The story of Liu Daxia, an honest official: An official who lives in a house should be self-righteous, avoid profits and be famous far and near.
Liu Daxia, whose real name is Shi Yong, is from Dongshan and Huarong. Tianshun eight years (1464), was elected as Hanlin Jishi Shu. Since then, imperial academy, who could have stayed when people yearned for him, has been promoted step by step, but he offered to go to a place to be an official. Because of his diligence, honesty, intelligence and ability, his position has been continuously improved. A few years later, he was appointed as the right ambassador of Guangdong Province. Shortly after Liu Daxia took office, he began to check the ambassador's vault. He found that there was still a large sum of money unpaid, so he asked the librarian why. Officials told him that the money was never in the account, and it was directly controlled by successive envoys and distributed specifically. Judging from the present situation, the small coffers belonging to the unit are all arranged by the unit leaders. The treasurer also advised Liu Daxia to act as usual. Hearing this, Liu Daxia thought for a long time and suddenly blamed himself loudly: Liu Daxia, Liu Daxia, you have been a saint and a good man for many years, but today, why do you hesitate for a long time when you encounter such a thing? Really guilty, ancient people, not a gentleman! That is to say, the life of library collectors records all the remaining envy in the books of the library. As a positive offset, they don't take any money. Later, Liu Daxia was appointed as Du Hezhi and paid as an imperial envoy to the rectification army. Wherever he goes, he is strict with himself and never takes a penny for himself. In "Fu Xuan", he also restricted extravagance and encouraged middle-class families to accept millet according to the local actual situation at that time, thus ensuring the supply of military supplies for border defense and coordinating the relationship between the military and the people, and he became famous. Liu Daxia's 60th birthday, fearing that he could not be faithful to his duties, missed the state affairs, and wrote for three times in a row. Ming Xiaozong saw that he was sickly and agreed to his request. However, he stayed at home for less than two years, and because thieves in Guangdong and Guangxi were rampant and people's grievances were boiling, the court appointed him as the right capital empire and the military affairs prime minister of Guangdong and Guangxi. After receiving the imperial edict, he only took two extremely talented people and rushed to Guangdong and Guangxi. After he took office, after careful investigation and study, he realized that the uneven taxation and service in Guangdong and Guangxi led to fierce and sharp social contradictions. Therefore, some effective measures have been taken to improve the local public security situation quickly. History books say that he ruled the government to eliminate bureaucracy and spent hundreds of millions of dollars. He forbade guards and soldiers at home and abroad to serve privately, and thieves were terrified. Liu Daxia is upright and upright, and never cares about personal gains and losses. Even in front of the emperor, he always expressed his opinions bluntly. Once, he told Xiaozong about Chen's heinous crimes, and Xiaozong ordered him to tell the disadvantages in more detail. He listed the sufferings of the soldiers and civilians in the north-south waterway, the plight of the border guards, and how some civilian generals embezzled public funds and plundered the wealth of the people, which aroused the high vigilance and attention of Xiaozong. Therefore, he offended many powerful people. After the death of Xiaozong, Wuzong succeeded to the throne. In the early years of Wu De, eunuch Liu Jin was authoritarian. At this time, Liu Daxia, who was over 70 years old, had retired from the army and returned to China. However, treacherous court official Jiao Fang and others still falsely accused him of corruption and bribery, and said that his family's wealth in the United States was enough to pay for border defense for more than ten years. Liu Jinsui published personal grievances, ordered the arrest of Liu Daxia, put him in prison to guard the border and copied his home. When the official arrived at the Liu family, he saw Liu Daxia growing vegetables in the garden. When I searched all the boxes and cabinets in his house, I only found thirty-two wages. Liu Daxia gave all the money to the official faction, and the official faction refused with tears. Liu Daxia was sent to Suzhou. Before leaving, the audience sobbed, and the elders brought baskets to deliver meals, so they stopped burning.

Many people think these words are his true portrayal.
