1. Introduction to Fu Bi's life and deeds:

- Biography and Deeds:

- Early Experience: Fu Bi was studious and energetic when he was young, and was appreciated by Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu. In the eighth year of Tiansheng (1030), he was the first to be a supervisor and a governor of Changshui County, Henan Prefecture. Later, due to the death of his father, he resigned from the government and kept filial piety for three years. In the second year of the Ming Dynasty (1033), Fan Zhongyan was demoted for protesting against the deposition of Empress Guo, and Fu Bi's defense was also demoted to Jiangzhou General Judgment.

- Positive advice: In the first year of Baoyuan (1038), after Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, became emperor, the Northern Song court used many people inappropriately.

In the third year of Baoyuan (1040), Fu Bi served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and repeatedly admonished Song Renzong, such as requesting to recruit soldiers to deploy in the southeast artery, reduce army redundancy, and widely communicate the road according to the changes in the sky. During this period, he also played an important role in the handling of some cases, such as clearing Liu Ping's grievances and opposing the appointment of Wang Shouzhong as the governor of the capital.

- Envoy to Khitan: In the summer and April of the first year of Kangding (1040), Fu Bi was appointed as the judge of the three divisions of salt and iron, and in August of the same year, he was appointed as the envoy of the Khitan lord Zhengdan, and was ordered to envoy to the Khitan. In the first month of the second year of Qingli (1042), the Khitan gathered troops to garrison the border of the Northern Song Dynasty and sent ministers to claim the territory of Guannan. Fu Bi negotiated with the Khitan ministers Xiao Ying and Liu Liufu many times, and finally successfully rejected the Khitan request for land cession, and maintained the peace between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Khitan, only promising to increase the annual tribute, and promised to marry the clan girl to the Khitan Liang King to make peace (Fu Bi objected to the matter of harmony).

- Participation in the New Deal and Foreign Appointments: In the third year of Qingli (1043), Fu Bi served as the deputy privy envoy, and Fan Zhongyan implemented the "Qingli New Deal", putting forward a number of current political proposals, advocating the elimination of malpractices, but was framed and went out of Yunzhou, Qingzhou and other places. When he was in Qingzhou, the Heshuo area was hit by a major flood, and Fubi rescued more than 500,000 victims, and his disaster relief methods were regarded as a model by the whole country.

- Later life: In the second year of Zhihe (1055), Fu Bi was promoted to the rank of Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and Jixian Hall Scholar. After Song Yingzong ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of Duke of Qi, and Song Shenzong once entered the title of Duke Zheng Guo, during which Fu Bi repeatedly resigned from high officials on the grounds of foot disease, and he also advised Song Shenzong to identify treachery and evil, and be close to loyalty.

In the fourth year of Xining (1071), Fu Bi was deposed from the position of minister because of his opposition to Wang Anshi's change of law, and his sentence was changed to Ruzhou as a left servant, and he later took advantage of the situation to ask for retirement, and retired to Luoyang as Sikong and Wuning Jiedu envoy and Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and Korea Gong. During his retirement, Fu Bi still paid attention to the affairs of the imperial court and actively advised.

In August of the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083), Fu Bi died at the age of 80 at the age of 80, and the imperial court gave him the title of Tai Lieutenant, and the name was "Wenzhong", and in June of the first year of Yuanyou (1086), Fu Bi was worthy of enjoying the temple court of Song Shenzong.

Second, Fu Bi's idea of being an official is an official:

- Loyalty and patriotism: Fu Bi always put the interests of the country first, whether it was actively admonishing or sending envoys to the Khitan, all in order to maintain the stability and dignity of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the face of the country's crisis, he was able to stand up, such as when he was an envoy to the Khitan, regardless of his personal safety, he fought on the basis of reason, and insisted on the land without ceding it.

- People-oriented: When serving in the local government, he can really care about the well-being of the people, such as in Qingzhou, in the face of floods, actively organize disaster relief, properly resettle the victims, and do not refuse a large influx of victims, showing that he values the lives of the people.

- Honest and honest: Fu Bi is an upright official and does not covet power and property. For example, when Song Yingzong ascended the throne and rewarded his ministers with additional rewards for his own affairs, he kowtowed and thanked him but refused to accept it, believing that if he did not refuse the additional gifts, he would not be able to advise the emperor to avoid exceptions in the future.

3. Influence on future generations:

- Politics: His participation and contributions to the "Qingli New Deal" played a certain role in promoting the political reform of the Northern Song Dynasty, and although the New Deal ultimately failed, it provided experience and lessons for later reforms. He sent many envoys to the Khitan, successfully maintained border peace, stabilized the three-legged situation of the Song, Liao, and Western Xia, and won a peaceful development environment for the Northern Song Dynasty for a long time, and his diplomatic strategies and experience also provided reference for later generations.

- Culture: Fu Bi is the author of Fu Zheng Gongji, etc., which has left a valuable cultural heritage for future generations, and his literary achievements have also contributed to the development of Northern Song Dynasty literature.

Fourth, the main contributions:

- Diplomatic achievements: Sent to the Khitan, under the difficult diplomatic situation, with excellent diplomatic skills and firm stand, refused to cede land, eased relations with the Khitan by increasing the annual currency, avoided the outbreak of war, and maintained the territorial integrity and border security of the country.

- Political Reform: Actively participated in the "Qingli New Deal" and put forward a series of political ideas and reform measures, although the New Deal was not completely successful, it provided a useful exploration for the reform and development of the political system in the Northern Song Dynasty.

- Model of disaster relief: The disaster relief measures taken during his tenure in Qingzhou, such as the scattered resettlement of disaster victims, the organization of officials to manage the districts, the persuasion of wealthy households to donate grain, and the opening of warehouses to release grain, not only saved a large number of disaster victims, but also provided effective methods and experience for future generations to deal with disasters, and his disaster relief methods are regarded as models by the whole country.

5. Fu Bi made an important contribution to defusing the tensions between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and the following are relevant examples:

- Sent an envoy to the Liao State and used the Song-Liao relationship to balance the Western Xia: In the second year of the Qingli reign of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1042), the Song army was successively defeated by the Western Xia, and the Liao State took advantage of the fire to loot and sent an envoy to the Northern Song Dynasty to claim the land of Guannan. Fu Bi was ordered to send an envoy to Liao in danger. The negotiations between Song and Liao were extremely arduous, and Fu Bi traveled between the two countries, successively interviewed Liao Xingzong four times, and Liu Liufu, the Liao envoy, made frequent moves.

He had insight into the relationship between the Song and Liao, and carried out a "sand table deduction" from the perspective of Liao Xingzong, pointing out that the peace of nearly 40 years after the Tanyuan alliance benefited the Liao State, and if the war was lightly started, even if the Liao State won, most of the benefits would belong to the subordinates.

During the negotiations, Fu Bi not only fought for "Lizi" on the basis of reason, but also tried his best to maintain the dignity of the Song Dynasty and "save face". He successively politely rejected Liao's proposal for a marriage between the two countries, and insisted on rejecting the mention of "offering New Year's silver" and "accepting New Year's silver". Eventually, the Liao gave up their land claims to the Northern Song Dynasty, which affected the stability of the Liaoxia alliance to a certain extent, and indirectly eased the tension between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia.

- Promote the Song-Xia Peace Conference: In the fourth year of Qingli (1044), the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia reached the "Qingli Peace Conference". In this process, Fu Bi, as an important official of the Northern Song Dynasty, actively participated in the negotiation and decision-making of the peace conference.

The peace treaty stipulated that Western Xia would be a vassal to Song and cancel the emperor's title, and Yuan Hao accepted Song's title and called Xia the lord; The generals, soldiers, and households captured by both sides in the Song-Xia War will no longer be returned to each other; The two sides returned the fugitives to each other; During the Song-Xia War, the territory of the Song Dynasty occupied by the Western Xia and other border areas of the Han Dynasty belonged to the Song Dynasty, and both sides could build their own castles on their own territory; The Song Dynasty gave Western Xia silver, silk, tea and other materials every year.

The "Qingli Peace Conference" ended the large-scale war between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, maintained peace and stability on the border between the two sides for a long time, and created conditions for the economic development and cultural exchanges between the two countries.

6. Fu Bi's ways to resolve the tension between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia mainly include:

- Diplomacy: Fu Bi used his thorough knowledge of the relationship between the Song, Liao, and Western Xia to skillfully use the power of the Liao State to counterbalance the Western Xia. At that time, there was a certain alliance between the Liao State and the Western Xia, and Fu Bi sent an envoy to the Liao State, and in the negotiations with the Liao State, he successfully rejected the request of the Liao State to cede land, and maintained the peace between the Song and Liao States by increasing the annual currency. At the same time, he also made the Liao state aware that the growing strength of the Western Xia might pose a threat to the Liao state itself, thus affecting the stability of the Liaoxia alliance to a certain extent, and indirectly easing the tension between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia.

- Insight into the situation: Recognizing that the Western Xia were "growing stronger", he pointed out that the Liao had benefited greatly from the peace of the nearly forty years after the Tanyuan Alliance, and that if the war was lightly started, even if the Liao State won the war, most of the benefits would go to his subordinates, that is, those who advocated the use of troops. Therefore, he sharply reminded Liao Xingzong that once the peace was broken, no matter whether he won or lost, it was always the king of Liao who would suffer in the end.

For example, in the reform, they tried to conduct strict evaluations of officials in order to improve the quality and administrative efficiency of the official ranks, which had a certain positive significance for improving the political ecology of the Northern Song Dynasty.
