honest and upright official

In ancient times, those who were good at governing the people, supported the people with benevolence, controlled and used the people, taught them with courtesy, facilitated them, thought them and inspired them. Like parents' beloved son and brothers' beloved brother, I heard that they were hungry and cold, and I felt sorry for them. Seeing that they worked hard for them, I felt sorry for them, so the people respected him, liked him and liked being close to him. If property governs the state of Zheng, the son governs the single father, Jizhou governs, and Wen Weng governs the county of Shu, all of them can sympathize with the people's difficulties, be faithful to them, and benefit the people regardless of the cost. Their brilliance reflects the Millennium, and their reputation will last forever. Why? Because they rule the people in this way. Therefore, the three kings and five emperors did not change the people, but educated them, all because they educated the people's benevolence. Therefore, there are only incompetent officials and no uneducated people.

Gaozu came into being as the times require and became an emperor, eliminating evil and rebelling, forgetting to eat and sleep, hoping to surpass the previous emperors. But they don't pay attention to poetry and songs, don't advocate morality, and strictly rule by laws and regulations. Officials only ask for nothing, and rarely hear of generosity and kindness. Most people who take the opportunity to make money can gain fame temporarily. When Emperor Yangdi succeeded to the throne, his mind was filled with the strategy of long-distance war, and traces of horses and chariots were almost all over the world, and the four basic principles of governing the country could not be implemented because of lax discipline and disorder. Those who are good at plunder and profit, those who are good at exploitation and exploitation, regardless of the lives of most people, to fulfill their desires, this is called being killed in the line of duty and being promoted at once. Those who obey the people's demands and respect their reputation, integrity, discipline and restraint in plunder are said to agree to favor the lieutenants and kill them immediately. Officials invade money for profit and get what they want. Even if the ban is strictly enforced, people will still do so. Be honest and fair for the official, and lose what he wants. No one will do it even if the reward is increased. Besides, the people above reward evil, and the people below satisfy themselves.

Your own desires, want to get your own integrity, is it difficult! Liang Yanguang and others established harsh political affairs, exhorted the confused and rebellious monarch to be kind and simple, and always practiced the principle of benevolence and forgiveness. The virtues left by the inherited style have disappeared but not been forgotten. The sound of forgiveness and kindness is enough to spread to future generations. Therefore, his deeds are listed as "Biography of Officials".

Liang Yanguang

Liang Yanguang word Xiuzhi, from Anding Ubbelohde. Grandfathers Liang Mao, Qin Wei and Zhou Hua secretariat. Father Liang Xian, Zhou Jingzhou secretariat. Yan Guang was very clever in childhood and had outstanding talent. His father often says to people close to him, "This child has an upright spirit and should be able to prosper our family." At the age of seven, my father was seriously ill, and the doctor said that he would recover after eating Wushisan. I couldn't find a purple time at that time. Yan Guang was very sad and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he saw something in the garden. Yan Guang didn't know, so he took it home. It happens to be purple. Relatives were surprised and thought that this was the inducement of Yan Guang's extreme filial piety. At the end of Wei Datong, Yan Guang entered imperial academy, dabbled in classics and history, and was methodical, so he should follow the etiquette for anything that was relaxed and casual. He took off his coarse clothes and became the secretary of Lang when he was seventeen. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty was founded, Yan Guang was promoted to Staff Sergeant Scheeren. During the reign of Emperor Wu, he was promoted to doctor Xiao Yu many times. I left my job because of my mother's funeral, and I was haggard because of the funeral, which was beyond the general etiquette. Soon, he was appointed to take charge of affairs. The emperor saw that he was too haggard and sighed for half a day. Yan Guang was dismissed by the emperor many times. Later, he was appointed as Dr. Nessler Jr. Jiande years, he worked as a doctor under Yu Zheng. Follow the emperor to pacify the state of Qi, grant Kaifu and Yangcheng County, and seal 1000 military exploits. Xuan Di acceded to the throne, worshipped the secretariat of Huazhou, was promoted to Huayang County, and the fief was increased by 500, making Yangcheng Gong one of his sons. Before long, he was promoted to be a general and a doctor in Yu Zheng. Soon after, I visited Zhu Guo and Qingzhou. The emperor died and didn't go to the office. Wait until the emperor ascended the throne, and let Yan Guang as Kikuchizhou secretariat, in charge of Kikuchizhou Palace prison, increase fief 500, plus the previous * * * 2000. Yan Guang has a good political record, married Jiahe and appeared in qi zhou. In the second year of his reign, the emperor went to qi zhou and liked his talents. He issued a decree saying: "The reward for good people is to teach people to be good people. Yan Guang is honest and knowledgeable. He is a politician in different situations. He attaches equal importance to people's kindness and prestige, and his reputation for honesty and prudence is world-famous. After three years, it is natural to promote him, and I am afraid that he will be sleepy in life, so it is suitable for commendation and reward for the time being. Give 500 welcome millet, 300 items and a royal umbrella cover. I hope it will be felt in my heart and increase his kindness day by day. The four seas are officials, and when you worship the mountain wind, you should be self-sufficient. " Soon, another 50,000 yuan was given.

A few years later, he was appointed as the secretariat of Xiangzhou. Yan Guang used to be in qi zhou, where the customs were simple. He has steady management and good education throughout the country, ranking first in the country in terms of political achievements every year. When I came to Xiangbu, I still managed according to qi zhou's method. Yedu's customs are chaotic, and many people are cunning. He wrote folk songs for Yan Guang, saying that he was incapable of governance and education. When the emperor heard about it, he blamed Yan Guang and was finally found guilty and dismissed. A year later, Yan Guang said to the emperor, "I was punished in Xiangzhou before, and the people called me' wearing a hat'." I thought that now that I was removed from my post, it was hopeless to wear official clothes and hats. I didn't expect the emperor to hire me again. Please allow me to make a history of Xiangzhou again and change my tune, hoping to reverse the local customs and repay your kindness. "The emperor listened to him and still served as the secretariat of Xiangzhou. Tough, cunning, law-abiding people heard that Yan Guang requested to come to Xiangzhou, and no one did not laugh. After Yan Guang came to power, he exposed the hidden bad guys and things, just like a god, so all the cunning people on the earth didn't run away, which shocked the whole country. After Qi was destroyed, most of the literati moved to Hanguguan, leaving only craftsmen, vendors and musicians to move around and live inside and outside the city. Therefore, there are many kinds of people who are insidious and eccentric, making groundless rumors and complaining to officials. Yan Guang wanted to get rid of this malpractice, so he used his salary to invite Confucian masters at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain to run schools in every township, instead of the endless teaching of sages. Students are often called to take exams in person in the last month of each quarter. Students who study hard, are smart and have a good reputation are invited to the hall for a banquet, and the rest sit in the wing. There are people who love to argue and are lazy to do nothing. Let them sit in the yard with poor food. When they finished their studies, they held a ceremony to pay tribute to the guests, hosted a banquet to see them off in the suburbs, and presented them with property. As a result, people restrained their own selfish desires, worked hard and made great changes in customs. There was a man in Fuyang who was anxious, addicted to alcohol and unfilial to his parents. His cousin took him to court. Yan Guang didn't punish him, so he took him to Zhou Bao's school and ordered him to watch in the Confucius Temple. At that time, there was a statue of Han in the temple. Because his mother hit him with a cane, he felt sorry for his mother, so he was sad and cried at her. Jiao Tong was moved to wake up, sad and ashamed, as if ashamed. Yan Guang enlightened him and sent him back. Later, Jiao Tong corrected his mistakes, honed his virtue, and finally became a virtuous man. Educating people by benevolence, that's it. The officials and people were moved and happy, and there were almost no lawsuits. A few years later, he died in the palace at the age of sixty. Hebei, Ding, Qing, and Britain are the four states that secretariat posthumous title. Son Qian Wen succeeded to this position.

Qian Wen is very elegant and inherited his father's legacy. As a native of Shangzhu Township, he imitated the worship ceremony. In the fifteenth year of Emperor, he was awarded the secretariat of Shangzhou. Emperor Yang acceded to the throne and served as the secretariat of Raozhou. One year later, he became the magistrate of Poyang, and his political achievements were the first in the country. Recruitment of Assistant Minister of Education. In the Liaodong Campaign, Qian Wen was also a general of Wu Benlang, and soon he served as a proofreader of Taifu and Wei Wei Er Shao Qing. In the second year, he served as deputy commander of Lulong Daojun. Just as Yang Xuangan rebelled, Wu Benlang, the younger brother of Xuangan, began to subordinate Yang Xuanzong to Qian Wen. Before the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion reached, Xuanzong ran away. Before Qian Wen realized it, he was sent to Guilin to guard the border and died. He was 56 years old.

Wen Rang, the youngest son, attacked Yangcheng County first, and then served as the eagle. Follow Wei Xuandong's expedition to Yang Xuangan and fight to the death. Give the official position of Dr. Yi Tong. Fan Shule Fan Shule Chen. His father, Huan Fan, was the secretariat of Southern Yanzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Hou of Ayang. When Gao monopolized the power and prepared to discuss the timing of revival, he was killed by Gao. Uncle was still in infancy, and was imprisoned in the imperial court and Taiwan Province Province to serve his sentence. My uncle is nine feet tall. He is very envious of high ambition and spirit. My uncle was upset and fled to the west of Hangu Pass. As soon as Zhou Taizu saw him, he thought highly of him and arranged for him. Soon after, he was awarded the title of Governor and inherited the title of Marquis. Yuwen Hu, Osamu Jae-jun, was in power, and was recruited as a lieutenant. Uncle is resourceful and familiar with the historical facts at that time. Yuwen Hu gradually trusted him, both inside and outside. He was promoted to the ancient general and the third division of Kaifu Yitong for many times. After Yuwen Hu was killed, Gao Xian, the king of Qi, recruited his uncle as the park supervisor. At that time, Gao Xian always planned to annex the east of Hanguguan, and his uncle put forward many suggestions according to different situations. Gao Xian feels different. Jiande five years, follow Liang Wudi attack qi, Tudor uncle command elite troops, battle-hardened. Because of military service, he was promoted to Shangkaifu, and he was awarded the title of county magistrate in Qingxiang, and 1,400 corpses were sealed. Thanks for Bianzhou's secretariat, I think Mingda is decisive. When Xuan Di proclaimed himself emperor, Tokyo was built in Luoyang. Because my uncle is a little clever, he was commissioned to build a prison, and the size of the palace was decided by my uncle. The emperor died before the project was completed. Wei Chijiong rebelled, and Gao Zu ordered Uncle Lu to guard the girder. When Wei Chijiong's general invaded, his uncle fought back and drove him away. Uncle slightly worshipped the general for his military exploits and served as the secretariat of Bianzhou.

High-impedance acceded to the throne, promoted to general, and promoted to An Lushan county magistrate. He has been in the county for several years and has great prestige. Yedu has bad customs and is considered difficult to educate. Because uncle's county is very famous, the court appointed him as the secretariat of Xiangzhou, and his political achievements were the first at that time. The emperor praised him by imperial edict and gave 300 items and 500 stones of millet to the world. The common people sang a ballad for him, saying, "Wisdom is boundless, and the country is boundless. Up and down, Fan Anding. " When he was hired as Minister of Agriculture, all the officials and people gathered together to erect a monument to praise his good governance. Since becoming Minister of Agriculture, my uncle has formulated other regulations and systems for all the crops planted, which are unexpected. If the court hesitates and the officials can't decide, my uncle will judge for them. Although uncle has little knowledge, no book foundation and is not limited to law, he is independent in thought and secretly agrees with reason. Gao Ying and Su Yang were deeply trusted by the emperor and treated him with gifts. Uncle Lu is a farmer. Often participate in the affairs of Jiuqing. Nature advocates luxury, and every meal should be at the forefront of the abbot, which is necessary for land and water production. Fourteen years later, he followed the emperor to worship in Taishan and then in Luoyang. The emperor ordered him to examine the prisoners. Uncle briefly described the situation at that time, prepared to play, got up in the morning, walked to the prison gate, and suddenly died on horseback at the age of 59. The emperor mourned for a long time and gave a posthumous copy to Mi Xiang Hao, the secretariat of Bozhou.

Zhao GUI

Zhao Gui was born in Luoyang, Henan. Father Zhao Su was a courtier of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Zhao Gui has been fond of learning and being virtuous since childhood. Zhou Caiwang called it the archives. Known for poverty and hard work. Be promoted to Weizhou Zhizhong.

Gaozu acceded to the throne, and Zhao Gui was appointed as Jizhou, famous for his ability. His neighbor in the east has a mulberry tree, which was left at Zhao Gui's house. Zhao Gui sent someone to pick it up and return it to its owner, and warned his sons, "I didn't pursue fame with this. I don't think this is your own business, so don't take it as a warning. " Zhao Gui has been in Jizhou for four years, and his achievements have been the first year after year. After our time, Duke Liang Zigong of Heyang played, he directly rewarded Zhao Gui with 300 products and 300 meters to recruit Zhao Gui to the DPRK. The folks who saw me off waved their tears and said, "Don't drive when you are in office. You didn't commit any crime with the people in autumn, so you dare not send it with wine." Sir, clean as water, please allow us to pour a glass of water to say goodbye. "Zhao Gui took the water to drink. After arriving in Kyoto, Zhao Gui and Gong Niu Hong wrote the law.

At that time, Wang Wei Yang Shuang was the manager of Yuanzhou. The emperor thought he was young, and because Zhao Gui had a good political voice, he was named Yuan Zhou secretariat Sima. Walking on the road in the middle of the night, Zhao Gui's men ran out of control into the rice field and trampled the farmers' seedlings. Zhao Gui didn't rein in the horse until dawn and paid for it. When officials in Yuanzhou heard about this, there was no one who did not change his moral integrity.

A few years later, Zhao Gui was promoted to be the secretariat of Zhou Xia to appease the people and foreigners, which was very beneficial. Soon, he was appointed as the general manager of Shouzhou. Wumen weir was originally built by Shaobei and has been in disrepair for a long time. Zhao Gui encouraged and supervised the officials and people, and opened 36 water outlets to irrigate more than 5,000 hectares of farmland, benefiting the people. Zhao Gui returned to his hometown at the end of his term of office and died at home at the age of 62. Sons Hong An and Hongzhi are famous all over the world. Fang Gong is a cautious man, from Luoyang, Henan. Father Fang Mo, the official minister of the State of Qi. Gong Yi has a deep personality, a sense of proportion and an open mind, which is suitable for politics. As an official of the State of Qi, he began to serve in the government and joined the army. He served as Ping Enling and Yin Ji prefect, all of whom have a reputation for competence. When he met Qi, he was destroyed and failed to get promoted. Gong Yi participated in Wei Chijiong's rebellion. After Wei Chijiong failed, Gong Yi was stopped at home.

In the early years of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Su Wei, a senior official of the official department, recommended Gong Yi, awarded him a new order, and his achievements were three blessings first. When Thorpe heard about it, he was given 400 items, which Gongyi gave to the poor. Soon, the emperor gave another 300 stone meters, which Gongyi used to help the poor. The emperor stopped him when he heard about it. At that time, every county magistrate in Yongzhou would go to Hajj on the first day of every month. When the emperor saw Gong Yi, he was sure to ask him to sit on the couch and ask about the way to govern the country. Once again, Su Wei recommended Gong Wei, awarded Zezhou Sima with excellent results, and awarded 100 items and a good horse.

Gong Yi was appointed as Sima of Texas, and after more than a year, Lu Kai said that Gong Yi's political achievements were the best in the world. The emperor was surprised and gave him 100 items. He took the opportunity to say to the state envoys: "It is the blessing of God and ancestors to be considerate of the country and care for the people like Fang Gongyi. How can my humble virtue lead to it? " I gave him the title of secretariat. This is not just for a state. You should order everyone in the world to follow his example, and you should follow his example. "The emperor said," where Fang Gong is, people regard him as their parents. If I turn a blind eye and don't give a reward, God and ancestors will probably blame me. Officials at all levels should understand my intention: "So he lowered the imperial edict and said:" Gongyi, a native of Sima Fang, Texas, worked as a county magistrate, assisted two feudal countries, and was good at being an official, far above his peers. Promulgating articles to lead subordinates does live up to expectations, and appointing one party has a very good reputation and performance. You can send him as a festival, Haizhou Military Region and Haizhou Secretariat. "

Soon, Dr. Guo Zi said that Fang Gongyi was an accomplice of Wei Chijiong and should not be an official. Su Wei and Yu Wenkai formed a party, which is recommended by personal feelings. The emperor was furious and finally convicted Gong Yi and sent Lingnan to guard the border. Soon, he was recalled to Kyoto and went to Hongzhou, where he fell ill and died. People still think that he has been wronged. Taiwei Taiwei Taiwei is from Hejian Fucheng. He is a big man and has been diligent and studious since childhood. Extensive contact with classics and history. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was promoted to Xiaolian, shot the first section, served as Xiangcheng Wang Changshi, and served as a military attache. When I was promoted to Doctor Taichang, I increased or decreased the ancestral temple etiquette. At that time, he was called the stacks. Since then, Gao Tangling and Dali Zhi have gained a capable reputation. When the State of Qi was destroyed, Emperor Wu of Zhou summoned him by name, talked with him, valued him very much, and gave him financial aid: Bi Taishou left his job because of his mother's death.

In the early years of the emperor's reign, the emperor asked him about his political strategy and named him the satrap of Runan. Abandoned Runan County, made Mao Jing Sima and named Cao Zhou. After a few years in office, because of his old age and illness, he asked to leave his post and return to his hometown, but the emperor specifically refused. . Soon he was promoted to the secretariat of Xizhou, where the law was safe and the moral education was widely implemented. At that time, it was the battle to pacify Chen, and some people who went out got sick on the road. Mao Jing took out his salary to cook porridge as medicine to help them, so thousands of people were saved. When the emperor heard about it, he rewarded him and made a letter to the world.

In fifteen years, the emperor went to Luoyang and met Mao Jing. At that time, he was 77 years old. The emperor offered his seat and asked him how old he was. Mao Jing answered truthfully. The emperor pitied his old age and sighed for a long time. Mao Jing made two obeisances and said, "Lv Wang met Zhou Wenwang at the age of eighty, and I met your Majesty in my seventies." The emperor was very happy and gave 300 items. The imperial edict said, "Xiu De, Mao Jing, is honest and clean. Although he is old, his virtue remains undiminished. He served as the head of state and educated the people with benevolence. His reputation and achievements are remarkable. The year-end assessment is the first, and it is necessary to promote the honorary title and the secretariat. Can be stabbed by Yitong San and Yizhou. "

The next year, because of illness, officials and people cried on the way off. When he recovered, he asked to go home, but he was still not allowed. He was appointed as the secretariat of Daozhou. Mao Jing used all his salary to buy calves, chickens, pigs, etc. , distributed to orphans and sick people who can't live. Mao Jing likes to ride around alone. When he arrived at the door of the people's house, he went into the house to see the people's property. Those who are good at housekeeping will be praised at the meeting. If there are mistakes, teach them immediately, but don't preach. Therefore, everyone is humble and takes what he needs. Men help each other with farming, while women spin hemp together. There are hundreds of families in the big village, like a family. Then Mao Jing asked to resign, and the emperor issued a special letter for approval.

During the Renshou period, Ming Taizu Yankee went to the north of the Yellow River, saw Mao Jing's energy, and returned to Beijing to perform these stories. So I worshipped Mao Jing as the secretariat of Zizhou, gave him a carriage, and took office directly without going to North Korea to give thanks. It is a good policy before and after the publication, and critics call it good grazing.

Daye died in his early career at the age of 87. Mi Zhu's name is Kang. On the day of his death, thousands of officials and people from various counties came to offer their condolences. Some of them missed the funeral. They all looked at the graves and wept bitterly, offering sacrifices everywhere. Xin Gongyi Xin Gongyi, a Taoist in Longxi. Grandfather Xin Hui, Wei Xuzhou secretariat. Father Xin, Qingzhou secretariat. Yi lost his father in his early years and was raised by his mother, who personally taught poetry and classics. Weeks or even years. Choosing a child with a good family to be a teacher, justice is a famous hard work. When Emperor Wudi was in power, he entered a school and ordered to learn morality. Every month, he was called to the emperor and ordered to consult with Confucian masters. He was praised many times, and celebrities at that time envied him. In the early years of Jiande, he was awarded Sergeant Xuanna. Following the emperor to pacify barbarians, he was gradually promoted to sergeant and general. Gaozu became prime minister, was awarded the history of righteous people, and participated in the management of confidential events. In the first year of Ming Taizu, he served as an assistant minister of subject and object, and was also in charge of literature and history. Be sealed Anyang county, sealed two hundred cities. Whenever Chen's envoys come to appear before the court, they often take orders for banquets. He was appointed assistant minister of the drive department and sent to Liao Ling to pacify the border. In seven years, he was sent to various places to inspect and raise horses and got more than 100 thousand horses. Gaozu said happily, "I am the only one who has done my best for the country."

Righteousness pacified Chen with the army and awarded the secretariat military merit. The locals are afraid of getting sick. If a person is sick, the whole family will avoid the patient, father and son will not take care of each other, and everyone is unfilial, then most of the sick people will die. Righteousness is worried about this and wants to change the custom of Bao. So officials were sent to inspect the areas under their jurisdiction, and all the patients were carried by beds and cars and placed in the lobby of government offices. When the plague broke out on a hot day, sometimes hundreds of patients came, and temples and rooms were crowded. Righteousness builds the bed in person, sits alone in it, and handles government affairs for patients from morning till night. The wages they receive are used to buy medicine, find doctors for patients, personally persuade them to eat and drink water, so that all patients are cured, and then call their relatives and say, "Life and death depend on fate, and it has nothing to do with contact with patients. In the past, you abandoned them, so you died. Now I gather these patients, sit and lie among them. If it is contagious, how can I not die, but the patients are cured? Don't be superstitious about old customs. " Many patients' children and grandchildren were embarrassed to apologize and left. Later, when people met patients, they rushed to imitate the secretariat. If the patient has no relatives, let him take care of himself. People began to respect and care for each other, and this custom was abolished. People all over the country call justice a loving mother.

Later, he served as the secretariat of Mouzhou. When he arrived, he immediately went to the prison, sat in the open air next to the prison and asked himself. In more than ten days, after all the cases were pronounced, I returned to my official position. There is no official file for the new lawsuit accepted, and an assistant on duty is sent to sit next to him for questioning. If the case is not over yet, and there are still people who need to be imprisoned, Justice will stay in the lobby of the government office and never return to his room. Someone advised him: "This lawsuit has its own limitation, so why bother asking for it?" Righteousness replied: "The secretariat did not teach the people with benevolence, but also imprisoned the people. How can you keep people in prison and feel at ease? " The criminals confessed themselves when they heard these words. Later, someone wanted to go to court, and neighbors and elders would come to dissuade them, saying, "This is just a trivial matter. How can you bear to do the hard work of secretariat?" Both parties to the lawsuit blame themselves and give up. At that time, the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, from Chen and Ru to the East China Sea, was constantly raining. Only in the territory of the base state, it didn't damage anything. Brass is produced on the mountain, and everyone who picks it has turned it in. He ordered Lang Loulou, Minister of Water Affairs, to go to the altar and pray for God's blessing. He heard bells, bells, harps and flutes ringing in the air.

In the first year of Renshou, he was appointed as the ambassador of Yangzhou Yi Dao. Yang Chen, king of Zhang Yu, worried that officials in his jurisdiction would break the law, and Skynet had not yet entered Yangzhou, so he sent someone to uphold justice in advance. Righteousness replied: "Respect the imperial edict and dare not be selfish." When he arrived in Yangzhou, there was no room for leniency, and Yang Chen held a grudge against him. When Emperor Yang ascended the throne, Wang Hong, a long history of Yangzhou, served as assistant minister of Huangmen, took the opportunity to say a fair word and finally left. Officials and people are complaining outside the door, and there is an endless stream. A few years later, the emperor woke up and was appointed as assistant minister of justice and civil history. Justice mourned her mother and left her post. Soon, he became a doctor in Li Si, the right-back of the school and the general of Wu Benlang. He went out with the emperor and died in Liucheng County at the age of sixty-two. Son Xin Rong.
