Zhang Boxing was born in the eighth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty. Born in Yinfen, Henan Province, he studied in the name of filial piety. Renamed Jing 'an in his later years. In the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, he was a scholar, tired of officials and a courtier. He has been an official for more than 20 years and is known for his incorruptibility. He was a famous official in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Yongzheng died in three years, at the age of 75, and was given to the Prince Taibao. Kangxi called him "the highest official in the world." In the early years of Guangxu, the Confucius Temple was dedicated.
Although Zhang Quan was a late bloomer, he was always loyal to his duties and thrifty in his official career, so he became famous all over the world. Emperor Kangxi not only praised and promoted him many times, but also people praised him as "the first official in the world".
In the forty-second year of Kangxi, Zhang Boxing was a passer-by in Jining, Shandong. He was in famine when he took office. He asked people to bring food from their hometown to help the victims, sew cotton-padded clothes to save people from hunger and cold, and donate several boats of money and silk to the people. Immediately after he took office, he took out 22,600 stones from granary to help Hanshang County and yanggu county.
In the forty-five years of Kangxi, Zhang Boxing was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu. After the new official took office, he gave gifts to the governor and other superior officials to show his concern. This is a "hidden rule". Zhang Quan is loyal by nature and despises this ancient custom. He said: "I am an official, and I swear not to take money from the people." Ann can do this. "When Kangxi was in southern Jiangsu, he ordered the governor to recommend a good minister. At that time, Zhang Boxing was the governor of Jiangsu, and no official recommended him because there were too many honest and aggressive people.
Kangxi didn't see Zhang's fist on the recommendation list. He was very angry: "I heard that Zhang's fist is a rare pillar, but you don't recommend it." He turned to Richard cheung kuen: "I know you very well. They don't recommend you, but I do. In the future, you will be an official, do good deeds and make some achievements. The whole world knows that I am a monarch and good at talent. Greedy for the law, the world laughs and doesn't know good and evil. " Kangxi elected Jaco as the governor of Fujian on the spot, and presented Zhang Boxing with a plaque of "Buze Anlu".
Serving the people is the principle that Zhang Boxing has always adhered to. Zhang Boxing did many good things for the people during his tenure as governor of Fujian. The most important thing is to buy food for people. Fujian is vast and sparsely populated. Buy dishes from other provinces every year. Profiteers seize the opportunity to hoard, buy cheap and sell expensive, and reap huge profits, while the people complain and suffer greatly. After investigation, Zhang Boxing immediately decided that the government would buy grain from Jiangxi and other places and sell it to the people at low prices. On the one hand, protect people from exploitation by profiteers; On the other hand, you can earn some money and buy food for people next year.
Therefore, he was accused of tampering with the granary and should be removed from his post for investigation. Zhang Boxing believes that "warehouse is light and life is heavy" and advocates that "warehouse is light and life is heavy" and is finally exempted from punishment. During his tenure, people did not leave their homes because of famine. Fujian people sacrificed to the god of plague and ordered the destruction of these gods of plague, and the ancestral hall was changed to Zhu. There are many nuns among the people, and some people sell poor girls, so hundreds of people cut their hair into nuns. Zhang Boxing ordered these families to redeem their women and choose spouses for them. If a family is too poor to be redeemed, the government will pay for it.
In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Zhang Boxing was transferred from Fujian to the governor of Jiangsu, and the whole journey only cost one or two silver. When he left, Fujian people cried and drove them away. After Zhang Boxing came to power, he launched a "fasting" movement to prohibit his subordinates from eating money and vegetables, which corrected the increasingly common corruption at that time. The movement wrote: "A millet, a baht, is the weight of a hundred people." One point wider, one point for the people; If you want an article, you will be polluted by an article. Although communication is common, politeness is not wasted. Try to think about the tools of literature. Where did it come from? This hospital is not only Bing Xin, but also comrades in various departments. Its service period is always capital, and it has experienced many storms. This article can be found in The Story Before Langchang, Notes of Qing Dynasty, Grand View of unofficial history in Qing Dynasty, etc. It can be seen that an honest official who cares about the sufferings of the people exists in name only.
Corruption and bribery in Jiangnan officialdom are very serious, and flashy extravagance prevails. The so-called "province is the most harmful, such as Jiangnan." After taking office, Zhang Boxing lived up to expectations. When he saw that the governor's office was magnificent and luxuriously furnished, people had to take off all these things and put on clothes. It was at this time that he drafted no feeding. Under his influence and promotion, the local atmosphere has changed.
The county magistrate of Liuhe County, Jiangsu Province sent a landscape painting to Zhang Boxing for advice. When Zhang came home from boxing, he saw this painting, picked it up and shook out a gold bar from the scroll. Find the magistrate and say, "You paint well. I'll take it. I will put in a good word for you. " The king county magistrate was very happy and came back with surprise. When I got home, I poured out a gold bar and returned it to its original owner. Look at the words written by Zhang Boxing: "First, my Lord; A penny is the wealth of the people. A point is wide, and people will get more than one point; Take a text message, I am worthless. " Zhang Boxing's "A Poetry" spread like wildfire from now on.
Officials of past dynasties have always been suppressed and framed by corrupt officials, and this official Zhang is also born to die.
In the fifty years of Kangxi, Zhao Jin, the deputy examiner of jiangnan province Examination, accepted bribes, handed over candidates and publicly traded the number of candidates. After the list was published, many candidates gathered at the school to protest against the government's dereliction of duty. Zhang Quan has a detailed explanation in this article. Kangxi ordered minister ao and assistant minister to investigate and handle the birthday celebration, and Zhang Boxing and Gary came together. Since then, Juren's Wu Bi and Cheng Guangkui have secretly paid bribes and confessed their involvement with Gary. Zhang Boxing asked to get rid of Ge Li. On the contrary, Gary fabricated Zhang Boxing's "seven counts". Kangxi dismissed both of them. Zhang Peng and others quickly reported that Zhao Jin, Wu Bi and Cheng Guangkui were true and should be punished according to law; Gary's bribery is a false accusation, and Zhang Boxing should be dismissed.
Kangxi accused Zhang Peng and others of covering up the ceremony, and ordered the ministers Mu Helun and Zhang Tingshu to re-examine, but the result was still the same as that of Zhang Peng and others. Kangxi said, "As we all know, boxing is an honest official. Although there are enough talents, they like to make trouble and have no reputation for integrity. This opinion is right or wrong. " Therefore, Jiuqing, Zhan and Ke Daoguan reconsidered. Kangxi said, "I can't believe it. I paid tribute to the official with my fist."
Without Kuhn of Zhang Zijiang, Jiangnan will be developed by him, which will probably reach half of the area. At first, the case involving these two people was sent to trial, but it was stopped by Galilee, so the real situation could not be obtained; Sending an official to trial is no different from the previous opinion. You should understand my intention to protect honest people, so that there will be a stable situation in the world. "Corrupt officials will be expelled from the mob and Richard cheung kuen will be reinstated. Therefore, the local people "burn incense and pick flowers, worship the dragon court, reaching hundreds of thousands." "I really appreciate Qin Xing's book The First Officer in the World.
In his career of more than 20 years, Zhang Quan has always been known for his integrity. "Don't drink another glass of Jiangnan water" is the only criterion for him to realize his life. When Zhang Boxing was an official, he once said: "The knowledge of saints can be summarized as the word' respect', so the importance of learning is not to master respect." Therefore, he named himself Jing 'an. Zhang Boxing grew up in a wealthy landlord family. When he was an official, all the expenses such as food and clothing were provided by his hometown. Wealthy family does not constitute an absolute condition for Zhang Boxing to become an honest official. As a generation of honest officials, it is closely related to his belief in Neo-Confucianism and self-discipline. He once said: "If you accept money, you are not only disloyal, but also unfilial." This is Zhang Boxing's life creed.

In Kangxi 6 1 year, Zhang Boxing went to dinner for more than a thousand times, and Emperor Kangxi praised him as "a real person who is close to the people."
Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne, also praised Richard cheung kuen. In September, the first year of Yongzheng, Jaco was promoted to be the minister of rites. Two years later, a generation of officials Zhang Quan died at the age of 75. Emperor posthumous title's "Diner", which means loyalty and diligence, accurately summed up Zhang Quan's life.
Zhang Boxing was diligent and honest all his life, and was awarded the highest prize at that time by the court, which enabled him to worship the Confucius Temple. According to historical records, only Zhang Boxing, Tang Bin and Lu Long were the famous ministers who sacrificed to Confucius Temple in Qing Dynasty. For a feudal official, it is really touching to have such a "trip of Gao Deyi".
