Idioms and allusions

In the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Lu Chengqing who was honest, conscientious and practical. He worked as an examiner. This is an official post under the Ministry of official affairs, which is mainly responsible for investigating officials. At that time, there was a standard for the ranking of officials. First, they were roughly divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and then each level was further divided into upper, middle and lower levels. For example, the best was upper, the worst was upper, middle, middle, lower and so on. once, Lu Chengqing assessed an official who supervised the transportation of grain. In the process of transporting grain, the man capsized and dropped a lot of grain into the river. Therefore, Lu Chengqing only gave him a middle and lower position, "I didn't give you a lower position, just to take care of your face.". You have overturned the boat and lost so much food in the country, so I can only give you such an evaluation. "However, the grain delivery officer was not angry and worried at all when he got the comments from the middle and lower levels. Instead, he talked and laughed as if he should. Lu Chengqing thinks that he is not angry when I give him such a low evaluation, which shows that he has realized his mistake, and this person is OK; from this point of view, this person has the performance of admitting his mistake and has a sense of responsibility, so change it. After the change, the grain transportation officer was not happy. Lu Chengqing thought that this person is really unique, "flatter or disgrace", no matter what, he can face it calmly. He also found out that the boat capsized, not because of his poor management, but because of a sudden strong wind, the grain boat was blown over. In short, it's not man-made. Lu Chengqing thought: it seems that it's not appropriate for me to give him Zhongzhong, so I changed it to Zhongshang. The grain officer was not particularly happy about it. Since then, Lu Chengqing had a good impression on him. Later, when he was assessed by the Ministry of officials, he paid attention to promoting him. It is said that Lu Chengqing himself is also a person who is neither flattered nor disgraced. He thinks that as an official, he is mainly loyal to his country and doesn't care whether he is promoted or demoted. At first, he worked as an examiner wailang, then as a minister Zuo Cheng, and finally as a minister of the Ministry of war. Because he always told the truth, he offended the emperor and was demoted to be a Sima in Jianzhou. When Jianzhou Sima, Lu Chengqing didn't feel the fire at all. Later, the court transferred him back to the court as Minister of the Ministry of punishment, so Lu Chengqing was not particularly happy. When he was critically ill in his later years, Lu Chengqing's sons and daughters called him to the bed and said, "after I die, my funeral must be simple. The clothes I wear are my clothes. Don't buy me any more clothes. Don't set any coffin outside the coffin, and don't cover several coffins. Just bury them in one coffin. The grave should not be too high, as long as it can be seen. Don't Scribble on the inscriptions. Boast about my achievements in this life. Just write down my resume and when I died. "This is Lu Chengqing's last words. It can be seen that Lu Chengqing is not only incorruptible, but also a man who takes vanity very lightly. The idiom "favor or disgrace without fear" means that no matter whether you favor or disgrace, you don't care about it. It is used to describe not being moved by personal gain or loss.
