Translation
Peng Shao, whose name is Feng Yi, was born in Putian and was a scholar in the first year of Tianshun. Zhou Mi, the commander of Jinyi, is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager. He invited Wu Qiang and Wuyi to play the folk fields that were not endowed with the forehead, and confiscated them as idle fields. The emperor ordered Peng Shao to re-examine with Yu Shi Ji Cong. Peng Shao and others directly returned to the DPRK after the inspection, and Shang Shu impeached himself, saying, "The real land has become fixed property since the people were allowed to reclaim and cultivate when they were ancestors, and the lease and tax are exempted to encourage them to devote themselves to agricultural production.
how can we compete with the people for the size of the land when the heroes, consorts and the country enjoy the good fortune? I really can't bear to take the food and clothing of the people to gain the royal family and the country, and ask for punishment for my misconduct. " When Shu was presented, the emperor ordered the land to be returned to the people, blaming Peng Shao and others for inviting them to disobey orders and throwing them into the prison of Qin. The remonstrating officials rushed to remonstrate and rescue, and Peng Shao and others were released.
Xiaozong ascended the throne and called Peng Shao as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The court sent Peng Shao to inspect, and when Peng Shao arrived, the thieves had been eliminated, and he was ordered to concurrently serve as the suggestion of the capital, and soon he was promoted to assistant minister Zuo. Peng Shao set a discount quota for businessmen because they suffered from forced apportionment, and reduced the original tax arrears.
Pity the hardships of salt workers in frying, collecting compensation and reading, draw eight pictures and present them, and state the advantages and disadvantages, all of which are allowed to be implemented. Hongzhi returned to Korea in the autumn of the second year. In the second year, the official department was transferred. Distinguish talents with Shangshu Wang Shu, and your career will be clear. When the comet appeared, it was said that there were too many eunuchs and we had to cut them at once. So I asked the afternoon court to discuss major issues, not just preparing for the memorial.
Not long after, he said that there were too many abuse of official positions, and asked to put an end to the road of being favored and lucky to get an official position, and make painful rectification. The emperor thought he was right, but he couldn't adopt it after all.
In the autumn of Hongzhi four years, he replaced He Qiao as the new minister of punishments. Hou Liujing, a former Anyuan, was exposed to several thousand taels of bribes, only one tenth of which was collected, and was exempted because of his mother's lawsuit. Peng Cheng, the suggestion, complained about the excessive waste of offerings in Guanglu Temple because he talked about the imprisonment of the imperial altar, and Peng Shao went to the rescue, so the emperor ordered that the number of offerings be reported every year.
Zhu Jian, the King of Jing, was found guilty, and Peng Shao played it, which was put on hold for ten days without issuing it. Wang Ming, Miao Tong and Gao Yong, the inner officials, killed people, and were sentenced to death and relegated to the frontier. Zhang Luan, the duke of Chang, built a grave beyond customization and served tens of thousands of soldiers. People in both capital city pretend to be mausoleum temple households and warrior flag schools, so they are exempted from corvee, and the number of people in exile is increasing day by day. Peng Shao directly stated that the emperor just sent his letter to the relevant departments.
Peng Shao has been in the criminal department for three years, and his speech is honest, his attitude is serious, he upholds integrity and does not care about personal interests, and he is called "the three elders" with Wang Shu and He Qiaoxin, but he is resented by his nobles and close relatives, and Liu Ji, a great scholar, doesn't like them either. Peng Shao's ambition could not be fully implemented, and he asked for retirement in succession, so the emperor ordered him to return home by post car. According to the customization, we can supply the monthly salary and the annual salary.

The following year, Peng Shao died at the age of 66. Posthumous title Huian, a posthumous gift to Prince Shaobao.

Features of Ming History
* * Twenty-four volumes, in terms of volume number, the current edition of Ming History accounts for less than one tenth of the whole book, and in terms of words, it accounts for less than one-fifth of the whole book. From this, we can see that the proportion of biographies in the History of Ming Dynasty is very small, which is a feature of the compilation style of the History of Ming Dynasty. In biographical history books, this chronicle is a part of narrative history in chronological form.
The History of the Ming Dynasty obviously takes this chronicle as the outline of the whole history, and it is listed before the whole book in a concise way, so that people can first understand the general situation of the history of the Ming Dynasty when reading this history book, instead of making people know everything when reading this chronicle. This should be regarded as the originality of the overall design of the compilation of Ming History.
Another feature of the chronicle of Ming History is that it respects historical facts and is not based on the official history theory of Ming Dynasty. For example, if the title of Emperor Jianwen was abolished after Chengzu seized the throne, its four-year record was only the thirty-five years of Yuan, Er, San and Hongwu, which was attached to the Record of Ming Taizu. In the History of Ming Dynasty, there is a special volume "Gongmin Diji", which is very appropriate.
