An honest and clean story

Honest and clean story:

I. Bao Zheng

Bao Zheng is famous for its incorruptibility, integrity and law enforcement. In his later years, he made family instructions for future generations, with 37 words, and the words "Yang Yi published stones and stood on the east wall of the hall to tell future generations".

Xun is Bao Xun, the son of Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng's family precept is a warning to future generations before his death, so that his son can be carved on a stone and erected on the east wall of the main house for future generations. These figures have condensed Bao Gong's honesty and integrity, which is enough to be praised by the world.

Second, Yang Zhen.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Zhen passed by Changyi on his way to his post. Wang Mishan, the magistrate of Changyi County, visited him and gave him ten catties of gold as a gift. Yang Zhen said, "An old friend knows a gentleman, but you don't know an old friend. Why? Wang Mi didn't know that Poplar really blamed him and said, "It's getting dark, and no one knows. Yang Zhen said, "God knows, God knows, you know, I know, what is ignorance? Hearing this, Wang Mi was ashamed and went away disgruntled. "。

Third, Wu Yinzhi.

Wu Yinzhi, a native of Jin Dynasty, was appointed as the magistrate of Guangzhou. Outside Guangzhou, he saw a pool of spring water called "Chanquan"? . According to local legend, if you drink from the fountain of greed, you will become greedy. He believed it and drank it correctly. After drinking it, I wrote a poem: "The ancients said: This water is a thousand penetration. It is not easy to try to get Qi Yi to drink. " During his tenure, he was honest and self-disciplined and adhered to his own integrity.

Fourth, Wang

Wang was appointed to join the army, and Ting was specially promoted. Wei Zhi especially admired him and wanted to betroth his niece to him. The virtuous people in Gong Wei's works have brilliant light, and we can learn from them, and seldom regard it as an adventure without being shocked? Unexpectedly, Wang politely declined. After two years, he died. Wang was very sad and took the initiative to do this marriage.

People don't understand, so they ask the king: When the Prime Minister was alive, he was in a prominent position, and no one dared to curry favor with him, but he offered to marry you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for progress, but you refused politely. Today, the Prime Minister passed away and the Wei family was left out in the cold, but you went to this marriage. Why? Wang sighed: "I didn't marry in the past because I didn't want to be attached to the power of the prime minister;" Now that I am married, I thank him for his kindness to me. "

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Yao Chong

During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zhigu, an official minister, went to Luoyang to inspect the official achievements. Yao Chong, the prime minister, has two sons who are officials there. Before leaving Beijing, Wei Zhigu specially went to Fu Yao to say goodbye, but Yao Chong gave him the cold shoulder. The Valley of Wei was hand-picked by Yao Chong. After he arrived in Luoyang, he met Yao Chong's two sons privately. Yao Chong's son asked him to put in a good word for himself before the emperor.

After receiving the letter from Wei Zhigu, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty praised Yao Chong's son, and declared Yao Chong to enter the palace, saying to Yao Chong, "Your two sons are both very talented and have good political achievements. I intend to promote them. " Yao Chong said frankly: "My two sons are mediocre in knowledge and poor in governance, which is not enough for promotion."

Seeing that Yao Chong could handle affairs impartially, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said happily, "I can't forgive Wei Zhigu for interfering in official duties and failing to live up to your teachings. It seems that there is only his official position. " Yao Chongfu said, "My godson is lax and should be punished. If your majesty demotes the valley of Wei for this, then people will say that he has become my scapegoat. "

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appreciated it very much, so he appointed Wei Zhigu as Minister of Industry. Yao Chong was once the prime minister of Wu Zetian, Tang Ruizong and Tang Xuanzong. He was known as the "Prime Minister of Salvation" and was a famous figure in the history of China. In Xuanzong period, personality played an important role in "the rule of Kaiyuan" and had a far-reaching influence.
