Prudence and frugality in classical Chinese translation

In the first year of Kaiyuan, he was appointed as Wei Zihuang. For three years, he served as Huang Menjian. Wang Xue's uncle Wang Xiantong abused the people. Yu Shitai has investigated and mastered his crime and has filed a case. At this time, another imperial edict ordered Zihui and Huangmen provinces to review the facts. Lu Huaishen and Yao Chong said: "Wang Xiantong's guilt is very clear. If the suggestions can be doubted, how can others believe them? " So the case is closed. Lu Huaishen thought that he was not as talented as Yao Chong, so he gave his own affairs to Yao Chong, but he was not arbitrary. At that time, people laughed at him as "the prime minister who accompanied him to dinner." He also served as an official minister, resigned due to illness and was approved. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the secretariat of Jingzhou. Leave a note recommending Song Jing, Li Jie, Li and Lv Congyuan. Xuanzong was very sad and sighed.

Lu Huaishen is honest and thrifty, and does not run industry. There are no clothes and utensils made of gold and jade. Although she has a prominent position, her wife and children are still hungry and cold. The wages and gifts I got were given to my relatives and friends without hesitation, and they were given away for nothing, and soon dispersed. When I went to Du Dong to preside over the election, I only brought a cloth bag. After getting sick, Song Jing and Lu Cong want to visit her. They saw that the mat was thin and broken, and there was no curtain on the door. It happened that there was wind and rain, so they lifted the mat to cover it. It is getting late. There are only two pots of steamed beans and several bowls of vegetables. When he left, Lu Huaishen shook hands with them and said, "Your master is eager to realize the great rule of the world. However, he has been in office for a long time and is a little tired of diligence. I'm afraid someone has ulterior motives and takes the opportunity to appoint. Remember these words! " At the end of the funeral, there was no savings at home. Xuanzong was going to Du Dong at that time. Zhang Xing, a doctor from the Fourth University, said, "Lu Huaishen is loyal, honest and upright. If he is not well paid, he can't persuade people to do good. " So he gave his family one hundred pieces of cloth and two hundred grains of rice. After Xuanzong, he traveled to and from the capital and hunted between Hubei and Du. He saw that the wall of Lu Huaishen's house was simple and low, and the family wanted to do something, so he sent envoys to inquire. The envoy came back and reported that it was a sacrifice to Daxiang twenty-five months after Lu Huaishen's death. Xuanzong rewarded fine silk and stopped hunting. After Lu Huaishen's tomb, the stone tablet has not yet been erected. Xuanzong stopped to watch, tears streaming down his face. The imperial edict ordered the imperial court to erect a monument for him, and asked the assistant minister Su (Ting Page) of Zhongshu to draft the inscription, which Xuanzong personally wrote.
