His ancestral grave is in Jedi, he was extremely poor, but he counterattacked and became a noble, and his family has been prosperous for nearly a thousand years.

00 There are many strange things in the vast history books. I have heard that death row criminals were involved, but it is probably unique that they were pardoned because they gave the name of an ancestor who died hundreds of years ago... The person who was pardoned He was named Fan Wencong. Just because he revealed his identity as a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, he was unconditionally pardoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not afraid of heaven and earth and would not show mercy when he beheaded disobedient people. As the saying goes: You can only be rich for three generations, but the Fan family has prospered for eight hundred years. By understanding the life of this famous official, perhaps we can also find the way to live a good life and extend the blessings to our descendants. 02 Rich money can’t buy a young man who is poor. He is a milestone in the fate of the Fan family, and future generations will be “transported” because of him. However, he is a “descendant” who has not inherited any wealth from his ancestors. In other words, he is a son of a poor family. His father was a seventh-rank sesame official and could have lived a stable life, but he died when he was two years old. According to the customs of feudal society, his mother should have lived a widowed life in a relatively wealthy family. However, she was a forward-thinking and bold person. When she saw that she could not manage a "home" without a husband, she simply took her children and remarried. His stepfather's surname was Zhu, so he got a name that was easy to remember - Zhu said. Zhu Shuo was eager to learn since he was a child and studied at Liquan Temple in Changbai Mountain, Changshan County. Life was very difficult in Liquan Temple. It is said that he cooked a pot of porridge every night, and cut it into four pieces with a knife the next morning, two pieces in the morning and two pieces in the evening. Then he mashed various pickles and wild vegetables, mixed them with vinegar, added some salt, and ate them with the porridge. Three years passed like this. Come to think of it, this is the origin of the idiom ""to break the porridge". (Puer the porridge to break the turtle) His good luck in life may be considered to have started from Liquan Temple. Some people are greedy for wealth that they can't get in their lifetime, but Xiao Zhu said I accidentally discovered it during the "game" of catching mice and digging holes in the ground. He saw altars full of gold and silver. Just take some of it, and you won't have to worry about getting fame or fame in this life. However, he did a "brainless" thing seriously and buried the gold and silver without taking any money. (Many years later, when the temple declined, he told the abbot to use the money to rebuild the temple.) Even if he didn't take the money, he had objections to his brothers spending money. : " "Brother, our family is not rich and my father has a hard time making money. Don't spend money randomly and study hard! "After hearing this, Mr. Zhu's face was full of contempt and said: ""What qualifications do you have to criticize me!" Which of your expenses is not our Zhu family’s money! "Zhu said he was stunned at the time: What?! You Zhu family!! Only then did he know his life experience. Regardless of his mother's pleading, he carried his sword and walked to the end of the world. " "If I don't restore the surname Fan within ten years, I swear I won't be a human being!" " That year, he was twenty-three years old! 03 The emperor is here? No see! Later, Zhu said that he came to Yingtianfu, Henan to study. Yingtianfu is a publicly funded school. There is no money to study, but you have to take care of yourself. At that time, Zhu said that he was still very poor. It was so bad that I could only eat porridge every day. One day, a classmate couldn't stand it and brought fish and meat dishes from home to Zhu Shuo. Zhu said he wanted to refuse, so he kept the food for a few days. The classmate found that he had not moved the food, and the food was moldy! Zhu said, "I'm really sorry. I'm used to eating porridge and pickles. I'm worried that after eating this, I won't be able to eat it again." Porridge and pickles. " Zhu said he cherished the opportunity to study at Yingtianfu. He studied hard day and night. When he was sleepy at night, he would wash his face with cold water. If he couldn't do it anymore, he would sleep with his clothes on for a while. It is said that in five years, he had never solved " " One day, the emperor who believed in Taoism was going to pay homage to the Taiqing Palace. The procession passed by Yingtian Mansion. The classmates, like other common people, went to the street to wait to see the emperor. Only Zhu ignored him and continued to bury his head. Study hard. When the classmate came back, he said: "Brother Zhu!" How hard it is to see the emperor! Why don't you go and take a look? Zhu said, "When you finish reading the book, it's not too late to see the emperor again!" "The white clouds rogue emperor's hometown is far away, who is playing the cave flute in the Han Garden. The phoenix bird has not responded to the disaster, but the poor talent can still be praised as the wren. I still feel happy when I think about Yan Zi, and I hate the piano and sell it when it encounters the bell. But the graceful sky is not lost. , why should Jiansong blame the mountain seedlings? Look at the next four sentences, Fan Zhongyan thinks highly of himself compared to Yan Zi and Zhong Qi! This is the self-confidence of a poor scholar! (Yingtian Academy, the first of the four major academies in ancient China) The imperial examination went smoothly, and he became a minor official and brought his mother to his side. Later, he was promoted continuously. After promising to the Fan family in Suzhou that the family property would not be divided, he obtained the emperor's permission to restore the surname Fan, leaving his family and renouncing his mother. It had only been five years since I vowed to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan.

04 He died in silence and lived in silence. After Fan Zhongyan arrived in the capital, he served as the school manager of the Secret Pavilion and was the royal librarian. Many talented people in history have been librarians, such as Lao Tzu and ***. Most of those who guard the Sutra Pavilion in the novel are also top masters! The school administrator of Secret Pavilion is not big, but it is close to the emperor! Being able to see the emperor often is the greatest advantage. That year, Song Renzong, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, was nineteen years old. What's a bit tragic is that the Empress Dowager is still in charge of politics and holds great power! Just in time for the Empress Dowager's birthday, the Emperor and his ministers went to the Huiqing Hall to kneel down and congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday. This was obviously against etiquette, but none of the ministers dared to say anything. Fan Zhongyan quit and wrote a memorial saying: "Your Majesty, this won't work!" You can honor your mother, this is a family matter. But when all officials, civil and military, bow down together, this is a state matter. It is detrimental to the majesty of the emperor. "Then he wrote to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the Emperor is already nineteen years old. You should stop listening to politics and hand over power to the Emperor..." After learning about this, Yan Shu, who recommended him, was very angry and said : " "I just recommended you, and you set such a big trap for me! If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about me! Fan Zhongyan was stunned and said: "Ah, I was just thinking about you." I'm worried that others will say that the people you recommended have done nothing..." Later, he wrote a long letter "Shangzizheng Yan Shilang Shu", apologizing and explaining his views and principles. Fan Zhongyan was offended The result of the Queen Mother can be imagined. Soon, he was transferred from the capital to serve as the general magistrate of Hezhou Prefecture. This was Fan Zhongyan's "one in and one out". In 1033, the Queen Mother died. Song Renzong thought about it. , Fan Zhongyan, who dared to tell the truth last time, was good, please bring him back. So Fan Zhongyan came to Beijing for the second time and served as a right-hand admonition, also a small official: he was in charge of admonition and warning, and during this period, the queen and the concubine had a quarrel. During the conflict, he accidentally hit the emperor. The queen was a good queen, and she usually managed the harem strictly, but she had offended some people. At this time, those people seized the opportunity and the emperor deposed the queen, including Prime Minister Lu Yijian. What a big deal! Fan Zhongyan was very upset. He argued vigorously with the prime minister in the court, but to no avail. Later, he wrote a memorial to persuade the emperor not to depose the queen. Fan Zhongyan's wife was very worried and pulled his clothes and said, "Mr. You have been demoted once. Could you please leave it alone this time? If you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about our mother and son. " Fan Zhongyan looked at his sad-faced wife, called his nine-year-old son over, and said, ""I'm going to court this time. If I can't come back, you should take your brother to study hard and never do it again." official! "After that, he turned and left, leaving behind a desolate figure! As a result, while Fan Zhongyan was still waiting to see the emperor, Prime Minister Lu Yijian asked for an imperial edict and directly demoted Fan Zhongyan to Tonglu, Zhejiang Province as the magistrate. This was Fan Zhongyan's first "Two in, two out"! Afterwards, Fan Zhongyan was transferred to the post of magistrate of Suzhou and made great achievements in water control. He was transferred back to the capital and served as Imperial College Supervisor. Later, he was promoted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was in charge of those officials. Fan Zhongyan found that the whole country was too bureaucratic. The organization was too bloated, and Prime Minister Lu Yijian cultivated powerful factions, appointed cronies, and controlled the government. Fan Zhongyan drew a "map of hundreds of officials", listing who was whose relatives, who was whose disciples, and who was gone. Whose backdoor was handed directly to the emperor and a series of reform proposals were made. The government and the public were in an uproar, and they were divided into two factions, blaming each other! Alas, Lu Yijian is a political veteran, how powerful his tactics are. , Fan Zhongyan was still no match for him. In 1036, Fan Zhongyan was demoted again, this time to Raozhou, Jiangxi Province. The journey from the capital to Raozhou was very miserable, and no one was there to receive him. Fan Zhongyan took pleasure in the hardship and wrote a poem: The hair on the temples is silky, and the Zen master is in a relaxed mood. I am sick because of my singing and drinking, and I am worthy of Yunshan's poems. The yellow flowers are appreciated in the autumn, and the river is full of moonlight. There is no need to talk about it. Even the poor man knows it. Yes, there is no need to talk about honor and disgrace in the world. This is Fan Zhongyan's first "three in and three out". That year, Fan Zhongyan was forty-seven years old! Fan Zhongyan's friend, the famous The poet Mei Yaochen wrote an article "Lingwu Fu" to advise Fan Zhongyan to talk as little as possible in the future, not to meddle in other people's business, and to be like a bird of good news instead of imitating a crow... 05 Be kind and selfless, and your descendants will be blessed. In his later years, Fan Zhongyan changed his residence into Tianping Temple to worship the Three Treasures. Fan Zhongyan served as a general and minister for several decades, and all his salary was used to give to others, so when he died, he was not even able to pay for his funeral. His four sons have all reached the official position of public minister, and each of them can inherit his father's ambition and give up his wealth to help others. Therefore, the great-grandchildren of the Fan family are also extremely prosperous.

Guangzhi Yitian When Fan Gong was studying, he thought about helping others. Later, when he became prime minister, he used all his salary to purchase charity land and support a poor family with hundreds of families. Several of his sons asked him to buy a garden house. He said: "There are many gardens for high officials in the capital, and the masters cannot visit them often. Who would not allow me to visit their gardens?" Why do you need your own garden to enjoy it? "Fan Gong served as a general and prime minister for decades, and throughout his life he cultivated fields of merit, did good deeds and accumulated virtues. He also set up charity fields to support three hundred poor children of his clan. He did not enjoy the treasure of Feng Shui for himself, so he donated money to build a school to cultivate talents. Fan Gong was poor when he was young, and later became a He was very filial and asked the Feng Shui master to see his mother's grave. The Feng Shui master said that his mother's grave was a "Jedi" and his family would cut off any heirs. He said that since it was a "Jedi", no one else should suffer it. What's the use of moving the grave if I should die? In addition, there was a famous Feng Shui treasure land in Suzhou at that time, Nanyuan. Fan Zhongyan was serving as prime minister and he was a native of Suzhou, so many people advised him to buy Nanyuan. He came down to build a mansion to help future generations become talented people and become high-ranking officials. Fan Zhongyan said that the scope of his family's wealth was too small, so he bought Nanyuan and established the "Suzhou Academy", which cultivated many talents after his death. He also became prime minister, and there were many talented people from generation to generation. When Fan Gong was the magistrate of Yuezhou, a man named Sun Juzhong died while he was an official. His child was very young, and his family was poor and had no money, so he could not return. Hometown. Fan Zhongyan used his salary to prepare a boat for them, and sent his subordinates to send them back to their hometown. Before leaving, he wrote another poem and said: If there is any trouble on the way, show this poem to him. . The poem says: "" Ten people walking along the river together, warm and desolate when they come, no need to ask about the last name, this is the boat of orphans and widows. "(This family of ten depended on each other and crossed the river by boat. It was warm when they came and desolate and sad when they left. No need to ask their names at the pass. This was the boat for the orphan and the widowed mother.) Because of Fan Zhongyan's help, the entire Sun family He returned to his hometown smoothly. As Duke Fan's official position continued to rise, his salary became more abundant, so he "" used his salary to feed the travelers from all over the world." He tried his best to support the scholars who had no money, even to the point where They could only manage to maintain their own livelihood. Fan Gong's benevolence had a profound impact on his descendants. Fan Chunren, Fan Gong's son, was transporting a boatload of food back to his home when he met an elder who was in trouble. He sold the grain, but the money was still not enough. Fan Chunren said, then you should sell the boat. Poverty, with only one complete set of clothes, everyone took turns to wear them, which was called "Changing Out". When Fan Chunren was in charge of Qingzhou, there was a famine one year, and people died of hunger all over the land. Fan Chunren asked for a warehouse to be opened to distribute rice to help the victims. The county official thought it was necessary Fan Chunren insisted: "If you don't eat, you will die. If you give it again, what will happen?" Don't worry, I will take care of your sins. " So rice was distributed for disaster relief that day and countless victims were saved. Later, Fan Chunren also became the prime minister. Master Yinguang said that the Fan family has been prosperous for nearly a thousand years, which is the best proof that "a family that accumulates good deeds must have more happiness." Their family has accumulated good deeds. Doing good deeds, the Feng Shui of "Jedi" will not work. As the saying goes: You can only be rich for three generations, but Fan Gong's family has been prosperous for eight hundred years! And he can follow his father's style of giving up his wealth to help the world; his descendants will often become officials in the court. This is all due to the protection of Fan Gong. If people want their descendants to be prosperous and prosperous for a long time, they should imitate Fan Gong and accumulate good deeds to benefit the world. Square!
