The story of Xiaoyan Mountain and the story of Yuting are selected from Lu Chunqiu, and the word is selected from Zhang Ping's Biography of Songshi.

Original: From Xishan Road to the north, crossing Huangmaoling, there are two roads: one is to the west, and nothing is found; One is less in the north and east, but 40 feet, the soil is broken and Sichuan is divided, and there are accumulated stones across its vastness. Above is the shape of arrogance and beam; Next to the castle pier, if there is a door, you can see that it is black. Throw pebbles and there is water in the hole. Its voice is very strong, it has been ringing for a long time, and it can go to the ring and see far away. It is also a wise man's decision to produce beautiful arrows without soil, which are strange and firm, sparse and restrained.

Hey! I have doubted the existence of the creator for a long time, and the more I think it is sincere. It's strange that it's not Zhongzhou, but Yidi, who won't sell it for a thousand years. It's no use trying, and it's not suitable for immortals. What is the result? Or: comfort your husband and feel ashamed of this person. In other words, the spirit of Qi is not a great man, but a unique thing, so there are fewer people and more stones in southern Chu. Both. I don't believe it.

Go north from the intersection of Xishan, cross Huangmaoling Mountain and go down. There are two ways: one is to go west, but there is nothing to find in the past; The other turns to the east, slightly to the north. After only forty feet, the road was cut off by a river, and there was a stone mountain at the end of the road. The top of the rocky mountain is naturally in the shape of a female wall and a female beam, with a fortress and a hole like a door protruding next to it. Visiting from the cave, it was dark, and a small stone was thrown in. The sound of water was loud and it had not been seen for a long time. Rocky Mountain can climb around to the top of the mountain and stand on it and overlook it. There is no soil on the mountain, but there are good trees and bamboo, which are more peculiar in shape and hard in texture. Bamboo and wood are densely covered, either lying or standing, as if it were deliberately arranged by people.

Alas! I have doubted the existence of the creator for a long time, and I think the creator does exist here. But strangely, he did not put this small Shicheng Mountain in the densely populated Central Plains, but in this remote and remote barbarian land. Even after thousands of years, he didn't have a chance to show his strange scenery. In vain, useless. The creator of the gods doesn't seem to do this. So the creator really didn't? Some people say, "The creator arranged this to comfort the sages who were exiled here with this beautiful scenery." Some people also said: "The atmosphere of mountains and rivers in Zhong Ling here does not breed great people, but condenses into this wonderful mountain scenery, so there is a shortage of talents in southern Chu and there are many strange peaks and rocks." I don't believe either of these statements.

Xiyu pavilion

The pavilion is named after the rain, and it is also happy. If the ancients were happy, they would use famous things to show that they would not forget. Duke of Zhou got the grain with the title of the book; Hanwu is famous for years; Granduncle, named after his son. His joy varies in size, which shows that he has not forgotten one.

Give it to the next year and then rule the official residence. In order to stand in the north of the hall, the pond was dug in the south, and the trees were drained, which was a place to rest. It is the spring of another year, and the rain wheat has occupied the year in the sunshine of Qishan. People are worried when it doesn't rain in the middle of the moon. In March, it was raining second base, and it was raining second base. People think this is not enough. Ding Mao's heavy rain stopped in three days. Officials celebrate in the court, businessmen sing in the city, farmers linger in the wild, those who are worried are happy, those who are sick are treated, and my pavilion is suitable.

So he lifted the wine to the pavilion and told him that it belonged to a guest, saying, "What if it doesn't rain for five days?" You said,' If it doesn't rain for five days, there will be no wheat.' Ten days without rain? He said,' If it doesn't rain for ten days, there will be no food. There is no wheat and no food. When you are old, you are recommended to go hungry. Prison litigation is booming and thieves are rampant. So my second son and my third son, although we also want to travel and enjoy this pavilion, have we got it? Today, we don't leave the people behind, but give them rain at the beginning of the drought, so that my second son and my third son can live in harmony and enjoy this pavilion. Can you forget? "

The pavilion is not only famous, but also sung, saying, "it makes the rain drop, which the cold can't think of;" It makes it rain like jade, and hungry people will never think it is millet. It has been raining for three days. Who can help? People say satrap. If there is no satrap, it is the son of heaven. The son of heaven said otherwise, it was the return of creation. If you don't think you have succeeded, you will return to space. Space is invisible and cannot be named. I am famous for my pavilion. "

Translation:

The pavilion is named after the rain to show happiness. In ancient times, whenever there was a festival, it was carved on something to show that it would never be forgotten. Duke of Zhou got food, so he took Jiahe as the title. After Liang Wudi got the Ding, he took Ding Yuan as the title. When Sun's uncle defeated Qiao Ru, he named his son Qiao Ru. Although the scale of the celebration is different, the original intention of not forgetting is the same.

It was not until the second year of Fufeng that the official residence was built. A pavilion was built in the north of the hall, and a pond was dug in the south to draw water and plant trees as a resting place. This spring, wheat fell in the air south of Qishan, which was considered as a sign of a bumper harvest after divination. Then it didn't rain for a whole month, and the people were very anxious. It rained in March and May, and nine days later it rained in Jiazi, and the people were not satisfied. It rained heavily that day and it didn't stop for three days. Officials congratulate each other in the official courtyard, businessmen sing to each other in the market, and farmers enjoy each other in the fields. Worried people are happy, sick people are fully recovered, and my pavilion is just this time.

So he gave a banquet on the pavilion, advised the guests to drink, and told them, "If it doesn't rain for five days, will it be good?" You will definitely say,' If it doesn't rain for five days, the wheat won't grow.' Ten days without rain? And they will definitely say,' If it doesn't rain for ten days, rice won't grow. Without wheat and rice, there will be famine in the second year, lawsuits will increase and thieves will join in. In this case, even if you and I want to visit this exhibition hall, can we do it? Fortunately, God didn't dislike people. Soon after the drought, it rained on the earth, so that you and I could enjoy each other in the pavilion. This is a gift from the rain! How could you forget? "

The name of the pavilion has been decided, and then the lyrics say: "if there are pearls on earth, people who suffer from cold can't be cotton-padded clothes;" If Baoyu were alive, the hungry people could not eat. It has rained for three days now. Whose strength is it? The people say it's the satrap, and the satrap doesn't have this power, or it's the son of heaven, and the son of heaven is wrong, thank the creator. The creator doesn't consider himself meritorious, but comes down to space. The space is too small to name the exhibition hall. I will name my own pavilion. "

< Beware of people >: Six: fame and fortune are great, and heaven is also good. For one reason, it is impossible to be careless. When Fushun met Yao, it was heaven. The farmer of Mount Li, the pottery by the river, the fishing of Razer, the saying of the world, followed by scholars and people. When the rain is favorable, the weather is also good. Yu Zhou is in the world. Those who seek the sage should benefit from it first, while the flow of water is clear, and people are also concerned with what they do. Fu Tang Yu Jie, Wu Yu Zhou, Tian Ye. Tang and Wu cultivate one's morality and accumulate good deeds for righteousness, worrying about the country and the people. Shun's farming and fishing are all virtues and are not worthy. When it is not satisfied, it only belongs to land and wealth, taking water conservancy, weaving reeds, making nets, having no limbs, and then being free from the cold. When it happened, it was also the son of heaven, and the saints returned to it, and all the people praised it. Husband and daughter are full of enthusiasm and put them on. Shun himself wrote a poem: "Under the world, is it the land of kings?" Is leading the land king? "So I can see everything. Everything is available, and sages don't add it; If there is nothing, it is not a loss. It's a matter of time. Eight miles west did not meet, the pawn captured the gold, the rice cow was in Qin, and it was spread to the skin of Wuyang. Gong Sunzhi got it, said it, and presented it to Miao Gong for three days. Please take it for granted. Miao Gongdao: "What's wrong with buying the skins of five sheep? Is there nothing but the world laughing? " Gong Sunzhi said to him, "If you trust virtuous people, you will have wisdom. ":Let the sages go down, and I will be loyal. The monarch is a wise monarch, and the minister is a loyal minister. He believes in the sage, and someone will serve him at home, but the enemy is afraid. Who can laugh at him? "Miao public.

Sixth, pay attention to personnel

When people succeed, it is the right time. For this reason, it's no good not caring about his personnel. Yu Shun met Tang Yao at the right time. Shun is farming in Lishan, burning pottery by the river and fishing. Everyone likes him, and excellent people follow him, which is the result of his best efforts. When Yu Xia met Yu Shun, it was the right time. Travel around the world, visit sages, do things that benefit the people, and do things that stop waterlogging depressions, mountains and lakes. This is what he did. Shang Tang met Xia Jie and Zhou Wuwang met Shang and Zhou, all at the right time. Shang Tang and King Wu exercised themselves to accumulate good deeds and care for the people, which was within their power. When Shun Gengtian fished, he acted like an emperor. Before he meets the weather, he and his men should cultivate, fish according to the water, weave reeds and cast nets, and live with their hands and feet to avoid the fear of hunger and cold. When he ascended the throne and became the son of heaven, all the sages in the world surrendered to him and praised him. Both men and women are very enthusiastic and excited, and no one doesn't like him. Shun himself wrote a poem: "there is not a piece of land under the sun that is not the territory of kings;" Everyone on the land by the sea is not a subject of the king. " So I learned that everything is available at this time. When he got everything, the degree of wisdom did not increase, and when he had nothing, the degree of wisdom did not decrease. When Prissy didn't meet the weather, Guo was destroyed by Jin and became a prisoner of Jin. He raised cattle in the state of Qin and was resold with five sheepskins. After GongSunZhi got him, he admired him very much and dedicated him to Qin Miaogong. Three days later, he asked Miao Hong to appoint Prissy as a doctor. Qin Miaogong said, "I'm afraid everyone will laugh at you if you buy a man with five sheepskins and appoint him as a doctor." Gong Sunzhi replied: "It is wise for a monarch to trust a talented person and appoint him." It is the loyalty of courtiers to introduce talented people and be willing to serve them. Believe in talents, China's subjects will listen, and hostile countries will be afraid. Who has time to make fun of them? "So Qin Miaogong appointed Priscilla.

Original: Zhang Ping, a native of Linqu, Qingzhou. According to the Secretariat of Luo Jinshan, this is the weak link of a country. Jinshan moved to Chuzhou and was on an equal footing with Ma Bu. Emperor Taizong Yin Jingzhao, home. The king of Qin led the United States to Guizhou, and he was a pro-official. A few years later, a lawsuit for money and goods took place in Nipingfu, and Emperor Taizong of Bai Qin cracked down. Qin didn't like it, so he sent it away. Emperor Taizong pitied his innocence, and took Xu Shuai Gao Jichong as his subordinate, followed by Chongbu as the town commander. Ping sighed: "Although my life is ruined, it may not be a blessing in the future."

Emperor Taizong acceded to the throne, called the right classroom straight, overseer Muqin, Longlong two cities, informed of the continuation of the system, capital service, water and land costs. Join the giant raft in the Spring and Autumn Period, cross the Weihe River and gather in Beijing. Between the ages, good materials piled up. Emperor Taizong praised his merits and moved to worship the official governor Yangping, working as a carpenter and a shipyard. The old official built a boat, and the river surged to prevent it from drifting away. Each ship is guarded by three families, and there are thousands of families in service. Pingsui crossed the pool to draw water, tied the boat in it, and did not re-transfer people. Some people pulled China out of the mouth, and they went back and forth between watching and recovering, suffering for many years. The imperial court ordered several state soldiers to beg, which was unacceptable. Ping sent someone to put in a good word and he came back. Change to worship the instrument, and still lead it. Save 800,000 yuan every nine years.

Do a good biography of history, meet different books when you are young, play all day, or take off your clothes. And expensive, thousands of books. On the day of Pengmen, several generations of county officials humiliated Ping, and later learned that his crime was related to the Beijing kiln. Ping Zi adapted to the service in Dong Qi, saw this, and lived in peace with the language. He summoned him to the first place to set up a reward, saying, "If you are unfortunate, you will suffer from it occasionally. Be careful not to worry before. " Pay and obey it. A few days later, when he was forgiven, he was called generous.

As the saying goes, Emperor Taizong lived in seclusion, so he had to be honest and brave. And acceded to the throne, the work of repairing the old house, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, Chen, However, if you don't mend old grievances, you are a scholar-bureaucrat. The evil spirits in the letter will inevitably be tempted by tricks, and it is normal to be close to the waiter!

Zhang Pingchuan

Zhang Ping is a native of Linqu, Qingzhou. At the age of twenty, he lived in Shanzhou and joined the secretariat of Luo Jinshan. Luo Jinshan was transferred to Chuzhou, and Zhang Ping was appointed as "Ma Bu Ping". When Emperor Taizong was stunned, he laid Zhang flat at home to handle affairs. When Mei Ting, King of Qin, was appointed as an official of Guizhou Province, Zhang Ping was appointed as a private official. In the next few years, Zhang Ping was accused of hiding money at home. The king of Qin reported that Emperor Taizong had questioned him and there was no evidence. The king of Qin gradually disliked him and let him go. Emperor Taizong pitied him for not committing a crime and entrusted him to Xu Shuai Gao Jichong, appointing him as the town commander. Zhang Ping lamented: "Although my fate is not smooth, I may not be blessed in the future."

After Emperor Taizong proclaimed himself emperor, he hired Zhang Ping as the right classroom director to supervise the timber trade of Qin and Long. Zhang Pingquan changed the new system, set up a capital service, and calculated the cost of land and water transportation. In the spring and autumn, he took a big bamboo raft and transported the wood of Weihe River to the Yellow River, and it was collected in Beijing through the mainstay mountain. After a year, the best wood piled up like a mountain. Emperor Taizong rewarded his contribution, promoted him as a sacrificial officer, supervised the timber affairs of Yangpingdu, and was also in charge of the shipyard. After the original officials built the ship, because the river was swift and fierce, in order to prevent the ship from drifting away, each ship had to be guarded by three families, and thousands of families were hired every year. Zhang Ping dug a pool to draw water and tied the boat to the pool, so there was no need to call the people's forces. There is a thief named Yang Bahua who has lived in Guanfu area for many years. The court ordered Chamberlain to lead the troops of several states to crusade, but none of them were destroyed. Zhang Ping sent someone to persuade him with good words, and the bandits joined him. Zhang Ping was appointed as the assistant envoy of Chongyi, and still holds his original post. I have worked for * * * for nine years, and I have a total of 800,000 official money.

Zhang Ping likes historical biographies. When he was in a humble position, if he found strange books, he would ponder all day and sometimes take off his clothes to change books. When the dignitaries arrived, they had collected thousands of books. When I was in Pengmen, several county officials abused Zhang Ping, who was later convicted and sent to Beijing Kiln as a coolie. Zhang Ping's son just went to inspect the laborers here, found them and told Zhang Ping about it. Zhang Ping called them to the yamen and gave a banquet to comfort them. He said, "Unfortunately, you suddenly encountered such a disaster. Don't take the original thing to heart. " I also gave them money to treat them well. Before long, these people were pardoned and returned to their original places. At that time, people praised Zhang Ping for his forgiveness and kindness.

(Author) Comments: When Emperor Taizong was not prominent, he would inevitably seek honest and capable talents around him. When he acceded to the throne, he promoted the original meritorious people around him, including Chen and others, all of whom were appointed with full quota, and entrusted them with military supplies and other important tasks, so everyone worked hard in their respective jobs, which was commendable. But Zhang Ping doesn't care about past grievances, which (almost) goes beyond the mind of literati. Chen used magic to deceive and confuse the emperor's crooked ways and the attitude of the emperor's attendants was almost the same!
