Ye Li (1242— 1292) was born in Qinghuli, Fuyang, Hangzhou (now Huanshan Township). Not very smart, sexually honest and frank. At the age of 20, he entered Imperial College London and became friends with Zhu Qingcheng. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was exiled for opposing capitulationists. In the end, Song was born only for imperial academy, and no matter how big a person is, he can't be an official. But after he became an official in the Yuan Dynasty, he achieved the first-class official position in six years. Now there are different evaluations in history. On the one hand, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty commented: "Those who have both ability and political integrity are also excellent; Secondly, character is the most important, regardless of talent. After the demise of the Song Dynasty, talents such as Lu, Liu, etc. rebelled against the country one after another. On the other hand, it has also been suggested that when the Southern Song Dynasty existed, Ye Li was wronged and condemned for serving the country, but when the Yuan Dynasty officials were honest and upright, he was a good official and should not be deliberately belittled and ignored by the Yuan Dynasty officials. The following is the personal information about Ye Li that I collected for you. Welcome to read!
all one's life
Ye Taibai, whose name is Yu Shun, is from Hangzhou. Since childhood, I have been gifted and intelligent, and I studied under Yiwu Shinan School, a doctor of Imperial College, as a teacher to supplement Beijing students. When sai-jo went south, the Mongols were stationed on the river. In Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao was ordered to lead the troops to resist. Due to the collapse of Xianzong, Shizu moved to the north to ease the siege of Ezhou. Jia Sidao took the withdrawal of Mongolian troops to the north as his own credit, deceived the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and was able to serve as prime minister again. Moreover, he is more overbearing, creating commons, throwing paper money around and squeezing the people. No one dared to criticize inside and outside the Song Dynasty. Eighty-three people, including Ye Li and imperial academy classmate Kangdi, wrote a letter to Emperor Song, attacking Jia Sidao. He learned that Ye Li had drafted the letter to the imperial court. In great anger, he instigated Liu, the magistrate of Lin 'an, to falsely accuse Ye Li, causing unjust cases and exiled Li to Zhangzhou. Only after the fall of Jia Sidao was he able to move freely. After the death of Song Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Fuchun Mountain. Jianghuai Province, Fu Xuan Department and Xingshi Taishi Station compete to recruit professors from Jiangsu, Hangzhou and Changzhou. He refused.
In the 14th year of Zhiyuan (1277), sai-jo ordered Wei Xiang, the imperial historian, to preside over the work of Jiangnan Imperial History Station and visit the ministers of Song Dynasty. Wei Xiang recommended Ye Li. In the previous letter from Ye Li attacking Jia Sidao, there was a sentence at the end: "The year before last, I was lucky enough to fight a battle and saved half of the Song Dynasty." Sai-jo was full of praise for this sentence, and now he is very happy to hear that Ye Li has been recommended, that is, Li has been awarded as a Confucian scholar in western Zhejiang. Li Wenzhi is going to hide again, and the messenger has arrived. In addition to the imperial edict, he also attached a letter from the Prime Minister, which said: "Mr. Wang was praised by the world for his outspoken advice in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor was very concerned about it. Today, he was awarded five official titles. A man with virtue should hide when he should hide and be an official when he should be an official. They should do their best to repay this special kindness. " Li weighed his plan to change to seclusion, and Xie Shizu was grateful. He said, "It is my wish to be an official and run the country. How dare I not accept the imperial edict? "
In the 23rd year of Zhiyuan, Cheng Wenhai, an imperial envoy, was ordered to inspect talents in Jiangnan. Sai-jo asked him to invite Ye Li this time. When Li arrived in Beijing, the emperor ordered argon Surrey, a university student in Jixian County, to put him in the courtyard of Jixian County. A few days later, he was called to the statue hall to express sympathy for his long journey and said to him, "I have read the book that Qing once accused Jia Sidao." Ask the way to run the country and keep the country safe. Ye Li described the reasons for the success or failure of emperors in previous dynasties. Sai-jo nodded and said yes, stipulating that he would enter the palace for deliberation every five days. At that time, all officials in charge of Confucianism were considered idle posts and were revoked. To this end, Li wrote: "I read the imperial edict of the first emperor with admiration and saw that when the court started to do business, despite the heavy military affairs, it still recruited Confucian scholars." Now that your majesty is unifying the world and stressing martial arts, isn't it to cultivate talents and carry forward the sacred way of governing the country? Confucianism and professors in various counties shoulder the heavy responsibility of educating the people and should not be abolished. Please restore the entrance department and set up a special entrance officer to educate students, explain the way of governing the country, and provide training talents for the Imperial College for the court to hire. Please completely exempt the Confucian corvee. "sai-jo allowed.
At this time, Naiyan rebelled against the court in the north, and the court ordered Ye Liling's army to conquer it. At that time, most of the generals in the army were Mongolians, and they were with Naiyanben and refused to go to war. Sai-jo was deeply worried. Li secretly told sai-jo: "The way to use troops lies in strangeness, not in the number of people. When facing the enemy, we should use it. Since the distribution school is related to Naiman, Naiman is willing to do his best, which will only make your majesty pay his salary. I ask you to take the Han army as the former army, carry out a step battle, and cut off its retreat with a cart to show your death. If the enemy despises our army, he will not defend himself. I will attack with an overwhelming army and be invincible. " The emperor adopted this strategy and achieved great success. From then on, sai-jo even thought Ye Li was a wizard. After every strike, he will be called to discuss things.
Twenty-four years, Tebai Ye Li adopted Zhong Cheng's suggestion, which saved trouble by consulting the Han Dynasty. Li declined politely: "I am a fugitive, but your majesty knows me. I'd better try my best to be a counselor." . However, Yushitai should always abide by the maintenance inside and outside the imperial court, and I am stupid enough to bear this heavy responsibility. Moreover, I have been to the land of phlegm in the past, and I have been infected with foot disease, especially in recent years. "sai-jo said with a smile," your feet are hard to walk, isn't your heart feasible? " Li said firmly, bowed his head and thanked him. He said, "Although I don't live in the post of Cheng in today's suggestion, the suggestion desk is the emperor's eyes and ears, and ordinary affairs can be judged by his majesty. "As for the monitoring of the suggestion and the reports of two southwest stations, it is related to military affairs and the interests of the people. Play it at any time, let it be widely known, and don't follow the rules, so the report becomes a form. I ask the emperor to order all officials to report truthfully. " He also said, "The duty of supervisory officials is to correct mistakes. If they are not strict with themselves, how can they picket others? " . If there are insatiable people who violate the law and discipline, they should be punished by the criminal law organs for bullying the court. "These have been affirmed by the emperor, and from then on, the officials of Yushitai can truthfully report to the emperor.
The imperial court established Shangshu Province, granted Ye Li as a good doctor, and Shangshu Zuocheng. Li You flatly declined to say, "As a minister, it is not appropriate to shoulder this heavy responsibility." The sai-jo said, "The Shang Dynasty used Yi Yin, while the Zhou Dynasty used Taigong. Is it seniority? Shangshu shoulders the heavy responsibility of the world, so please take it. You must not refuse. " Give a cart and a car into the palace to help the temple. He began to formulate the yuan bill law, and invited the establishment of imperial academy to train talents. He told the emperor that all dynasties in history attached great importance to education, and talented people came forth in large numbers, thus making sacred kindness to the people. He recommended ten people, including Zhou Di, to offer a drink, and formulated school rules and regulations, all of which were approved by Sai-jo. Sai-jo plans to move the clans and surnames of the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River northward. Li advised, "The Song Dynasty has surrendered to Dawan, and the people are content with agriculture. If there is no reason to move today, it will definitely arouse suspicion. If a traitor takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will be bad for the country. " Sai-jo was reminded to give up the original plan. Li was promoted to Shang Shu You Cheng and became a doctor of Zide. There was a famine in Huai and Zhejiang, and food prices soared. Li demanded that the rent of Jianghuai be halved and the grain from Huguang and Jiangxi be transported to Zhenjiang to help the hungry. Sai-jo wanted to conquer and called Li to discuss. Li thought: "It is useless for this small country to be far away. If the army goes to conquer, it will consume a lot of property, and the mountain road is dangerous and will go deep into the enemy's territory. In case of setbacks, it will damage the prestige of people far away. " Sai-jo listened to his advice and stopped conquering.
Twenty-five years, Li was promoted to Pingzhang politics, but lijian would never do it. The emperor respected his opinion, gave him a jade belt and 4,000 mu of Pingjiang field, and he was promoted to a big official. Sanger is the prime minister of Shangshu Province, monopolizing political power, plundering money interests and poisoning the people. See Biography of Sanger for details. Although Li worked with Sango, he could not correct his wrong policy. After Sanger's failure, his courtiers were implicated. Li returned to Jiangnan because of illness. Li Gan, the founder of Yangzhou Confucianism, wrote: "Ye was a criminal in chains, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the emperor. Just because of the kindness of the son of heaven, I recommended Sanger. According to court officials, he killed You Guo and Yang Jukuan, who were involved in politics, on trumped-up charges, forced Liu Xuan, the censor, to commit suicide, imprisoned Chen Tianxiang, the official in charge of books, dismissed him, flogged him and supervised him. He also revised the banknote law, deducting school meals, collecting officers' salaries and reducing soldiers' rations; The establishment of agriculture bureau and kapok revitalization bureau will increase the tax on salt, wine and vinegar, and both the government and the people will suffer. What is particularly sad is that the main tree harms Huguang, the sand harms Jianghuai and the expensive tree harms Fujian. He also cleaned up the money and grain, causing people to complain, stealing rampant, and earthquakes and floods. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and changed the wrong policy. People all know that Sanger used the charges of ordinary villains, but they don't know that Ye Li recommended Sanger's charges. Although Ye Li ousted Xiang Quan, she was not brought to justice, and people all over the world often talked privately about beheading Ye Li to thank the world. " When sai-jo saw this piece of paper, he was surprised and said, "Ye Li is upright. As far as I know, how did these things happen? " The imperial edict summoned Li Gan to the capital for questioning.
In February of the 29th year of Zhiyuan, Nan Li also arrived in Linqing, and the emperor sent envoys to recall him, letting Ren Pingzhang take charge and assisting the Prime Minister in sorting out China's books. Li Shang expressed his strong words. He died soon at the age of 5 1. After Li's death, he went to Beijing to make him Professor Jiang Vagina in recognition of his daring to speak out. Sai-jo once asked the Ministry of War doctor Zhao Mengfu, Ye Li or Liu who was better, and Zhao Mengfu said "better". The emperor smiled. "Otherwise, Meng Yan became the prime minister as the top scholar, but he was attached to Jia Sidao, and he was just a' companion prime minister' and he was noncommittal. Li Ben is a Confucian scholar, who is much better than Tao in condemning evil. However, his nature is straightforward, and people can't tolerate him. Only I love him. "
Li has been endowed with many things, and his life is very simple. He once warned his son: "My family has been scholarly for generations, willing to be poor and simple, and only loyal to the monarch. You should also be innocent and cautious, and don't discredit my face. " He pointed to the gifts and said, "These will be returned to the public in the future." After death, these were handed over to the official, leaving nothing behind.
In the eighth year of Zheng Zheng (1348), he donated Dr. Qi De and Dr. You Cheng from Zhongshu Province in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and went to the garrison to pursue the title of Nanyang County Duke and give him a "public trust".
Personality assessment
The author secretly thinks that when people look at Ye Li's words with the moral concept of loyalty and justice in Neo-Confucianism and "loyal ministers are not two masters", we can easily draw the conclusion that he is a traitor and a traitor, and what the literati of Ming and Qing Dynasties said and wrote when Neo-Confucianism was in power was indeed the case. But in today's new era, we should also see a historical fact, that is, Ye Li was loyal to the Song Dynasty when she was in imperial academy, and she was wronged many times after the death of the Song Dynasty. Ye Li has his ambition to rule the country and conquer the world, but she is trapped in the historical moment of the demise of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of Yuan Xing. He made a difficult choice between an official's ideal life wish and being loyal to his old master after retirement. The result is in this sentence: "An official keeps his word, and this official is too anxious to obey the imperial edict!" He chose the former, knowing that this move would inevitably attract the abuse of the world, but he resolutely chose the road to realize his ideals and ambitions in life. Then we also saw his talent, his incorruptibility, his integrity and his loyalty.
