The fifty-first time to translate the classical Chinese "Biography of Song Shu"

Ji Sun is from Pengcheng. In the fifth year of Ming Dynasty, Song Shizu recruited able-bodied men to join the army. Ji Sun's younger brother, Sun Sa, agreed to participate, which violated the law because he didn't finish it before the deadline. According to the system and military law, people should go to prison. Before the case was finished, Ji Sun wrote to the county saying, "Sun Sa has no children, so he can't bear to see them suffer. He asked me to go to jail instead of him. " Sun Sa wrote: "I am not married yet, so I should be punished according to my crime. Breaking the law because of madness is really my own fault, and I should be punished by law. Our brother lost his parents and became an orphan when he was a child. I lost my father at the age of three, and my only support in this life is my brother. Although my brother loves me very much and helps me honestly, (but if I accept it), how can I bear to live in this world! " Zhang Dai, the prefect of Pengcheng, suspected that what they said was not true. He arranged Ji Sun and Sun Sa in one place and said to Ji Sun, "I have invited you, and your brother wants you to take his place." Ji Sun was very happy and replied, "In this way, my brother can save his life." Zhang Dai also told Sun Sa (Ji Sun can't go to jail for him), and Sun Sa also said happily, "I should die for my sin and benefit my brother. Even if I die, what regrets do I have? " ! "Ji Sun's wife told Sun Sa again:" Your brother is the gateway to this family. How can you make your brother suffer? ".Besides, we all face life and death. The younger brother is not married and the family is not established. Your brother has two sons, so there is no regret even if he dies. Zhang Dai wrote this matter to the imperial court, and Song Shizu wrote a letter saying: "Although Ji Sun and Sun Sa are ordinary people, their moral behavior is commendable, and they are pardoned. "The country canceled the trial and awarded twenty silks.
