Lu Xiufu

Lu Xiufu

Lu Xiufu (1235-1279), a native of Yancheng County, Chuzhou (now Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province), was a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. When Lu Xiufu was 20 years old (the fourth year of Baoyou's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty), he joined Wen Tianxiang in the list of Jinshi. In the first year of Xiangxing (1278), he was the Prime Minister of Zuo. In February of the next year, the yuan army committed a large-scale crime in the south. Lu Xiufu, the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, was stationed in Yashan to resist the Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was defeated in the war. After driving his wife and son into the sea, he carried a jade seal and threw himself into the sea. He died at the age of 44.

Life of the characters

begin to display one 's talent

When Lu Xiufu was three years old, his father moved his family to Zhenjiang. When he was a little older, he studied with two Mr. Meng in his hometown. Mr. Meng often had more than 100 students, but he only pointed to Lu Xiufu and said, "this little guy is not ordinary." In the first year of JINGDING (1260 AD), he was admitted to Jinshi. When Li Tingzhi was guarding Huainan, he heard about Lu Xiufu and sent him to his own shogunate. At that time, people in the world said that Li Tingzhi in Huainan was the most talented person, known as the "small court".

Lu Xiufu had a clear mind, and few scholars at that time could catch up with him. He was quiet and didn't want to be known by others. Whenever the staff came to the official office to see him, the guests and the host were happy together. Only Lu Xiufu was silent and didn't say a word. Sometimes, he held banquets in the mansion. At banquets, he always sat upright, reserved and solemn, and seldom communicated with others. When he inspected his affairs, he managed very well. Li Tingzhi valued him even more. Even if he was transferred to an official post, he would not let Lu Xiufu leave him. Since he came to Li Tingzhi's shogunate, he had been promoted three times until he was in charge of opportunistic writing.

Stepping into official career

In 1274 A.D., Li Tingzhi was appointed as the governor of huaidong and promoted Lu Xiufu to the Senate. In the first year of Deyou (1275 AD), the frontier defense was urgent, and most of the staff fled. Only Lu Xiufu did not leave. Li Tingzhi recommended Lu Xiufu to the imperial court, so he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Si Nong temple. He was promoted many times until he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Zongzheng and an agent of the living room.

In the first month of the second year of Deyou (1276 A.D.), he went to the front line as the Minister of rites to make peace. Before he arrived, the enemy went back on his words. When the second king came to Wenzhou, Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi followed him and sent people to recall Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie, so they all supported him in Fuzhou. He was promoted to a Bachelor of Duanming palace and issued the Privy Council. Because Lu Xiufu has been in the army for a long time, Chen Yizhong is familiar with military affairs. He always asks for Lu Xiufu's advice and then handles everything. Lu Xiufu also gives advice to him wholeheartedly. In the process of remonstrating, Lu yizou and Chen Xiufu impeached him. Zhang Shijie reproached Chen Yizhong and said, "when is this, and how often do you want Taiwan's remonstrant officials to impeach people?" Chen Yizhong was very frightened and recalled Lu Xiufu in a hurry.

Uphold the government

At that time, the monarch and his ministers were in exile on the seashore, and the big and small political affairs were neglected. Princess Yang listened to the government behind the curtain, talked with her ministers and called herself a slave. Every time when the ministers meet in court, Lu Xiufu still holds his hand, just like he used to go to court. Sometimes, on the way, he tears down and wipes his tears with his court clothes. His clothes are all wet through, and all the people around him are very sad. Because of the strong wind in Jingao, King Yi died of fright, and all the officials wanted to take this opportunity to leave. Lu Xiufu said, "emperor duzong has a son. What should we do with him? Among the ancients, there were those who achieved prosperity only by relying on one brigade. But now we have hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of troops. If Heaven hadn't wanted to exterminate the Song Dynasty, couldn't it be that way to revitalize the country? " So he and his ministers supported the king of Wei. At that time, Chen Yizhong went to Zhancheng. Because of his disagreement with Zhang Shijie, he was not recruited many times. Therefore, Lu Xiufu was the Prime Minister of the left, and he and Zhang Shijie jointly ruled. At that time, Zhang Shijie led the troops and garrisoned at Yashan, while Lu Xiufu not only had to raise troops, but also had to mobilize workers, and he had to do everything he needed to write. Although he was in a hurry with many affairs and time, he still wrote "College chapters" every day to persuade others.

Take the emperor to the sea

When Lu Xiufu was at sea, he wrote down all the stories of the two kings in detail and collected them into a book. He gave the book to Deng Guangjian, the Minister of rites. He said, "if you are lucky enough not to die, pass the book on."

One night in February of the 16th year of the Zhiyuan Dynasty (1279 A.D.), the wind and rain were dim and foggy, and it was impossible to distinguish between them within a short distance. Zhang Shijie sent a boat to the master of the Song Dynasty to serve him on his boat and plan to break out. However, Lu Xiufu was afraid of being betrayed or captured, and obstinately refused to take him on board. When houya mountain was conquered, Lu Xiufu fled with the ship guarding the king, while Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi escaped separately. Considering that it was difficult to escape, Lu Xiufu drove his wife and children to the sea, carrying the king to the sea and died at the age of 44. In the 5000 year history of China, Lu Xiufu is also the only patriotic prime minister who bravely walked the sea and died for his country,.

After the cliff was settled, Deng Guangjian took the book back to Luling. When Deng Guangjian passed away, there was no way to know the survival of this book. Therefore, the details of that maritime incident can no longer be known to the world.

personal works

Later generations compiled his works into the collection of Lu Zhonglie in memory of this anti yuan hero who lived and died with the Communist Party of China.

Historical evaluation

The history of the Song Dynasty: Xiufu's talent and thought are clear and beautiful, which few scholars can reach at that time. He has a quiet nature and is meticulous in seeking knowledge.

Jiang Yikui: at that time, there was an omen that said, "the man who holds the sky, Wen Tianxiang. Lu Xiufu is a Japanese supporter. “

Lin Jingxi: Zichen and Huangge share the same boat, the sea is dim, the sun and the moon are partial. There is no place to walk in the flat land, and my heart is still in the years of Zhongxing. Raw Tibetan fish belly does not see water, dead hold dragon must straight to heaven. Edition Dang pure minister has such, lingers on forever, has no front.

Qu you: as recorded in Yu Guan's volume, Lu Xiufu died for the country, his family xuanweng kept his integrity, and Wang Shuiyun gave it back. It is enough to be a ugly and treacherous minister and a strong and righteous man.

Xie Jin: after the failure of the cliff, Xiangxing floated away with several boats in the black clouds. Zai holds Lu Xiucai to die in the water. He is devoted to the poem of eternal harmony in the sky and water.

Zhao Wenlian: the deeds of Zhan, Guang, Xiufu, Shijie, Kun Yao, Shi CE. The later theorists all look up to his style and ambition, and want to see him as a person.

Cai Dongfan: when he Wen, Zhang and Lu traveled all over the world, they could not return. They were especially lamentable and admirable. It is a corner where the Six Harmonies are all over and the city can't defend the island. Knowing that it's useless, it turns out to be a love fool. Later generations may laugh at its pedantry. They don't know the current situation. There is no reason to exist. Wen, Zhang and Lu are all in my heart. After reading Zhuge Wuhou's Houchu Shibiao, it is said at the end of the article: "to devote oneself to one's work, to die before one's death, and to be blunt in success or failure is not to be seen." Most loyal officials and righteous people have been like this for thousands of years? The Song Dynasty died, but the gang and Chang did not die. Therefore, Hu's fortune was less than a hundred years old and he returned to the Ming Dynasty. It was for one generation's sake, but for a hundred generations' sake, it was fortunate.

Xiong Yi: those famous Confucians, such as Xu Heng and Wu Cheng, all bow to the throne. Only Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and Xie Dieshan refused to serve yuan and died.

Commemoration of later generations

Gongfang ancestral hall

In the Ming Dynasty, "Lu Zhonglie Gong Fang" was built in Yancheng West Street, and "Lu Gong's hometown monument", the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, was erected in Confucianism street, on which was engraved "Hai Guo Gu Zhong". The monuments have been destroyed after many wars. However, the "Lu Zhonglie ancestral hall" built in the Confucian street of Yancheng in the 10th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1531 A.D.) still exists and has been restored for people to look forward to. It is a key cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level.

Master data: Lu Xiufu's tomb

According to Sanhe Town records, after Lu Xiufu died in the sea, his body floated to the sea, was picked up and buried in the second city of Xinhui (now Yicheng village, Duhu Town, Taishan City). After the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty, around 1370 in the early Ming Dynasty, someone built a solemn tomb for Lu Xiufu, with stone horses and lions in front of it. Beside the grave, there are also houses and tomb guards. It is said that Ercheng village was developed by the original tomb guard family.

Later, the tomb was destroyed. "Sanhe Town annals" records: "about the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Lu Xiufu tried to recover the old tomb. They decided to find a geomantic treasure land to build the tomb. So he chose to rebuild Lu Xiufu's tomb on the "horse tongue" of Lianan Mashan in Sanhe Town The tombstone is 78 cm high and 44 cm wide, and the stone is granite. It is engraved with the inscription "the tomb of the right Prime Minister of the state of song zuozhu who was named Zhongzhen lufujun after taboo Xiufu" and inscribed with the inscription "worshipping the sun, giving Jinshi his birth, conferring Zhongxian official to set up an inspection envoy of Guangxi to patrol Hualin Township, Beidao Township, Youjiang, and renovating Jinshi Xingzhong, Shuying, Wenzu, Jinquan, etc.".

It is also recorded in Kaiping county annals: "there is an ancient tomb at Mashan mashue, Dongshan Town, this city (county). It is buried by Lu Xiufu, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. The tomb is a mound tomb, sitting West to East, 5.1 meters long and 4 meters wide. There is a granite tombstone 78 cm long and 44.5 cm wide on the front of the tomb.
