During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Xie's ancestors enlisted in the army and settled in Victoria, and later married local Qiang women and settled in Victoria. Xie Jia also moved around several times and settled in Xiexigou, Taopingxiang, Lixian County. In the first year, Xie was born. Because he is the third child, his word generation belongs to Fang, so he was named Fang Shu, which means that virtue and his life, Founder is human.
In order to give Xie peace of mind to study and have a good growth environment, the father asked his eldest son to fulfill his obligations as a soldier and send Xie to the only local private school to study. Uncle Fang studies hard, is diligent and inspirational, and has a high understanding. He never forgets anything when he studies, and his articles are very good. In just a few years, the four books and five classics, and a hundred schools of thought contend, can be praised. In the early years of Jiading, Xie bid farewell to his elderly parents and went to the United States to study alone. In the sixteenth year of Jiading (1223), he took part in the imperial examination and was admitted to high school with excellent results. He was appointed by the court to supervise the empire. In A.D. 1 127, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by gold, and the royal family fled to the south, establishing the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin 'an. By the time Xie entered the political arena, this one-sided dynasty had been languishing in the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins for nearly a hundred years, only half a century away from extinction. At that time, the Song Dynasty was plagued by internal troubles and foreign invasion, and the mountains and rivers were broken. In the north, Xixia, Jin and other countries were powerful and seized many territories of the Song Dynasty. Mongolia also looked down on China's Gankun Golden Wheel. In the southwest, the separatist Dali also turned a blind eye to the existence of Dasong. At home, the Southern Song Dynasty was politically corrupt, treacherous officials were in power, and internal affairs were neglected and diplomacy was not repaired. Within the jurisdiction, it is "vast territory, increasingly complex tax collection, increasing number of officials and increasingly extensive dispatching". The court kept quiet, whitewashed peace, and corruption and bribery became common. "People's poverty is increasing, but officials are extorting interest." The Song Dynasty has fallen into a sad situation without good literature and good generals. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the national situation gradually declined, and signs of national subjugation had already appeared. It is against this background that Xie, a Victorian scholar, stepped onto the historical stage.
In Song Dynasty, the rank of censor was low, ranking first among the eight categories. However, due to the duties of "patrolling counties, ploughing fields and casting money" and "supervising official etiquette", the position is not high, but the power is quite heavy. Xie has read many poems and books, full of knowledge and ambition, and will certainly not miss this godsend opportunity. He carefully analyzed the situation of the imperial court, from the emperor and empress dowager to the civil and military officials and consorts. After mastering a lot of first-hand information and actual situation, he began to write to the emperor to express his views on governing the country, royal officials, self-cultivation and leveling the world.
Xie's ci can be found in the History of Song Dynasty and other ancient books. These scattered records outline for us the image of a new censor who is upright, fearless of power and concerned about the country and the people. In view of the fact that the Southern Song Dynasty was partial, did not think about the sufferings of the people in the Central Plains, did not work hard to "clean up the old rivers and mountains", and indulged in the false peace of "singing and dancing in the two lakes". Xie pointed out: "The monarch of a country should adhere to the virtue of integrity and repay God's high hopes. Revitalize the majestic determination to deal with the world situation. Advocating frugality and simplicity conforms to the natural principle of cleaning up old rivers and mountains. Discover and reserve talents to meet the needs of unifying mountains and rivers. Plan and formulate grand and long-term strategies, and be ready to deal with changes in the current situation at any time. Vigorously promote benevolent governance to repay the grace of God. "
He also put forward five suggestions to stabilize the situation in Huaihe River: "First, let spies be known; second, build horse administration; third, build mountains and rivers; fourth, let managers get close to the city's square fields; fifth, increase rewards and punishments to stop riding and shooting and rescue looting", which showed a strong desire to rejuvenate the country. At that time, Li Zong attached great importance to Yan Fei, treacherous court official and debauchery. Xie was seriously interested in the imperial court, and asked the emperor to "cherish his body, cultivate his morality and cultivate his character", instead of always spending time on partying. He greatly appreciated and admired Xie's frankness and loyalty, and successively awarded Tai Changhe the positions of compiling national history, filing and reviewing, assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and also awarded Yongkang County Hou and returning to China. Xie was born in poverty, but he always paid more attention to the production and living conditions of ordinary people. In the eleventh year of Chunyou, it rained continuously in the Southern Song Dynasty. Japanese Sect anxiously asked Xie and Zheng Qingzhi: "Is it harmless to accumulate rain on two wheat crops?" Zheng Yue said, "It is not too much to look forward, but it is best to be sunny." This answer smacks of perfunctory. Xie said, "Two wheat seems harmless. Silkworms are afraid of cold and may lose less points. " From Zheng and Xie's answers, we can see that Xie's civilian care is more extensive and profound than Zheng Qingzhi's. In the same year, Li Zong lived in the early Dynasty and asked the minister who assisted him, "Have you heard about border affairs?" People who fled. Have you resumed business? "No one can say for sure whether the Manchu dynasty is the martial arts furious. Xie has always been concerned about the Huaihe River and knows the border like the back of his hand. I once suggested opening a waterway in Jizhou County? The ditch ","makes it impossible for Beiqi to enter. " At the same time, "set up another guerrilla in Huaibei and along the river" and "semi-recruit water" are deployed from time to time. The emperor asked about the border, which was of course Xie's strong point. During the reign of Emperor Li, the civil and military capital of Manchu Dynasty, Xie confidently replied: "Fortunately, there was nothing else these three days, and all the people who moved away from Huai went back to farm. If it is poor, the company will give it less money. " Xie cares about national affairs and people, which makes me feel a little gratified.
Once again, "the emperor chose Wumen as the minister." Xie said to him, "Pingjiang controls the eastern sea lanes. Over the years, the government has bought a large amount of grain in the name of "harmony", and the people are overwhelmed and quite difficult. You should choose an official who is both talented and sympathetic to the people. " The sincere concern for the people is beyond words.
"Outside the Qingshan Building outside the mountain, when will the West Lake dance stop? The warm wind makes people drunk, and Hangzhou will be Bianzhou." Lin Sheng's poem "Lin 'an Mansion" reflects the mental state of the ruling group in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is too lazy to advance. As a rare rational bureaucrat, Xie is well aware of the difficulty of starting a business and staying in a business, and clearly realizes that if this continues, it will inevitably endanger state affairs and endanger the rule of the imperial dynasty. To this end, he was saddened and made a face-to-face: "Your majesty enjoys the gift of jade and silk, and it is regrettable to think about turning the Huaihe River into the valley; When you hear the sound of orchestral bells and drums, you should think that the bones of West Shu are a mountain. "His words are inspiring, and his feelings are really from the heart.
Xie's concern for civilians is not only reflected in his daily words and deeds, but also in his thinking and conception of the system. In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, the national land merger became a common phenomenon, and large areas of land were concentrated in the hands of bureaucrats and generals. With the power in their hands, they plundered and evaded taxes, which led to the government's financial deficit, insufficient military expenditure, rising prices, people's livelihood hardship and feudal rule in many crises. In the sixth year of Chunyou, Xie ignored the interests of powerful people, took great political risks, and advised the emperor to implement the law of "land restricted to the people". He said: the state has established its capital in Lin' an for more than 1.20 years. The present situation is that the land on the border is constantly barren because of the war, while the population of China is constantly increasing. "Strong families are growing, and the habit of merging is also growing." All kinds of contradictions are intertwined, which has reached a point that can not be ignored. He pointed out: "Everything that millions of people want to raise comes from millet, and the production of millet comes from fields. Now the people are fertile, all of them belong to your family, renting millions of stones. Wang's hundred acres of land, with frequent annual differences, guaranteed the service, and the official begged for hundreds of ends, so he had to give it to the giant room to avoid the service. Xiao Min's field is decreasing day by day, but his service is endless. There are more and more big officialdom, but the service is not as good as the service. The merger is full, and the people are in trouble. When you are in Sri Lanka, you can't strictly make a system to prevent it. Today, the country uses side salary, which respects harmony. However, families with more power fields cannot add icing on the cake to harmony, let alone guarantee harmony. At this time, the land is not rich, but it cannot be maintained for a long time. Donating money to help the country can help now! " In view of the fact that "the merger of powerful countries has been extremely serious since then", he proposed that "it is necessary to limit the people to famous fields". He hoped that "Your Majesty should stay away" and "the ministers should not avoid complaining", jump out of the gains and losses of interests, and "set rules and stop the merger" to ease the tension of "enemies watching from outside and thieves watching from inside" and ensure that the Song State would never change its surname. 125 1 This year is an auspicious year for Xie. First of all, Xie was awarded the title of "knowing the Privy Council and being governor", assisting Zhao Yun in charge of military secrets and border defense, and "taking charge of major events and participating in common affairs", and was awarded the title equal to that of prime minister. The political status of "combination of walking and horse" 1 1 month Jiayin, Song Lizong Xie Fangshu as the left prime minister, Janice as the right prime minister, and at the same time awarded the position of the highest officer of the Privy Council-a Tang emissary. Xie Yes, "Jin Zishou, the assistant of the son of heaven" shoulders the heavy responsibility of managing the great national affairs of Song Jun.
After entering the phase, Xie was grateful, diligent and dedicated, and devoted himself to the military. In order to better perform the duties of the prime minister, let the dying Dasong realize the revival and live up to the great trust of the emperor. He had to cut through the thorns and advance despite difficulties, and launched a life-and-death contest with chamberlain, the eunuch.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were overbearing, in power and out of order, which led to serious state affairs. By the Song Dynasty, although the ancestral law of "eunuchs should not interfere in politics" had been formed. However, under the protection of his personal attendant Dong, etc. They are still arrogant. The Song people recorded the scene of the eunuch's authoritarian power at that time, saying that "a moment of sound and flame really shook the mountains and rivers and returned to Japan." Guarantee you for three years. Zhong Dalun, a Suzhou native, and others jointly accused Dong and others of occupying their land. The newly appointed supervisor Hong Tianxi accepted the case in time and asked the court to deal with the matter strictly. However, try your best to protect Dong and others. Although Hong Tianxi was "lazy", Li Zong turned a deaf ear and ignored him. June of the same year. Hong Tianxi resigned angrily.
Faced with the dilemma that right and wrong are reversed and justice does not oppress evil, Zhao in the main hall thought of Prime Minister Xie. He wrote a secret letter to Xie, in which he bluntly said that the eunuch was arrogant and hard to see. The current prime minister ignored the problem and did not take measures to contain and correct it. I am really ashamed of my country. Read the secret letter from Zhao. Xie felt ashamed and blushed. He realized that in the struggle with eunuchs and eunuchs, his attitude of "having nothing to do with himself and hanging high" actually encouraged the arrogance of Dong and his gang and caused bad consequences.
Xie took advantage of the emperor's trust in him, explained the great righteousness to Li Zongshen with his brilliant words and profound knowledge, and described the harm of eunuch and chamberlain's interference in power and chaos. Li Zong began to realize the seriousness of the problem. He chose the former painfully, but under the inquiries of eunuchs who could not get lost, he chose the former temporarily. He agreed to reuse Hong Tianxi who was loyal to the country and upright. And awarded him a position in Dali, responsible for investigating Dong's case.
Things are developing in favor of "officials" As Zhao expected. Inspired by Xie, korean king joined in condemning eunuchs and eunuchs. "Too many students are late, Tai Chang Temple worships Jie and Zuo He all talk about making peace." However, Hong Tianxi, who lacks political acumen, did not notice the change of the situation. In the face of the fatuous and lewd school, the traitor was in power, and the eunuch played politics, Hong Tianxi called for heaven and land, and with the sigh that there was no way to serve the country, he chose the road of giving up. He left Lin 'an angrily with the golden seal.
Hong Tianxi's leaving without saying goodbye completely changed the balance of power between the two sides, and also made Xie feel at a loss and lost his foothold. Dong and others, who were laid down and worried all day, quickly cheered up and seized the opportunity to start fighting back in time. They spread rumors everywhere, saying that Hong Tianxi was too inexperienced, lacked brains, was subject to the Prime Minister, and everything he did was instigated by Xie. Zuo Zai tried to take advantage of Hong Tianxi's hand, by subverting the chamberlain, attacking the holy family, weakening the imperial power, and putting the emperor at the commanding height, finally achieving the goal of monopolizing the imperial platform and imitating the second history. Instead of destroying the dissidents, Xie saw himself drowning and was helpless. In order to relieve the pressure, he lost his car and made Hong Tianxi a scapegoat. Li Zongben is a man without a definite view. The last thing he wants to talk about in his life is the authoritarian affairs of the historian's nephew and uncle. Now Xie is doing the same thing again, and Japanese Sect is greatly unhappy. At this point, Dong and Lv Gang will not give up. They will set a trap for Xie and secretly send someone to instigate him to "write a letter to explain himself". Angry can't stand Fang Shu's excuse, cursed Xie ungrateful, ungrateful. Dong and others are interlocking, step by step, instructing Zhu Yingyuan, a close friend, to set another fire and write a letter to impeach Xie. Foolish to listen to rumors, decided to remove Xie's post as prime minister. He wrote: "In previous years, the two sides merged and the factions contended. Retired, Fang Shu is alone, taking bribes as political bribes, and all scholars are ignorant. If the sky is alert and I go to press and don't take away uncle Fang's rights, I will be guilty of bowing down. " In July of the third year of Baoyu, Xie was dismissed.
Xie's struggle with eunuchs and eunuchs ended in complete failure. His move not only ruined his bright future, but also almost put himself in a corner. Its influence not only harms itself, but also harms future generations. Xie's determination and courage. Showed the voice of justice and fearless spirit. In the secret document that Zhao gave him that year, there was a proverb: "If you win, you win, and if you lose, you win." Although Xie is defeated, he is still glorious. The Song people didn't give much evaluation to Xie, and read a lot of materials, only two sentences: one day, "Xie didn't highlight his career, and he was trapped in power at night"; On the second day, "Fang Shu Xiang, his son's administration." Objectively speaking, there are profound subjective and objective reasons why Xie's career is not prominent. Objectively speaking. The Southern Song Dynasty was weak for a long time, and when Xie stepped onto the political front, there were signs of its demise. Although Xie is diligent, he is frozen for three feet, not by one person. Subjectively speaking, Xie is in the imperial court, and no matter how detached he is, he can't do without power and fame. Although trapped in the minister of power. But he himself consciously or unconsciously mixed in the infighting. Abide by and get used to the rules of the game of intrigue in officialdom. So in his short life, he ran around, and his attack and defense were impermanent. In addition to the most tragic struggle with eunuchs and eunuchs, they also encountered confrontation with Shi Songzhi, Zhao Kui and others.
The three-year friendship between Shi Songzhi and Jia Xi is a great evil, even worse than his uncle Shi Miyuan. Du Fan, a scholar in Taizhou at that time, was brilliant, diligent and loving the people, honest and clean, and was highly respected by the school. To this end, Shi Songzhi was both suspicious and jealous, and was very annoyed.
Four years. Du Fanren, who knew the Privy Council like the back of his hand, resigned and returned to his hometown because he disdained interacting with treacherous court officials. The emperor asked the eunuch to recover it, and ordered officials at the gate of Lin 'an not to let Du Fan out of the city. Too many students also wrote to retain Du Fan, pointing the finger directly at Shi Songzhi. Li Zong is addicted to politics, and all major military affairs should be handed over to Prime Minister Songshi. Although "Song Jiu was good at the handle of the country, the son of heaven also suffered", he still relied on him. In order to coerce Li Zong and calm public opinion, Shi Songzhi played hard to get and resigned. Liu Hanbi, assistant minister of the household department, secretly said, "I invite Song to be buried. I am eager to choose a good minister and decide early. " Li Zong softened his attitude, adopted Han Bi's suggestion and agreed to Shi Songzhi's resignation. But only a few days later, Li Zong found himself really inseparable from Shi Songzhi and was ready to use him again. After hearing the news. The whole court was put to shame. Xu, a Chinese book official and assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not afraid of powerful people, and has "attacked" his game of state affairs and reneging on his word. Too many students also wrote to resolutely oppose the reuse of Shi Songzhi. In desperation, Li Zong put Shi Songzhi aside and appointed Du Fan and Fan Zhong to hold the same positions in December. Shi Songzhi's dream was disturbed by Liu and Xu. He hated Han and Jie Yuan. When Fan Zhong and Du Fan became prime ministers, people were extremely happy, and hundreds of officials in the court actually celebrated each other.
But then all kinds of bizarre things happened one after another. In April of the fifth year of Chunyou (1245), Du Fan, who took over as the right prime minister for less than half a year, died of sudden illness. Later, Xu and Liu Hanbi died of sudden illness one after another. One hundred and seventy-three people, including Cai Derun, a business school, "wrote a letter", demanding to find out the reason and severely punish the murderer.
In the face of this series of complicated events. Xie felt sinister and aggressive in officialdom. At the same time, his keen political intuition made him see a glimmer of hope in the chaos. He feels that under the current situation, he should be able to make a difference. Starting from the importance of maintaining the imperial discipline, he wrote to explain the sect, demanding that the holy family uphold justice, thoroughly investigate the incident, severely punish the murderer, uphold justice, expose the truth to the world, and point the finger at the powerful Shi Songzhi. This time, Xie took the initiative to participate in the competition. The purpose is to get chestnuts from the fire. This wrestling started the struggle between Xie and Shi Songzhi as political enemies of the imperial court. Six years later, Chunyou was eleven years old. On the issue of worshipping each other, the two sides once again had a head-on exchange of fire. Shi Songzhi took the initiative to attack and advance step by step, determined to win. Xie kept a low profile and made efforts in secret. The game between the two sides came to an end as Xie entered the stage. After the failure of the struggle with eunuchs and eunuchs led by Xie, he fell from the phase, his rank and treatment fell again and again, and even almost lost his life. It is not difficult to smell the cruelty and cruelty of Shi Songzhi's cronies and minions.
The dispute between Xie and Zhao Kui began with their different political views on Mongolia. From 1235, Mongolia invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale and successively captured more than 20 states including Chengdu, Lizhou and Tongchuan. Later, he was defeated by Yu Jie, a good soldier of Zhao Kui's protege. The Mongolian army retreated and the Song Dynasty began to deploy defense in Sichuan. 1242, Yu Jie was appointed as Sichuan appeasement, and he also knew the Chongqing government. After Yu Jie's transformation, the defenders in Sichuan gained great momentum. The Mongols invaded from West Shu for many times, but they were all beaten back by Song Jun. Yujie made great achievements in defending Shu, and was appointed Minister of War on 1248. He is still stationed in Sichuan. Zhao Kuiyu, a general of the Anti-Japanese War School, was appointed as the Tang envoy 1247, and 1249 was appointed as the right prime minister and Tang envoy, influenced by his father. Advocate Qiang Bing to resist humiliation and foreign enemies. Scholar Xie advocates that peace is the most important thing, and opposes easily provoking war. This political disagreement led to a struggle between the two sides.
However, court nobles and anti-war officials. Still has great power. There was a system of "promoting generation" in the army of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, Rongzhou Shuai, who was on the front line of the war, wanted to control Shi Yaoan. Yu Jie has always wanted to get rid of the disadvantages of "promoting generations" in the army. So, I personally coached 3,000 cavalry to Genting Mountain and sent Commander Cai instead of An. Shi Yaoanping had a close relationship with Xie's sons and nephews, so he took advantage of the situation to "build a car behind closed doors" and asked Xie for help. Xie has different views with Zhao Kui and Yu Jie on the issues of war and peace. He was unhappy to see his family friend Shi Yaoan replaced by Yu Jie's cronies. He sent his cronies to spread the rumor that Yu Jie lost his foot soldiers in North Korea, instigated Shi Yaoan to collect Yu Jie's faults, and used his position to make Li Zong suspicious. With the relationship with Xie, Ann continued to confront Yu Jie. Yu Jie was "unhappy" about this, but there was nothing he could do.
Xie knows Zhao Kui behind Yu Jie. If Zhao Kuangyin continues to dominate the state affairs, his strategy of governing the country will only be shelved and his political ambitions will be difficult to realize. For this reason, Xie contacted other principals, criticized that Zhao Kuangyin was not born in the imperial examination, and rejected Zhao Kuangyin as prime minister on the grounds of "civil and military officials" and "the prime minister needs a scholar". 1250, Zhao Kui's right-hand minister and a Tang Dynasty official were removed. The following year, he was appointed by Xie as the left phase and Tang envoy. Yu Jie was born in the army and was good at offensive and defensive, but he lost to literary talent. Therefore, "where there is sparse performance, where words are used carelessly", Li Zong is very unhappy to read. 1252, Mongolian Wang Dechen invaded Chengdu and besieged Jiading. Yu Jie came to happeneth and beat back the Mongols again. Yu Jie won the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, but Xie never gave up his political prejudice. Xie and Xu Qingcuo, a member of the State Council, criticized Yu Jie for seizing power in front of the Japanese Sect, supporting the soldiers and respecting themselves, and demanded that the Japanese Sect "take it by surprise". Li Zong also knew that the enemy was just around the corner, and Yu Jie was actively protecting the country. So listen without answering. They further incited: "Does your majesty not recruit Yu Jie because of his great power?" He also said: "I have lost my heart. I dare not (come). " With such a shock, Rizong lost his judgment again and ordered Yujie to return to Lin 'an. After Zhao Kui's blow, Yu Jie knew his situation and was under great pressure after taking the order. Going back to Lin 'an is a disaster, and not going back is a crime of resisting the purport. He was depressed and anxious and committed suicide by taking poison on 1253. The following year, Yu Jie's subordinate Wang Weizhong was also falsely accused of sneaking into Mongolia to be executed. Prime Minister Xie sent Ezhou people to lead troops into Sichuan. When the Mongols attacked, Hui Yu was repeatedly defeated, and Sichuan was under the threat of the Mongolian army.
Xie's struggle with Zhao Kui and Yu Jie. Although it is caused by different political views, there are also personal grievances. But what I didn't expect was. However, this farce led to the crisis of Sichuan-Shaanxi War and the reversal of the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty. Xie's "handsome wrong country" has smeared many stains on his political career. Even when Xie was alive. People of insight still attack this behavior. After thanking him, he stopped. I live in a place called Wuqiaoquan in Jiangxi. Years of career. This made him feel exhausted. He wants to have a good trim and live in seclusion like a wild crane. And he knows it. As long as he is in power and Dong and others are still alive, there is no room for him to turn over. He was dormant, waiting patiently for the opportunity. Raise cranes as a symbol of love. Poetry entertainment. The first class is fifteen years. At the same time, with his profound academic foundation, he wrote History of the Four Dynasties of Zhongxing and Illustration of Taiji. He also collected and sorted out the calligraphy and poetry works of the Southern Song Emperor, and compiled a "masterpiece" called "Bao Kui Lu". Ding Jing five years in October, Li Zong died, Zhao Qi ascended the throne on the same day, for the governor. In the second year, it was renamed "Xianchun". "Thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi", Xie felt the opportunity to return to his side. In April of the fourth year of Xianchun, the year of Gengyin was Ganhui Festival. Du Zong went to Chen Uterus to receive congratulations from ministers. Xie took this opportunity to bring Du Zong a piano, a crane and an elixir from Jiangxi. Jia Sidao, a surname, suspected that Xie was taking this opportunity to get wind of the situation and prepare for another visit. Jia is overbearing and plays like the palm of his hand. Of course, he doesn't want to see anyone fighting with him. So he instigated Zhao Shunsun, the remonstrator, to impeach Xie. On its improper attraction to the Lord, it is beneficial to lewdness. Du Zongxia's Imperial Decree Day: "Uncle Xie Fang, in the name of incense, made good use of gold wares and hid the calligraphy and poems of the first emperor. Taking the actions of the first emperor as his own credit is a big loss of the ministerial system, and it is appropriate to downgrade. " Lu Yue and others, with the support of Jia Sidao, have also challenged Xie. They "talked about uncle's defeat in Shu and Guang yesterday, which led to his country's mistake and belittling the people, but now he is good at it in violation of the system", thinking that the punishment of rank reduction is too light. Du Zong certainly knew the origin of these memorials and got the news from Jia Sidao's passive Nuo Nuo. "His imperial edict cut the fourth level (alchemy), took away the scholar of Guan Wendian and the returning duke, and then stopped giving me favor. He also chased Baokui Road and attached a postscript to it." He also wants to "demote Xie Fangshu, his son, nephew and son-in-law". Lv Wende has always admired Xie and continued to write to him after he left office. Calling himself a "portal messenger", Lv Wende stood up and wrote when he saw Jia Sidao and them posing as a donkey. Willing to atone for Xie with his position. Seeing this scene, General Du changed his original idea of severely punishing Xie.
After the failure of this effort, Xie completely lost his political fantasy of making a comeback. He returned to Jiangxi, cultivated himself and lived in seclusion. Taste Fu Tao (Spring Festival couplets): "You should know the face of Qiongya all your life. Speaking of this, "a heart of stone" shows that he has no intention to set foot in officialdom.
In the first month of the eighth year of Xianchun (1272), Xie An, who had already calmed down, enjoyed a quiet and leisurely life. Now, he suddenly got the news that his two white cranes died one after another, and Xie felt that he was dying, too. He sighed: "The crane has become an immortal, and I have passed away." He began to prepare for what was behind him. "Anyone who owes others vouchers. Everything burns ",and" bathe and change clothes, burn incense and look forward to worship, and go to the temple for the second time to wish white. " Invite relatives and friends to say goodbye calmly. "Later, he called Pen and Ink and wrote:" After coming back for seventeen years, I burned incense and learned gods. At present, both cranes are urging them to go home. They are ashamed to cross the sky. "Then he sat quietly with his eyes closed and died soon.
Xie accompanied the Southern Song Dynasty through the last difficult years with his bumpy life. 1276, in the fourth year of Xie's safe death, Mongolian troops captured Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Three years later, when Lu Xiufu, the minister, jumped into the sea with his young emperor, the dull voice turned to Qiantang Southern Song Dynasty in 152. Finally, it ended on the historical stage.
