Hu Shuxiu heard that her husband was in prison and hurried to Bianjing. She used all her connections to go up and down. However, Cai Jing intended to kill Li Zhiyi, and all his efforts were in vain.
She finally found that Fan Chunren's manuscript was collected in an official's home, and the contents in the manuscript could just refute Cai Jing's false accusation.
As long as we get the manuscript, Li Chi Ngai will be saved. She rushed to the official's house to ask for the manuscript, but the official was afraid of Cai Jing's power and refused to take out the manuscript anyway.
Hu Shuxiu was anxious to save her husband and came up with a strange trick. She bribed the official's servant with a large sum of money and found out where the manuscript was hidden. Then, like a woman, she went into the hall and stole the manuscript, and stood up to complain to Li Zhiyi. This shocked the ruling and opposition, and the literati were amazed. The queen mother also specially took her into the palace to give comfort.
In this way, Cai Jing saved Li Zhiyi from the death penalty, removed him from the list and put him in charge of Taiping County (now Dangtu, Anhui Province). "Management" was the heaviest demotion at that time, and the officials punished by it were sentenced to death and lost their personal freedom.
Hu Shuxiu wept with joy when her husband narrowly escaped death. She admired her husband's composure and courage in adversity and said with infinite affection, "How much you suffered in prison, but now your face is rosy, as if you were a little fatter than usual." It seems that you haven't taken this seriously. "

At the end of Yuan You, Su Shi was in Dingzhou shogunate, advocating a clear distinction between rewards and punishments day and night. When Yuan Fuzhong was in charge of the fragrant medicine storehouse, Shiyu Shenyu was disintegrated. He used to be Su Shi's aide, so he couldn't be an official in Beijing and was suspended.
Li Zhiyi studied under Fan Chunren, the son of Fan Zhongyan in his early years.

At that time, the king of South Korea, Wang Hui, passed away, and the court appointed Dr. Zuo Jian, Yang Jinglue, to offer condolences.
Wen heard that Li Zhiyi was famous and talented, so he invited his colleagues to intercede. On the way to preach, when I passed the Han Shi Temple in Xiaotangshan, Changqing County, Shandong Province, I wrote a sentence on the stone pillar of the stone temple. The characters are regular script, the five elements are * * *, and the lettering is still there. This is the only relic he left in Shandong.
