Translation for reference: Wang Gongchen, courtesy name Junkuang, was born in Xianping, Kaifeng.
His original name was Gongshou. When he was nineteen years old, he got the first place in Jinshi. Renzong gave him the name "Gongchen". He served as general magistrate of Huaizhou and Zhixianyuan. He successively served as magistrate of salt and iron, Xiu Shizhu and Zhizhigao.
In the first year of Qingli (1041), he became a bachelor of Hanlin. Khitan envoy Liu Liufu once said to Jia Changchao: "What dangers are there in a boundary river? You can cross it in a small boat, and the soldiers can fill it up with a whip.
Or, dig out the river embankment. , make 100,000 bags filled with sand and put them upstream, and the road can be opened at any time." Renzong discussed this issue with Gongchen, and Gongchen said, "There is always a conspiracy in war.
If the other party can do this, we shouldn't tell them. This must be a lie. This is what the ancestors did by setting up dangerous obstacles to defend the country. Our ancestors also used dangerous terrain to defend against the enemy."
Soon, the Khitan. He also sent Liu Liufu to demand that the Song Dynasty cede ten counties in Guannan, and accused Taizong of unreasonably attacking Yan. The whole court didn't know how to respond.
Gongchen said: "When the king's army conquered Hedong, the Khitan had already communicated with us, but they attacked Shiling Pass to support the rebels in Hedong. Taizong was angry, so he returned to attack the Khitan. How can you say it was unreasonable? ?" So he wrote back and said: "First there was the battle at Shilingguan, and then there was the battle at Jimen."
After the Khitan received the reply, they resumed their reconciliation. Renzong happily said to the ministers, "If Gongchen wasn't familiar with history, it would be really difficult to answer."
Gongchen also acted as the prefect of Kaifeng and was appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng. Xia Song became the privy envoy. Gong Chen said: "When Xia Song was in charge of the western frontier affairs, he made no achievements and returned nothing.
Now let him be in charge of the country's two highest military and political institutions. One, how to set an example for the world?" So he argued with the emperor face to face and had fierce words. The emperor didn't think it through and stood up suddenly. Gong Chen stepped forward and held the corner of his clothes.
The emperor finally listened to his words and Xia Song resigned. He also said: "What Teng Zongliang did in Qingzhou violated the law, but he was only demoted and transferred to Guo Shou. I am afraid that all the border ministers will be like him in the future.
He should be severely punished." The emperor did not listen. He took leave to go home and asked for a demotion.
So the emperor transferred Teng Zongliang to Yuezhou and ordered Gongchen to continue to be responsible for his original work. When Gongchen paid a visit to the emperor, the emperor said: "You staff officers can express your opinions. Don't think that the court's failure to adopt one of your suggestions means that it is suppressing you, and you can easily resign in order to gain fame.
From now on, you should say whatever you think you should say, and don't avoid it." Monk Shaozong deceived the people in the name of casting Buddha statues. The residents of the capital rushed to throw gold into the furnace, and the harem also provided money to help him.
Gongchen said, "We have sent troops to garrison the west for many years, but we have spent money on places where it should not be used. This will shake the morale of the military and cause resentment among the people." The emperor ordered a ban on this move by Seng Shaozong. Activity.
Su Shunqin entertained guests when he entered the memorial hall. Wang Yirou was drunk and composed "Aoge". Gongchen persuaded Su's subordinates Yu Zhouxun and Liu Yuanyu to report this matter.
As a result, Su and Wang were demoted to distant places, and all the people who attended the banquet were expelled to other places.
The ruling ministers at that time were Du Yan and Fan Zhongyan. They made many reforms to traditional rules and regulations, which made Gongchen's friends feel uneasy. Shun Qin and Yi Rou were recommended and promoted by Fan Zhongyan, and Shun Qin was Du Yan's son-in-law. Therefore, Gong Chen took this opportunity to overthrow these people. At that time, public opinion looked down on Gong Chen's character.
Later, as a Hanlin bachelor, he acted as the third envoy. Because Zheng Xu, a wealthy citizen, was improperly elected, he was appointed magistrate of Zhengzhou. He was also moved to Chan, Ying, and Bingzhou successively.
He returned a few years later and served as a bachelor and concurrently as an attendant. The emperor stored the "Tai Xuan Jing" and the yarrow used for divination in Yiying Pavilion, and said to Gongchen, "I often study these.
Do you also understand these?" Gongchen replied and Said: "I hope your majesty will pay attention to the Confucian classics "Six Classics", and then use the historical books recording the rise and fall of the past dynasties as a supplement. These miscellaneous books are not enough for learning." In the third year of Zhihe (1056), he was re-appointed as the third minister.
He was sent as an envoy to the Khitan and met with the Khitan leader at the Hun Tong River, where they had a banquet and fished together. Every time the Khitan master caught a fish, he would pour wine for Gongchen and play the pipa himself to cheer him up.
He also said to his prime minister: "This is the young champion of the Southern Dynasty. He has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy for fifteen years, so I want to treat him particularly favorably." After returning, the censor Zhao Bian thought his behavior was inappropriate. Etiquette: "If the Khitan envoys ask us for this as an example in the future, how can we refuse?" Li Zhang, the transfer judge of Hunan, and Ren Zhuan, the magistrate of Tanzhou, forcibly bought the jewelry of the dead businessman at a low price. After their crimes were exposed, they were arrested. Gongchen bribed all the jewels to the harem, and Zhao Bian also impeached the matter.
After being appointed as the envoy of the North Academy of Xuanhui, Zhao Bian said: "The position of Xuanhui was originally given to people with meritorious service. Only the former ministers in power and the Jiedushi can obtain this position. How can Gongchen What about insulting this position?" So he was asked to know the Yongxing Army as a bachelor of Duanming Palace, and he was in charge of Taizhou, Dingzhou, and Daming Prefecture of Henan, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. After Shenzong came to the throne, Gongchen should be transferred to Pushe according to his qualifications. Ouyang Xiu thought that Pushe was at the level of prime minister and should not be ranked according to seniority, so he only appointed him as the prince Shaobao.
In the first year of Xining (1068), he was called back to serve as the envoy of the North Academy. Wang Anshi was appointed as the counselor of political affairs. He hated that he was always against him. When the two prime ministers were in trouble, he drove him to take charge of Yingtian Mansion.
In the eighth year (1075), he entered the court to see the emperor and served as the envoy of Zhongtaiyi Palace. In the early years of Yuanfeng (1078), he was transferred to the envoy of Nanyuan and was given the Jinfang Tuandai.
The daimyo was sentenced again and was appointed as the military governor of Wu'an Army. The Third Route Chief compiled the household registration of the people and established the Baojia system, and called on the people every day for instruction. The prohibitions were harsh and impatient, and the people were often forced to become bandits.
County and county officials concealed these situations and did not dare to report them. Gongchen resolutely wrote a letter criticizing its shortcomings: "Not only the material interests of the people are greatly harmed, but their farming time is also delayed. This is using the law to force them to commit crimes.
It is a sign that they are gradually evolving into big thieves. It can already be seen. Even if all these measures cannot be abolished, the poorest and least able-bodied people should be spared from harm and the situation should be eased."
Those in power accused Gongchen of resisting the new law. Gongchen replied: "This is an old minister who is serving his country with all his loyalty." The music continued one after another.
The emperor came to his senses, and the fifth-class households were protected from harm. Zhezong ascended the throne, moved to Zhangde Jiedu, and was granted the title of Grand Master of the School.
He died this year at the age of seventy-four. He was given a posthumous gift to the Third Division of Kaifu Yitong, with the posthumous title "Yike". 3. Classical Chinese reading, translation of Wang Sui, courtesy name Zizheng, from Henan Province
Wang Sui, courtesy name Zizheng, from Henan Province. He passed the examination of Jinshi A Division and was appointed as the Chief Supervisor and Tongpan Tongzhou. He was promoted to Secretary, Provincial Zuolang, Zhishi Guan, and Sansi Mokan Division. He served as the Deputy Envoy to the West of Beijing. He went to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor, and said: "My parents live in Luozhong, in the area under my jurisdiction. I can serve my parents in their daily life. The decoctions and medicines I take are the blessings of the Holy Lord." Zhenzong then I gave him a poem to see him off with kindness, and gave him sheep wine and silk as a congratulatory gift when he visited his family.
Wang Suiqian was promoted to Huainan transfer envoy. His father died and he was reinstated before the mourning period was over. At that time, there had been a famine for many years. Wang Sui ordered his subordinates to take out government money and lend it to the people to buy seeds and grain. In the middle of the year, they converted the money into silk and paid off the debt. Most of the exiled hired workers went back to work. He was transferred to Hedong transportation envoy, and was promoted three times to Yuanwailang, a member of the Ministry of punishment, and also served as an assistant to the censor to know miscellaneous matters. He was promoted to Zhizhigao, but because he was not good at making orders and speaking, he was appointed as the governor of Yingtian Mansion. One day, the emperor said to the prime minister: "Wang Sui's governance of Nanjing is too loose." Wang Dan said: "Nanjing is a big city, and Wang Sui is lax in his affairs and cannot guard it." He was appointed governor of Yangzhou. When Renzong was the crown prince, he served as the right concubine and was still in charge of the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion. Zhou Huaizheng was executed. Wang Sui himself stated that he had lent Huaizheng fifty taels of platinum. He cut off the Zhizhigao and gave it to Shizhong and Zhihangzhou. In the early years of Qianxing, he was demoted to Secretary and Shaojian and transferred to Tongzhou. Because there was a shortage of students in the state, the Confucius Temple was moved and schools built. The people in the state were very happy and sent their children to school. Wang Sui's mother passed away, and before the mourning period was over, he was appointed as Guangluqing, Zhirunzhou, and transferred to Jiangning Prefecture. There was a great famine that year, and the transshipment envoy ordered the Jiangning Prefecture to provide one liter of rice per day according to the population. Wang Sui put it aside and refused to implement it, saying: "The reason for the people's famine is to annex and hoard rice in order to pursue high prices." So he ordered Official millet was sold in large quantities to average the price. Wang Sui was re-appointed to Shizhong, appointed as the direct bachelor of Longtuge and the magistrate of Qinzhou. There were Qin soldiers who committed crimes and fled to the Fan tribes. The Rong people kept them as slaves. If they were not satisfied, they would bring them to the government for reward. In the past, most people who committed crimes like this were executed. The king then ordered that those who could come back on their own would be exempted from death penalty and allowed to re-submit their military status, so there were many who came back. Wang Sui also suggested asking for more soldiers in the Tibetan tribal areas, allocating the abandoned Tramp land, and recruiting people to cultivate it. Wang Sui was convicted and transferred to Henan Prefecture. During the Ming Dynasty, he served as Jianghuai's pacification envoy. When he returned to the court, he was granted the title of Minister of Household Affairs and participated in political affairs. He requested that he and his fellow ministers present one of the remonstrances of famous ministers of the previous generation every day. The discussants felt that it was not the duty of the auxiliary minister, so the matter was shelved. Wang Sui served as prime minister for one year and made no proposals. He was in power together with Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi and Shi Zhongli and argued about things many times. At a time when disasters occurred frequently, Han Qi, the official admonishment officer, came forward and all four of them were dismissed from office.
On the surface, Wang Sui seems to be upright and strict, but his governance is loose. In his later years, he became even more impatient and often insulted others. He likes Buddhism by nature and admires Pei Xiu's conduct as a person, but his integrity and conduct cannot compare with him. 4. Answers to the reading passage of the extracurricular classical Chinese article "Marquis Wei Wen's Admonition"
Original text
Marquis Wei Wen sent Le Yang to attack Zhongshan and conquer it; he sealed his son's attack. Marquis Wen asked the ministers: "How can I be like a master?" They all said "Benevolent Lord." Ren Zuo said: "If you conquer Zhongshan, you will not be the emperor's brother but the emperor's son. How can you be a benevolent monarch?" Wen Hou was angry and Ren Zuo said. The seats tend to come out. The next time he asked Zhai Huang, he said to him, "You are a benevolent king." Marquis Wen said, "How do you know that?" He said to him, "When I hear that the emperor is benevolent, I will be upright. If you speak to those who are seated, you will be honest, and I will know it." Marquis Wen was pleased. , Zhai Huang called him to take his seat, but instead went down to the hall to greet him personally as a distinguished guest.
Translation
Wei Wenhou sent Leyang to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom, captured it, and granted it to his son Wei Ji. Marquis Wen of Wei asked the ministers: "What kind of monarch am I?" Everyone said: "You are a benevolent monarch!" Only Ren Zuo said: "Your Majesty, you won the Zhongshan Kingdom. You don't use it to grant a title to your younger brother, but to yourself. What kind of benevolent monarch is your son?" Wei Wenhou was furious and left his seat quickly. Marquis Wei Wen asked Zhai Huang again, and Zhai Huang replied: "You are a benevolent monarch." Marquis Wei Wen asked: "How do you know?" He replied: "I believe that if a monarch is benevolent, his ministers will dare to speak out. Just now Ren Your words are very upright, so I know that you are a benevolent monarch." Wei Wenhou was overjoyed and sent Zhai Huang to pursue Ren Zu when he came back. He also went down to the palace to greet you and treated him as an honored guest.
Notes: 1 Kezhi: Captured Zhongshan. Gram: Capture, conquer. Name: Dai Zhongshan. 2 How to know it: On what basis you think so. Zhi: know, know, think. To: unintentionally 3-direction: that is, in the past, referred to as "just now". 4 Wei Wenhou sent Le Yang to attack Zhongshan. Envoy: send an envoy. 5 Chu Chu: refers to walking quickly. Seeing that his master was so angry, Ren Zuo had no choice but to walk out in fear.
Enlightenment
This is a small incident. It is based on the fact that Wei Wenhou sent Le Yang to take Zhongshan Kingdom and then gave Zhongshan Kingdom to his son as a clue. It tells the story of the emperor's general. Xiang’s way of survival.
Everyone has selfish motives, but they must be weighed against the overall situation. Although Marquis Wen was a virtuous man, he could not help but be protective of his shortcomings. He took a piece of good land and the first thing he thought of was leaving it to his son, but the minister Ren Zui pointed out that it was inappropriate. In fact, all the kingdoms in future generations belong to the son, so why not give some immediate benefits to the Chinese to help him stabilize his kingdom? Therefore, in this matter, the monarch is not as open-minded as his ministers. Even more fortunately, there are two virtuous ministers among them. Just imagine that if Zhai Huang could not point out Wei Wenhou's fault in time, then Wenhou would not know that he was making a very serious mistake, and then he would not even have the opportunity to "come down to the hall to greet him personally, thinking he is a guest." . 5.

The greedy, cruel and cruel officials have not left, we Is it possible for the people to have no worries about their lives? The wise men hide themselves from the subordinates, and their loyal words are blocked by the superiors. The door to justice has not been fully opened, and the meaning of listening has not been fully developed. Is it true that the king and his ministers are wary of fear and not self-responsible? If you don't feel at ease, you should advance as a gentleman and withdraw from villains. If you worry about the people's privacy and use the borders as a police force, you will be able to cultivate your own politics and maintain your discipline. , There is no other good thing. I am afraid that if there is a moment of misfortune before the court, tens of thousands of people will be in the wilderness from now on. "This time I begged to apply for the strict supervision of the Secretary to protect corrupt officials, and recommended the prohibition of favoritism, and the emperor praised it for a long time. The next day, when the prime minister was preparing the plan, the emperor took out a piece of paper in the palm of his hand, wrote the names of the two people, and said: "Why are you not as good as this?" One of them was Meng Mingye. Then he paid homage to the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.
Therefore, a boy in the family of the son of General Li Xianzhong drowned. Someone falsely accused him of murder and arrested several hundred or three hundred families. Meng Ming discovered his grievance and explained it to the superior officer. When he came out to promote Chang Ping in Fujian, the emperor said: "I know that you love the people and hate corrupt officials. If things are not convenient for the people, you should pay attention to them." When asked about the talents in the world, Meng Ming said: "There are talents. If you don't learn, you will become mean. But if you are enlightened by your superiors and make correct choices, you will be able to return your heart to the Tao, and your achievements will be twice as great as those of others." The emperor said: "Sincerity is the responsibility of those who are superior to others." I wanted to visit him with the intention of dispatching him. One day when the emperor was holding a banquet for imperial scriptures, because he was discussing the inspection by the supervisory department, Gu said to the lecturer: "I have received several people recently, and Meng Ming is the best." He was looking for some prisons in the east of Zhejiang, and he was suspected by the township department. , changed his envoy to Jiangdong.
When he met with Guangxi commander-in-chief, the emperor said to his assistant minister: "I have thought about it carefully, and it is not easy for Meng Ming to respond." Then he wrote to Meng Ming and said: "I heard that the benefits and disadvantages of the Guangxi Salt Law are equal, sir. When he takes office, he can study the facts in detail. "He enters the Zhimi Pavilion, knows Jingjiang Mansion, and manages the affairs of Guangxi. In the early days, Guangxi Yanyi officials were mostly paying for customers, and there were not many customers. During the six years of his travels, public and private relations became ill, he was arrested and imprisoned, and the people were in dire straits. Meng Mingtiao used the post memorial to eliminate its shortcomings and followed it. Zhu Xing, the jailer, gathered his party members and engaged in thunder and lightning. As the momentum gradually grew, Meng Ming sent his generals to be tied to the camp gate and beheaded.
After Guangzong ascended the throne, he moved to Tidian Prison in the west of Zhejiang Province. He was called to be a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wai Lang, and was transferred to the left division, then to the right division, and then to the province under Zhongshumen to inspect the official affairs of various houses. Ningzong ascended the throne and paid homage to the Taifu Qing and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At the beginning of Qingyuan Dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of Officials died.
Meng Ming used Confucianism to work hard to gain knowledge from his masters, and he was not lucky enough to be transferred to his official position. Han Yuzhou tried to send his secret guest to persuade the officials, so as to falsely accuse Zhao Ru of being foolish. Meng Ming did not answer, and the scholars took this seriously. 6.
