A man in the State of Song got a piece of jade and gave it to Zi Han, a powerful official. Zi Han has not been affected. The person who offered the jade said, "Show it to the master who made the jade and say it is a treasure before you dare to offer it." Zi Han said: "Your baby is this jade, and mine is' not greedy'; If I accept your jade, won't you and my treasure be gone? Everyone still keeps their own baby! "
Hearing this, the man knelt down and kowtowed and said, "It is really unsafe for me, a small common people, to hide such a precious treasure. For my own safety, I dedicate it to you! " So Zi Han found a place in the city to let him stay, introduced a company that processed and bought jade to help him polish it, sold it at a good price, and then let him go home with money as a boss.
Gong Yixiu likes fish.
.
Gong Yixiu likes eating fish very much. When he became the prime minister of Lu, many people all over the country gave him fish, but he declined it politely. His students advised him to say, "Sir, you like fish so much that others bring it to your door. Why not? "
He replied, "Because I love fish, I can't just accept fish from others. If I often accept other people's fish, I will commit the crime of abusing power for personal gain, and maybe I will be removed from the post of prime minister one day. At that time, I, a fish lover, will not be able to eat fish often. Since I am honest and don't accept bribes from others, lujun won't casually dismiss me as prime minister. As long as I can't help but quit my job, there will always be fish to eat. " This is the person who truly understands the relationship between the interests of others and their own interests!

After being promoted to Beijing, there were five or six old men with white beards in Shanyin County (the first county in Huiji County, now Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province), who came from the countryside to see him off, and each brought him a hundred pence. Liu Chong refused to accept it, but only chose the largest one from many money to keep it as a souvenir. Later, he was called "the one-dollar satrap". Yang Weiqiao, the imperial adviser of the Qing Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "Being an official is nothing but money, all made of blood. Thrown to the bottom of the sea, the army won a clear name. "
The selfless and fearless Yang Zhen.
When it comes to Yang Zhen, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many people feel strange. Some people are only familiar with his "four knowledge". This historical material is often quoted in anti-corruption articles.
Let's get to know Yang Zhen from this historical material. During his tenure as the magistrate of Donglai, Yang Zhen went to Changyi on business. Wang Mi, the county magistrate, was originally a gifted scholar in Jingzhou and was recommended by Yang Zhen. When I saw Yang Shi, it was already evening, and he took out 10 Jin of gold from his arms as a gift. Yang Zhen resolutely refused, saying, "An old friend knows a gentleman, but an old friend doesn't know you. Why? " Wang Mi said, "Ignorance is at dusk." Yang Zhen still refused and solemnly said, "Heaven knows, earth knows, I know, and son knows, what is ignorance!" Seeing that he was so honest and sincere, Wang Mi had to go out in shame.

He studied poetry classics since he was a child, and he was well-read and versatile. In the 28th year of Jiajing (1550), it was selected. He was first appointed to Chongqing, Nanping, Fujian, and later promoted to Chun 'an, Zhejiang, and Xingguo County, Jiangxi, where he pursued the policy of clearing taxes, rehabilitated false and wrong cases, and cracked down on corrupt officials, winning the hearts of the people. In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, he served as the director of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He wrote a letter criticizing Sejong's shortcomings such as superstitious witchcraft, luxurious life and neglect of state affairs, and was persecuted and imprisoned. Sejong was released after his death. In the third year of Qin Long's reign (1569), he was promoted to the right capital. As always, he punished corrupt officials, cracked down on powerful people, dredged rivers, built water conservancy projects, and imposed whipping laws to force corrupt officials to return to the people, thus having the reputation of "clear sky". After discharge, he was dismissed and lived at leisure 16 years. In the 13th year of Wanli (1585), he was re-employed. He successively served as the right assistant minister of Nanjing official department and the right consultant of Nanjing, and advocated severely punishing corrupt officials and prohibiting bribery. Two years later, he died in Nanjing.
Haiduan was an honest official all his life and won the respect and love of the people. It is said that when they heard the bad news of his death, the local people were deeply saddened by the loss of their loved ones. When his coffin was transported back to his hometown from Nanjing waterway, the two sides of the Yangtze River were crowded with people to see him off. Many people even painted his portrait for their home. The legend about him is more widespread among the people. After the writers processed it, they compiled it into the famous long case-solving novels "Dahongpao at Sea Palace" and "Little Red Robe at Sea Palace", or into the scripts "Hai Rui", "Hai Rui dismissed from office" and "Hai Rui Shangshu". Harry, like Bao Zheng in Song Dynasty, is a model of honest and upright officials and a symbol of justice in the history of China.
