Li Qiao, a Zanhuang native of Zhaozhou, was the great-grandson of Cao Yuan, assistant minister of Sui Dynasty. Generation surname, father town evil, Xiangcheng order. I was lonely a long time ago, and my mother was very filial. When I was a child, I dreamed of the double pens left by God and man, so I gradually learned. A weak crown is a scholar, and it is tiring to supervise the empire. When the leaders of Lingnan Yong and Yan rebelled, they sent troops to attack and ordered Jiao to supervise the army. Ba Nai declared the court, pardoned his sin, and invited him into the cave. Due to the strike, the rebels surrendered and returned, which was highly praised by Emperor Gaozong. Reluctantly moved by this matter. When cruel officials came to frame Di, Li Simiao and Pei, they invited Angel Jiao, Dali Deyu and Shi Xian to punish them, but their prisons were covered up. Although Deyu and others knew it was abolished and feared its crime, they said from the words of the handsome minister, "How can we know it was abolished without declaring it?" Confucius said,' If you don't act according to righteousness, you will be brave.' "But with DE yu, etc. , is waste, so it is imperial edict, is runzhou syma. Zhao Jin, transferred to Fengge Scheeren. Japanese deeply, every time the court has a big hand, it specially orders people to do it.
Right at the beginning of the censorate, tour according to the world, the thin gain and loss yue:
Your majesty built the right platform and toured the world, observing the good and evil of officials, the gains and losses of customs, the discipline of political affairs and the rules of etiquette and law are hard to see. But there are still some uncompromising people, please discuss them. The procedure of husband prohibition is still sparse, the law should be simple, the simple law is easy but not complicated, and it is broad and not harsh. I overheard 44 subjects played by various inspectors in the past two years, and more than 30 subjects were not allowed to visit. The patrol rate is that he left the capital in March and finished his work in 1 1 month. Time is pressing, the book is filled out, and he is rushing for the deadline day and night. There are as many as 2,000 civil and military officials checking each road, and as few as 1000 people have gone down. They all need quality, praise and criticize gains and losses, and if you want to make the song to the extreme, you will be at a loss. This is not that I dare not resign, slower than an official, but that I am limited and powerless. I hope to measure its progress, not control it, let the device be used around, and use the force in time, so as to guide the advance and retreat and refine the gains and losses.
Say it again:
Today's inspection, but six quasi-Chinese articles, by extension, all-encompassing. Do not do many subjects, empty books. Besides, the imperial court is full of opportunities, and it is always moving in all directions, so the crown faces each other and the column follows the heel. Now that the tour ambassador is gone, it will be greatly reduced if you know that other foreign affairs are entrusted to it. It's just a suggested position, so I'm not idle. Since there is no state division, there is no way to help it handle complicated affairs. There are big and small, and the ten-state rate is a suggestion. Limited to the anniversary, let their relatives go to the county, or to the village, supervise the rape and observe the customs, and then seek practical results and teach successfully. If this law comes into effect, it will greatly benefit politics. Moreover, the suggestions were published in first frost bamboo slips and played in Tianque. Its self-study has been encouraged and its status has been preserved. Compared with other officials, it can be several hundred. If it is illegal and untrue, it can be compared with other officials. Your majesty tries to use the words of the minister to select talents wisely and entrust his heart to him. If you control him with false words, and Chen rewards and punishes him, you will fight for your life. Why ignore political affairs, why ban them, and why Uber dares?
Then heaven is good. Therefore, the world is divided into twenty ways, and Jane can be the messenger. There will be depressed people, but they can't. Find out the assistant minister of Tianguan and move to Lintai Shaodu.
At the beginning of the holy calendar, Yao Chong and I moved to Fengge Luantai to discuss peace, and Russia changed Luantai to assistant minister, still discussing peace and repairing national history. For a long time, in the first year, my uncle and assistant minister Zhang Xi studied politics, and I became a wine festival, so I stopped studying politics and history, making people proud. In order to find a school, Wenchang Zuocheng and Du Dong stayed. After three years in Chang 'an, Jiao Fu returned to this official to make peace and find out what he said. Next year, turn to civil history. After Ba's death, he resigned from the drama and later worshipped Cheng Jun as a libation. This matter remains unchanged.
In the last years of Chang 'an, Heaven will build a statue in Baisiban to remonstrate it. To put it simply: "I use Wang Zhien, the protection of Bodhisattva, and I only want to benefit all beings, so I have to build civil works. The gift is appropriate, the tax is not registered permanent residence, and the money is for monks and nuns. Not only the counties may bear the burden, but the economy is also impossible to do, so it is necessary to avoid the heavy! There are many families and many poor people in the world. There are also maids who provide food and houses for sale to serve the king. A statue with170,000 money. If it is distributed, it will help the poor, and there will be170,000 households. Save the disadvantages of hunger and cold, save the suffering and difficulties, be merciful to the Buddhas and touch the meaning of the sage pavilion. People are happy with the gods, and their merits are boundless. " I can't stand it.
Zhongzong acceded to the throne, and Jiao was attached to his brother, which was the secretariat of Yuzhou. Failing to do so, he was demoted to Tongzhou secretariat. A few months, I visited the assistant minister of the official department, who was named Zanhuang County Public. Be an official, move to the official department, and enter the county. In the second year of Shenlong, Wei Anshi was appointed as the secretariat. When he was in the official department, he wanted to be selfish. There are thousands of foreign officials in Kidd's residence. Even if the bureaucracy doubles and the national treasury reduces consumption, it will take the blame and resign, which is of great interest to Chen Shiyu. Zhongzong made a long speech about the loss of current politics, so he needed to be removed, but he refused to allow it and sought to restore his old post. In three years, he added a bachelor's degree in Xiuwen Museum, supervised the revision of national history, and sealed Zhao Guogong. Jinglong three years, the suspension of the book order, the Ministry of Defence history, the three books, unique progress.
Zong Rui acceded to the throne, the secretariat for huaizhou secretariat, looking for an old official. When Zhongzong collapsed, please get rid of Wang Xiang scholars and don't let them stay in Beijing. Xuanzong practiced it, and he got his watch in the palace and showed it to the courtiers. Or ask for punishment, minister Zhang said: "Although Pakistan did not argue against it, it was still a plan at that time, and the dog barking was not its owner and could not be punished." It can be seen from the above: "when you are in danger, you will stay the same." If you are a minister, you will be loyal if you are not forgiven. Special progress, Zhao Guogong Li Qiao, went to Yuan Zong and Wei Yan rebelled. I'm ready for reconciliation, and when I bow, my fate comes back. I caught a glimpse of the north, but I didn't know how to fight it. It looked like a scam. I looked at it myself. I was tired of living in Taiwan Province because I resigned early, which hindered Mo Yan and covered up his sins. Today, loyalty and evil are clearly defined, and things are different. Rewards and punishments are good, can people be persuaded? Although he was pardoned, he might as well let go of his old illness and cherish the rest of his life. It is better to listen to Zi Qian's words and go to his post. " Find someone to die for Luzhou. There are fifty volumes in the anthology.
Translation:
Li Qiao, a Zanhuang in Zhaozhou, is the great-grandson of the epic Langcaoyuan in the Sui Dynasty. Generations have been noble families, and his father, Li Zhen, has done many evils and served as the order of Xiangcheng.
Li Qiao lost his father in his early years and was famous for his filial piety to his mother. When he was a child, he dreamed that the man of God gave him a pair of pens, and his study gradually improved. At the age of 20, he took the Jinshi exam and was transferred to the censor several times. At that time, the leaders of Lingnan Yong and Yan rebelled, and the court sent troops to crusade, and Emperor Gaozong ordered Li Jue to supervise the army. Li Qiao announced the imperial edict, pardoned their crimes, and personally entered the Liao cave to summon and report. Li Jue withdrew his troops and surrendered, which won the appreciation of Emperor Gaozong. Li Qiao was promoted to this position several times. At that time, brutal officials came to Jun Chen to frame Di Renjie, Li Sizhen and Pei and demanded that they be put to death. Wu Zetian ordered Li Jue to try the case with Dali Deyu and Shi Xian. Although Zhang Deyu and others knew that they had been wronged, they were afraid of being convicted and believed Lai Junchen's fake play. Li Qiao said: "Is it reasonable to know the innocent victims but not affirm them?" ! Confucius said:' If you don't do the right thing, you will have no courage. ",and Zhang Deyu column Syria grievances, thus broken, for runzhou syma. The emperor also issued an imperial decree, and Li Qiao entered the DPRK and was appointed as the new phoenix pavilion. Wu Zetian values him very much. Whenever there was an important imperial edict, she ordered Li Qiao to write it.
At that time, I began to set up the right censorate to tour the world, and Li Qiao made a statement about his gains and losses:
Your majesty set up a right platform to patrol the world, observe the good and evil of officials, and know the gains and losses of customs. This is the discipline of politics and the criterion of etiquette. There's nothing better. However, there are still places that have not hit the point, and I request to try to discuss. Generally speaking, prohibition advocates sparseness and laws should be simple. Simple method is easy to implement without triviality, while sparse method is broad without triviality. Privately, I see that there are 44 subjects reported by supervisors in Diaojiaolou in the past two years, and there are more than 30 other subjects inspected by decree. Inspectors usually leave Kyoto after March, and the performance ends on 1 1 month. Time is pressing and documents are piling up. He works day and night. There are as many as 2,000 civil and military officials visiting each road as 1000, so it is necessary to measure them and evaluate their gains and losses. I want them to seriously and comprehensively examine the moral ability of officials, but I don't have enough time. This is not that they dare to slack off their duties and neglect their duties, but that their talents are limited and their energy is insufficient. I hope to measure the inspectors' working ability and time limit first, and then give them tasks, so that their talents can be brought into full play and their abilities can be helpful at that time. Then I will supervise them to complete the task of advancing and retreating officials and assess the gains and losses of officials' work in detail. Li Qiao added:
At present, the subjects inspected by officials are all-encompassing, as long as the six Chinese articles prevail, there is no need to set up more subjects and waste documents. Besides, the court is busy with everything, and it is not idle. The direction of political affairs is often in all directions, so there are constant post stations between envoys. Since the governor has been sent, all out-of-state affairs should be handed over to the governor, which can greatly reduce the number of posts. However, the position of suggestions and history cannot be free in the first place, and it is impossible to complete its heavy affairs if it is not for the division of the country. The size of the request should be considered by each other. About every ten states should set up a censor for one year, and let him personally go down to the county, and sometimes even go deep into folk alleys to supervise treachery, observe local conditions and customs, and then assess his political achievements according to actual work. If this law is really implemented, it will certainly be very beneficial to political education. Moreover, compared with other officials in the imperial court, Yushi can encourage self-cultivation and defend laws and regulations. If compared with other officials, we can take one thing for ten in examining impeachment and exposing fraud. Your majesty might as well try the suggestions of ministers, carefully select talents, entrust them with important tasks by trusted ministers, train them with considerate and soothing words, and encourage them with rewards and punishments, so they all try their best to serve the country with their lives. What other political affairs can't be cured, what prohibitions can't be enforced, and what Uber dares to make waves?
Wu Zetian agreed with this, so she ordered to divide the world into 20 roads and select competent officials as inspectors. It happened that someone slandered and stopped it, but it failed to be implemented. Soon, Li Jiao presided over the affairs of Tianguan Assistant Minister and was promoted to Lieutenant Lin Tai.
In the early years of the holy calendar, Li Qiao and Yao Chong were promoted to Pingzhang with Fengge and Luantai, and were appointed as assistant ministers of Luantai soon, and they still served as Pingzhang to study national history. In the first year of the Ninth Dynasty, Zhang Xi, an uncle of Li Jue, entered the DPRK to study politics. Li Jue was appointed as Cheng Jun to offer a drink, and his uncles and nephews were successively appointed as prime ministers, which was praised by people at that time. Li Qiao quickly corrected Wenchang Zuocheng and Ren's statement. After three years in Chang 'an, Li Qiao made peace with the official again and soon learned about it. In the second year, he was promoted to civil history. Later, Li Qiao insisted on resigning from his complicated job and serving as a wine festival again. This matter remained unchanged. At the end of Chang 'an, the Buddha statue was built in Baisimaban, and Li Qiao made a remonstrance, roughly saying: "I thought that the French king was merciful and wise, and the bodhisattva protected him only for the benefit of all beings, not for the construction of civil works. Privately, I heard that building a Buddha statue does not charge people's tax, and all monks and nuns pay for it. However, it can't be done without relying on the supply of counties. Finally, we have to share the tax. How can we avoid trouble? Many poor civilians are registered in the household registration in this country. Some of them are employed to help distribute food rations, while others betray Tian She for government labor and family taxes. The statue money now exceeds170,000 yuan. If it is used to distribute relief supplies and help the poor extensively, each person will pay 1000 yuan, which can help more than 70,000 households. Saving hunger and the evil of cold, saving the suffering of slavery, conforming to the compassion of the Buddha, and generally surrendering the sage's intention, I am ecstatic and have boundless merits. " Sparse playback is not accepted.
Zhongzong acceded to the throne, and Li Qiao became the secretariat of Yuzhou because of his attachment to the Zhang Yizhi brothers, but he has not yet arrived, and has been demoted to Tongzhou secretariat. A few months later, he was recruited as an assistant minister of the official department, and he was awarded the title of Lord Zanhuang. Soon, he was promoted to the official department of Shangshu. He was appointed as the county magistrate. In the second year of Shenlong, Li Qiao succeeded Wei Anshi as the secretariat. At first, when Li Qiao was in the official department, he was bent on gaining a good reputation through extensive private interests, hoping to be prime minister again. Last week, he asked for the placement of thousands of foreign officials. At this point, the bureaucracy has multiplied and the national treasury has spent a lot. So Li Qiao resigned from the above table and stated more than a dozen questions about current political interests. Zhongzong immediately demanded the removal of Li Zan, because he talked about the current political mistakes, so he personally wrote a letter of condolences to him and refused to be allowed to be removed, which quickly made him take his old position. In three years, Li Qiao was awarded a bachelor's degree in literature repair, supervised the repair of national history, and made Zhao Guogong. Jinglong three years, get rid of the book order, especially into the ministry of war ministers, with the book.
Zong Rui acceded to the throne, and Li Jue became the secretariat of Huaizhou, and soon retired due to old age. At first, after the death of Zhongzong, Li Jue secretly requested to dispose of Wang Xiang scholars and forbid them to live in Beijing. When Xuanzong ascended the throne, he got this watch from the palace and Xuanzong showed it to the courtiers. Someone asked to kill Li Qiao. Zhang Zhongshu said: "Although Li Qiao can't distinguish disobedience, it was also a move at that time. Dogs should not be punished for barking at people who are not their own owners. " After listening to Zhang's words, the emperor wrote a letter saying, "Be honest for you and be fearless in times of crisis. As a minister, you must be loyal, and disloyalty is unforgivable. Tejin, Li Jue and Zhao Gong were attached to Zong Chuke and Ren because of the rebellion of regicide. I'm going to settle down. When I abdicated, fate gave me imperial power. Li Qiao waited for a gap and moved, but didn't know what to do. The above table says it's a lie. I've seen it with my own eyes. Because he has long been famous for his articles, he is very tolerant and has not published them, deliberately covering up his sins. Now that loyalty, goodness and evil have been clearly defined, everything is new. Once the rewards and punishments are improper, how to convince the people? Although he was pardoned from death, he should still be exiled, pity him for his old age and illness, let him spend the rest of his life safely, listen to his words, accompany his son Chang Li, and make a history of Qianzhou. " Li Qiao soon served as another family in Luzhou and died. There are fifty volumes in the anthology.
