Xiao Yu, the character Shiwen, was the son of Emperor Ming of the Later Liang Dynasty. Xiao Yu loved the classics and was good at writing. He was also a very anxious man, and despised ostentatiousness. He was a prince of the Jin dynasty, and was authorized to be a right-hand man in the army. When he was appointed to the throne, he was given the title of "Minister of Internal History", but he was slightly jealous of the emperor because he was disobedient to the emperor's wishes in his speech. Gaozu entered the capital. Recruitment, take the county since the return, authorized Guanglu Da Dafu, sealed Song Guo Gong, by the Ministry of Minister of Justice. In the first year of the Wudu era, he moved to the position of Minister of Internal History. In the first year of the Wude era, he moved to become the chief historian, and the emperor entrusted him with the task of managing the internal and external affairs of the country. He was also called Xiao Lang (萧郎). Arsenic's self-improvement was not a problem, and he had no fear of being forced to violate the law. He was cheaply appointed to the throne, and was used by the emperor for every purpose. His handwritten edict said, "I have to speak to the public, and the gods of earth and grain depend on it. I have given him a letter of gold, so he should not resign."

In this year, the state set up seven positions, the king of Qin for the Yongzhou pastor, with chalcedony for the state governor. When he was told that the imperial edicts had not been carried out, chalcedony said: "In the Sui dynasty, the imperial edicts of the inner ministers were often inaccurate, and the ministers did not know what they were doing. Now that the court is in its infancy, it is the orders that will ensure its safety and security. If we are to accept an edict, we must review it and make sure that it is not erroneous, and then we will be able to go down, and this is why we have to stay in the country." The emperor said, "If so, why am I worried?" At first, chalcedony was given to the Xun family. The first time he did this, he gave it back. The first of these was to be a temple room, which was to be used as a shrine.

At the beginning of the Chingguan period, the emperor asked chalcedony: "I want to protect the countryside for a long time, how can I do that?" Arsenic said, "In the three dynasties, the world was long-lasting, and the feudal lords and vassals were the most powerful. Qin set up a guardian order, the second and the end. Han divided the king's sons and daughters, enjoying the country for four hundred years. The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the concepts and concepts that you are looking for.

This feudalism has a clear effect." The emperor was convinced, and began to discuss the feudalization of the country. The first time the emperor was to discuss feudalism, he was able to do so, but he could not tolerate the shortcomings of the people, and his intentions were often biased towards the deeper law; Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Wen Yanbo were rather judgmental and correct, but their words were more often than not deposed, and chalcedony was not equal to the task. When Xuanling made a small mistake, chalcedony impeached him, but he did not report it, so he lost himself and was dismissed as a junior minister to the Crown Prince. He was then dismissed from his post as the Crown Prince's junior minister.

The emperor said, "In the Wude season, the emperor had a motion to abolish the rule of law, but he did not want to reward me for my work, and he did not want to see his brother in the army, so chalcedony could not be used for the benefit of the Emperor's fear of death. He also said, "The public's defense of the way is straightforward, and there is nothing wrong with it in ancient times, but the good and evil are too clear, or sometimes they are lost." Died, aged seventy-four. The imperial edict awarded the Sikong, Jingzhou Governor, accompanied by the mausoleum.

Praise that: Liang Xiao's Xing Jiangzuo, real merit in the people, chiseling the end of no great evil, to dip micro and died, so the remaining happiness and its descendants. Since chalcedony caught , where into the leaf prime minister, name and virtue look forward to, and Tang Sheng installed. This is the first time in the history of the world that a family has ever existed.

Xiao Yu, also known as Shiwen, was the son of Emperor Mingzhi of Liang after Nanyang. Xiao Yu loved Buddhism and could write articles. He was a man of upright and grim temperament who despised and disdained ostentation and insubstantiality.

When Yang Guang was crown prince in the Jin Dynasty, Xiao Yu was the crown prince's left thousand oxen. When he ascended to the throne, he was appointed to be the inner historian, and was gradually alienated as he repeatedly spoke against the wishes of the broken emperor.

Gaozu Li Yuan entered Chang'an, greeted Xiaoyu, he offered the Hechi County defection of the Tang Dynasty, was awarded the title of Guanglu Daifu, sealed the title of the Duke of Song, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu word position. King Li Shimin of Qin, who was also the right marshal, attacked Luoyang, and Xiao Yu served as the acting secretary of the Qin royal household. In the first year of the Wude era (618), he was promoted to the position of inner historian, and Gaozu entrusted him with important matters, both inside and outside the palace. He sometimes took him to the imperial couch and affectionately called him "Xiao Lang" (萧郎). Xiao Yu was a diligent and hard-working man who had no qualms about criticizing and correcting mistakes. Whenever he made useful suggestions, they were adopted. Gaozu himself wrote an imperial edict saying, "Your advice is favorable to the state, and I cherish it, so I reward you with a letter of gold, which you must not shirk."

In this year, to set up official offices in seven states, the king of Qin became the pastor of Yongzhou and appointed Xiao Yu as the governor of Yongzhou. When Gaozu's edicts were sent to the Central Committee and not carried out immediately, Gaozu blamed them for procrastination, and Xiao Yu said, "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the edicts announced by the inner historian were often inconsistent, and the officials in charge didn't know which one to listen to. Now that we are beginning to build a foundation, our orders are vital to the safety of the nation. Whenever an imperial decree is issued, it must be double-checked and only issued if it is consistent, which is the reason for the subtle supervision. Gaozu said, "If that's the case, why should I worry?" In the beginning, Xiaoyu's fields and houses in Guannai were handed over to Gaozu for rewarding the meritorious officials, and by now, they were all returned to him. He divided them all among his clansmen, leaving only the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong asked him, "What should I do if I want to keep the kingdom forever?" Xiao Yu said, "The way the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties were able to preserve the world for a long time was to divide the vassals as a vassal state in defense of the center. The Qin Dynasty set up counties and perished in two generations. The Han Dynasty made their relatives meritorious officials into princes and vassals, and the kingdom was lucky for four hundred years. The Cao Wei and Jin dynasties abolished the feudal system and perished without turning a corner. This is the remarkable effect of the feudal system." Emperor Taizong adopted this opinion and began to discuss the division of state princes and assassins.

Xiao Yu was a clever and eloquent commentator on government, but he could not tolerate the inadequacies of others, and sometimes deliberately argued for a different point of view; however, he had always been rigorous in his approach, and Fang Xuan Ling, Wei Zheng, and Wen Yan Bo could not adjudicate the arguments, and most of his opinions were not adopted, so his heart was angry. It so happened that Fang Xuanling and others made a small mistake, Xiaoyu desperately impeached, Taizong did not care to step on, so instead of their own losses, relegated to the crown prince as a junior minister, and later awarded the empty title of Special Progress, and then served as the Secretary of the Standing Committee of the Crown Prince. Later, he became the ambassador of Henan Province. Zhenguan nine years (635), and then transferred back to the court to participate in political affairs.

Emperor Taizong once said, "At the end of Wude, the emperor had the idea of abolishing the number of Jiancheng to set up a crown prince, but I set up a reward for the work that could not be rewarded, Jiancheng, Yuanji can not tolerate me, Xiaoyu ignored the threat of their temptations at that time, it is really a loss of the national security of the minister." So he wrote a poem to him, saying, "The stormy wind knows the test, the plate swings to recognize the sincere minister." He also said to Xiaoyu: "You are a man of unswerving integrity, which the ancients could not have surpassed, but you are too clear in your distinction between good and evil, and sometimes you lose your sense of proportion."

When he died, he was seventy-four years old. Will order with a single layer of clothing people convergence, burial do not choose the date. The imperial decree posthumously recognized him as Sikong, Jingzhou Governor, buried in the Taizong pre-Zhaoling cemetery for his own.

Whenever useful suggestions were made, they were adopted.

5. The Book of Jin: The Biography of Wang Hun

Wang Hun was a native of Jinyang, Taiyuan, with the name Xuanchong. Wang Hun was a man of great depth and elegance. He inherited his father's title of Marquis of Jingling and was appointed as a subordinate of General Cao Shuang. After Cao Shuang was killed, he was removed from his post according to the usual practice. Later, he was appointed as a magistrate of Huai, who was in charge of the military affairs of Emperor Wen's Andong, and was gradually promoted to be a minister of the Yellow Gate and a permanent minister of the Cavalry. During the reign of Emperor Xianxi, he became a lieutenant of Yuezhi. When Emperor Wu received the title of Zen, Wang Hun was appointed as the General of Helium, and moved to the post of Assassin of Xuzhou. At that time, there was a famine and Wang Hun opened a storehouse to help the people and they relied on him. In the first year of Taishi, he increased the number of his fiefs by 1,800 households. After a period of time, he was moved to be the general of the east, supervising the military affairs of Huaibei and guarding Xuchang. He was a great leader of the Chinese people, and he had a great influence on the people of China.

He was transferred to the post of general of conquering the captives, supervising the military affairs of Yuzhou, assuming the title of "False Festival", and also the head of the assassin of Yuzhou. The armies of Wu generals Xue Ying and Lu Shu were 100,000 strong, with Lu Shu's army heading for Yiyang and Xue Ying's army heading for Xinshi. At that time, the state soldiers were on vacation and resting, and the army only had one brigade. Wang Hun used a boat to cross the Huaihe River quietly and took them by surprise, and Xue Ying and others did not expect the arrival of the Jin army. Wang Hun defeated them, and for his merits, Wang Hun's second son Wang Shang was appointed Marquis of Guannei. He was moved to be the general of Andong and the military governor of Yangzhou, and defended Shouchun. The Wu people were massively deploying their fields in Anhui City, trying to cause trouble at the border. Wang Hun sent Ying Chuo, the assassin of Yangzhou, to supervise all the troops in Huainan to attack them, and also attacked some other military camps and burned more than 1,800,000 ducats of grain, 4,000 hectares of rice seedlings, and more than 600 ships accumulated by the Wu people. Wang Hun then set up troops on the eastern border to understand the danger of the terrain there, and watched the enemy cities one by one to examine the situation of attack.

When the large-scale crusade against Wu was underway, Wang Hun led his army from Hengjiang River, and dispatched Chen Shen, a military officer, and Zhang Qiao, a lieutenant, to attack Xunyang Seixiang, and Kong Zhong, a general of Wu's army, and defeated them, capturing Wu's general Zhou Xing and other five men. He also dispatched Li Chun, the Waste Wu Protector, to occupy Gaowang Castle to crush Yu Gong, the Wu general, defeating him and beheading and capturing many of them. Wu's General Chen Dai of Lifu and General Zhu Ming of Pingru came to surrender in fear. The prime minister of Wu, Zhang Ti, and the general Sun Zhen led tens of thousands of troops to Chengyang, and Wang Hun dispatched the minister Sun Chou and the assassin of Yangzhou, Zhou Jun, to defeat them, killing two generals in front of the formation and beheading 7,800 people, and the people of Wu were very afraid.

He was transferred to the post of General of the East and defended Shouyang again. Wang Hun did not respect criminal law, and was fair in his decision-making. At that time, the Wu people had just returned to the country, and they were very fearful. But Wang Hun appeased the foreigners and accepted them with sincerity. There was no empty seat on the throne, and no guest lingered in front of the door. The people of Jiangdong were not displeased with him, and he was able to convince them that he was the best. When Emperor Hui became the throne, he was authorized as a minister, and set up a sergeant in Jingling, as Suiling did. When Yang Jun was killed, he valued his old ministers, so he added the military post of Wang Hun. Wang Hun thought that Situ was a civil official, who was in charge of the state history but not the army, and if he was in charge of the army, the subordinate officials wore red color. Thinking that it was not in line with the old rules for him to be in charge of the army, he ordered his subordinate officials to wear black clothes. The commentators praised him for his modesty and understanding.

Wang Hun, who had been famous in the office he held, died in the seventh year of Yuan Kang at the age of seventy-five.

6. (A) Reading in the literary language,Read the following literary text and complete the questions

(1) D "also" is an auxiliary at the end of the sentence, and then breaks the sentence, exclude A and C; "said" is a dialog sign, and then breaks the sentence, exclude B. The sentence is translated as: I have heard that In ancient times, when a king dispatched a general, he knelt down and pushed the cart, saying, 'The affairs within the court are in the hands of the oligarch, and the affairs outside the court are even more in the hands of the general. All matters of reward and title are decided by the general outside the court, and he will report when he comes back. (2)B "I" is only used to refer to oneself. (3)C The explanation of "Mingjin" is not in line with the original text. The original text states that Emperor Wen's shortcomings were that "the laws were too clear, the rewards too light, and the punishments too heavy", but the alternative should be "the appointment of treacherous people like Guo Kai". Guo Kai was a native of the state of Zhao during the Warring States period, and the king of Zhao, Ch'ien, reused Guo Kai to destroy his state. (4) ①Let: reproach; all: in public; alone: don't; die: not; between: in private. Sentences translated as: summoned Feng Tang rebuke: "You insulted me in public, can not tell me in private?" ② west, south: noun as a gerund, in the west (south); is: this; a few: almost; Bo: become the overlord. The sentence translates as: to restrain the powerful Qin in the west, and to resist Han and Wei in the south. At this time, Zhao almost became the hegemon. Answer：(1)D(2)B(3)C(4)①Summoning Feng Tang to rebuke him, he said, "You insulted me in public, couldn't you have told me in private?" ② To restrain the powerful Qin in the west and to resist Han and Wei in the south . At this time, Zhao almost became the hegemon. Feng Tang's grandfather was a native of the state of Zhao, and his father moved his family to the land of Dai. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he moved to Anling. Feng Tang was famous for his filial piety and honor, and served Emperor Wen as the head of the Langzhong Department. When Emperor Wen passed by in his carriage, he asked him, "For what reason do you still serve as a minister, old man? Where is your home?" Feng Tang answered truthfully. Emperor Wen said, "When I was in Daiji, my minister of food, Gao Ru, told me many times about the skill of the Zhao general Li Qi and his deeds in the battle below Julu. Now every time I eat, I always think of Julu. Do you know him?" Feng Tang replied, "Li Qi is not as good a general as Lian Po and Li Mu." The emperor said, "What is the reason?" Feng Tang said, "When my grandfather was in Zhao, he was an official in charge of the generals and had a good relationship with Li Mu. And my father, who had been the acting prime minister before, was familiar with Zhao general Li Qi, so I know their character." After Emperor Wen heard about the deeds of Lian Po and Li Mu, he was so happy that he slapped his thigh and said, "Alas! Why can't I get talents like Lian Po and Li Mu to be my generals? If I had gotten them, why would I have to worry about the Xiong Nu being a nuisance!" Feng Tang said, "I am terrified, and I am ashamed to die in order to present my case. Right now, even if I get generals like Lian Po and Li Mu, I don't know how to appoint them!" Emperor Wen was so angry that he got up and entered the palace. After a while, he summoned Feng Tang and scolded him, saying, "You insulted me in public, but couldn't you tell me in private?" Feng Tang thanked him and said, ", I don't know how to avoid it." Shallow and ignorant I don't know how to avoid it ." At this time, the Xiong Nu had just invaded Chaona County in a big way and killed Sun Ang, the lieutenant of Beidi County. Emperor Wen was taking the Xiong Nu's invasion as a preoccupation, so he asked Feng Tang again, "How do you know that I don't know how to appoint talents like Lian Po and Li Mu?" Feng Tang replied, "I have heard that in ancient times, when a king dispatched a general, he knelt down and pushed the cart, saying, 'The affairs within the court are decided by me, and the affairs outside the court are even more cut off by the general. All rewards and titles are decided by the generals outside the court, and they report back.' This is not nonsense. My grandfather said that Li Mu was a general of Zhao and was stationed at the border, and that he used the rent and tax from the military market to entertain his soldiers, and that he decided on his rewards outside, without being subject to the control of the imperial court. Since the sovereign entrusted everything to him and wanted him to succeed, Li could do everything in his power. By dispatching 1,300 selected chariots, 13,000 capable cavalry, and 100,000 good soldiers worth a hundred gold, he was able to expel the Shan Yu in the north, defeat the Eastern Hu, and annihilate the Hunting Forest, resist the mighty Qin in the west, and support Han and Wei in the south. At this time, the state of Zhao almost became the supreme state. Later on, King Qian of Zhao, whose mother was an advocate, took the throne. After his accession to the throne, he listened to Guo Kai's slander and finally killed Li Mu and sent Yan Ju to replace him. As a result, the state of Zhao was destroyed by Qin. Now I heard that Wei Shang was the governor of Yunzhong County, and he used all the rent and tax from the military market to feed his soldiers, and he even took out his private money and slaughtered cows every few days to feed his guests, military officials and servants, so that the Huns hid far away and did not dare to come close to the barricades of Yunzhong County. On one occasion, when the Xiongnu invaded, Wei Shang led his cavalry to attack and killed many of them. These soldiers were the sons of ordinary families, who came out from the fields to join the army, so how could they understand the military order and the military symbols? They only fought hard all day long, beheading and capturing the enemy, and then went to the Shogun's office to record their achievements. But if they don't get their way, the civil servants will punish them with the law. But if he breaks the law, he is punished according to the law. I think His Majesty's laws are too strict, the rewards too light, the punishments too heavy. When Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, committed the offense of recording the decapitation of the enemy's head six ranks short, His Majesty handed him over to the law enforcement officials for punishment, stripped him of his rank, and sentenced him to imprisonment. Thus, even if your majesty gets generals like Lian Po and Li Mu, he will not know how to use them. I am really very foolish and have violated the taboo, I deserve death, I deserve death!" Emperor Wen was very happy to hear this, and on the same day, he ordered Feng Tang to take the talisman to pardon Wei Shang's crime, and reappointed him as the governor of Yunzhong. He also appointed Feng Tang as the captain of the chariot riders, commanding the lieutenants and the soldiers of the counties in the chariot battle. After ten years, Emperor Jing became the first emperor and appointed Feng Tang as the minister of Chu. When Emperor Wu came to the throne, he sought for good and virtuous men, and the villagers recommended Feng Tang. At that time, Feng Tang was already over ninety years old and could no longer work as an official, so he appointed his son Feng Sui as a magistrate.
