Introduction to classical Chinese

Xu Ji was born in Nanling, Xuanzhou. He was elected a Jinshi, a Wujiang Wei and a Guizhou professor. Wang Shi asked for Jiaozhi and transferred the envoy to join the army. There are many people who are in charge of the service. They have captured more than a thousand people. The emissary sent a staff to Ji Zhang, who said, "it's a solid crime, but all of them are hungry and sick. If they are not enough to win the staff, they can still have it." The emissary is angry, and wants to impeach the performance. The performance will not change, but the emissary cannot seize it. Guo Kui couldn't stay for a long time. His achievement was that Zhao Xun, the Deputy envoy, said: "when the division came out of the flood, but the commander didn't want to beg for thieves, why did he succeed?" Because of being a barbarian and neglecting the court, it is said that the judge is the master's weapon. Today, all the generals are not going to enter, but only from the top. Both Kui and Hongguo were demoted for their reactive power.

When Shu Yu heard of his name, he would recommend him as a censor and perform evil deeds. He did not reply. After learning Jianping County, he became a professor of zhuwanggong. He was a general judge of Tongzhou. There was a dike near the sea, which was abandoned but not cured. He suffered from drowning in years old. The people depend on the benefits of the dike. Professor Fu Guangling and shenwangyuan joined the army instead of zhuwangfu. When zhe Zong saw his article, he gave it an award. He wanted to wait until he was old enough to think that history would be controlled.

Huizongli was promoted to Baowen Pavilion, where he served as a system and a sermon. He moved to the middle of the country to write a history of Shenzong. When Shaosheng party and still in the dynasty, people have different ideas, to Ju new deal. The emperor said, "when I listen to my officials, I flatter them if they are not deceitful. But if you are honest, I rely on them." Because of the difficulty in choosing the right phase, Yun has called fan Chunren and Han Zhongyan. Ji immediately congratulated and said, "I've got people!" Zhao and Cai Jing studied the Five Dynasties' Baoxun together. Ji refused to work with Jinglian, but refused to do so. Lu Qi was cited as a metaphor for the evil of playing Beijing. He moved to Shizhong and Hanlin. Shangshu and Chen's six things: Shi Yao, Ren Xian, Qiu Jian, Xuan Xuan, breaking the clique, and Ming Gong sin.

The history of the state has not been completed for a long time, and the achievement says: "the official history of Shenzong is more than five leap now, and it has not been completed. Gai Youyuan Hu and Shaosheng Shichen had different likes and dislikes. Fan Zuyu and other special masters Sima Guang kept records in their home. Cai Jing brothers used Wang Anshi's "RI Lu" for their own account, so there were many arguments. At that time, the assistant prime minister's family and the family's collection of records were not available. The minister said that it was appropriate to use them as much as possible, to discuss right and wrong, and to make a grand ceremony. " However, the emperor ordered the official historian to do his best not to be untrue.

At the beginning of the emperor's administration, he was keen to damage the reform law and harm the people. The emperor couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Ji, Ji said: "is it not the desire to keep the holy meaning? Right and wrong have not yet been decided, and political affairs have not yet been unified. If we do not examine the facts, we can see that both Gu and Wu exist, and that there is no need for our ministers. " Because of the abandonment of Huangzhou, please "from now on, don't rashly promote border affairs. If there is no border affairs, it will be the blessing of the imperial court. If there is border affairs, it will be the benefit of the subordinates.". Since ancient times, it has been the same thing to neglect and regret. "

Ji and he Zhizhong worked together in the emperor's residence. Cai Jing used to be a palace official. He worked for two people every time and made a lot of achievements. The emperor said, "if you want to go to the imperial court, why do you want to seize it?" he was worried. When Beijing came to assist, he was also in charge of the central government. He wrote Zhang Dun's Ci to slander the martyrs. He took charge of Lingxian temple and became a member of the party. If you know Jiangning government, you will not be able to carry out the policy of learning and return.

Three years later, I knew Taiping Prefecture. The emperor said, "it's not enough to use the tea and salt." He said: "there is a way to make money, there is a way to manage money, and there is a way to use money. Today, the state is not fully utilized. In the Ming imperial edict of your majesty, there is a department, which is responsible for pushing and practicing. " The emperor said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Today I hear the praises." Jialongtuge, a direct bachelor, stayed in Nanjing.

Cai Jing called back from Qiantang and said: "Yuangong's encounter is on the right of Botong. Botong's experience is mutual."

Ji said with a smile: "each of us has his own ambition. How can I change it with profit and salary?" I'm ashamed that I can't be right, and my achievements will never be repeated. In order to get rid of the disease, he became an official. He was seventy-nine years old. Present zizhengdian bachelor, Zhengfeng doctor. His achievements were very upright, and the emperor paid more attention to the proprieties than to the great use of them. (excerpt from the biography of Xu Ji in the history of Song Dynasty)

Introduction to vernacular

Xu Ji was born in Nanling, Xuanzhou. He was elected as a Jinshi and selected as a professor in Guizhou. The imperial court sent troops to attack Jiaozhi and the transport envoys sent official documents. Xu Ji was ordered to join the army. Because of the miasma on the way to transport food and pay, most of the people who should serve escaped and arrested more than 1000 people. The envoys asked Xu Ji to blame them. Xu Ji said, "they are really guilty, but they are all hungry, weak and sick. They can't bear the blame. Let's blacken their arms to warn them That's all right The emissary was very angry and wanted to impeach Xu Ji at the same time. Xu Ji argued and did not change at all, and the emissary could not change him. When Shu Yu heard that he was famous, he wanted to recommend him as a censor. Xu Ji hated Shu Yu, so he refused. When he served as the general judge of Tongzhou, there was a dike near the sea, which had been abandoned for a long time, and the people suffered from the flood of sea water every year. Xu Ji personally urged the soldiers to build the dike. After the dike was built, the people relied on it for profits. Huizong ascended the throne, and Xu Ji was promoted to zhongshusheren, revising the history of Shenzong. At that time, Shaosheng's party members were still in the court, and people had different ideas to prevent the implementation of the new deal. The emperor said to Xu Ji, "every time I listen to the minister's questions, I either cheat or flatter, but Xu Ji's honesty is what I rely on." Xu Ji refused to cooperate with Cai Jing, so he refused. Later, he was promoted to Hanlin bachelor, and the history of the country had not been finished for a long time. Xu Ji said: "the official history of Shenzong has been revised five times, and it has not been finished yet. Probably because Yuanhu and Shaosheng historians had different likes and dislikes, fan Zuyu and others were specially responsible for some of the records collected by Sima Guang. The Cai Jing brothers used Wang Anshi's rilu to express their opinions. At that time, each of the prime minister's houses had records. How can we say that they didn't? I think we should use all of them and refer to the right and wrong parts of the revision in order to complete the national history. " The emperor thought that he was right, and ordered Xu Ji to draw up an imperial edict to warn the historiographers that they should do their best to collect the historical facts. Xu Ji and he Zhizhong serve the emperor in the palace together. Cai Jing, as an old bureaucrat, often flatters them against his will. Xu Ji doesn't lower his moral integrity slightly. (Xu Ji) asked to go home to visit his relatives. Some people said that there was no rule for the academicians to go out. The emperor said, "Xu Ji asked to go back, not to leave the imperial court. How could he easily change this rule?" In the third year of Daguan, Xu Ji served as governor of Taiping Prefecture. The emperor called him to the meeting, and he tried to state the pain brought by the tea and salt method. The emperor said, "it's because of the lack of money."

Xu Ji replied, "you need to have a good way to get money. You need to give handouts when you manage money. You need to spend money properly. Now that the state is short of money, your majesty can call relevant officials all over the country to promote it and promote it personally." The emperor said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Today I heard good advice." Cai Jing was called back from Qiantang. He moved him with obscure words and said, "your credit is above that of Bertone. Bertone is already the prime minister." (Bertone, he Zhizhong.)

Xu Ji said with a smile, "everyone has his own ambition. How can I change because of my wealth?" Cai Jing was ashamed and speechless, and Xu Ji was not reused in the end. He died of illness at the age of 79. Xu Ji was honest and upright. He was especially respected by the emperor, but he didn't get much attention.

Social evaluation

Xu Ji has always been concerned about the sufferings of the people. When he was the general judge of Tongzhou, he personally supervised the construction of seawalls to avoid flooding. When he was the governor of Taiping Prefecture, he tried his best to state the pain brought by the current tea and salt law to the people, and suggested that the emperor order the relevant officials of the whole country to make, manage and use money reasonably. When the imperial court sent troops to attack Jiaozhi, Xu Ji was ordered to join the army. Due to the miasma and bumpy conditions on the way to transport food and pay, most of the servicemen fled. Xu Ji sympathized with them and argued for the sake of saving more than 1000 people from the blame. In view of the fact that shenzongzhengshi has not been compiled for a long time, Xu Xun thinks that the reason lies in the different likes and dislikes of historiographers, the biased materials and the different opinions. Therefore, we should widely collect data and distinguish right from wrong in order to build a national history in line with historical facts. His views and ideas were affirmed by the emperor.
