Pei Zunqing's Biography of the Old Tang Dynasty

1. Translation and appreciation of Gao Li Zhuan, an old Tang book.

Cao Cao, a government soldier, joined the army commanded by Zuo Si. In the eleventh year of Tianbao, he was appointed as a water envoy and moved to a small supervisor three times.

Count wisely, and be good because of things. Feng listened to is zheng to filial piety.

At the beginning of the yuan dynasty, there was a drought in Beijing, and many people died. The salary is too high to support, and foreign officials are urgently required, but they are not allowed. So I reached the micro-law and degraded the long history of Wenzhou.

Not much, shooting national affairs. At the age of frugality, there were hundreds of thousands of officials in the state who wanted to give relief. He kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said, "Madam, if you don't eat every day, you will die, so you can rest assured!"! If you kill me, you will live thousands of lives. "

So I opened the warehouse and scattered it, flying the seal for the crime of lending. Hearing this, the emperor wrote an excellent letter and added a small government supervisor.

When I arrived at the county, I saw Yi crying and asked, "Li's wife has two sons, one is Jun and the other is Hua. After 20 years of official travel, there is no self-sufficiency in poverty.

"Master is an imperial in the temple, and China is the method of Jingzhao Mansion and Cao Caozhi, all of which are based on literature and art, and the name is more important than time. Gao said: "If you enter, you will be filial; Leaving is filial piety. If you have spare capacity, then you can study literature.

If you are the second son, how can you prepare for the position! "Because it is for playing, it is taken out of the teeth. Don't drive in a different state, do national affairs and do political news well.

When he arrived in Beijing, he was not summoned. Because of the letter, stand up and worship the secretariat of Hengzhou. Take small measures to belittle Chaozhou secretariat.

At that time, Yang Yan went to Guanzhou, knowing that Gao was straightforward and a relative, and returned to Hengzhou. At the beginning, I gave a high reply to the suggestion (1). I was afraid that Toffee would be worried. I went out in plain clothes and entered the public service. I looked as usual, but Toffee didn't know.

For Chaozhou, paradoxically, if you move, you will move, reset, and cry in vain, unless you are sick. Gao Li, word, is with Li Ming's great-grandson.

When he was a teenager, he was left as a teacher and Cao joined the army. In the eleventh year of Tianbao (752), he succeeded to the throne, was appointed as a water envoy, and was promoted to minister three times, all of which were the same as full-time salaries.

He is resourceful and good at taking advantage of opportunities and conveniences. Serving the toffee is respectful and considerate, and is famous for its filial piety.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the capital was dry, and a barrel of rice was worth thousands of dollars, and many people died. Colliers estimated that the salary was not enough to support the whole family and applied for transfer to foreign countries many times. When the court refused, Gao Li deliberately committed a small crime and devalued Wenzhou's long history.

Soon, he served as a well-known agent in Wenzhou. When the agricultural harvest failed, there were hundreds of thousands of official rice in Wenzhou official warehouse. Gaoli intends to use it to help the victims. The ministers did not dare to comply, so they had to kowtow to Gao Li and wait for the emperor's will. Gao Li said, "A person will die if he doesn't eat two meals a day. Where there is time to report! If I sacrifice one person and save thousands of lives, that would be great! " So he opened the state warehouse to release food and relief, and sent someone to fly to the throne immediately, inviting punishment for opening the warehouse without authorization.

The emperor knew that he would not blame him in the future, but praised him for doing so and added the title of less political supervisor. When Gao Li visited the county, he saw a white-haired old woman crying on the roadside. Collier asked very sympathetically. The old woman cried and said, "I am a Li woman with two sons, one is Li E."

I have been an official for twenty years and have never been home once. The old lady is too poor to live! "At that time, you were an imperial envoy in the temple, and the judges of Huawei Jingzhao House were all famous for their articles entering the high-tech industry. Gao Li lamented: "If you enter, you will be filial, and if you leave, you will be filial. You can study literature if you have spare time.

How can two people like them be between Li Qing? "So a paper impeachment, two people were removed, never hired. Gaoli changed to mediate the country and understood the country as an agent. He is famous for his outstanding achievements during his tenure.

Soon, he was summoned to the capital, but he was not summoned for a while. Gao Li wrote a letter to discuss the way of governance, and he was released as the secretariat of Hengzhou. But also because trivial things violated the statutes, reducing the tone of Chaozhou secretariat.

At that time, Yang Yan was banished to Daozhou, and he clearly knew the situation of Colliers. After Yang Yan became prime minister, Gao Li was re-appointed as the secretariat of Hengzhou. At first, when Gao Li's case was examined by the Imperial censor, Gao Li was worried that Taifei would be worried. When he came out of the yamen, he wore casual clothes, and when he returned to the yamen, he still wore official clothes. He talked and laughed as usual, but the toffee knew nothing.

Chaozhou lied about being promoted. By this time, the official was reinstated, crying and telling the toffee what happened in the past, and saying that it was not very important, the child was afraid to tell him, for fear that his mother would worry.

3. Which kind-hearted person can help me (Miao Jinqing's translation of Old Tang Biography):

Miao Jinqing, a native of Shangdang Huguan, is famous for Confucianism. When he was young, Miao Jinqing was studious and good at writing articles. He was a scholar. In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, he served as an official in charge of civil affairs in the official department. In the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, Miao Jinqing was modest and gentle, and officials who participated in the civil service election complained that they wanted good positions, even though some wrote thousands of words, some even spoke in a blunt tone.

In the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, he served as assistant minister of the official department. He presided over the official election for five years. His policy is so loose that officials use it to do bad things and bribe big banks. At that time, the world was peaceful, and more than 10 thousand officials participated in the official election every year. As a senior minister, Li is authoritarian in the court. Miao Jinqing and assistant minister Song Yao were entrusted to preside over the selection of officials, and many officials took part in the selection. Every year, other knowledgeable officials are appointed to inspect the books and judgments of the officials participating in the selection, and we must be realistic. In the spring of the second year of Tianbao, the son of Zhongyi participated in the selection, and Miao Jinqing and Zhang Yi were highly valued for trying to please them. The 64 officials who participated in the selection and wrote the judgment were divided into three departments: A, B and C, and Zhang Ying was designated as one ... He once served as Ji Ling in john young and served An Lushan, and told An Lushan the whole story. An Lushan was favored by Xuanzong at that time and did not appear in front of Xuanzong at a fixed time, so he reported the matter to Xuanzong. Xuanzong called all the people who took part in the imperial examinations and official elections to Calyx Building to take the test personally, but none of the ten qualified people were admitted. Zhang Ying didn't write a word for a day with a test paper in his hand, so he was called "that time". Miao Jinqing was demoted to Ankang Prefecture, Song Yao was demoted to Wudang County Magistrate, and Yi Cheung was demoted to Huaiyang Prefecture. Xuanzong said: "If you can't educate your son at home, you will entrust others to be selfish when choosing an official." All the soldiers at that time regarded this as a joke.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Miao Jinqing absconded, hid in the valley and ran to Jinzhou in the south. When Tang Suzong arrived in Fengxiang, he personally wrote an imperial edict to chase Miao Jinqing to the seat of Su Zong. Worship him for the left that day, and all military affairs are discussed by him. Miao Jinqing is generous and upright. He deals with political affairs from the big picture, does not complain about small mistakes, and can benefit the people everywhere. People in Wei missed him and built a monument to praise him. He never goes against the wishes of others. He is naturally smart, agile and proficient in affairs. He can know the official documents at a glance. He kept his official position by cultivation and saved himself by wisdom. People who talk about him compare him to Hu Guang of the Han Dynasty. He died in April of the first year of Yongtai.

4. "Cui Xuanwei" is an old Tang book, translated by Cui Xuanwei from Boling Anping. Father Cui Xingjin is the county magistrate of Su Hu. Cui Xuanwei was knowledgeable and well-behaved when he was young, and was highly valued by Cui Xinggong, the director of his uncle's secretary. During Long Shuo's reign, he took the Ming Classic exam and was appointed as the treasurer's foreign minister. Cui Xuanwei listened to his mother's instruction and was praised for being honest and rigorous. Soon, Cui Xuanwei was awarded the post of Tianguan and Doctor, and was promoted to Guange Sheren.

In the first year of Chang 'an, he was promoted to assistant minister of Tianguan. He is steadfast in his work, strict with himself, and puts an end to people who come to visit and curry favor with him, which is very annoying to the rulers. He was transferred to Wenchang Zuocheng. After more than a month, Wu Zetian said: "Since Qing changed his post, the department that elected officials has been guilty. Some people set up a fast to celebrate themselves when they accepted your position in history, which is a greedy and evil thing. You will be reinstated today. " The emperor appointed Cui Xuanwei as the assistant minister of Tianguan and awarded 70 colored silks. Prior to this, Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing and others framed good people in an attempt to be promoted and knighted. Hundreds of families were confiscated because they were framed. Cui Xuanwei insisted on stating their grievances, and Wu Zetian realized that they were all pardoned.

In the last years of Wu Zetian, Song Jing denounced Zhang Changzong's plot, and Cui Xuanwei also voiced many times. Wu Zetian ordered the Ministry of Justice to correctly hear their crimes. Cui Xuanwei's younger brother, Cui Sheng, was a judge at that time and demanded that they be sentenced to death. Both brothers are committed to the right path. At this time, Wu Zetian was ill, and the prime minister often did not summon him for several months. When he was better, Cui Xuanwei played again: "Crown Prince, Wang Xiang is kind, wise, filial to his parents and loves his brothers. They can take care of the soup and medicine themselves. The place where the emperor lived is very important. I hope not to let different surnames. " Wu Zetian said, "I understand your kindness." Soon, because of his active participation in killing the Zhang Yizhi brothers, he was promoted to secretary of the Secretariat, and Duke Bolin was appointed. Zhongzong wanted alchemist Zheng Pusi to be the secretary supervisor, but Cui Xuanwei earnestly advised him, but it was not adopted in the end. Soon, he was knighted as king, awarded 400 households with actual fiefs, verified the history of Yizhou governor, and was in charge of governor affairs. After that, he was demoted many times, was awarded the post of Sima of Baizhou, and died on his way to his post.

Cui Xuanwei and his brother Cui Sheng were very friendly, and most of them raised and educated their children by themselves, which was praised by people at that time. Cui Xuanwei was good at writing poems and poems when he was young. In his later years, he thought this was not his specialty, so he stopped writing poems and fu, but devoted himself to studying classics and writing works.

5. Yao Silian, the translation of Biography of Yao Silian in Old Tang Dynasty, in short, was born in Yongzhou for ten thousand years. Silian studied Han history with his father when he was young, and was able to completely inherit his father's footsteps. He studies hard and never talks about things like family property. Yao Silian was the main book of Yangzhou when he was an official, and joined the army for the Han Palace after he entered the Sui Dynasty. Later, he resigned because of his father's funeral.

Silian later became the servant of the acting king You Yang, and soon met a just teacher to pacify the capital. The servants of Dai Wang fled one after another, and Silian was the only one who accompanied Dai Wang and stayed with him. When Tang Bing was about to enter the palace, Silian hit the nail on the head and said, "The Tang Palace held high the banner of justice with the intention of stabilizing the royal family. You shouldn't be rude to the king. " Everyone admired his words and lined up in front of the steps of the palace. Hearing this, Gaozu felt that Silian was upright and asked him to support You Yang to see Yang Shun. He bowed with tears and left Youyang. Everyone who saw this sighed and said, "Yao Silian is a brave man. Benevolent people have the courage to talk about Yao Silian! "

After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, Yao Silian was appointed as the literary master of Qin Dynasty. After Emperor Taizong conquered Xu Yuanlang, Silian was in Luoyang at that time. Emperor Taizong once inadvertently talked about the demise of the Sui Dynasty and said with great emotion (about Yao Silian's behavior): "Yao Silian is not afraid of a weapon, but dares to proclaim a big festival. Even compared with the ancient people with lofty ideals, he is not bad! " So the messenger gave him 300 articles and a letter saying, "I miss longing for your understanding and justice, so I gave you these things." Yao Silian was quickly recommended as a Bachelor of Arts in the Literature Museum. After Emperor Taizong entered the Ministry of Rites, Yao Silian was awarded the position of Prince.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Yao Silian was promoted to Zhu Zuolang and Hongwen Pavilion. His portrait was included in the "Eighteen Bachelor's Figures", and the court asked the literary figure Chu Liang to praise him and praised him: "I am determined to be diligent, and what I said is a true record. I am not afraid of dangers, I am righteous, and the ancient style can inspire the folk customs. " In the third year of Zhenguan, Yao Silian was appointed to co-write Liang and Chen Ershi with the secretary supervisor. On the basis of Liang Shi, Si Lian continued to write his father's unfinished manuscript. , studied and deleted the historical events of the Chen Dynasty to supplement the old history of Fu Zaigu Wang Ye, and wrote 50 volumes of Liang Shu and 30 volumes of Chen Shu. Although Wei Zhi made a final ruling on the general remarks of these two books, they were edited and deleted because of Silian, so the court gave Silian 500 colored silks and made him an official.

As an old courtier of Qin Dynasty, Yao Silian was highly valued by Emperor Taizong. He is often invited to play secretly, and Silian is outspoken. When Emperor Taizong was going to Jiucheng Palace, Si Lian said, "It is a matter of peace to leave the palace for fun, not Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang." Words are sincere. Emperor Taizong explained: "I have a gas sickness, and the weather will get worse when it is hot." It's not that I like sightseeing. " So I gave the fool fifty silks. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Silian was made a constant servant and knight as a male in Fengcheng County. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Silian died. Emperor Taizong was sad and didn't go to court for a day. He posthumously awarded Silian as Taichangqing and posthumous title as Kang, and gave him a cemetery in Zhaoling area.

"Spring and Autumn Annals also said," There is no sun in winter, no yin in summer, no hentai in spring and no bitter rain in autumn. "It's autumn now, and the vegetation has fallen, but suddenly there is this kind of flower, which confuses Yin and Yang. I consider whether your majesty's policies and orders are out of courtesy; Although I am a part-time minister, I should have arranged everything according to heaven, but I can't. This is my sin. " So, the two worshippers apologized, and Wu Zetian said, "The Prime Minister has also cleared the town!"

Later, he served as the criminal division. In 699 ad, in the second year of the holy calendar, he served as assistant minister of the cabinet and acted as prime minister.

9. Song is a native of Yongnian, Zhangzhou.

He was admitted to the Ming Classics Department and was appointed as the magistrate of Wei County. During the reign of Wu Zetian, Yushihuan went to Hebei, breaking the road of Juyongguan and Sanguan. In order to guard against the Turks, he specially asked Song to plan this matter.

Song has always had counsel, and Huan respects him very much. Soon he moved to Dali as a judge and served as an interviewer in Lingnan.

At that time, the leaders of the five States, such as Ya and Zhen, plundered each other one after another, and people in remote areas were uneasy. Previous messengers were afraid of the heat and smell there, and no one had ever arrived. Song personally went to ask about customs and habits and explain the reasons for happiness and misfortune. Since then, the people there have lived a peaceful life, and they have withdrawn 5000 soldiers guarding them.

During the kaiyuan period, he was appointed as the ambassador of Hebei Province. Initially, Yingzhou Doudufu was located in Liucheng to control Xi and Qidan.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, Governor Zhao mishandled it, rebelled with Qidan, captured the city, and then moved to Yuyang City, 200 miles east of Youzhou. In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, Xi reconciled with Qidan, and Xuanzong planned to restore Yingzhou Institute in the old city. Song Jing, the waiter, insisted that it was impossible, and only Song's statement was very favorable.

So the imperial edict appointed Song and others as messengers, and then set up Yingzhou City in Liucheng, and transferred labor for 30 days. Soon after, he was appointed as the imperial adviser and commander-in-chief of the school camp in Song Dynasty.

More than 80 farms have been opened, and merchants Hu ren have been recruited to open stores for them. Over the past few years, Yingzhou's granary has been very substantial, and the residents have gradually become rich. Song was honest, strict with himself and diligent in judging cases. Where he works, ordinary officials dare not violate it.

However, he likes building projects, and there are many changes. Everyone who talked about it laughed at him for being unrealistic. In the seventh year of Kaiyuan, he was posthumously awarded the Minister of Industry.

Taichang Zhanghang commented: "Song is too rigid and easily frustrated. If he is too hard on others, he is useless. He had an accident in the northeast and lost tens of thousands. According to the teachings, being smart and self-righteous is called' specialization'. Please call it' specialization'. "

Zhang Jiuling, the minister of rites, retorted: "Song was a practical minister, and it took him thirty years to reach the frontier. Happy and comfortable in this hall, he only wants to go back and forth; Farming is hard, and you can enrich your rations.

No matter what you do, you should be conscientious, abide by the rules of loyalty and do your best, even if one of them is the same, it is difficult for others to do it. Please send what you discussed to Taichang Temple again, hoping to reflect the usual behavior and keep the ceremony from being lost. "

So everyone agrees that posthumous title should be "respected".

You can give it to Dr. Zuo Shiyu, who is still the same as Jinghui and other officials. "

In the first year of Long Live, Xia Guan, Langzhong and Hou Lingbing discussed the invasion of Qidan. He said, "thieves are very powerful, and snakes and tigers often lead troops." Wu Zetian ordered Xue Jichang to investigate and verify the truth, and served as the provincial judge of Hebei Province. Xue Jichang rode to the barracks first, killed Hou, and then reported to the court. There was another Qiu in Gaocheng, named Wu Ze, who was greedy and tyrannical. He once shot the courier of the post station and cut off the hair of the people's children as wigs. The generals in the state could not stop him, so he was hated by the officials of the people. Xue Jichang killed his men again. From then on, Xue Jichang's reputation was shocked far and near, and state and county officials were afraid when they heard about him. Later, Xue Jichang extended his kindness and honesty and commended good officials. There is a filial girl named Li in Bianzhou. She was eight years old and her father died. The coffin has been in the mourning hall for more than ten years, and she cries every day. When he is older, her mother is going to marry her off. So she cut off her hair and vowed to stay at home and die for her mother. My mother died and there was no man at home, so I arranged for a coffin to be buried. The country admired her filial piety and more than 1000 people were buried with her. After the burial, she built a house beside the tomb, bareheaded and barefoot, brought the loess back to build the tomb, and planted hundreds of pines and cypresses by herself. Xue Jichang listed the above situation, made regulations to commend her in the village and gave her food, cloth and silk.

In the first year of IX, Xue Jichang was promoted from Dingzhou secretariat to Yongzhou long history, and his reputation was prominent. No one before or after him can catch up with him. Soon he was promoted to Wenchang Zuocheng and served as the secretariat of Wei and Shaanxi. In the last years of Chang 'an, he served as the secretariat of Luozhou, and his ruling place was rigorous and clean.

In the early years of Shenlong, he was named Dr. Guanglu of Yin Qing and served as assistant minister of the household department for actively participating in the planning and killing of Zhang Yizhi brothers. At that time, Xue Jichang advised Jing Hui and others to take advantage of the situation to eradicate Wu Sansi. Jing Hui and others didn't listen and eventually failed. This matter is recorded in Jinghui Biography. Xue Jichang was also demoted many times, and was appointed as Sima Danzhou from the governor of Guizhou. At first, Xue Jichang was at odds with Zhou Qingli and Sima Guang, the leaders of Zhaozhou. When he was going to Danzhou, he was worried that Zhou Qingli would go to Guangzhou if he was killed, and he hated Chuke. He sighed and said, "Xue Jichang has done this!" So he prepared a coffin and died of poison.

Zong Rui acceded to the throne and said, "Xue Jichang, Sima of Danzhou, is strong and loyal. Once upon a time, he was cared for by the first emperor, galloping at home and abroad, and his political achievements and reputation were outstanding; There are talented people like Zhuang and Tang, and there are stubborn and upright characters like Ji An. It happened that people who were jealous of integrity exercised their power, uprooted dissidents, wandered around and blamed themselves, and finally committed suicide. It is worthwhile to mourn and reward for his loyalty and injustice. Posthumous title can be left as a doctor, with the same title as Jing Hui, and give his son an official position. "
