Zetian also tried to write "Shaoyang Zhengfan" and "The Biography of Filial Son" as gifts to the virtuous, but he still wrote several books to blame the virtuous, and he felt uneasy when the virtuous were overtaken. In the second year of Tiaolu, Chongyan was killed by thieves, so Tian suspected that Xian had done it. The Russian envoys discovered the conspiracy and issued an edict to Zhongshu's minister Xue Yuanchao, Huangmen's minister Pei Yan, imperial censor Gao Zhizhou and the judge to promote him.

Shenji then locked up another room and forced him to commit suicide at the age of thirty-two. Then Tian mourned at Xianfumen, demoted Shenji to be the governor of Diezhou, and named Xian as King Yong. At the beginning of the Shenlong period, he gave Situ a posthumous gift, and still sent envoys to welcome his coffin and bury him in the Qianling Mausoleum.

In the first year of the Holy Calendar, Ruizong was granted the title of Prime Minister from the emperor's heir, and was allowed to leave his residence. The five sons of Ruizhong were all granted the title of county king, and they lived outside with Shouli. In the first year of Shenlong, Zhongzong ascended the throne and was awarded the title of Shouli Guanglu Qing Tongzheng. Among the dragons, the imperial edict was granted to King Bin, granting him the title of five hundred households.

In the second year of Xiantian's reign, he moved to Sikong. At the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the governors of the six prefectures of Guo, Long, Xiang, Jin, and Hua were appointed as governors of the prefectures. At that time, Ning, Shen, Qi, Xue, and Ping were all governors, and they all chose their chief officials to uphold order and discipline. Yuan Qianyao, Yuan Jiazuo, and Pan Haoli were all the chief historians of the Bin Mansion and state assistants. They only served for hunting, playing music, and drinking banter. Nine years later, all the kings returned to the capital together.
Those who keep the rituals outside the branch are the king, and they know the inferior ones, especially Qi and Xue. There are more than sixty people, both men and women, who are favored by many, but do not practice moral education. The men have no talents, and the women have no virginity. He often carries thousands of dollars in money and debts, and some admonishers say: "The king is getting older, and his family is very heavy, so he must take care of him." Shouli said: "How can there be no brother of the emperor who has not been buried?" The kings were due to internal banquets. In other words, I think it’s laughter. At that time, the clouds were accumulating and the sun was accumulating. So he said to the kings, "I want the sun to clear up." The fruit cleared up. On the tenth day of Suyang's reign, Shouli said: "It's going to rain." King Qi and others reported it and said: "Brother Bing has skills." Shouli said: "I have no skills." Then Zhang Huai was banished by Zhang Huai. I stayed in the palace for more than ten years, and was given several strokes of the imperial staff every year. The scars are very thick. When it rains, my spine becomes dull, and when it rains, it becomes light and strong. I know this, and it is not a skill." Xuanzong also felt pity for it.

In the Tang Dynasty, the succeeding prince Dan added four ranks, and his prince was named Fei. In the Kaiyuan period, Zhang Jiuling was the official secretary of the Central Committee, and asked Ning and Xue Wangnan to give him purple. The three men of King Bin were dressed in purple, and the remaining 20 people were dressed in scarlet.

"The Sixth Biography of the Three Sects in the New Book of Tang Dynasty"
Prince Zhang Huai has the courtesy name Ming Yun. The emperor's love is rare. When I was just a few years old, I never forgot what I read. When I got to "The Analects of Confucius", "The wise and the wise change their colors", I recited it again and again. When the emperor asked why, he replied: "I really like this by nature." The emperor spoke to Li Shiji and called him Su Min. Lu, the first king, served as the governor of Youzhou and the pastor of Yongzhou. He moved to Wang Pei and gradually became the governor of Yangzhou and the general of Youwei. Renamed De. After moving to Wang Yong, he still led Yongzhou as a pastor and Liangzhou as a governor, and granted thousands of households. In the first year of the Shang Dynasty, he was renamed Xian. At that time, the crown prince passed away, and in the sixth month, Xian was made the crown prince. Russian imperial edicts supervise the country, and those who are good at executions are especially judged by Ming Dynasty. They are praised by the imperial court and praised by the emperor. Xian also recruited various Confucian scholars: Zhang Da'an, a concubine from Zuo, Liu Nayan from Xima, Ge Xixuan from Sihu in Luozhou, Xu Shuya, a bachelor, Chengxuan Yishizang, Zhou Baoning, etc., and he annotated Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". According to the book, the emperor bestowed tens of thousands of gifts. At that time, he was admonishing the official Ming Chongyan for believing in the Left Way, which Empress Wu believed in. Chongyan said that the British king was like Taizong, but the prime minister was noble, virtuous and knowledgeable, and hated him. The palace official may have said that the virtuous man was born to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Han, and the virtuous man was more suspicious. Then he wrote "Shaoyang Zhengfan" and "The Biography of Filial Sons" to bestow virtuous men. He wrote several letters to let him know, and he became more and more uneasy. During the incident, the emperor was in the eastern capital, and Chongyan was killed by a thief. Later, he suspected a scheming plot and sent people to find out the prince's secrets. He ordered Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan, Gao Zhizhou and Zhou Za to deal with it, and won hundreds of poems.
East Palace. The emperor always loved the virtuous and ignored his crimes. He later said: "The virtuous are rebellious and the righteousness destroys relatives, which cannot be forgiven." He was deposed as a commoner, burned Jia Tianjin Bridge, demoted Da'anpu Prefecture Governor, spread his Neyan in Zhenzhou, and moved to Zhenzhou. More than ten people. In the first year of Kaiyao, he moved to Xianba Prefecture. When Empress Wu came to power, she ordered General Zuo Jinwu Qiu Shenji to inspect Xiandi and forced him to commit suicide at the age of thirty-four. Later, he mourned to show his good fortune, demoted the gods, made achievements as governor of Duizhou, and pursued the old king. At the beginning of Shenlong's reign, he presented it to Situ, sent envoys to attend the funeral, and buried him with him in the Qianling Mausoleum. Ruizong was established and posthumously awarded the crown prince and posthumous title. The third son: Guangshun, keeping propriety, and keeping justice. Guangshun became the king of Le'an, moved to Yifeng, and was executed. Shouyi became the king of Jianwei, moved to Guiyang, and died. In Xiantian, he was granted the title of King Guangshun Ju and King Shouyi Bi.
The successor king of Shouli, first named Guangren, was given the title of Prince Washing Horse. During the revolution, Empress Wu was afraid of the disease in the clan, but she kept the etiquette because she offended her father, so she stayed in seclusion in the palace with Ruizong's disciples for more than ten years. Ruizong granted him the title of Prime Minister and allowed him to live outside his residence, so Shouli and others began to live outside and changed his name to Si Yilang. When Zhongzong came to the throne, he regained his old title, paid homage to Guanglu Qing, and actually granted 500 households. In the first year of Tang Long's reign, he was granted the title of King Bin. Ruizong was established, and he was also the general of Jin Wuwei who inspected the school. He was appointed as the governor of Youzhou. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, Lei became the governor of the state. At that time, King Ning, Shen, Qi, and Xue were all governors, and they all chose their chief officials to hold the line and discipline. To observe the ceremony, he only hunted and enjoyed himself, but did not do consulship. Therefore, Yuan Qianyao, Yuan Jiazuo, and Pan Haoli were all the chief historians and state assistants of the Bin Prefecture, supervising and inspecting them. Later, he returned to the capital of all the kings and became the king of the outer branch of the court. He was not very talented but favored a lot. He had more than sixty sons and was unworthy of praise. He often earns millions in negative interest. Or when he persuaded the young master to govern his property, he said, "Why is it wrong that the Emperor's brother has no burial?" King Qi once reported that he had observed the rituals and known the rain. When Emperor Fu asked why, he replied: "I don't have it. When the Queen of Heaven was here, the prince was convicted. In the secluded palace of the king, I was ordered to stick four or three years old. My skin was scarred and it rained before." When he is depressed, he is happy, and when he is calm, he knows this. "Because he cried, the emperor felt pity. He died at the age of seventy and was presented to the Taiwei. Reporters Zi Chenghong, Cheng Ning and Cheng Caike. Chenghong, the king of Guangwu, was not the right person to sit with. He was demoted to Fangzhou and was promoted to Zongzhengqing. In the first year of Guangde, Tubo entered the capital, and the emperor was like Shaanxi. He captured the prime minister Ma Chongying and established Chenghong as emperor, and Hanlin bachelors Yu Kefeng and Huo Gui as prime ministers. The thieves retreated, and Chenghong was ordered to be released to Huazhou to die. Chengning was granted the title of King Bin. Chengcai, King Huang, paid homage to Zong Zhengqing, and made peace with Pugu Huai'en envoy Huihe. He then adopted his daughter as his concubine and gave her the title of Princess Pijia.

In the Kaiyuan period, Zhang Jiuling wrote: "The three sons of Ning, Xue and King Bin are given purple to the king, and the rest are all in Fei. Officials are not more than six bureaus, and the royal family members are still outside." After that, all those who came to Shu from the emperor were all in purple.
2. Li Xian, Minister of the Ming Dynasty
Li Xian was a figure in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, favored the eunuch Wang Zhen. When the Wala invaded in large numbers from the north, Wang Zhen, who did not understand military matters, instigated the emperor to personally conduct the expedition and gave blind orders. As a result, 200,000 Ming Dynasty elite troops were instantly wiped out by the Wala, and Ming Yingzong himself was made a prisoner. This is the famous Tumubao Incident in history. Then, Wala sent his troops straight towards Beijing. The whole city of Beijing was in chaos, and people were in panic. At the critical moment, Yu Qian, the Minister of War, stepped forward and denounced the escape remarks of Xu Youzhen and others, turned the tide, supported Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne, organized and mobilized troops, boosted the morale of the military and civilians, and formulated strict combat disciplines and careful combat strategies. With his personal actions, the Ming army defeated the Ola army under the city of Beijing, giving them a heavy blow and forcing them to flee in panic. Wala was forced to release the captured Ming Yingzong.
In seven or eight years, conspirators within the imperial court, including civil servant Xu Youzhen, general Shi Heng, and eunuch Cao Jixiang, colluded to launch a coup to overthrow the seriously ill Zhu Qiyu and usher in the restoration of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. In order to achieve the power-hungry goals of these scoundrels, they killed Yu Qian, who enjoyed high prestige, in the name of "intention" to rebel. After Yu Qian was killed, his house was ransacked. The officials who raided his house never expected that Yu Qian, as the Minister of War of the imperial court and a high-ranking official, had no extra money in his home except for necessary daily necessities! Yu Qian's poem "Song of Lime" expresses his ambition: "Thousands of hammers have been hammered out of the mountains, and the fire is burning as if it were nothing. I am not afraid of being broken into pieces, but I want to leave my innocence in the world."
Li Xian, then the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs . The relationship with Yu Qian was not close, and there were political differences between them. But Li Xian admired Yu Qian's courage, talent, integrity, integrity and uprightness from the bottom of his heart. After Yu Qian was wrongfully killed, Li Xian was determined to seek justice for Yu Qian. But despite the disparity in power, he did not publicly stand up against it. He knows that in order to defeat evil, he must be more cunning and resourceful than evil. He hid himself quietly, silently observed his opponents, and used the contradictions between them to defeat them one by one.
Li Xian was an upright person and had extensive contacts. He also maintained close relationships with Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others, and even made them feel that Li Xian was one of their own. Li Xian saw that not long after the coup, there were rifts within Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others. He first used Xu Youzhen to oppose Shi Heng, and then lost no time in exposing the plan of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others in front of Ming Yingzong. He discovered the truth about the conspiracy and cooperated closely with the ministers who opposed Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others. In the end, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng were both imprisoned and died in prison, and eunuch Cao Jixiang was also executed, finally comforting Yu Qian's spirit in heaven! Li Xian lived through four emperors in the Five Dynasties. He was an official at least, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and a bachelor. He was honest and dedicated to the public affairs and had outstanding political achievements. He also wrote books such as "Jiangu Lu", "Experience Lu", "Kan Shu Lu", "Tianshun Ri Lu", "Gu Rang Collected Works", etc., leaving a lasting legacy.

Li Xian, courtesy name Yuande, was born in Deng. He ranked first in the provincial examination and became a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande. I was ordered to investigate the locust plague in Hejin and was appointed to be in charge of seal verification. Young Master Yang Shiqi wanted to see him, but the wise man refused to go.
In the early days of Zhengtong, he said: "There are tens of thousands of people who surrendered outside the Great Wall and settled in the capital. The commanding officer's monthly salary is thirty-five dan, but the actual support is only one stone. The actual cost of surrendering is seventeen stone and five buckets. One surrender is equivalent to one person." There are only seventeen and a half officials in the capital. It is better to go out gradually to save redundancy and eliminate trouble. "The emperor cannot use it." At that time, the civil and military ministers issued imperial edicts and would not give them until nine years. The wise man said: "If you are limited to nine years, either the official will not be able to reach full rank, or you will not treat the elderly as relatives, and if you are eighteen or nineteen years old, you will not be able to persuade me. Please give me three years." Follow this. He moved to the imperial examination doctor's school and changed his selected works. The retinue went to the north to march, but the division was defeated and returned.
In February of the second year of Jingtai, the ten policies were published in the original edition, which were: Diligence in Holy Learning, Care of Admonition and Warning, Avoid Desires, Absolutely Play Well, Be Careful in Actions, Advocate Thrift, Fear of Changes, Encourage the Near, and Encourage the Spirit of the Scholars. , win the hearts of the people. The emperor was kind to him and ordered Hanlin to write it on his left and right sides for future reading. Seeking the benefits of chariot warfare and firearms, the emperor adopted it. It was winter, and he was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War and transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He also counted the tribute horses first. The sage said that using chariots, gold and silk to force the invaders would be a disadvantage, and it was not a strategy. Because Chen Bian prepared to abolish Chi Zhi, Yu Qian invited his Zhang Li generals. Transfer to the Ministry of Officials and pick out the twenty-two ancient kings who acted according to law. It's called "Jian Gu Lu".
Ying Zong was restored to power and ordered to be a Hanlin bachelor. He was admitted to Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion and worked with Xu Youzhen on the aircraft maintenance. Not long after, he entered Shangshu. The virtuous demeanor is extremely condensed, and the playing matches are all suitable. The emperor is deeply attached to him. Shandong was hungry, and the money provided was not sufficient. So Zhen and Xian were summoned to discuss it. If you were Zhen, you would be full if you received too much money. Xian said: "If you are worried about being full and do not lend money, and sit back and watch the people die, you will give up eating because of choking." Then he ordered to increase the silver.
Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang competed with Youzhen for power and were jealous of the virtuous. The censors discussed Heng and Jixiang. They suspected that Heng and Jixiang had chastity and virtuous intentions. They complained to the emperor and sent them to prison. There will be storms and thunder, people will be released, and virtuous people will be relegated to Fujian to participate in politics. Before he could go, Wang Ao showed that he could be of great use, so he stayed as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. After more than a month, he returned to Shangshu, and the cabinet remained as before. Emperor Hengzhi was angry at Xiang Xian, but there was nothing he could do, so he pretended to have sex. The virtuous people also hide themselves deeply, and cannot enter unless they are summoned. However, the emperor is close to the virtuous people, and his advisors are always in vain.
I came to hunt near the fortress. Heng Yan Chuan said that the imperial seal was there, and it could be concealed and taken away, which would make the emperor look moved. Wise words and provocations cannot be opened, and the seal is not valuable, so things are settled. Promote the evil virtuous. At that time, the emperor was also disgusted with prosperity and Jixiang's arrogance, so he said to Xian: "This generation is engaged in politics, and people from all over the world come to their door first. What can be done?" Xian said: "Your majesty only makes decisions alone, and you tend to be attached to yourself." The emperor said. : "I have never used my words, but I am embarrassed to see the color of my words." Xian said: "I hope to control it gradually." When doing things prosperously and auspiciously, Xian is scrupulous and dare not say everything, but every time he calmly discusses the right words, he even suppresses them. . When Ji Heng was offended, the emperor asked Xian again about "seizing the door". Xian said: "'Welcome' is fine, but how can we 'seize the door' to show the queen? The throne of heaven belongs to Your Majesty, and 'seize' means it is not obedient. And you are lucky to succeed at this time, but if the opportunity comes first, it will not be regrettable if you are successful. Where can you put your majesty without trial?" Emperor Wu said: "Of course." Xian said: "If King Xi can't succeed, the ministers will ask your majesty to return to the throne. How can this person be rewarded and rewarded? Is it okay to accept bribes? If the old man is still in office, how can he kill someone and depose him? "Yi" says, "When a country is founded, a villain should not use it." The emperor said: "Yes." "The edict from this chapter is not to use the word "seize the door", and it is proposed to remove more than 4,000 people who pretended to be meritorious. At the beginning of Chenghua, those who were dismissed appealed. With his wise words again, he captured Zhang Jin, the Marquis of Taiping, and Yang Zongjue, Bo of Xingji, which greatly benefited him.
Since the emperor appointed virtuous people, he heard everything he said.
Yu Qian tried to send troops to the south to march. Chen Ruyan hoped that the eunuchs would point them out and call them back. Words cannot be said about virtue. The emperor said: "I also regret it. Now I have taken the road, and I will listen to my wishes and leave later." The emperor was worried that the military officer's salary was too high and his annual income was not enough. If you ask the wise to eliminate the old and the weak, you will save money and no one will notice it. The emperor was deeply impressed. There were border police at that time, and the world was flooded, especially north and south of the Yangtze River. A virtuous person plans external plans, pleases the people at home, and gives up all solicitations. The emperor used his words to bring relief to all directions. In February of the seventh year, there was a sound in the air. The emperor wanted to hear it, so he ordered the wise to write Qingci. The wise king is not considerate of the people, and the world is full of resentment and rebellion, and there are drum monsters. In order to implement a policy of leniency, we also requested that the weaving in Jiangnan be stopped, the Jinyi Prison be cleared, the contributions of border ministers be stopped, and domestic and foreign purchases be stopped. The emperor is in trouble. The virtuous ones argue with each other and are numbered four, but those who are in the same row are afraid. Xian Tui said: "The minister should say everything he knows, but he can use his tongue to steal his position?" In the era of Tianshun, Xian was the chief assistant, with Lu Yuan and Peng Shi assisting him. However, Xian was appointed the most professional.
At the beginning, Liu Jun, the censor, impeached Liu Pu for defeating the army, which angered the emperor. Wise words should not be condemned by the censor's ears and eyes. Shi Heng and Xian Qu protect. The emperor soaked up the virtuous people, sought enlightenment, and treated them as before. Every single pair takes a long time to come out. When something happens, he must be summoned to ask if it is possible, or if he is sent to the central official, he will ask. The virtuous people should adhere to the general principles, especially cherishing talents and opening up new avenues of speech. The recommended officials include Nian Fu, Xuan Shi, Geng Jiuchou, Wang Hong, Li Bing, Cheng Xin, Yao Kui, Cui Gong, Li Shao, etc., who are all famous officials. At that time, the emperor was advised to meet with the ministers and if he had any recommendations, he must first discuss them with the officials and soldiers. When the emperor visits the civil servants, please ask Wang Ao; the military ministers, please ask Ma Ang. The two of them are close to each other, so they can do whatever they say, and people are not sick of their expertise, but they are in trouble because of the small group.
Cao Qin rebelled, attacked Xian Dongchaofang, killed the general, and forced him to write a memorial to explain his crime. It depends on Wang Ao for rescue. Xian Mi Shu please capture the thieves. There is so much turmoil all the time, and I don’t know where the wise people are. The emperor was overjoyed when he got it. He came in to see him with his wounds wrapped up, and expressed his condolences. He was specially appointed as the prince's Taibao. The virtuous man said that since the thief has been punished, it is urgent to tell the world to stop doing urgent things, and to speak out loud to clear the blockage. The emperor followed it.
Mendafang makes use of things, and Jinyi official school's unbridled behavior is a disaster. Xian Lei asked for a ban, and the emperor summoned him to give an admonishment. Da's father favors him and makes him arrogant. The virtuous person will be guilty of Chen Da again, and the emperor will call him again. Da was given the title of Secondary Bone, because Yuan Bin imprisoned a virtuous person, and virtuous people were inevitable, and his words were recorded in Da's biography.
The emperor did not hesitate and lay down in Wenhua Hall. There would be someone who visited the emperor in the East Palace. The emperor was confused and informed the wise man secretly. Xian paused and fell to the ground and said, "I hope your Majesty will think twice about this important matter." The emperor said, "Then the throne must be passed on to the crown prince?" Xian paused again and said, "The clan is very lucky." The emperor got up and summoned the crown prince. Xian helped the prince to thank him. The prince thanked him, hugged the emperor's feet and wept, and the emperor also wept, but the slander did not work.
Xianzong ascended the throne, became a bachelor of Shaobao and Huagaidian, and knew the classics and banquets. In the spring of that year, the sun was dim and without light. Xian and his colleagues said to him: "The sun is the king's image. If the king's virtue is clear, the sun will shine brightly. However, your majesty is respectful enough to cultivate your character, to control your subordinates upright, to be firm to judge things, to be clear enough to observe the smallest details, and to be persistent." If you don't neglect it, the changes in the sky will be eliminated and the harmony will come." The next day, he said: "The weather is not harmonious, because the yin energy is too strong. From the time of Xuande to Tianshun, there were too many people in the palace, and there were no officials in Huanyi Bureau. Especially, it is better to return it to his home." The emperor obeyed, and both China and foreign countries were delighted. In May, there was heavy rain and hail, strong winds blew away tiles, and uprooted the trees in the suburbs. The sage said: "The majesty of Heaven is formidable. Your Majesty must be brave to save the country. There will be no luck in the matter. I believe in the mature and the country is in order." Someone asked me to make a book. The wise man said: "There are still people in the inner treasury who have not been controlled. Now that the edict of grace has been issued, it is difficult to save money and use it. How can I do this again?" The emperor went to bed that day. Every time there is a disaster, he will be very honest with his colleagues, and in the early days of the emperor's reign, he will be especially earnest in admonishing him.
Menda has fled, and many members of his party have submitted anonymous letters to seek virtuous people. If you are a virtuous person, please beg. There will be an edict to comfort you. When Empress Wu (Wu Shanxiang) was deposed, she asked officials to kill Niu Yu, and her words violated the virtuous, and there were also those who created rumors to frame the virtuous. The emperor ordered guards to guard the Su Xian family's entrance and exit. In March of the second year of Chenghua, his father died, and the imperial edict was restored. Three words were not allowed, and a senior official was sent to escort him to the camp for burial. Returned to Beijing and resigned again. He sent an envoy to announce his intention and then took matters into his own hands. He died in the winter of that year at the age of fifty-nine. The emperor expressed his condolences and presented it to his grand master, giving him the posthumous title Wenda.
A virtuous person knows that he is the master of others, so he can tell you everything. When Emperor Jing dies, Queen Wang will be buried as a martyr, and he will stop with wise words. The youngest son of Emperor Hui (Zhu Wengui) had been imprisoned for sixty years. Emperor Yingzong felt pity and wanted to pardon him in order to ask for his kindness. Xian paused and said: "This is what Yao and Shun did! The ancestors of heaven and earth depend on it." The emperor's intention was determined. The emperor tried to offer sacrifices at the mountains and rivers altar, but because it was inconvenient to go out at night, he wanted to send officials to do the sacrifices on his behalf. The virtuous cited the ancestral teachings to fight, and the dead returned with courtesy. If you try to use your extra money to support the army, you will be extravagant and use it for the purpose of building, praying, temple, sound and appearance. Frequent requests for money and loans are endless. The story is that the official in charge recommended him to the third-grade Beijing official. Xian was worried about the competition in his camp, so he ordered the official department to recommend two people for every shortage, and asked the emperor to use them. This is the beginning of this example.
Since the time of Sanyang, there has never been a better ruler than a wise man. However, he became acquainted with Emperor Jing from the Lang's Office and promoted him to be a minister. However, he wrote a book saying that Emperor Jing was a licentious person. He suppressed Ye Sheng, squeezed Yue Zheng, and did not save Luo Lun, which is especially regretted by the world.
