Yao Xi's biography
Yao Xide, with the same word, was born in Tongchuan. He was a scholar in the 16th year of Jiading (1223). Awarded Xiaoxi county master book, waiting for three years, discussing the Six Classics and hundred schools of thought's theory from morning till night every day. Transfer to Panshi County Order. It happened that there was a military disaster in Bashu, and the military dispatch was completed without any difficulties, and the manager of Jiading House was moved and promoted to join the army. He was appointed as the magistrate of Pujiang County. The local gentry's powerful family is illegal, and the county and city orders are not obeyed and difficult to treat. Yao Xide is famous for restraining the strong and helping the weak. Tongzhi Privy Council Tour seems to have heard Yao Xide's reputation, called for verification, examination and observation, and was promoted to be a judge in Taipingzhou, transferred to Fuzhou, and walked to Fuzhou to rule the city. Local officials didn't know that he was a judge.
Yao Xide was called as imperial academy Cheng, and was promoted to Taifu Temple. At that time, he temporarily wrote a manuscript and was also a professor of Yijing Wangfu. At that time, Emperor Lizong banished the traitors in power and called the prestigious moral talents, which was celebrated by the whole court. Yao Xi was able to observe its shape from the outside of the court, like a clear court; Observing its operation from the inside of the imperial court is like a country in peril. Therefore, Shang Zuoshu said: "In the Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there was no danger, and people often liked the words of danger;" Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been many things in peril, but people often avoid the remarks of peril. However, there should be no danger, and the remarks about danger should not be forgotten. The emperor of future generations is stepping on a dangerous place but walking on a flat place. It is like confessing illness to say something about danger. " He added: "It's not that gentlemen don't accept calls, but their intentions have not yet been unified; The villain is not refusing to chase, but has not been cut off at all. If the power is shaking hands, there can be no doubt about the winding path next to it; If the general trend changes and innovates, it does not see the way of long-term stability. The sarcastic words of exhortation made by the court ministers and the sealed speech to the emperor's throne are not without enthusiasm, and your majesty neither added guilt to it, but did not implement it. Since ancient times, people who are willing to take the road of peril are not only bad kings, but also wise monarchs, which is what I am particularly afraid of. The imperial court is the place where all kinds of ever-changing things appear, which is essentially rooted in the emperor's mind. Why is Ming Jun as bright as broad daylight, and what can be discussed? With the construction of primary schools in the palace, it is known that your majesty intends to establish a crown prince. However, as time goes by, people are puzzled and feel critical, and there is nothing to rely on. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the prince did not decide early, but later acted hastily. Some were ordered by the court, some were set up under the auspices of eunuchs, and some were first put forward by treacherous court officials, all of which were enough to make the country feel dangerous. What worries does your majesty have? Why don't you make a big plan? People all know that the grand occasion of the Didi family is because everyone loves each other very much. However, there are many people who rely on it. They despise the laws of the country and bribe and shield each other, which has a very bad influence. Yang Gan, the younger brother of Jin Hou, ran amok in Quliang area, while Wei Jiang killed his servant. Jin Hou was furious at first, but finally regretted it. As a result, Jin State gained hegemony. Ping Yuanjun, the younger brother of the prince of Zhao, didn't pay taxes to the state, while Zhao She punished the person in charge according to the law. The prince of Zhao regarded him as a sage and reused him. As a result, Zhao became stronger. All these are enough to make the country prosperous. Why doesn't your majesty uphold the national law a little? Now, the woman is the leader, and everyone is dissatisfied; Eunuchs are fond of small officials, and they often steal power and dominate others. These are all caused by your majesty's sudden understanding and confusion. Don't you feel dangerous? There are good talents in a country, just like people have vitality, and useful talents are temporarily declining and damaged, just like people's vitality is temporarily sick and dangerous. How many good talents there are, how many times can they withstand wear and tear, and when they are damaged to the extreme, the country will be in danger. Your majesty knows others clearly and uses talents fairly. He had no intention of using power to rape again. However, people who don't know often talk in secret, which is a sign that Yuan .. and Shao Sheng will be separated. The curse is still hidden and has not been removed. Do you still feel at ease and don't feel dangerous? " Emperor Lizong changed his face and said, "I will never use Shi Songzhi." Yao Xide moved to know that a large official was also a Langguan of the Ministry of Finance. Li Shao left due to illness and wanted to leave his post ten times. Yao Xi had to say, "Li Shao has high hopes for virtue. Although he left because of illness, why not keep him to serve the inner shrine and serve the scriptures? It is enough to show that the court attaches great importance to him." He also said: "It is very difficult for the imperial court to spend money, and the people are miserable. They use unnecessary expenses to enrich the military reserves and supplement the people's lives. There is nothing more than respecting the heavens. Is this comparable to worshiping, building palaces and solemnly setting up Buddha statues?" He also played three strategies to save Qian Jun, requesting the establishment of a Huimin Bureau, which the emperor thought could be put into practice.
Yao Xide was promoted to Secretary Cheng, and soon moved to be a writer, and was appointed to promote Chang Ping to Jiangxi. The service law has long been chaotic and lax. In Linchuan County, a rich man bribed an official to ask for exemption from the burden of service, and Yao Xide convicted him for it. As a result, he was changed to a prison and sealed a secret cabinet. Soon, I was promoted to foreign minister. Later, he was promoted to Baozhangge and moved to Ganzhou. Among the thieves, there are people who pretend to be "Cui Taiwei", occupying the stone wall and connecting several counties. Liu Laolong and others gathered all the people to burn and plunder, so one side was in turmoil. Yao Xi was instructed to give counsel and strategies, and they were pacified in less than fifty days. Therefore, Yao Xide was promoted to Zhi Bao Mo Ge, Guangxi transshipment judge, and temporarily served as the magistrate of jing jiang Prefecture. Soon, he was appointed Zhi Hui Gui Ge and jing jiang Prefecture Magistrate, who was in charge of the business affairs of Guangxi Jinglue Pacification Department and the transfer judge. Dismissed for mourning his mother. Called to be a secretary, less supervisor and a provincial inspector in the book. When he entered the DPRK, he talked about the difference between a gentleman and a villain, evil and justice, and said: "A gentleman dares to offend the emperor and speak out, and against your will, he resigned and was willing to eat at home. This is for the country, not for himself. The villain likes to form his own clique, cultivate power, crowd out the gentleman, and willingly tell some lies. Everything obeys your majesty's will, so he takes your majesty's official title for himself, not for the country. " Moved to Zong Zheng, Shao Qing was also the editor of national history, and the review of factual records was also given the right to the matter. He was temporarily appointed as a part-time assistant minister of punishments, a fellow practitioner of national history, and a historian. At that time, the west used troops, and some people who contributed ideas for Shi Songzhi's comeback said that it could not be done without Shi Songzhi. Emperor Rizong also intended to use him again. Knowing that Yao Xide would definitely refuse to agree, he issued an imperial edict to announce this meaning, and Yao Xide resolutely played in a dense way, but there was no result. He also withdrew Deng Yong's appointment as a temple official. You Zhengyan Shao Ze, Wu Yan, the supervisor, and Zhu Yi, the assistant in the temple, were dismissed one after another because of their comments on the letter.
After a period of time, Yao Xi was able to compile the Jiying Temple to raise some ideas about the grand celebration of the Millennium. Not long after, he was restored to his old post as a judge of the Department of Xuanfu in Huaibei. Soon, he was promoted to Baomo Pavilion and moved to Jingxi Road, Jinghu South Road, Jinghu North Road and Sichuan. Imperial edict to restore the original office. Defending Jiangling was meritorious, and he was appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of Housing. Emperor Lizong said, "Yao Xi's talent can serve as a general in Beijing." Therefore, he was promoted to Huan Zhangge to be made, Ren Qingyuan to be the magistrate and the coastal ambassador, and then he was promoted to Fu Wenge to be made. In order to increase the number of sailors on the coast, Yao Xide had to recruit a wide range of water forces, build warships, store food, and remove 12 thousand meters and 1 million old ones. After going to the official, all the treasures of the official treasury were lost on behalf of the people. Yao Xide was called as the minister of the Ministry of Industry and served as a reader. After attending the banquet, the emperor asked him in detail about the administration of Qingyuan. He was a bachelor in Huawen Pavilion, a magistrate in Jiankang Prefecture, an envoy in Jiangdong, and stayed in the palace. Yao Xide toured the Yangtze River to comfort his soldiers, and everyone felt happy. Liyang famine, opened the warehouse to help the hungry, the emperor repeatedly rewarded him with letters. He was promoted to a bachelor's degree in Baozhangge, and soon, he was promoted to a minister of punishments, who was also the general manager of Huaixi according to his original position.
in the fifth year of Jing ding (1264), Yao Xi was called to be the minister of war and assistant reader. Therefore, four things are discussed: selecting talents, improving government affairs, managing the military and cherishing money. He was appointed as a bachelor in Duanming Hall, a privy council official and a guest of the Prince. It happened that there was a comet change, and the last performance was blamed and blamed, requesting to remove the important position of maintenance. Temporarily participate in political affairs. After Du Zong acceded to the throne, he was granted the position of knowing the Privy Council and acting as an agent to participate in political affairs, and soon he was granted the position of participating in political affairs. He was dismissed because of his remarks, and was awarded a bachelor's degree in Senior Minister Hall and promoted Dong Xiao Palace. He was appointed as the envoy of Tanzhou Zhizhou and Hunan Anfu. He was seriously ill and resigned, but he still served as the official of Cilu in his old post. Please be an official, but the imperial edict forbids it. Insist on the request, and be an official with the University Master of Senior Minister Hall, Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, and the former Duke of Tongchuan County. Xian Chun died in 1269. When the legacy was played, Duzong stopped going to court and gave him a little insurance.
Yao Xide is loyal, aboveboard, ordinary, honest, frugal and self-respecting. He likes to quote talented people, but doesn't like the reputation of vanity. He has praised the imperial court for being an official and he doesn't know it yet. Guangxi officials used silk brocade as a curtain, and Yao Xi had to say, "I came from a scholar, so where can I use this?" It is indicated that brocade and silk are replaced by valerian (that is, ordinary silk). There are dozens of relatives and clansmen in Shu who depend on him, and Yao Xi has to help them all his life. All the weddings and funerals depend on his own financial resources, and land is granted according to the population in his later years, which varies from one to another. His books include "Continued Words and deeds", "Played Draft" and "Collected Works of Orange State".
Li Tingzhi biography
Li Tingzhi, the word xiangfu. His ancestors were Bianjing people, and twelve generations of grandparents and grandchildren lived together, called "Yimen Lee". Later, he moved to Yingshan County, Suizhou. After the death of the State of Jin, there were frequent wars and fires in the Xiangjiang and Hanshui river basins, and they moved to Suizhou. Especially famous for its martial arts.
When Li Tingzhi was born, Ganoderma lucidum grew on the roof of his house. People in the same village gathered to watch it, thinking it was an auspicious omen for giving birth to a boy, so they took it as their name. When he was a teenager, he was very clever, and he could read thousands of words every day, and his wisdom and knowledge often came from the elders. Wang .. was appointed as Suizhou Zhizhou, and Li Tingzhi was eighteen years old at that time. He told his uncles and uncles and his father, "Wang ... is greedy for the disabled and doesn't care for his subordinates. Many subordinates complain, and Suizhou is bound to be in trouble. Please move your family to De 'an to avoid disaster." Uncle, uncle and father reluctantly listened to his words and moved their families. Less than ten days after the move, Wang .. was held hostage by his trilogy to launch a rebellion, and many people in Suizhou died. At the end of Jia Xi's reign, the defense of the Yangtze River was very urgent, so Li Tingzhi could not get a township lift. He wrote to Meng Gong, the general of Jingzhou, to request to serve his country. Meng Gong is good at reading people's faces, and in the evening he dreamed that Li Shangshu came to pay his respects, and Li Tingzhi arrived the next day. Seeing that he was tall, Meng Gong turned to his sons and said, "There are many people I have met. There is no one like Li Tingzhi. His fame will definitely surpass mine in the future." At that time, there was a military alert in Sichuan, that is, Li Tingzhi temporarily served as the magistrate of Jianshi County in Shizhou. After Li Tingzhi arrived, he trained farmers, managed military affairs, and selected strong men to join the army to teach them martial arts. After more than a year, the people all know how to fight and how to defend. They are good at riding horses and fighting. When they have nothing to do, they farm with weapons. When the soldiers arrive, they all go out to fight with them. The general of Kuizhou also carried out this method in his jurisdiction. Chun .. Only left Jianshi County in the early years, took the imperial examination and was admitted as a scholar. As Meng Gong's staff, in charge of confidential and written matters. After Meng Gong's death, the above list recommended Jia Sidao to take his place, and recommended Li Tingzhi to Jia Sidao. Li Tingzhi thanked Meng Gong for being his bosom friend, so he helped his coffin to be buried in Xingguo County, and then abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, mourning for Meng Gong for three years.
Jia Sidao was guarding the Jinghu Lake, and Li Tingzhi initially served as a member of the Planning Department. Later, he moved to guard the Huaihe River, and discussed with Jia Sidao to set up the five estuaries of Zhaqinghe River and add 12 beacon towers in Huainan. Then, he served as the city magistrate and set up a city in Jingshan for Huainan. They all hit the opportunity. In the year of Kaiqingyuan (1259), Jia Sidao served as the ambassador of Jinghu Lake, leaving Li Tingzhi as Yangzhou Prefecture temporarily. Soon, because the soldiers were in Bashu area, they were invited to be the prefecture of Xiazhou to defend the export of Bashu Yangtze River. The imperial court appointed Zhao Yu .. as the envoy of Huainan, and Li Yinggeng as the Senate. Li Yinggeng commanded two armies to be stationed in Nancheng, and tens of thousands of people died of thirst in the heat. Li .. Observing that he had no strategy, he captured the three cities of Lianshui and crossed the Huaihe River to capture the South City. Ezhou soldiers were cleared, and Li Tingzhi resigned in mourning for his mother. The imperial court discussed the choice of generals stationed in Yangzhou. Emperor Lizong said, "No one can compare with Li Tingzhi." Therefore, the director of the situation was in charge of the system of Huai and Huai. Li Tingzhi defeated Li's army again, killed Marshal Li, the general of Li, and pacified Nancheng and returned. The next year, he defeated Li in Qiaocun and captured the East China Sea, Shipu and other cities. The following year, Li surrendered and moved people from the three cities to Tongzhou and Taizhou. We also attacked Qi County and killed the Shoujiang.
When Li Tingzhi first arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou had just been hit by a flood and all the houses were burned down. Yangzhou relies on the salt industry to gain benefits, but most of the salt kiosk households fled, and the public and private salt industry was very depressed. Li Tingzhi lent all the money owed by the people and lent them money to repair the house. After the house was built, they were exempted from the money they borrowed. In a year, the government houses were repaired. Dig a canal for 4 miles to Jinsha and Qing Yu saltworks, so as to save the transportation fee. At the same time, other canals were dredged, and more than 2 million yuan of salt was released from pavilions. Salt-producing households did not have the hard work of car transportation, but also were able to avoid the salt debts they had incurred. Those who escaped came back, which was beneficial to the rapid prosperity of the salt industry. At first, Pingshan Hall had a bird's eye view of Yangzhou City. When Dayuan soldiers arrived, they built a watchtower on it and put a crossbow on it to shoot at the city. Li Tingzhi then built a tall wall around it, and raised more than 2, refugees south of Bianjing to enrich the population in the city, and was named Wu Ruijun by imperial edict. He also overhauled the school, taught "Poetry" and "Book", made a bean, and practiced the ritual of shooting with the literati. When there is a flood and drought in the county, it is ordered to open the official treasury. If the treasury is insufficient, it will use its private property to help the victims. People in Yangzhou are grateful and respect their parents. When Liu entered Beijing from Huainan to the DPRK, Emperor Lizong asked him about Huainan, and Liu replied, "Li Tingzhi is prudent and the army and the people live in peace. Now the border defense is not frightened, and Pepsi is ready, which is the result of the candidates appointed by your majesty. "
In the fifth year of Xianchun (1269), Yuan soldiers from the north besieged Xiangyang, and the war was urgent. Xia Gui entered Xiangyang and was defeated by Huwei Prefecture. Fan Wenhu mobilized soldiers from all walks of life to help Xiangyang again, and was defeated again. Fan Wenhu was able to escape in a canoe, and the ranks were in chaos. Many soldiers fell into the Hanshui River and drowned. In winter, the court ordered Li Tingzhi to set up ambassador DuShi to assist Xiangyang with Jinghu system. When Fan Wenhu heard that Li Tingzhi had arrived in Xiangyang, he sent a letter to Jia Sidao: "I led tens of thousands of troops to attack Xiangyang, and I can win the first world war by flattening the enemy. Just don't let me take orders from the Beijing-Lake commander, and the credit will be attributed to Enxiang." Jia Sidao was so happy that he appointed Fan Wenhu as an observer in Fuzhou, and his army was also under his command. Fan Wenhu takes beautiful concubines every day, and takes pleasure in the army. Li Tingzhi tried to enter the army many times, and Fan Wenhu replied, "I sent someone to get the decree and haven't returned yet." In June of the following year, the Hanshui River flooded, and Fan Wenhu had to send troops. Before the troops reached Lumen, they fled halfway. Li Tingzhi personally impeached him for many times and asked him to take his place. Without approval, Xiangyang was lost. Chen Yizhong invited Fan Wenhu to be killed, while Jia Sidao defended him, only relegating him to the position of magistrate of Anqing Prefecture, while relegating Li Tingzhi and his Ministry, Su Liuyi and Fan Youxin, to Guangnan. Li Tingzhi dismissed from office in Jingkou.
not long after, Dayuan soldiers besieged Yangzhou, made Yinying die in a thunderstorm, and Li Ting was used immediately.
