Life of the characters

Han Sifu (652-725) was a minister in the middle Tang Dynasty. Jingzhao is from Chang'an (now Xi'an city). Young studious, scholar in the forefront. He was the Baron of Changshan County. At the beginning of his official career, he joined the army in bianzhou. He was lenient and didn't impose excessive punishment. Long live Empress Wu. In the second year of Tongtian (697), Yao Chong, the official servant of Xia Dynasty, appreciated him and promoted him to doctor Si Li. Later, he moved to be a doctor in the Ministry of rites. In March of the second year of Zhongzong Shenlong (706), he was denounced as the first governor, and later as the governor of Xiangzhou. At the end of Jinglong's reign (710), he was transferred to the imperial government.
In June of that year, Zhongzong Li Xian was poisoned by Empress Wei and others. Empress Wei was called the imperial court. This month, Li Longji instigated a coup, killed empress Wei and her party members, and supported Ruizong Li Dan to the throne. At that time, Zuo Sanqi often served Yan Shansi, who was implicated in the incident of Li Chongfu, king of Qiao, and was sentenced to death. Si Fu rejected Yousi's memorials and said: "it is necessary to postpone death in prison, and set out the rules and regulations; punishment should be lenient, and there is a national code. Yan Shansi was in the early Dynasty. He was Wei's good at internal affairs. He spoiled Gongye and murdered the clan. Good thinking at this time can be foresight, because of yixiangfu invention, into the Shenggong will ascend the Chen pole. Although friendship is a blessing, Gai plans to trap Webster But the punishment is a pity, and the matter is clear and detailed. Please pay the group officer of the Ministry of punishment to make a decision so as to comply with the sentence of caution. " [Note: Han Si's biography in the old book of the Tang Dynasty] most of the officials who participated in the discussion thought that good thinking should be punished with a lighter punishment, but Yousi still insisted on the previous hanging and asked the emperor to approve the execution. Si Fu once again refuted: "when the officials heard that the criminal was in the city, and the Baron was in the court, they would try their best to get together, and then they would have no doubt." The Fu Emperor's doorknob is nine heavy, and the painting is far away. Therefore, by the ears of the world to listen, listening to all are not deaf; by the eyes of the world to see, seeing all receive. Today, it is said that the selection should be judged. If you abandon more, there will be less. I'm afraid. " [Note: Han Si's biography in the old book of the Tang Dynasty] Ruizong adopted his advice, and instead of Yan Shansi's death penalty, he was exiled to Jingzhou. Sifu was transferred to Zhongshu Sheren and became a close official of the emperor. He discussed the important affairs of the court several times, which was adopted by the emperor.
In the early years of Emperor Xuanzong's reign, Sifu was a doctor of remonstrance. In May of the third year (715), a plague of locusts occurred in various prefectures of Shandong Province. Prime Minister Yao Chong played in Xuanzong and sent locust driving envoys to the severely damaged areas of Henan and Hebei, urging local officials to launch farmers to hunt, kill and burn. In the summer of the fourth year, the locust disaster resumed in some places, and the local government still chased and burned the locusts, which achieved certain results. Only Ni Ruoshui, the governor of bianzhou, executed the method of burning and burying the locusts, who "captured 140000 stones of locusts and threw them into bianzhou, who could not win the discipline". [Note: Han Si's biography in the old book of Tang Dynasty] However, he thought that "locusts are natural disasters, and it is impossible for human beings to cut them out when they are cultivated by virtue.". [Note: Han Sifu's biography of the old book of the Tang Dynasty] Shangshu opposed Yao Chong's killing method, and suggested that Xuanzong "hope your majesty repent and bow, send envoys to comfort him, damage his immediate business, summon people to the public, unite the upper and the lower, have the same virtue of the monarch and the officials, and hold this honesty to answer the blame.". [Note: Han Sifu's biography in the old book of the Tang Dynasty] demanded that the locust driving envoys should be stopped and prayed to heaven for protection. His views represented the understanding of some court officials at that time, which once shaken the thought of Xuanzong. Xuanzong handed over the memorial of Sifu to Yao Chong, who suggested sending Sifu to Shandong to inspect the locust catching situation. The report that Sifu sent people back to provide obviously obeyed Sifu's theory. Yao Chong sent people to "re add detailed reply" and told Xuanzong the truth, which finally strengthened Xuanzong's confidence in killing locusts. As a result, the anti locust policy continued to be implemented.
In the same year, he was transferred from the imperial court as governor of Dezhou to governor of Jiangzhou. In the winter, the bribery of Zhao Jiao, the master of Zhongshu, which Yao Chong personally used, came to light. Yao Chong interceded with him, and Xuanzong ordered him to be exiled. Yao Chong asked himself to leave the post of prime minister, and song Jing was the prime minister. He transferred his thoughts to the court and became the Minister of Huangmen.
At the beginning of the 11th year of Kaiyuan (723), Sifu followed Emperor Xuanzong to visit Taiyuan and other places in the north, and moved to be a royal historian. However, he was not suitable for law enforcement because he worshipped Confucianism and Taoism, and was good at benevolence and morality. Later, he was appointed governor of Jingzhou in the dynasty. He was famous for his outstanding achievements. Because of his old age, he became a guest of the prince. He died in 725, at the age of 74. Emperor Xuanzong inscribed the name of the tombstone for him, and Lu and Meng Haoran made the tombstone for him and erected it in Xianshan (in the suburb of Xiangfan, Hubei Province).

Historical records

Han Sifu is from Chang'an, Beijing. Zulun, a male of Changshan County, was given the title of Zuowei in Zhenguan. Think again and seldom attack the ancestors. At the beginning, he joined the army for bianzhou Si Hu. He was forgiving for politics, but not punishing with stick. When he was in office, his family was poor and his salary ended in death. At that time, Yao Chong was the official servant of Xia Dynasty. He knew the political affairs and sighed deeply. in the Dragon scenery, I move to the business. At that time, Zuo Sanqi often served Yan Shansi, who sat on King Qiao Chongfu to make a prison. A secretary said: "Shansi tried to be the governor of Ruzhou in the past. He made friends with Chongfu and called him to the capital. He didn't say that he was rebellious. He only said that" the eastern capital has military spirit. ". According to the pleading, if it's right or wrong, please hang it. " Si Fu refuted and said, "it's necessary to discuss the death penalty with a reprieve, and set out the rules and regulations; punishment should be lenient, and there is a national code.". Yan Shansi went to the early Dynasty, which was Wei's good at internal affairs. He relied on Gongye to threaten the clan. Good thinking at this time can be foresight, because of yixiangfu invention, into the Shenggong will ascend the Chen pole. Although friendship is very important, Gai plans to trap Webster. When he visited him, he did not listen to him. He hid this line, that is, from the extreme. And the imperial edict pursues the good thought, the book arrives then sends Better be on the run? One side of the net is sparse, and the other side of the net is sincere. But the punishment is a pity, and the matter is clear and detailed. Please pay the group officer of the Ministry of punishment to make a decision so as to comply with the sentence of caution. " It's the time when many commentators are good at thinking and accepting forgiveness. Some departments still hold the previous discussion and ask for punishment. Si Fu refuted: "when the officials heard that the punishers were in the city, and the barons were in the court, they would try their best to find a way to deal with each other. According to the opinions of all the ministers, Yan Shansi was admitted only once in ten years, and the punishment was light. The Fu Emperor's doorknob is nine heavy, and the painting is far away. Therefore, by the ears of the world to listen, listening to all are not deaf; by the eyes of the world to see, seeing all receive. Today, we have heard that it is appropriate to choose and judge. If we abandon more, there will be less. I'm a good boy, but I don't like it. Although I want to follow the crowd, I can reach it! Every hundred capital secretary, at the right time of the Thai, the official division, there are virtuous relatives. If you are a relative, you will be a vassal, and your majesty will love your son; if you are a virtuous person, you will be a famous minister. To be rude to you, would you rather be the same? There are too many words today, and the law is lighter. " If you play it, you can avoid thinking about death and go to Jingzhou. In the book of Zhongshu, I think about it again and again, but I don't know the gains and losses. At the beginning of Kaiyuan Dynasty, he was a counsellor. At that time, the grasshoppers rose in Shandong Province. Yao Chong was the commander of Zhongshu. He sent envoys to Henan and Hebei to kill the grasshoppers. Sifu thinks that locusts are natural disasters. When we cultivate morality, we can't eliminate them by human force. He Shangshu said: "when I heard of grasshoppers in Henan and Hebei, they became more and more popular in a few days. Where I experienced them, the Miao and Jia crops were damaged. Now I'm flying to the west of the river, and I'm traveling to Luoyang. I'm afraid to talk about my mission. I'm very afraid of several states in Shandong. And natural disasters are popular, so it is difficult to bury them. I hope your majesty repents and bows, sends envoys and comforts, and damages his unimportant task. He calls all the people of the public to be of one mind. The monarch and his ministers are of one virtue. He holds this honesty to answer the blame. Before and after the drive locust, etc., Fu Wang always stop. The book says, "if the emperor has no relatives, only virtue is a supplement; if the heart has no relatives, only favor is a bosom." We have to win people's hearts. " On the deep ran, out of thinking to pay Chongfu. Chongnai asked him to send Si Fu to Shandong Province to inspect the damage caused by locusts. Chong also asked the censor Liu Ruo to give a detailed reply. He wanted Chong's will, so he criticized the people and changed the old state to play it. From several states in Henan, it is unavoidable. Si Fu was pushed by Chong. He was appointed governor of Dezhou and transferred to governor of Jiangzhou. He was a minister of Huangmen, a doctor of Jiayin qingguanglu, and a doctor of Yushi on behalf of Pei Yu. It's not the mission of Ji Gang to think of and recover, to be calm, to be good at metaphysics, to be benevolent and to practice Taoism. Very few, turn to the prince. He died in 13 years and was over 70 years old.
