He is a solid and upright person and can write at the age of seven. He was good at regular script and official script calligraphy.

In the early years of his reign, he was promoted to Minister of Rites and presided over the imperial examination.

Someone framed him and the emperor became angry. Twelve of them were expelled and Wen Sou was demoted to Prince Zhan Shi. In fact, Wen Sou had no selfish intentions. In the following years, those who were expelled successively passed the exam.

In the early Song Dynasty, the reform was carried out. In the ninth year of Jianlong, he was appointed as the censor Zhongcheng. After his mother died, he retired to Xiluo. In the third year of Jianlong, he also served as the official of the official department. > One night when he went home and passed by the palace, Taizu happened to go to the west tower of Mingde Gate with a few people from Zhonghuang Gate. The attendant on horseback in front of Wen Sou secretly knew about it and told him to go as usual when passing through the palace. Calling.

During the court meeting the next day, Wen Sou said in detail: "If the master goes up to the tower at an inappropriate time, then the ministers hope to receive grace and forgiveness, and the guarding troops also hope to receive rewards. The reason why I yelled to clear the way through the palace was to hint to everyone that His Majesty would not climb the stairs at certain times. "

Taizu thought he was doing the right thing. According to the old rules of the Yushi Mansion, the public tea was rewarded every month, and the Yushi Zhongcheng received 10,000 yuan. If the public consumption was insufficient, he would be fined to make up for it.

Wen The old man hated the reputation of being fined and refused to use it. During the 12th year of his tenure as Taicheng, Taizu had difficulty finding a suitable candidate and refused to accept him. He was rewarded with ritual objects, jade and silk, and died a few months later at the age of sixty-three.

When Taizong was the king of Jin, he heard that he was upright and upright, so he sent someone to give him five hundred thousand in money. After accepting it, he stored it in the west room of the hall and ordered the officials to seal it and seal it before leaving. On the Dragon Boat Festival the next year, Taizong sent people to send rice dumplings and fans again. The person he sent happened to be the person who sent money last year.

Seeing that Xishe’s seal was still there, he told Taizong when he came back: “He doesn’t use my money, let alone other people’s money. He accepted it before because he didn't want to reject me; now that he has not unsealed it for a year, his integrity becomes more obvious. "

He ordered the officials to carry the items back. In the autumn of this year, Taizong served Taizu at a banquet in Houyuan. When talking about the famous Qingjie people in the world, he described Liu Wensou's previous life in detail. Taizu admired this thing again and again.

In the early years of Yongxi's reign, his son Liu Wei was dismissed from Xuzhou's inspection and promotion official position and was waiting for election. Because his family was poor, he went to the court (Deng Wengu) to ask for review of his qualifications and achievements. When the emperor came to see him, Taizong asked him whose son he was.

The answer is Liu Wensou (son). Taizong was very sad, summoned the prime minister to talk about him (Liu Zhen), and said that there are few ministers today who can compare with him (Liu Wensou).

So he asked him: "What official should Liu Zheng serve?" The prime minister said: "It is a kindness to be exempted from waiting for election." Taizong said: "His father has an honest integrity and appointed his son to the court. Being an official is to express encouragement."

Promote Liu Zheng to the title of Prince Youzanshan. Liu Wensou's other two sons, Liu Bing and Liu Ye, both passed the Jinshi examination.
