Life of the characters

Mei Zhihuan, whose name is binfu, was born in Macheng, Huguang, and is the nephew of his servant Mei Guozhen. He became a student at the age of 14. The censor went to the Ministry to review the military equipment, and Mei Zhihuan rode into the teaching ground. The censor got angry and ordered him to compete with the timber officer in archery. Mei Zhihuan nine hair nine, long Yishang Ma Yang long away.

Wanli 32 years (1604) in the examination of Jinshi, changed to Shuji Shi. Seven years later, he was appointed to Shizhong. Li Jun, eunuch of the East chamber, framed and tortured the businessman, and Mei Zhihuan impeached him for his crime. Soon Shangshu said: "in today's country, the people are poor, the Treasury is short, bandits are rampant, and the army is weak. Officials don't talk about state affairs, but they fight among factions. Officials give up their jobs and make empty remarks. The affairs of the country are all bound by false words. Some people try to carry out some reforms, either because they are too busy or they are very demanding. When the reform failed, slander followed, justice was not done, but the enemy got a lot. The hero is disheartened, the mediocre is in power, and there is no way to do things in the country. I request your majesty to make a strict investigation, to seek truth from facts, to dredge the way of speech, to strengthen the organization and discipline, and to cherish talents by distinguishing between praise and criticism. Only in this way can the country have hope. " At that time, the Minister of the central government of the people's Republic of China ganged up to fight with each other. Mei Zhihuan kept himself clean. He once said, "those who depend on villains must be villains, and those who depend on gentlemen may not be gentlemen. A fly attached to a horse is still a fly even if it has traveled thousands of miles. " At that time, some people investigated the former Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng. Mei Zhihuan said, "if there are people like Zhang Juzheng today who assess the name and reality and rectify the discipline, can those shameless villains who slander and frame others still be so rampant?" he just presided over justice like this and did not agree with others. He was sent to be the Deputy envoy of Guangdong Province. Some local powerful men threw the martyr into the river and killed him. Mei Zhihuan killed him. The common people admired his wisdom. After Yuan Jin robbed Chaozhou, Mei Zhihuan controlled the sea passage, appeased and dismissed his accomplices, and finally subdued yuan Jin. Later, he was sent to study politics in Shandong.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the autumn festival of Wenjin Academy was held between Macheng and Wenjin Academy. There is a poem "ask for the river of Tianjin through the ages, and drive the people to pass the years". At that time, he was a famous scholar in the middle of Chu. He was also known as the "three elders of Xiling" with Li Changgeng, the Minister of the Ministry of Li, and Liu Zhongying, the Minister of the Ministry of Li.

In the first year of Tianqi (1621), Mei Zhihuan was recalled by the general counsellor and appointed as Shaoqing of Taichang. He was promoted to be the censor of Youjin capital and the governor of Nanchang and Ganzhou. Just in time for the death of his parents, he went home to live in seclusion. At this time, Wei Zhongxian and Hakka disturbed the government, and Yingshan Yanglian first exposed Wei Zhongxian's evil. Wei Zhongxian hated him and killed Yang Lian. From then on, he killed the good people more fearlessly and felt more aggrieved towards the Chu people. It is said that when Yang Lian was arrested, he passed by Macheng and was guilty. Mei Zhihuan stayed with him for several days, weeping bitterly. In fact, Yang Lian did not pass by Macheng. Soon after, Liang Keshun, the rebel party, falsely accused him of harboring stolen money and issued an imperial edict to investigate his stolen money.

Emperor Zhuang Liedi (emperor Chongzhen) ascended the throne, so he was exempted from investigation, resumed his official post and appointed governor of Gansu. He defeated the bandits in Hetao, beheaded more than 700 people, captured three tribal chiefs alive, and recruited more than 600 people. In the spring of the next year, the enemy once again invaded the mainland on a large scale, and the area around Dahuangshan was infected with smallpox. Each will request to take a plane to annihilate them, but Mei Zhihuan disagrees. He said: "it's not benevolent to laugh at other people's calamities. It's not brave to take advantage of other people's calamities to attack. It's better to give them up to establish our virtue." So they didn't attack. After a month, the bandits looked at the border town, patted their forehead and left crying. In winter, the capital was under martial law. He was ordered to defend the capital. We are about to set out. The enemy in the West invades Hexi by empty air. Mei Zhihuan stayed behind and sent troops to ambush behind Helan Mountain to meet the enemy on the way back. His troops came out of Shuiquan gorge, won the Second World War and decapitated more than 840 levels. Lead the troops to the East. Soon after, the fierce soldier Wang Jincai killed the general sun Huaizhong and others, rebelled and fled to Lanzhou. Mei Zhihuan then moved westward, calmed the rebellion, and reorganized the army and set out eastward. He arrived in the capital in May the next year and was already late. There is an imperial edict for Mei Zhihuan to go to court. The next day, he ordered Mei Zhihuan to suspend his post and wait for the investigation. At this time, Wen Tiren was in power. At the beginning, Wen Tiren attacked Qian Qianyi, and Mei Zhihuan wrote to protect him. At this time, Wen Ti Ren remembers his former feud and gives Mei Zhihuan punishment.

Although Mei Zhihuan was a scholar, he had the ability of a general and was good at archery. After he was dismissed, he had nothing to show. There are many robbers in the mountains of his county. Mei Zhihuan has nothing to do. He often leads strong warriors to help local officials catch him. There is no one who can escape. Before that, there was a mutiny in Gansu Province, and the soldiers who fled were afraid of being killed. They often fled to the valley to become robbers, and the bandits became more powerful. At this time, tens of thousands of robbers came to attack Macheng. Seeing Mei Zhihuan's military deployment, they led the soldiers away. The emperor recalled the merits of Gansu Province, restored Mei Zhihuan's official position and granted him one of his sons, but he didn't call him in the end. He died the next year.

The official speech and the state affairs are contending for the current situation, and the office of Cao she in the Ministry is in charge of building empty words. The world is bound by empty words. Those who intend to shake things up, not to make trouble, are demanding. The state affairs will not be able to be carried out if there is slander or resentment before the matter is done, if the law is not extended, if the hero is disheartened, and if the mediocre is humble. Your majesty, please be strict and comprehensive, be responsible for the actual situation, talk about the road, and record the outline. Don't cherish the talents, and be good at the state affairs.
