Idiom story

During Shenzong period in Northern Song Dynasty, Fu yaoyu was transferred to Beijing. At that time, Wang Anshi was carrying out the new law. He thought that Fu yaoyu could help him, but Fu yaoyu said: "it is not appropriate for the world to carry out the new law. If I work in the remonstrance court, I will try my best to state my opinion. " After hearing this, Wang Anshi was very angry. He transferred him to Hebei transport envoy, Jiangning magistrate, and later moved to Xuzhou, Heyang and other places. During the past two years, Fu yaoyu had been on the way to transfer, and later he was demoted to manage the warehouse in the forage yard of Liyang county. The officer of the county came to Liyang for inspection, and Fu yaoyu also joined the welcoming procession. Taking into account that he had been a censor, the prefect asked other officials to deal with the affairs of the grassland on his behalf. Fu yaoyu said, "what kind of official position you hold, what kind of responsibility you have to fulfill. How can you neglect your responsibilities?" He went to the warehouse every day to deal with official business, and for ten years he never stopped in spite of the heat and cold. After song zhezong ascended the throne, Fu yaoyu was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of officials and the censor Zhongcheng. Fu Yao and Yu were thick and speechless. They didn't set up a city government. When they talked about the important affairs of the imperial court, they always knew everything in front of the emperor. He once wrote a memorial saying: "everyone has his own strong points. If I recommend integrity and deal with treacherous and sycophantic people, how dare I not do my best despite my lack of talent and learning? It's not my ambition to pry into other people's privacy and find fault. " At the beginning, he was transferred from an admonitor to a local official. Everyone thought that he had an opinion on the new law and would not implement it. However, Fu yaoyu complied with the court's decrees. When asked why he did it, he said, "a gentleman should act according to his position. The admonishment officer has the responsibility to give advice to the imperial court, and the prefect should deal with the affairs according to the laws and policies of the imperial court. "
