Song Lian, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, followed the principle of being an official all his life, but the final outcome was tragic.

Photo: Network Editor: Who is shenlin Song Lian? Song Lian, who wrote the preface to "A Preface to Send Ma Sheng to Dongyang", is not a scholar who can only write poems. As the four gentlemen in eastern Zhejiang, he, Liu Bowen, Zhang Yi and Ye Chen were officials, and literature was the first of the four gentlemen. The so-called literary talent in the Ming Dynasty is not artistic talent, but knowledge to manage the world and help the country in literature, history and philosophy. In the Ming Dynasty, Song Lian and Liu Bowen were in the same breath: both of them started from the southeast, bearing heavy names. Ji has a strange spirit, but he calls himself Confucianism. In the Kiev army, the discussion was returned to discussion, and it was the first time in literature. "Song Lian portrait, how can such a person be moved by Zhu Yuanzhang? Song Lian is a late bloomer. When he was in Yuan Shundi, he was asked to be an assistant academician, but he refused. By the time he met Zhu Yuanzhang, he was 5 1 year old. In the Yuan Dynasty, his average age was 40. He is a bad old man, so he might as well stay at home and study. There are probably three reasons for being an official: First, Zhu Yuanzhang laid the foundation in Wuzhou, ordered the prohibition of alcohol and wine making, and the son who loved Hu Dahai was reported to be making wine and ordered to be executed. He would rather Hu Dahai betray him than allow him to break the instructions, which showed that he kept his word and did what he did; Second, there were once women in the city who claimed to be proficient in astronomy and geography, confusing people, and Zhu Yuanzhang arrested them and put them to death in public, which proved that the treatment of difficulties required severe punishment; Third, after the shooting, the county school was restored, so that the long-lost sound of reading sounded again, and there was a virtuous demeanor that focused on education. Song Lian identified Zhu Yuanzhang as the founding king. Instead of refusing to be beheaded, it is better to continue teaching, but the object is changed to the royal family. Song Lian, a portrait of Song Lian, was originally a teacher of Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son and later became a historian, responsible for recording Zhu Yuanzhang's daily words and deeds. It is impossible for people who are not close to the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang once asked Song Lian about imperial scholarship, and Song Lian was very sure that "University Yan Yi" was the most important. Because this book is about Confucius' benevolence, the most important thing to manage an empire is not to be ordered by heaven but to win the hearts of people all over the world. Scholars should learn to be loyal to the monarch and filial piety, and kings should know how to educate customs and people. As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious and cruel, so Song Lian always instilled kindness in Zhu Yuanzhang. Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to copy the two walls of Qin Zheng Hall, and Song Yan, the son of Song Lian, won this honor for his exquisite calligraphy. Song Lian also became the only Prince Taifu in Hongwu Dynasty. Working in imperial academy, imperial academy in Ming Dynasty was a think tank serving the emperor's administration, but he was not a thinker, but a thoughtful politician. Because politicians talk about success, thinkers talk about honesty; Politicians see the effect, thinkers see the atmosphere. Every era should lay an orthodox thought, which cannot be changed at will. Therefore, it is better to be a royal teacher academically, but not a thinker. It is enough to have Wang Yangming and Li Zhi in the Ming Dynasty, although both of them were marginalized in their official careers. How did Song Lian deal with the suspicious Taizu at the office site in imperial academy in the Ming Dynasty? Song Lian is the successor of Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and he has his own unique way of being an official. From his comments on Bai Juyi's Pipa Story, we can see a thing or two. He said: "There are countless controversies about the unfortunate life of beautiful women, but I still can't help but learn from this old lady in business. Sima Qing is too affectionate, and a song is full of tears. " This is a very interesting starting point. Bai Juyi offended the emperor and was demoted. He was in trouble, and a dusty old woman was in pain and full of complaints. Because if you don't keep a secret, you will lose your position. If you were in the Ming Dynasty, Bai Juyi wrote these words and passed them on to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's cartoon portrait Zhu Yuanzhang is a suspicious person. After Liu Ji was framed by Hu, he paid more attention to the control of ministers. He once asked Song Lian face to face in court, who ate what and drank wine last night. Song Lian didn't hide, answer one by one. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Ai Qing doesn't bully me." Even though Song Lian was so cautious and demoted twice, he still won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang. Before the results were announced, Song Lian was Mao's only active enfeoffment minister, and outsiders could not guess. Song Lian measured the facts from the Han and Tang Dynasties and put them into full play. The former minister of Song Lian's former residence once wrote tens of thousands of words, criticizing current politics. Zhu Yuanzhang has to read more than 400 memorials every day, which is a huge task, especially a book with vague content. The more he watched it, the more annoyed he became and he flew into a rage. Or Song Lian's understanding, said there was nothing wrong with this matter to calm Mao's anger. As a courtier, Song Lian wrote very well. On the way back to Pujiang from Nanjing, he wrote "a kind of gratitude to the government". Considering that Zhu Yuanzhang is a lout, doesn't like to chew over words, and his article is simple and touching, he repeated his kotow three times and expressed his gratitude incoherently. This is the head of the world's civil servants, who know what stupidity is. Repeatedly emphasize the grace of knowing the encounter, and swear to repay the favor with future generations. So when Song Lian was 68 years old, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the chamberlain to move a set of imperial treasures and some horses, and told Song Lian that you should keep the cloth for 32 years, and then you can make clothes for a hundred years and take good care of them. A cold-blooded emperor who founded the Ming Dynasty said such a thoughtful farewell to a courtier, and it is touching to think about it. This is a perfect ending, and the monarch and the minister live in peace, and each has his place. In the 13th year of Hongwu, Prime Minister Hu participated in a rebellion. Song Lian's eldest grandchildren, Song Shen and Ji Zicong, were imprisoned and died. Yes, it was Song Cong who won the honor of transcribing University Yan Yi. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang was not Japanese, and Song Lian was arrested and sentenced to death. In order to execute Song Lian, Prince Zhu Biao and both protested, and Mao was indifferent. Later, at dinner, Ma Huanghou refused to eat or drink, saying it was a virtue of Mr. Song. Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks, remained silent for a while, and ordered a pardon for capital punishment. A year later, 72-year-old Song Lian died in Kuizhou while moving. Song Lian never said a word, and the Complete Works of Song Lian can't find a word, without any metaphor or hint. He mocked Bai Juyi for not understanding the minister's way, and borrowed the old * * * to improve the situation. I didn't expect his fate to be worse than Bai Juyi's. Song Lian ancestral temple? Before Song Lian became an official, he wrote: Clouds everywhere are called seclusion, Yan mud stains my books, birds are scattered in the night, and sometimes flowers are used to sell fish. The residual books are not stained with mud. It is not a tear that a conscientious craftsman who planted the seeds of reading for the empire ended up like this. The benevolence he pursued in the emperor's heart all his life was nothing but the desire in the emperor's heart, just like the claws of snow and mud scattered with him.
