Yu Shen (about 1050-1130), whose name was Yuanzhong, was born in Fuzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082) of emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. He was appointed as Taizi (Deputy Prime Minister). He paid homage to Shaobao, granted fengguogong, and then granted weiguogong and Taifu.

Li Si Feng Yuan wailang, censor of supervision, censor in the palace, censor Zhongcheng and Shidu. Censor Zhongcheng is the chief officer of the censor station, and the censor station is in charge of inspecting official evils and upholding discipline, which is similar to the Discipline Inspection Commission of the people's Republic of China. If there is a case involving officials, the censor should also send officers to participate in the case. In the late years of Chongning, Zhang huaisu, a demon, conspired against him. The case was jointly tried by Kaifeng government and Yushitai,

According to historical records, after Cai Jing first became an official in June of three years, he was "deeply uneasy, tired and spared".

In the seventh year, he entered Shao Zai and served as the Minister of Zhongshu (Cai Jing became the supreme prime minister, changing the left prime minister to Tai Zai and the right prime minister to Shao Zai). The first year of Xuanhe (1119) paid homage to taizai. Add Shaobao, fengguogong, then weiguogong. Xuanhe two years, to "zhe Zong Baoxun" into Shaofu. At that time, Cai Jing and other six thieves vigorously promoted huashigang and severely stripped the common people. The responsibility of paying tribute to flowers and fruits in Fujian is becoming more and more serious. Taking litchi as an example, sanshanzhi recorded that there were 60000 dried litchi in the second year of Xiangfu (1009) in Dazhong, more than 83000 imported by Xuanhe, 100000 fresh litchi in Yuanyuan (1105) in the fourth year of Chongning, and 10600 added by Xuanhe. The problem is not only that the number of local officials has increased, but also that local officials have taken the opportunity to collect the common people. In view of this,

resign from an official post
In 1123, Yu Xiangwei, Fujian's governor and governor of Fuzhou, flattered Yu Shen, the prime minister who had already become an official. He changed his name to Yijin Pavilion, which was originally named "Shuangxin" and later named "Shangxin". Yu Shen's residence in Ximen, Kuan Hong, is far-reaching, which may be suspected of "invading the fishing people to their houses in the temple to build Guangdi residence" (the official records of Fuzhou (Zhengde) is called Qingfeng hall language of prime minister Zheng Xingzhi's residence), so this place is also called Yu Fu Lane. Interestingly, Yu Shen's mansion had been set up as a school in Huai'an County in Ming Dynasty.
Character evaluation
It is listed in the complete biography of the Prime Minister of China published by China personnel publishing house. Because he was introduced by the treacherous Minister Cai Jing, he was often criticized by people at that time, such as the history of Song Dynasty. But later generations gave more excuses. In the Ming Dynasty, he was included in the biography of characters and called his loyal admonition.
Anecdotes and allusions
Construction of yujiatang
Yu Shen's hometown is located in siliqu, Luoyuan County, where he has a book collection office. Zhou Huan is all water and is called Yuhuan hall. Yu Shen is a Jinshi in the capital. After he stayed in the capital as an official, he seldom went home. His father Yu mengjian and his family Yu Zhong lived in Laofang. Soon after old master Yu passed away, he was at home. The next Qingming Festival, Yu Shen took his family, Yu Zhong, and invited a Feng Shui gentleman to his father's grave. His father's tomb is located on Lianhua Mountain in the southern suburb of Lianhua county. Looking from afar at XiMao mountain and Xianmao mountain, the three mountains are facing each other. It is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen. Moreover, the tomb is built in the tiger cave, one of the five tigers descending from Lianhua mountain. According to geomantic geography, if you are buried in this treasure cave, you will find a noble person. At this time, although Yu Shen lived in the capital, he was only a small official of eight grades. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of tomb sweeping, he invited this geomantic gentleman. After measuring with a compass, Mr. Feng Shui said that this acupoint is right, and the position and sitting posture are right. A tiger could have crossed the mountain, and it would have developed after crossing the mountain. But at present, the problem is that the tiger's way to cross the mountain is blocked by the tide of wulidu. When the tiger jumps, it falls into the sea. It can't cross the mountain to the shore. If the tiger can't cross the sea, it can't go to another mountain. Master, you can't be promoted. Unless you build a dam at the seaside, let the tiger cross the dam, and then go to another mountain, master, you may be greatly developed. But this will destroy the geomantic omen of this county, and so on After that, Luo Yuan won't be the number one scholar, unless the master destroys the dam after his promotion. Yu Shen nodded. Shortly after returning home, he used the capital's savings to recruit a group of strong laborers and clansmen. He spent more than a year building the dam on the beach in the east corner of the county. However, because it was a tidal flat, he could not grow vegetables, fruits or fish, so he had to lead several nearby mountains and rivers to build a pond and grow some lotus flowers. The lotus pond was built by Yu Shen, so it was difficult for him to grow They call it yujiatang, which is where the "nine centers" are now. This name is still used today.
Three years later, Yu shendingyou ended up and went to Beijing to take office. This was really a tiger crossing the mountain, whistling all the way. Yu Shen supervised the imperial censor and the imperial censor in the palace by his book Zuo Langli. He tired the official censor Zhongcheng as well as the official censor. Later, he made friends with Cai Jing and was granted the title of Taizi (Vice Prime Minister). He paid homage to Shaobao, granted the title of Duke Feng, and then granted the title of Duke Wei and Taifu. It's really smooth sailing. It's not so beautiful to be promoted to a higher rank.
One day, Yu Zhong's family came to Beijing and sent Yu Shen a letter. It means that in recent years, the embankments have become longer and longer, the lotus ponds have become bigger and bigger, and the mountains and waters have become less and less. Sand has accumulated in many places around, and grass has grown. There are no lotus trees left. Is it right to transform the water into farmland for farming crops? But at present, there is a shortage of water. Can you ask the master to repair a letter to the magistrate He asked him to allow the water from xiaoxiwai River to irrigate yujiatang without mentioning the destruction of the dike. After receiving the letter, Yu Shen thought about it again and again. He thought that if the water from xiaoxiwai river had to pass through xiaoximen and then come out of the north gate next to zhangjiezhe school palace, it would certainly cause discontent among the masses. As the saying goes, "it's better to commit tiantiao than public anger." he still wanted to find a way. So after a few days of careful consideration, to a word game. He wrote two letters to his family, one to the magistrate, in which he only asked to borrow a foot of water, and the other told his family to wait until the magistrate promised to do it again. When Yu Zhong got home, he sent a letter to the magistrate. After reading the letter, the magistrate thought it was too polite for him to borrow a foot of water, so he agreed. When the family knew about it, they opened the second letter and acted according to the plan. They organized a lot of labor overnight and dug a one foot wide river from Xiaoxi to yujiatang. The river flowed continuously into yujiatang's fields. At dawn, when the magistrate knew about it, he was foolish and helpless. The common people felt that it was convenient to use water for cooked rice, From then on, Luoyuan Chengguan had a flood drainage ditch through the city. (in the early 1990s, due to continuous urban reconstruction, it changed from open ditch to underground ditch.) In the future, no matter how much flood happens in Luoyuan City, there will be no waterlogging. Yujiatang no longer grows lotus and begins to grow rice. Ten thousand hectares of lotus pond has become ten thousand mu of good land. In order to protect the paddy field, later generations constantly strengthened the dam. Only when the tide of a typhoon lasted for 15 years did they occasionally submerge the paddy field. However, Luo Yuan has never been the number one scholar since then, and no official position is higher than Yu Shen. For this matter, the common people did not forget Mr. Feng Shui's words, they made up a prophecy: "water breaks the yujiatang, when the number one scholar square.". I want to remind you that after all, it's just slang. So far, the yujiatang has not been broken, so Luo Yuan will not be the number one scholar, nor the number one scholar square.
However, yujiatang was built more than 900 years ago by the people of Luoyuan. It is the first time in Luoyuan's history of reclaiming land from the sea. Its contribution is indispensable, and its function is also to benefit the people living on this land today.
Avoid the suspicion of relatives
After Yu Shen formed a party with Cai Jing, he won the favor of Emperor Huizong. Daguan three years (1109) Daguan three years (1109) big year,

He thought that he should avoid suspicion and should not admit his brother. Other examiners did not agree with him, so he asked the emperor not to admit him. After another three years, Yu Guangting entered the examination again and was among the best. Huizong of Song Dynasty appreciated his name.
The edge knot is deep in litchi
When Yu Shen was in power, he was deeply admired by Emperor Huizong because of his affiliation with Cai Jing and his talent. Emperor Huizong was not an emperor who ruled the country, but a romantic emperor. He liked to recite poems, write and paint. He often played Qin Lou and played zither in the Qin Lou, and lived a miserable life relying on red and green. One summer in Xuanhe's reign, Emperor Huizong was so happy that he summoned his officials to the royal garden to taste the newly paid litchi in Southern Fujian, and wrote a poem on the spot in the form of the fourteen colds, in which there was a sentence: "the jade liquid coagulates the dew of the fairy's palm, and the red yarn takes off the crystal pill." To participate in this feast, every minister felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime honor for the emperor, not to mention tasting the best food he gave the emperor at that time
