Life of the characters

In 938, Zhang quhua was born in Gongzhou, Kaifeng prefecture (now suixian County, Henan Province). Zhang quhua was diligent and eager to learn when he was young, and he was very agile in writing and writing. Because of his father's official shade, he helped zhailang in Taimiao temple. After Zhou Shizong's southern expedition to Huainan, Zhang quhua, at the age of 18, sighed with emotion that "if the war does not stop and the affairs of the common people are not governed, this is not the way to keep ruling the country for a long time." Therefore, he wrote "the southern expedition Fu" and "the theory of governing the people" and presented them to Zhou Shizong. When he was called to take the examination, he was granted the post of chief bookkeeper of the imperial censor's platform, which was subordinate to the three chambers of the court and was not allowed to be listed in the court. He said to his close friends, "the post of bookkeeper is not my job." So he abandoned his official position and went to Zhengzhou for three years. As soon as the Song Dynasty was established, Zhang quhua traveled to the capital with poetry and prose. His behavior and articles were well known by Li Fang. The next year, he passed the entrance examination and was awarded the post of secretary Lang and Zhi Shi Guan. One year later, because he had not been promoted, Zhang quhua went up to Zhang and told him that Zhang Dan and Lu duoxun, the imperial censor in the palace, were superficial in literature, but they were in a high position, hoping to compare with them. Song Taizu immediately ordered Zhang Dan and others to plan the test with Zhang quhua linxuan, and asked Tao Gu and others to take the test. Zhang Dan was demoted because he didn't answer the question. Taizu of Song Dynasty promoted Zhang quhua as the right buque, and gave him the clothes of attack, silver belt and saddle. Officials of the imperial court belittled Zhang quhua's impetuous promotion, so Zhang quhua was not promoted for 16 years. Zhang quhua used to deal with it in the biandian hall. He was asked about his family background by Taizu of Song Dynasty. Zhang quhua then told his father that he had been demoted because he had offended the dignitaries. Prime Minister Xue Juzheng also told for Zhang quhua. Song Taizu was moved by this, and said: "the Han Dynasty is not benevolent, and the treacherous officials are dictatorial. This is what I personally saw." After Jinghu was pacified, he ordered Daozhou to pass judgment. Zhang quhua said: "Guiguan is the main traffic road of Wuling. Now, in order to preserve his territory, Liu Xiangchang relies on Guiguan as a defense barrier. If the army first takes his city and goes to Panyu, it's like entering a place without people." Taizong issued an imperial edict to reward Guizhou for its ability to capture. When he returned to Beijing, he was appointed magistrate of Cizhou and Qianzhou. He was elected as the general judge of Yizhou, and was promoted to the office of zhifengxiang. Zhang quhua went to Taiyuan with Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty and supervised zuozangku of the army, so he was appointed as the transit envoy of yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) in Nanjing. He has successively served as Zuo Si Yuan wailang and Li Bu Lang. in 982, he served as the transport envoy of Jiangnan Road. During the Yongxi period (984-987), the song army attacked Youzhou, and Zhang quhua supervised the transportation of grain and grass from yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) in Nanjing to Jumahe, so he ordered him to be the transport envoy of Hebei Province. In the third year of Yongxi's reign (986), he was appointed governor of Shanzhou, but he didn't come to office. He wrote 30 pieces of "records of major political figures" and presented them to the imperial court. After reading them, Taizong of Song Dynasty praised them and issued an imperial edict to reward them with 50 colored silk. Therefore, he was not sent to Beijing. He happened to meet King Xu as Kaifeng Yin, Zhang quhua was appointed as Kaifeng magistrate, and Chen Zai, the Royal censor in the palace, was appointed as Tui Guan, all of whom were given JINZI clothes. Song Taizong said, "you are all upright ministers of the imperial court. You are specially selected and appointed to help my son." One year later, he was granted the post of Zuo Jianyi's doctor, and ordered the secret envoy Wang Xian to issue a decree to show his intention to assist. Soon after, Daoan, a nun in Luzhou, sued her brother-in-law for dishonesty. Kaifeng government refused to punish her, so she was sent back to Luzhou with shackles. His sister-in-law is Liu Xuan's wife's nephew. Dao'an beat Deng Wengu, saying that Liu Xuan asked for help by letter, and Zhang quhua deliberately did not punish him. Taizong of the Song Dynasty was furious, and Zhang quhua was demoted to be Sima of Anzhou. At the end of this year, he was called to serve as Shaojian and zhixingyuan Prefecture. But he didn't take up the post. He was transferred to Jinzhou Zhizhou and promoted to Secretary Shaojian and zhixuzhou (now Xuchang, Henan). In the third year of Zhidao (997), Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and Zhang quhua was re granted the post of Zuo Jianyi. Soon, he was promoted to Shizhong and Zhizhou. Since the collection of Ding Fu by Qian family in liangzhelu, some dead people have not been exempted. Zhang quhua proposed to ask for the exemption of taxes on the dead, but Yousi insisted on not approving it on the ground of financial dependence. In the second year of Xianping (999), he moved to Suzhou. Soon, due to illness, he asked for a division of Xijing. He mended the garden in Luoyang and made a "seclusion Pavilion" to show his will. in the first year of Jingde (1004), he was changed to minister of the Ministry of industry. in 1006, he died of illness at the age of 69.
