Emperor Xiaozong of Song had forbidden officials from various departments to meet at unnecessary times in order to prevent them from not practicing their professions.
This means that when er waits to take the state, he should go to work well and not spend his time on things other than work.
But there are some people whose memory is not so good.
When Li Anguo was a Lang official, someone recommended him a jianghu warlock, saying that the fortune teller was very accurate, and when the jianghu warlock came, the officials of the unit heard the news and ran to tell fortunes.
The next day, Song Xiaozong's imperial approval came down and asked them what was going on.
The fortune-telling officials were overwhelmed and wanted to find a plausible reason for themselves.
But in Li Anguo's view, to find a reason is to find death, it is best to tell the truth, to tell the truth, at best, it is a small fault, but if you say a lie, it is a deception, and the sin is great.
Therefore, he followed the story of "Lu SuJian City Drink" and told the truth to the big boss, not only was he not punished, but only three days later, he was promoted to the position of official waiter.
Lu Sujian, formerly known as Lu Zongdao, is honest and upright.
When Song Renzong was still the crown prince, Lu Sujian was a courtesan (equivalent to the prince's wife), often disguised himself and went to a tavern near his home to drink.
One day, the prince had an urgent matter for him and sent an emissary to his house to call, but there was no one in the house, and it took him a long time to return from the tavern.
The messenger, out of kindness, gave him the idea that if the boss blamed you for being late, you would make up a reason.
Lu Sujian said what a reason to make up Oh, to tell the truth. Drinking wine is the common sentiment of people, and the prince can't blame it anywhere, and it is a great sin to deceive the prince.
The messenger then said according to Teacher Lu's wishes.
The prince asked Teacher Lu, why do you want to go to the tavern to drink, you are my teacher, are you not afraid of being recognized by others?
Teacher Lu replied that my family is poor, the wine utensils at home are incomplete, and the tavern is complete, so I went, rest assured boss, I changed my clothes, and the people can't recognize it.
The prince then thought that Teacher Lu's character was valuable and could be reused in the future.
The emperor forbade the officials to meet from time to time, and because of his clan talking about not practicing professions, he also did. Li Anguo was a Lang official, and one day, there was a recommendation warlock to the same province, because he would gather words and orders. Wing Day, the royal approval of the reason, the same province is very embarrassed, Salty wants to embellish the resignation to explain themselves. An Guo said: "Tell the truth, it is too small, and it is a great sin to deceive." "Because of the story of aiding Lu Sujian City, I heard the blame and followed it from the same province." Even though he could not sleep, on the third day, Li Sui removed the official waiter.

Lin Fu, a Cangren of Taizhou, Zhejiang, has a superiority in both learning and talent, that is, a little cruel and tyrannical, a little cunning.
During the Shaoxi period, Lin Fu was appointed as the governor of Lin'an.
Someone sued Chang Liangsun, the deputy governor of the WensiYuan (who was in charge of making gold, silver, rhinoceros, jade, handicrafts, and other utensils), for corruption, and the imperial court ordered him to be arrested and put in Lin'an Prison and then ignored, and the case dragged on.
I don't know how long it took for the emperor to order Jing Yin to deal with it, but Lin Fu volunteered to find Jing Yin and asked him to hand him over for trial.
Lin Fu soon convicted Chang Liangsun and sentenced him to exile overseas.
Chang Liangsun took a passenger ship and went to report to the penal colony.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a robber in the middle, and Chang Liangsun failed to meet the robber's request, and the robber nailed his hands and feet to two boats, and as soon as the ship opened, he was torn in half.
However, Lin Fu changed his official position because of his "merits", and within a few years he was promoted to Lang Guan ,and later became aware of Huizhou.
However, in the eyes of one of Chang Liangsun's in-laws, Chang Liangsun was wronged, and it was Lin Tuiguan who was beaten into a confession, but at that time, others spoke softly and wanted to overturn the case for the relatives, but they could not do it.
After Lin returned to Zhihui Prefecture, Chang Liangsun, an in-law who became an official in the county, wanted to avenge his hatred and urged him to retry the case.
And all this, Lin Fu did not know anything.
Coincidentally, as soon as the in-laws began to act, someone sued Lin Fu for killing people with poisoned wine in the past, Yushi Xu Anguo, and also impeached his family for being arrogant and other things.
Therefore, the imperial court ordered Dali Chen Pu to be arrested and imprisoned for interrogation.
Chen Pu immediately set off and rushed to Huizhou, but he did not expect to meet Lin Fu on the Chaozhou Road, searched his luggage, and found Zhu Chair, Huang Wei and other objects.
These things, which are what Yushi Xu Anguo called usurpations and other objects, were used by Lin Fu to set up an altar for prayer—he was a Taoist disciple.
Chen Pu immediately took him to a nearby temple and interrogated him on the spot.
Lin Fu understood what kind of fate he would have and said that he wanted to see his family one last time and say goodbye to them.
After getting permission, Lin Fu entered the room, took out a bag of Chinese medicine, threw it into the wine, drank it all, and soon he was bleeding, and his family cried loudly.
The messenger heard the crying and hurried inside to see that the man surnamed Lin was out of breath and had to go back to his life.
However, no one thought that lin fu took only grass and another herb, which was not a poison at all, and could only temporarily make people unconscious.
Three days later, Lin Fu woke up and immediately went into exile, and his family carried an empty coffin to be buried.
The story of this cunning man is also involved in the famous "Yi Jianzhi", but he thinks that he is really dead, but in fact he is fake death.
Lin Zhi will not be spared, and he wishes to see his family goodbye. Enter the room, urgently probe the chinese medicine, and drink it in the wine. There is blood on the ground, the family cries, and the messenger enters the sight, and then the medicine dies, because of the resurrection. But what he served was the grass and his herbal ear. On the third day, Naisu, that is, exiled into Guangdong, his family was buried with an empty coffin. When they were first caught, the servant birds scattered, and the bags were in the middle of the noon road. Those with the surname Pan have nothing to lose in order to converge on it. His family has been asking and hearing about it for many years, and at the end of Jiading, it has even punished him... "Yi Jianzhi" is also reckless, thinking that it is really dead, which is ridiculous.

Two citizens of Liyang, Jiankang, who killed people on the same day, were both arrested and imprisoned, and after the case was finalized, they were escorted to the higher-level official office at the same time.
On the way, the second prisoner talked from time to time, and the prisoners ignored them.
At dusk, a group of people came to the hotel, and Criminal A said to Criminal B, "You and I have reached this point, and the capital crime should be committed, but it happened on the same day, and I think there is still a way to think."
Prisoner A said that there was an old mother in his family, and after he was caught, no one took care of him, and he would definitely starve to death.
He suggested that as soon as Criminal B arrived at the palace, he would cry out for injustice and blame all the crimes on him, saying that he had done it and had nothing to do with him, and that he would bear all the crimes.
Of course, he could not take the pot for him in vain, on the condition that if the second offender could get rid of his crime, he would serve his adoptive mother for him.
This sale, Criminal B readily agreed.
At that time, the prefect was Zhang Dingshu Shangshu (the second son of Zhang Jun, the southern Song Dynasty prime minister, leader of the anti-Jin faction, and national hero).
Mr. Zhang has always been strict, and when the prisoner arrives, he is immediately interrogated.
When I asked about Prisoner B, Prisoner B said, I really didn't kill anyone, I killed someone.
Lord Zhang was taken aback and asked him to finish his words.
Criminal B went on to say that after A killed the man, he fled, and the family did not know that A had killed him, and they usually had a conflict with me, so they thought that I had killed me, and sued me to the government office.
He also said that after he was wronged, it was not that he did not know himself, but that it was really the darkness of the official field, and that someone had taken bribes to cause him to be unjustly convicted.
Lord Zhang asked Prisoner A again, and what Criminal A confessed was exactly the same as That of Prisoner B.
Lord Zhang did not think in the slightest about colluding in confessions, and asked someone to open the shackles of criminal B and release him on the spot.
The relevant officials who tried this case before were, of course, guilty of "trespassing" (misdemeanor or improper sentencing).
From beginning to end, Mr. Zhang did not realize that he had inadvertently committed a wrong case.
Shi Zhang Dingsuo was known as the prefect of Shangshu and was known as YanMing. When the prisoner arrives, he calls out to the messenger to ask him. and B, then it is said: "So-and-so does not kill someone, and the one who kills is also A." Zhang was horrified, so that he said, "A has killed someone, and if he escapes, his family does not know that he was killed by A." On weekdays, there is a gap with a certain person, so he smells it to the official. If A kills someone, he will be arrested. A certain is not self-evident, the official is secret and the official is bribed, so the injustice cannot be directed. Zhang Yi asked A, and A was shocked by the words of Yi, who broke the weapon and broke the weapon. When A talked about death, the officials all sat down to get into atonement, and Zhang finally did not realize it.

Strictly speaking, it should be a former servant who was driven out by his master.
After investigation, the deceased's complaint was true.
But the servant was very cunning, thinking that since you would not let me go, Lao Tzu could not cheapen you, so he wanted to pour dirty water on the old lord, saying that he had had an improper relationship with the servant of the old lord.
Luo Dian sent someone to investigate, but this did not happen, so he asked the servant to confess his adultery.
The cunning fellow began to talk in great detail, in fact, he had made it up on an ad hoc basis.
Luo Dian knew this, but did not expose him, and sentenced: The servant first owed money to the master, and then raped the master's maid, although it is impossible to determine whether it is true, but this is his own account, so he should be punished with two crimes and sentenced to exile...
Luo Dian Chunbo was the governor of Pingjiang Province in Xicang, Zhejiang. Suddenly, the Lord sued his servants for owing money, and although the inquiry was true, but the servants were very evil, and they wanted to defile their lords, they tried to communicate with the Lord's gifts, and if they looked for something, there was nothing. So he ordered the servant to confess his adultery, which was very detailed, because the judgment cloud said: "The servant owes the master money and pollutes his wife." Although the existence of the matter is not known, his confession is clear, and he is convicted of adultery and is worthy of execution..."

General Bi's war horse, named "Black Worm", was unusually tall and strong, and only his master could control it, and the others did not even think about approaching it.
After General Bi's death, the family chained the horse to the back.
One day, Yue Temple greeted the gods, the golden drum sounded, from far and near, the "big black worm" heard it, thinking that the time to kill the enemy had arrived, and suddenly the spirit was energetic, looking up at the sky and hissing, breaking the chain and coming out.
The family was worried that it would hurt people, and immediately ordered more than a dozen pawns to recover it.
The family touched its head and whispered to it, "The general is dead, so don't get into trouble and trouble with our family."
The "big black worm" pricked up his ears and listened, and suddenly there were long streams of hot tears, and he made several mute noises and fell to the ground.

In the sixth year of Chunxi (1179), Wang Zuozhi Changsha, the "tea thief" Chen Feng organized a team of thousands of people, haunting the county.
The imperial court ordered Wang Zuo to lead an army to fight.
At that time, Feng Zhan, who lived in Changsha, was "requisitioned" by Wang Zuo.
The scouts soon found Chen Feng's lair, and Wang Zuo used his dinner work to send thirty outlaws, armed with short weapons, to touch the cottage where Chen Feng was located.
Behind the thirty outlaws were more than a hundred people led by Feng Zhan.
When they touched the cottage, they saw Chen Feng sitting alone with sun in his arms, and none of his subordinates were around.

Dragon Head,
I haven't gotten the power of the article.
Put the poetry book right away,
Laughter drives away dysprosium.
The golden seal will be as big as a bucket next year,

Whenever I think about this, my heart is very tired...

Put the poetry book right away, laugh and drive the front dysprosium. The golden seal will be as big as a bucket next year, and the mink cicada yuan will come out of the pocket. "Xuanzi got it, suspected to be satirizing himself, and meant quite a bit." As everyone knows, Chen Houshan also tried to use this language to send Su Shangshu zhidingzhou yun: "Reading thirty thousand volumes of ordinary life in vain, the mink cicada should sit back and sit back." "Young Ann is using this. At the time of Xuanzi Yin Jing, he tasted books and ruling clouds: "Zuo Shu was born, and the officials have their own ends, and they have not offended the Qing Council." Now it is a place where the masters and masters cannot do anything, and the gentlemen of the world are advancing one after another, except for the eyes and the passing, what kind of people in the world do they see as Zo? The tiredness of a lifetime is greater than this! ”

One year, Yang Cunzhong built a private building in The Hongfu Bridge in Qinghu Lake, which was magnificent and magnificent, and after it was built, he lived in the middle, and his sons lived next to it.
On the day of the completion, Lord Yang was specially kind: anyone can come to visit, no tickets.
Among the people who came to visit, there appeared a monk who was good at housemates, and he said that this turtle shape is also auspicious when it gains water, and it is fierce if it loses water.
At that time, Yang Cunzhong was in the highlight of his life, thinking that if he wanted the wind, he could get the wind, and if he wanted the rain, he could get the rain, so he calmly played the big boss, hoping that the big boss would approve him to "lead the lake and water around his residence".
The big boss at that time was Song Gaozong, who said that there was no opinion on the fall, but he was afraid that someone outside was gossiping, and this matter should be done quickly and confidentially.

"From the five-room courtyard, from the Huili well, winding and haunting, where hundreds of zhang"
Such a large project took only three days and three nights to complete.
Song Gaozong's expectations were not bad, and it was not long before there was a counselor who said that Lord Yang had diverted the water from the lake into his own private land without authorization, and it was obvious that this was a use of power for personal gain.
The big boss quickly gave a "reply" to the counselor's superior, first talking tirelessly about the merits of Lord Yang, and then saying that according to his merits, it was not too much to give him the entire West Lake.
He also said, not to mention that the project has been completed, don't be blind, you will be a lot of adults!

"Retreating is to supervise hundreds of soldiers, and recruit many people, night and day. Entering from the five-room courtyard, from the Huili Well, winding and haunting, where hundreds of zhang, three days and nights is completed. Soon, Taichen Guo had neglected to irrigate the lake water into the private place, in order to imitate the forbidden person of the palace. ShangXiaozhi said: "At the beginning of the southern crossing, the Jin people retreated and stolen in groups. Therefore, the strategy of the deliberator's restraint was used, and the seal was engraved. Owner, Zhihuai, Zhejiang Counties Ear. The generals will do their best to level the group of thieves, and because they swear by themselves, except for the land, all the treasury and gold will not be asked. Therefore, they will have the spare strength to pay for the fountain garden. If it is said that the merits of the thief are pacified, although they are bestowed by the West Lake, it has not been exaggerated. Moreover, this battle has been completed, but the Secretary of State will tolerate it. The speaker stopped.
