Official history

Zhao Chuo, a native of Hedong, is generous and resolute. The Zhou Dynasty is the history of the early government. I was honored as a corporal in the Xia Dynasty, and I was diligent. I know a little. I'm tired to be a sergeant in literature and history. My father left his post with difficulty, and was ruined by grief. The world called him filial. Not only to avoid mourning, but also to teach sergeant. Gaozu was the prime minister. Knowing his integrity, he led him to join the army as a clerk. Looking for the doctor who moved the palm, Yun Hui, the general manager of the March, fought against barbarians, paid tribute to the instrument, and gave thousands of things.

Gao Zu Zen position, granted, accepted the law, and passed the examination and even connected to Dali Zheng. I found an assistant minister of Shangshuguan and soon turned to an assistant minister of punishments. Liang Shiyan and others awarded 300 knots, handmaiden 10 and 20 horses. Every time I play (3), I will seriously say and boast, and gradually see the pro-weight. The thief has no choice but to be punished. Chu remonstrated: "Your Majesty is tolerant of Yao and Shun. The law of human trust can be lost! " I accepted it at once, because I said, "If there are many smells, it is better to count the old ones." Moved to Shaoqing Dali. Therefore, Chen will be a little Maha, and his son will make an insurrection in Jiangnan, so Maha should sit down. He said: "the world is not twenty years old, so what can I do?" The son of his name is forced by people. " Forgive Maha. You can't remonstrate, but you can't take it away. If you want to forgive it, you can eat it back. Chuo said, "I dare not leave the court because I am still in prison." The master said, "Dali, it forgave Maha for me." Released by fate. Xin Xu, assistant minister of punishments, tasted it and was ashamed of it. The vulgar cloud was beneficial to officials, but he thought it was disgusting, so he cut it off. Chuo said, "I dare not die according to law." He shouted angrily, "Do you cherish your feelings but not yourself?" He ordered his left servant to shoot Gao Jiong and behead him. Chu said, "Your Majesty would rather kill the minister than Xin Xu." When he arrived at the imperial court, he took off his clothes and beheaded his head. The messenger said, "What?" Right: "Law enforcement is one-minded, dare not cherish death." I brushed my clothes and went in, but I left it for a long time. Tomorrow, thank you, thank you, give me 300 yuan. When money was banned, there were two people in the city. Those who exchanged bad money for good money would be beheaded by the marquis of Wu. Chuo remonstrated, saying, "This man is sitting as a staff, and it is illegal to kill him." He said, "It's none of your business." Chuo said, "Your Majesty is not ignorant of my officials, but in the Legal Department. It's none of my business if you want to kill people rashly! " He said: "those who shake the big wood and don't move should retreat." . He said to me: "I see the heavenly heart, how can I touch wood!" " In the reply, he said, "People who drink soup will be put aside if the soup is hot. The power of the son of heaven, want to beat each other? I won't retreat until I admire and benefit. Go up and enter. It's the only way to serve Liu Shi or restore the suggestion of script deletion. There is a sincere heart in the world. Every time I was introduced to middle school or met the Queen, I would sit down and comment on the gains and losses. Reward thousands before and after. Later, he brought it to Kaifu and gave it to his father as the secretariat of Cai Zhou.

At that time, Zhou Xue in Hedong was Dali Guoqing, and everyone was surnamed Ping Shu. But it is competent to break the prison with affection and abide by the law. Everyone in the class said, "Even jade has nothing to cherish, but your bones are not expensive." Renshou died at the age of sixty-three. I shed tears for it, I mourned the sacrifice and watched the funeral red. There are two sons: and Yuan Gong.
