His neighbor's house in the east has mulberry trees, and mulberries have fallen in his house. Zhao Gui sent someone to pick them all up and return them to its owner. He warned his sons: "I didn't seek fame by this behavior. I think it may be something I worked hard for. I don't want to invade others." You should take this as a warning. "
He stayed in qi zhou for four years, and his performance has always been the best. Etiquette emissary He Yang Gong Liang Zi played in the imperial court. Sui Gaozu praised Zhao Gui, gave him 300 silks and satins and 300 meters of rice, and called him into the court as an official. The folks who sent him away wiped their tears and said, "Don't open the official position. Small things like fire and water don't offend the people and dare not send a pot of wine away.
You are as clean as water, so we poured a glass of water to say goodbye. "Zhao Gui took it and drank some water. After he arrived in Beijing, the emperor ordered him to draft and formulate laws, orders and rules with Zhang Qiniu Hong. At that time, Wang Wei Yang Shuang was the manager of Yuanzhou, and the emperor thought Yang Shuang was young. Because Zhao Gui has a reputation as an official, he appointed Zhao Gui as the manager of the former state Sima.
On a night trip on the road, Zhao Gui's horse ran into the field and trampled the crops. Zhao Guile stopped the horse and waited until dawn to find that the owner of the crops had paid for it before leaving. When people and officials in Yuanzhou heard this, no one did not change their behavior. A few years later, Zhao Gui was promoted to the secretariat of Zhou Xia. He appeased the people of all ethnic groups and treated them well. Soon, he was appointed as the manager of Shouzhou.
There used to be five cofferdams in Shaobei, all abandoned and not repaired. Zhao Gui encouraged and urged people and officials to open 36 cofferdams and irrigate more than 5,000 hectares of land. People depend on their welfare. Zhao Guiguan returned to the village after his expiration and died at home at the age of 62.
After Zhao Gui left, the story of this honest and upright official has been circulated by the people of Jinan for a long time.
One of many stories: One autumn, an old friend of Zhao Gui learned that Zhao Gui used to study late into the night. At that time, Zhao Gui lit the smoking room to help clean his head. So that old friend gave Zhao Gui 1 kg agarwood. At that time, Zhao Gui told an old story and politely refused this precious gift. "Mulberries on the mulberry trees in the east of my house are ripe, big and red, and they fall in my yard, all over the floor.
I quickly asked my family to pick up the mulberries and return them to my neighbors. And take the opportunity to educate my son: I am by no means seeking a false name. I just don't think it's my own work and I shouldn't take it. You must take this as a warning. "After listening to this, his old friend respected the will of Zhao Gui's speech and brought agarwood back.
The second anecdote: Zhao Gui is not only self-disciplined, but also strict with his subordinates. That was after Zhao Gui was transferred to other places, and once he went on a night trip, his horse strayed into the farmland and trampled the crops. Zhao Gui immediately ordered to stop moving forward and stood by. It was not until dawn that he found the owner of the farmland, compensated for the losses, and led the troops to continue on the road. The local officials were very moved when they heard about it. They agreed to follow Zhao Gui's example and cultivate good conduct.
