Chen shou, word Ben ren, newcomer. During the Hongwu period, my grandfather Chen Zhihong succeeded his brother in guarding Liaodong and joined the Ningyuanwei army. When Chen Shou was young, he was very poor. He picked up the money lost by others and waited until midnight to return it to the owner. Learning from fellow countryman He Qin, he was admitted to Chenghua for eight years and was awarded the post of Family Education Department.
Patrol and publicize the frontier defense, impeach and recall the eunuch who protects the country for misconduct. He was sent to Qin prison for impeaching his younger brother, eunuch and monk. Get released, accumulate merits, and be promoted to any position.
In the first year of Hongzhi, Wang Shu was in charge of the official department and promoted Chen Shou to Cheng Dali. Liu Ji hated Wang Shu, suggesting that the imperial censor impeached Chen Shou and was unfamiliar with criminal law, hoping to blame Wang Shu. Chen Shou was finally transferred to Shao Qing, Guanglu, Nanjing, and he was appointed as Hongqiqing on the spot.
In the winter of 13th year, Chen Shou became the governor of Yansui with his right capital status. The fire curtain invaded the frontier many times, and the former town inspector was convicted and left. After Chen Shou took office, he gathered equipment and funds, sent spies widely, arranged men and women into ten roads respectively, and cooperated with each other to rescue, and his military strength began to inspire. In the second year, the enemy and bandits invaded on a large scale, and first sent more than 100 cavalry to lure the enemy.
The generals demanded an attack, but Chen Shou disagreed. He personally paid the bill, led dozens of cavalry, and directed the diet on the Hu bed. Seeing this, the enemy was puzzled and led his troops back. The royalist army attacked the enemy, beheaded and captured many enemies. The imperial court sent Miao Kui and other soldiers to arrive, and Chen Shou played a good news. Filial piety rewarded him with a raise. Miao Kui wants to win and destroy the enemy's lair.
Having been stationed in Yansui for a long time, it is impossible to calculate the grain and grass consumed by 30 thousand war horses every day. Chen shou asked to graze near the frontier fortress, close to the aquatic plants, and everyone was unwilling. Chen Shouxian got on the horse, and everyone followed him, saving hundreds of thousands of military expenses. After winning the battle, he was advised to write down the names of his children. Chen Shou said, "My children can't even shoot arrows and use spears. How can they be rewarded with the soldiers who fought bloody battles! " Finally, I also refused.
In sixteen years, Chen Shou was the right deputy capital, in charge of the South Hospital. During the period of Zheng De, Liu Jin arrested Daisy and Bo Yan, went to Nanjing to take the road, and Chen Shou went directly to the court for rescue. Liu Jin was so angry that he resigned from his post. Soon after, he was sentenced to storage loss in Yansui and fined 2000 meters for cloth 1500 horses. Chen Shou's poverty can't be compensated, so he wrote to the emperor to state his situation.
Liu Jin found out that Chen Shou was pitiful and was exempted from punishment. Eunuch Liao Tang guarded Shaanxi. Liao and Tang Dynasties were greedy and cruel. Yang Yiqing thinks that Chen Shou is resolute and decisive. In the first month of nine years, he served as the governor of Shaanxi. Liao and Tang dynasties were originally ordered to make felt tents 160, and the remaining tens of thousands of taels of silver were intended to be given to powerful officials. Chen Shou told the competent authorities to keep them for loan relief, and warned Liao Tang not to collect property in the name of paying tribute to the court.
Liao Tang was angry and planned to crowd him out. Chen Shou wrote to ask for retirement four times, but none of them were allowed. Dozens of minions of Liao and Tang dynasties were scattered in various counties to exploit the people, and Chen Shou ordered the arrest. These people all fled back, and their arrogance was scared away.
This autumn, Chen Shou was appointed assistant minister of Nanjing Ministry of War. Shaanxi people cried and crowded around his car, unable to start for a long time. After a year, I asked to retire, was promoted to the minister of punishments and retired.
When Chen Shouren gives a speech, he speaks bluntly about current politics, but he doesn't like impeaching others. He said: "My father warned me not to be an official of the Ministry of Justice, because officials of the Ministry of Justice can easily wronged people. Accusing the authorities is even worse, and I dare not speak casually. "In the first year of Jiajing, the imperial edict Chen Shoujin conferred a knighthood and sent officials in charge to offer condolences, at the age of 83.
Chen Shou has been an honest official for forty years, but he is homeless. When he lived in Nanjing, his residence could not shelter him from the wind and rain. After Chen Shou's death, he wrote to Li Chongsi and Yin Fu Kou Tianxu to collect his body. A few years later, relatives and friends funded the old one and then buried it in the new one.
The original text of Chen Shouchuan is as follows:
Chen shou, whose word is benevolence, is a newcomer first. Zu Zhihong and Hong Wu kept Liaodong on behalf of their brothers, so they gave birth to Ning Yuanwei. Life is short, you are poor, and you get an inheritance. You sit down and keep it until midnight, and then return it to your master. Xue, a fellow villager, was a scholar in Chenghua for eight years and taught family affairs. Relying on propaganda and border defense, illegally guarding those officials who are unruly in the middle. I also tasted the Wan Guifei brothers and the official 1 Liang Fang and monk Ji Xiao, who were imprisoned. Interpretation, repeatedly moved the capital to things.
In the first year of Hongzhi, Wang Shu was appointed as the official department and was appointed as Cheng Dali. Liu Ji repented and laughed at the suggestion that Yushi lived illegally without learning the criminal name, hoping to forgive him. Unexpectedly, I was transferred to Shaoqing, Nanjing Guanglu, and I was transferred to Hong Rongqing.
In the winter of thirteen years, the censor was strict and ruled by the right. Fire Screen 2 stole the border and all the former town inspectors were offended. Life is long, the army is solid, spies are widely distributed, and the horses are divided into ten ways to help each other, and the military situation begins to shake. Next year, the ministries will enter the country, and they will be lured by more than a hundred rides first. Please hit it, and you will live forever. Since the account, with dozens of riding, according to Hu Chuang refers to eating and drinking. Kou saw it, doubted it, and led it away.
Various attacks have gained a lot. The imperial court sent Miao Kui and other heavy troops, but his life has won. Filial piety to the family, add a note. Desire wins the battle. Stationed in Yansui for a long time, the cost of 30 thousand horses a day is moderate. Please leave the pasture, and if you are near the jam, it will be like grass, and everyone will be reluctant. Life crosses the horse first, and everyone follows, saving hundreds of thousands. When the battle was successful, or when the children were advised to give names, Shou said, "My children don't know how to bow, why not reward them with blood soldiers?" I can't believe it.
In sixteen years, the right deputy was in charge of the South Hospital. At the beginning of Zheng De, Liu Jin arrested Dai and Bo. Nanjing carved knives and tried to save them. King's anger made him an official. Looking for storage loss of rock spike, fined 2300m, cloth 1500. Poor can't compensate, and the last chapter is private prosecution. Jinlian knows how to live a poor life, so it is not necessary. Han Guan in Liaotang Town was greedy and violent in Shaanxi, and Yang Yiqing celebrated Congo's birthday. Since the first month of the ninth year, he has caressed his land.
I was lucky to get a letter at the beginning of the church, making 160 carpets and tens of thousands of gold. Shouba's company stayed behind to prepare for this shock and once again warned the church not to make false donations. Dump when you're angry. Sushi is not allowed to beg for rest. Dozens of Tang's minions left the county for profit, and after a long time, they all fled back, which was beneficial to their lives. Autumn worship Nanjing ministry of war assistant minister, Shaanxi people call in, can't move to Japan. Over the years, begging for terrible bones, he entered the minister of punishment and became an official.
Life is about giving things, saying that there is no secret politics, but I don't like to disintegrate people, saying, "My father warned me not to be a criminal officer, which is easy to waste people." I dare not talk nonsense. " Jiajing changed the Yuan Dynasty, entered Yipin, and sent ministers to ask questions. There were three people who were eighty at that time.
Shou Lian, an official for forty years, was homeless. Living in Nanjing is not shelter from the wind and rain. His minions were also captured by Prime Minister Li Chongsi and magistrate Kou Tianxu. A few years later, with the help of the old, I was buried in a new one.

Brief introduction of Chen shou
Chen Shou (233-297), the word Chengzuo. A native of Han 'an County, Brazil (now Nanchong, Sichuan). A famous historian of Shu and Han dynasties in the Three Kingdoms and Western Jin Dynasty.
When Chen Shou was young, he was eager to learn. Learn from Qiao Zhou, a scholar in the same county. In office, he is the chief book guard, the secretariat of Dongguan, the official of Guan Ge, and the assistant minister of Huangmen. At that time, eunuch Huang Hao was authoritarian, and his ministers followed suit. Chen Shou was repeatedly dismissed because he refused to give in to Huang Hao. After Shu fell to Jin, he worked as a writer, magistrate, scholar and prince. He was demoted and criticized many times in his later years. In the seventh year of Yuankang (297), he died at the age of 65.
In the first year of Taikang (280), after the Jin Dynasty ended the division of Wu, Chen Shou completed the biographical historical masterpiece "The History of the Three Kingdoms" after ten years of hard work. This book completely describes the historical panorama of China from division to unification in the last hundred years from the end of Han Dynasty to the beginning of Jin Dynasty, and is called "the first four histories" together with Historical Records, Hanshu and Houhanshu.
Historical achievements
History of Three Kingdoms
Chen Shou's main work is The History of the Three Kingdoms, which is a biographical and dynastic history, recording the period of opposition between Wei, Shu and Wu. Among them, Shu Wei has 30 volumes, Shu Shu 15 volumes and Wu Shu has 20 volumes, totaling 65 volumes. It records the 60-year history from 220 AD (the first year of Huang Chu, Wei Wendi) to 280 AD (the first year of Taikang, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty).
Chen Shou was a minister of the State of Jin, who succeeded Wei and won the world, so the history of the Three Kingdoms respected Wei as orthodox. In Shu Wei, Cao Cao wrote a biography, while Shu Shu and Wu Shu just passed it on without discipline. Liu Bei is called a great master, and Sun Quan is called a great master. This is an example of compiling history books to serve politics, and it is also a feature of the History of the Three Kingdoms.
Although Chen Shou respected Wei as orthodox in name, in fact he wrote a Book of Wei Shuwu, which truthfully recorded the tripartite confrontation between the three countries, showing that they were independent, not subordinate to each other and had equal status.
The History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou, like the first three histories, is also a private history book. The History of the Three Kingdoms was well received by people at that time after it was written. Chen Shou's narrative is short, the three books are rarely repeated, and the notes are informative. He is also very cautious in the selection of materials, which is valued by historians of past dynasties. Historical Records, History of Han Dynasty, History of Later Han Dynasty and History of the Three Kingdoms are collectively called the first four histories, which are considered as biographical historical masterpieces.
However, the History of the Three Kingdoms also has some shortcomings, which can not be ignored. In narration, apart from contradictions in some biographies, its biggest shortcoming is that it pays more attention to Cao Wei and Sima Shi, which has been criticized by historians in past dynasties. In addition, the whole book only has history and biography, and there is no ambition and table, which is a big deficiency.
Other works
Chen shou is also the author of 50 ancient national chronicles and 10 biographies of Yidu retirement, all of which have been lost. There are also seven articles on litigation, discussing how to carry out reform according to laws and regulations. There are also two articles: Taboo Interpretation and On Guangguo. ?
The Complete Works of Jinwen also includes the Catalogue of Books on Zhuge's Desk, and refutes Pu's exposition on the former shogunate of Wang Chang.
