Slander - Liu Zongzhou
Liu Zongzhou (1578-1645), also known as Qidong (一作启東), was a native of Shanyin County, Shaoxing Province (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Liu Zongzhou was a bitter child, before he was born, Xiucai's father returned to the west with his life, and lived in his grandfather's house because of his family's poverty. His maternal grandfather, Zhang Ying, did not take the chinese meritorious examination in his lifetime, but he was very knowledgeable, especially proficient in the I Ching, and was a famous local Confucian.
After living in his grandfather's house for a few years, Liu Zongzhou grew up, his grandfather was old and sick, unattended, Liu Zongzhou went back to serve, chopping wood and carrying water, decocting soup and boiling medicine. Liu Zongzhou's body was thin, and his mother watched him work all day, and she was distressed that her son was sick because the family was poor and strong.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Wanli Calendar (1597), Liu Zongwen passed the examination at the age of twenty, and 4 years later, he was also a jinshi. On the day of the inscription of the golden list, his mother died of illness at home, and Liu Zongzhou, who had experienced great joy and great sorrow, could not become an official and rushed back to his hometown to mourn. After three years, when the period of observance expired, Liu Zongzhou went to Beijing to serve as a pedestrian, and soon after taking office, he resigned from his post and returned to his hometown to serve his grandfather, living for seven years.
In the 40th year of the Wanli Calendar, Liu Zong entered Beijing on Tuesday, passing through Wuxi on the way, visiting Gao Panlong, confirming each other's knowledge, and even getting along, Liu Zongzhou's political tendencies began to tilt towards Donglin.
At that time, due to the problem of Li Sancai's entry into the cabinet, the Kun Party Xuandang besieged the Donglin Party, and Liu Zongzhou expressed his support for Donglin, which was attacked by people, and resigned his official position for the second time and returned home.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Liu Zongzhou was again appointed as the head of the Ceremonial Department of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, Wei Zhongxian had just revealed his appearance, and Liu Zongzhou impeached Wei Zhongxian for pointing the deer as a horse, killing and taking it, controlling the life of the country, and was fined half a year.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, Liu Zongzhou was promoted to the post of Shaoqing of the Taibu Temple, and once again resigned from the government due to illness. A year later, he became a right-hand man, and soon after entering Beijing, he found that Wei Zhongxian had expelled the Donglin party members and immediately resigned from the government. Wei Zhongxian was already tired of Liu Zongzhou, who had resigned from the government at both ends of the three days, and specially approved the four words "to be sentimental and world-weary", cut his citizenship to the people, expelled him from the cadre team, and completely fulfilled Liu Zongzhou's wish.
So far, Liu Zongzhou has resigned four times, and there are frequent exchanges between Shi and Cain. It is no wonder that Wei Zhongxian gave him "sentimentality and world-weariness", in the eyes of the nine thousand years old, Liu Zongzhou was completely pretending to be qinggao, deceiving the world and stealing his name, and the whole load of goods.

In the past thirty years, Liu Zongzhou's official has not become bigger, but his reputation has become more and more famous, and the imperial government has called it "a thousand autumns, a generation of perfect people." The Qilin Phoenix, the scholar Taishan Beidou ," is already a generation of Great Confucians who can be on par with King Cheng Zhulu, and the invisible power of its influence is no less than that of the imperial court.

In July of the second year of Chongzhen, Liu Zongzhou went out of the mountains for the fifth time, appointed as the governor of Shuntian, and when he went north, his friends sent each other, and Liu Zongzhou was quite emotional, giving a poem:
Several times the source fee was pursued, and on this day Linqi's words deepened.
The deceased people in the sea have been metabolized, and the sick bones in the mountains have been depressed.
The private prince borrowed the dragon thing to comfort me as a door Chen Caixin.
What happened even at night to send clear dreams, talking about the scriptures is still shi chi yin.
In the poem, Liu Zongzhou is old-fashioned and laments the world, and some people compare him to the famous courtiers and dragons of Emperor Shun's time, Liu Zongzhou laughs and laughs at himself, mocking himself as a confucius who travels around the world, and Confucius between Chen Cai and Chen Cai, like a contemporary saint, without the slightest humility.

The prefect of the Ming Dynasty was generally Zhengsipin, The Shuntianfu was the seat of the Beijing Division, and the fuyin was the Zhengsanpin, and the power was great.
Jingshi is the first good district, the magnates gather, the elite gathers, there are many arrogant and lawless villains, and the former Shun Tianfu Yin is afraid of power and does not dare to touch it. When Liu Zong took over the matter on Monday, he was selfless with an iron face, just like Yan Luobao, and brought to justice the magnates who had committed wrongdoing.
Emperor Shenzong's mother, Empress Li, was enthroned as the Marquis of Wuqing and was prominent for a time. His family's servant, the dog warrior, beat Xiucai on the street for no reason, and Liu Zongzhou immediately ordered someone to lock him up, inflict a messy stick, and without giving up, put a large shackle on the neck of this evil servant and shackled him outside the door of the Wuqing Marquis's mansion, specifically to let Wuqinghou feel the power of the rule of law.

In the winter of that year, after the Siege of Jin, a holy decree was issued from the palace, ordering the Shun Tianfu to urgently purchase eight hundred cloth bags, and the eunuchs entered the mule and ordered the hundred officials to sacrifice horses. Liu Zongzhou sighed, "This must be someone who tricked the emperor into abandoning The Capital and fleeing south" personally went to the noon gate to prostrate his head and enter the advice: "The safety of the people's hearts is related to the strength and weakness of the country, please ask the emperor to go out of the Imperial Pole Gate, receive hundreds of officials, and tell the emperor that the temple and mountain mausoleum of the Emperor of the World are here, and there is no other way to stick to the outside world."
Counting nine cold days, dripping water into ice, outside the tall and empty Imperial Pole Gate, Liu Zongzhou knelt from early morning to dusk, the winter sun shone on his thin body, and the floor tiles were dappled with fragments. A eunuch hurriedly walked out of the door and read out the holy will in his hand: "The rumor that the outside world has abandoned the Shoujing Division is purely a rumor, Liu Zongzhou should not be gullible, and immediately return to ya to do things" Liu Zongzhou only got up and left.
Within the siege of the city, people's hearts fluctuated, rice prices soared, Liu Zongzhou requested the suspension of the sixteen customs duties of the Beijing Division, in order to stabilize prices, and at the same time used public funds to buy land to specially resettle the poor, opened a porridge farm for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, homeless beggars to enjoy free of charge, and strictly enforced the law of armor protection to prevent adultery.
In the third year of Chongzhen, Liu Zongzhou resigned from the government due to illness, and at that time, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were eager for him to get out of the egg, but the people of Jingshi heard that Liu Zongzhou resigned from the government, and the crowd was excited and went on strike.
Liu Zongzhou has only been in office for one year, but he has demonstrated his brilliant ability to govern, especially the ability to stabilize the situation in wartime, and shows the world that he not only reads well, but also does things.

Soon after becoming the Governor of Shuntian, Liu Zongzhou went on a concert and criticized Chongzhen. Just as he wisely discovered in the first year of the Apocalypse that Wei Zhongxian had the potential to turn a deer into a horse, this songshu analyzed Chongzhen's shortcomings most thoroughly and profoundly.
Although Chongzhen worked hard to rule day and night, Cheng Gong was too anxious, and it was inevitable that he would see small profits and quickly achieve success, so why did Tang Yu rule?
Then, from the five aspects of military management, financial management, reward and punishment, employment, and management of the emperor, the emperor's problems were pointed out, all of which were incisive and profound. If it is said that Chongzhen's rewards and punishments are harsh and cumbersome, everything is too much to correct, everyone is invincible, and his subordinates all pretend to be a false face to deceive the emperor, how can the emperor detect them one by one?
Speaking of employing people, the reason why the emperor was so anxious and busy was because he did not get the assistance of a wise man and a gentleman; he had a hard time getting talent, and he asked for it too much, and the blame was too harsh, and a small mistake negated all the merits of his people.
Liu Zongzhou finally summed up: "The emperor's desire to seek treatment is too hasty. He began to use high-ranking officials Houlu to stimulate his subordinates, hoping that they would do their work in a down-to-earth manner and play a meritorious role; after finding that the effect was not good, they turned to severe punishment and harsh law, hoping that under high pressure, the subordinates would not dare to neglect their duties, and the result was still not good, they suspected that the subordinates' lungs and intestines were bad, they were bent on deception, they felt that no one was credible, and they began to be jealous of the ministers, and once suspicion was formed, the normal communication between the monarchs and the courtiers was cut off and accumulated into a shield. ”
Liu Zongzhou shouted very harshly, "Can one person in the world care?" If one man is wise and his subordinates are not faithful, His Majesty's eyes and ears are sometimes overwhelmed! If the doctors and the people of the country are not satisfied with their own heroic judgment, His Majesty's opinion is sometimes diverted."
What Song Shu said was the crux of Chongzhen's desire to cure the world in the end, and Chongzhen looked at Song Shu and although he recognized Liu Zongzhou's loyalty, he dismissed it as a pedantic and did not accept it.

In July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the cabinet was short of personnel, and the Ministry of Officials recommended candidates from among the officials who were registered, Liu Zongzhou was listed among them, the imperial court ordered him to enter the dynasty, Liu Zongzhou resolutely resigned, and Chongzhen was not allowed. In the first month of the following year, Liu Zongzhou entered the capital, and Chongzhen had high expectations for him, and as soon as they met, he asked the three focal issues of talent, food for soldiers, and liukou.
Looking at the emperor's eyes full of longing and anticipation, Liu Zongzhou opened his mouth and criticized, "Your Majesty is too anxious to seek treatment, the use of law is too strict, the cloth order is too annoying, and the retreat of the world's corporal is too light." The courtiers feared their sins and refused to fulfill their duties. Therefore, there are people who are not used, there are people who are paid but not paid, there are soldiers who cannot govern the army, and there are soldiers who cannot kill thieves." These are no different from what was said seven years ago.

Chongzhen was patient, suppressed the fire, and asked about the soldiers.
The problem of Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, thinking that he was powerless, liu Zongzhou felt that it was very easy, blurted out, and said amazingly, "The imperial outside is based on the internal rule." Uchiha shu, far away from the self-service, dry feather dance and Miao Ge. May Your Majesty, with the heart of Yao Shun, practice the government of Yao Shun and bring peace to the world."
Dry feather refers to the dry shield and feather feather, both for music and dance, feather for literary dance, dry for martial dance. Liu Zongzhou used an allusion from the time of The Ancient Shun Emperor, when the distant Sanmiao rebelled, and Emperor Shun did not send troops to conquest, but did the dance of dry feathers at the court, and it is said that after seventy years, Sanmiao obeyed without fighting.
Chongzhen listened, his nose was crooked, he couldn't cry and laugh, and turned his head to look at Wen Tiren, the first assistant standing next to him, and laughed bitterly. The next day, Liu Zongzhou was appointed as the Left Attendant of the Ministry of Works, and he was not allowed to enter the cabinet.
