Wen Yanbo served as an official, an English, a God and a philosopher all his life, and was recommended to be promoted to the second government, with seven festivals, which will last for fifty years. During his tenure as an imperial envoy in the temple, he enforced the law impartially and successfully resisted the invasion of Xixia. During this period, he boldly put forward the idea of disarmament of 80 thousand, in order to simplify administration and reduce the burden on the people, and was called a wise man by the world. Ruben Gong Ji has forty volumes, and one of his words is recorded in Song Ci.
What anecdotes and allusions does Wen Yanbo have?
Luoyang street film club
After retiring to Luoyang, Wen Yanbo, together with thirteen people, such as Fu Bi and Sima Guang, admired the old events of Bai Juyi's Nine Presbyterian Church, and gathered old and noble people in Luoyang. He believes that Luoyang customs value age over official positions, so he built an "old-age hall" in Zisheng Hospital, calling it "Luoyang Old-age Club" and asked Huan to paint in it. At that time, he was seventy-nine, Wen Yanbo, Si and Si were seventy-seven, Wang Shanggong, a court doctor, was seventy-six, Feng Hangji, a secretary supervisor of Zhao Bing, Liu Ji and Wei Zhou, was seventy-five, Chu Jianzhong and Wang 72, a court doctor, and Zhang Wen and a bachelor of Long Tuge, a court doctor, were seventy. At that time, Xuanhui told Wang to stay in Beijing (Daming Mansion) and wrote to Wen Yanbo to attend their meeting. Wang Shinian was 7 1 year old. It's just that Sima Guang is not seventy years old, and Wen Yanbo has always valued him, so he invited him to join the partnership with the old example of the Tang Dynasty. Sima Guang didn't dare to be behind Fu and Wen, because he was a junior. Wen Yanbo didn't listen, so Zheng Huan passed the portrait of Sima Guang from behind the scenes, and then passed the portrait of the king to Beijing. So thirteen people attended the meeting, and they bought wine and wrote poems for fun. At that time, there were many famous ancient temples in Luoyang, with bamboo pavilions as the scenery. Wen Yanbo and others have white eyebrows and dignified and beautiful faces. Every time we get together, Luoyang people follow.
Worship each other because of the princess
According to Mei's Yun Lan, Song Renzong's wife's father is a guest of Wen Yanbo's family. In order to consolidate his position in the harem, Zhang Guifei took the initiative to make friends with Wen Yanbo and regarded him as an uncle, thus gaining more external support in the court competition. At that time, Wen Yanbo was a bachelor's degree and was well known in Chengdu. On one occasion, near the Shangyuan Festival, Zhang Guifei motioned for Wen Yanbo to present lanterns and tapestries. Shu brocade is famous all over the world, especially Chengdu Lantern Brocade. This brocade pattern takes lanterns as the main body, tassels and bees as accessories, which means "abundant crops". Wen Yanbo immediately arranged for people to make lanterns and send them to Beijing.
On the Lantern Festival, Zhang Guifei specially put on clothes made of lanterns to see Song Renzong. Song Renzong cried, "Where is this brocade?" Zhang Guifei replied, "This was woven by Wen Yanbo. He used to have an old relationship with my father, so he is commensurate with his uncle. However, how can I appoint a court minister? Wen Yanbo took the initiative to weave it for your majesty. " Song Renzong was very happy and began to pay attention to Wen Yanbo. Soon, Song Renzong transferred Wen Yanbo back to be the negotiator of the Council, and then he took on the important task of consulting the government. Later, this matter was handled by Tang Jie, and Wen Yanbo transferred it to Zhou Xu. The following year, on the Lantern Festival, the minister wrote a poem, saying, "No one entered the lantern brocade, and the red pink palace remembered the courtiers." Renzong also smiled when he heard this poem.
Clever crisis
When Wen Yanbo was working in Chengdu, he once gave a banquet to entertain guests on a snowy day, which was still late at night. Some soldiers accompanying them complained bitterly, and the well pavilion was torn down and burned to avoid the cold. A military school reported this matter to Wen Yanbo, and all the guests at the dinner table trembled with fear. Wen Yanbo said calmly, "It's really cold, so let them tear down the pavilion to keep warm." Say that finish, I continue to drink as usual, with a smile on my face. The soldiers in the back were very depressed and never made any excuses to make trouble again. The next day, Wen Yanbo inquired who started to dismantle the well pavilion first, and escorted the man away with a stick.
stop
At the end of Yuanfeng, Wen Yanbo returned to Luoyang as an official. At that time, he was nearly eighty years old. Seeing him healthy and strong, Zongshen asked, "Do you have a good way to take pictures?" Wen Yanbo said, "Nothing else. I just can do whatever I want, be carefree and not hurt my feelings because of foreign things. I dare not do anything excessive, just do it right. " Zong Shen believes that what Wen Yanbo said is a famous saying.
Fame spreads everywhere, describes a great reputation
During the Yuan You period, the Liao Dynasty sent envoys Lu Ye Yongchang and Liu Xiao to visit, and Su Shi received them and followed them to visit Zhezong. When the messenger saw Wen Yanbo outside the temple gate, he stepped back and said, "Is this Duke Lu?" And asked Wen Yanbo's birthday. After Su Shi answered, the messenger said, "You are so old, but you are so strong." Su Shi said, "The messenger only saw his face, but didn't hear him speak. He manages all kinds of things comprehensively and concisely, even as a teenager. He has profound knowledge, even though he is a famous expert. " The emissary respectfully said, "Wen Yanbo is really different in the world." After Wen Yanbo returned to Luoyang, Wen Xixin, the leader of Xiqiang, had a famous horse and asked the border officials to give it to Wen Yanbo. Zhezong specially asked for permission. He is worshipped by others to such an extent.
Respect as a god.
Cai Tai recorded in "Talk about Tiewei Mountain" that he played with a group of companions when he was young. Just as Wen Yanbo and Han Qi were just talking, the older elders would definitely change their faces and exhort, "Don't talk nonsense!" At that time, the two had been dead for decades and were regarded as gods.
Belief in Buddhism
Wen Yanbo believed in Buddhism, especially in his later years. No matter in the morning or evening, there is no slack between walking, living, sitting and lying down. He once called 100,000 people together with the silent master to hold the Pure Land Dharma.
Irrigation floating ball
Wen Yanbo was clever since he was a child. Once, he and several companions played football on the grass. Inadvertently, the ball fell into a tree hole. The companions lay prone at the mouth of the cave and reached for the ball, but they couldn't reach it, nor could they reach it with sticks. When everyone was anxious, Wen Yanbo came up with a good idea, pouring water into the tree hole, and the water floated out when it was full of balls. This is the story of Wen Yanbo's Flower Irrigation Car.
