Su Shi was offended by his words, and his relatives and friends avoided him, but this person did not abandon or give up

In the second year of Emperor Yuanfeng of Song (1079), Xian Yuzijun, who was already 61 years old, was sent to Yangzhou as a taishou.

Tang Dynasty Shiyun:

The green mountains are hidden by the water, and the grass in jiangnan has not withered in autumn.

On the night of the bright moon on the Twenty-Fourth Bridge, where the jade people taught to blow the flute.

Xiao Niang's face was thin and difficult to overcome tears, and the tip of peach leaf eyebrows was easy to feel sad.

The world is three minutes of the moon and night, and the two rogues are Yangzhou.

Here, it is really a good place for the elderly.

Xian Yu was a good official.

In his life, the most worthy of him is the common people.

Wang Anshi changed the law, the goal is to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the consequence of the moment, but the country's money is getting more and more, the life of the people, but broke the previous calm, often tired of running for their lives, by all kinds of officials sent down by the imperial court forced to sell their children and daughters, miserable.

Qin Guan wrote in the "Xianyu Zijun Xingzhi":

The transfer made Li Yu want to take 400,000 taels as the amount, and the public to benefit the people of the road was poor, and it was enough to use 200,000 taels, which was incompatible with the Yu theory, and each had its own interests and stakes.

In the end, the emperor thought that the amount of Xianyu Zijun was more reasonable, and it was his reasoning to fight to halve the burden on the people.

Shaoyou also wrote:

The law of young seedlings has not been feasible for a long time, and the ruling is strange, and it is urgent to send officials to ask questions. Gong Yue: "The edict says: "Willing to take is to be with." How can the people of Lilu be strong and evil to those who have no desire to take? For more than ten years, the messenger had those who wanted to change his law, and the father and elder cried: "The old fortune makes the law changeable!"

As an official for decades, he was well aware that the life of the people of the Great Song Dynasty was not very satisfactory, so he selectively implemented the new law, and those unfavorable to the commoners abandoned it as a cover, preferring to offend the superiors rather than affect the people.

Qin Guan commented on him:

Between Xining and Yuanfeng, the scholar is more utilitarian, and there are many of his vegetarian guards. And Gong Zhongliang was decisive, out of nature, counting the world's affairs, salty and profitable.

(Stills)

There are too many smart people in the world, and as soon as the situation changes, they immediately change their ways, and the great truths that were loudly proclaimed yesterday are not counted today, and they still feel that they are junjie who knows the times. Only Xian Yu Zijun did not change his original intention.

However, to be fair, officials like him have appeared in history in an endless stream, even in their time.

What really makes Zijun famous for eternity is not what ordinary "circulators" in the history books can do, but his firm attitude when his friend is in distress.

Wang Shuizhao's Biography of Su Shi mentions:

Su Shi was captured, the ship passed through Yangzhou, and his friend Xian Yu Zijun had already stood on the shore, hoping to meet with Su Shi, but was awe-struck by the officials escorting him. Under the terrible situation at that time, many relatives and friends had to break off their friendships one after another, and they avoided it, but as an official of the imperial court, they had nothing to fear, and some people advised him to destroy the letters and letters he usually exchanged with Su Shi as soon as possible, and he replied: "I can't bear to deceive the king and deceive my friends, and if I am condemned because of my loyalty, I am willing."

When the wind knows the grass, frankly knows the loyalty, and when there is nothing to do, everyone chants poems to see beautiful women, who is a friend of wine and meat, who can pin life and death, and how can they see it?

Only under the pressure of Mount Tai and when everyone has fled, can they still stand still, is the real confidant.

Xian Yu Zijun left a lot of stories, but what established his historical status was still not to avoid suspicion, and only sent his old friend a ride.

After a thousand years, we can also imagine that the August sun is shining, sweat is like rain, Su Shi's heart is warm, but rarely Yu Zijun, watching his friends who have been offended by words go farther and farther, facing an unpredictable fate, and his heart is cold.
