Xie Lingyun loved reading and reading history since he was a child. The articles he wrote are very good-looking, and almost no one in Jiangnan can catch up with them. His uncle Xie Hun likes him very much. Xie Lingyun inherited his grandfather's title, was made Duke of Recreation, and enjoyed the tax treatment of 2,000 households. Citing precedent, Xie Lingyun was awarded the position of assistant riding out of court. Xie Lingyun didn't arrive, but he accepted the position of Wang's Sima Hang to join the army. Xie Lingyun is arrogant and extravagant, and loves luxury. The decoration of his car is bright and beautiful. Everything he wears and plays has changed the old style. The whole world follows his example and people call him Xie. Liu Yi, a rich army general, guarded his aunt and made him a clerk to join the army. Liu Yi guarded Jiangling and made him a guard in Langzhong. After Liu Yi was killed, Emperor Wu of Song took him as Qiu to join the army. After returning to Beijing, he became a doctor's secretary, but he was dismissed for something.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Yao family in Qin Dynasty, Liu Daolian, the ancient general of a title of generals in ancient times, stayed in the capital, and Xie Lingyun joined the army as a counselor. Then he was transferred to the position of assistant minister in Zhongshu and assistant minister in Huangmen. Xie Lingyun was ordered to send envoys to Pengcheng to comfort sai-jo Liu Jun, and wrote down the "Essay Sign".
After coming back, he was still appointed as assistant minister of Huangmen in Song Dynasty, and later he was promoted to Guo Xiang to be a corps commander. Prince Zuo Weishuai was removed from his post for executing his protege without authorization. Emperor Wu of Song Wudi was the emperor, and Duke Xie Lingyun was reduced to a marquis, enjoying the tax treatment of 500 households, becoming a regular servant of scattered riding and a prince left-back handsome. Xie Lingyun is extreme in nature and often violates etiquette. The court only regarded him as a man with some literary talent, not a knowledgeable and talented politician. But he himself thinks he has the ability to participate in major state affairs. Not appreciated now, he is often wronged. Liu Yizhen, the king of Luling, loved literature when he was young and made friends with Xie Lingyun. When the young emperor became emperor, the power was in the hands of ministers, and Xie Lingyun made mischief in the middle and vilified those in power. Si Tuleideng Xu Xianzhi and others were afraid of him and asked him to go out and be a magistrate of Yongjia. Yongjia county has many famous mountains and beautiful water. He always likes to travel everywhere, because he is excluded, so he travels freely and has traveled to almost every county. Every time he travels, he spends ten days at a time, regardless of the lawsuits of ordinary people. Wherever Xie Lingyun went, he wrote poems and expressed his feelings. After only one year in the county, I was told that I was sick and left. His cousins Xie Hui, Xie Yao and Xie Hongwei all wrote to dissuade him. Xie Lingyun didn't listen at all.
Xie Lingyun's grandfather and father are buried in Boning County, where his old house and villa are located. So it was automatically changed to the native place of Huiji County, where houses and manors were built. In front of his residence, a bird's eye view of the beautiful water around the city and the towering mountains on his back is extremely deep and quiet. He and the hermits Wang Hongzhi and Kong Chunzhi. I had a good time and often plan to stay here for more than a year. Every poem of his spread to Beijing, regardless of the level, was copied, and the government and the people knew it overnight. People from far and near adored him, and his reputation shocked the capital.
Emperor Wen proclaimed himself emperor, Xu Xianzhi and others were killed, and Xie Lingyun was transferred to the secretary supervisor. Being summoned twice, Xie Lingyun ignored it. Wendi sent Guanglu doctor Fan Tai to write to Xie Lingyun to praise him, and he was called to office. Wendi asked him to sort out the books of the secretary's province and fill in the missing places, and because there was no complete history book in the Jin Dynasty, he asked Xie Lingyun to write a book of Jin. He wrote a rough outline, but the book was not written after all. Soon, he was promoted to assistant and summoned every morning and evening, which was very popular with Emperor Wen. Xie Lingyun's calligraphy is unique. At that time, he copied every composition by himself. Wendi called his writing and ink two treasures. Since he is a celebrity, Xie Lingyun feels that he should participate in state affairs. When summoned, he promised himself, but after being summoned, Wendi only regarded him as a scholar. Every time I drink with Wendi Deng, Wendi Deng just asks him to talk about poetry. Wang Tanshou, Yin and others, their reputation has been under him, and they are spoiled at the same time. Xie Lingyun refuses to accept, often saying that he is sick and does not go to court. He just built ponds, planted flowers and trees, transplanted bamboo and fiddled with herbs. He drove away people who worked hard for the country, which was almost endless. Go out to play, sometimes walk 160 miles a day, and often don't come back for ten days, without asking for instructions or asking for leave. Wendy didn't want to hurt the minister, so she suggested that he resign voluntarily. Xie Lingyun later declared that he was ill, and Wendi asked him to take a vacation and return to the East. Before he left, he went to another concert to persuade Wendi Deng to explore the north. The article says:
Since the fall of the Central Plains, the people have fallen into the hands of the enemy for more than 100 years and have been ruled by other nationalities. The first emperor was wise and sacred, and he pitied the sufferings of the people in the Central Plains. He hoped to destroy Hebei, unify China, strengthen the Central Plains, and return adherents to China. But luck turned, the great cause was not achieved, the ideal was not realized, and the first emperor died with regret. Besides, shortly after the first emperor was buried, the Japanese invaded. Who doesn't want to get excited and avenge their country? However, when the emperor was young, the ruling minister was mediocre, only creating chaos in the court, ignoring the entrustment of the first emperor in the court. So the border town fell, and no one wanted to help. People loyal to the country were captured by the enemy, and the great rivers and mountains in the Yellow River valley finally fell. These occupied territories were all opened by the former emperors. After the enemy falls, the shame of the country should be washed away. Now we should be ready to do the work. Besides, the people in enemy-occupied areas are poor and miserable, and the enemy's tax collection is endless. If people do not pay taxes on time, they will be slaughtered. If he can't save his life, the whole family will be implicated and the villagers will suffer. These are indeed very painful and indignant to kind people.
Some people say that the enemy in the west leaves Gansu and the enemy in the east goes north, so our army can take the opportunity to cover the attack. After the return of the enemy on the western front, our army can surround Xianyang according to relevant regulations, and the road for the enemy to return has been cut off. Even if we have to send troops to support, we can only attack our army near distant big cities, so that we can deal with it internally and externally. But at this time, our army has a deep mountain pass as a guard, which is basically impregnable. Even if the enemy wants to reinforce, he just leaves his lair, but he can't save himself. The enemy outside is exhausted, but there is no one inside. At this critical moment, there is no better time to show your strength. At that time, if we were at loggerheads with the enemy, we might have an accident and meet new enemies, which was different from the beginning. If we don't seize this good opportunity, it will be difficult to achieve much. Even if there are many troops and sufficient food, the possibility of victory may not be possible. Throughout ancient history, they were unified by annexing the weak, and all heroes in ancient and modern times were without exception. At that time, was it not that personnel opportunities were rare, and the rise and fall could be judged? Therefore, the ancients said: "Only when you see the enemy's natural disasters coming and see his contradictions can you attack him." When Wei became strong, Jingzhou and Jizhou were pacified, and Liu Biao and Yuan Shao took advantage of it. The prosperity of Jin, the demise of Wu and Shu also took advantage of the absence of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun. These are all examples inherent in the past, which are clearly written in the history books. Since the end of Qin Dynasty, everyone thought that the conference semifinals were going extinct. We should point to the slide platform, sweep the enemy city, break the enemy's heart, and then point to the day when the north is pacified. However, the fall of Chang 'an and Tongguan enabled the enemy to save his life and prolong his life. It has been twelve years now, and it has reached a period of discipline, so there are these views. In addition, the five lakes will soon replace each other, and their last period is next year. They attack each other, and we should use them. The situation of Bian Zhuangzi stabbing a tiger is just like today. People in the north looked up at the emperor's kindness, as if hungry people wanted to eat and drink, and looked at me in the south for a long time. The hope that the people will see the light of day really lies with your majesty. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, it will be gone in the future. Although the country's savings today are really small, it is easy not to find opportunities to do great things, but it is even more difficult to seize opportunities. Now there are more weapons and weapons, and their strength has expanded, far exceeding the past. As for the victory of sending troops, you can get more than one million accounts and sufficient land rent in Jizhou. The wealth of Jizhou made it very clear in Gong Yu that the inheritance founded by the sages is still great. There is plenty of water here, and the plains are covered with mulberry, millet and wheat, where the rich material and human resources are clear enough. Careful planning for the country, this harvest is far greater than the cost of sending troops to the north!
Because of the loss of Guanzhong, some people think that Hebei can't defend even if it gets it. But the situation in the east and the west is different from the inside out. Kansai is a place where many nationalities live together. There are many nationalities. In the Western Han Dynasty, the state stationed troops and built a peak fire platform in Ganquan Palace. Besides, the troops stationed in the distance now will encounter the problem of alternating the old and the new. Hebei is all Han Chinese, and there is no mixed blood. Layers of mountains can be used as barriers, and three levels can be used as gates. If our cavalry pushes north, the aliens in the desert will escape. If Yan Bing guards, Jizhou will be as strong as Mount Tai. Longxi was attacked by Xiongnu, and Chao Cuo put forward a strategy to defend against the enemy. When the Huns invaded the Han Dynasty, Jia Yi made a generous speech. This is a distant precedent. Emperor Wu of Jin was just a monarch with average ability. This is a good opportunity for Sun Hao to abuse the people and a blessing from heaven. More importantly, Yang Du Yu and others contributed ideas, and Xun Yu abandoned the ideas of Jia Chong and others, so that he built a great home, thus unifying the world. Besides, the emperor is clever and wise, the people all over the world are grateful, the martial arts of sandwiches are impressive, and Willoughby's hope is far spread. In addition, the prime minister is wise, the princes are talented, the royal family is diligent in the buffer region, and there are many five tigers who will be full of dynasties. More importantly, people in the distance admire the kindness of the emperor. Which enemy will not be destroyed, let alone the ferocious Xianbei Weikou. Now they're alive? I hope the emperor will seriously consider this matter and make a decision quickly. I am just a humble and ignorant person, fleeing in the cave like a mouse. I just hope to see the grand occasion of Taiping era and Taishan meditation reappear. Although I don't have Sima Xiangru's brilliant pen, I can avoid the regret that Sima Tan didn't see meditation when he was alive. If the emperor takes my advice, I won't have any complaints even if I resign and go home now. I have stated this view to the emperor for a long time, but because I was afraid of offending the emperor, I was granted a vacation by the emperor and was temporarily able to leave the court. I have been suffering from diabetes for ten years, and I am often worried that I will die suddenly. I've always had this wish. I just risked my life to come here to enlighten the emperor.
Xie Lingyun went to the east because of illness, but he continued to play, drink, get together and write poems. A few days later, he was impeached and dismissed by the court minister Cheng. This year is the fifth year of Yuanjia (428).
Xie Lingyun returned to the East and made friends with his brothers Xie Huilian, He Changyu of Donghai, Xun Yong of Yingchuan and Yang Ren of Taishan ... because they appreciated each other's articles. They walked with mountains and rivers, and people at that time called them "four friends". Xie Huilian was smart and talented when he was a child, but he was frivolous. His father Xie has always looked down on him. Xie Lingyun left Yongjia and returned to sharping. At that time, Xie had just been in charge of the Whichever Club. Xie Lingyun visited Xie from Shilin to Huiji and dropped in. When they met, they both appreciated each other. At that time, He Changyu was teaching Xie Huilian to study, and he was here. Xie Lingyun thinks that He Changyu's literary talent is chinese odyssey. He said to Xie, "So smart and talented, but his respected uncle treats him like a child. He Changyu is today's RoyceWong, but he is regarded as an inferior guest. Since my dear uncle can't be polite to guests, he should be allowed to come with me. " So Xie Lingyun and He Changyu drove away together. Xun Yong's word is harmony, and the official is scattered outside the member. The word "sheep" is obsidian, and the official residence is Linchuan, which is very appreciated by Liu Dan, the king of Sikong Jingling. Liu Dan was killed after the failed rebellion. He Changyu's writing level is second only to that of Xun Yong and Yang. Liu Yiqing, king of Linchuan, recruited talents, and He Changyu was promoted from assistant minister to Pingxi archives to join the army. He Changyu once wrote to He Xu, a family friend of Jiangling. Talking about one of the officials under the state government, he said in rhyme: "Lu Zhan is dying to marry. Qingqing (black hair) didn't understand for a long time, and the stars (white hair) came back. " There are five or six songs written like this. So the frivolous teenager spread this out. Describing all the literati at that time, adding jokes and ugly words, this kind of poem is very popular. Liu Yiqing saw great anger and asked Wendi to appoint He Changyu as the county magistrate of Zengcheng under Guangzhou County. After Liu Yiqing's death, court officials went to his home to offer condolences. He Xu said to Yuan Shu, "He Changyu can be transferred back now." Yuan Shu said: "The country has just lost its imperial clan sage, so we should not think of the exiled people." Liu Shao, the king of Luling, guarded Xunyang and let He Changyu join the army to take charge of secretarial work. He Changyu was caught in the water by the strong wind and drowned when he passed the Banqiao Bridge.
Thanks to the capital of his grandfather and father, Xie Lingyun has a rich family and many servants, including hundreds of close friends and followers of his ancestors. He dug mountains and lakes endlessly; Over mountains and mountains, you always go to the deepest and steepest places. Even if there are dangers in Qian Shan, there is no place you can't swim. Every time he climbs a mountain, he puts on wooden shoes. When he climbed the mountain, he pulled out his front teeth and back teeth. On one occasion, he cut down trees from a mountain peak in the south of sharping and walked all the way to Linhai County. Hundreds of people followed him. Linhai satrap Jin was frightened. He thought that the villagers had come to rebel, and he was relieved to know that it was Xie Lingyun. Xie Lingyun invited Wang to play with him, but Wang refused. Xie Lingyun gave Wang Shi .. and said, "It is difficult for a country to be in danger, but it is easy for tourists to travel in the mountains." Huiji also has many followers, and he always alarms the sheriff. Huiji satrap Meng Kai believed in Buddhism and was sincere and earnest. Xie Lingyun looked down on him and said to him, "Immortal should be a literati with aura. You must ascend to heaven before Xie Lingyun and become a Buddha after Xie Lingyun. " Meng Kai hates Xie Lingyun's words very much.
There is a Hui Hui Lake in the east of Huiji, and Xie Lingyun asked to dry the lake and make it into a rice field. Wendy asked the local governor to carry out this order. The lake is close to the city and produces a lot of aquatic products. Meng Kai disagrees with this. Lingyun in Kasper? can't go back to Heel Lake. He wants to turn Huang Hu Lake in Shanpishan County into paddy field, but Meng Kai doesn't agree. Xie Lingyun thinks that Meng Kai doesn't want to do anything beneficial to the people, just considering that digging lakes will hurt animals. Xie Lingyun's remarks hurt Meng Kai, so he and Meng Kai forged a deep hatred. Meng Kai used Xie Lingyun's extravagance to harass the people, saying that Xie Lingyun was going to rebel, and he used the county soldiers to defend himself. Hearing this, Xie Lingyun rode to Beijing immediately and wrote: I have been sick for three years, living in a remote and poor cave, and almost cut off contact with the outside world. I am quietly saving my life and thinking about the rest of my life. On the 28th of last month, I suddenly learned what Meng Kai, the magistrate of Huiji Prefecture, said on the 27th: There has been a lot of public opinion recently, but there is nothing here, except that the people are not at ease. Now I am taking some preventive measures. I was surprised to see this road. I don't know how it happened, so I hurried back to Beijing to find the emperor. When I passed Yinshan City, Meng Kai defended well. Rows of cavalry and infantry, with spears and broadswords in their hands, cut off streets and spy on things. I don't know why I committed a big crime and made him so defensive. All I do is worry and fear. I was lucky enough to be a courtier of the emperor and was cared for by him. If my crime is obvious or there is evidence of rebellion in the article, I am willing to be sentenced to death by the relevant departments in order to standardize the national code. Even under the whole world, there is no place for me to stand. How cruel it is to take rumors as my evidence now! Since ancient times, sages have been slandered, but for a reason. Or not afraid of death and loyalty, or forming a party to gather people, or dominating the village, or being a swordsman and knight-errant, unscrupulous. I have never heard of people who follow the rules, people who want to rebel and rebel, and people who live in seclusion intend to murder the emperor. There is nothing more cruel than catching shadows, making rumors out of thin air and framing people since ancient times. I don't cherish my life, but I can't stand injustice. I asked myself that there was nothing wrong with the emperor, but my stomach was full of grievances and there was nowhere to tell. So I went to see the emperor in spite of my illness and let you judge. I hope the emperor can judge right from wrong, so that even if I die, it will be like living. All day long, I was on tenterhooks, so that I was sick and looked at a loss. I don't know what to say. "
Biography of Song people, translation of ancient prose.
Wendi knew that he had been wronged, so he didn't convict him. Just don't want him to go back to the east, but let him do the civil history of Linchuan and increase his salary to two thousand stone. Xie Lingyun remained the same after taking office, just like when he was in Yongjia County, so he was impeached again by the relevant personnel. Si Tuleideng sent Zheng, Wang Linchuan's agent, to capture Xie Lingyun, but Xie Lingyun seized Zheng and defected, so he resolutely rebelled. He wrote a poem saying: "The demise of the Han Dynasty was exciting, and Qin Rudi was even humiliated. He is from Jianghai, loyal and a gentleman. " Finally, he was arrested, arrested and sent to Ting Wei for conviction. Ting Wei said that Xie Lingyun led the rebellion and should be put to death. Wendi still cherishes his talents and just wants to remove him from office. Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, insisted on unforgivability, so Emperor Wen said, "Xie Lingyun is guilty and should be put to death. However, if you miss your grandfather Xie Xuan, you should forgive his descendants and avoid Xie Lingyun's death sentence and exile in Guangzhou. "
Later, the Qin government took Zong Jishou to Tukou, passed by Xu Tao Village, and saw six or seven people talking nonsense on the road below, suspecting that they were not good people. I came back and told the chief that the chief sent troops to accompany Zongqi to be arrested, so I fought with them, arrested them all and put them in prison. One of them, surnamed Zhao, is from Shanyin County. He said, "Xue Daoshuang is a villager, so he works with Xie Lingyun first. At the beginning of September last year, Xue Daoshuang told me through the villagers that he had done literature and history in Linchuan before, and now he broke the law and came to Guangzhou to give it to us. So I gathered everyone to usurp Xie, but it didn't work. When I came back, everyone was hungry and had to rob along the road. " The relevant departments also arrested Xie Lingyun according to law, and Wendi ordered him to be sentenced to death in Guangzhou and executed on the spot. When Xie Lingyun died, he wrote a poem saying, "Gong Sheng will not rest, but Ye Li will have an end. Justice was forced, and Huo's life was ruined. Sad frost leaves, melancholy wind bacteria. It's not a pity to meet unexpectedly geometrically. It took me a long time to send my heart to my heart. If you hate my gentleman's ambition, you won't get lost on the rocks. " Gong Sheng and Ye Li described in his poems are better than those described in previous poems. It was the tenth year of Yuanjia (433) and he was 49 years old. His articles are widely circulated in the society. His son Xie Fengying died young in.
