In the early years of Zhenguan, Taizong said to the ministers around him, "If there is a pearl, there is no respect. Wouldn't it be a pity to use it to eject birds? What's more, a person's life is more precious than a pearl. Seeing the gold, silver and money, he was not afraid of the criminal law network and immediately accepted it directly. This is not to cherish his life. Pearls are things outside the body, so they can't be used to eject birds, and they can't exchange their heavy lives for property? If the vassals can be prepared for loyalty and be more conducive to the people of the country, then this official title will be established. I can't get glory in this way, so I accepted the property. When the bribe was exposed, he died himself, which was really ridiculous. So did the emperor. Willful indulgence, overwork, trust in villains, alienate loyalty and integrity, how can one of them not die here? Emperor Yang Di was extravagant and thought it was ridiculous to die at the hands of a man. "
In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to the ministers around him, "I didn't know that greedy people loved money." As for officials with more than five products inside and outside the imperial court, Dai is rich and earns a lot of money a year. If you accept bribes from others, it will only be tens of thousands. Once exposed, the salary is deprived. Is this to know how to be stingy with property? They lose a lot because of small things, and they lose more than they gain. Gong Yixiu used to like fish very much, but she didn't accept other people's fish. His fish will live forever. Those who are greedy for the monarch will die; Greedy for me, you will die. "Poetry" said: The wind is blowing fast, and there are a group of scum who are greedy for profit. What you said is true. Before, King Hui of Qin wanted to conquer Shu, but he didn't know this article, so he carved five Shi Niu and made gold. After Shu people saw it, they thought it would be golden. The King of Shu sent five lux cows into Shu in Xiao Daocheng. After Qin Jun's attack, Shu was destroyed. Tian Yannian, the great secretary of the Han Dynasty, took bribes of 30 million yuan, which was discovered and died. This kind of traffic is too numerous to mention! Now I learn from the King of Shu, and you should also learn from Tian Yannian.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to the ministers, "I am busy all day, caring for the people and loving the people, and I hope you will be rich for a long time." The sky is not high and the ground is not bad. I often fear heaven and earth carefully. If you can abide by the law seriously, you often fear heaven and earth as I do. Not only will the people be at peace, but you will also be happy forever. The ancients said:' A wise man who is rich will damage his ambition, while a fool who is rich will make mistakes. This sentence can serve as a warning. If you practice favoritism and corruption, it will not only destroy the national law, but also harm the people. Even if things are not exposed, how can you not be afraid all the time? There are many fears, some of which can lead to death. Can a person be greedy for property and harm his own life, making his children feel ashamed? You should seriously consider these words. "
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Chen Wanfu, a right-back general, went to Beijing from Jiucheng Palace and illegally collected several stones from Yijiabran. Taizong gave him a number to recite shamefully.
In the ten years of Zhenguan, Shi Quan Wanji, a scholar in charge of books, said: "There are silver pits in Xuanzhou and Raozhou mountains, which make great profits and can earn millions every year." Taizong said, "I am the son of heaven, and I have nothing to lose in this matter." As long as you give people advice and do good deeds, it will be good for the people. With millions left in the country, how can we get a talented and virtuous person? You don't recommend virtuous people to do good deeds, and you don't expose illegal acts, eliminating the shock to powerful people. Only the road tax for selling silver pits feels good. Once upon a time, Yao and Shun Meiyu were in the mountains, and their jewels were thrown into the abyss. Therefore, they worship famous beauties and are called "Millennium". Later, Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling valued profit over righteousness and became incompetent monarchs in modern times. Do you want to compare me with Huan Di and Ling? "On this day, he ordered Quan Wanji to go home.
In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to the ministers around him: "The ancients said:' A bird lives in the forest, but if it is not high, it will nest in the treetops; The fish hides in the water. I'm afraid it's not deep, and it was dug underground. However, people get it because they are greedy for bait. Now I accept the appointment. Being in a high position and enjoying a generous salary, you must be loyal and upright and follow justice, so there will be no disaster and you will remain rich for a long time. The ancients said:' There is no door to misfortune and happiness, only the call of people. Those who harm others and themselves are greedy for money. What's the difference between them and those fish and birds? You should take these words as a warning.
"Being greedy as a monarch will perish; Those who are greedy for me will die. " This is Emperor Taizong's effort to warn his ministers not to take bribes. Emperor Taizong and his ministers were able to govern the country in Xiu De, prevent greed and safeguard national security, and finally made the Tang Dynasty an unprecedented prosperous dynasty in the history of China.
In fact, it is not only the governance level of * * * that needs not to be greedy. In the materialistic world, we are faced with endless selfish desires. Only when we are satisfied and let go can we be happy.
2. Warning the translation of classical Chinese on the first and fifteenth day of each month; And the industriousness, kindness or laziness and evil deeds of the people were made public, so the customs of Qinghe were changed.
Attachment: Reference Translation of Classical Chinese
Li Xingui, whose name is Jun Xin, is a Taihe person. During the reign of Hong Xi, he was recommended for his high moral character and was named the magistrate of Qinghe. The county seat is barren and located in the transportation hub. Official ships come and go every day, and there are often thousands of servants (requisitioned). The former county magistrate asked his superiors to get help from 500 people in Muyang County. However, these people are far from their hometown and have difficulty in food and clothing. Li Xingui demanded that their help be lifted, and Muyang County should pay two-thirds more tax instead of Qinghe County, which would be convenient for both counties. Local customs are conducive to grave robbery and arson (robbery) Li Xingui made thirteen educational warnings and ordered villagers to write them on cards, warning them on the first and fifteenth day of each month. And the industriousness, kindness or laziness and evil deeds of the people were made public, so the customs of Qinghe were changed.
In the third year of Xuande, Shangshu of Xingui said, "The county is vast and sparsely populated, and it is located in the main traffic road, with an endless stream of envoys. People are recruited to tug boats every day. Ding Zhuang was exhausted, and even the old people and children were recruited as servants, which hindered and abandoned farming and mulberry. The year before last, the Ministry of War ordered that each ship should send five servants for emergency business, and no one should be sent on business trip. Now this order has not been carried out, and there is no limit on the number of conscripts. Sometimes a ship even needs forty or fifty soldiers. Who dares to question power and prestige? Sometimes (sailing) encounters strong winds and (active servicemen) can't catch up on foot, so officers on official ships confiscate their clothes and food, leaving them hungry and cold. Shen Kui asked to reiterate the previous order and expressed sympathy for these hard-working people. " The court complied with his request. In the spring of eight years, Shenwei said, "From Jiang, Huai to Beijing, all the counties and counties along the river made the soldiers and civilians tow boats. If there are no guards to be transferred, then all the servants will be transferred from the people by the relevant departments of the counties. Every year, counties and cities recruit two or three thousand people, waiting day and night. The superior officials do not distinguish between various officers, but share them together. As a result, the land is barren and the people have no accumulated property. It's pathetic and pathetic to help the old and bring the young along the way and beg when the harvest is a little poor. Please go from Yizhen to Tongzhou, so that they can do farm work and be servants as much as possible. " The emperor also obeyed his request. Since then, other counties have also benefited from him.
In the first year of orthodoxy, under the recommendation of assistant minister Zhang Chang, Li Xingui was promoted to qi zhou. The people of Qinghe county went to Beijing to ask Li Xingui to stay in office, so the court ordered Li Xingui to manage Qinghe county as a magistrate. The people have hundreds of hectares of lake fields, which were occupied by Huai' an guards, but the people paid taxes for 60 years. The upstart served in the court, and the court ordered the lake field to be returned to the people. Hungry people stole a cow from others, and Shi Yu sentenced eight people to death. Shinji Guizou, six people were exempted from capital punishment. It rained for a long time, and the Huaihe River flooded, flooding many houses and livestock property. Shin-kyu called for disaster relief, stopping the items that must be handed in every year and the servants recruited to cook and dredge the river. The court approved it. Xinwei dug three big graves to bury people who died on the north-south road. In the winter of the eleventh year, Jin Lian, a senior minister, recommended and promoted Xin Gui as the magistrate. At this time, he has been in Qinghe for 22 years. At that time, Chuzhou was in drought, and it rained as soon as Xingui arrived. Soon, Shingwei died in the position of magistrate. People in Qinghe county built a temple for him to worship.
3. Avoid extravagance and waste, advocate thrift, and translate the original classical Chinese:
Luxury is not enough, why do thrifty people have more than enough? Those who can work hard and complain about culture and education are not as good as those who are ignorant and full of truth.
Translation:
Luxury people feel that no amount of wealth is enough. How can this compare with those poor people who live frugally and are satisfied? If a talented person is disgusted by the public because of fatigue, then there is no place like a clumsy person who can preserve his pure nature because of idleness.
Precautions:
Work hard and complain: work hard and complain and slander. Ease and truth: being free and unfettered, keeping one's nature, is originally the language of Taoism, because Taoism calls a perfect person a real person.
Appreciate:
Everything is relative. If you don't look at things from a relative perspective, you will tend to be absolute, but fix things and keep them unchanged. Just like money in modern life, it is indispensable, but it is extreme to regard it as the whole of life. People who live in luxury, no matter how much property they have, will eventually squander it. On the surface, he seems to be happy, but in fact, he is often dissatisfied, because the more his property, the stronger his desire, which shows that human desire seems to fill the gap of dissatisfaction forever. On the other hand, a thrifty person can live within his means on weekdays. Although he is not rich, he never feels short of money, so he has no wild desires and lives a very happy life quietly. We should be satisfied with life and pay attention to methods in our work. You can't bend your head and work hard everywhere because you have many talents, which may lead to resentment and fail to do things well. For the average person, acting according to one's ability may suppress others' talents and make others unable to express themselves: if a person is in power, his ability should not be reflected in how to participate in it personally, but in how to organize and manage it so that everyone can show his ability. Moreover, any contradiction arises because things are done, the situation is alive, and contradictions begin to appear; People are in a stagnant pool, and their minds are relatively stable. Then whoever does it becomes the center of contradiction, so why not collect complaints? Idle people stay out of it, and of course they will judge from time to time. Therefore, energy should be relative, whether individual energy can accommodate all people's energy. Before you do anything, you should have a look and think.

6. Classical Chinese translation quit in the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan by virtue of talent and arrogance, and was admitted to Jinshi on a quiz.
Self-reliance depends on talent and arrogance. I often take a pot of wine to drink in the wild.
Occasionally rest in one place and drink and recite poems by yourself. It is catching up with storms and strong winds.
An old man dressed in purple led a child to hide from the rain. When Shi Ying Jr. saw the old man's rambling appearance, he was arrogant and rude.
Soon the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed. The chariots and horses came at once, the old man got on the horse, and the guards shouted and left.
Shi Ying hurried to inquire, and he was told that this was Wang Shangshu of the official department. In the past, Shi Ying went to see him several times, but he didn't receive him. At this time, he was very surprised.
I wrote a long letter the next day and went to Wang Shangshu's house to apologize. Wang Shangshu had Shi Ying Jr. led to the porch of the wing, sat down and scolded him, saying, "It's a pity that you are not my relative, or I will give you a good lesson."
After a pause, he said, "You are so arrogant because of your reputation. You can only be a scholar. " Xiao died in Yangzhou Gongcao (state animal husbandry official).
