Read the law carefully, vindicate the robbery in southern Yunnan, and promote the doctor. From the provincial prison of Chen, he came out as Gao Lian Dao of Guangdong Province. He passed through the provincial envoys of Fujian Province, the governor of the governor's office of Guangdong Province, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of war. He moved to the left in the case of failing to observe the Qing Dynasty, and soon made up for the right servant of the Ministry of punishment. He returned home with illness. Together with Pan Yi, Shi Shuyu, Wu Yusong, and Tao Shu, he was known as the "five old men of Canglang". Han Gu is known for his virtue. Shao Huineng, a scholar of Gongshi, asked the members of Meishi society. In his spare time of political affairs, he abandoned his books, so he named his studio "Huandu".

Position

Jiaqing six years, granted Hunan Yue Changli Road, moved according to the Chashi, transferred to Fujian, the Department of political envoys. Cai's side disturbed Taiwan, and there were many affairs in the sea and border areas. He raised arms and Du helped a lot, and moved to Hunan as an envoy. Eleven years, called for the Ministry of justice. In the 12th year, he was ordered to go to Jingzhou to deal with the magistrate according to general jilakan, and he was also ordered to explore Nanhe. In the 13th year, Zongshi Minxue, relying on his power and lawlessness, tried to belittle the comparison, and denounced Qu FA, a minister of the Ministry, for indulging in adultery. When he was appointed to Hejian prison, he didn't agree with Hua Nuo. He told him that he was ahead of Zhao, and his intention was to be excused. In addition, he was authorized to do some things, and he was good at it. Soon, he promoted the governor.

The last volume has a few leaves slightly watered and not serious, and the rest are in good condition.

Disputes

Although the process of a rape case happened in Shanxi during Han Gu's term of office is similar, the result of the event is quite different, which also has a profound impact on Han Gu's official career.

One said: add official rank to nobility

During Han Gu's official life, he was honest and upright, and dealt with injustice for the people. When he was an official in Shanxi Province, a girl was raped by gangsters and sued to the county government. Because of accepting bribes, the county government decided that she was adulterous and indulged in gangsters. After accepting the case, Han Gu studied it repeatedly and investigated it carefully. Finally, he found out the truth and punished the criminal severely according to the law. Han Gu was awarded by the imperial court for his impartiality, serving the people and punishing corrupt officials. He was awarded the honor of riding a horse in the Forbidden City.

Second, demobilization (more credible)

In the fourth year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, a rape case occurred in Yuci County, Shanxi Province. The magistrate LV Xiling accepted bribes and forced her to admit adultery. The daughter of the people committed suicide in anger, and her relatives came to Beijing to complain. The court ordered the governor to conduct a retrial in person, but the case was still closed by adultery. The plaintiff refused to accept the case and continued to inform Liang Zhongjing that he had personally handled the case in the Ministry of justice, and that the suspect was actually raped rather than adultery. He also discovered that all the officials in the original court were accepting bribes, bending the law for selfish purposes and harboring suspects. As a result, not only were the defendants interrogated and beheaded, but also many officials involved in the case were investigated and dealt with. They were demoted, dismissed, sent out and garrisoned, all of which deserved the punishment. Han Gu was the Minister of the Ministry of punishment at that time. When such a big event happened, so many people were punished. Even if he didn't take bribes, he was also liable for negligence. As a result, Han Gu was suspended from his post, explained the problem, and was finally sentenced to "demobilization", that is, to remove his post and send him to the frontier garrison. However, considering that he was 66 years old and had worked diligently for the imperial court all his life, Emperor Daoguang himself leniently ordered him to go to Malanyu and work for Emperor Daoguang's own Wannian Jidi engineering office.

Rebuilding Zhenwu Temple

On July 15 of the fourth year of Daoguang (1824), Han Gu arrived at Malanyu and lived in the east courtyard of the Zhenwu temple in the north of the stone city of Malanyu. There are three thatched cottages, which pillow the city and face the mountain. There are a lot of trees and vigorous momentum, which makes him feel fresh and empty, and his depression is dispelled immediately.

On the second day, he looked at the Zhenwu Pavilion, Guan Yu Temple and Town God's Temple on the west side of the residence. Zhenwu Pavilion, the three main hall, is dedicated to the true emperor Wu, and the west is three. It is dedicated to the statue of emperor Guan. It was transferred from a mausoleum, and then west to Town God's Temple. Han Gu saw that the statue was bright and dignified, tall and solemn, just like a living one. During the visit, the local Taoists told him that a lot of things happened here about the inspiration of God. He also pointed to the four old cypresses in front of the court, a pagoda tree in front of the temple and a Pan Gu Mo in front of the temple. I don't know that these are rare in the world for hundreds of years.

This temple pillow tower, upstairs there is a clock, clock engraved "Ming Jiajing forty years cast.". Laobai, shenhuai, Gumo and zhuzhong have expanded Han Gu's knowledge. Therefore, he wrote a poem "four kings chanting" to describe this beautiful scene. Later, his good friend, Jichang, who successively served as the chief officer of Malan town and the chief envoy of Jiangsu Province, also happily wrote poems for him. Jichang is a member of the Gengchen imperial examination in Manchuria, Zhengbai banner. On the third day of September in the third year of Daoguang, he was awarded the third grade minister and the second grade top belt. He returned to Beijing during his tenure of office. In September of the third year of Daoguang reign, he acted as the commander in chief of Malan town and Minister of internal affairs of Dongling. In March of the 5th year of Daoguang reign, he was awarded the post of Jiangsu chief secretary.

Looking back on the history of this temple, Han Gu knows that it was built by Zhang Rifu of Taiyuan, the Deputy General of the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1577). Since then, although it has been repaired occasionally, but after a long time, most of the main hall buildings, mountain gates, walls, etc. have been damaged, eroded by wind and rain, and will be abandoned if they are not repaired. Thus, Han Gu privately had the idea of repairing the temple.

After some efforts, two months later, the reconstruction project started, but soon stopped because of the freezing ground. Han Gu went home for a rest. In February of the next year, when the earth came back to spring, Han Gu came to the temple again. Yicheng, a Taoist priest of the temple, immediately came forward to salute him and told him, "the abbot has been determined to build the temple for a long time. Since you left, you have collected donations from local gentlemen, businessmen and farmers, and some of them have donated voluntarily. However, Malanyu, a place with poor land, caught up with the poor harvest the year before last. Every family had very little grain and savings, and only raised 600 yuan, so they could not do anything. The doctor of internal affairs, Qingyu, is very polite and kind. He has the forthright spirit of a knight. If he can get his promise and sponsorship, it will not be unsuccessful. "

The next day, Qingyu arrived. Han Gu told him that Qingyu was very happy and generously took the restoration of the temple as his responsibility. Then he talked to baileyiheng, a resident in Malanyu, and to his good friend, Guan Jichang, a former chief soldier of Malanyu, who was also willing to donate their salaries to help. Qingyu's friend and seal jingfulehuan also provided great help in sorting out materials, estimating projects and managing accounts. During the construction, he strictly required the craftsmen to change the materials according to the regulations. If the materials were rotten, they would make do with what they could use. Taoist Yicheng also followed the crowd to lift the basket and dig the soil, not afraid of hard work. In 1825, the construction started on March 25 and was completed on June 15. It took only 80 days. The newly built Zhenwu pavilion has a tall and beautiful roof and takes on a new look. Han Gu chose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to the gods. Officials, gentlemen and many people came to watch the ceremony and exult at the project.

Han Gu calculated that the total cost of this project is 1200 yuan, and there is nothing. It's really getting twice the result with half the effort. Han Gu believed that this was really accomplished through the efforts of Qingyu's generosity and fuller's encouragement. The Taoist priest, with his sincerity, wholeheartedness and unremitting efforts, can influence the hearts of the common people, which leads to such a good result, and his credit can not be buried. The names of the sporadic donors are listed on the back of the stele to record their common good deeds.

It should be pointed out that according to the text on the newly discovered building components of Zhenwu temple, Han Gu used the materials for building the mausoleum of Emperor Daoguang to rebuild Zhenwu temple.

Han Gu worships Zhenwu and believes that Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province is the most famous. It is located in famous mountains and rivers, and businessmen from all directions vie to go there. In a small frontier area like Malanyu, there are few people. There is no record of the time when the temple was built. Even in the inscriptions of the former Ming Dynasty when Duke Zhang moved to build the temple, there is no detailed description of where the original temple was first built, which shows that it is not well-known.

At the same time, he thought that Malanyu belonged to youbeiping, 300 Li northeast of Beijing, and belonged to the north pole of emperor Zhenwu. Besides, there are many mausoleums here, and now baohuayu, which is about five miles away from the temple, is an auspicious place for today's saint. Therefore, it is also a place to admire.

As a result, he also thought of the disaster of being demoted for some reason that had just happened before. When his family asked for emperor Guandi's Lingqian for him, the Lingqian had a verse of "good living outside beishanmenwai". Today, he came to this place, just under the temple of the northern emperor. He could live here safely and avoid guarding the border in the distance. It seems that there is a certain number in the underworld, and the gods are secretly protecting him. Sure enough, the next year, Han Gu was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of punishment by the imperial court. However, not long later, he "begged to return because of illness" and died in the 14th year of Daoguang.

With a heart of gratitude, Han Gu, in the low tide of his life, never loses heart, never gives up, never gets tired, and tries his best to do what he can. This is the pursuit of all men of insight throughout the ages. However, it is a pity that the stone tablet engraved with Han Gu's article "the story of rebuilding Zhenwu Pavilion" has not been found so far.

Anti British action

At that time, the British warships occupied the fort of Macao and entered Huangpu. They began to retreat after a long time. Governor Wu xiongguang did not immediately send troops to expel him. He gave up his crime and ordered him to serve as governor. In the 14th year, he visited Macao
