Zheng Yue statue
Zheng Yue was born poor and could encourage himself, with the ambition of saving the world in peace and the people; his career was bumpy, although he had heavy uses, he eventually failed to use them all and use them greatly. He was lonely and vigorous, upright, dared to suppress the unhealthy local clan king Zhu Chenhao and the eunuchs in the middle of the court, and were repeatedly hated by Quan Qian and trapped by the small group, although he was deposed many times, he was still honest and self-disciplined, did not change his will, and lived in self-peace with righteousness.
Zheng Yue (1468-1539), also spelled Ruhua, was a native of Putian County, Mingxinghua Province. In the sixth year of Koji (1493), he entered the priesthood and was appointed as a soldier. After being framed for his career, he felt that the literature of his hometown Ofyang was rich, the remains were scattered, and there were no complete classics, so he compiled the thirteen volumes of the "Puyang Literature" and the seventy-five volumes of the column, which were included and published by the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book". The great historian and Yiren Ke Weiqi wrote the "Biography of Zheng Yue" attached, which can be called "a county grand view, a thousand years of victory". "Puyang Literature" has become the best work of local history in Puyang today.
Perform your duties well
Zheng's Pupan Ancestral Hall was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Ming Jiajing was rebuilt by Zheng Yue in five years, and later rebuilt
Zheng Yue was a descendant of Zheng Lu, the Confucian Sect of Puyang and the forerunner of "Kaipu Laixue", who lost his father at the age of seven, relied on his mother and brother to raise and nurture, and worked hard in mechanics. After completing the grade appraisal, he returned to Pu to bury his father due to illness, and later became the chief of the Punishment Department.
Once Zheng Yue shengtang sentenced prisoners, Zhang Fu, the head of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu (WeiShou), sat more and more in the battle and ranked above the imperial official Dong Tianci. Dissatisfied with his arrogance and prestige, Zheng Yue impeached him for violating the court etiquette system, and then pointed out the court's indecent behavior, thus offending the noble power of the court, angering Emperor Xiaozong, and was ordered to guard the prison. Finally, he was reinstated with money as usual. Soon, Zheng Yue was promoted to the post of Wailang (外郎), a member of the Punishment Department.
At that time, the defense of the north was loose, and the attendant Xu Jin was ordered to go to Datong (present-day Shanxi) to supervise the division. The nobles and close courtiers of the imperial court hated Xu Jin as a gangfang and wanted to replace him. Former deputy commander-in-chief Zhao Chang was deposed due to military defeat and bribed to restart, while the Beijing army repeatedly attacked but did not achieve success, and the imperial court discussed sending them to war again. Zheng Yue shangshu said: Xu Jin cannot be replaced, Zhao Xu is not available, and the Beijing army cannot be out. Praised by the Theory of Dynasties.
After Zheng Yue was promoted to Huguang, he stopped the local imperial family from encroaching on the people's land, stopped the expansion of the so-called "rebellion" due to the wrath of the toast, promptly tracked down the pirates of the seals of the soil officials, hunted down the traffickers, punished the corrupt and corrupt prefect of Changde Province, and helped the starving people in Fengjing and Yue. Due to his outstanding political achievements, in the first year of Zhengde (1506), Zheng Yue was promoted to deputy envoy of Guangxi's military armament. He led his troops to quell the rebellion, soothed the local officials, strengthened the defense, stabilized the situation, and was even praised by the imperial court. Soon, he was transferred to Guangdong as deputy envoy, "the prison is empty, and the rule is called the first." In the eighth year of Zhengde (1513), he was promoted to jiangxi as an envoy.

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, whose fief was in Hongzhou (present-day Nanchang), Jiangxi, befriended the eunuch Liu Jin (劉瑾), who ran amok, oppressed the people, and interfered with law enforcement. After Zheng Yue arrived, li zhenfengji was hated by Zhu Chenhao. Zheng Yue was promoted to the position of left and right envoy in Jiangxi, controlling the military and government of a province. King Chenhao of Ning forcibly seized hundreds of millions of people's land, and the people built villages to protect themselves. Zhu Chenhao wanted to send troops to attack, but was resolutely stopped by Zheng Yue. It just so happened that Li Mengyang, the deputy envoy of Tixue, and inspector Yushi Jiang Wanshi attacked each other, and Zheng Yue was ordered to investigate and deal with the matter. Relying on Zhu Chenhao, Li Mengyang arrested Zheng Yue's close officials and family members and slandered Zheng Yue's son Zheng Hong for accepting bribes in order to blackmail Zheng Yue. Zhu Chenhao went to the imperial court and arrested and tortured Zheng Hong. Inspector Ren Han was unable to make a decision due to concern, and the emperor sent Dali Qing to investigate the case with Zhi Zhongzhong. Just when Zheng Yue was suffering from disasters because of Geng Zhi's indignation and accumulation of grievances, his colleagues, in order to avoid disasters, either intimidated by the situation or at the expense of profit, betrayed their conscience, fell into the well, echoed the perjury, and because Zhu Chenhao obstructed from it, Zheng Yue was on the verge of desperation, and his life was hanging in the balance. Lin Tingxuan, a Fujian Changle man who was then an envoy to Guangdong, learned of the suffering of his former subordinate Zheng Yue and rescued him, leaving behind a golden ten to provide living expenses. The following year, when Lin Tingxuan was promoted to the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, he took a special route to Jiangxi and persuaded Zhu Chenhao to release Zheng Yue and his family and return to Fujian together. Later, Lin Tingxuan died, and Zheng Yue wrote the "Letter of Conduct" calling him "flesh and blood of life and death, and his virtue is very thick to me." In the end, Zheng Yue was deposed as a civilian. In August of the fourteenth year of Zhengde (1519), Zhu Chenhao was captured and killed for rebellion, and Li Mengyang was also stripped of his citizenship for his involvement. On the recommendation of hundreds of officials, the imperial court used Zheng Yue as a political envoy in Sichuan, but Zheng Yue was unable to take up his post due to the death of his mother.
Zheng Yue once wrote "The Record of The Troubled" in the midst of his troubles, and later wrote a poem to express his ambition to save the world of the people who "resisted decadence in the period of time and cared for Yuan Yuan", but he was framed by the treacherous villain who "talked and laughed about ambushing the soldiers"; lamented that the emperor "was deaf and deaf", so that "the reputation is destroyed with love and hatred, and the auspicious murder is difficult to rely on" and sighed unjustly; expressed the feelings of "Li Zhen is the ultimate auspicious, fasting the heart and understanding the mysteries", and self-security with righteousness.
In the sixteenth year of Zhengde (1521), Sejong ascended the throne, appointed old ministers, assisted the New Deal, and used Zheng Yue as the right deputy capital Yushi and inspector of Jiangxi. When they arrived at the post, the people of Jiangxi embraced the Tao and gathered and gathered, and they rushed to raise their hands and raise their foreheads to celebrate. After taking office, Zheng Yue asked the imperial court to deal with the aftermath of the rebellion against Zhu Chenhao, to provide relief to the counties and counties that suffered from the military disaster, to evaluate the military merits of the crusade, to pursue the ministers who died, and to exonerate the more than a thousand families who were forced to help Zhu Chenhao rebel and sit on the crime.
Zheng Yue once wrote a poem to express his feelings of having lofty ambitions and repaying the country with white heads: "Ten years of falling back to The Creek Mountain, gargling stone eyes and clouds are only idle." The yellow paper turned over to the door in a hurry, and the white head was stubborn. Don't be pregnant with the situation is worth three autumns, feel the real super hundred generations. Ask the birds to the sunset, and when will the clouds be still. ("Zhengde Xin has re-raised to patrol Jiangxi Shuhuai")
Strict rule of law

Shortly thereafter, Zheng Yue was promoted to the rank of Secretary of Dali Temple. His close friend, Lin Jun , a Yiren , was also appointed as the Shangshu of the Punishment Department in his ancient years, and together they assisted in the New Deal. Zheng Yue's law enforcement punishment is prudent and fair, and strives to avoid deviations from acting according to circumstances and being deformed and light.
In the first month of the first year of Jiaqing (1522), Li Long, the general of Gansu, used his power for personal gain, and because inspector Xu Ming was upright and did not make him profitable, Li Long instigated his subordinates to burn the office, kill Xu Ming and burn his body, forcing the eunuch Dong Wenzhong to falsely accuse Xu Ming of causing the incident to because of the reduction of military food. Zheng Yue was ordered to join Zhen Fu for interrogation, clarify the facts of the case, behead Li Long, punish Dong Wenzhong, and sternly handle this vicious case.
Zheng Yue was also concerned about agricultural affairs, and when he went to Shaanxi, he passed through Gyeonggi, Henan and other places, observed the situation of rivers and rivers, and lamented that "the land is flat and the land is flat, and there is no benefit to the rivers and the oceans." After returning to the dynasty, Shangshu suggested that the local people learn from the Jiangnan people to open fields and build embankments, dig canals for irrigation, develop fertile soil, control floods, and specialize in agricultural affairs. It is called "the strategy of the foot country (rich country)" by the Yi people and the great historian Ke Weiqi.
In the first year of Jiajing (1522), in response to the serious problem of the internal ministers interfering in law enforcement and the court being lenient and lenient, Zheng Yueshang made a declaration of his position and advised that "His Majesty should learn from the rules of the previous generations, and keep the laws of the ancestors closely, and from now on, if there are internal officials and internal servants who have committed crimes, listen to the questions of the ministry and the court, and issue the Dali Temple examination record, you can show the rule of the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Yue is not taking power and assuming his own responsibility, but affirms law and discipline and adheres to the principle of fair law enforcement. However, he was fined two months for discussing the "great gift" and disobeying the will.
Soon Zheng Yue was again promoted to the post of Right Attendant and Left Attendant of the Military Department, quelled the Mutiny of the Datong garrison in Shanxi, and stopped some generals from impersonating their nephews as eunuchs to repay meritorious deeds and cross the ranks. In June of the fourth year of Jiajing (1525), Yushi Nie Leopard caught the wind and shadows, but impeached Zheng Yue with rumors. Zheng Yueshang pleaded and asked for Zhi Shi. Even though Zheng Yue returned to Pu for nearly fifteen years, during which time he was recommended for use six times, he could not reuse it because of obstruction.
For his own slander, Zheng Yue also gave a poem to the book: "The long side of the class lacks inches, so the mountain is late to return." Dare to call the three deposed from the willow, even close to the Kansai Xie Sizhi. Suitable for the rivers and lakes to eventually pass away, forget the machine gull bird to break the deep doubts. Cangzhou Wudao is still there, and the late Tibetan cultivation is in the period of mourning. "Although the poem "Please Letter Sense" has been deposed many times, it is still clean and self-respecting, and does not change its will.
Resigned and returned to the field

During zheng yue's stay at home, he built the ancestral ancestral shrine of the Zheng clan with his clan, increased the sacrifice field, and built the Zheng ancestral hall in the South Lake to commemorate the merits of the ancestor Zheng Lu and renovate the tomb of the ancestors. For public facilities that are beneficial to the township, such as opening canals and building bridges, Zheng Yue did not hesitate to spend money and enthusiastically advocated the construction. In the spring of the eighth year of Jiajing (1529), Zheng Yue personally proposed to the prefect Ye Guan, Wang Wannian, and Guo Fan, the observer, to rebuild the Hejia Bridge, the Zhongqu Bridge, and the Shixi Bridge, so that "wealth is not out of the official, and the labor is not enough for the public."
Zheng Yue lives in the countryside and is close to Lin Jun and Ke Weiqi. In the winter of the sixth year of Jiajing (1527), Zheng Yue proposed to imitate the story of Tang Baijuyi's association and set up the YilaoHui to take pleasure in singing chants, and the members were Lin Maoda (Nanjing Dali Temple Qing, then seventy-five), Lin Jiaji (virgin, then sixty-seven), Wu Xiyou (Sichuan deputy envoy, then sixty-seven), Lin Jiqiong (Yushi, then sixty-five), Song Yuanhan (Zhixian, then sixty-five), and Lin Younian (Guizhou deputy envoy, then sixty-four), all of whom were the generations of the township deity. Yi Lao will make rules, the feast is not five flavors, the vegetable and fruit soup is not limited, the wine is five or seven lines, and the wine is not forced to be persuaded, so as to show the true feelings. Zheng Yuezuo wrote that the Yi Elderly Association was not simply a pleasure of feasting, but a demonstration to change the extravagant and ugly customs of the time.
Editing literature

After Zheng Yuezhishi returned to Li, he felt that the documents of puyang dynasties were abundant, and the remains were scattered, and there were no complete classics. Lin Jun, Fang Liangyong and Huang Gong, who live in the countryside, all feel the same way. Based on Song Duanyi's handwriting of six volumes of the testaments of the ancestors of Puyang, Zheng Yue took the three counties of Putian, Xianyou, and Xinghua, and edited the poems of Liang and Chen Zhiming into 13 volumes; and took the deeds of celebrities to become 74 volumes. In the fourth year of Jiajing (1525), Xia Chengshu was named "Puyang Literature". Fifty years later, Ke Weiqi wrote the "Biography of Zheng Yue" attached, which can be called "a county grand view, a thousand years of victory". In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), it was almost burned down due to the disaster, and only one part remained. By the forty-fourth year of the Wanli Calendar (1616), Huang Qilong, the deputy envoy of yiren and Guangdong, fearing that the manuscript would be annihilated, was republished and republished, which was passed down to the world and became the best work of local history in Puyang today.
In the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), Zheng Yue died of illness at the age of 72. Zheng Yue was diligent in his life, and wrote "Records of The Difficulties", "Records of the Journey to the West", "Nan Huanlu "Shanzhai Pure Manuscript", "Shanzhai Yin Manuscript", "Shanzhai Continuation Draft", "Song Discussion", "Refutation Draft", "Puyang Literature", "Puyang Zhiluo" and so on. Due to the burning of the carved plates in the Wo disaster, there are only a few species, and the extant "Shanzhai Anthology", 7 volumes of fan poems, 17 volumes of texts, only the original collection is less than 23 out of 10. According to the evaluation of the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book • Summary", Zheng Yue's poetry is smooth and deep in the body of irony. Although the strips are more than enough, the strange beauty is insufficient, but the quality is simple and easy, and it is not stained with the falsehood of the hook and thorn.
Zheng Yue was born poor and can be self-motivated, and his career is bumpy, although he has been reused, he has not been able to use it all. This is the common trajectory of all the lonely and energetic festivals in history, loyal to the king and the country. As Zheng Yue was released from exile after Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was banned and released from jiangxi, Yong Shi Shuhuai said: "Du Que ci cut, lan paste sits on the pin (oak trees are not cut because they are not wooded, and orchid grass is sold and melted because they can be refined for hair). Each has its own advantages, and the first and last is guaranteed. Remembering to see Su Weng (Lin Jun), he calmly retreated. Fame is difficult to live in for a long time, and the forest is sent to the shadows. Fortunately, He returned to his first service, and Yunchen obeyed the old man. ("Return to the provincial city to be reported, the book in the shadow of the book").
