Zhu Tiju supervised disaster relief

The weak woman is steadfast and unyielding

After a while, Yang Yuandao came, and every time they got together, they always had to chat alone, communicate with each other, and talk about life. This time, it was no exception.

Third brother, I drank the wine at noon, thank you.

The fourth brother, his own brother, don't see outside. Hey, that yellow warbler is good, charming and charming, and can sing and dance.

is indeed lovely, but it's a pity that he is in the prostitution door.

However, he is weak and has not been involved deeply, so he may not have broken the melon yet. How about taking her as a concubine for your brother?

Zu Liang hurriedly got up and said: Thank you for your concern, I can't help it. Thinking of me Fan, I am close to the year of establishment, and my name has not been accomplished, how can I have the heart to hide Jiao.

However, does the fourth brother love her? In the vast sea of people, it is rare to meet your beloved, and if you miss it, you will regret it.

Brother Ren's words are wrong. I met her in Pingshui and had a good feeling, I couldn't talk about love, and I was far away from talking about marriage. Besides, there are many good girls, how can you see one and love another?

Brothers, you say and I answer, but I am sincere.

After being silent for a while, Zu Liang opened a new topic.

Third brother, you say, how to be a successful person? What does it mean to be successful?

Why did the fourth brother ask this?

When he was sleeping in the afternoon, he dreamed of his father, and before he died, he instructed him to be a useful person to society, useful to society, and did not need to succeed?

Oh, I see. The problem you mentioned is relatively big, and I can't say it very clearly. "Zuo Biography" has a cloud: "There is great virtue, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time." That is to say, to be a successful person, the most important thing is to cultivate self-cultivation and morality, virtue all over the world, and convince people with virtue! The second is to make meritorious contributions to the country and the family, and only by performing can you serve the court! Secondly, if you devote yourself to writing poems and lyrics, or study the scriptures and history, and have a lot of experience, print it into a book, form a work and pass it on to future generations, it is eternal immortal, no matter how long time passes, people will not forget your spirit!

Oh, that is to say, if a person wants to be successful, he must make achievements in three aspects, be a model for people: morality, meritorious service, and speech.

Yes, however, it is not easy to do a good job in morality, merit, and speech, as long as it is

Do it well in one of these areas, and that's it.

Virtue, blessing, grace also, for the benefit of the people, saving the people from fire and water, this is the matter of emperors and generals, saints and sages, and the establishment of meritorious deeds, laying the foundation, but also depends on status, timing and talent, are not mortals want to do it. Standing up, that is, writing books and sayings, becoming a family of their own, educating the people, just like the ancestors, this article, as long as ordinary people persevere, may be able to do it.

The children can be taught! Yuan Dao jumped for joy.

There are a lot of famous Confucians who speak today.

Yes, in terms of poetry and literature, there are Yang Chengzhai, Lu Wuguan, Fan Shibo, Xin Youan, Chen Tongfu, etc., and in the study of Confucian and Taoist classics, there are Zhu Yuanhui, Lu Xiangshan, Lu Donglai, Ye Shuixin and so on.

I especially admire the latter. Their theories are so profound. By the way, Brother Yuan Daoren, do you know these people?

I only know Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xiangshan.

I know Chen Tongfu and Tang Youzheng. But they're all gone, so let's talk about them, what's the matter?

Well, you say it first.

I came to Wuzhou in the fourteenth year of Chunxi (1187) and served as the state yamu, and it has been ten years since then. Later, he got along with Tang Cheng, the state secretary. This Tang Cheng is Mr. Saidzhai, that is, the nephew of Tang Zhongyou, the governor of Qiantai Prefecture.

If you want to talk about this Mr. Zhai, I only know one or two, and many of them were told to me by Tang Cheng. For example, the case of Tang Zhongyou and the prostitute Yan Rui weathering.

Oh, let's hear it.

In the eighth year of Chunxi (1181), Zhu Xi served as the official secretary of Changping tea and salt in eastern Zhejiang, and served as the supervisor of the road, in charge of river dredging, the implementation of the Changping law, and the monopoly of tea and salt. This year, eastern Zhejiang suffered a flood disaster that had not been encountered in a century, and the people sold their fields and demolished their houses, and they were starved and destitute. Zhu Cangsi was assigned by the imperial court to inspect and supervise the disaster relief situation in various prefectures and counties.

Along the way, seeing the walls collapsed, the houses collapsed, and the farmland barren, the adults suddenly felt pity. As a result, the supervision work is dedicated and quite rigorous. Which state and county can't do well and can't do it well, he is unceremonious. At least they will be reprimanded on the spot, and at worst, they will be impeached.

At that time, Mr. Zhai was in office in Zhitaizhou, and he had done a little work, however, it was inevitable that Baimi would be neglected, and there were deficiencies in the state government's affairs and famine relief, and the officials and civilians under his rule would also have dissatisfaction, so the Lord took this as a typical example, and played six times in a row within two months, and handed over the chapter to impeach, the purpose was to beat Tang Zhizhou to death with a stick.

It is said that there are dozens of states and counties under the jurisdiction of Liangzhejiang East Road, and there is more than one person similar to Tang Zhongyou. But why did Kuraji-sama chase and beat him so hard that he wanted to put him to death and then hurry up? There are two hidden secrets:

First, Zhu Tang and the two have always had a vendetta. Zhu Fuzi has always greatly admired Zhou Cheng Lixue, and after years of study, his theory has been promoted to form a complete system, which is known to everyone in this dynasty, and has a lot of influence, so that he is called a sage, and his students are all over the court and the opposition. In the area of Wuzhou in eastern Zhejiang, Lu Zuqian, Jiayue, Chen Liang and other celebrities also have their doctrines, which are their own school, and the knowledge is called Wuxue, and the theory is called Yongjia Gongxue. Tang Zhongyou is a backbone of the Yongjia School. Zhu Fuzi has always been self-respecting, and he is very considerate of the study of merit and Lu Xiangshan's mind, and he has a lot of criticism; And Tang Zhongyou also disagreed with Cheng Zhu Lixue, ridiculing him for being trivial and esoteric, and detached from reality. This is a manifestation of the contempt of the literati.

Moreover, Zhu Xi likes to sell his reputation and reputation, knowing that Wang Huai, the prime minister of the dynasty, is Tang's in-laws, and many ministers in Kyoto defend Tang, but still prefer Hushan. I want to win the reputation of eliminating traitors for the people and not being afraid of the powerful. In order to start this wishful thinking, although there is no empirical evidence of Lord Tang's greed in his hand, he still holds on to it, trying to tear a gap from a weak girl. Therefore, he did not hesitate to torture Yan Rui, a prostitute in Taizhou, causing Yan Rui to be bruised all over his body and die nine times for life. Just imagine, once he confirms Tang's crimes, not only will Tang not be able to turn over from now on, but even Prime Minister Wang Huai and those important ministers who defended Tang will not be able to escape the responsibility of protection.

The dignified local officials and a generation of Confucians, for their own selfishness, are so vicious, it can be seen that they are not loyal and kind.

Unexpectedly, Yan Rui, who came from a humble background, was a woman with backbone and responsibility, who didn't say anything, and refused to admit that she had a personal affair with Lord Tang, as well as other problems. made Zhu Ti at a loss.

This incident caused an uproar and shocked the government and the public. The end result is ridiculous. Tang Zhongyou could not escape the blame, resigned and returned to his hometown, Zhu Tiju made a big fuss, did not please both sides, and resigned in a gloomy manner. It was Yan Rui who won the victory, she won the pity and admiration of everyone, and the song "Fortune Operator" also became famous in one fell swoop.

So Tang Yan and the others, do they have a personal relationship between men and women? Although Yan Rui only admitted that the two were just singing poetry and harmony, the literati cherished each other. Be affectionate, stop reason; But in fact, before the incident, Tang Zhongyou, as the governor of the state, lifted the music status of Yan Rui, Wei Hui and other four courtesans and restored their freedom. It is conceivable that there is a personal relationship between the two of them, and there are elements of affection and sympathy.

After resigning and returning to his hometown, Tang Zhongyou broke away from officialdom and devoted himself to studying and engraving books. Once, I went to Jinhua Dongxi with Tang Cheng to see him, with a modest attitude, like a loyal elder. Take us to visit his engraving bookstore, relish the art of book engraving, never say anything about officialdom, and look like a calligrapher. The engraved books include "Xunzi", "Yang Zi Fa Yan", "Hou Dian Li Fu" and "Mr. Chang Li's Collection", all of which are engraved treasures and are widely circulated.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Chunxi (1188), Mr. Zhai died at the age of fifty. I went to Jinhua Dongxi again to see him off for the last time.

Afterwards, Tang Cheng gave me a set of "Sayings and Essays". is still angry with Zhu Xi, thinking that if it wasn't for Zhu Xi's repeated impeachment, his second uncle would definitely not be like this.
