Yelv Renxian, also known as Jiu Neighbor , whose nickname is Chala, a descendant of Meng's father's house. His father, Yelu Guiyin, was the prime minister of Nanfu and was granted the title of King of Yan.
Renxian was tall and handsome, full of wisdom and strategy. In the third year of Chongxi's reign (1034), he was appointed as a guard.
Emperor Xingzong discussed political affairs with him and thought he was talented. Because Renxian received the rare favor in his life, he kept nothing secret in his words and deeds. He was awarded the title of General Su Zhi, moved to the deputy commander sLKJ.oRg in front of the palace, and was appointed as the military governor of the ancient Hela Tang Dynasty. Soon he was recruited to Linya in the north.
In the eleventh year (1042), he was promoted to deputy envoy to the Privy Council of the North Academy. When the Song Dynasty requested an increase in silver silk for the annual currency in exchange for the ownership of the land in ten counties, Renxian and Liu Liufu went to the Song Dynasty as envoys, but still insisted on using the word "tribute" in the annual currency documents. The Song people refused. Renxian said: "In the past, the Shijin Dynasty repaid the kindness of this dynasty by ceding land as a donation, and the Zhou people took it by force. It was clear who was right and who was wrong, what was beneficial and what was harmful." So it was agreed to increase the amount of silver by 100,000 yuan. Two, one hundred thousand pieces of silk are still called "tribute". After returning to China, Ren Tongzhi was informed of the stay-at-home affairs in Nanjing.
In the thirteenth year (1044), he attacked the Xia Kingdom and left Ren to guard the border. Soon after, he was summoned to the Khitan palace headquarters and made a memorial requesting to exempt the princes and ministers from serving as servants in the palaces. In the 16th year (1047), he moved to the position of King of the North Academy. He reported that the two chambers now had many households and were wealthy. He requested that other ministries be exempted from helping him serve, and the edict was granted. In the eighteenth year (1049), he again raised his troops to attack Xia, with Renxian and the emperor's brother Chongyuan as the vanguard. Xiao Hui was defeated in Henan, and the emperor wanted to advance the army to fight again. Renxian tried his best to dissuade him, and the emperor stopped the army. Later, he served as the privy envoy of Zhibeiyuan and moved to Tokyo to stay. Taking advantage of the dangerous terrain, the Jurchens continued to invade and plunder. Renxian requested that roads be excavated in the mountains to control them, so that the border people could live and work in peace and contentment. He was named King of Wu.
At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, he served as Privy Envoy of Nanyuan. Because of the frame-up by Yeluhuage, he was demoted to deputy marshal of Nanjing's military force and Taiwei, and was renamed King of the Sui Dynasty. In the sixth year (1060), he once again became the king of Beiyuan. The people traveled hundreds of miles to welcome him, as if they were seeing their father and brother. At that time, Nerugu, Xiao Hujian and others, the privy officers of the South Court, were jealous of him and asked Emperor Daozong to let Renxian serve as the recruiting envoy on the northwest road. Yelu Yixin wrote in a memorial: "Ren is an old minister, and his virtue and reputation are unparalleled. He should not be appointed as a foreign official in the capital." He also worshiped as the privy envoy of the South Academy and changed his title to King Xu.
In July of the ninth year (1063), the emperor went hunting in Taizi Mountain. Yeluliang reported that Chongyuan had rebelled. The emperor summoned Renxian to discuss the matter with him. Renxian said: "This kind of person is cruel and vicious. I have suspected him for a long time." The emperor urged Renxian to search for him. Ren left the palace first and said, "Your Majesty, you should be careful!" Before he could put on his clothes, Chongyuan had already come to attack the palace. The emperor wanted to go to the North and South Courtyards. Renxian said: "If Your Majesty leaves his retinue and goes out alone, the thieves will follow. Besides, the intentions of the kings of the South and North are unknown." Renxian's son Ta Buye said: "Your Majesty himself How can you disobey your idea?" Ren Xian got angry and hit him on the head. The emperor understood this and gave Ren Xian full authority to attack the thieves. So he arranged the carriages into a camp, dismantled the walking horses (a wooden frame-shaped roadblock in front of the Yamen), and made weapons. Renxian led more than 30 of his subordinates and attendants to form a formation outside the walking horses. When the battle came, most of the thieves surrendered. Nerugu Zhongyuan fell from his horse and was captured alive. Zhongyuan retreated with injuries. Renxian felt that the residence of Xiao Tala of the Fifth Academy was nearest, so he quickly summoned him and sent people separately to gather the troops. At dawn, Chongyuan led 2,000 Xi people to attack the palace, and Xiao Tala's troops arrived just in time. Ren Xian expected that the enemy would not last long, and waited until they were discouraged before attacking. So he formed a formation with the camp on his back and saw the opportunity to attack bravely. The thieves fled and dispersed. Renxian led his troops to pursue them for more than 20 miles, while Chongyuan and several cavalry escaped. The emperor held Renxian's hand and said, "It's all your credit for quelling the rebellion this time." He was given the title of Shangfu, and was promoted to the title of King of Song Dynasty. He served as the privy envoy of the Beiyuan. He personally wrote a document for him to express his praise and issued an edict. He ordered the "Battle Map of Luanhe River" to be drawn in recognition of his contribution.
In the first year of Xian Yong (1065), he was added to Yue and renamed King of Liao. Together with Yelu Yixin, he presided over the privy affairs of the North Courtyard. Yixin relied on his favor and acted illegally, but Renxian stopped him. As a result, he was hated and demoted to Nanjing as a stay-at-home officer, and was changed to the king of Jin. Benevolence first tolerates loneliness and forbids evil. The people of Song Dynasty were frightened and frightened by the news. Those who discuss him believe that since Brother Yue Xiu, the only person in the Song Dynasty who can make the people of Song Dynasty fear them is Renxian.
To prevent Taligan from rebelling against the king's order, Renxian served as the envoy of the Northwest Route and was given the Ying Niu Seal and Shang Fang Sword.
The emperor said: "You are going too far away from the court. If you report before acting every time, I am afraid you will lose the opportunity. You can act randomly, kill first and report later." Renxian set up scouts (watchtowers) strictly to guard the enemy's fortress. , to win over and appease the obedient tribes, and all government affairs were organized in an orderly manner. Taligan came to invade again, and Ren attacked him first, chasing him for more than eighty miles. The army then arrived and defeated Taligan. Other troops, such as Reis and Tumei, came to rescue Tarigan. Seeing that he was repeatedly defeated, they did not dare to fight and surrendered. The northern border will be peaceful.
In the eighth year (1072), Ren Xian died at the age of sixty. He ordered his family to give him a sparse burial. The younger brother's righteousness comes first, his faith comes first, and his son's tartness comes first. 6. Wang Gongchen’s classical Chinese reading answers
Translation for reference: Wang Gongchen, courtesy name Junkuang, was born in Xianping, Kaifeng.
His original name was Gongshou. When he was nineteen years old, he got the first place in Jinshi. Renzong gave him the name "Gongchen". He served as general magistrate of Huaizhou and Zhixianyuan. He successively served as magistrate of salt and iron, Xiu Shizhu and Zhizhigao.
In the first year of Qingli (1041), he became a bachelor of Hanlin. Khitan envoy Liu Liufu once said to Jia Changchao: "What dangers are there in a boundary river? You can cross it in a small boat, and the soldiers can fill it up with a whip.
Or, dig out the river embankment. , make 100,000 bags filled with sand and put them upstream, and the road can be opened at any time." Renzong discussed this issue with Gongchen, and Gongchen said, "There is always a conspiracy in war.
If the other party can do this, we shouldn't tell them. This must be a lie. This is what the ancestors did by setting up dangerous obstacles to defend the country. Our ancestors also used dangerous terrain to defend against the enemy."
Soon, the Khitan. He also sent Liu Liufu to demand that the Song Dynasty cede ten counties in Guannan, and accused Taizong of unreasonably attacking Yan. The whole court didn't know how to respond.
Gongchen said: "When the king's army conquered Hedong, the Khitan had already communicated with us, but they attacked Shiling Pass to support the rebels in Hedong. Taizong was angry, so he returned to attack the Khitan. How can you say it was unreasonable? ?" So he wrote back and said: "First there was the battle at Shilingguan, and then there was the battle at Jimen."
After the Khitan received the reply, they resumed their reconciliation. Renzong happily said to the ministers, "If Gongchen wasn't familiar with history, it would be really difficult to answer."
Gongchen also acted as the prefect of Kaifeng and was appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng. Xia Song became the privy envoy. Gong Chen said: "When Xia Song was in charge of the western frontier affairs, he made no achievements and returned nothing.
Now let him be in charge of the country's two highest military and political institutions. One, how to set an example for the world?" So he argued with the emperor face to face and had fierce words. The emperor didn't think it through and stood up suddenly. Gong Chen stepped forward and held the corner of his clothes.
The emperor finally listened to his words and Xia Song resigned. He also said: "What Teng Zongliang did in Qingzhou violated the law, but he was only demoted and transferred to Guo Shou. I am afraid that all the border ministers will be like him in the future.
He should be severely punished." The emperor did not listen. He took leave to go home and asked for a demotion.
So the emperor transferred Teng Zongliang to Yuezhou and ordered Gongchen to continue to be responsible for his original work. When Gongchen paid a visit to the emperor, the emperor said: "You staff officers can express your opinions. Don't think that the court's failure to adopt one of your suggestions means that it is suppressing you, and you can easily resign in order to gain fame.
From now on, you should say whatever you think you should say, and don't avoid it." Monk Shaozong deceived the people in the name of casting Buddha statues. The residents of the capital rushed to throw gold into the furnace, and the harem also provided money to help him.
Gongchen said, "We have sent troops to garrison the west for many years, but we have spent money on places where it should not be used. This will shake the morale of the military and cause resentment among the people." The emperor ordered a ban on this move by Seng Shaozong. Activity.
Su Shunqin entertained guests when he entered the memorial hall. Wang Yirou was drunk and composed "Aoge". Gongchen persuaded Su's subordinates Yu Zhouxun and Liu Yuanyu to report this matter. As a result, Su and Wang were demoted to distant places, and all the people who attended the banquet were expelled to other places.
The ruling ministers at that time were Du Yan and Fan Zhongyan. They made many reforms to traditional rules and regulations, which made Gongchen's friends feel uneasy.
Shun Qin and Yi Rou were recommended and promoted by Fan Zhongyan, and Shun Qin was Du Yan's son-in-law. Therefore, Gong Chen took this opportunity to overthrow these people. At that time, public opinion looked down on Gong Chen's character.
Later, as a Hanlin bachelor, he acted as the third envoy. Because Zheng Xu, a wealthy citizen, was improperly elected, he was appointed magistrate of Zhengzhou, and was moved to Chan, Ying, and Bingzhou successively.
He returned a few years later and served as a bachelor and concurrently as an attendant. The emperor stored the "Tai Xuan Jing" and the yarrow used for divination in Yiying Pavilion, and said to Gongchen, "I often study these.
Do you also understand these?" Gongchen replied and Said: "I hope your majesty will pay attention to the Confucian classics "Six Classics", and then use the historical books recording the rise and fall of the past dynasties as a supplement. These miscellaneous books are not enough for learning." In the third year of Zhihe (1056), he was re-appointed as the third minister.
On a mission to the Khitan, he met with the Khitan leader at the Hun Tong River, where they had a banquet and fished together. Every time the Khitan master caught a fish, he would pour wine for Gongchen and play the pipa himself to help him enjoy the wine.
He also said to his prime minister: "This is the young champion of the Southern Dynasty. He has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy for fifteen years, so I want to treat him particularly favorably." After returning, the censor Zhao Bian thought his behavior was inappropriate. Etiquette: "If Khitan envoys use this as an example to ask us in the future, how can we refuse?" Li Zhang, the transfer judge of Hunan, and Ren Zhuan, the magistrate of Tanzhou, forcibly bought the jewelry of the dead businessman at a low price. After their crimes were exposed, they were arrested. Gongchen bribed all the jewels to the harem, and Zhao Bian also impeached the matter.
When he was appointed as the envoy of the North Academy of Xuanhui, Zhao Bian said: "The position of Xuanhui was originally given to people with meritorious service. Only the former ruling ministers and Jiedushi can obtain this position. How can Gongchen What about insulting this position?" So he was asked to know Yongxing Army as a bachelor of Duanming Palace, and he was in charge of Taizhou, Dingzhou, and Daming Prefecture of Henan, and he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. After Shenzong ascended the throne, Gongchen should be transferred to Pushe according to his qualifications. Ouyang Xiu thought that Pushe was at the level of prime minister and should not be ranked according to seniority, so he only appointed him as the prince Shaobao.
In the first year of Xining (1068), he was called back to serve as the envoy of the North Academy. Wang Anshi was appointed as the counselor of political affairs. He hated that he was always against him. When the two prime ministers were in trouble, he drove him to take charge of Yingtian Mansion.
In the eighth year (1075), he entered the court to see the emperor and served as the envoy of Zhongtaiyi Palace. In the early years of Yuanfeng (1078), he was transferred to the envoy of Nanyuan and was given the Jinfang Tuandai.
The daimyo was sentenced again and was appointed military governor of Wu'an Army. The Third Route Chief compiled the household registration of the people and established the Baojia system, and called on the people every day for instruction. The prohibitions were harsh and impatient, and the people were often forced to become bandits.
County officials concealed these situations and did not dare to report them. Gongchen resolutely wrote a letter criticizing its shortcomings: "Not only the material interests of the people are greatly harmed, but their farming time is also delayed. This is using the law to force them to commit crimes.
It is a sign that they are gradually evolving into big thieves. It can already be seen. Even if all these measures cannot be abolished, the poorest and least able-bodied people should be spared from harm and the situation should be eased."
Those in power accused Gongchen of resisting the new law. Gongchen replied: "This is an old minister who is serving his country with all his loyalty." The music continued one after another.
The emperor came to his senses, and the fifth-class households were protected from harm. Zhezong ascended the throne, moved to Zhangde Jiedu, and was granted the title of Grand Master of the School.
He died this year at the age of seventy-four. He was given the posthumous title "Yike" by the third division of Yitong in Kaifu. 7. (1) Classical Chinese reading (19 points) Read the following classical Chinese and complete questions 4~7

According to the old rules of the Yushi Mansion, the public tea was rewarded every month, and the Yushi Zhongcheng received 10,000 yuan.

Seeing that Xishe's seal was still there, he told Taizong when he came back. Taizong said: "He doesn't use my money, let alone other people's money. He accepted it before because he didn't want to reject me. But now that he has not opened it for a year, his integrity becomes more obvious."

The answer is Liu Wensou (son). Taizong was very sad, summoned the prime minister to talk about him (Liu Zhen), and said that there are few ministers today who can compare with him (Liu Wensou).

Original text
"Fuchsia" (Li Yu)
Hibiscus seems to be slightly different from other herbal flowers, but it has roots but no tree. One year old and one lifetime, their nature is the same. The genealogy says: "Those grown in water are called hibiscus, and those grown on land are called Eclipta." This means that it must not be a herb. Those who rely on this for their lives in the summer are not just imitating Uncle Mao and following the example of their predecessors. They describe the beauty of hibiscus. There are many things that happened, so please prepare a description. The flowers are in season, and only for a few days when they are in bloom. The past and the following are all autumns that pass by and are ignored. This is not the case with hibiscus: since the day when the lotus emerged from the water, it has been embellished with green waves; as soon as its stems and leaves are born, they will rise higher and brighter as the sun rises. It is swaying when there is wind, and it is graceful when there is no wind. This is why I enjoy the infinite ease before the flowers bloom. As soon as the lotus blossoms become flowers, they are delicate and beautiful, and then one after another, from summer to autumn, this is a matter of responsibility for flowers, and it is also a matter of people's due. When the flower has withered, it can also be used to accuse the owner of the crime. It has a pod under the compound pedicle, and the pod is strong and independent. It is like an unopened flower, standing side by side with the green leaves, so that the white dew will not turn into frost and it will be able to do things. This is all to say that it is eye-catching. But in the nose, there is the fragrance of lotus leaves and the unique fragrance of lotus; it can escape the heat and the heat will retreat, and enjoy the coolness and the coolness will drive away the life. When it comes to its pleasant taste, the lotus seeds and lotus roots are eaten side by side, touching each other's teeth and cheeks.
Only the leaves have been lost in the frost, and they are scattered and embarrassing, as if they are discarded. They are picked and hidden, and they are used to wrap things for many years. There is nothing like the hibiscus that is not suitable for the eyes and ears to see at any moment, and there is not a single thing that is not suitable for household use. There are grains but no names, and flowers have the same length but their shortcomings are eliminated. Is there any greater benefit to planting?
Among the four lives given to me, this life is the most important. There is nothing better than a happy life. Instead of having half an acre of square pond as a place to live and settle down, we only dig a large pond and plant a few stems to stop the problem. Sometimes, when the water leaks, we look up to the sky and beg for water to save it. This is what the so-called poor health care and neglect of life is like. Translation
Hibiscus seems to be slightly different from herbaceous flowers. However, it has roots without a wooden trunk and is an annual plant. These properties are the same as those of herbs. The flower book says: "Those that grow in water are called hibiscus, and those that grow on land are called eclipta." So this cannot be said to be that hibiscus is not a herb.
I love hibiscus, and I can only survive on this flower in summer. I don’t mean to imitate Zhou Dunyi and repeat what my predecessors have said long ago, but because hibiscus suits people’s wishes, and its advantages cannot be explained in just one or two points. Please bear with me. Let’s talk about its benefits one by one.
The best time to appreciate flowers is only during the few days when they are in bloom. Before and after that, people pass by them without asking anything. This is not the case with hibiscus: from the day the lotus came out of the water, it decorated the water with green; when its stems and leaves grew, it became taller and more beautiful day by day. When there is wind, it makes a fluttering and swaying look, and when there is no wind, it also shows a light and gentle grace. Therefore, before the flowers bloom, we enjoy the infinite leisure. When the buds bloom, and their posture is so delicate that they almost drip with water, they bloom one after another, from summer to autumn. This is the nature of flowers, and it is the enjoyment that people should get. When the flowers wither, you can also tell the owner that I have nothing to do with you; then a lotus pod will grow under the flower pedicle, with fruits in the pod, and each branch will stand upright by itself, still like an unopened flower, with green leaves. It stands erect (on the water) all the time, and its talents will not be completed until the frost falls on the White Dew Festival. The above are all aspects that say it is suitable for viewing.
If it is suitable for the nose (place), then there is also the fragrance of lotus leaves and the unique fragrance of lotus; (use it to) escape the heat, the heat will be reduced by it; (use it to) enjoy the coolness, the cool air Just because of it.
As for its deliciousness, the lotus seeds and lotus roots can be put into a plate and put on the table together, making people's mouth full of fragrance. There are only withered leaves that have been beaten by frost, and they are in disarray and look very ugly, as if they have become abandoned waste; but if you pick them and store them, they can be used to wrap things next year.
From this point of view, there is no moment when the hibiscus is not suitable for viewing, and there is no part or part that is not suitable for daily use. (It) has the essence of grains without occupying the name of grains. It concentrates the strengths of flowers and eliminates their shortcomings. Is there any greater benefit from planting?
Among the four flowers and plants that I regard as life, the hibiscus is the most precious. It's a pity that I have loved it all my life, but can't get half an acre of square pond as a place for it to live and survive. I just dug a small pond as big as a bucket and planted a few plants to comfort myself. I also often worried about the leakage of the pond and prayed for rain to save it. This is probably what I mean by not being good at cultivating living beings and treating their lives as Just be as cheap as weeds.
