When the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty gave Bao Zheng a 60th birthday gift The Eunuch’s Poems

A high-ranking minister with high moral standards works like Wei Zheng day and night.

It doesn’t make sense for the emperor to refuse the gift today.

==============================

Praise for the inscription tablet

Wang Yun of the Yuan Dynasty

Wipe the remaining stele to see the glory, and leave the inscription after thousands of years of practice. Frightened birds circled the cypress trees in the courtyard, still afraid of the frost and not daring to perch.

============================

Titled the portrait of Mr. Bao

< p> Song Dynasty·Anonymous

Longtu Bao Gong, what was his life like? The lungs and liver are filled with ice and snow, and the chest is filled with mountains and rivers.

Serve the country with all your loyalty, and stay in power. A clear name will last forever.

===================================

Package The only poem that Zheng left behind was, according to his disciple Zhang Tian, ??a poem written by Bao Zheng when he began to enter politics. The poem says:

A clear mind is the root cause, and a straight path is the strategy of the body.

Good work will eventually build a building, and fine steel will not serve as a hook.

Rats and birds are happy when the warehouse is full, but rabbits and foxes are sad when the grass is gone.

The annals of history have a legacy, don’t embarrass those who come.

2. A poem about Bao Zheng

China has valued integrity since ancient times, and integrity is of vital importance to our future. As a model of official integrity, I should recommend Mr. Bao. When Bao Zheng, a minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, celebrated his 60th birthday, he repeatedly ordered his family members not to accept gifts. Unexpectedly, the first person to give birthday gifts was the current emperor. The emperor's kindness is great, and the eunuch is also smart. He attached a poem: "A high-ranking minister with high moral standards, working day and night like Wei Zheng. Today, the emperor sent gifts, but it was unreasonable to refuse them." This army made old Bao Gong a "general" He was in a dilemma. If he didn't accept the gift, he would not give the emperor face. If he accepted the gift, he would break his own rules.

Forget it, I would rather offend the emperor than make an exception! Bao Gong, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, also dipped his ink and wrote a poem to express his feelings, rejecting the gift with a poem: "Impartial and selfless but loyal in heart, the most taboo thing for an official is to talk about merit. Toil is a matter of duty, and rejecting gifts is to spread the rule of integrity. Bao Zheng (999-1062) , named Xiren, was born in Luzhou, Anhui Province. He was a Jinshi of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty. He successively held the posts of Tianchang County Magistrate, Quan Kaifeng Mansion, Supervisory Censor, Longtuge Direct Bachelor, and Deputy Privy Envoy.

The incident happened in the eleventh month of the second year of Emperor You of the Northern Song Dynasty. Song Renzong issued an edict to appoint Zhang Yaozuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, as the envoy of the Nanyuan of Xuanhui, the envoy of Huaikang Army, and the envoy of Jingling Palace. The cousin of Zhang Guifei's father, Zhang Yaofeng, was favored by Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Yaozuo rose to prominence.

Bao Zheng was the censor of the Song Dynasty and was responsible for correcting the emperor's officials. Renzong repeatedly promoted Zhang Yaozuo and was nepotistic, which was not in line with the laws of the Song Dynasty. He pointed out that Song Renzong was wrong to promote Zhang Yaozuo, and analyzed that the background was that the harem interfered with politics and some ministers wanted to please him. Bao Zheng's move was shocking and aroused. In the face of strong public opinion, Song Renzong had no choice but to withdraw his appointment.

In the blink of an eye, in the first month of the next year, Song Renzong could not withstand Zhang Guifei's repeated requests. An order was issued to promote Zhang Yaozuo. Regardless of offending Song Renzong and Zhang Guifei, Zhang Yaozuo once again stood up and remonstrated. Seeing the fierce words of Bao Zheng and others, Zhang Yaozuo immediately expressed his refusal to accept the appointment. , Song Renzong stepped down.

However, Concubine Zhang was not happy and kept whispering in Renzong's ears. Caressing Renzong's back, he said softly: "The officials should not forget about the appointment of Xuan Hui Envoy today. "

Above the Golden Palace, Song Renzong indeed issued another edict. But as soon as the imperial edict was issued, Bao Zheng immediately submitted it. This time, Song Renzong made up his mind and insisted on his own opinion, saying: "Zhang Yaozuo did not do anything serious. , can be promoted. "

Bao Zheng retorted: "Officials in various places collect taxes illegally, causing widespread resentment among the people. As a supervisor, how can Zhang Yaozuo say he has no major faults? "

Song Renzong sighed and said tactfully: "This is the third appointment. Since I am the emperor, is it so difficult to promote someone? "

After hearing this, Bao Zheng went straight to the throne and said loudly: "Is your Majesty willing to ignore the support of the people? Since I am an admonishing officer, how can I not care about my own safety and not fight for it based on reason? "Zhang Yaozuo stood aside and was horrified.

Song Renzong saw that Bao Zheng was so persistent and all the ministers praised him, but he had no suitable reason to refute. He was very angry and threw away his hands and returned to the palace.

Concubine Zhang had already sent people to inquire about the news. She knew that it was Bao Zheng who had offended Yan Zhijian again, which made Renzong unable to step down, so when Renzong came back, she immediately stepped forward to apologize.

Song Renzong was still angry. He raised his sleeves and wiped his face, saying: "When Bao Zheng spoke, his saliva splashed on my face! You only know the Xuanhui Envoy and the Xuanhui Envoy, but you don't know Bao Zheng." Zheng is still serving as a censor!"

Bao Zheng wrote a poem called "Shu Duanzhou County Zhaibi":

A pure heart is the root of the cure, and a straight way is the body's plan. .

Good work will eventually build a building, fine steel will not make a hook.

Rats and birds are happy when the warehouse is full, but rabbits and foxes are sad when the grass is gone.

The annals of history contain lessons that should not be shamed by others.

This poem can be said to be a reflection of his personality and spirit throughout his life.

3. A poem about Bao Zheng

The original text is "Shu Duanzhou County Zhaibi" - Song Dynasty: Bao Zheng's pure heart is the root of the cure, and the straight way is his personal strategy.

Good work will eventually build a building, and fine steel will not serve as a hook. Rats and birds are happy when the warehouse is full, but rabbits and foxes are sad when the grass is gone.

The annals of history contain lessons that should not be shamed by others. Translation: Correct thinking is the foundation of officialdom, and upright character is the principle of self-cultivation.

High-quality trees will eventually become pillars, and good, flexible steel will not go in vain. The people like rats, birds, rabbits and foxes in Canglin Fengshi will be happy, but if there is no benefit, those corrupt officials will be worried.

History has left many lessons in this regard. Don’t do things that will embarrass future generations! Creation background: In the first year of Kangding (1040), Bao Zheng became the magistrate of Duanzhou. At that time, Duanzhou was famous for its production of Duan inkstones (tributes). Successive Duanzhou local officials took advantage of the tribute and demanded dozens of times extra from the inkstone workers to line their own pockets.

After Bao Zheng took office, he strictly stipulated that he should only pay tribute according to the required amount, and he "did not hold an inkstone." The Duan Inkstone incident triggered the author's emotion, so he wrote this poem to express his uprightness and innocence, and his hatred of corrupt officials.

Extended data appreciation: This five-rhyme poem creates a glorious image of an upright official in feudal society, and expresses the author's noble character and integrity in abandoning selfish desires, determined to eliminate violence and make a good name in history. The first couplet describes how to behave in the world: honesty and selflessness are the basis for governing world affairs, and uprightness is the criterion for conducting human affairs.

The couplet further writes "straight": only straight tree trunks can eventually become pillars; pure steel would rather break than bend, and will never be subdued by external forces. The author compares himself with "showy thousand" and "fine steel", which is self-encouragement, self-confidence, and very powerful.

The neck couplet writes about getting rid of violence and bringing good health. To write the "happiness" of the mouse and bird first is to express verticality; to write the "sorrow" of the rabbit and fox later is to capture.

The fundamental way to eradicate these corrupt officials and those who harm the people is to "eliminate the grass", that is, to remove the barriers and eliminate the conditions for them to survive and do evil, so that they will no longer be able to carry out their crimes. The last couplet writes about accepting the lessons left by history books and never leaving anything to laugh at for future generations.

The implication is that we want to shine in history and be famous throughout the ages. This poem on the wall can be considered as Bao Zheng's motto.

The poem is solemn and vigorous, rigorous and powerful, simple and unpretentious, with the sound of gold and stone thrown to the ground, full of uprightness and upright feeling.
