Reasons for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to immigrate to Huiji Palace

When he presided over the witchcraft case of Queen Chen, he made a thorough investigation of his colleagues. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he had the ability to handle affairs, and gradually promoted him to be a doctor of Taizhong.

If the emperor wants to add crimes to the cases he handles, he will hand them over to the harsh prison history of law enforcement; If the emperor wants forgiveness, he will give it to the history of fair supervision of law enforcement.

Although Zhang Tang became a high official, he was well cultivated, interacting with guests and drinking and eating with them.

original text

Zhang Tang, Du Ye. His father is Ancheng in Chang 'an. Go out and give the children soup. But the mouse stole the meat, and his father was very angry and made soup. When Tang dug a cave, he stole rat meat, dismembered rat meat and plundered it, circulated books, informed the news, took rat meat and put it in prison. His father read it, took his words as an old jailer, was frightened, and sent the book to prison. After his father died, Tang became an official in Chang 'an for a long time.

Zhou Yanghou was the first to taste Chang 'an, and Tang leaned over him. And when you go out, you will become friends with Tang, and you will see Tang Guiren again. Soup for Neishi, Ningcheng is better. Take the soup as harmless, say that the big government, the Maoling commandant, rule the Chinese side.

Hou Weicheng from Wu 'an. Take soup as history, recommend the son of heaven, and make up the case. Healing the prison of Queen Chen, he was deeply involved in the party. So I thought I could, so I moved to Dr. Tai Zhong. And Zhao Yu * * * made laws today, and worked in Shenwen. Zhao Yu has been a lieutenant, moved to at least the government, and Zhang Tang is Ting Wei; Two people have sex. And brother Yu. Yu is an honest man. Since we made friends, we have given up eating. When the official or secretary sent Yu to invite him, Yu did not thank him in the end, but did it in isolation at the invitation of his best friends and guests. Seeing that grammar needs to be taken, it is no longer a case, or the official is guilty; Soup is deceptive, and dancing wisdom is the wisdom of treating people. I started as a small official, but I didn't. Make personal friends with Chang 'an Tianjia and Uncle Yu Weng. And column nine qing, accept the world famous scholar-officials, although not in my heart. However, the sun is floating and enjoying it.

This is the literature of Fangshang Township. Tang Jue Dayu wanted to attach ancient meanings, so he made his doctoral disciples study Shangshu and Chunqiu to supplement the History of Tingwei, but the director of Tingwei was suspicious. If you are playing with doubts, you must distinguish right from wrong in advance. On the orders of Tingwei (Guangtun), Yang. Blame yourself for what you play, and thank you for the soup. We should guide, supervise and slap the sages of history. He said, "This is an official discussion. As a minister or above. I use it, I am stupid. " Sin is often set free. When you ask questions, you play with things, and you say, "I don't know what this is for, but I, the supervisor and the historian do it." It wants to recommend officials, and it is too much to publicize the goodness of others. Treatment is a crime of desire, which is a profound disaster for prison history; That is, those who want to explain something and are indifferent to the regulatory history. If you are governed, you will be proud and you will dance skillfully; That is to say, when the family is weak, when speaking, although the text quotes laws and regulations, it is often to explain what Tang said. As for soup, as for big officials, experts also repair soup and pass on the diet of guests. For the children of old friends, the care for poor Kundi is particularly heavy. It's for the public, not to avoid cold and heat. Therefore, although Tang has profound meaning, he has won this reputation. The profound branches are mostly slaves, depending on the scribes. Prime Minister Kōichirō Genba called it beautiful. The governance of Huainan, Hengshan and Jiangdu is very poor and fundamental. Strict help and a quilt, I want to release it. Tang Zheng said, "Only this painting conspires against me and helps my relatives get in and out of the forbidden slaves. This is an example of a private minister, and it is hopeless. " The son is above everything else, his ministers in prison are responsible for their own work, and so on. Therefore, Tang Yi was appointed and moved to an ancient bachelor.

Will be evil and so on, Han Daxing will attack the Huns. The floods and droughts in Shandong and the migration of poor people are all blamed on the county officials, who are empty. So Cheng pointed out, please make five bowls of platinum and cage the world with salt and iron. Dajia, a wealthy businessman, made a farewell speech and became the home of powerful people. He was skilled in dancing and had low auxiliary means. Every time I make soup, the language is used by the state. The days are embarrassing and the emperor forgets to eat. The prime minister takes the position, and everything in the world depends on soup. The people were uneasy about their lives, and the county officials were excited about the riots, but they did not benefit from them. They raped officials and invaded fishing, so they learned from their mistakes. From or below, as for Shu Ren, Cheng Tang. Soup tastes sick, and the son of heaven sees his own disease, so expensive.

Xiongnu came to invite relatives and ministers to discuss. Dr. Dishan said, "Be friendly." Asked the mountain, "The weapons of the soldiers are hard to count. Emperor Gao wanted to attack the Huns and was trapped in Pingcheng, so he married him. When you are filial, the world is at peace. Emperor Xiaowen narrated the Xiongnu, and the north was desolate and bitter. During the reign of Xiaojing, the Seven Kingdoms rebelled, and Emperor Jingdi went back and forth to the two palaces, chilling for several months. Wu Chu has been broken, but Emperor Jingdi does not talk about soldiers, and the world is rich. Now, since your majesty sent troops to fight the Huns, China is empty and the border people are poor. From this perspective, it is better to kiss. " Asked Tang, Tang said, "This fool is ignorant." Di Shan said, "I am foolish and loyal, if the ancient counselor Tang cheated me. If the soup is used to treat Huainan Jiangdu, it will hurt the governors deeply and spare no flesh and blood, which makes Mu Chen uneasy. I know that Don is a liar. " So he went to Caitian and said, "I'll let you live in a county town. Can you capture it and steal it? " Say "no" and "live in the county?" Yes: "No." He replied, "Living in a barrier?" Shan argued that he was poor and went down to the official and said, "Yes." So he was sent to Shanke, and a month later, Xiongnu cut the mountain and left. Naturally, ministers were shocked afterwards.

Tom, Tian Jia, is very nice and virtuous. When Tang started as a mini-story, with Qian Tong and Tang Dali, A accused Tang Xing of negligence and was also a martyr.

At the age of seven, Tang Wei was defeated.

Hedong people are different from Tang dynasty, but they have become a sincere and embarrassing figure in the history of emperors. He counted the things in China literature that could hurt Tang, but not for the land. Tang Ai Shilu, who lives in seclusion, knows that Tang is unfair and makes people report adultery. When it comes to soup, Tang Zhi talks about killing the text, but Tang Xin knows how to live in it. The master asked, "What happened when the words changed?" Tang Xiang was surprised and said, "This is a dangerous item, so an old friend complained about it." I am a master who lives in a sickbed. I see a doctor myself and can rub my feet for living in a sickbed. Zhao yiye cast for the industry, and Wang sued the iron official. Tang often listed Zhao Wang, who begged Tang Yin. Zhao Wang complained about the case, and wrote to him: "Tang, minister, Shi Shuju is sick, Tang is rubbing his feet, and he is suspected to be a big traitor." Ting Wei, time is up. I got sick and died, even my brother, who attacked the police officer. Tang also regarded him as a prisoner's guide officer, and when he met his brother, he wanted to go to the Yin, but it was not detailed. When I visited my brother and learned that I complained about soup, it made people write to tell him about soup and the plot, and * * * changed to tell Wen Li. Things don't decrease. Xuanwei is different from Tang Dynasty. This matter wins, and it fights for poverty instead of playing. Someone stole money from Xiaowen Garden, and the Prime Minister Qing Zhai Chao Xie Tang appointed him. Until now, Tang Nian was the prime minister alone. When he arrived in the garden at four o'clock to thank him, Tang did not thank him. Prime minister Xie, the case of going to the empire. Tang wants to make his article known to the prime minister, who suffers from it. The three long histories are all harmful to the soup.

Zhu Maichen, who started his long history, learned from others and studied in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhuang's help makes people talk about buying ministers, buying ministers' luck and Chu's help, serving the doctors, and using things. And soup is change, kneel down and let the buyer wait. Tang has been appointed as Tingwei, in charge of Huainan prison, crowding out gangs and bribing ministers to look forward to it. Tang was an ancient scholar, and the buyers were mainly a captain and a captain, which were listed in Jiuqing. It is useless to sit for a few years, leaving a long history. Don sat on the bed and met a gift from a minister. Chu Shi, a courtier, resented this and often wanted to die. During the dynasty, Qi people also took art as their right history. Border pass, senior, just violent strongman, official to Jinan. So everyone lives on the right side of the soup, but they lose their official positions, and they still have a long history, discussing the body in the soup. Tang Weicheng has done a lot of things and knows that these three long histories are expensive and often broken. Therefore, the three histories conspired to say, "I made an appointment with you at the beginning, but I betrayed you;" Today I will invade your ancestral temple, and I will do it for you. I know Tang Yin. "Let officials arrest Tang Zuotian sheen, etc. , said tang want to play, believe in the prophet, get rich, and tang points, such as adultery. After listening to the story, I asked Tang, "Jia people have learned from what I have done and benefited a lot. They are the kind of people who try their best to tell me." "No, thank you for the soup. Tang Hao was shocked and said, "It is appropriate. "Tan Xianxuan also relegated, the son of heaven deceives, make eight generations of hatred soup. Soup has its own way, and it cannot be done. So the messenger blamed Don. When Yu arrived, Tang said, "Why don't you know the difference between the two? "What kind of people do you rule? Today, people say that you are tangible, and the son of heaven belongs to your prison. If you want to take the monarch as your own, why do you want to look up books? " Tang Wei wrote a book and thanked him: "Tang has no merits and demerits, but a knife is a pen. Fortunately, your majesty is an official, so there is nothing to defend. However, if you are guilty, Tang is a long history. " Suicide.

After the death of Tang, the family property was only 500 gold, all of which were given away, and there was no other business. Kundi's sons want to give Tang a heavy funeral. Mother Tang said, "Tang was the minister of the son of heaven and was slandered to death. What a heavy burial! " Carried by an ox cart, there was a coffin but no coffin. The son of heaven listened and said, "Without this mother, this child can't be born." This is a three-person murder case with a long history. Prime Minister Zhai Qing committed suicide. Cherish the soup and move your son to the world.

Zhang Tang is from Duxian County. When his father was a county magistrate in Chang 'an, he went out once. Zhang Tang was a child at that time, and his father made him stay at home as a janitor. When my father came home, he saw that the mouse had stolen the meat, so he got angry with Zhang Tang and beat him with a whip. Zhang Tang dug a rat hole and found the rat who stole the meat and the unfinished meat. He accused the mouse of a crime, tortured and interrogated it, recorded the interrogation process, interrogated it repeatedly, reported the verdict to his superiors, and took the mouse and the leftover meat away. When the case was finalized, the mouse was dismembered and executed. His father was particularly surprised to see this scene. Seeing that the judgment was written like an experienced judge, he asked him to learn the judgment documents. After his father died, Zhang Tang became an official in Chang 'an and worked for a long time. Xing Xinghou Tiansheng was detained in Chang 'an when he was the first Jiuqing, and Zhang Tang tried his best to protect him. After Tian Sheng was released from prison, he was sealed, kept close contact with Zhang Tang, and introduced the dignitaries to Zhang Tang one by one, so that Zhang Tang could meet him. Zhang Tang worked in literature and history and became an official in Ningcheng. Because of Zhang Tang's outstanding talent, Ningcheng recommended his achievements to his superiors and was promoted to Maolingwei, who presided over the civil engineering of the mausoleum.

Tian Fen, Hou of Wu 'an, became prime minister, recruited Zhang Tang as a civil servant, and often recommended him to the son of heaven. He was appointed as the censor to handle the case. When he presided over the witchcraft case of Queen Chen, he made a thorough investigation of his colleagues. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he had the ability to handle affairs, and gradually promoted him to be a doctor of Taizhong. Together with Zhao Yu, he made all kinds of harsh legal provisions to bind incumbent officials. Soon, Zhao Yu was promoted to lieutenant, and later changed to Shaofu, while Zhang Tang became Tingwei, and they had friendly exchanges. Zhang Tang treated Zhao Yu as if he were his brother. Zhao Yu is honest and arrogant. Since he became an official, there have been no diners at home. When three officials and nine ministers visit, Zhao Yu never pays a return visit to thank them, so as to cut off contacts with close friends and guests, and deal with official affairs wholeheartedly. He saw the provisions of the law and took them away without examination, in order to investigate the hidden crimes of subordinate officials. Zhang Tang is cunning and resourceful in controlling others. When he started as a junior official, he liked to abuse power for personal gain. He once colluded with Tian Jia and Uncle Yu Weng, wealthy businessmen in Chang 'an. When I became an official of Jiuqing, I made friends with celebrities and scholars all over the world. Although I don't agree with them in my heart, I pretend to admire them on the surface.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to attach the Confucian viewpoint to the major cases of Confucianism and Zhang Tang, so he asked his doctoral disciples to study Shangshu and Chunqiu. As Ting Weishi, he asked them to judge suspicious aspects of the law. Every time a difficult case is reported to the judgment, the cause of the matter is analyzed to the emperor in advance. If the emperor thinks it is right, he will accept it and record it, and publish it in the name of Ting Wei as a law to judge the case, praising the wisdom of the emperor. If the performance is condemned, Zhang Tang will apologize. According to the emperor's last wish, he must name the positive, left and right supervisors and talented officials and say, "They suggested to me, just like the emperor scolded me, but I didn't adopt it. It was stupid." Therefore, his sins are often forgiven by the emperor. He sometimes presented the throne to the emperor, and the emperor thought it was good. He said: "I didn't know that this paper was written by someone in the history of positive, negative and negative prisons." He wants to recommend officials, praise the benefits of others, cover up their mistakes, and often does so. If the emperor wants to add crimes to the cases he handles, he will hand them over to the harsh prison history of law enforcement; If the emperor wants forgiveness, he will give it to the history of fair supervision of law enforcement. If he is dealing with a powerful person, he must play with the legal provisions and cleverly frame him. If ordinary people, thin people, often use their mouths to state to the emperor. Although they should be sentenced according to the law, please ask the emperor to make a clear judgment. Therefore, the emperor often releases people, said Zhang Tang. Although Zhang Tang became a great official, he was well cultivated, interacting with guests, eating and drinking with guests, and taking care of children of old friends and poor brothers. He visited the three fairs and did not avoid the cold and heat. Therefore, although Zhang Tang was harsh in law enforcement, jealous and unfair in handling affairs, he got this good reputation. Those officials who are cruel and vicious in law enforcement are regarded as subordinate officials by him and all obey Confucianism. Prime Minister Gong Sunhong praised his virtue many times. When dealing with the rebellion cases of Huainan Wang, Hengshan Wang and Jiangdu Wang, he can pursue them to the end. Yanzhu and Wu Bei, the emperor wanted to pardon them. Zhang Tang argued: "Wu Bei was originally the one who planned the rebellion. Yanzhu was the emperor's cronies and minions, and was the minister of the imperial guard who went in and out of the Forbidden Palace. He has such a close relationship with the princes. If you don't kill him, the princes will be difficult to manage in the future. " So the emperor agreed to their verdict. Most of the cases in which he handled cases, attacked ministers and took credit for himself were like this. As a result, Zhang Tang was more respected and trusted, and was promoted to the position of an ancient scholar.

Just in time for the evil king of Xiongnu and Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty sent troops to crusade against the Huns. Shandong suffered from floods and droughts, and the poor people were displaced. They depend on the government for food and clothing, so the government warehouse is empty. So Zhang Tang, according to the emperor's will, asked for the casting of silver money and five baht to monopolize the operation right of salt and iron in the world, cracked down on the wealthy businessman dajia, issued a rhetoric, eradicated the power of the merger house of powerful countries, played with the law, and falsely accused him of assisting the implementation of the law. Every time Zhang Tang went to court, he talked about the financial situation of the country, and at night, the son of heaven also forgot to eat. The Prime Minister has nothing to do, and all the world events depend on Zhang Tang. As a result, the people can't live with peace of mind, and the things initiated by the government can't benefit, and the traitors and corrupt officials caught the theft together and were completely punished by law. From the following three officials and nine ministers to the common people, they are accusing Zhang Tang. Once Zhang Tang was ill, the son of heaven went to see him in person. His nobility has reached this point.

Xiongnu came to Han for relatives, and all the ministers came to Tianzi to discuss the matter. Dr. Dishan said, "Being close is good." The emperor asked him what his advantages were. Di Shan said: "Weapons are dangerous things and cannot be used repeatedly. Gaudi wanted to crusade against Xiongnu and was trapped in Pingcheng, so he had an indissoluble bond with Xiongnu. During the filial piety years, the world was stable and happy. Emperor Xiaowen arrived and wanted to conquer Xiongnu. As a result, the north disturbed the people and the people suffered from war. When Jingdi was filial, the seven countries of Wu Chu rebelled, and Jingdi ran between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, anxious for several months. After the rebellion of Wu and Chu was stable, he stopped talking about war until the death of Emperor Jing, but the world was rich and well-off. Now, since your majesty sent troops to attack the snow slaves, the domestic wealth is empty, and the border people are extremely poor. It can be seen that it is better to use soldiers than to kiss. " The emperor asked Zhang Tang again, and Zhang Tang said, "This is a stupid Confucian scholar, ignorant." Di Shan said, "I am a fool, but I am a liar like Zhang Tang. For example, when Zhang Tang handled the cases of King Huainan and King Jiangdu, he used harsh criminal laws to vilify the princes and alienate their close relatives, which made them uneasy. I knew that Zhang Tang was derailed. " So the emperor changed his face and said, "I sent you to a county." Can you stop the Huns from looting in Beijing? " Di Shan said, "No." The emperor said, "Which county?" Di Shan replied, "No." The emperor said, "What about the border castle?" Di Shan himself thought that if there was nothing to answer in the debate, the emperor would hand himself over to the judge for punishment, so he said, "Yes." So the emperor sent Dishan to the frontier fortress. After more than a month, the Huns cut off Dishan's head and left. Since then, ministers have been shocked and frightened.

Tian Jia, a public figure in Zhang Tang, is a businessman, but he has a good personality. When Zhang Tang started as a junior official, he exchanged money with Zhang Tang. When Zhang Tang became a senior official, he blamed Zhang Tang for his moral mistakes and was very loyal.

Zhang Tang was a counselor for seven years and failed.

Hedong, with its humanity, was at odds with Zhang Tang. Later, when he became an imperial minister, he held a grudge against Zhang Tang, and repeatedly searched for materials that could be used to hurt Zhang Tang from court documents, leaving no room. Zhang Tang has a favorite subordinate named Lu Qiaoju. Knowing that Zhang Tang was unhappy about this, he let people tell the emperor the bad thing about Wen Li with rumors, which happened to be handled by Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang sentenced Wen Li to death and killed him. He also knows that Lu Qiaoju did it. The emperor asked, "How did the anonymous complaint against Wen Li happen?" Zhang Tang pretended to be surprised and said, "This is probably because Wen Li's old friends hate him." Later, Lu Qiaoju fell ill at his fellow master's home. Zhang Tang went to see his illness and massaged his feet for Lu Qiaoju. Zhao people take smelting and casting as their occupation. Zhao Wangliu had many lawsuits with officials sent by the imperial court to take charge of cast iron, and Zhang Tang often attacked Zhao Wangliu. Wang Zhao's exploration of Zhang Tang's privacy. Lu Qiaoju once reported Wang Zhao, and Wang Zhao held a grudge against him, so he took them both to court, saying, "Zhang Tang is a minister, and his official Lu Qiaoju is ill, and Zhang Tang actually massaged his feet. I suspect that they must have done something bad together. " This matter was handed over to Ting Wei, and Lu Qiaoju died of illness. Because of his brother's involvement, he detained his brother in the official counseling office. Zhang Tang also went to the pilot's office to interrogate other prisoners. Seeing Lu Qiaoju's younger brother and trying to help him secretly, I pretended not to look at him. Lu Qiaoju's younger brother didn't know this situation, so he held a grudge against Zhang Tang, and let people accuse Zhang Tang and Lu Qiaoju of conspiring, and * * * anonymously reported Wen Li. Leave this matter to Jianxuan. The reduction of publicity has a bad feeling with Zhang Tang, and when accepting the case, he did not report it. Coincidentally, someone stole the martyrdom money from Emperor Xiaowen's cemetery. Prime Minister Zhuang took the case to court and agreed to go with Zhang Tang to apologize. In front of the emperor, Zhang Tang thought that only the prime minister had to patrol the tomb according to the four seasons, and the prime minister should apologize. It has nothing to do with me. Zhang Tang refused to apologize. After the prime minister made amends, the emperor sent an imperial censor to investigate the matter. Zhang Tang wanted to convict the Prime Minister who knew the truth according to the law, and the Prime Minister was worried about it. The Prime Minister Sanchangshi was jealous of Zhang Tang and wanted to frame him.

At first, Zhu Maichen, who has a long history, studied Chunqiu. Zhu Zhuang recommended Zhu Maichen to the emperor. Because he was familiar with southern songs, Zhu Maichen was favored by the emperor, and he was promoted from a waiter to a doctor in the palace. At this time, Zhang Tang is just a small official, kneeling in front of Zhu Maichen and others. Soon, Zhang Tang became Tingwei, handled the case of Huainan Wang, and squeezed out. Zhu Maichen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Tang. When Zhang Tang became an ancient adviser, Zhu Maichen was transferred from the position of the prefect of Huiji to the position of the imperial master, ranking first among the Nine Nobles. A few years later, he was dismissed from office for breaking the law, and became a long history agent to visit Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang greeted Zhu Maichen in his daily chair, and his subordinate officials, such as Shi Cheng, were not polite to Zhu Maichen. Zhu Maichen, a scholar of Chu State, hated Zhang Tang's guts and often wanted to kill him. The dynasty was a Qi people, and it became an official history by virtue of Confucianism. Bian Tong, who studied the thoughts and theories of military strategists, is a tough guy with strong personality. Being an official, I have been the prime minister of King Jinan twice. Once upon a time, they were all officials older than Zhang Tang, and soon they lost their posts, acting as long history agents and bowing to Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang served as prime minister for many times. Knowing that these three long histories have high status, they often bully and suppress them. Therefore, the three long histories conspired and said to Zhuang: "At first, Zhang Tang agreed to apologize to the emperor, but later betrayed you;" Now I'm suing you for the ancestral temple, not to take your place. We know Zhang Tang's illegal privacy. "So officials were sent to arrest and try Zhang Tang's accomplice, Tian Xin, and others, saying that Zhang Tang would appeal to the emperor about political matters. Tian Xin knew in advance, then hoarded materials, made a fortune, made a mess with Zhang Tang, and other bad things. The confession about this matter was heard by the emperor. The emperor said to Zhang Tang, "Businessmen know what I'm going to do in advance, and they are hoarding those goods more and more. It seems that someone told them what I thought. " Zhang Tang didn't apologize, but pretended to be surprised and said, "It should be said that someone must have done it. "At this time, the publicity was reduced and a book was written to report the illegal activities of Zhang Tang and Lu Qiaoju. The son of heaven really thought that Zhang Tang cheated the king face to face and sent eight messengers to interrogate Zhang Tang according to the recorded evidence. Zhang Tang himself said that he was not guilty of these crimes and refused to accept it. So the emperor sent Zhao Yu to interrogate Zhang Tang. When Zhao Yu came, he scolded Zhang Tang and said, "How could the emperor not know? How many people did you destroy when you were working the case? Now that people have evidence against you, it is difficult for the son of heaven to handle your case. If you want to commit suicide yourself, why bother to answer the card? " Zhang Tang wrote a letter apologizing, saying, "Zhang Tang has no merit, big or small. At first, he was just a clerk. Your majesty favored me and made me among the three public figures. I can't shirk my responsibility. However, there are three long histories of the criminals who plotted against Zhang Tang. "Zhang Tang since killed.

When Zhang Tang died, his total property value did not exceed 500 gold, which was all his salary and the emperor's reward, and there was no other property. Zhang Tang's brothers and sons still want to bury Zhang Tang with reburial. His mother said, "Zhang Tang, the minister of the son of heaven, died of false accusation. Why did he want to be reburied? " So he pulled the coffin with an ox cart, and there was no outer coffin. After hearing this, the son of heaven said, "Without such a mother, it is impossible to have such a son." Just investigate this case and kill all three long histories. Prime Minister Zhuang also committed suicide. Tian Xin was released. The emperor pitied Zhang Tang and gradually promoted his son Zhang Anshi.

Vernacular Analysis of China's Classical Masterpieces

Explain the story of Zhang Tang, son Zhang Anshi and grandson Zhang Yanshou. Zhang Tang, who was interested in breaking the prison when he was young, was really good at being an official. The official is Ting Wei, a scholar in ancient times. He once edited decrees with Zhao Yu. The usage is strictly engraved, decorated with the ancient meaning of Spring and Autumn Annals, and based on the will of the monarch. He also helped Liang Wudi to carry out the policy of promoting profits, and his influence was prominent for a while. Later, he committed suicide for Zhu Maichen and others. Zhang Anshi, who is famous for his carefulness, is a corpse protector, which is different from his father's style. Zhao, Xuan as etiquette, led people out of the house, specializing in state affairs. If the industry is managed by the government, it is rich. Zhang Yanshou, who inherited his father's footsteps, was invincible. The history books listed Zhang Tang in the biography of the cruel officials, while Hanshu is a special biography because of his son Sun Guisheng. Sima Yi was very disgusted with Zhang Tang, and Pinghua said that "soup dies, people don't think". Ban Gu changed his mind and said that "soup is cruel, but it is self-inflicted and should have a future", which is really unfounded; Zhang Anshi's remarks about "protecting the country and pampering it" and "full but not overflowing" are actually openly advocating the philosophy of protecting officials and keeping their posts. Alas!
