Ye Zuqia (1046-1117) was a native of yejiake, Chengguan, Taining, Fujian Province (at that time Taining belonged to Shao Wujun). He was born in 1046, the sixth year of Qingli reign of emperor Renzong, and died in 1117, the seventh year of Zhenghe reign of Emperor Huizong.

brief introduction

Ye Zuqia was a Han nationality. After he became the number one scholar, he was appointed a judge of Fengguo army who signed a letter. He was sentenced to be registered in the procuratorate. He was known as Huzhou by guozicheng and remained as a scholar. At the beginning of yuanyouchu (1086), he was a member of the Ministry of military and a member of the Ministry of rites. He was impeached out of Beijing for slandering the imperial court. Shao Shengzhong (1094-1098) was a doctor of Zuo Si, a living man, a scholar of Zhongshu, a scholar of geishizhong.

Ye Zuqia was headstrong and fond of flattery. He once told Wang Yao that he had an objection when he was registered as a philosopher, which led to his demotion. Because of his proposal to grant a pension to Cai Que and his family members, zhe Zong thought that Cai que could not be reused. Later, because of the involvement of others, ye Zuqia went out to know Jeju and moved to Hongzhou. He was famous for making profits. Ye Zuqia had a deep personal relationship with Zengbu. Zengbu called him to Beijing as the Minister of the Ministry of officials. Zengbu collapsed. Ye Zuqia went out to know Dingzhou and supervised Shangshu. He was denounced as arrogant and impetuous by Huizong. He wrote in Jixian hall, promoted Chongyou temple, knew Hongzhou, changed Bozhou, and added huiyouge.

He died in 1117.

Personal experience

Ye Zuqia was intelligent and studious since childhood. He was 18 years old and won the local examination.

During the reign of Zhiping (1064-1068), ye Zuqia traveled all over the country. He studied with Shaowu shangguanjun (later LongTuge), Youwu (later a famous Neo Confucianist and educator) and Shi Jingming as teachers and friends to study current problems and learn from each other.

Xining three years (1070), ye Zuqia high school champion.

In the third year of Xining (1070) of the Northern Song Dynasty, ye Zuqia, who was just the number one scholar in the army, was in charge of the map books of the whole world. In this year, Zhang Ruxian, his colleague and friend, the right doctor of Shangshu, was appointed as the road inspector of Fujian. Ye Zuqia entrusted him with the idea that "there is no water in the world and it does not face east". But Sihe River in front of Confucius' mansion in Qufu, Shandong Province, flowed 300 Li westward. Therefore, he came out of Confucius' sage and suggested to the emperor that Shanxi River in Guihua County, his hometown, flowed 30 Li westward from the county seat to Meikou township. It is also a treasure land of outstanding people, so the name of Guihua county should be changed. At that time, Taining was really a good place for people to be outstanding. The style of writing was brilliant and the voice of writing rose. During the three to nine years of Xining, there were "seven years, three subjects, six scholars, and one number one scholar". In the first year of Yuanyou (1086), Zhao Xu, the philosopher of Song Dynasty, granted the county name "Taining", the official name of Confucius' palace in Qufu, to show his love, praise and encouragement.

It is said that the number one scholar of yezuqia high school was related to Wang Anshi's political struggle of "reform" in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi (1021-1086), named Jiefu, was born in Linchuan, Fuzhou (now Jiangxi). Song Renzong Qingli two years (1042) Jinshi. During the reign of Shenzong Xining, two Tongping Zhangshi (Prime Minister) carried out political reform in an attempt to change the situation of poverty and weakness in the Song Dynasty. In the third year of Xining, it was LV Huiqing, the main backbone of Wang Anshi's "reform" school, who was the chief examiner. As for the choice of the number one scholar in this list, there is a record in xuzizhitongjian: when Dianting tried the strategy, "zuqiacei said:" most of the ancestors followed the simple policy, and your majesty ascended the throne and changed it. " It is intended to join in. Lu Huiqing, the examiner, was in a higher position when he was in the league, while those who criticized him were in a lower position. Li Dalin and Su Shi ranked first in Shangguan, second in yezuqia and fifth in Lu Dian. The emperor ordered Chen Shengzhi to read the policy of equality in front of him, and promoted Zuqia as the first Su Shi said: "Zuqia slandered his ancestors in order to flatter the emperor, but kuidoshi, why is it just weathering?" It's the first article of the Jinshi. " It was at this time that ye Zuqia was selected as the number one scholar in support of the "reform". His official appointment coincided with the peak of Wang Anshi's first promotion of the new deal. He was soon entrusted with an important task. He was sent to sign a letter to the judge of Fengguo army, and then he was sentenced to be the Prime Minister of Guozijian. Ye Zuqia has indeed contributed to the implementation of the new deal. He collected public opinions of the government and the public for the new deal, discovered, trained and recommended new people of the "reform", which won the trust of Wang Anshi and other "reform" factions.

In the spring of 1076, some conservative ministers took advantage of the natural phenomenon of comet in the sky to attack the new law. Shenzong of Song Dynasty wavered in the implementation of the new law. Seeing that Wang Anshi could not continue to carry out his ideas, he had to resign as prime minister. Some ministers advocating the new deal, such as LV Huiqing, also resigned one after another. Ye Zuqia was also attacked by conservatives. In the tenth year of Xining, he took the post of governor Cheng as the county magistrate of Huzhou, and then remained as a scholar.

From the end of Yuanfeng to the beginning of Yuanyou (1085-1086), ye Zuqia was promoted to wailang, a member of the Department of military affairs, and joined the Jixian school to become a doctor in the Ministry of rites.

During the reign of Yuanyou (1086-1094), song zhezong was a young man, and then the Empress Dowager xuanren was in charge. After that, he used Sima Guang, Lu Gong and other conservative ministers to abolish the new law. Ye Zuqia insisted on his political views, repeatedly wrote letters to show his political position, and maintained the reform. He was impeached by the conservative officials. In the interview, Zhao Junxi seized ye zucha to participate in the imperial examination in the imperial examination hall. In the question and answer volume, there is a saying that "the laws of the ancestral record are simple, and the imperial court and the minister are willing to conspire to make a new one." it is said that he slandered the imperial court and wanted to punish ye zucha. Zhe Zong referred the matter to the ministers for deliberation. At that time, Su Shi and Liu Yi, the examiners, presided over justice and thought that Zhao Junxi: "it can be said that the argument is absurd, but it can't be said that it's not.". However, Zuo Zhengyan and Yao Meng proposed impeachment on the grounds that ye Zuqia assisted Wang Anshi in formulating and implementing the new law and that the government fought for profits with the people, which was obviously "despicable and without any evidence". As a result, ye Zuqia was relegated to Guangxi prison, and soon changed to Jiangsu Haizhou county magistrate.

In the first year of Shaosheng (1094), zhezong of Song Dynasty was in charge of the new policy and put Zhang Dun, an innovator, in high position. Ye Zuqia was also recalled, and successively held important posts in Zhongshu Sheren and geishi.

In the fourth year of Shaosheng (1097), Tingyi pursued and demoted Yuanyou party members. This is a very sensitive political topic. Especially the qualitative analysis of Wang Yu and Cai que. Ye Zuqia pointed out that Wang Li and Cai que, who had been dealt with in Yuanfeng period, should be treated differently. In his opinion, Wang Xun was a "three edicts" official who "took the imperial edict, received the imperial edict, and obtained the imperial edict" without his own opinions. Cai que was the core figure in maintaining the new law. Changping and exempting from service were all from his own hands. When Wu Chong and Wang Xun wanted to abolish the new law one after another, they all kept it under his insistence. Zhezong believed that Wang Xun had made contributions to the establishment of zhezong, while Huang Lu, Lai zhishao, Zhang Shangying and Liu Zheng all played Cai's role. Ye Zuqia went up to Shuzhe Zong and said, "when the emperor disobeyed Yu, his officials were suitable for the court, and he personally heard of the scholars' comments on the crime of native place. Fu Qite had a division under him, and he was responsible for his crime. " As a last resort, zhe Zong had no choice but to "pursue and seize the house he left, detain the income officer, pursue and demote the Wan'an army officer to join the army." (xuzhizitongjian · song Ji 85) however, zhezong also despised Zuqia. Lin Xili, who knew the Privy Council Affairs, recommended Zuqia to be "the most upright" and could shoulder heavy responsibilities, while zhe Zong thought that "it should not be used to a great extent".

In the second year of Yuanfu (1099), Zou Hao was demoted to take charge of Xinzhou, Anhui Province because he played the role of zhezong, saying that he should not abandon Mencius and set up concubine Liu. When Wang went back to see Zou Hao off, he was also demoted. Because ye Zuqia had recommended Wang Hui, zhe Zong demoted ye Zuqia to Jizhou and then moved to Hongzhou, Jiangxi.

In the third year of Yuanfu (1100), Huizong adopted the reformist Zengbu and the conservative Han Zhongyan. Ye Zuqia has a deep personal relationship with Zengbu, and Zengbu recommends ye Zuqia to Beijing. About ye Zuqia's appointment, Zeng Bu had a struggle with Han Zhongyan. According to xuzhizi Tongjian, ye Zuqia of zhihongzhou was regarded as Baowen Pavilion, and LV Xichun knew Yingzhou on behalf of him. Emperor Heshuo, all the marshals of yuan you people, want to make it as easy as possible, so hope pure, Zuqia have a destiny, have been issued for please also. At the beginning of cloth's plan, he called Zuqia to be his servant, and the emperor made it. Han Zhongyan thought it was impossible, and that was the end. " After Zeng Bu repeatedly requested, Huizong agreed that ye Zuqia should be the Minister of the Ministry of officials. After ye Zuqia became the Minister of the Ministry of officials, he still couldn't forget Wang's story. He wrote to Huizong again, saying, "Wang's crime is more violent than Liu Zhi's, and the punishment is not so severe today. How can we comfort the public opinion of the world?" As a result, the imperial edict said: "all the scholars will stop at the same time, and will never accept the narrative." During his tenure, ye Zuqia made great efforts to select suitable talents and supported Zeng Bu's reform.

In the first year of Chongning (1102), Zeng Bu was demoted to Runzhou Prefecture of Jiangsu Province after he was dismissed. As a result, a large number of officials of the reform school were dismissed. Ye Zuqia was demoted as the magistrate of Dingzhou, Hebei Province. Before he left Beijing, ye Zuqia once again stated his views to Huizong, believing that he wanted to demote Wang Yao and ask for Cai Que's orders for the sake of the country. But Huizong didn't think so. He denounced ye Zuqia for being "arrogant and impetuous" and reduced him to Jixian hall to write and promote Chongyou temple. Ye Zuqia was included in Yuanyou's party membership, and the imperial court did not reuse him. At the beginning of Zhenghe, ye Zuqia was appointed as the magistrate of Hongzhou, and then changed to the magistrate of Bozhou, Anhui Province, with the bachelor's degree of Jiahui Youge.

In 1117, ye Zuqia died in Bozhou government office.

After his death, ye Zuqia was buried in Yanmen, Xuanyi Township, Jiankang prefecture (now Nanjing). Ye Zuqia, a staunch and indomitable supporter of political reform all his life, was praised by Jiuzhi as a "stern man".
