When leaving, Pang Conggong said to the King of Wei: "If someone came to report now: 'Oh no, a tiger has appeared in the market and is biting people everywhere!' Would the King believe it?" King Wei said: "I don't believe it. "Pang Gong said: "If a second person comes and reports that there is a tiger in the market, can the king believe it?" King Wei said: "Then I will be a little suspicious." Pang Gong said: "If after a while, a third person comes and says: There is a tiger in the market. Do you believe it?" King Wei said: "Of course I will believe it." "Pang Gong continued: "There are obviously no tigers in the market, and everyone knows that there can be no tigers in the market, but 'three people's words will make a tiger'. Now I am going to Handan (the capital of Zhao State). It is much further away from Daliang (the capital of Wei State) than here. After I go, there will definitely be more than three people who slander me. I hope your Majesty will be aware of this!" King Wei said reluctantly: "I understand you. That's what it means, you can go with the prince at ease!" Not long after Pang Gong went to Zhao, someone actually said bad things about him in front of the King of Wei.

After Pang Gong returned from Handan, he really lost the trust of King Wei and was never summoned by King Wei again. 3. "The Biography of Lu Jun" in classical Chinese

——Volume 177 of "Old Book of Tang" [Explanation] Lu Jun (778-864), courtesy name Zihe, was born in Lantian, Jingzhao (now Lantian, Shaanxi) .

At that time, Wenzong served as Zuo Buque, Gishizhong, Huazhou governor (the seat of governance is now Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province), and Lingnan Jiedu envoy (the seat of governance is now Guangzhou, Guangdong); Wuzong was then the governor of Shannan East Road (the seat of governance is now Xiangfan, Hubei), Zhaoyi Jiedushi (the seat of governance is now Changzhi, Shanxi); Xuanzong then served as the Jiedushi of Xuanwu (the seat of governance is now Kaifeng, Henan), and the Jiedushi of Hedong (the seat of governance is now Taiyuan, Shanxi), and entered the dynasty For Shangshu Zuopushe. After being squeezed out by the prime minister Ling Huqiu, he served as the governor of Shannan West Road (the administrative seat is now Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province). Yizong died in the early years of his life.

Lu Jun served as several military governors and had many political achievements. Especially during his tenure as the military governor of Lingnan, he did not become as greedy for money as his predecessor. He was an honest man in government and handed over the post of "Shipping Envoy", which had direct jurisdiction over foreign merchant ships, to the Envoy Supervising the Military, and he never interfered.

Lu Jun was a relatively honest military envoy in the late Tang Dynasty who governed Guangzhou. Lu Jun, named Zihe, was originally from Fanyang.

My grandfather is Lu Ling and my father is Lu Ji. Lu Jun passed the imperial examination in the fourth year of Yuanhe. He also took the examination for the "calligraphy appraisal" subject, was transferred to the school as a scholar, and successively served as an assistant to the princes and shogunate.

In the fifth year of Emperor Wenzong's reign, he was promoted to Zuo Buque. He became famous for complaining about Song Shin-seok's injustice with his colleagues.

After being appointed as Shangshu Lang, he was appointed governor of Changzhou. In the ninth year, he paid homage to Shizhong.

In the first year of Kaicheng, he also served as the governor of Huazhou, the defense of Tongguan, and the envoy to the national army. In the winter of this year, he replaced Li Congyi as the governor of Guangzhou, the imperial censor, and the military governor of Lingnan.

The South China Sea has the advantage of trafficking by foreign ships, and rare goods gather there. The old Jiedu envoys tried their best to make profits and get rich. Those who guarded the South China Sea all packed ships and returned to the capital with their belongings.

Lu Jun had a kind and forgiving temperament and was honest in government. He asked the military envoy to serve as the city's shipping envoy and did not interfere at all. Since the Zhenyuan period, the guilty ministers who were exiled to Lingnan died and their descendants were impoverished.

Look at Que, even if he encounters an amnesty, he can't return to Beijing by himself. For those who lived in Lingnan, Lu Jun reduced his salary to run small coffins for them; if there was a death or illness in the family, he would provide medicine and arrange funerals for them; if there were orphans, he would arrange marriages for them and provide services to hundreds of families.

Therefore, the common people in Shanyue admired his virtue and righteousness, and even though he was not strict, everyone became accommodating. After three years of service, the general was replaced. Thousands of Chinese barbarians went to the Yamen to build a shrine for Lu Jun and engrave his merits and virtues.

In the past, natives, barbarians and officials lived together and arranged marriages with each other. When officials sometimes obstructed them, they would incite each other to rebel. After Lu Jun took office, he enacted laws that separated the Chinese from the barbarians and prevented them from marrying. The barbarians were not allowed to own fields and houses, so the foreign countries were purged and did not invade each other.

In the early years of Huichang, he moved to be the governor of Xiangzhou and the governor of Shannan East Road. In the fourth year, Liu Zhen was executed, and Lu Jun was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the School of Inspection, the Chief of the Governor's Office of Luzhou, Zhaoyi Jiedu, Zelu Xingxun Mingci Observer and other envoys.

In the winter of this year, Lu Jun was ordered by imperial edict to send 5,000 Zelu troops to defend the north. Lu Jun went up to the city gate to send money to the garrison soldiers, while their family members gathered to watch.

Zelu's army has always been arrogant. Because he said goodbye to his family, he turned drunk and turned back to attack the city gate. The imperial edict ordered Lu Jun to enter the dynasty, serve as the minister of household affairs, judge the branch, and be promoted to minister of household affairs.

In the early years of Dazhong, Lu Jun served as the inspector of the school, Youpuse, the governor of Bianzhou, the imperial censor, the governor of Xuanwu Army, and the observer of Song Hao and Bianying. During his tenure, he was also an official inspector of the school. Sikong. In the fourth year, he entered the imperial court and served as the prince's young master. He was promoted to Zhuguo, granted the title of Duke of Fanyang County, and granted food to 2,000 households.

In the sixth year, he was again appointed as Inspector Sikong, Taiyuan Yin, Beidu left-behind, and Hedong Jiedushi. In the ninth year, an edict was issued saying: "Lu Jun, the governor of the Hedong Army, is old, talented, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and broad-minded.

He contains the aura of mountains and rivers, and has the ability to govern. . You are versatile but never show off, and your behavior is more prominent.

From Lingnan to Taiyuan, the voice of benevolence filled the road, and I hope you will be more harmonious when you are in power. Don't let the breeze in Tai Pavilion always exist. You should be promoted to the position of prime minister and serve as an example for other officials.

You can be awarded the title of Shangshu Zuopushe. "Lu Jun has served in the central and local governments and has made many achievements.

The younger generation has many officials and high positions. When he was urgently recruited into the court this time, he thought he should be the prime minister. Although he was appointed as a minister, he was particularly disappointed.

So he often claimed to be ill and stayed away from work. He would play with relatives and old friends in the villa in the south of the city, and sometimes he would only come back for a few days. Prime Minister Linghu Xuan disliked him, so he was dismissed as a servant and archer, but he was still promoted to the Inspector of Schools and the Grand Master of the Crown Prince.

Public opinion believed that Lu Jun was an elder and condemned Linghu Qi for abusing his power. Linghu was afraid, so in September of the eleventh year, he appointed Lu Jun as the inspector of the school, Tongzhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, Xingyuan Yin, and the governor of Shannan West Road.

He entered the court and served as the crown prince and grand master, and passed away. (Translated by Huang Zhengjian) [Original text] Lu Jun, courtesy name Zihe, was born in Fanyang.

Zu Jiong, succeeded by his father. Jun, in the fourth year of Yuanhe, he was promoted to Jinshi. He was also outstanding in writing and writing, and he was transferred to the school to serve as a scholar and assistant to the princes.

In the fifth year of Taihe, he moved to the left to repair the que. Song Shenxi, who was in charge of the same post, was in vain, so he became famous.

Li Shangshulang was appointed as the governor of Changzhou. In the ninth year, I prayed to Shizhong.

In the first year of Kaicheng, he served as the governor of Huazhou, the defense of Tongguan, and the national army. In the winter of that year, he replaced Li Congyi as the governor of Guangzhou, the imperial censor, and the military envoy of Lingnan.

The South China Sea has the advantage of having wild ships and rare goods. The old commander used his methods to make profits and get rich. Anyone who went to the South China Sea would return without being bundled up.

Jun was benevolent and forgiving, and he was honest in government. He asked the supervisors, military leaders, market leaders, and envoys to refrain from intervening. Since the Zhenyuan period, the clothes and clothes have offended those who were exiled to Lingbiao. As a result, their belongings have been lost, and their descendants are poor and haggard. Even if they are pardoned, they cannot return it themselves.

For those who are in the feudal territory, Jun will reduce their salary to provide camp tents. If the family suffers from illness, death, or funeral, they will be provided with medicine and funeral services. Orphans and young girls will be provided with marriages, for hundreds of families.

Due to the custom of Shanyue, we obey its virtues and principles, and the orders are not strict and humanized. In the third year of the general's reign, thousands of Chinese people came to Yique to erect a shrine to commemorate their merits and virtues.

First, the natives and the barbarians lived together, and they married and married each other. The officials sometimes disturbed them and induced each other to cause chaos. At the end of Junzhi, legislation was enacted to allow Chinese barbarians to live in different places. Marriage and marriage were blocked, and barbarians were not allowed to establish fields or houses. This way, foreigners could be purged without infringing upon each other.

At the beginning of Huichang, he moved to Xiangzhou to serve as the governor and the governor of Shannan East Road. In the fourth year, Liu Zhen was executed, and Jun was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs of the school, and also served as the governor of Luzhou, the governor of Luzhou, Zhaoyi Jiedu, Zelu Xingmingci and other envoys.

It was winter, and Zhaojun sent out five thousand Lu troops to garrison the north. Junsheng sent farewell to the city gate and set up a watchtower at his home.

Sujiao, a soldier of Lu, rebelled while drunk and attacked the city gate because he had to say goodbye to his family. The supervisory army refused with the state soldiers, and it was not decided until late at night.

Zhaojun entered the dynasty, paid homage to the minister of household affairs, judged the branch, and moved to the minister of household affairs. At the beginning of junior high school, he inspected the school.

Luo Shaowei, a native of Guixiang, Weizhou.

His father, Luo Hongxin, whose real name was Luo Zongben, started out as a horse herder and served under the military governor Le Yanzhen. In the last years of Guangqi's reign, Le Yanzhen's son Le Congxun became too arrogant and arrogant. He gathered troops and wanted to destroy Weizhou Yajun.

The Ya army was furious and gathered to attack him. Le Congxun fled and took up residence in Xiangzhou. The Yajun deposed Le Yanzhen and imprisoned him in Longxing Temple. They forced him to become a monk and soon killed him. They recommended Zhao Wenjian of the junior high school to stay in the post.

Previously, Luo Hongxin himself said that he met an old man with a white beard where he lived and said to him: "You will become the owner of a land." I had this dream twice and felt weird in my heart. .

Soon Zhao Wenjian was at odds with the army. The Ya army gathered together and shouted, "Who wants to be the military envoy?" Luo Hongxin immediately responded, "The old man with a white beard told me a long time ago that he can be your governor." "The emperor." In April of the first year of Wende in the Tang Dynasty (888), the Ya army elected Luo Hongxin as a post in Weizhou.

After hearing the news, the imperial court officially awarded him the title of Jieyan. During the Qianning period, Taizu made an urgent attack on Yanzhou and Yunzhou, and King Zhu Xuan asked for help from Taiyuan. At this time, Li Keyong sent General Li Cunxin to lead his troops to help, borrowing roads from Weizhou, and stationed in Shen County.

Li Cunxin led the troops without any rules and kept expropriating Weizhou's cattle and horses. Luo Hongxin was not satisfied with this. Taizu took the opportunity to send an envoy to Luo Hongxin and said, "The Jin people in Taiyuan are determined to annex Heshuo. When they return to the army, your way will be very worried."

Luo Hongxin felt scared, so he and Taizu made a good alliance and sent 30,000 troops to attack Li Cunxin and defeated him. Soon, Li Keyong led troops to attack Weizhou and camped outside Guanyin Gate. Most of the cities in Weizhou were captured by the Jin army.

Taizu sent Ge Congzhou to rescue Luo Hongxin, fought with the Jin army at Huan River, and captured Li Keyong's son Luoluo alive and presented him to him. Taizu ordered Luoluo to be given to Luo Hongxin, and Luo Hongxin killed him. , the Jin army retreated. At this time, Taizu was trying to capture Yanzhou and Yunzhou. He was worried that Luo Hongxin would betray him, so he gave him property every year and festival. His words must be humble and his gifts rich.

Every time Luo Hongxin returned a gift, Taizu would bow to the north in front of Weizhou envoys and accept it, saying: "Sixth brother is an elder brother twice as old as me. In a country of brothers, how can we accept it?" He can be treated with the courtesy of his neighbors." So Luo Hongxin thought that Taizu thought highly of him.

Later, Luo Hongxin became a senior official and became a prefect of the school, and was named the King of Linqing. He died in office in August of the first year of Guanghua (898).

After Luo Shaowei inherited his father's position and called himself Weizhouliu, the imperial court appointed him by the way, and then officially awarded him the Yanjie ax and axe, and was named the captain of the school inspection, concurrently serving as a lieutenant, and the prince of Changsha. When Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty moved eastward to Luoyang, Taizu ordered all the Taoists to build Luoyi, while Luo Shaowei built the Ancestral Temple alone. The imperial edict granted him the title of Guardian and the title of King of Ye.

At the beginning, during the Zhide period, Tian Chengsi stole and occupied the six states of Xiang, Wei, Chan, Bo, Wei, and Bei, recruited young men in the army, and placed them under his subordinates, called "Ya Army". They all provided generous rewards, which made the Yajun extremely proud. As time goes by, father and son have inherited the family, and the relations between relatives and party members are strong. The violent people robbed and violated the law, and the officials could not stop them.

It’s like child’s play for the Yajun to change their coaches at will. Starting from Tian’s time, in the past two hundred years, the dismissal and establishment of coaches were all at the hands of the Yajun, such as Shi Xiancheng, He Quanbaigao, Han Jun Xiong and Le Yanzhen were both supported by them. If their preferential treatment and rewards were not satisfactory, their whole family would be executed. Luo Shaowei suffered from the shortcomings caused by the Yajun in the past. Although he tried to accommodate them by buying them property, he was dissatisfied with them in his heart.

In the first month of the second year after Luo Shaowei succeeded his father, Liu Rengong of Youzhou gathered one hundred thousand troops to disrupt Heshuo, attack and occupy Beizhou, and march directly to Weizhou. Luo Shaowei asked Taizu for help, and Taizu sent Li Sian to assist him and stationed at Huan River. Ge Congzhou led troops from Xingzhou and Puming Prefecture into Weizhou. Yan Army generals Liu Shouwen and Shan Keji fought with Taizu's army in Neihuang. , the Yan army was defeated, and Taizu's army took advantage of the victory to pursue it.

Encountering Ge Cong, Zhou also sent troops to cover the attack and defeated the Yan army. More than 30,000 people were beheaded.

In the third year, Luo Shaowei sent envoys to join Taizu's army and attack Cangzhou together to repay Taizu. From then on, Luo Shaowei was grateful for Taizu's help, deeply admired and attached to him.

Luo Shaowei saw the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the heroes were in chaos, and Taizu's military strength was stronger than the world. He knew that he must have the intention of accepting Zen as the emperor, so he wholeheartedly relied on him to achieve his career, and often Worried about an accident in the Yajun army, I felt uneasy. In the early years of the day, the ground in the city was sinking for no reason. Soon Li Gongquan of the primary school planned a rebellion. Luo Shaowei was even more frightened, so he decided to get rid of the Ya army and sent an envoy to tell Taizu to ask him to be a foreign aid.

Taizu agreed to him and sent Li Sian to attack Cangzhou again together with Wei Bozhen's army. Prior to this, Princess Anyang passed away in Weizhou. Taizu took the opportunity to send Ma Sixun from the Changzhi Military Academy to select a thousand soldiers, hide the weapons in huge bags, and carry them into Weizhou on shoulder carts, saying that he was sponsoring the funeral of Princess Anyang. .

On the fifth day of the first month of the third year of Tian.. (906), Taizu personally led the army across the Yellow River and claimed to inspect the camps in Cangzhou and Jingzhou. The Ya army was very suspicious of his actions. On the 16th of this month, Luo Shaowei led hundreds of slave servants and Ma Sixun to attack the Yajun. At that time, more than a thousand Yajun living in Yacheng were all killed at dawn. Eight thousand families were killed. The clan was exterminated and the state and city were emptied.

The next day, Taizu rushed from Neihuang to Yezhou. At that time, the Wei army of 20,000 people was encircling Cangzhou together with the imperial army. When they heard that something happened in the city of Weizhou, the Wei army supported the general Shi Renyu to defend Gaotang. All the six states were powerful enemies. Taizu sent his generals to attack them. It took half a year to calm down.

From then on, although Luo Shaowei eliminated the tooth army that forced him, he immediately regretted weakening his own strength. Within a few months, another Battle of Fuyang occurred. Luo Shaowei's flying carriages fed and transported military supplies, traveling five hundred miles from Yedu to Changlu. The carriages and tracks overlapped and continued along the road.

He also established the Marshal's Mansion in Weizhou and set up pavilions along the road to provide livestock prisons, wine supplies, military tents, and weapons. Taizu's entire army of hundreds of thousands of people was not lacking in all military supplies. When Taizu came back from Changlu and passed through Weizhou again, Luo Shaowei took the opportunity to say to Taizu: "...zhou, Qixia, and Taiyuan finally have arrogant and cunning intentions, each in the name of reviving the Tang Dynasty royal family. The king should do it himself Seizing state power in order to cut off other people's attempts to give it to God is something that the ancients criticized."

Taizu was deeply grateful to him. When Taizu ascended the throne, Luo Shaowei was granted the title of Taifu and Zhongshu Ling, and was given the title of "He who helped the sky to bring good luck and made great contributions to the festival."

When the emperor was about to enter Luoyang, Luo Shaowei was ordered to rebuild the Wufeng Tower and Chaoyuan Hall. The huge timber and exquisite craftsmen were not available at that time, and the construction was sudden. 6. Translation of the classical Chinese text "Ding Yishi"

Ding Yishi

Original text

There is Ding Yishi in it, who is agile and powerful, and also learns martial arts and is superb. The art of distance. It is two or three feet high, and can be climbed up gracefully; two or three feet wide, it can be crossed gracefully. I still saw him when I was young and wanted to see his skills. As soon as Yu is standing in the hall, if he is facing the front door, then the outside of the front door is facing him; if he is facing the back door, then the outside of the back door is facing him. This is the case for seven or eight degrees. Gai flew over the roof in one leap. After passing through Dulin Town, I met a friend and invited him to drink in a wine shop by the bridge. Drunken and drunken, sex stands on the river bank. A friend asked, "How can we go beyond this?" A man responded by shrugging. The friend sent him back, and he came again in response. As soon as they reached the shore, unexpectedly, the shore was already in ruins, with cracks and lines on the steep side near the water. A man who didn't see it stepped on it by mistake, and the bank collapsed about two feet. Then he fell into the river and went downstream. I am not used to water, but I can jump a few feet from the center of the wave and go straight up, but I can't get close to the shore, and I still fall into the water. If you count four like this, your strength will be exhausted and you will drown.

Nothing can overcome the world's troubles more than having something to rely on. Those who rely on wealth will eventually be defeated by wealth, those who rely on power will eventually be defeated by power, those who rely on wisdom will eventually be defeated by wisdom, and those who rely on strength will eventually be defeated by strength. If you have something to rely on, you dare to take risks. Songyan, the Marquis of Tian, ??bought a mountain pole in Luanyang and wrote a poem to himself, saying: "The moonlight and flowers accompany me in the morning, and the road is not tilted even when it is flat. If you dare to rely on your carelessness, you will go to the rugged road." Words from true experience are valuable and admired. "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" Ji Yun (Ji Xiaolan)

Translation

There was a man named Ding Yishi in the village. He was strong, agile and powerful, and was good at fighting and Qinggong. A height of two to three feet can be easily jumped; a distance of two to three feet wide can also be easily crossed. I saw him when I was a kid. He had asked to see what he was capable of. He asked me to stand in the aisle, and when I faced the front door, he stood in front of the door and faced me. When I turned around to face the back door, he was already standing outside the back door, facing me. I repeated this seven or eight times, and it turned out (when I turned around) that he flew across the roof in one jump. Later, he passed through the town of Dulin and met a friend who invited him to a hotel next to the bridge for a drink. After drinking enough, they stood by the river and looked out. The friend said to him: "Can you jump over this river?" Ding Yishi shrugged and jumped over. When his friend called him back, he jumped over again. However, as soon as the feet reached the shore, unexpectedly, the river bank was about to collapse, and a crack opened in the steep place near the water. Ding Yishi did not see it and accidentally stepped on it. The river bank collapsed for more than two feet, so he fell into the river along with the collapsed bank and was washed away with the current. He had never been familiar with the nature of water. He could only jump a few feet high from the waves. He could only jump straight up and down but could not swim to the shore, so he still fell into the river. After jumping like this many times, I ran out of energy. Finally drowned in the river. There is no greater disaster in the world than relying on one's own strength. Those who rely on money will eventually fail because of money, those who rely on power will be unlucky because of power, those who rely on wisdom will eventually be unlucky because of wisdom, and those who rely on strength will eventually die because of courage and strength. This is because once you have something to rely on, you will dare to take risks. My friend Tian Hou, also known as Songyan, once bought a Laoshan pole for mountain climbing in Luanyang, and he wrote a poem like this on it: Before the flowers and under the moon, you have accompanied me everywhere, but you should be careful even if the road is smooth. Don't stumble, how dare you deliberately set foot in a rough place without any worries just because you are there? This is really a wise statement from someone who has experienced the world. We should pay attention to it and always remember/admire it! (If you really have social experience, you can hang it like a chain around you and never forget it). 7. Translation of Wang Bo's Biography in Classical Chinese

When he arrived at Wang Bo's place, he took the pen casually and did not refuse.

The governor was furious. He got up and pretended to go to the toilet. He secretly sent his subordinates to spy on Wang Bo's articles and report them at any time. After reporting once or twice, the language of the article became more and more wonderful. The governor said excitedly: "This is really a genius!" He quickly asked him to finish the article, and the guests and hosts left happily.

When Wang Bo was writing an article, he did not think carefully at first. He first ground several liters of ink, then drank a lot of alcohol, pulled a quilt over his head and lay down. When he woke up, he took the pen and wrote it. He wrote the entire article without changing a word. People at the time called Wang Bo "writing from the inside out."

Because he sent out paper and pen to entertain the guests, no one dared to take it. No excuses. The governor was angry, got up to change his clothes, and sent officials to wait for him to report. Reporting again and again, the words became more and more strange, and he said calmly: "You are a genius!" Please write it down, and I am very happy. Bo belongs to Wen. At first, if you don't think carefully, you will first grind out a few liters of ink, then drink heartily, then lie down with your face covered, and then hold the pen to write a piece.

He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tiansheng's reign, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and a historian. Together with Ouyang Xiu and others, he compiled the "New Book of Tang Dynasty" and completed it. He became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and became a scholar of Hanlin Academy.
