Zhang Shizhi

Zhang Shizhi lived with his elder brother Zhang Zhong in his early years.

Because the family had a lot of money, he donated an official to be a knight, serving Emperor Wenwen of Han Dynasty.

Zhang Shizhi has been an official for ten years, but he has been unknown and has not been promoted. He has spent a lot of money. Zhang Shizhi is deeply disturbed and plans to resign and go home.

Zhang Shizhi said to others: After being an official for so long, his brother's property has been reduced a lot (long-term eunuchs reduce middle production).

Zhonglang general Yuan Ang knew that he had both ability and political integrity, and regretted his departure, so he asked Emperor Wen of Han to transfer him to be the guest.

After Zhang Shizhi met Emperor Wen, he presented his plan to benefit the country and the people. Emperor Wen of Han said: "Don't talk about it, but talk about things that are close to real life and can be implemented immediately."

Therefore, Zhang Shizhi expressed his opinion on the death of Qin Dynasty and the rise of Han Dynasty. After hearing this, Emperor Hanwen was very satisfied, so he appointed him as the servant of the audience.

When Zhang Shizhi served as the servant of the audience, he followed Emperor Wen of Han to Shanglin Garden to watch the tiger. Emperor Wen asked a dozen questions about the animals in the tiger enclosure. Shanglin Wei looked around and couldn't answer.

The stingy man who was in charge of the tiger ring answered these questions from Wei Lin, who was on his side, and answered them very comprehensively. He wanted to show that he was familiar with the business and answered every question.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty believed that being an official should be like this, and Shanglin Wei was not qualified, so he ordered Zhang Shizhi to appoint a coward to replace Shanglin Wei.

Zhang Shizhi disagreed with Emperor Han Wen's approach, so he asked Emperor Han Wen: What do you think of Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiang, and Zhang Xiangru, Marquis of Dongyang? Emperor Wen of Han replied that he was a respected elder.

Zhang Shizhi said: "Zhou Bo and Zhang Xiangru can be called elders, but neither of them is good at talking. Does this make people imitate the eloquent cowards?"

Later, Zhang Shizhi cited history, taking the Qin Dynasty as an example of the heavy use of clerical officials with mere writing and no compassion, which eventually led to the subjugation of the country, and suggested that Emperor Wen should not be promoted because of his eloquence.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty adopted Zhang Shizhi's suggestion and did not promote the miser.

After leaving Shanglin Garden, Emperor Wen drove back to the palace and asked Zhang Shizhi to accompany him.

On the way, Emperor Wen of Han asked Zhang Shizhi about the failure of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Shizhi told the truth.

Emperor Hanwen was very satisfied, so he appointed Zhang Shizhi as the bus order.

Zhang Shizhi served as the bus order and was in charge of palace affairs.

Prince Liu Qi (later Emperor Han Jing) and Liang Wang Liu Yi entered the court in the same car, but they did not get off the car when they arrived at Sima Gate outside the palace, which violated the palace guard order.

Zhang Shizhi caught up with the prince and King Liang, prevented them from entering the palace, and impeached the prince and King Liang to Emperor Han Wen on the charge of "passing the Sima Gate and not getting out of the car is disrespectful".

Emperor Han Wen had to take off his hat to accompany the crime. Empress Dowager Bo found out about this and personally issued an amnesty order, so that the prince and King Liang were able to enter the palace.

Emperor Wen felt that Zhang Shizhi was different, so he appointed him as a doctor of Chinese medicine.

Not long after, Zhang Shizhi was promoted to General Zhonglang, and followed Emperor Wen and Mrs. Shen to Baling.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty climbed to Baling, looked north, pointed to the road leading to Xinfeng, and said to Mrs. Shen, "This is the road leading to Handan."

Then, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty asked Mrs. Shen to play the zither, and he sang along with the melody of the zither. He felt very sad and sad. He turned around and said to the officials: "Use the stones from Beishan to make the coffin, and the gaps are blocked with chopped ramie silk. , and then paint it with lacquer, can it still be opened?"

The ministers thought this method was very good, and they all agreed.

Zhang Shizhi moved forward and said: "If there are things that can arouse people's greed, there will be gaps even if the coffin is sealed and cast in Nanshan; Worried!"

Emperor Wen praised Zhang Shizhi's statement, and later appointed him as Tingwei.

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty traveled to the Zhongwei Bridge. Suddenly a person ran out from under the bridge and startled the horse of Emperor Wendi. Emperor Wendi was almost thrown off and was very annoyed.

After Zhang Shizhi's interrogation, he was judged as "offending driving and driving, and he was fined four liang" according to the law, and he was reported to the court.

Emperor Han Wen was very angry, thinking that the sentence was too light.

Zhang Shizhi explained: "The law is something that the emperor and the people should abide by together, and should not be partial. The law has regulations. If the punishment is heavier, how to win the trust of the people. Ting Wei is the leader of fair law enforcement in the world. If Ting Wei is unfair , the place will be unfair, and the people will panic!"

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty thought for a long time before saying: "Ting Wei's sentencing sentence is correct."

Someone stole a jade ring from Han Gaozu's temple and was caught by guards. Emperor Wen of Han was very angry and ordered Tingwei Zhang Shizhi to punish the thief severely.

According to relevant laws, Zhang Shizhi asked Emperor Wen to sentence him to abandon the market.Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was furious and thought that his nine clans should be punished.

Zhang Shizhi argued according to the law, saying: "According to the law, abandoning the market is the highest punishment. Stealing artifacts from the ancestral temple will kill the entire clan. If someone steals a piece of soil from the Changling in the future, how should the punishment be?"

Emperor Wen of Han discussed with Empress Dowager Bo for a long time and approved Zhang Shizhi's judgment.

Lieutenant Tiaohou Zhou Yafu and Liang Xiangshandu Hou Wang Tiankai saw Zhang Shizhi's fairness and were very impressed, so they became close friends with him.

Zhang Shizhi was praised by people all over the world.

After the death of Emperor Han Wen, Emperor Han Jing came to the throne.

In his early years, Zhang Shizhi impeached Emperor Jing, who was outdated as the prince, so he was extremely terrified. He wanted to claim illness and retire, but he was worried that he would be punished even more. He wanted to apologize to Emperor Jing in person, but he didn't know what to do.

Later, Wang Sheng's strategy was adopted, and finally saw Emperor Han Jing apologize face to face, Emperor Han Jing did not blame him.

Because Zhang Shizhi offended Emperor Han Jing, a year later, he was demoted to be the Prime Minister of the King of Huainan.

After a long time, Zhang Shizhi passed away.

Zhang Shizhi, while absorbing the legalists' views of "the law is not noble" and "there is no hierarchy of punishment", he also inherited the Confucian legal thought of "clear virtue and prudent punishment" and the principle of law enforcement of "the suspect of crime is given to the people", insisting on the law Sentencing is standardized and orderly, avoiding heavy sentences for misdemeanors or light sentences for serious crimes.

In particular, not aggravating the punishment of ordinary people, a vulnerable group, fully embodies the law enforcement spirit of "rather killing the innocent than killing the innocent" extolled by the Chinese legal culture tradition. It is in sharp contrast to the real Qin and Han "prison officials".

He enforced the law peacefully, making legal judgments as objective as possible and orderly.

Feng Tang
Feng Tang's grandfather was from Zhao during the Warring States period.His father emigrated to Daidi.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it moved to Anling.

Feng Tang was famous for his filial piety at that time, and was recommended to be the director of Zhonglang to serve Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty.

Once, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty passed by the official office where Feng Tang worked, and asked Feng Tang, "Why is the old man still an official? Where is his home?"

Feng Tang answered truthfully.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty said: "When I was in Daijun, Gao Qu, my food supervisor, talked to me many times about the talents of Zhao General Li Qi and how he fought under Julu City. Now every time I eat, I always think of Li Qi during the Battle of Julu. Does the old man know this person?"

Feng Tang replied: "He is still inferior to Lian Po and Li Mu's commanding ability."

Emperor Wen of Han said, "Why do you say that?"

Feng Tang said: "When my grandfather was in Zhao State, he served as the commander of the soldiers and had a good friendship with Li Mu. My father used to be a prime minister and had a close relationship with Zhao general Li Qi, so I can know their status. For people."

After hearing Feng Tang's narration, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was very happy, patted his thigh and said: "I just can't get people like Lian Po and Li Mu to be generals. If there are such generals, do I still worry about the Huns?"

Feng Tang said: "I am sincere and fearful. I think that even if Your Majesty gets Lian Po and Li Mu, he will not appoint them."

Emperor Wen Wen was furious and got up and went back to the palace.

After a long while, Feng Tang was summoned again to scold him and said, "Why did you insult me ​​in public? Couldn't you tell me in private?"

Feng Tang apologized and said: "I am a humble person who doesn't know how to avoid taboos."

At this time, the Xiongnu aggressively invaded the Han Dynasty and killed Sun Ying, the captain of the Northland.Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty was worried about this, so he finally asked Feng Tang again: "How do you know that I can't appoint Lian Po and Li Mu?"

Feng Tang replied: "I heard that in ancient times when a king sent a general, he knelt down and pushed the hub of the chariot and said, I will make decisions on matters within the country, and the general will rule on matters outside the country.

All matters of meritorious service and rewards in the army are decided by the generals outside, and they will be reported to the court when they return.

This is not a boast.

My grandfather said that when Li Mu commanded the army on the border of Zhao State, he used the collected taxes to reward his subordinates.

Rewards are decided by the general outside, and the imperial court does not interfere with it.The king entrusted him with important tasks and required him to succeed, so Li Mu could give full play to his talents.

Dispatch 3000 well-selected chariots, 10 soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, and [-] soldiers who can make meritorious deeds. Therefore, they can expel Shanyu from the north, break through the Eastern Hu, wipe out Danlin, and restrain the strong forces in the west. Qin supported Han and Wei in the south.

At this time, Zhao Guo almost became the overlord of the world.Later, just as Zhao Wangqian came to the throne, his mother was a woman who sang.As soon as he came to the throne, he listened to Guo Kai's slander, and finally killed Li Mu and replaced him with Yan Ju.

As a result, the army was defeated and was captured and wiped out by the Qin people.

Now I heard that Wei Shang was the sheriff of Yunzhong County. He used all the taxes in the military market to reward soldiers. People avoided far away, not daring to approach the border fortress in Yunzhong County.

The Xiongnu invaded once, and Wei Shang led an army to attack and killed many enemy troops.

Those soldiers are the children of ordinary people. They came from the countryside to join the army. How do they know the laws and regulations such as "rulers" and "wufu"?

They only know how to fight hard all day long, kill enemies and capture prisoners, and go to the shogunate to report their merits. As long as there is a sentence that is not true, the judge will punish them with the law.

The deserved rewards cannot be honored, but the judge must be held accountable according to the law.

I foolishly think: Your Majesty's decree is too strict, the reward is too light, and the punishment is too heavy.

What's more, Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, only committed the crime of misreporting and killing six more enemies. His Majesty handed him over to the judge, deprived him of his title, and sentenced him to one year's imprisonment.

From this point of view, even if Your Majesty gets Lian Po and Li Mu, they cannot be reused.

I am indeed stupid, I have violated a taboo, I deserve a capital punishment, I deserve a capital punishment! "

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty was very happy, so he asked Feng Tang to take the Han Festival as an envoy to pardon Wei Shang on the same day, and let him serve as the governor of Yunzhong County again, and appointed Feng Tang as the captain of chariots and riders, in charge of the lieutenant and the chariots of various counties. Warrior.

After Han Jingdi came to the throne, Feng Tang was appointed as the Prime Minister of Chu, but was soon dismissed.

After the death of Emperor Han Jing, Emperor Wu of Han came to the throne.

At that time, the Huns invaded the frontier, and the emperor recruited virtuous men. Although Feng Tang was recommended again, he was already in his 90s, so he could only appoint his son Feng Sui as the man.

Because Feng Tang became an official too late, and because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already over seventy years old when he was seeking talents, he had more energy than energy.

Scholars and literati of later generations usually use Feng Tang to describe "it is difficult to succeed in old age".

卫绾
Wei Wan is a native of Daling in Dai County. Because of her skills in driving cars, she became a Lang Guan and served Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. After accumulating credits, she was gradually promoted to Zhong Lang General. She has a honest and cautious temperament and has no other distractions.

When Emperor Xiaojing was the crown prince, he once invited the emperor's left and right ministers to a banquet, but Wei Wan pretended to be sick and refused to go.

Before his death, Emperor Wenwen told Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty: "Wei Wan is a loyal elder, treat him well."

When Emperor Han Jing came to the throne, after more than a year, he ignored Wei Wan, and Wei Wan became more and more cautious in his work.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty went to Shanglinyuan and ordered Zhonglang to take Wei Wan as a guard to share a car.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Han Jing asked: "Do you know why you can ride in the same car with me?"

Wei Wan said, "I'm a theater driver in Dai County. I was lucky enough to be promoted to Zhonglang General because of my meritorious service. I don't know why."

The emperor asked him: "I invite you as the crown prince, why don't you come?"

Wei Wan replied: "It's really a capital crime, I'm sick."

The emperor gave him a sword, and Wei Wan said: "The late emperor has given me six swords, and I dare not accept any more rewards."

The emperor said: "Swords are easy to be exchanged by others. Are you the only one who has preserved those swords to this day?"

Wei Wan said, "Keep them all."

The emperor asked to fetch six swords to see, all of which were in sheaths and had never been used.

Wei Wan's subordinate, Lang Guan, made mistakes, he always covered them up and never argued with others, and when he got credit, he always gave way to others.

The emperor thought that he was honest and honest, and he had no other kind of heart, so he appointed him as Prince Taifu of Hejian.

During the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the imperial court ordered Wei Wan to be a general to lead the Hejian troops to fight against the rebels, so he made great contributions and was promoted to lieutenant.

Three years later, he was granted the title of Marquis of Jianling because of his military achievements.

In the second year, the emperor abolished the prince Liu Rong, and killed the prince's relatives Li Qing and others.

Because Wei Wan was old and virtuous, the emperor couldn't bear to touch him, so he gave him leave to return home, and sent Zhidu to interrogate and arrest Li Shi.

Afterwards, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty appointed King Jiaodong as the crown prince, recalled Wei Wan, appointed him as the crown prince and Taifu, and was promoted to the rank of Yushi doctor.

Five years later, he replaced Taohou Liu She as prime minister.

The director of the DPRK and China is just keeping his duty.

However, from the time he became an official until he became the prime minister, he has made no achievements and made no mistakes.

The emperor thought that his honesty and maturity were suitable for the young master, respected and trusted him very much, and rewarded him a lot.

He served as prime minister for three years, Emperor Han Jing died, and Emperor Wu of the Han came to the throne.

During the Jianyuan period, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was ill, there were many innocent prisoners who were wronged in the government.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, Empress Dowager Dou still controlled the government and was not allowed to change her thinking on governing the country.

Not long after Emperor Wu of the Han came to the throne, he issued an edict to "raise the virtuous, the upright, the upright and the able to speak out."

The Prime Minister Wei Wan proposed to expel scholars from the two schools of Legalism and Political Strategists among the virtuous literary founders cited. , Wei Wan was dismissed from the position of prime minister with an excuse.

After Wei Wan died, he was given the posthumous title of Marquis of Ai.
