analysis

Wei Liangchen was born in Gaochun County (today's Gaochun District of Nanjing City). He was a political figure in the early Southern Song Dynasty. For some reason, the history of the Song Dynasty compiled in the Yuan Dynasty did not give him a biography. His life history can only be understood by local chronicles and other historical records. In the 13th volume of Zhizheng Jinling new records compiled by Zhang Xuan of Yuan Dynasty, it is said: "in song and Wei dynasties, Liangchen was named Daobi. He was born in Nantang township of chongjiao Township, and had a magnificent negative quality. When he was young and returned to the prefecture, his mother's illness had already passed away. The Liangchen's cutting stock was Mi Yijin, and his swallowing was safety, so he was called filial piety in Changli. Xuanhe three years (1121) ascended Jinshi. In the early days, he planned to be a Dantu, and he wrote a letter to avenge Chen Dongyuan, a great scholar. In addition to the imperial edict, the officials were removed and the officials were removed. When the Jin people offended Gao you, they chose an envoy to make peace and said, "Wei Liangchen has a lot of integrity and should go there." The envoys returned, the old prime minister went to the country, the court did not agree, the beggars returned to the temple, idle waste years. In addition to the official of the Ministry of rites, he was moved to the left and right departments. When Qin Hui was in power, he wanted to give him a position of speech. Shijin people lost the league. He promoted the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, served as an envoy, supported the elite and feared them. The good officials were calm and did not frighten them. They debated in detail repeatedly until they reached the initial stage of discussion. Later, they participated in the great political affairs, released the prisoners in their clothes, released the injustice of changing miasma, raised the flood and suppressed, denounced the traitors, repaired the military and political affairs, stopped the redundant personnel, and saved the floating expenses. In the late Qing Dynasty, I learned about the four counties of Shaoxing, i.e., Xuanzhou, Xiangtan and Hongzhou. He died 69 years ago. As a gift to doctor Guanglu, the founding Marquis of Jiankang County, he ate a thousand and three hundred households in the city, and was granted two hundred households in fact. His posthumous title was "Min Su". the deeds of the Wei family recorded in the Yuan Dynasty are the most detailed. Later local chronicles, such as Lishui County Chronicle of Guangxu, Xuancheng County Chronicle of Guangxu and Gaochun County Chronicle of the Republic of China, recorded many good officials according to Yuan chronicles. Therefore, to further study Wei Liangchen, we must refer to various historical records since the Song Dynasty.

Dispute 1: Wei Liangchen moved his family to Xuancheng, not from his young son Shujie.

According to Chen Liang's official minister Zhang Gong's letter of conduct: "turn to fenglang in the left court, take charge of Taizhou's worship of Taoism, add the power to judge Xuanzhou, and turn to Sanlang in the court. At that time, the good officials of the Duke of Wei offended Li Ju, and the Duke tried to disobey him. The Duke of Wei was unbearable, and the Duke did not move. The good officials knew the Duke. When Qin Hui died, good officials came to know the affairs of the government and played the role of the governor of Zhejiang Province (Volume 26 of Longchuan Collection) it can be seen that the place where Wei Liangchen lived was Xuancheng, not Gaochun. In addition, Wei Liangchen's second son, Wei Zhonggong, compiled Zhu Shuzhen's heartbroken collection in the ninth year of Chunxi, and wrote it in an orderly way. He also signed it as "Zui Jushi Wanling Wei Zhonggong Duanli Shu" (Quan Song Wen, volume 6269). It can be seen that the Wei family's migration to Xuancheng did not begin with their young son.

Dispute 2: loyalty or treachery?

Some experts in the field of historiography think that Wei Liangchen is suspected of betraying his country and seeking peace, while others think that Wei Liangchen is a loyal minister without doubt, and only adopts a more intelligent and moderate strategy on the road of saving the country and serving the country.
