Translation of Biography of Yang Hucheng in the Book of Jin
Yang hu is the grandson of Cai Yong at the end of Han Dynasty, and is the same mother and brother as Queen Jing Xian. When yang hu was twelve years old, his father died, and his filial piety exceeded the general etiquette. Later, he served his uncle Yang Dan very humbly. When yang hu was a teenager, he played by the Wenshui River. An old man said to him, "You are an extraordinary child. If you are under 60 years old, you will definitely make great contributions to the world. " Say that finish and leave, I don't know where to go. When Yang Hucheng grew up, he was knowledgeable and good at writing. He is seven feet three inches long, dignified and beautiful, and good at talking. Xia Houwei, a general in the same county, thought he was a genius, so he married the daughter of his brother Xia Houba. Yang hu was once recommended as treasurer, and the state officials called him a scholar and scholar four times. He was recruited as an official by all five governments in North Korea, but he refused to take office. Guo Yi of Taiyuan once met him and said, "This is really a contemporary Yan Hui!" Both he and Cao Shuang recruited him. Wang Shen suggested that he answer the phone. He said: "It is not easy to give your life to serve others!" Later, Cao Shuang was killed, and Wang Shen did not know why he was saved from disaster, so he said to yang hu, "I always remember what you said before!" Yang hu said: "I didn't expect Cao Shuang to end up like this." Yang hu was so prescient that he didn't brag about himself.
After Xia Houba went to Shu, all his relatives and friends cut off contact with him. Yang hu is too old to comfort his family, take good care of them and treat them with courtesy. Soon, his mother and eldest brother Yang Fa died one after another. Yang hu gathered his face and worried. He didn't swim for more than ten years, posing as a hermit who had nothing to do with officialdom, like a devout Confucian scholar. When Si Mazhao was a general, he asked Yang to be an official, but he didn't take office. Later, the imperial court used the bus to recruit him as assistant minister of Zhongshu, and soon promoted him to minister and Huang Menlang. At that time, Cao Mao, an aristocratic township official of Wei Emperor, wrote a good article, and the officials offered more poems to please him. RuNa Hehe was fired for not catering to him, and yang hu was among them, maintaining a close relationship and being appreciated by people of insight. Chen Liuwang Cao Huan ascended the throne, named Yang Hucheng as Guanzhong Hou, and took 100 households to eat in this city. Because Emperor Wei was young, yang hu didn't want to be a courtier in the DPRK, and asked to be transferred to the court to hold other positions. As a result, he was appointed as the head of the secretary.
After the implementation of the fifth title in Wei Dynasty, Yang Hucheng was named Ping Zi, with 600 food cities. Lord Wei attached great importance to clocks, so he was jealous of his talent. Yang hu is afraid of him, too. After Zhong Hui was killed for his crime, Yang Hucheng became a lieutenant and took charge of state secrets together with Xun Xu. Later, he was transferred to the central leadership, and the Palace Zhongwei team was under his command, handling palace affairs, mastering military power, and taking charge of internal and external events. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty was abdicated by Wei, and Yang Hu was made a general because of his great contribution to the construction of the Jin Dynasty, and he was given the post of a regular servant and changed the county magistrate to 3,000 households. Yang hu resolutely resigned from the title of county magistrate and still kept the marquis. The government made a doctor's order and set up nine official posts, and his wife yang hu sealed the ribbon.
At the beginning of Taishi (265 ~ 275), the emperor wrote: "It is the fundamental task of state administration to lead state organs and coordinate the work of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Religion, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Administration. Yang's virtue is beautiful, loyal and frank, pure and talented. He is a talented person with both civil and military skills, and he is very upright. Although he holds an important position in the imperial court and is not in charge of state secrets, this does not conform to the essence that a saint must appoint a saint to rule the world without doing anything. At present, yang hu is the right servant and general of the princes, and he is equipped with his own army. " At that time, Wang You, Jia Chong and Pei Xiu were all famous ministers of the previous dynasty, and yang hu was always humble before them, unwilling to be taller than them. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty intended to destroy Wu, and made Yang Hucheng the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou military affairs, and still retained the titles of Chang Shi and General Wei. Yang hu led the army to defend Jingzhou, opened schools, appeased and educated people far and near, and won the love of Jianghan people. Those who are open and honest with the Wu people and trust each other and surrender are willing to leave, and they are willing to do so. At that time, there was a custom in Jingzhou: after the local governor lost his official position, he was forbidden to succeed him and destroyed the houses of the old government. Yang hu believes that life and death have nothing to do with the house, so he ordered the area under his jurisdiction to ban this practice. The defenders of Stone City are 700 miles away from Xiangyang, and they often harass the border of Jin State. Yang hu felt that he was in big trouble, so he designed Wu to withdraw his garrison, so the number of soldiers patrolling the border of Jin was reduced by half, and more than 800 hectares of land were reclaimed with the reduced soldiers, which greatly benefited. When Yang arrived in Jingzhou, there were no rations for 100 people in the army. In the later period of Jingzhou, his town, he had ten years' grain and grass savings. The emperor ordered the recall of the governor of Jiangbei, set up the governor of the Southern Army, and placed all the troops belonging to the former governor of Jiangbei in Jiangxia area of the Eastern Han Dynasty under yang hu. In the army, yang hu often wears thin leather clothes, ribbons and no armor. There are only a dozen guards in the government. However, political affairs are often neglected because of hunting and fishing. On a night tour, Xu Yin, the military commander, blocked the gate of the military camp with a halberd and said, "How can the general be in charge of the territory of Wan Li? The general's safety is also the national security. Unless I die, this door will open tonight. " Yang hu's face changed, and he apologized to Xu Yin. Since then, he has rarely traveled. Later, a general was added to ride a horse and opened a government office, which was bigger than Sangong. Yang hu made a firm resignation in the above table. He said: "I respectfully saw that Garn's imperial edict came down, and I was promoted to be an equal with Sangong. I have only been an official for more than ten years and have accepted important tasks at home and abroad. My position is prominent and important. I often feel uneasy day and night because of my cleverness and love that I can't stay too long, and my glory becomes sad.
I have heard the words of the ancients: if morality is not convinced by everyone, it will make talented ministers unable to forge ahead; Meritorious deeds will not encourage people who are willing to contribute to the country if they can't let everyone join them and enjoy rich rewards. Now, as a relative of the country, the success or failure of my work is related to the current situation of the country. I should be wary of too much love, and don't worry about being forgotten by the court. And the imperial edict in the palace wasted my hair and gave me extraordinary honor. What can I do for it? How can I feel at ease? Living in a disproportionate high position will soon fall, and it will be impossible to keep the humble abode of our ancestors by then. To disobey the imperial edict is to violate the majesty of the son of heaven; It's too difficult to do what you want to do. In ancient times, there was a way to know what you knew and what you had to do. On the minister's day, you can enter if you can, and stop if you can't. Although I am a villain, I will use the precepts of my predecessors and never forget this meaning. It has been eight years since the surrender of gold to the world. Although the son of heaven sat on the side seat and recruited talents, the rural bitches missed everything. However, I can't recommend sages and meritorious people to let your majesty know that there are many people who are better than ministers, and there are still many wise people who have not entered the official career. If there are sages like Fu Shuo who are forgotten in the ranks of wall builders, talents like Lu Shang who are forgotten in the toast fishing ground, and negotiators from the DPRK and China who don't waste ministers, they will be noble and innocent. Isn't this a great loss? Although I have been sneaking around in my official position for a long time, I have never won the trust of the court as I do today, and I am on an equal footing with the Prime Minister. Moreover, although what I have seen is narrow, Dr. Li Xi, a doctor of Guanglu, has a noble character and is fair and upright; Lu Zhi, a doctor of Guanglu, leads an honest and clean life, being harmonious but different; Dr. Guanglu Lee Lyle is honest, simple and frank. He served the country in the imperial court and kept the ceremony of monarch and minister until the end of his life. Although they have held important positions at home and abroad and are as clean and simple as poor families, they have not won my favor. How can we meet the expectations of the world and add a little light to the sun and moon? Therefore, I am determined to keep this festival going. I don't want to get a high position. Nowadays, the road to world reunification is not smooth, and border wars occur from time to time. Begging to keep their original posts, the envoys can quickly return to Jingzhou to defend the border, otherwise staying in Beijing for a long time will inevitably be thoughtless when dealing with the enemy. Sometimes you can't take away your ambition. "Emperor Wu did not accept yang hu's request.
After the commander-in-chief of Dongling in Soochow returned to Jingzhou, he intervened to explain the city's gold reduction, Wu intervened to explain the resistance to land attack, and the emperor intervened to explain the rescue. Yang hu led fifty thousand troops from Jiangling and sent Yang Zhaozuo, the secretariat of Jingzhou, as the vanguard to attack Lu Kang. As a result, he didn't win and was finally captured by Lu Kang. A minister told the emperor, "yang hu led more than 80,000 troops, while Wu Jun only had 30,000. Yang hu held his ground in Jiangling and prepared offensive and defensive weapons for the thieves. However, only Yang Zhao was sent to the dangerous place, and the serenade failed to provide food and grass, which led to a great defeat of our army. Yang hu disobeyed the imperial edict and had no general's moral integrity, so he should be removed from his official position and Liu Hou returned to his official position. " So the emperor reduced yang hu to General Pingnan for the crime of losing the army, and Yang Zhao was exempted from Shu Ren. In view of the fact that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Meng Xianzi of the State of Lu was imprisoned in the State of Wu, but Zheng was afraid, while the weak State of the State of Qi and Yan was afraid to take it in Dongyang, Yang Hucheng occupied a dangerous terrain, built five new cities, controlled a large area of fertile land, and gained a lot of wealth from the people of Wu. To the west of Stone Town Wu, it became the land of Jin State.
Since then, people from Wu have been coming to defect in an endless stream. Yang even told Xiu De to appease the people of Wu, who had the ambition to annex Wu Dong. Every time we fight with the Wu people, we always set a date first to avoid a sudden attack. If the generals offer cunning schemes, yang hu will make them drink and get them drunk, so that they can't keep their promises. Someone captured two children of Wu in the army, and yang hu sent them home. Later, generals Xia Xiang and Shao Qi came forward to surrender, and the father of these two children led their men to surrender together. General Wu and Pan Jing entered the customs and were hunted by Yang Hucheng. Yang hu thanked them for their loyalty to the country and gave them a present at the funeral. Chen and Pan's children came to receive the funeral, and Yang was polite and sent them home. Wu Pai Deng Zhi went to Xiakou to plunder, and Yang sent someone to capture him alive, then dismissed him and let him go back. Deng Xiang thanked yang hu for his kindness, and led a great army to fall to Jin.
Yang hu sometimes marched into the territory of the State of Wu, and cut down the grain in the field to make food rations. Every time, he calculated the value of grain and sent some silk to Lord abel tamata as compensation. Every time we gather at the Jianghan border to hunt, we have never entered Wu's territory. When hunting, all animals shot and wounded by the Wu people fled to the territory of the Jin people, were captured by the Jin people, and were returned to the Wu people as they were. Therefore, the people of Wu believed in Yang and worshipped him very much, calling him Yang Gong instead of calling him by his first name. Yang and Lu Kang confronted each other, and messengers came and went. Lu Kang praised Yang for being highly valued, although neither Le Yi nor Zhuge Liang could surpass him. Once, when Lu Kang was ill, Yang gave him a pair of medicine and took it without doubt. Many people advised Lu Kang not to take this medicine. Say, "How can you use poison to harm people?" At that time, people thought that Huayuan and Zifan, trusted by their enemies in the Spring and Autumn Period, had been rediscovered in the world. Lu Kang often warned the garrison soldiers: "Yang Hucheng is committed to serving people with virtue. If we only use violence to invade, we will defeat the enemy without fighting. It's better to keep the border, and don't fight for small profits. " When Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu, heard that the border between the two countries had been reconciled, he asked and replied, "There is no faith between a township and a town, let alone a big country." If I don't talk about loyalty, it is to promote yang hu's virtue and prestige, and it won't hurt him at all. " Yang hu is honest and selfless, and hates evil. Xun Xu and Feng both hate him. Yang hu's distant nephew Wang Yan once told this story to yang hu. His words were flowery and eloquent, but yang hu disagreed with him. Rebecca was so angry that she hugged her skirt and left. Yang hu turned to the guest and said, "Wang Yan has a great reputation and high status at present, but this man must have ruined the fashion of a generation." According to the military law, Yang wanted to behead Wang Yan's younger brother Wang Rong, so both Wang Rong and Wang Yan hated Yang's guts. When they talk to people, they often denigrate yang hu. At that time, there was a popular proverb: "two kings are in power, and sheep have no virtue."
In the early years of Xianning (275 ~ 280), yang hu was appointed as the general of the Southern Expedition and the third division of Kaifu Yitong, and he could directly recommend and select talents. Previously, Yang Hucheng thought that cutting Wu would take advantage of the favorable terrain in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and he heard a Wu nursery rhyme: "A child floats across the river with a knife, not afraid of beasts on the shore, but afraid of dragons in the water." He said: "This must mean that the conquest of Wu must be the success of the water army, just to consider who to name in nursery rhymes." At that time, it happened that ieee fellow, the secretariat of Yizhou, was called to Beijing to be a big farmer. Yang hu knew that Wang Jun could be the great task of destroying Wu, and Wang Jun's nickname was Atung. So he left Wang Jun to lead the troops in Yizhou and named General Long Xiang. He ordered Wang Jun to build ships and prepare to destroy Wu in the lower reaches. Yang Hucheng repaired armor weapons and trained foot soldiers to prepare for the destruction of Wu from all aspects. Then he said to the emperor, "The first emperor obeyed God's will, Xiping Bashu, Nanhe Sunwu, and the people in the sea were able to rest and feel at ease. However, Wu broke his promise, which led to another border war. Although the country's fortune is determined by heaven, its success must depend on man-made, Soochow will not be destroyed, and the foot soldiers and the people will not be at peace. Accomplishing the great cause of reunification is also a feat of Emperor Guangda, and it is a measure to achieve inaction. Yao's attack on fresh water and Shun's levy of three seedlings are all for the sake of family harmony, stopping the mutiny and the people. By then, everyone in the world thought that Wu should be destroyed at the same time, and Shu had been destroyed for thirteen years. This is a cycle, and the day of the destruction of Wu should be today. And those who talk about it often say that Wu Chu was finally conquered in prosperous times and became strong in troubled times. This is the time for princes to argue. Today, the world is unified and cannot be compared with ancient times. Some statements only apply to truth, not knowing contingency, so there are many people who make strategies and few people who can make decisions. Any country that obstructs its survival means that its strength is similar to that of an enemy country and it has the strength to persist. If the status is different, the strength is very different, and Na Zhi's stratagem can't save it. Dangerous terrain cannot be protected. The terrain of Shu is not dangerous. It is connected with Yun Ni on the high mountain, but there is no sun or moon in the deep valley. Passing through the pass is dangerous and impossible to stop.
However, when we marched to destroy Shu, it seemed that Shu didn't even have a fence. Our army raised the flag, killed tens of thousands of enemies, swept through Shu and took Chengdu at the gates. Shu soldiers in Hanzhong are as afraid to move as birds in their nests. This is not because Shu people are unwilling to fight, but because they are not strong enough to compete with our army. When Liu Chan surrendered, the officers and men of the Shu battalions quietly dispersed. At present, the difficulty of crossing the Yangtze River and Huaihe River will not exceed Jiange, the danger of mountains and rivers will not exceed Minshan Hanshui, Sun Hao's tyranny will exceed, the poverty of the people of Wu will be worse than Bashu, Daikin's army will be more than last life, and its pay and equipment will be more than in the past. The soldiers did not take this opportunity to pacify Wu, but stationed troops according to the danger, which made the soldiers work day and night in the protracted war corvee. This situation can't last long, and we should decide to unify the four seas in time. If Liang and Yizhou are led by land and water to the east, Jingchu army will attack Jiangling, Pingnan and Yuzhou army will attack Xiakou, and Xu, Yang, Qing and Yanzhou army will March into Moling, beating drums and waving flags as suspected troops, marching in all directions, and it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. With the southern corner of Wu Zaidong, it is inevitable that the troops will be scattered and people will panic, and all kinds of military supplies will be difficult to prepare. At this point, the Pakistani and Chinese armies went down the river and headed straight for the empty hinterland. When one person falls, the whole area will shake. Wu's territory is along the river, and there is no distinction between before and after. Things are thousands of miles away, fortified everywhere, and the battlefield is vast, so it is impossible to rest. Sun Hao acted rashly and was suspicious of his subordinates. Famous officials will lose confidence, so people like Sun Xiu are afraid of threats and surrender. The general is suspicious of the imperial court, and the foot soldiers are trapped in the battlefield. Without a plan to protect the country and benefit the people, people are distracted. Usually, they have the intention of betrayal. Once Enemy at the Gates, someone will inevitably respond to surrender. Predictably, in the end, Qixin will not do its best. Wu people do things quickly but not for long. Bows, crossbows, halberds and shields are not as good as those in the Central Plains. Only water war is good for them. But as soon as our army entered the territory of Wu, the Yangtze River was not exclusive to Wu Jun, and Wu Jun turned back to protect the city, which was a loss of its length.
If the Jin army goes deep into the enemy country and stays away from the rear, it will have the determination to fight to the death; Wu people fight at home, and once defeated, they will have the idea of retreating to the city. In this way, the war of peace and peace was quickly won. "The emperor wanted to think, or accept the opinion of yang hu. At this time, it suffered repeated failures of Jin in Qin Liang. Yang Hucheng also said to the emperor, "When Wu Dong settles down, the conference semifinals will naturally settle down. At present, we should only complete the great cause of destroying Wu quickly! "When the DPRK discussed this matter, there were many different opinions from yang hu. Yang hu sighed, "There are always seven or eight unpleasant things in the world. At present, some people have been paying and not taking. How can they not let future people of insight lead to regret? "Since then, the emperor wrote to Nanwuyang, Mou,, Pingyang in Taishan County as Nancheng County, and named yang hu as Hou, a prime minister with the same status as the county magistrate. Yang Hucheng resigned, saying, "In the past, Sean resigned from his post and 30,000 households were granted land, but only 10,000 households were left here. Emperor gaozu got his wish. When I was the first emperor, I accepted the fief of Ju Ping. How can we accept a heavier title and be criticized by officialdom? "Emperor Wu decided not to accept this seal and agreed.
Every time yang hu was promoted and reused by the emperor, he often held a calm attitude of concession, and his sincere heart was well known all over the world. His moral interests are usually outside the official position. So fame and virtue spread far and near, and it was obvious to people inside and outside the court that yang hu should be the prime minister. However, Emperor Wu considered sabotaging Wu Zhi's plan and entrusted the southeast military and political affairs to yang hu, thus shelving the minister's opinions. Yang hu served in Wei and Jin Dynasties. He holds state secrets and asks him for advice on major initiatives, but the dispute over power and interests has nothing to do with him. His good advice and honest remarks were later burned, so the world seldom knew them. I don't know who he recommended. Some people think that yang hu is too cautious to keep a secret. Yang hu explained, "How can you say that? Now most people confide in you, as if they are very close. When they go out, they lie and speak ill of each other. I'm afraid I haven't done it yet. Isn't it a shame not to recommend talented people in important positions? Besides, the recommended person received the position of the court, and I thank the recommended person, and I don't want to do it. " Yang hu's son-in-law advised yang hu: "Isn't it good to buy some real estate, so that you can have a home after leaving office and have a dependence in the future?" Yang hu didn't answer at that time, and told his children afterwards: "This statement means that you know one and don't know the other.
As a person and a minister, running a private enterprise is contrary to official business, which is a very chaotic practice. You should remember my words. "Yang Hucheng wrote to his younger brother Yang." After Wu Dongping decided, I should put on a hermit's horn scarf and go back to my hometown to build a coffin grave. How can a poor man reach an important position without being accused of being in power? The sparseness of abandoning officials and returning to agriculture in the Han Dynasty is my example. "yang hu likes to travel, sunny, will visit the fairy mountain in the south of Xiangyang, drinking and writing poems all day. On one occasion, yang hu sincerely sighed and said to Zou Zhan, who is engaged in the work of corps commander. This mountain has existed since the universe came into being. Like you and me, many noble scholars have climbed this mountain for fun since ancient times, but they have all been submerged. It hurts to think about it. If I know after my death, my soul will climb this mountain again. Zou Zhan said, "You are an old man with great virtue, and your achievements and reputation will last forever like a fairy mountain. As for the people we are waiting for, just like you said, they will be submerged! "Yang Hu's crusade against the thief Wu was active, so he should increase the title and fief, so he asked the emperor to give his uncle Cai the title and fief and he should increase it. So the emperor wrote a letter to Cai to tackle the problem and take three hundred households in the food city.
Wu people invaded Yiyang and Jiangxia and plundered the population. Emperor Wu sent courtiers with letters to ask Yang Hucheng why he didn't pursue Wu thieves and planned to move the seat of the state capital to the border. Yang hu said to the courtiers, "Jiangxia is 800 miles away from Xiangyang. Knowing that the thief has been gone for a few days, how can I save the people? " I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let the army run back and forth just to get away with it. Once upon a time, Wei Wudi set up a viceroy, which was generally close to the state capital, because the army should be concentrated to avoid dispersion. On the border, there are enemies on one side and me on the other. Just watch the border carefully. This is a useful lesson for ancient people. If you frequently move to the location of the state capital, the enemy will be unpredictable and it will be difficult to determine where the state capital should be. "Angel can't ask yang hu. Yang hu is seriously ill in bed and requests to return to Beijing. When he arrived in Luoyang, he met his sister, Empress Jingxian. She died and went to the funeral. This is very sad. The imperial edict was issued in the palace, allowing Yang Hucheng to enter the temple in spite of illness, sitting in a chariot and not bowing down, which was a special courtesy given by the emperor. When sitting with the emperor, state the plan of cutting Wu face to face. Emperor Wu thought that yang hu was seriously ill and should not appear before the court often. He sent a secretary to Zhang Hua to ask yang hu about the plan of cutting Wu. Yang hu said to Zhang Hua, "Today, the Lord has the reputation of receiving Zen, but his merits and demerits have not been known to the world. The tyranny of the people of Wu has reached the extreme. At this time, it is possible to defeat the enemy without fighting. To unify the world and establish culture and education, the master can be compared with Yao and Shun, while the lieutenant general, such as Miracle, is a once-in-a-century event. If we miss this opportunity, Sun Hao will die unfortunately, and the people of Wu will establish a wise monarch. Although there are millions of troops, it is difficult to cross the Yangtze River. Isn't this a future trouble? " Zhang Hua appreciates yang hu's idea. Yang hu said to Zhang Hua, "It is you who can realize my wish! "Emperor Wu intends to invite Yang to get sick and lead the army of General Wu. Yang Hu said, "I don't have to take part in taking Wu personally, but I have to worry about the governance of the holy family after Wu Heping! I dare not pretend to be famous. If my life is coming to an end, I should entrust my unfinished business to others, hoping to choose this person carefully. "yang hu's illness worsened, recommend Du Yu instead of yourself. He died soon at the age of 58.
Emperor Wu mourned and wept bitterly. At that time, the climate was cold, and the tears of Emperor Wu hung all over his temples and turned into ice beads. Jingxiang people are on market day. When they heard the news of yang hu's death, all the people in the city wept bitterly and went on strike to show their condolences. The streets and alleys are crying. The Dongwu border guards also mourned for this. Yang hu's kindness touched almost everyone in this way. At the time of burial, the emperor gave a coffin, a set of robes, 300,000 yuan, 100 piece of cloth. The imperial edict said, "Hou Yanghu, the general of Zhengnan, has a simple and simple morality and a pure and high heart. He began to work in the palace, which was worthy of my accession to the throne. He treated him as a sincere person and ordered him to make a decision. He was in charge of state secrets when he entered the DPRK and guarded a mountain and a river when he went out. He should have been famous for a long time and helped me forever, but suddenly he died of illness, which made people sad. It is now decided to posthumously award him the post of assistant and teacher, and his official title will remain unchanged. " Yang hu is clean and thrifty, and his clothes are simple and simple. All his salary is used to support relatives and reward sergeant. There is no money in his family, and he will die, so he can't put Cheng Nan and Hou Yin in the coffin. Congdi, Yang, etc. He told the emperor Yang Hucheng's last wish and asked to be buried next to his ancestors' graves. The emperor refused to let him give a hectare of land ten miles away from the city to Yang as a cemetery, and posthumous title called it Cheng. Yang hu's coffin and the funeral procession are on the road, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held a wine farewell in the south of Sima Gate.
Sima You, the nephew of Yang Hu, the King of Qi, stated in the above table that Yang Hu's wife was willing to be buried with An, and the Emperor Wu wrote: "Yang Hu resigned many times before his death, and this intention cannot be forced. Because of this, the virtue of modesty after death can inspire future generations. Boyi and Shu Qi are called sages because of their resignation, and Ji Zha is full of respect for his resignation. Now I respect my wishes and restore my original knighthood in recognition of his virtue. " At the beginning, when Emperor Wendi died, yang hu said to Fu Xuan, "The system of three years' parents' mourning, even for nobles, was a kind of mourning from the emperor to the common people, but it was abolished by Emperor Wendi. This is against etiquette and justice, and I often sigh for it. Today, the Lord has the highest filial piety, including Zeng Shen and Min Zikai. Although he was not allowed to wear mourning clothes, he still kept the funeral. Now that there is a funeral, what's the point of taking off the mourning clothes? Wouldn't it be nice to take this opportunity to get rid of the funeral system of the Han and Wei Dynasties, restore the ancient system, and make the people clean and have a good reputation for a hundred generations? " Fu Xuan said: "Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty abolished this system for hundreds of years because the world was shallow and he could not mourn for you for three years. Once the ancient system is restored, it will be difficult to implement. " Yang hu said, "We can't let everyone in the world mourn the son of heaven. Isn't it good to let the Lord mourn? " Fu Xuan said, "If the Lord does not abolish the three-year mourning system, the whole world will be abolished. This is only the gift of father and son, not the gift of monarch and minister, and the way of three publics is incomplete. " Yang hu also stopped sticking to his guns. Yang hu's articles and Biography of Laozi are popular all over the world.
Xiangyang people build temples and monuments where yang hu lives in Xianshan, and pay homage to them on time every year. Everyone who saw this monument shed tears, so Du Yu called it "the monument to tears". Jingzhou people avoided the name of Yang Hu, only called the government gate, and changed Cao to resign Cao. According to yang hu's official position, you can set up an official position and directly select and appoint officials, but he is modest and doesn't do so. I wanted to select a group of talents before my death, but I died before I could set up an official position. Wei Liu, Zhao Yin and Du Yu, counselors of Yang Hucheng, wrote to Du Yu: "We people may be ashamed to be officials because of the fallacy of past selection, so we must participate in daily affairs under the command of General Cheung Nam. Yang hu is an indifferent and peaceful person, honest and lofty, noble and approachable, with rich title and modest attitude. Before his death, he was called to appease the south, and he was in the same position as the three public officials, and he increased the title of general. Although he lives here, he does not practice the system of appointing officials and setting up offices. So far, he has been longing for his virtue at home and looking up to his wind. People who enter Yang's house can be greedy and cheap, and cowards can aspire to it. Although this is a virtue of Boyd Liu Xiahui, it will not surpass him. Since guarding Jingxiang and moral education, Jianghan people have benefited extensively; Foresight and foresight have consolidated and developed the territory of the country. The great cause of the century he outlined is accurate and well-founded. He devoted himself to the public and the country until he died. He recommended four subordinate officials for the first time, but yang hu died before he took office. It is the general's long-term task to cultivate the virtuous and serve the country; It is also the general's long-cherished wish to be thirsty for talents and to be promoted and reused; Giving up halfway is also the general's personal regret; He lived a humble life and failed to realize his desire to select talents in his later years, which is the sorrow of relatives and friends far and near.
Gan Tang trees resting in Zhao Bo during the Western Zhou Dynasty were loved by local people, but they couldn't bear to be cut down. In the places that Zi Xuan visited in the Spring and Autumn Period, people planted trees to commemorate and cherish his trees. What's more, the talents recommended by yang hu before his death can be abandoned casually? Please make a list of these people and appoint them according to the current official arrangements. According to this intention, Emperor Du Yu stated in the above statement: "Although yang hu is a minister who can open a government, he is very modest. When he was seriously ill, he chose a wise man, but yang hu died before he arrived. There is no heir in his family and no official appointed by him in the government. People hope that yang hu is that person, which is deeply worrying in this respect. If the deceased are buried with courtesy and their life aspirations are respected, ethics and folk customs will be honest. Emperor Gaozu did not hesitate to use the reward of 4,000 households to comfort Zhao's son and brother, and asked the courtiers to discuss the matter. " Emperor Wu did not agree to Du Yu's request. Two years after yang hu's death, Wu Dong was pacified, and ministers congratulated Emperor Wu on his birthday. Liang Wudi raised his glass with tears and said, "This is all due to Yang Gong!" Therefore, Wu Ping's story was written into a strategy book, which was published in Yanghu Temple to comfort its spirit. Yanghu's wife was still named Hou according to the example of Xiao He in Han Dynasty. "Ce Yin Shu" said: "The emperor asked the priest Du Hongdian to tell the late Shi Zhong, Tai Fu and Hou Yanghu, who lived in Pingcheng, that in the past, Wu people were arrogant and rude, and because of obstacles, they claimed to be emperors, and the border could not be unified for many years.
Yang Hucheng accepted the important task of guarding the south, thought about pacifying the Wu rebellion, publicized justice and benevolence externally, planned the national strategy internally, carried forward sincerity and made outstanding achievements. Jianghan people return to their original heart, act confidently and plan foolproof. However, God did not bless the kind people, so that the public's ambition was not rewarded. Because of resentment, I issued an imperial edict to start a career. I went to be a soldier for a few months, and the thief Wu was annihilated in World War I. Your plan to destroy Wu was realized one by one. Exactly. Reward those who have not forgotten their achievements. This country has fixed laws. It should increase public fiefs to fulfill its promise to the people of China. However, this goes against the virtues of fairness and humility. Today, Xiahou, the wife of the Duke, is named the King of Long Live Township, with a food city of 5,000, silks of 10,000 and grain of 10,000. "When Yang was five years old, let the wet nurse get herself a gold ring to play with. The wet nurse said, "I don't have this kind of thing at home." Yang hu immediately led the wet nurse to find a gold ring in a mulberry cave under neighbor Li's east wall. Li was shocked when he learned that, and said, "My dead son was lost many years ago, and everyone said it was stolen." The nurse told the story of the search for the gold ring, and Li was very sad. At that time, people thought it strange that yang hu was the reincarnation of Lee's son. Another Feng Shui master said that yang hu's ancestral grave looked like an emperor. If the tomb was cut open, it would be gone, so yang hu cut it open. Looking at the carved grave, the fortune teller said, "It's still three dollars for a broken arm. "Later, yang hu broke his arm because of falling horse, and reached the position of three officials, but he had no son. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Yang Ji, the son of yang hu's brother, as yang hu, but Yang Ji refused on the grounds that his father was dead. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also made Yang Yi, his younger brother, the heir of yang hu, and Yang Yi did not obey. Emperor Wu was furious, detained them and dismissed them.
In the second year of Taikang (28 1), Yang Yi's younger brother, Yang Yi, was named Hou and was the heir of yang hu. A private cow gave birth to a calf in the official family, and left the calf in the official family when she was promoted and moved. Later, he was promoted to ride an ordinary waiter and died early.
During the first year of Emperor Tai's filial piety in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (376 ~ 396), Yang Faxing, the son of yang hu's brother's great-grandson, was named Jupinghou, with 5,000 food cities. Faxing was killed and his title was abolished because of his participation in Huan Xuan's disorderly party and collective punishment. Xun Bozi, the ancestor of Shangshu, argued in the above table: "I heard that the ancient sages were destroyed, and Lu Zang Wenzhong sighed deeply; Gave the title of "Bo" to Guan Zhong and called him Ren. People with high achievements are immortal, and those who gain power by excessive rewards will never be able to save the day and night. The late Yang Hucheng, the late Tai Fu and Hou are all moral wise men, and they associate with the wise men. They are loved by the people of China. They helped to establish Jin and plan Wu, but they cut off their heirs without sacrificing anyone. Xiao He made great contributions to the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC). Although he lost his heir, there will always be an heir. I think Ju Ping should be passed down from generation to generation, just like Xiao He praised Yang for his fiefs. The late Qiu Guangling Guan Yun colluded with Sima Lun for rebellion, which made Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, suffer deeply. The man benefited from the rebellion and stole the national seal of a big country. Timely and inappropriate rewards and punishments make the great cause of ZTE impossible to realize. How can we not judge the merits and demerits of history in today's kingly reform? I think Guangling Prefecture should be eliminated. The late Ty Gou Wei was a duke .. Yangxian County. After being killed by the disaster, he increased the fief and began to seal it in Lanling. Later, he was renamed Jiangxia, a famous minister in China and Korea. After his death, Gou Wei didn't get the treatment he deserved, but he got a special reward. I think this county should break off contact with the duke .. Yang county should be restored. This is the only way. This watch was suppressed by the powerful minister and failed to be reported to the emperor. Yang hu's former mother was Kong Rong's daughter, who gave birth to Wool, and Wool went to Huaibei to protect the army. At first, Yang Fa and yang hu's brother Yang Cheng were seriously ill at the same time. Yang hu's mother estimated that she could not save both of them at the same time, so she concentrated on maintaining Yang Fa, who was saved and died.
Yang Lun, the son of Yang Fa, is the king of Levin, and Yang Ji, the younger brother of Yang Lun, is the prefect of Pingyang. Yang Ji's younger brother, Yang Yi, was an official of Jia Chong, the general of Cheqi, and later moved to Pingnan, the military commander in Jiangbei, where he was killed by Zhang Chang. After his death, he was posthumously awarded as the general of Zhennan. Yang hu's uncle is a sheep, and the official is the prefect of Jingzhao. Yang Zhi's son Bi is Yang Liang, the grandson of Yang Shuibi, the prefect of Wei County. The word is long and mysterious. He is brilliant and scheming. He treats people with sincerity. Others think he is a bosom friend, but he is not. Yang Liangchu joined the army to teach Yang Jun. At that time, there were many thieves in Beijing. Yang Jun wants to punish him severely, and stipulates that stealing 100 yuan will be beheaded and handed over to subordinate officials for discussion. Yang Liang said, "Once upon a time, my mother in Chu lost her cloth and thought that the root of thieves was powerful yin. If you are honest and not greedy, naturally there will be no thieves. Why use heavy punishment? " Yang Jun was ashamed and cancelled his plan. Later, Yang Liang was transferred to be a guest. At that time, Hui Di was in Chang 'an, and Yang Liang colluded with the Kanto rebels. He was so frightened that he ran to Bingzhou and was killed by Liu Yuanhai. Yang Liang's younger brother Yang Tao is the secretariat of Xuzhou.
