Zhai was very sad, so he went to Cai Fu, a native of Runan, and asked him what career he was suitable for. Cai Fu was greatly surprised by his appearance, so he said to Zhai Jinfang, "You are a short story. You should learn the knowledge of Confucian scholars with the help of Confucian classics."
Zhai Jinfang hates to continue to be a short story. Hearing Cai Fu's words, I was overjoyed. He went home on the pretext of being ill, bid farewell to his stepmother, and wanted to go west to Chang 'an to receive Confucian classics education. His stepmother pitied Zhai for being too young, so she came to Chang 'an with him and sold shoes to support his studies and living expenses.
Zhai Jinfang and his doctor studied classics and Chunqiu together. He has accumulated more than ten years and is familiar with classics. His followers are increasing day by day and many Confucian scholars praise him. Zhai was appointed as a Langguan, and he was shot by the first division. Two or three years later, he was recommended to be familiar with the classics and was promoted to Lang Lang.
At this time, he was from Qinghe, and he and Zhai studied similar Confucian classics. Hu Chang is a senior, but his reputation is not as good as Zhai Jinfang's and he is jealous of his talent, so he doesn't praise Zhai Jinfang in the usual discussion. After learning about this situation, Zhai Chang and others get together to study and teach. He sent his students to Hu Chang to ask questions about the sense of justice, and immediately wrote down what he said seriously. After such a long time, Hu often knows Zhai's respect and esteem for himself, and his heart is very uneasy. Later, when he was in contact with the literati he knew, he always praised Zhai Jinfang, so they became friends.
In peacetime, Zhai Jinfang was transferred as a doctor, and a few years later he was promoted to the secretariat of Shuofang County. He is not picky or harsh when he is an official, and everyone he has visited has been promoted, so he has a great reputation. He advised the court many times and was promoted to the position of prime minister.
Once, Zhai went to Ganquan Palace with Emperor Han Chengdi, and the car was driving on the Chidao. Jin Gyeong, a captain of Li Si, reported to impeach Zhai and confiscated his horses and chariots.
After arriving at Ganquan Palace, officials gathered in the temple. Jin Gyeong was talking with Ting Wei Fan Yanshou. At this time, Chen was impeached by the throne. He defended himself and said, "The past should also be punished according to sin. Since Shangshu has a letter about me, he should make a decision here. When I was a Shangshu, I wanted to report something, but I suddenly forgot it and left it in my hand for more than a month. "
Zhai played impeachment, saying, "I ordered the governor to report to his ministers, so I made him a minister. He clearly knew that the secret affairs of the imperial court should be planned in a unified way. Now Mingjun personally handles government affairs, and dare not slack off, but Jin Gyeong is guilty and fearless, and sets an example of not punishing himself in advance. He also vigorously promoted the secret things in the history books, saying that it had nothing to do with the speed of doing things, which lost Shengde's audio-visual. Jin Gyeong's disobedience to the imperial edict is disrespectful to your majesty, and I would like to request impeachment. " Jin Gyeong was dismissed for this.
At this time, the merchants in Beidi County were arrested by the county magistrate of Yiqu County and later fled. The county magistrate arrested his mother and tied her under the pavilion with the wild boar. Haoshang and his brothers gathered guests, claiming to be a captain of Li Si and a captain of Chang 'an County, and killed six wives and children of the county magistrate of Yiqu County before escaping. The Prime Minister Xue Xuan and the Imperial Doctor asked him to send an imperial adviser, a captain of Li Si and a secretariat to arrest these heinous people, and Emperor Han approved.
Juan Xun, a captain of Li Si, reported: "According to the principle of Spring and Autumn Annals, humble officials around the emperor are higher than the prince to respect the life of the king. I am lucky to be appointed, and my main responsibility is to supervise the following personnel to perform their duties. Now, Prime Minister Xue Xuanti has asked to send an official to check on your doctor, who is working with the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister. This is very contrary to common sense. Xue Xuan has never studied Confucian classics since he was born. He just built an evil force through acting. Looking at the crimes committed by the Haoshang brothers, it is just an ordinary family disaster, but Xue Xuan wants to take the opportunity to dominate one party and endanger the country, and the nature of this matter becomes very serious. I hope that China and the DPRK will enter the princes and generals to discuss the ruling and take the national law as the norm. "
Negotiators agreed that Premier Shi Yu should not write to urge Captain Li Si to take action. At this time, Haoshang and his brothers were arrested and killed, and their families were exiled to Hepu.
The original practice was that an officer captain was under the prime minister, and he had to visit two governments when he was newly appointed. If the imperial court holds a meeting, it will be in front of the two thousand stone officials and greet the prime minister and ancient scholars with Si Zhi. At the beginning, Zhai just served as a secretary, and Juan Xun was also appointed as an official minister, but he refused to inquire after the Prime Minister and the court. Later, when we met in the imperial court, we were very arrogant in etiquette.
Zhai observed these situations in the dark. Juan Xun visited Guang Luquan Xin Qingji privately, and met Han Chengdi's uncle and Chengdu Hou passing by. Jun Xun got out of the car and stood aside until Wang Shang's car passed by.
Zhai reported to Xun: "I have heard for a long time that the country is rich and the people are strong, so I should respect my elders. There is etiquette between titles. This is the discipline of kings. According to the meaning in the Spring and Autumn Annals, respecting the public is called slaughter, and the people of the whole country are led by it. When the prime minister came into power, the Lord stood up for him on the throne; If you meet on the road, the sage will get off for the prime minister. All priests should be consecrated to show the world. Juan Xun, as a 2000-stone official, was lucky enough to hold the post, but he didn't observe etiquette, despised the prime minister, despised Shangqing, distorted discipline and was arrogant. His behavior destroyed the state system and disturbed the court order. He should not stay in this position any longer. I ask the Prime Minister to spare Xun. "
At this time, Dr. Taizhong was appointed as a minister. He reported: "Zhai is the master of the country and does not make himself an example for ministers." Not long ago, Jin Gyeong, the captain of Li Si, violated the ban and took a walk in Chidao. He impeached out of public interests, but Zhai didn't know how to blame himself or repent. On the contrary, he has a grudge. He caught Jin Gyeong's casual words and immediately branded fraud as a crime. Later, Prime Minister Xue Xuan, because he killed a group of bad guys and an innocent person, asked to send a history inspector to urge a captain, and made a report with a captain, Yan Xun, to the court, so today Zhai reported the impeachment of Yan Xun. Negotiators believe that Zhai did not help the prime minister with great virtue, but flattered the minister. This is to win the battle and establish prestige, and the roots must be broken. Juan Xun usually acts fairly and honestly, and frankness is hated by traitors, so he can be a little more tolerant to achieve his fame. "
Emperor Han Chengdi believed that Zhai's report was true and that Juan Xun was disobedient and treacherous and could not be immediately demoted to Changling County Order. Zhai saved two officials in one year, and everyone in the imperial court was afraid of him. The prime minister Xue Xuan also valued Zhai Jinfang more. He often warns his own history: "You should be careful to serve the department. In the future, Zhai Jun will be the prime minister, and the time will not be too long."
At this time, Emperor Hancheng built Changling and began to move to Lingyi. Many of them are nobles' children and guests of trusted ministers who take the opportunity to make huge profits. Zhai Jinfang arranged a historical investigation and found that the money of the big traitor reached tens of millions. Emperor Hancheng wanted to appoint Zhai as an official, first tried him to govern the people, and then transferred Zhai to Beijing.
After Zhai Jinfang came to power, he struggled with powerful people, and the people in the capital were very afraid. At this time, the original old gentleman Hu Chang has served as the Qingzhou secretariat. After hearing about it, he wrote a letter to Zhai, saying, "I heard privately that Mr. Hu's law is very strict, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be a Jing." Zhai Jinfang knew what Jin Hu meant, but later he relaxed his majesty a little.
Zhai worked in Beijing for three years, and was promoted to the position of an ancient scholar in the second year of eternity. A few months later, the prime minister Xue Xuan was demoted to the common people because of the poor treatment of thieves in Guanghan County, and the three auxiliary officials took advantage of the mourning of the empress dowager to collect taxes. When Zhai was in Jing, he was also demoted as a funeral for disturbing the people.
After more than twenty days, the position of Prime Minister became vacant, and most ministers recommended Zhai. Emperor Hancheng also attached great importance to his ability, and immediately promoted Zhai Jinfang as the prime minister, and sealed Gao Linghou and a thousand food cities. After Zhai Fang became rich, his stepmother was still alive, and Zhai Fang became an expert, and his support for his stepmother was very pious and thoughtful. After the death of her stepmother, Zhai Jinfang took off her mourning clothes after 36 days of burial and handled the affairs of state affairs. He thinks he is the prime minister of the Han dynasty, and he has a great responsibility, so he dare not go beyond national etiquette. As a prime minister, he is fair and honest, and never asks the county for help for personal matters. His law enforcement is strict and harsh. When he played the shepherd of Jiuqing, the law was harsh and the slander was deep, and many people were framed by his plot. Like Chen Xian, Zhu Bo, Xiao Yu, Yixin, Sun Hong and others, they were all aristocratic families in Beijing, and they were very famous at that time because they were gifted as shepherds and guards at a young age. Zhai suddenly rose to the highest level, and after more than ten years, he rose to the position of prime minister. Zhai impeached Chen Xian and others according to law and dismissed them all.
