Jinshi Ji

Lu Dafang, a Jinshi, was transferred to Fengyi and Yongshou county magistrate. There is no well in Yongshou county. People have to go to the valley far away to draw water. Da Fang patrols nearby and gets two springs. He plans to dredge them into Yongshou county. Because of the uneven terrain, people suspect that there is no reason for success. In less than ten days, Lu Dafang used the method of setting springs in the water and land in kaogong to make it level. As expected, the channel was dredged, and the people relied on it. He was known as "Lv Gongquan". Lu Dafang moved to work in zuolang and zhiqingcheng county. In the past, the corn in the sacrificial field was collected by the big bucket and then released by the big bucket, and the profit was tripled. Although the people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to appeal. At the beginning, Lu Dafang decided to release the money to average the value. The matter was passed on to song Renzong, who issued an imperial edict to ban it. He ordered all the way to lose it, rent it to the government, and give it back with a general tool. Qingcheng County controls Wenchuan and connects with Xixia. Lu Da Fang set up patrols and secret defenses in the important areas. It was forbidden to cut firewood and pick firewood in the mountains, and strictly blocked by obstacles. Han Jiang guarded Shuzhou and said that LV Dafang had the ability to assist the emperor to start a business and run a country. He was a temporary judge of salt and iron.

Many times

In 1063, song Renzong died, song Yingzong was the emperor, and LV Dafang was appointed doctor Taichang. When the imperial censor was vacant, the inner court showed the names of Da Fang and fan Chunren and appointed him to supervise the imperial censor Li Xing. Lu Dafang first said: "there are five things that are not suitable for the world's hope: to employ ministers, but the power does not belong to the emperor; ministers are tired and old, but they can not retire on time; foreign countries are arrogant, but they do not choose generals; ministers who put forward suggestions are beneficial to the failure of the imperial government, but the ruling ministers suppress them; ministers around the battlefield are rewarded for their failures, but they are punished for recommending officials." He also said: "Fu Bi had a foot problem and asked to be relieved of his important administrative position, but he was not accepted after more than a dozen memorials; Zhang was nearly 80 years old and his wisdom was exhausted, but he asked to retire, but he didn't agree; Wu Kui had three years of mourning, and called him back to the court with his son, and sent envoys to call him again; Cheng Kan couldn't resign because of his old age, and worried that he would die in the frontier fortress, so he asked to be recalled and didn't agree. Your majesty wants to do his duty as a monarch and minister, so that the sick can rest, the mourners can die, and the elderly can do their best for many years. Then why is it too pretentious to make the four of them sincere? " In the same year, there was a flood in the capital. Lu Dafang said, "as for entering the Palace houses and killing people, it's a disaster caused by the disharmony between yin and Yang." Eight things are stated immediately, which are called: the emperor's majesty is not established, the minister's power is too powerful, the evil advice offends justice, the private favor hinders justice, the Liao and Xia's joint plan, the bandits run rampant, the group's dereliction of duty, and the penalty is unfair. When the minister in power discussed the title of King Pu, Lu Dafang said: "the former Emperor appointed his majesty as the prince and lived in the palace. According to his orders, what he had said but didn't finish was in his ears. The emperor knew what he had entrusted. If the former emperor does not die and his majesty is still the prince, there is no doubt about Anyi's title of Bo. Can you betray me as a son after death? Perhaps at the beginning of the emperor's position, the emperor should have the greatest justice to subdue the world and make friends with people. Now the minister wants to add an unorthodox title to the king, so that his majesty will care for his private kindness and go against justice. This is not the way to make friends with the people of the world. " The memorials were presented dozens of times to Xiuning County.

Ups and downs of official life

After emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, Lu Dafang was appointed as the judge of Zizhou. In the first year of Xining (1068), he knew Sizhou and served as the vice envoy of Hebei Province. Call for zhisheren courtyard. Han Jiang, a Xuanfu envoy in Shaanxi Province, ordered him to be a magistrate, and he was also a Xuanfu magistrate in Hedong. He was appointed zhizhigao. In 1071, he knew Yanzhou. Lu Dafang began to plan to build a city in huangduizhai outside the Yellow River. People thought that it was impossible to defend, so he left his troops to build fortresses and barriers, and beheaded them. During the war in Huanqing, Han Jiang was demoted, LV Dafang was also dismissed, and he knew the identity of doctor Taichang as Linjiang army. A few months later, he moved to Huazhou. Huayue collapsed and mud and stones poured into the Weihe River from the foot of the mountain, killing many people. Lu Dafang made a statement in sections, citing the classics as historical facts to test the events at that time. He roughly said: "fear the majesty of heaven and protect it at the right time." This is the reason why the former king prospered. "I was not born in heaven." this is the reason why the later King perished. The book says, "only by correcting the king can we correct this matter." I hope that we can inherit the power of heaven, bend down to consider the changes of current affairs, and give our country the utmost consideration. " He was appointed to be the governor of LongTuge and the governor of Qinzhou. In 1078, Lu Dafang was transferred to Yongxing army. Because of the appearance of comet, Shenzong of Song Dynasty asked for words, and Dafang stated three opinions and nine suggestions: to cure the root cause, to slow down the end, and to accept words. To cultivate the people, to be a priest and to pay attention to the valley is the best way to cure the root cause; to govern the frontier and the army is the best way to slow down the end; to open up the way to be spoken widely, to lenient the punishment of invading officials, to forgive the crime of defamation, and to tolerate different and the same opinions are the best ways to accept words. Thousands of words. At that time, there were a lot of troops deployed in the Xixia, and there were inconvenient defenses. They often reported to the imperial court, and the task was to be lenient to the people. When the military affairs were relieved, the people of Huazhou were richer than those of other places, and there was no shortage of military supplies. I'm a bachelor. He has lived in Chengdu for more than 20 years. Song zhezong, the emperor, called Dafang as the Hanlin scholar and Quan Kaifeng mansion. Some monks cheated the people to get money, so they sued the court. After verifying the truth, he ordered the detention department to set up a prison case, and then the monks' houses were hanged, and other people with the heart of hiding and adultery fled.

Good at diplomacy

Lu Dafang accompanied Khitan envoys. The Khitan emissary was cunning and talked a lot about the imperial court. Da Fang secretly exposed his secret affairs and questioned the Khitan emissary, saying: "I don't know what book this title came from?" The emissary was so surprised that he could not answer. From then on, he did not dare to speak arrogant words again. Lu Dafang moved to be the Minister of the Ministry of officials. When the Western Xia emissary came, he issued an imperial edict to inquire about the treatment, and said, "although the frontier lands he had acquired in the past were built castles, he finally thought that it would be hard to protect them. Abandoning it weakens the country, and keeping it has regrets. What should we do? " Lu Dafang said: "Xixia could not do anything, but the reason why they sent messengers many times and did not announce their sincerity was probably that they expected that we were eager to negotiate peace. Now that the emissary arrives at the court, he should order the accompanying officials to detain him from congratulating him on his accession to the throne, which is enough to infer the truth of the matter. Most of the people who have just recovered the territory say that they can give up. This kind of consideration is not mature. As for the method of defense, the choice of generals is the first. Taizu appointed Yao neibin and Dong zunjiao to defend Huan and Qingzhou. Xixia people did not dare to invade. In the past, it was more than enough to defend the enemy with the strength of the two prefectures, but now it is less than enough to worship the border areas with the vast number of Kyushu. From this point of view, it's about getting people. " In the first year of Yuanyou's reign (1086), he was awarded the title of Youcheng, the Minister of Shangshu, the Minister of Zhongshu, and the Duke of Jijun. When the war stopped in the west, the Qing, Tang and Qiang believed that China was cowardly and sent General GUI Zhang Qing Yi Jie to invade the border. Dafang ordered Taozhou generals to seize the opportunity to fight and capture GUI Zhang Qingyi knot alive.

Officials in charge, officials in charge and officials in charge

In 1088, Duke Lu became an official when he was old. Empress xuanren wanted to keep him in Kaifeng. As for the four or five personal letters and secret visits, LV Dafang was promoted to be the minister Zuo pushe and his servant, and he was promoted to write Shenzong Shilu. Seeing that song zhezong was getting older, Lu Dafang made it his urgent task to enter school every day. He asked the official to take the explanation from the Royal book of song Renzong's Youying hall and put it on the right side of song zhezong's seat. He also excerpts forty-one things that can be used as admonition since Qianxing, which are divided into two parts. The title is "renzu Shengxue", which makes song zhezong have the idea of admiration and dissatisfaction. The emperor zhezong of the Song Dynasty called in the ruling ministers and officials to read Baoxun, and read that "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expropriated Nanshan for the title
