Ji An is a Confucian and a native of Puyang. First of all, it was favored by ancient Wei Jun. For Dark VII, the world is a great doctor. As a father, I wash horses for the prince when I am filial. Emperor Xiaojing collapsed, and the prince succeeded to the throne, making him modest. When East Vietnam attacks each other, it looks black. Until Wu came back, he reported: "The more people attack each other, the more vulgar they are, which is not enough to humiliate the messenger of the son of heaven." A fire broke out in Hanoi, affecting more than 1000 families, and the superiors turned a blind eye to it.
He also reported, "Don't worry about a fire at home, the house will burn. I have been to Henan. The poor people in Henan have suffered more than 10,000 floods and droughts, and father and son still eat each other. I want to take this opportunity to hold a festival in Henan to send corn to help the poor. I ask you to go back to the festival and plead guilty. " The sage released it and moved it to Xingyang. Shame is the order, and illness returns to the field. I heard that I called Bai Chinese medicine. In a few words, I won't stay long and move to the East China Sea.
If you learn from Huang Lao, you will rule the officials and the people. It is so quiet. Choose Shicheng and let it go. Its governance, responsibility refers to it, not harsh. It's dark and sick, so you can't lie in the boudoir. Years old, from Dazhi Donghai. Make a phone call. As soon as I heard it, the main one was a captain, listed in Jiuqing. Governing the country is inaction, broad-minded and informal.
Darkness is human nature, and it is difficult to be polite and save face. People who agree with themselves are kind to them, people who disagree with them can't bear to see them, and scholars are indifferent to them. However, I am studious, a ranger, a loyal minister, an expert in repair, and a good remonstrator. I often admire Fu Bai and Yuan Ang. Shan and Zheng Dangshi were abandoned by Liu. With some advice, I can't stay long.
At that time, Wu 'an Hou Hao, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager, was the Prime Minister, and he came to offer his condolences with two thousand stones, which was not a gift. However, when I saw it in the dark, I never worshipped it. I often bowed to it. When Emperor Tiandi recruited literary Confucian scholars, he said, "I want to be so happy." He said to me, "Your Majesty wants to be benevolent. How can he help Tang Yu?" Silence, anger, discoloration and strike. Or all of them are dark fears.
He stepped up and retired, saying, "What a pity for Ji An!" The ministers were full of gloom, saying, "The son of heaven, assisted by officials and ministers, would rather go with the flow and be unjust." And he is already in his position, and he loves his body. Why did you insult the court? "
Black and sick, sick for three months, the number of people in the world who are often told that they will not recover. Finally, I got sick, which Zhu Zhuang asked for. The master said, "What about Ji An?" Fu Shuo: "No one can surpass me as an official. But when it comes to assisting the young master, he is deeply worried about guarding the city and can't recruit. Even if he doesn't go, he can't take it away. " He said, "Of course. In ancient times, there was a minister of a country, and the sky was dark. "
The general among the young attendants watched it from the toilet. The Prime Minister Hongyan saw it, but it was not crowned. As black as watching, I don't look without a crown. On the taste of sitting in a military tent, the prelude to darkness is not crowned, so avoid it when you see it, and let people perform it when you see it. Such a salute.
Zhang changed the law to Tingwei and silently criticized Tang. He said: "The public is a man of benevolence and righteousness. We should not praise the achievements of the first emperors in the world, suppress the evil spirits of the world, enrich the country and enrich the people, and be empty. Neither of them is true. As long as it is not bitter. Why not use the high emperor to restrain the dispute? There are no seeds for the public. "
When it was dark, I argued with Tang, and Tang's arguments were often harsh and harsh. When it was dark, I kept my head high and couldn't bend down. I angrily rebuked, "the world says that knife and pencil officials can't be public officials, and it happens." It must be soup, let the world stand up and see! "
At that time, the Han side recruited the Huns and four foreigners. In the dark, there were few things, and they occupied the room. As the saying goes, there are no soldiers near Hu. In the direction of Confucianism, to GongSunHong. There are many advantages, and both the government and the people are clever. In grammar, soup, etc. You can make a lucky decision.
However, darkness often destroys Confucianism, and those who touch Hong's face are cunning and clever, and they use the knife to be clever and frivolous, trapping people in sin, so that they can't reverse right and wrong and win with merit. Hong and Tang are becoming more and more expensive in the world. Hong and Tang were very ill, but the son of heaven didn't say anything to punish them. Hong is the prime minister, but he said: "There are many aristocratic clans in the right internal history, which is difficult to treat. You can't be appointed unless you are the prime minister. Please move to the right. " For a few years old, the right literature and history, the official business is not abolished.
The general's youth is conducive to respect. His sister is a queen, but he is dark and humble. People may say, "Since the son of heaven wants the minister to be a general, the respect of the general is even more valuable, so we have to worship." He said to himself, "I have a guest with the general, and I don't care about evil." When the general heard these words, he became more noble. I wonder what the national court suspects. His life is too dark.
King Huainan rebelled and was afraid of the dark. He said, "It's a hard decision. Just like saying that the Prime Minister is Hong, it is like being shocked. " The son of heaven made several contributions to the Huns, but it was useless to talk in secret.
Originally listed as Jiuqing, GongSunHong and Zhang Tang were beadle. Harmony and soup are a little more expensive, and they are in the same position as darkness, which does not destroy harmony and soup. Until the prime minister, seal hou; Soup to the ancient doctor; Therefore, the history of the prime minister in darkness is listed with darkness, or he used it. I can't help looking forward to it. As soon as I saw it, the preface said, "Your Majesty takes the minister as his salary, and the latecomers come from behind." Keep quiet. For a moment, the master said, "People can't do it without learning, and the gloomy words are getting worse."
Anyway, Hunhun Evil King led the people to surrender, and Han Qi took twenty thousand troops. The county magistrate has no money and comes from the people. Man or kurama, you can't have a horse. Anger, want to cut changan order. Yan said, "Chang 'an has been acquitted, and the people are willing to leave. Moreover, the Huns were surrendered to the Han Dynasty by their masters, and Han Xuchuan spread to counties. Why stir up the world and stop those who harm China and destroy Germany? "Keep silent. And muddy evil, Jia people and the city, sitting for the dead more than 500 people.
When he met Gao Men in the dark, he said, "Husband and Xiongnu attacked the road jam and refused to kiss. China formed an army to punish them. There were countless casualties and thousands of dollars lost. I foolishly thought that your majesty's conference semifinals thought that handmaiden would give it to the families of those who died in the army. What you get, you give it to thank the suffering of the world and block people's hearts. Today, if we can't, tens of thousands of people will come to surrender, they will be rewarded by the virtual treasury, and they will be taken care of by good people.
An Zhi fools buy things in Chang 'an, but scholars think it has something to do with property. Your majesty couldn't get the Xiongnu's money to thank the world, so he killed more than 500 ignorant people with micro-prose. As the saying goes,' protect its leaves and hurt its branches', I secretly refused to take it for your majesty. "He silently forbade, saying," I've heard Ji An's words for a long time, and now I'm making mistakes. "In the next few months, if you sit in the small law, you will pardon the official. Hidden in the darkness of the countryside.
It costs five baht more to live for a few years, and the people steal more money, especially Chu. He thought that Huaiyang, a suburb of Chu, called Baian the satrap of Huaiyang. Dark Fu Xie does not print, the number of letters is strong, and then convinced. The imperial edict summoned Yin, who cried, "I thought I would never see your majesty again after filling the ravine, but I didn't expect your majesty to use it again. I often hate dogs and horses, so I can't be a county magistrate. I am willing to be a lieutenant, go in and out of the Forbidden City, and make up ten legacies. "
Say, "Are you thinking about the evil of Huaiyang? I called you today. Gu Huaiyang's officials and people are at odds, but I only have the weight of the monarch, and I will rule it by lying down. " After saying goodbye, Chen said, "Chen abandoned the county and could not discuss it with the court." Zhang, an ancient literati, was enough to refuse remonstrance, cheat and falsify, be clever enough to argue a few words, but refused to speak for the world and specialize in thought. The idea is not what you want, so it is destroyed; The idea is what it wants, so it is praised.
He likes to fan the flames and dance grammar. He cheats inside to control his master's heart, while thieves and officials outside take it seriously. If you don't say it early, you will be affected by it. "Fear of soup, eventually dare not speak. Living in the county as usual, Huaiyang is clean. After Zhang's defeat, he heard the words of gloom and benefit, which is the crime of benefit. Lin 'an lived in Huaiyang and was made a vassal. He died at the age of seven.
After his death, he was unhappy. His brother Renji went to Jiuqing, and his son Ji Yan went to the vassal phase. An aunt's sisters Sima An and Shao Yan washed the horse for the prince. An Wen is a skilled official, with four to nine officials. He is the magistrate of Henan. Brother Kun died safely, and ten people went to two thousand stones at the same time. Hou Xin was established in Duan Hong, Puyang, and he trusted Hong, who went to Jiuqing again. However, defenders and officials are all afraid of Ji An.
Zheng Dangshi, Zizhuang, Chen Ye. First of all, Jun Zheng got a taste of General Ji Xiang. If you die, you are Han's. High-impedance has made all the names of Ji Xiang ministers, and none of Jun Zheng has served alone. The letter to the best admirer is the doctor, and Jun Zheng is exiled. Jun Zheng died in filial piety.
Zheng Zhuang was proud of Ren Xia, took off Zhang Yuee, and heard about Liang Chu. Out of filial piety, he laid down his life for the prince. Take a bath every five days, and often set up post horses in the suburbs of Chang 'an to save old friends. Please thank the guests day and night until dawn, which is often endless.
Zhuang shan's words of Huang Lao are afraid of not seeing the old man and thinking about it. Young officials are thin, but their friends and acquaintances are great fathers and world celebrities. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was founded, Zhuang slightly moved to Lu, Jinan and Jiangdu, and Jiuqing was the right literature and history. Hou Wu 'an and Wei discussed at that time, demoted to Zhan's and moved to Da Nong's order.
Zhuang, as a teacher, warned, "If you are a guest, no one will stay at home." Hold the ceremony of the host and guest, and treat the servant with courtesy.
Zhuang Lian, who failed to govern his industry, gave it to the princes. However, it feeds people, but it counts as food. In every dynasty, between waiting, it is said that there is no need to talk about the elders in the world.
His superiors and officials are honest and sincere, and he often thinks he is moral. I have never been a famous official, for fear of hurting it. When you hear people's good words, you should walk in front of them so as not to fall behind them. Shandong scholar-officials called it Zheng Zhuang.
Ambassador Zheng Zhuang decided to rule the river for five days. Then he said: "I heard that' Zheng Zhuanghang, thousands of miles away, can't get food'. What can you do to cure travelers? " However, when Zheng Zhuang was in North Korea, he tended to be conciliatory and did not dare to criticize him. On the night of the festival, the Han Dynasty recruited the Huns and four foreigners, which caused great chaos and made money profitable. Zhuang Ren's guests are all big farmers, and they have a great burden. Sima An was the satrap of Huaiyang and made a mistake. Zhuang was convicted and redeemed. It has maintained a long history for a long time. I thought I was old and regarded Zhuang as the satrap of Runan. A few years old, an official.
And Ji An are listed as "Nine Secretaries", "Companies" and "Training Experts". These two people are useless. The family is poor and the guests are good. And living in the county seat, there is no surplus wealth after death. The descendants of the Zhuang brothers died in Zhuang, with 2,167 people.
Taishi Gong said: A husband can withdraw money from Zheng Zhixian, and if he has power, he will have ten times as many guests. If he has no power, he won't, and everyone will be in trouble! Zhai Zhai Gong character, beginning Zhai Gong as Ting Wei, guests Kan door; And waste, you can set sparrows outside the door. Zhai Gong was reinstated as Ting Wei, and the guests wanted to go. Zhai Gong, the general manager, said, "Friendship is known only after death. Poverty and wealth are a state of knowing each other. One is expensive and the other is embarrassing, and friendship is visible. " Ji, Zheng, sad husband!
Translation:
Ji 'an was born in Puyang County. His ancestors were favored by ancient Wang Wei. By the time of his seventh generation, several generations in North Korea were honored as Dr. Qing He. My father recommended me that when I was filial to Jingdi, Ji An became a prince to wash horses, and was revered for his solemnity.
After the death of Emperor Jing, the Prince succeeded to the throne and appointed him as a courtier. The Fujian-Vietnamese people in East Vietnam fought against the Ou-Vietnamese people, and the emperor sent Ji An to inspect them. Before he arrived in Dongyue, he returned to Wuxian and reported, "Dongyue people are attacking each other, and the local folk customs are aggressive, which is not worth bothering the emperor's envoys." A fire broke out in Hanoi County, burning more than 1000 families. The emperor sent Ji An to inspect it.
He came back and reported: "The people there accidentally caught fire. Because the houses are dense and the fire is spreading, there is no need to worry. When passing through Henan county, I saw that the local poor people suffered from floods and droughts, and there were more than 10 thousand victims. Some of them even have dinner with their fathers and sons. I used my Jeff to order the distribution of the grain stored in the official warehouse of Henan County to help the local victims. I'm here today to ask Jeff to return it, for the crime of falsely spreading the imperial edict. "
The emperor thought Ji An was virtuous, so he was not guilty and was transferred to Xingyang county magistrate. Ji An thought he was humiliated when he became a county magistrate, so he resigned and went home. When the emperor heard the news, he told Ji An to be a Chinese doctor. Because of his outspoken advice to the emperor many times, he was still not allowed to stay in North Korea for a long time and was released as the magistrate of Donghai County.
Ji An worships Taoism, manages government affairs and deals with civil affairs, likes quiet and few things, and entrusts everything to the competent county magistrate and book history he chooses. He manages the affairs of the county, but only supervises his subordinates to act according to the principle, and is not demanding details. He is sickly and often lies in the bedroom and stays indoors.
Over the past year or so, Donghai County has been very clear and peaceful, and people speak highly of him. When the emperor learned of this, he called Ji An back to Beijing to be the Lord and a surname, and he was compared with Jiuqing. He tried to govern politics by doing nothing, emphasizing its main points rather than obeying the law. Ji An is arrogant in dealing with people, does not pay attention to etiquette, contradicts people face to face, and does not tolerate other people's faults.
People with similar interests are close and friendly; Those who disagree with themselves are impatient to meet each other, so don't hold him. But Ji An is studious, brave and chivalrous, and pays great attention to ambition and moral integrity. Living at home on weekdays, my personality is beautiful and pure; When he entered the DPRK, he liked to speak out and give advice. He repeatedly offended the emperor's face and often admired Fu Bai and Yuan Ang. He made friends, Zheng Dangshi and Liu Abandoned. Because of repeated direct warnings, they can't stay in their official positions for a long time.
Just when Ji An was appointed as the chief and a surname, and ranked among the Nine Qing, Dou Taihou's younger brother Wu 'an Hou Tianfen became the prime minister. Senior officials with an annual salary of 2000 stone all bow when they come to see him, but Tian fen refuses to reciprocate. Ji An never bowed down when he sought audience with Tian Fen, but often bowed to him.
At this time, the emperor is recruiting talents, recruiting talents, and saying what I want. Ji An replied, "Your Majesty has many desires in his heart, and on the surface, he only practices righteousness. How can he really imitate the achievements of Tang Yao and Yu Shun! " The emperor was silent, angry in his heart, and his face changed, so he went to court, and ministers were worried that Ji An had panicked.
After the emperor retired from the DPRK, he said to the ministers around him, "It's too much, Ji An is so stupid!" Some ministers blamed Ji An, and Ji An said: "Is it that the emperor set up officials and set up officials to assist him, so that he can be obedient and flattering, and put the monarch in a dilemma of violating the right path?" ? What's more, I have been in the position of Jiuqing. Even if you cherish your life, what can you do to damage the state affairs! "
Ji An is ill. He has been ill for three months. The emperor allowed him to take vacations for illness many times, but his illness never recovered. Last time he was seriously ill, Zhu Zhuang asked for leave for him. The emperor asked, "What about Ji An?" Zhu Zhuang said, "It's no big deal for Ji An to be an official and a deacon. But he can help the young monarch, stick to his established career, lure him away with interests and drive him away with threats. Even if someone claims to be as brave as Meng Ben and Yu Xia, he cannot regret his ambition. "
The emperor said, "Yes. In ancient times, loyal ministers were called to protect the country, such as Ji An, which was very similar to them. "
General Wei Qing entered the Stone Palace, and the emperor once squatted in the toilet to meet him. The prime minister's palace usually asks for an audience, and the emperor sometimes doesn't even wear a hat. As for Ji An's visit, the emperor won't receive him without a hat. The emperor used to sit in a grand chancellorship, which coincided with Ji An's coming here to start his official business. The emperor did not wear a hat. When he saw it, he quickly hid in the tent and sent servants to approve his memorial. Ji An was respected and treated by the emperor to this extent.
Zhang made Ting Wei and Ji An repeatedly question and accuse Zhang Tang in front of the emperor by changing the laws and regulations in the criminal law, saying, "You are an official, but you can't carry forward the achievements of the former emperors, let alone curb the evil desires of the world. You got nothing in two aspects: protecting the country and enriching the people, leaving the prison empty.
On the contrary, you try your best to do something wrong and break laws and regulations to achieve your career. What's more, how dare you change the rules set by Emperor Gaozu? If you do this, you will have no children. "
Ji An often argues with Zhang Tang. When Zhang Tang debates, he always delves into the articles and asks for details. Ji An, on the other hand, is outspoken, serious, ambitious and unwilling to give in. He angrily scolded Zhang Tang and said, "Everyone says that an official with a knife and pencil should never be placed in the position of an official or a minister. It is true. If you have to act according to Zhang Tang's law, you will make the whole world stand with your feet together and dare not step, and your eyes dare not look straight! "
At this time, the Han dynasty was conquering the Huns and appealing to ethnic minorities everywhere. Ji An tried his best to save the country, often taking the opportunity to persuade the emperor to make friends with the conference semifinals instead of waging war. The emperor devoted himself to Confucianism and respected Sun Hong, which showed no concern.
When domestic troubles and foreign invasion occurred, lower-level officials and outlaws tried to evade legal sanctions, so the emperor had to strictly abide by different laws and disciplines. Zhang Tang and others kept broadcasting important cases of trial to win the favor of the emperor.
Ji An, on the other hand, often denigrates Confucianism and attacks Gong and others face to face for cheating inside and being clever outside in order to win the favor of flatterers. Knife-and-pencil collectors dig deep into the law, slandering others and framing them as guilty, so that the truth can't be revealed. Taking prison as the capital for credit, the emperor relies more and more on Gong and Zhang Tang, while Gong and Zhang Tang hate Ji An, even the emperor doesn't like him and wants to kill him as an excuse.
When the palace became prime minister, it suggested to the emperor: "There are many dignitaries and royal relatives living in the management circle of the internal history of the son of heaven, which is difficult to manage. It is not that a prestigious minister cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility. Please turn Ji' an into the right civil history. " Ji An has been a civil servant for several years, and his administration has always been in good order, and he has never neglected his work.
General Wei Qing has become more and more distinguished, and his sister Wei Zifu has become the queen, but Ji An still pays equal respect to him. Ji An was advised to say, "From the Emperor, I wanted my ministers to live under the generals. Now the general is respected and valued by the emperor, and his position is more noble. You have to bow your head. "
Ji An replied: "Because the general has guests who salute him, does it make him rude?" The general thought Ji An was more virtuous after hearing what he said. Ask him many times about the difficulties of his country and North Korea, and treat him better than anyone he has always made friends with.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, conspired to rebel and was afraid of Ji An. He said, "Ji An loves to speak frankly and would rather die for justice. It is difficult to seduce him with improper things. As for lobbying Prime Minister Gong, it is as easy as uncovering the lid or shaking off the fallen leaves. "
Nowadays, the emperor has conquered the Huns for many times and made great achievements. If Ji An advocates getting close to the conference semifinals without expedition, he won't listen.
When enjoying the treatment of Jiuqing in Ji An, GongSunHong and Zhang Tang were just ordinary officials. Wait until GongSunHong, Zhang Tang increasingly dignitaries, and Ji An in high places, Ji An and blame them. Soon, he was promoted to prime minister and was named Hou; Zhang Tang official to ancient scholar; In the past, Ji An's military success and comfort were on the same level as Ji An's, and some of them were reused, even surpassing him.
Ji An is narrow-minded and impetuous, so it is impossible not to complain. He appeared in front of the emperor and said, "Your majesty uses his officials as a pile of firewood, and later people pile them on it." The emperor was silent. After a period of time, Ji An retired, and the emperor said, "One really can't live without knowledge. Looking at Ji An's words, his stupidity is getting more and more serious. "
Soon after, the evil king of Xiongnu led his troops to surrender to Han, and the court recruited 20 thousand vehicles to pick them up. When the government has no money, it borrows horses from the people. Some people hide horses, but they can't get together. The emperor was furious and wanted to kill Chang 'an county magistrate. Ji An said, "Chang 'an County magistrate is not guilty. As long as he kills me, the people will give their horses.
Moreover, the Xiongnu generals betrayed the monarch and surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the court could slowly ask the counties and counties along the way to prepare their chariots and horses to take them back in order. Why drag the whole country into trouble and let our people work hard to serve those Xiongnu soldiers? "The emperor was silent. When the evil king of Xiongnu led his army, more than 500 businessmen had been sentenced to death for doing business with Xiongnu.
Ji An was invited for an interview and met the emperor in the Gaomen Hall of Weiyang Palace. He said: "The Huns attacked our gateway on the main road and cut off friendly relations with their relatives. Our country sent troops to conquer them, causing countless casualties on the battlefield and spending tens of billions.
For a moment, I was confused and thought that your majesty would give the Huns to the family members who died in the army as handmaiden, and give them the seized property to thank everyone for their hard work and satisfy the wishes of the people. Even if we can't do this now, and the evil king leads tens of thousands of people to mutiny, he shouldn't give them all the property of the official treasury, recruit honest people to serve them, and hold them like a treasure.
Ignorant people know that letting Huns buy goods in Chang 'an will be convicted by law enforcement officers obsessed with legal provisions as illegal smuggling of property out of customs? Your majesty will kill more than 500 ignorant people with harsh laws even if he can't take the Xiongnu materials to comfort the world. This is the so-called practice of' protecting leaves and damaging branches'. Personally, I don't think your majesty's move is advisable. "
The emperor was silent and disapproved. Then he said, "I haven't heard anything from Ji An for a long time, and I'm talking nonsense again today."
A few months later, Ji An was convicted of a misdemeanor, which coincided with the emperor's amnesty. He was just removed from office. So Ji An retired to the countryside. After a few years, the state changed to casting five baht, and many people privately cast coins, especially Chu. The emperor thought Huaiyang County was the main road to Chu, so he called Ji An the satrap of Huaiyang County. Ji An prostrated himself on the imperial edict of politely declining and refused to accept the seal. The emperor forced him to do so many times with imperial edicts, and he was saved.
The emperor summoned Ji An by imperial edict, and Ji An cried and said to the emperor, "I thought there was nothing left after my death, and I would never see your majesty again. I didn't expect your majesty to accept me again. Often sick dogs and horses, physical strength can not reach the trouble of being a satrap. I hope that Nakaro will go in and out of the palace gate, correct your mistakes and make up the gap. This is my wish. "
The emperor said, "don't you look down on the position of Huaiyang county magistrate?" I'll call you back later. Due to the tense relationship between the local officials and the people in Huaiyang, I have to rely on your prestige and ask you to lie at home and govern the country. " After bidding farewell to the emperor, Ji An went to visit the great official Li Xi. He said: "I was abandoned in a foreign county, so I can't participate in the court's deliberation."
And Zhang Tang, an ancient adviser, was clever enough to stop others' criticism and deceived himself into polishing his mistakes. He refuted critical words with clever flattering words, refused to always speak correctly for the whole world, and devoted himself to catering to the Lord's wishes. If the emperor doesn't want it, he will vilify it at will; Praise what the emperor wants.
He likes to make much ado about nothing and fiddle with laws and regulations. In North Korea, he deeply cheated to satisfy the emperor's will, and he threatened officials who endangered society to strengthen his power. You are in Jiuzhong. If you don't talk to the emperor as soon as possible, you and he will both be killed. "
Li Xi was afraid of Zhang Tang and didn't dare to remonstrate with the emperor. Ji An manages county affairs as usual, and the political situation in Huaiyang County is clear. Later, Zhang Tang was destroyed. When the emperor knew what Ji An said to Li Xi, he decided that Li Xi was guilty and ordered Ji An to enjoy the salary of the vassal and still be in charge of Huaiyang County. Ji An died seven years later.
After the death of Ji An, the emperor sent his younger brother to Jiuqing and his son to various vassal states because of Ji An. When Aunt Ji An's son Sima An was young, he also washed horses for the Prince with Ji An. He is good at playing with legal provisions and being an official. Nine official positions, died in Henan County. Because of him, his ten brothers were appointed to two thousand stone posts at the same time.
Puyang people have served as letters, recommendations and twice as officials in Jiuqing. However, all the officials in Puyang are in awe of Ji An and are willing to live under his command.
Zheng Zhuang took pleasure in saving Zhang Yu from danger, and his reputation spread throughout Liang Chu. When honoring Emperor Jing, he is a prince. Every five-day holiday, he often goes to the suburbs of Chang 'an to buy horses, visit old friends by riding, invite guests to thank him, stay up all night, and always worry about omissions.
Zheng Zhuang loves Taoism and worships the elderly, just as he is afraid of not meeting others. He is young and humble, but his friends are all from his grandfather's generation, and they are all world-famous figures. After Liang Wudi acceded to the throne, he rose step by step from the satrap of Lu and Jinan Group and the prime minister of Jiangdu to Jiuqing of Youwen. Because of his improper opinions on the dispute between Hou Tianfen of Wu 'an and Dou Ying of Wei Qihou, he was demoted to Zhan's and transferred to Da Nong.
When Zheng Zhuang wrote an official history, he warned his subordinate officials: "Visitors, regardless of their rank, are not allowed to wait at the door." He respects the host's hospitality and ranks below the guests in his noble status. Zheng Zhuang was honest and didn't get any private property. It only provides official salaries and rewards to elderly friends, and the gifts are just some food filled with bamboo utensils.
Every time he goes to court, whenever he has the opportunity to give advice to the emperor, he will praise the old and respected people in the world. He recommended truly interested scholars and his subordinate officials Cheng Heshi, and often said that they were more talented than themselves. He never calls officials by their first names. When talking with subordinates, he seems very modest, as if afraid of hurting each other. When you hear other people's opinions, you should report to the emperor immediately for fear of delaying major events.
Therefore, scholars and famous elders in the vast area east of Yaoshan praised his virtue with one voice.
Zheng Zhuang was sent to check the gap in the Yellow River. He asked for five days to prepare his luggage. The emperor said, "I heard that Zheng Zhuang traveled thousands of miles without food." Why do you need time to prepare your luggage? " Zheng Zhuang's popularity abroad is good, but in North Korea, he often agrees and obeys the will of the Lord, and dare not express his views on right and wrong too clearly. By the end of his life, the Han Dynasty had conquered the Huns and appealed to ethnic minorities all over the country, which cost a lot of money and material resources.
Zheng's people and their guests owe a lot of money to undertake the transportation of Da Nong Ling. Sima An was appointed as the prefect of Huaiyang County and reported this matter, so Zheng Zhuang was guilty and was demoted to a civilian after atonement. Soon, he entered the position of the temporary prime minister's office. The emperor thought he was old and made him a magistrate of Runan County. A few years later, he died in the office.
Zheng Zhuang and Ji An are among the best in the Nine Grades. They are incorruptible in politics and have a pure family style on weekdays. Both of them were dismissed from office halfway, and their families were poor, and their guests were gradually declining.
When he became a county magistrate, there was nothing left at home after his death. Because of Zheng Zhuang's brothers and descendants, there are as many as six or seven people who own two thousand stones. Tai Shigong said: Because Ji An and Zheng Dangshi are so virtuous, when they are strong, they have ten times as many guests. When they are not strong, the situation is completely opposite.
