Who knows that an emperor in Fujian worked for a few days or months?
I. Building Yujiatang
It is said that Shen Yu's hometown is in Xiliwei, Luoyuan County, and there is a library surrounded by water. His name is Yuhuan Pavilion, and he is a scholar. After being an official in Beijing, he seldom went home. His father Yu and his family Yu Zhong live in his old house. Shortly after his father died, he was worried at home. In the second year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Shen Yu took Yu Zhong, a family member, and invited a Feng Shui gentleman to pay homage to his father's grave. His father's grave is located on Lianhua Mountain in the southern suburb of Lancang County, overlooking Ximao Mountain and Xianmao Mountain opposite. It is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and the grave is built in the cave where one of the five tigers fell in Lianhua Mountain. According to geomantic geography, if you are buried in this treasure cave, future generations will be different. At this time, although Shen Yu worked in Beijing's official residence, he was only a small Beijing official. Therefore, this time, taking the opportunity of sweeping the grave, I specially invited this Mr. Feng Shui. Mr. Feng Shui measured it with a compass and said that this acupoint was right and the position was right. The tiger could have crossed the mountain, and it was developed after crossing the mountain. But the problem at present is that the tiger crossing the mountain is blocked by the tide crossing Wuli. The tiger jumped into the sea, but it couldn't reach the shore or cross the mountain. If a tiger can't cross the sea, it can't climb another mountain, so you can't be promoted, sir. Unless a dam is built at the seaside, the tiger can cross the dam and then climb another mountain, then you may be prosperous, sir, but this will destroy the geomantic omen in this county, and Luoyuan will not be the champion in the future. Shen Yudian nodded. Soon after returning to China, he used his savings in Beijing to recruit a group of able-bodied men and clansmen, and spent more than a year building a dam on the beach in the east corner of the county. But because it is a beach, he can't grow vegetables, fruits and fish, so he has to lead several nearby mountains and rivers, plant a pond and plant some lotus flowers. Because this lotus pond is Yu's further study, people call it Yujiatang, which is now the "nine centers".
Three years later, Shen Yu's anxiety ended and he went to Beijing to take office. This trip is really a tiger going over the mountains and whistling away all the way. Shen Yu was instructed by Zuo Langli's works and served as a consultant in the temple. He was tired of the official's advice and read it. Later, he made friends with Cai Jing, and the official was Taizai (deputy prime minister), worshiping Shaobao, sealing Feng Guogong, and then sealing Wei Guogong and a teacher. It is really smooth sailing, and it is very beautiful to be promoted and knighted.
One day, a family member, Yu Zhong, suddenly came to Beijing and gave Shen Yu a letter from home. In recent years, the Bund is getting longer and longer, the lotus pond is getting bigger and bigger, and the landscape is getting less and less. There is sand in many places around, and there are no more lotus flowers. Is it necessary to divert water to the fields to grow crops? But there is a shortage of water at present. Can you ask the master to write a book to the magistrate of a county and let him open a window to allow the introduction of Xiaoxi? After receiving the letter, Shen Yu thought it over and over again. He thinks that if the water of Xiaoxiwai River passes through Xiaoximen, then Jason will be folded next to Gong Xue and then leave the North Gate, which will definitely arouse people's dissatisfaction. As the saying goes, "breaking the law is worse than making people angry", let's do something. So after a few days of deliberation, let's play a word game. I wrote two letters to my family, one for the magistrate of a county, in which I only asked for a foot of water, and the other told my family that the magistrate promised to act again. After Yu Zhong returned home, he wrote a letter to the county magistrate. The magistrate of a county read the letter and thought it was very kind of Lord Taizai. Why not borrow a foot of water? I agreed. After the family knew about it, they opened a second letter. According to the plan, they organized a large number of laborers overnight, and dug a stream to Yujiatang's river overnight, only one foot wide, which led the river to Yujiatang's fields continuously. At dawn, the magistrate of a county was dumbfounded and helpless after knowing it. People think that raw rice is cooked and they are willing to use water conveniently. Since then, Luoyuan City Management has had loose bowels all over the city. ) In the future, no matter how big the flood is, Luoyuan City will not be flooded. Yujiatang stopped planting lotus flowers and started planting rice, and the lotus pond became a fertile field of 10 thousand mu. In order to preserve paddy fields, future generations constantly reinforced dams. Only when typhoons and the Tenth Five-Year Spring Festival were connected, paddy fields were occasionally flooded, but Luoyuan never won the top prize, and there was no official position higher than Shen Yu. Because of this, the people didn't forget Mr. Feng Shui's words, so they made up a prediction: "The water broke in the pond and should be a garden." People who want to remind the Yu family will only become slang after all. So far, Luoyuan is not the top scholar, and Zhuangyuan Square is not established.
However, Yujiatang was built by Luoyuan people more than 900 years ago. This is the first time in the history of land reclamation in Luoyuan, and it has contributed a lot. Its function has also benefited people living in this land today.
Second, cultivate scholars to avoid suspicion.
It is said that Shen Yu has won the favor of Emperor Hui Zong since he became a party with Cai Jing. The third year of Daguan (1 109) is another big year of taking one exam every three years. Shen Yu was recommended as one of the examiners of that year, and selected a pillar talent for the country. At the end of the written test, does not roll call, a familiar name jumped into the ears of Shen Yu, Yu Guangting. These are his uncles and brothers. He knows that Guangting has been smart and upright since he was a child. He is also a dutiful son and another member of their family. Ye ao brown? What about the mold group? What is a ridge? Huh? Is it awkward to think about it? About the drought, the man is a camel pony. He is training in Australia. Teasing and spying? What about Guangdong? ナ宀? Is it worth it? What's your job, KINOMOTO SAKURA? Is the Grey Temple noisy and bright? What happened? Are there two W's waving? Is it worth scratching the bird's mouth? What's the matter with you? What's left of Yu Yiao's brain? This building is official. ? Spend money like water? Children's bristles? Hey? ⑿ Xiao S Xie Mei scoffed at taboo food, but it was not safe to eat. Swing the media? ┛ concubine? Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, Jia Xinshu. Liao бб? Fun at school? Hey? Shun Shao Wei Huan crow, 9? Hey? What signs? Actor? Hey? 102), Guangting entered the exam today, and the name of Libu was among the best, and Song Huizong deeply appreciated its name. Later, he was appointed as the official of Guanglu Temple and was called Dengzhou in Nanyang (now Dengxian County, Henan Province). At the beginning of Song Gaozong Zhao Jianshe's inflammation, he fought with the army of nomads from the army, and Yu Guangting and the city * * * succumbed to death. Only the youngest son of the whole family escaped with the wet nurse, and all the others were martyred. In order to commemorate this event, later generations recorded this history in the biography of the heroic martyrs who died in Bamin Tongzhi.
Third, litchi has deep edges.
After Shen Yu took office, he was not only favored by Hui Zong because of his relationship with Cai Jing, but also appreciated by Hui Zong because of his talent. Hui Zong is not a ruling emperor, but a romantic emperor. He likes to recite poems, write lyrics and draw pictures, and often plays the piano in Chu Guild Hall, leading a decadent life. One summer during the reign of Xuanhe, Hui Zong was very happy. He called the ministers to the Imperial Garden to taste the newly harvested litchi in southern Fujian, and wrote a poem on the spot, in which there was a sentence: "Jade liquid condensed into fairy palm dew, and crimson yarn began to take off crystal pills." Attending this feast, every courtier felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime honor to worship his ancestors, not to mention tasting the most precious fruit he gave him at that time with the emperor, but also to express his talent with a poem. Can you say that Shen Yu is unhappy? As a result, the poem overflowed at the end of the pen, and the tide of poetry emerged. In ink, the poem "Feng He Imperial System Appreciates Litchi" was written:
It is better to leave the mountain after the fire and move the roots to shine in Hua Dan today.
Sail thousands of miles from the South China Sea and give Bixi Mountain a pill.
Seal the value of self-pity and press the ban, and the fragrance will not continue.
In "Ten Thousand Years", the scenery is on the branches, so you can enjoy publicity and enjoy it leisurely.
However, "the scenery on the branches for thousands of years" is just wishful thinking, and its prosperity is like a flash in the pan. When an official grows up, it can't be said that no one is jealous, not to mention being with treacherous court official Cai Jing and getting high and generous by cronyism, which is a bad reputation in itself. Little people have no friends, and even people in their own party are jealous. How long do you think this ability will last? Finally I was impeached and stopped. However, according to the research of later generations, Shen Yu was not a heartless person at all. Although he was attached to a traitor, he did not go against his conscience. During his tenure, he also did some useful things for his hometown in Fujian. He once asked to be exempted from the prohibition of alcohol in Fujian, and was proud of the emperor's approval. He used his salary to pay more than 200 years of ding money on behalf of Fujian for the benefit of the people. Wang Fu, the Prime Minister, wanted to discuss the attack on Liao, but he was opposed and proposed to open up territory, which was unacceptable. Finally, because Huizong wanted to take flowers and fruits from Fujian, Shen Yu's words were inconvenient and angered the emperor. He was demoted as the magistrate of Fuzhou and lived in his own mansion in Ximen, Fuzhou, hence the name "Yufu Lane". (The History of the Song Dynasty and The Complete Biography of Prime Minister China all mistakenly thought that he was from Fuzhou. There is an old litchi tree in his mansion, which has deep affection for Shen Yu. When Shen Yu is at home, the fruit of litchi tree is big and delicious. Shen Yu named him Gong Liang, which is the name of Shen Yu Imperial Library. After naming litchi, we can see how much Shen Yu loves this litchi tree. During the Jingkang period, Shen Yu was once again demoted as the ambassador to Zhenjiang. This year, this litchi tree named Gong Liang no longer bears fruit. The following year, Shen Yu was pardoned and returned to Fuzhou. Litchi is the same as before. The legend of litchi tree is widely circulated. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous patriotic poet Lu You came to Fujian. He may have seen this litchi tree, so he wrote this legend in Notes of the Old Xuegong.
