Translation of Lu Ye Chucai's Biography

Yeluchucai (1 190- 1244) was born in the Khitan nationality in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties and descended from the Liao royal family. The word Jin Qing, a layman, is a native of the middle reaches of the world (now Beijing). When Chu Cai was young, he read widely, bypassing astronomy, geography, calendar, martial arts, Buddhism and Taoism, medicine and divination. Because of his father's shadow, he became an official in the Jin Dynasty. Yuan Taizu surrendered to Mongolia in 10 (12 15). He traveled west to Central Asia with Mao Genghis Khan, divining astrology and practicing medicine. During the founding of Tuo Lei and the reign of Emperor Taizong Wokuotai, he had to master Chinese? Red (secretary) Dragon, known as China's secretary, is highly valued and participates in the decision-making on some major issues. Please divide the army and the people; Oppose the use of Han land as pasture, set up ten tax collectors such as Yanjing, and implement the tax system; Set up an editing room in Yanjing and a library of ancient books in Pingyang to compile Confucian classics and gradually promote culture and education; Apply Confucianism, start classes and choose scholars; Abolish the old system of slaughter, and so on. It played a beneficial role in the economic and cultural recovery of the "Han land" (referring to the northern agricultural area under the jurisdiction of the former Jin Dynasty), and most of the founding scale of the Yuan Dynasty was laid by it. Wokuotai died sweating like a pig, and was called by Queen Ma Su, favoring Hui people, such as Odura Herman. Yeluchucai was ostracized and died of depression. I believe in Buddhism and associate with monks. He is the author of Zhan Ran Jushi Ji, The Journey to the West, Wu Geng Ethan, Shi Yi of Emperor Ji Jing, Five-Star Secret Language, The Great Book of Prophets, etc. In the works of feudal times, Lu Ye Chucai has always been regarded as a "famous minister". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once ordered the establishment of a shrine for Lu Ye Chu Cai at the foot of Mount Weng in the western suburb of Beijing (now the Summer Palace) as a memorial, and the temple still exists today. Yeluchucai, whose real name is Jin Qing, is the eighth grandson of Yeluchucai, the king of Dongdan in Liao Dynasty. His father, Yelulu, was able to play for Jin Shizong because of his outstanding knowledge and conduct, which made him very close and deeply trusted. When he died, his official position was right.

When Chu was only three years old, his father died and his mother Yang taught him to read. I read a lot when I grow up. I know astronomy, geography, law, mathematics, Buddhism, Taoism, medicine, divination and so on. It seems that it has already been done. In the Jin Dynasty, as usual, the son of the prime minister could be admitted to the provincial official of Shangshu. Yeluchucai wanted to take the examination of Jinshi, and Zhang Zong's imperial edict was done according to the original system. The examiner used several difficult cases to ask questions. At that time, there were 17 people who took the exam together, but Chu Cai's answer was particularly good, so he was recruited as a provincial official of Shangshu. Since then, I have been known as a colleague in Kaizhou.

In the second year of Zhenyou, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin moved the capital to the capital of Bianliang, and Hong Yan Fuxing saved trouble for the minister and stayed in Yanjing, and hired Lu Yechu as the foreign minister of the left and right departments. Emperor Genghis Khan captured Yanjing, and when he heard the name of Chu Cai, he summoned him. Lu Ye Chucai is only eight feet tall, with a beautiful beard and a loud voice. Mao valued him very much and said, "Liao and Jin dynasties have been enemies for generations. I will avenge you. " Cai Mao said, "My father and grandfather both served the court. Since they are the subjects of the ruler, how can they hate their own monarch? " Mao respected his words and arranged him around, so he called Chu Cai "Utusaheli" instead of his name "Utusaheli". In Mongolian, "Utusaheli" means a man with a beard.

In the summer and June of the following year, Mao returned to China on the Western Expedition. On the day of flag-raising, the snow fell three feet thick. Mao was puzzled. Yeluchucai said: "The appearance of water vapor in midsummer is a sign of defeating the enemy." In winter in Chen Geng, the thunder was very loud, and Mao asked him again. He replied, "King Hui will die in the wild." These words will be useful in the future. Xixia people often weigh eight catties. Because he was good at making bows and arrows, he was appreciated by Mao, so he often boasted: "The country is raising troops and fighting. What's the use of Yelu Chucai as a scholar! " Chu Cai said, "You still need a bowman to make a bow. Take the people of the world, why don't you have to govern the craftsmen of the world? " Mao was very happy to hear this, and he trusted and valued him more and more. People who know the western calendar say that there will be an eclipse on the evening of May 15. Chu Cai said, "No," and there was no eclipse. In October of the following year, Lu Yechu said there would be an eclipse, but people in the western regions said no, and the time was indeed eight o'clock. In August of Renwu, a comet appeared in the west, and Chu Cai said, "Jurchen will change to emperor." In the second year, Jin Xuanzong died as expected. Every time Mao set out to make a crusade, he was sure to make a prediction of good or bad luck, and Mao himself burned the shoulder bones of the sheep to judge whether God's will was consistent with personnel. Pointing to Chu Cai, he said to Taizong, "This man was given to my family by God. Military affairs will be handed over to him in the future. " During Shen Jia's reign, Mao arrived in East India and was stationed in tiemenguan. There is a beast with horns on its head, which is shaped like a deer, but has a horse's tail. It's green and can speak human words. He said to the guard, "Your master should go back early." When Mao asked Chu Cai, Chu Cai replied, "This is an auspicious animal named Jiaoduan, who can speak all languages, likes animals and hates killing. This is God's warning to your Majesty. Your majesty is the eldest son of the son of heaven, and all the people in the world are your children. I hope that Your Majesty will comply with God's will and save the lives of the people. " Mao withdrew his troops on that day.

In winter, with Mao's conquest of Lingwu, the generals scrambled to seize their children's gold and silk, but Yeluchucai specialized in collecting lost books, rhubarb and other medicinal materials. Soon the soldiers were infected with an epidemic and they were cured with rhubarb. Mao personally managed the Western Regions, and it was too late to formulate relevant systems. State and county governors kill people at will, and even force the wives of ordinary people to be slaves, plunder property and annex land. Yanji stayed behind, and the satrap Shibu was particularly greedy and tyrannical, killing people all over the city. Hearing this, Chu Cai shed tears and immediately played Mao, demanding a ban on all counties. Without the imperial edict, people should not be taxed and transferred casually. Prisoners who should be sentenced to death must report it, and offenders will be sentenced to death, so the atmosphere of greed and violence has been curbed. There are many fierce thieves in Yanjing area. In broad daylight, they pull the ox cart to the rich family to ask for property, or kill them if they don't give it. At that time, Zong Rui Tuo Lei, as a prince, supervised state affairs and heard about these situations, so he sent special envoys from the palace and Lu Yechu to conduct a severe investigation. Chu Cai found out the names of the thieves, all relatives and powerful children of the late chief executive, and arrested them all. The thief bribed the envoy in the palace, and the envoy tried his best to delay the handling. Chucai explained to him the consequences of doing so. The envoys were afraid and listened to Lu Ye Chucai's advice. After the decision was made, 16 people were executed in the market, and Yanjing people settled down.

In the autumn of the ugly year, Emperor Taizong was about to ascend to the throne, and members of the imperial clan got together. The discussion has not yet reached a decision. At that time, Zong Rui Tuo Lei was the younger brother of Taizong Wokuotai, so Lu Yechu said to Zong Rui: "This is a major event in the ancestral hall society and should be determined as soon as possible." Zong Rui said, "It's not over yet. How about another day? " Chu Cai said, "After today, there will be no auspicious day." So Lu Yechu decided to establish a etiquette system, and then said to Prince Chahetai: "Although the prince is a brother, his position is a courtier, and he should bow down to the emperor according to etiquette. If you bow down, then no one dares not bow down. " Chahetai agrees with him very much. When Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Chahetai led all the royal family members and ministers to bow down under the palace account. After the ceremony, he retired, and Chahetai caressed Lu Ye Chucai and said, "You are really the minister of peace and prosperity!" From then on, there was a ceremony of bowing between Mongolian monarch and minister. At that time, there were many people who were late for the court meeting and should be executed. Chu Cai said, "Your Majesty has just acceded to the throne, so he should pardon them." Taizong took his advice.

The Central Plains has just been pacified, and there are many people who make mistakes, but there is no pardon in the national laws and regulations. Lu Ye Chucai asked for leniency, but everyone thought it was unrealistic. Only Chu Cai seriously suggested to the emperor. The emperor issued an imperial edict, stipulating that anything that happened before the first day of the first month of Gengyin year would not be investigated. He also drew up eighteen things that should be done and suggested that they should be promulgated all over the world. Roughly speaking, "States and counties should set up officials to govern the people and thousands of households to unify the army, so that the military and the people are evenly matched and prevent arrogance and slowness." The Central Plains is the source of national wealth, and the people here should be protected and cared for. Without orders from superiors, counties that dare to levy taxes without authorization will be convicted. Those who borrow government property to do business will also be convicted. People who do not pay taxes in Mongolia, Uighur, Hexi and other places are sentenced to death. Officials in charge of management who steal government property themselves will also be executed. Anyone who commits a capital crime should state his reasons to the court for approval and then be executed. Tributes and gifts from all over the country are harmful and must be strictly prohibited. "Emperor Taizong agreed, except that it was forbidden to donate gifts, saying," Voluntary donations should be allowed. Chu Cai said: "The scourge of corruption must start from here." Emperor Taizong said, "I don't agree with anything you invite. Can't you obey me? "

When Mao was alive, he had to fight in the western regions every year, and he didn't have time to run and manage the Central Plains. Many officials collect property for their own plans. There is too much property at home and the government has no reserves. Recently, Minister Biedie and others said, "Han people are useless to the country. They can leave all their land to graze. " Yeluchucai said, "Your Majesty is about to go south, and the army needs some sources. If the land tax, business tax and taxes on salt, wine, iron smelting, mountains and rivers and lakes in the Central Plains can be determined in a balanced way, we can get 502,000 silver, 80,000 silks and more than 400,000 chestnuts every year, which is enough to meet the needs of the army. How can you say it's useless? " Taizong said, "Give me a try." So I asked Yanjing and other ten-way tax collectors to set up, and scholars were appointed for official positions and deputy official positions, such as generous elders such as Chen and Zhao Wei, the first-class figures in the world, and all official positions used six original staffs of the Jin Dynasty. Xin Maoqiu and Emperor Taizong came to the cloud to send grain, gold and silk books to be displayed in the courtyard. Emperor Taizong smiled and said to Chu Cai, "You have never left my side, but you can make the country rich. Is there a minister like you in Nan Jin State? " Chu Cai replied, "The people there are smarter and more capable than me. I don't have the ability, so I'll stay in Yanjing for you. " Emperor Taizong appreciated his modesty and gave him wine. He was immediately appointed as the secretary of the Secretariat. No matter how big or small, he should be informed and asked for his advice first.

Lu Ye brilliantly said, "All local counties and counties should let the chief executive take charge of civil affairs, and every household should take charge of military affairs. Powerful people cannot interfere in any tax collection affairs of local supervisors. " Zhenhai and Adhesive were also recommended to cooperate with him, but the dignitaries were not convinced. Xiandebu was particularly jealous of Lu Ye Chucai because he had a grudge against him in the past. In front of Wang Zong, he framed: "Chinese book Lu Ye specially appointed his cronies, so he must have a rebellious heart. He should ask the emperor to kill him. " King Zong sent someone to tell the emperor that Emperor Taizong knew it was framed, reprimanded the messenger and sent him back. Then someone accused Xian Debu of breaking the law, and Emperor Taizong ordered Chu Cai to hear the matter. Lu Ye Chucai said, "This man is arrogant, so it is easy to attract others' attacks. We will fight against Yugoslavia now, and it is not too late to deal with it later. " Taizong privately said to his courtiers, "Chu doesn't care about personal grievances." He is really generous to old people. You should follow his example. " The dignitaries in the palace may not take the time to invite servants who collect gold and silver and households who go to the western regions to farm and grow grapes. Emperor Taizong ordered the relocation of more than 10,000 households in Xijing Xuande. Chu Cai said, "According to the last words of the late emperor, the people behind the mountain are as simple as the Mongols. They can be used in dangerous situations and should not be moved easily. Now that Henan is about to be conquered, please don't disperse the people behind the mountains so that they can be used in this military operation. " Taizong agreed to his request.

In the spring of Renchen, Emperor Taizong went south to conquer and was about to cross the Yellow River, and ordered the fleeing people to surrender and avoid death. Some people say, "these people surrender when they are in danger and run away when they have nothing to do." It is only beneficial to the enemy and cannot be lenient. " Yeluchucai demanded that hundreds of flags be made and sent to the surrendered refugees to return to their villages, so that many people could save their lives. According to the traditional Mongolian system, anyone who attacks a city and the enemy attacks with bows and stones is disobedience. After the conquest, all the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed. The capital of song dynasty was about to fall, and the general Su Butai sent someone to say, "The Jin people have resisted for a long time, and our army suffered heavy casualties. On the day when the capital of song dynasty fell, the city should be slaughtered. " Yelu Chucai hurried in and said, "Soldiers have worked hard for decades, and all they want is land and people. What's the use of losing people? " Emperor Taizong hesitated, and Chu Cai added, "Skilled craftsmen and rich children are all concentrated here. If we kill them all, we will get nothing. " Emperor Taizong accepted his suggestion and only punished Yan Yan's family in the next imperial edict, and the rest were not investigated. At that time, there were1470,000 people living in the capital of song dynasty to escape the war. Yeluchucai also requested to send people to the city to look for the descendants of Confucius, to find Kong Yuan Cuo, the 51st generation grandson of Confucius, and to ask him to inherit the title of "Duke of Feast", to deliver the land of Kong Lin and the Confucius Temple to him, and to order him to collect the rites and music of the rulers. He also recruited famous Confucian scholars, such as Liang Yi, Wang Wanqing and Zhao Zhu, and asked them to translate the nine classics into spoken English and tell the prince. He also led the descendants of ministers to explain the meaning with scriptures and let them know the teachings of saints. A compilation institute was established in Yanjing and a Confucian classics institute was established in Pingyang. Since then, civilized education has flourished.

At that time, Henan province had just been captured and many prisoners were taken. When the Mongols came back, seven or eight of the ten prisoners escaped. The emperor ordered that all those who took in and supported the fugitives should be put to death, and the whole family should sit in the same village and block. So no one dared to take in fugitives, and most of them starved to death on the road. Yeluchucai calmly said to Taizong: "Henan has been pacified, and the people here are all your majesty's children." Where will they go? " Why do you want to implicate dozens and hundreds of people in death because of a prisoner? "Emperor Taizong woke up and lifted the ban. After the demise of the Jin Dynasty, only more than twenty states, including Qin and Gong, did not surrender for a long time. Chu Cai said: "In the past, our people escaped punishment, and some of them concentrated in these places, so they fought to the death. If they promise not to kill them, they will collapse. "The imperial edict pardoned the crimes of the capital, and all these cities surrendered.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was discussed that people in the Central Plains should register as households. Minister Hu Duhu and others suggested that adult men should be taxed. Yeluchucai said, "No way. If an adult man escapes, then the tax will not be collected, and the household should be the object of collection. " After many arguments, it was finally decided to take households as the collection object. Captives captured by ministers at that time were often stored in local counties. Chu Cai used the opportunity of registering his household registration to order all prisoners to be registered as civilians, and anyone who concealed possession was sentenced to death.

B in three years, the court negotiated to conquer the place that did not belong to it. If Hui people are sent to conquer the south of the Yangtze River and Han people to conquer the western regions, it can be effectively controlled. Lu Ye said brilliantly, "No, the Central Plains and the Western Regions are far apart, and we are tired before we reach the enemy's territory. In addition, they are acclimatized and prone to infectious diseases, so they should do what they can. " The emperor accepted his suggestion.

In the spring of the war, during the gathering of kings, Emperor Taizong personally picked up the glass and handed it to Yelu Chucai, saying, "The reason why I hired you to have a heart-to-heart conversation is on the orders of my late emperor. Without you, there would be no Central Plains today. Because of your efforts, I can sit back and relax. " Ambassadors from western countries, Song Dynasty and North Korea all came to appear before the court, and most of what they said was not credible. Taizong pointed to Lu Yechu and said to them, "Is there such a talent in your country?" The messengers all said honestly, "No, he is just a man of God!" " Taizong said, "That's all you have. I don't think there are such talents in your country." A man named Yu Yuan called for the issuance of paper money. Yeluchucai said: "In Jin Zhangzong, paper money was introduced to be used with copper coins. The government makes a profit by issuing paper money and is unwilling to recycle it. It is called' old paper money', and even a $10,000 paper money can only buy one cake. The poverty of the people and the shortage of state funds should be taken as a warning. Now you can't print more than 10 thousand ingots. " The court accepted his opinion.

In autumn and July, the tribal tiger suddenly sent a household registration book, and Emperor Taizong planned to divide the counties into princes and heroes. Yeluchucai said: "Dividing the land into people is easy to cause conflicts and disputes. It is better to give them more money and property. " Taizong said, "I have promised. What should I do? " Chu Cai said, "If the imperial court set officials to collect the taxes paid by the heroes of the kings and give them at the end of the year, it will be fine."

Yes "Taizong agreed with his idea, so he determined the national tax, and every two households gave a catty of silk for the country's use; Five households together produced a catty of silk as the income of kings and heroes' fiefs. Local tax: 2.5 liters per mu for medium-sized fields, 3 liters for dominant fields, 2 liters for inferior fields and 5 liters for paddy fields; One thirtieth of the business tax; Salt price, 40 Jin for silver. After the normal tax amount was determined, the court discussed that it was too light. Chu Cai said: "If taxes are light, there will still be drawbacks of corruption. In the future, some people will take increasing national income as a way of promotion. In that case, the current tax amount is already very heavy. "

At that time, craftsmen made articles and wasted official materials at will, and nine times out of ten they owned them privately. Yeluchucai demanded that all of them be assessed and a fixed system be established. At that time, courtiers took off their happiness and asked them to choose beautiful women among unmarried women in the world. The imperial edict has been issued, and Yelu Chucai stopped it, and Taizong was furious. Chu Cai remonstrated, "Twenty-eight beautiful women have been chosen before, which is enough for you. Now we have to choose again. I am worried about disturbing the people and want to report to your majesty again. " It took Taizong a long time to say, "This matter can be cancelled." Chu Cai said, "Where silkworms are raised, no horses are produced. If the horse collection law is implemented now, it will definitely become a scourge to the people in the future. " Taizong accepted his suggestion again.

Ding Younian and Lu Yechu said: "We must use good craftsmen to make utensils, and we must appoint Confucian ministers to safeguard the achievements that the country has made." The cause of Confucian scholars is difficult to succeed without decades of accumulation. Emperor Taizong said, "If so, these people can become officials." . "Chu Cai said," Please try to choose them. " So he ordered Xuandezhou to divide classes and let Liu Zhong go to various counties to preside over the examination, which was divided into three subjects: classics, ci and science. Scholars who were captured as slaves were also allowed to take the exam, and those who were hidden by their masters from taking the exam were sentenced to death. * * * 4300 scholars were selected, and a quarter of them were exempted from slavery.

In the past, many state and county officials borrowed money from businessmen to repay debts owed to the government, and the accumulated interest was several times that of capital, which was called "lamb profit". Even their wives and children were sold into slavery, which is not clear. Lu Ye was brilliant, and ordered that interest should not be increased after the capital was equal, and it would become a fixed system forever. The debts owed by the people will be repaid by the government. It was not until the unified measurement, the issuance of seals, the formulation of banknote laws, the formulation of unified trade laws and regulations, the establishment of postal systems, and the clarification of the vouchers for the use of post stations that all kinds of government affairs were basically complete and the people were able to take a rest.

There are two Taoists trying to be Taoists, and each of them has gathered a group of followers. A Taoist framed two followers of his opponent as deserters, colluded with imperial secretary and general manager Yang Weizhong, arrested them and brutally killed them. Lu Ye detained Yang Weizhong for questioning, but the palace attendants said that Chu Cai had violated the court system. Emperor Taizong was furious and arrested Chu Cai. Then he regretted it and ordered his release. Chu Cai refused to let go and said to Taizong, "As a prime minister, I am related to the major policies of the country. Your Majesty ordered me to be arrested because I was guilty, and should publicly declare my crime unforgivable in front of hundreds of officials. Now I am released because I am innocent. How can I toss and turn like a child? What can you do if something big happens to the country? " Everyone turned pale with fear. Taizong said, "Although I am the emperor, isn't there anything wrong?" So kind words comforted him. Chu Cai took the opportunity to state ten measures to cope with the current situation. These ten measures are: rewarding and punishing according to the letter, correcting the name, giving salary, making official contributions, taking the most senior high school entrance examinations, failing in all subjects, choosing craftsmen, planting mulberry, fixing local taxes and making grain transportation. They are all in line with the times, and Emperor Taizong agreed to implement them.

Lv Zhen and Liu Zizhen were convicted of corruption for transshipment on Taiyuan Road. Emperor Taizong blamed Lu Yechu for saying, "You said that Confucius' teaching is feasible and scholars are good people. Why are there such people? Chu Cai replied, "The monarch's father taught his subjects not to do immoral things. The three cardinal guides and the five permanents are the teachings of saints, and everyone who runs the country must follow them, just like the sun and the moon in the sky. How can the teachings that the world has always pursued be abolished in our dynasty because of one person's fault? " Emperor Taizong's anger was relieved.

Liu Hudu, the rich man, and CICI?, who dabbled in Fading and CICI?, used1420,000 yuan to contract the taxes in the world. Chu Cai said, "These guys are greedy for money, bully the imperial court, and do great harm to the people." Ask the emperor to cancel this practice. He often said: "It is better to eliminate a disadvantage than to enhance an advantage. It is better to do one more thing." Ren Shang thought Ban Chao's words were plain, but after a thousand years, he came to his own conclusion. Only those who will be condemned in the future know that what I said is true. "Emperor Taizong always likes to drink, and he drinks with ministers every day. Chu Cai dissuaded him many times, but Emperor Taizong refused to listen. He took the iron mouth of the wine trough and said to Emperor Taizong, "Wine can rot things, but iron is still like this, not to mention the five internal organs of people. "Emperor Taizong woke up and said to the minister," Can you people care about the king and the country like me? So he gave him gold and silk property and ordered his servants to drink for three minutes every day.

After the tariff was determined in Geng Yin, the tax amount increased every year until 1894, when Henan was pacified in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, and 1898 collected Baiyinda10/20,000 Liang in one hundred days. An Tianhe, a translator, ingratiated himself with Zhenhai and took the lead in attracting audubon to buy taxes, which increased to 2.22 million taels of silver. Yeluchucai argued hard to dissuade him, and his expression was rich, and he said and cried. Taizong said, "Do you want to fight?" He said, "Do you want to cry for the people? Let them try to do it. " Chu Cai couldn't stop it. He sighed, "The people are trapped and poor, so start from now on!" Yeluchucai had dinner with Wang Zong. He was drunk and lying in the car. Taizong saw it on the night of Yuan Dynasty, and went directly to his camp. He boarded the bus and pushed him by hand. Chucai slept soundly, and he was annoyed that others disturbed him. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw the emperor. He quickly got up and apologized. Taizong said, "If you are drunk, don't you want to have fun with me?" Left with a smile. Chu had no time to get dressed, so he rode to the emperor's palace. Emperor Taizong held a banquet for him and enjoyed himself.

Yeluchucai presided over government affairs for a long time, and gave all his salary to his relatives, never letting them be officials for personal gain. Liu Min, a provincial province, seriously mentioned this matter to him. Chu Cai said: "The only way to make relatives harmonious is to subsidize them with property. I can't let them be officials in order to take care of their personal feelings. "

On February 3, the year of Xin Chou, Emperor Taizong was critically ill, and the doctor said that his pulse had stopped. The queen was at a loss and called Lu Ye Chu for questioning. Chu Cai replied: "The officials appointed now are not suitable. They sold their official positions, demanded bribes and imprisoned many innocent people. A kind word from the ancients can make Mars return to its original position. I ask for pardon of prisoners in the world. " When the queen wanted to do it at once, Chu Cai said, "Not without the emperor's order." After a while, Taizong was a little more sober, so he asked for pardon. Emperor Taizong also speechless, nodded in agreement. That night, the doctor detected the pulse beating again, which happened to be the time to read the pardon order, and he recovered the next day. On 1 1 4th of the month in winter, Emperor Taizong would go out hunting. Chu Cai counted by Taiyi, and quickly said that he could not hunt. The left and right attendants all said, "You can't be happy without riding horses and shooting arrows." After five days of hunting, Taizong died in the camp. Manet, a virgin, exercised imperial power to reuse and trust the wicked, and all government affairs were out of order. Audoul Rahman came to power because of taxes, and people in the imperial court were afraid of him and attached to him. Chu Cai rebuked face to face, argued in court, and said what others dared not say. People are worried about him.

In May, when Mars invaded Fangxing, Lu Yechu said, "There will be trouble, but everything will be fine in the end." Not long after, the court used troops, things happened in a hurry, and the masses made trouble. The queen then ordered reliable people to be armed and even wanted to move west to avoid the crisis. Chu Cai said: "The imperial court is the foundation of the world. Once shaken, the world will be in chaos. I watch the sky, and there is no disaster. " Settle down after a few days. The queen gave the white paper stamped with the emperor's seal to Odura Herman to fill out by himself. Chu Cai said, "The world belongs to the first emperor. The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and now it will be disturbed. I dare not obey orders. " Therefore, the matter was shelved. Another law says, "If you don't record all the suggestions made by Odura Herman, cut off his hand." Chu Cai said: "The first emperor entrusted me to safeguard the laws and regulations of the country. What does this have to do with your history? If things are reasonable, they should naturally be ordered to be executed. If not, they are not afraid of death, let alone breaking their hands! " The queen is very unhappy. Chu Cai still argued and said loudly, "I have served Taizu and Taizong for more than 30 years, and I have not failed my country. How can the queen execute me without prosecution? " Although the queen hates him, she is both respectful and afraid because he is an active veteran of the previous dynasty. In Chen Jia's summer and May, Lu Ye Chucai died in his official position at the age of 55. The queen mourned and presented a very generous gift. Later, someone framed Chu Cai, saying that he had been a prime minister for a long time, and half of the world's taxes fell to his family. The queen ordered Marisa, the minister of attendants, to have a look. There are only a dozen pianos and Ruan, as well as thousands of ancient and modern paintings, epigraphy and posthumous works. In the first year of Shunzhi, Liang Yin, the hero of grain transportation, was given the title of Taishi, Shangzhou, King Guangning of posthumous title and "Zheng Wen" of posthumous title.
