Song Zhenzong acceded to the throne, and Xue Kui moved to the temple to learn about Changshui County and xing zhou (now Lueyang, Shaanxi Province). There is an iron supervisor in Xingzhou, who sends 300 people to collect iron and cast money every year, but the income is not enough to pay for the expenses, and the people are miserable. Xue Kuichi's mountain is forbidden, and people are allowed to exploit it for profit. He only collected iron rent and cast money, which not only stopped the tedious work, but also doubled the output, and then moved to Dr. Taichang. He was recommended to the middle of Fujian, worshipped as an imperial adviser, and was called as an assistant to the imperial adviser in the temple. (100 1 year) In October, Xue Kui invited Song Zhenzong to host a banquet for the minister, and even those who were drunk from time to time admonished him to do things in Qin Ying and simply accepted it. In February of five years, he served as a transshipment ambassador in Shaanxi to verify the fact that Tangut Zhao Deming falsely accused Yanzhou people of occupying their territory Heilinping. Soon, he was dismissed from office because of improper recommendation. It was several months before the verdict reached Shaanxi.
In May of the first year of Tianxi (10 17), Xue Kui was recalled to appease Hebei Road, which suffered from locust plague and drought. 1February, changed to minister Yuan Wailang and Huainan transshipment ambassador. In the second year of Tianxi (10 18), in February, he moved to the river and was sent by Huai. He opened the state river and abandoned the three weirs, which greatly facilitated the grain transportation. That year, he transported 8 million stone grains from Jiangnan to Beijing, and his successors rarely reached this figure again. Xue Kui therefore entered the government department as Foreign Minister.
In the fourth year of Tianxi (1020), Xue Kui was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Housing Department of the Third Division. In July of the fifth year, due to disagreement with Li, the third secretary, Yanzhou was with the library doctor. At that time, every time Zhao Deming sent officials to Beijing to collect and allocate materials, he had to privately buy important items prohibited from trading on the border of the Song Dynasty, and took the opportunity to hide the customs duties. After learning the details, Xue Kui invited the Tangut people to transport the materials from Sichuan to Shanhaiguan Pass, and then handed them over to them, thus putting an end to the above drawbacks.
In the first year of Song Renzong Tiansheng (1023), in April, Xue Kui moved to the official department as a doctor, and Longtuge was waiting to be made, so he had the right to know Kaifengfu. Xue Kui takes strictness as the criterion and never delays the loan in handling political affairs. Beijing eliminated it, so everyone was afraid and privately nicknamed it "Xue Youchu". Song Renzong knew this nickname and asked Xue Kui. Xue Kui replied that he knew about it, but he just "killed the rape and avoided it!" Praised by Song Renzong. In July, he went to Qidan as the ambassador of Xiao Hou Shouchen, the emperor of Liao Dynasty. In July of the following year, he moved to Yushi to advise doctors and honesty, and discussed more than a dozen things, such as selecting people, seeking treatment, advocating thrift, and screening emotions. In the first month of the third year, Liao made Xiao Zishun come to the DPRK, saying that the people made by Song could see the Empress Dowager Liao, so the people who listened to politics were invited to see Zhang and offer the Empress Dowager Liu, but the discussion could not be decided. At that time, Xue Kui, as an assistant ambassador of the museum, persuaded Xiao Congshun on the grounds that the minister of the Song Dynasty could not see the back. As a result, the jealous Korean people slandered Xue Kui and revealed the secret of North Korea. In February, Xue Kui became a bachelor of Jixian College, a famous state. Song Renzong believed that Xue Kui had been an official in the western frontier for many times and was familiar with the local conditions and customs there. That is, Qin Zhou (now Tianshui, Gansu) was changed.
Qin Zhou is an important place in the west, and it is always heavily guarded. However, the land is barren and the military expenditure cannot make ends meet. After Xue Kui took office, he worked hard to be thrifty, taught people to improve farming methods, do a good job in business and trade, and increase revenue and reduce expenditure. In one year, he collected 3 million grains, collected 30 million grains, cleared thousands of hectares of land hidden by citizens, and confiscated 654.38+million grains of land rent, with remarkable achievements. In March of four years, Xue became an official, with a bachelor's degree and knowledge of Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan). Thousands of people from Zhou Qin and ethnic tribes listed their achievements and wrote to ask Xue Kui to stay, while Song Renzong sent a letter of praise telling him not to stay.
Xue Kui is in Yizhou, begging for forgiveness for government affairs. At that time, the imperial court bought tens of millions of cloth in Chengdu every year to supply the troops in Qin and Gansu, and some officials took the opportunity to hide for themselves. Xue Kui ordered the people to guarantee each other, and the state government paid the price in advance and concentrated transshipment at maturity, which not only facilitated the government and the people, but also blocked the loopholes. Because of Xue Kui's many achievements in Yizhou, Shu people are better than former minister Zhang Yong.
In the sixth year of Tiansheng (1028), in March, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree in Longtuge, and was transferred to an important position in the central government.
In February of seven years, Xue Kui took part in politics and moved to Zhong Shi. In November of the first year of the Ming Dynasty (1032), he moved the rites department of Shangshu to assistant minister. In December, when I paid a visit to the ancestral temple, Queen Liu wanted to take the imperial clothes, but Xue didn't listen. In March of the following year, Queen Liu died, advised her to be buried, and invited Luo Chongxun and others to expel her. At this time, it was in power. When Empress Dowager Liu was alive, most of the powerful ministers were dismissed, but they were reused. However, Xue Kui resigned many times due to asthma. Song Renzong excused himself from the court, only dealt with government affairs as usual, and said a few words. 1 1 month didn't know politics. He was a bachelor of senior minister, a servant of the Ministry of Finance, and a minister judge.
He died in the first year of Jingwu (1034) at the age of 68. After his death, posthumous title became Jane Su, and her husband Ouyang Xiu wrote an epitaph for him.
Xue Kui's main achievement is that every time he becomes an official, his achievements can be said to be outstanding, especially Kaifeng is the capital, and dignitaries abound. Yizhou is the capital of Shu, rich in products but far from the central government, with changeable people's hearts. "The number of people in the world is the most difficult to manage." Long Xue has learned about these two places, one is strict and the other is wide, which is famous all over the world. When he takes part in political affairs, he will discuss everything, big or small. The family laughed and said it was unnecessary. He replied, "I am not as ashamed as the ancients, but I am afraid that future generations will laugh at me!" " "When he was in the Khitan, he was deeply respected by the Liao people, so that every time the Liao envoys came to the Song Dynasty, they would ask him for news. When they learned that he was a politician, he was called a talent in the Song Dynasty.
Xue Kui cherishes talents very much and has recommended the younger generation many times. Knowing that Yizhou was still out of Sichuan with Fan Li at that time, someone asked him about his achievements in Sichuan. He recommended Fan Zhen, saying, "If you get a great man, you should use a literary name." In the ninth year of Song Renzong Tiansheng (103 1), Xue Kui recommended Lizhou Road as the transshipment ambassador and Li Yi as the transshipment ambassador of Hebei. In the first year of Ming Dow, Doctor Taichang was recommended as an official of Kaifeng. He was knowledgeable and resourceful. Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji were also recommended by Xue Kui before they became famous. The third and fifth daughters were married to Wang, and the fourth daughter was married to Ouyang Xiu. Fan Zhen, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji, Wang, Ouyang Xiu and others were all famous ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Xue Kui, a personal work, has written more than 800 articles in his life, which are pure and full of vitality. His nephew once compiled forty volumes of Xue Guanwen, which is no longer in existence today. Ouyang Xiu called it "the 40-volume articles he wrote in his life, straight and full of energy, just like being a man". [2]
The overall evaluation of the character Xue Kui is resolute and upright, and he disagrees with others. He was honest and clean in governing Yan Min, was good at solving people's diseases, paid attention to educating people's customs, was willing to recommend talents, persisted in making decisive decisions in the face of things, dared to express his opinions, and became a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty.
