    Refusing to take concubines©¤

    The scholar-bureaucrats in the Northern Song Dynasty lived a prosperous life and had the custom of keeping concubines and prostitutes.  *Literature Museum* Sima Guang, like Wang Anshi and Yue Fei, was an extremely rare person who did not keep concubines or prostitutes.

    After more than thirty years of marriage, his wife, Mrs. Zhang, had no children. Sima Guang didn't take it to heart, and he never thought about taking a concubine and having children.  Mrs. Zhang was so anxious that she once bought a beautiful woman behind Sima Guang's back and quietly placed it in her bedroom before going out on other pretexts.

    Sima Guang saw it, ignored him, and went to the study to read.  The beauty also followed her to the study. After some flirting, she took out another book, flipped through it, and asked delicately: Sir, what kind of book is Zhongcheng?

    Sima Guang stood ten feet away from her, put on a straight face, cupped his hands and replied: Zhongcheng is a minister, an official position, not a book!  The beauty was very bored and left disappointed.

    Another time, Sima Guang went to his father-in-law¡¯s house to enjoy flowers.  Mrs. Zhang and her mother-in-law worked together and secretly arranged for a beautiful maid.  Sima Guang was rude and said angrily to the maid: "Go away!"  Madam is not here, why did you come to see me?

    The next day, all the guests at the father-in-law¡¯s house knew about it and admired him very much, saying that he was just the replica of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun growing old together.  Only one person laughed and said: It's a pity that Sima Guang can't play the piano, he can only play football!  Mrs. Zhang never had any children, so Sima Guang adopted his brother's son Sima Kang as his adopted son.

    Sima Guang and his wife depended on each other for life.  Luoyang's Lantern Festival is famous all over the world. During the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Zhang wanted to go see the lanterns. Sima Guang said: Why go out to see the lanterns when we have lanterns at home?

    Mrs. Zhang said: Not only looking at the lights, but also looking at the tourists.  Sima Guang smiled and said: Looking at people?  Weird, am I a ghost!

    Burying his wife in a dignified manner©¤

    When Sima Guang was compiling Zizhi Tongjian in Luoyang, his residence was very simple.  So I opened a separate basement to study.

    At that time, the minister Wang Gongchen also lived in Luoyang. His residence was very luxurious, with three floors in the middle hall, and the top floor was called Chaotian Pavilion. People in Luoyang jokingly said: The Wang family is in the sky, and the Sima is in the earth.

    After Sima Guang¡¯s wife passed away, the poor Sima Guang had nothing to bury and could not afford the money for his wife¡¯s funeral.  I had no choice but to pawn the only three hectares of thin farmland I had, put a coffin in the funeral, and fulfilled my husband's responsibilities.

    Sima Guang had been an official for nearly 40 years, and he was a high-ranking and powerful official, so he buried his wife in a dignified manner.  Reread history.  Food for thought.  As the saying goes: If you clear the magistrate in three years, you will earn one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

    In the feudal society, most people studied hard and entered the official career, all for the purpose of showing off their family, glory and wealth, and benefiting future generations.  Shade and descendants.  In front of these people, Sima Guang's integrity is even more valuable.

    In March of the eighth year of Jiahu, Song Renzong granted Sima Guang more than one million yuan in money and countless treasures and silk.  But Sima Guang remained unmoved.  When Sima Guang was old and frail, his friend Liu Xianliang proposed to buy a maid for him for 500,000 yuan. Sima Guang politely refused, saying: "I have been here for decades."  I dare not always have meat for food, and I dare not have pure silk for clothing.  How dare you trade five hundred thousand for a maidservant when you wear a lot of coarse magnolia cloth?

    Praise and criticism©¤

    Although Sima Guang was gentle, courteous and upright, he was an outstanding thinker and educator.

    Gu Donggao's "Preface to the Chronicle of Sima Wen Gong": Only the public is honest and upright, rooted in nature, and is honest in everything he learns.  From childhood to old age, he has been careful and careful, adapting to changes due to circumstances, and never making any mistakes.  Therefore, his writings are not high-spirited. Porridge and porridge are like beetroot and millet, which can cure hunger, and ginseng and ginseng can cure diseases.

    However, his political career was not outstanding. He was a typical representative of the conservative thinking of ancient Chinese scholar-bureaucrats. Although he believed that the new laws enacted by Wang Anshi and others were more effective than the old ones, he actually rejected the new laws because he was dissatisfied with Wang Anshi.  , and returned the land that the soldiers of the Shenzong Dynasty had captured with their lives to Xixia for free.  In the future, the struggle between the old and new parties will be reduced to a struggle for ambition and power, and will no longer focus on the operation of state affairs.

    The Song Dynasty was defeated in many wars, and the country's situation had reached a point where there was no need to delay. Sima Guang still insisted on governing the country according to patriarchal laws and ethical principles, but he could not propose effective policies except for new laws. Zhu Xi said that Sima Guang's theory of Wen Gong,  They didn't take care of each other before and after, but he (Zhang Dun) caught the ailments one by one and knocked them out.  Zhu Xi praised Sima Guang, but said that the sages of Yuanyou were explaining the truth behind closed doors.

    Wen Gong's father, Tianzhang Gong, was born in Qiupu, so he was named Chi; from his father's school, Li Gong was born in the township, so he was named Li.  Tianzhang's eldest son was born on March 1st and was named Dan; later he stayed at Wanling and gave birth to Zhongzi, named Xuan; later he stayed at Fuguang and was named Wen Gong, named Guang.

    Chengdu Literature©¤

    Sima Chi, Wei Pi, gave birth to a son, Guang, in the official house. His courtesy name was Min, also named after the mountain.  So he planted a nan tree in the garden.

    Qingbo Biezhi©¤

    Sima Chi, Tianzhang Pavilion of Renmiao Dynasty, known to Hangzhou.  In order to transfer the troops, Jiang Jun and Zhang Congge were sent to Guozhou.  The house official had stolen official silverware and prison tools, and he turned them into Jun Zhang's private chef.  Another person, Yue Wu, violated taxes by carrying personal property, which was actually a marriage of revolution.  Everyone sent people to ask: ?Have mercy and forgive him.  People say that Sima is the only one who can endure, but his soldiers can't compare.  It is appropriate to have a son who is Duke Wen.

    After hearing this, Shaw recorded-

    At the beginning of Xining, the imperial court sent Cai Tianshen, the prime minister of Dali Temple, to inspect Xijing, and he was also the son of Privy Councilor Ting.  When he arrived in Xijing, he used Nanzifu Yuan as his platform and took advantage of his father's influence to exert great power and shock all the way.

    ??????????????? Henan Yinli Shizhong was waiting for the system and transfer envoy Li Nangong and others.  At that time, Duke Wen of Sima was ordered to stay in Si Yushitai. Because he paid a visit to Yingtianyuan Shenyu Hall, Tianshen became an independent group, and Gai Yin and others did not dare to compete with him.

    After reporting to the class, Duke Wen called the class and said, "Introduce Cai Sicheng to return to the class."  Zhiban Yintianshen established the bamboo and wood tax official Fu Zanshan.  The Gai Chaoyi position regards the official as the superior, visits the Yingtian Courtyard, and stays in Taiwan.  Tianshen will leave today.

    Duke Wen ordered him to stay in Xijing as Yushitai, so he settled in Luo and bought a garden in Zunxianfang, which he named Dule.  He tried to address Kang Jie and said: "Guangshan is from Shaanxi, and I was born in Wei. Now I live together in Luo, so I am a native of the same country."

    One day, I was walking on Luoshui River from Chongde Temple Bookstore in dark clothes. Because I had been living in Tianjin, I paid homage to Cheng Xiucai.  Once you see it, ask why.  He said with a smile: When Sima left Cheng, his uncle left his father, so he was called Cheng.  Duke Wen considered himself a junior and did not dare to predict the meeting between Duke Wen and Duke Fu. Duke Lu said to Duke Wen: "A certain person stayed in Beijing and sent people to Liao Dynasty to investigate the matter. He replied: "I saw the leader of the captives feasting all the ministers and the actors in the drama.  Those who make clothes will seize everything they see and recommend Huang Zhongyong, the virtuous and talented Taichang Qing, Jin Shizhong and Deputy Privy Envoy. Someone from behind hit him with a stile and said: "Sima Duanming!"  Your true name is like this in Yi and Di.  Wen Gong is ashamed to thank you.

    At the beginning of Chongning, Cai Jing and Cai Bian were members of Yuanyou's traitorous party. The emperor personally wrote and engraved stones. They also established it in the prefecture hall of the world, Chang'an, and called for the people to publish the words. The people's words said: The people are stupid and don't know the meaning of the imperial court's erection of monuments.  But ministers like Yuanyou, like Sima Xianggong, were praised by the world as loyal and upright, but now they are called treacherous and evil, and the people cannot bear to criticize him.  The official was angry and wanted to commit crime.  The people said: "I am enslaved and do not dare to resign. If I do not engrave the words "Anmin" on the monument, I am afraid that future generations will think it a sin.

    ?? Wang Jinggong, Sima Wen Gong, Lu Shengong, and Huangmen Han Gongwei were all in the same class at the time of Renzong, and they were very friendly to each other.  In his spare time, he often spends time in the monk's workshop, where he often talks all day long, and rarely sees others. At this time, he is looking to bless his four friends.

    Longchuan Biezhi©¤

    Duke Wei of Han proposed to assassinate Yiyong in Shaanxi.  Sima Jun was appointed as an admonisher at that time, and it was extremely difficult to speak. He took his letter to the political affairs hall. Wei Gong said: "I am here, you have nothing to worry about."  Jun Shi said: I don't dare to believe in Guangji, and I don't dare to believe in my husband for fear of my husband!

    Duke Wei said angrily: How can you be so disrespectful to me?  Jun Shi said: "My husband is always here, but what if someone else is here?"  Wei Gong was silent, but he didn't stop.  Jijun actually acted as prime minister and discussed changes to the service law, which caused many inconveniences.  My brother and his son looked at his affairs and argued very vigorously, but he was really embarrassed. His son looked at Xu and said: I personally heard the words of the Prime Minister and the Duke of Han and Wei of justice and courage, and none of them were false.  If you don't allow a single word in your appearance today, how can you forget what happened in the past?  Although you have stopped, you are really not happy.

    "Daoshan Qinghua©¤

    Sima Junshi and Lu Jifu were having a banquet, and because they were discussing the Dharma reform, they all came forward to take it.  The above said: How can you talk about right and wrong with each other?  After he finished talking, Jun Shi's demeanor became more gentle and refined, while Ji Fu was so angry that he could not speak for a while.  People say: How can a Shaanxi native and a Fujian son get along well with each other?  Duke Wen was in Yongxing, and one day he was traveling to the country to avoid the incense. At the end of the ceremony, a guest wanted to blame the Duke for something. He accidentally touched the candlestick and fell on the Duke.  The public did not move and did not ask.
