnan, his mother, Mrs. Feng, asked him: What are your achievements as the prefect of Jingnan? Chen Yaoshi said: There are many officials who come and go from Jingnan, and there are often banquets to welcome and send them. I often perform my archery skills at banquets for the guests to admire, and there is no one who does not admire my magic arrows. His mother said angrily: You are not diligent in government and love the people, but you like to show off your magic arrows, is this in line with your father's teachings? The more Mrs. Feng spoke, the more angry she became, and she raised her staff and struck at Chen Yaozhi, smashing the goldfish that Chen Yaozhi was wearing. Through these lessons, Chen Yaozhi had a very positive change, and later did a lot of things that were beneficial to the country and the people. Chen Yaozhi once served in the Ministry of Officials, which is responsible for assessing the performance of officials and determining the promotion and promotion of officials. Some local officials have political achievements and talents, but their status is low, and the DPRK and China have no backers, so it is very difficult for such people to have a chance of promotion. Chen Yaozhi paid attention to discovering these talents and recommended them to the imperial court, and many such people were promoted because of Chen Yaozhi's recommendation. In the second year of Song Zhenzong's Tianxi, the emperor sent Chen Yaozhi to participate in the examination papers of the Jinshi examination. In the third year of Tianxi, someone exposed Qian Weiyin's unfair evaluation of officials, and the emperor ordered Chen Yaozhi to participate in the review of Qian Weiyin's evaluation. Judging from the above incidents, Chen Yaozhi has indeed corrected his mistakes, strictly enforced the law, and been fair and selfless. Therefore, people are not saints and sages, as long as they can change their evil and return to righteousness, they are still good comrades, just like me Xiaofei, in order to live, I had to force Liangshan to go to Liangshan and embark on the disgraceful road of stealing chickens and dogs, but I lost my way and realized that I had returned, washed my hands in a golden basin, changed my past wrongs, and said goodbye to the past completely, so I Xiaofei is a rare good comrade who knows his mistakes and changes them in general with Chen Yaozhi.

Chen Yao was able to write and martial arts, so the imperial court sent him as a military governor several times. When he knew the Yongxing Military Mansion, he did a great deed, and he guided the water of the dragon's first canal into the city for civilian use. Yongxing Prefecture is now Xi'an, the Yongxing area is full of saline-alkali land, groundwater is not suitable for drinking, Chen Yaozhi organized the military and civilians to introduce the water of Longshou Canal into the city, to solve the people's draft problem. This was done very well, and the emperor issued an edict to reward it. There was also the last time the children of the nobles in the capital, the landlords and bullies bullied us, arrogant and lawless, relying on the ancestors to have a country and run rampant, the magistrate was helpless to them, and Chen Yaozhi deliberately invited him to the mansion, first received him very politely, and then said sternly with a straight face: You will not have a good result after all. Your father and I are like brothers, and today I will teach you in his place. So he was beaten severely, Lord Chen Yaozhi enforced the law impartially, was not afraid to go to the powerful, and fought for us, and since then those noble children in the capital have been deterred, and there are many rules. In his later years, Chen Yaozhi was sent to Tianxiong as a military commander. Tianxiong was an important frontier area of the Northern Song Dynasty, close to the Liao State. When Chen Yaoshi arrived there, he saw that the city wall had not been repaired for many years, and it had been damaged, and the city defense facilities and weapons were also dilapidated. He believed that there was a strong enemy in the north, and that it was very dangerous to be careless, so he repaired, rectified, and perfected these problems one by one, thus greatly strengthening the border defense forces. Therefore, I think it is necessary to compile the deeds of these officials who were worried about the country and the people in ancient times, who were conscientious, diligent, honest and diligent, into a book, so that all the officials in our modern society can have a book and brainwash well, so that our country will have fewer officials who are full of self-pockets, corrupt and bribe-taking, and prey on the common people, and there will be more good officials who really work for the welfare of the people. ”

I was overjoyed, clapped my hands and applauded: "Yes, Xiaofei, you really spoke so well, it seems that you have done enough homework, and you have done your homework in an orderly and well-organized manner, with clear layers and full strength, so that the deeds of the three Chen brothers are vivid and vivid, making their tall and majestic image more vivid and plump. So it is indeed beneficial to open the book, you must read more, so the first emperor Zhao Heng's "Encouragement of Learning" is indeed very well written - rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book. There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and reads the Pentateuch to the window. ”
