What are the honest officials in history?

1: Tao Yuanming does not bend his back for five buckets of rice.

In order to support his family, Tao Yuanming came to Pengze, not far from his hometown, as a county magistrate. That winter, the county magistrate sent a tour to pengze county to supervise the government. Du You has low taste and some power. Speak with your mouth in front of the satrap. Du You, who was sent here this time, is a vulgar and arrogant person. As soon as he arrived at Penzer's guest house, he sent a county magistrate to call a county magistrate to see him. ?

Tao Yuanming usually despises fame and fortune, refuses to obey orders, despises such a person who gives orders in the name of a higher level, but he wants to see it again, so he set off at once. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate stopped Tao Yuanming and said, "My Lord, Du, you should wear official clothes and a big belt, otherwise it will be indecent. Du, you take the opportunity to make a scene, which is not good for adults! "

Therefore, Tao Yuanming couldn't stand it any longer. Sighed and said, "I can't bend over to the villains in the village for five buckets of rice!" " "He said, and simply took out the official seal, stamped it, immediately wrote his resignation letter, and then left Peng Ze, who had only been the county magistrate for more than 80 days.

2. Yu Qian is clean.

Yu Qian was a famous national hero and poet in Ming Dynasty. He served as an inspector, governor and minister of war. Yu Qian is honest and honest. In the era of Yu Qian's life, corruption prevailed in North Korea's political arena and bribery became the norm. At that time, when bureaucrats from all over the country visited the emperor in Beijing, they collected many local products, such as silk handkerchief, mushrooms and incense sticks, and gave them to the emperor and the dignitaries in the DPRK.

During the orthodox period of Ming Dynasty, eunuch Wang Zhen abused power for personal gain. Every time at the court meeting, local officials would offer more jewels and silver to please him. Governor Yu Qian never brings a gift when he goes to Beijing to play. His colleague advised him: "Although you don't offer treasures or seek dignitaries, you should also bring some famous local products such as thread incense, mushrooms and handkerchiefs to show some kindness!" Yu Qian smiled and raised his sleeves and said humorously, "There is a breeze!" To mock those flattering corrupt officials. The idiom "remain uncorrupted" has been handed down since then.

Zhuangzi is unwilling to be an official.

One day, Zhuangzi was fishing in the whirlpool water. Two doctors appointed by the king of Chu hired him. The King of Chu heard the name of Zhuangzi, and hoped that Zhuangzi would come out of the mountain to share his worries for the king and benefit the common people. This is really great.

But Zhuangzi firmly held the fishing rod and said indifferently without looking. "I heard that there was a turtle in Chu, and it was three thousand years old when it was killed. The king of Chu treasured bamboo boxes, covered with brocade, and enshrined them in the temple. Excuse me, Second Doctor, would this tortoise rather leave a bone after death, or would it rather sneak its tail in the mud when it is alive? " The second doctor said, "naturally, I would like to wag my tail in the mud alive." Zhuangzi said, "Two doctors, please go home! I am also willing to drag my tail in the mud. "

Zhang Zhongjing resigned and took office.

In A.D. 196, Zhang Zhongjing was recommended to enter the officialdom as the magistrate of Changsha because of his filial piety. He finishes his official duties every day and wants to treat people's pulse. On the fifteenth day of every month, people can enter at will. The rule is not to talk about politics, just ask for medical advice. Zhang Zhongjing cordially received every patient and took the pulse and prescribed medicine for the patient. For those who have difficulties in life, he not only gives them free medical treatment, but also gives them free medicine.

During his tenure, Zhang Zhongjing won the hearts of the people. In particular, he personally sat in the hospital to see a doctor for the people, and even became a legend, which gave birth to a new term "sitting in the hospital". In order to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, people call the doctor sitting in the pharmacy to treat patients "the doctor sitting in the hospital".

Zhang Zhongjing was keen on sitting in the court, but with the frequent wars and epidemics, especially typhoid fever, there was almost no cure, and the court turned a deaf ear to this. Zhang Zhongjing "saw the failure of the Japanese government" and sighed helplessly. "Your disease can be cured, but the national disease is very difficult to treat." So I wrote my resignation report and stayed away from officialdom. In the secluded place of Shaoshishan, Zhang Zhongjing set out to study typhoid fever.

5. Liu Yuxi wrote "Humble Room Inscription"

Liu Yuxi took part in Wang's "Yongzhen Innovation" and opposed the separatist forces of eunuchs and buffer regions. After the failure of innovation, he was demoted to Anhui and Zhou Xian as a small judge. According to the regulations, Tongguan will live in three three-bedroom rooms in the county government. But when I saw the author demoted, I deliberately made things difficult for him. He and Zhou Zhifu arranged for him to live by the river in the south of the city.

Instead of complaining, Liu Yuxi was very happy. He also casually wrote two sentences and posted them on the door: "Look at the white sails facing the river. He is arguing with the country." The magistrate of a county was very angry when he learned that he ordered the staff in the office to move the author's residence from the south gate of the county to the north gate of the county, and the area was reduced from three to one and a half. The new house is by the Desheng River, with weeping willows nearby, and the environment is OK. Liu Yuxi still didn't care. Looking at the scenery, he wrote two sentences on the door: "The weeping willows are beside the Qinghe River, the people are in the sun, and the heart is in Beijing."

The magistrate of a county saw that he was still carefree and indifferent, and sent someone to transfer him to the county center, giving him only a hut with only one bed, one table and one chair. In half a year, the magistrate of a county forced the author to move three times, each time the area was small, and finally it was just a room. Liu Yuxi then wrote "Humble Room Inscription", and had a stone tablet carved and stood in front of the door.
