Talking about ancient and modern times, digging deep into the history of Hebei that you don't know, hello everyone, I am "Qing Shi Jun", welcome to pay attention to the "Qing Shi Guan", every day to bring you fresh, interesting, dry goods full of historical stories.
Today, we are talking for you about the story of Su Tianjue, a good official during the Yuan Dynasty.
Su Tianjue was a native of Zhengding, Hebei, and his father, Su Zhidao, served in Lingbei Province. At the age of 5, Su Tianjue studied Confucian classics with the Gaocheng scholar An Xi, and after entering the Guozi Academy, he was on demand by Yu Ji and others, which made him a great progress in his learning. At the age of 24, Su Tianjue entered the career.
In the first month of 1332, Su Tianjue, who had ended his eight-year career as a "Jingguan", served as the Southern Terrace of Yushi, and soon after he was sent to the south to be "imprisoned". The so-called "prisoner" is to inquire and record the guilt of prisoners. But in Hubei, he found that many prisoners had been wrongfully imprisoned, and the officials who came to inspect every year only had to deal with errands and refused to check carefully, which surprised Su Tianjue. He carefully read the case file, retried the original suspicious and unsolved cases, and some criminals were brought to justice, while the people who had been unjustly imprisoned were freed.
Such a case is recorded in the Ming Dynasty Song Lian's "Biography of Yuan Shi Su Tianjue". Yuanling people Wen Jia was childless in his early years, so he raised his nephew Lei Yi to adulthood. Later, Wen Jia's wife gave birth to two sons for him, and he sent Lei Yi home. Lei Yi took advantage of the opportunity of Wen Jia's two sons going out to sell tea from the boat and killed them. Afterwards, the axe was sunk into the water, and Lei Yi's clothes were stained with blood.
A few years later, the matter was revealed, and Lei Yi also confessed, but the trial officials perfunctorily believed that this was a suspicious case and did not convict Lei Yi. After reviewing the file, Su Tianjue said: "Two and a half years have passed since this case, if there is no murder, why is Lei Yi's clothes stained with blood, and how does he know that the axe is in the water?" Moreover, Lei Yi's residence is very close to the scene of the crime, how can it be judged to be a suspected case? Afterwards, Lei Yi was arrested and arrested and received due punishment.
Su Tianjue held important positions and was upright, so he offended the magnates. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Yuan, the imperial court implemented reforms, the central prime minister changed, and Su Tianjue knew everything and said everything, because he was worried about state affairs, so that he had to have a white hair at the age of 46.
In his later years, Su Tianjue served in Huguanghang Province, Shaanxi Province, and Shandong Province, and because of the intensification of class contradictions, the resentment of the people in Gyeonggi boiled over, and the emperor quickly recalled Su Tianjue to the capital and asked him to appease the people. Su Tianjue, who was dedicated to serving the people, investigated the people's troubles and cracked down on adultery, during which he did 783 good deeds for the people, and 949 people were punished. For a time, the people inside and outside the capital regarded him as bao zheng and Han Qi reincarnated, and praised Su Tianjue.
However, because he was bent on doing things for the people, Su Tianjue also offended the magnates. The minister of the DPRK simply charged Su Tianjue with "incompetence" and asked him to return to his hometown for leisure. Four years later, the emperor reinstated Su Tianjue and sent him to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to supervise finances and salt administration. Years of hard work caused Su Tianjue to be plagued by illness, and he once applied for leave due to illness.
By the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was sent to Jiangnan to supervise military affairs. Shusheng was in charge of the army, but Su Tianjue also achieved good results, he fought in the area of Poyang and Shangrao today, and achieved the record of recovering six counties along the way in a short period of time, which was impressive. In October 1352, Su Tianjue died of illness at the jiangnan front at the age of 59. At this time, the Yuan Dynasty's Jiangshan was already on the eve of the storm.
After his death, Su Tianjue was buried in his hometown of Zhending, and according to the records of the Ancient Records of Heshuo's Visits, his tomb is located in the location of the south two miles of xinchengpu village in today's Zhengding County. At present, the population of Xinchengpu exceeds 10,000 people, and no one in the village is surnamed Su, but everyone still commemorates this good official of the Yuan Dynasty hundreds of years later. The central square of the village is called "Su Tianjue Cultural Square", and there is a sign next to him that introduces his life deeds.
