Which dynasty did Li Shen belong to?
Li Shen was a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
In 772 AD, Li Shen was born in Wucheng County (now Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province). When he was a child, his father died and his mother raised him. When I was young, I witnessed farmers working all day, with no food and clothing. With sympathy and indignation, I wrote two poems entitled "Compassion for Peasants" which have been handed down through the ages. In the first year of Yuanhe (806), he was a Jinshi and served as a teaching assistant in imperial academy. After leaving for Jinling, he entered the shogunate of our ambassador Li Wei. Because of dissatisfaction with Li's rebellion, he was imprisoned. Li Wei was released after being killed and returned to Wuxi Huishan Temple to study. In four years, Yuanhe went to Chang 'an as a school bookkeeper. Together with Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi, he created the new Yuefu poetry style (known as the new Yuefu movement in history) and wrote 20 new Yuefu poems. Yuanhe rose to the right in fourteen years. Yuanhe served as a bachelor of Hanlin in fifteen years and was involved in the dispute of cronies. He is an important figure of the Li Party, and once served as an adviser to the imperial history and assistant minister of the household department. Together with Li Deyu and Yuan Zhen, they are called the three handsome men. In the fourth year of Changqing (824), the Li Party lost power and was demoted as Sima of Duanzhou (now Zhaoqing, Guangdong). During his exile, Li Shen wrote many poems to describe the arduous journey and vent his dissatisfaction. From the year of Bao Liyuan (825) to the fourth year of Taihe (830), Shen Lixian later served as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, Chuzhou and Shouzhou, and the situation improved. In the seventh year of Taihe, Li Deyu was the prime minister and Shen Li was the secretariat of East Zhejiang. In the first year of Kaicheng (836), he served as Henan Yin (the chief executive in charge of Luoyang, the capital of East China), and was appointed as Bianzhou secretariat, Xuanwu Army, our time and observation envoy. In August of three years, I edited and prefaced three volumes of poems about my past travels. The preface of the poem describes the experience from adolescence to entering the frontier. In the fifth year of Huainan, he went to Beijing to pay homage, served as an assistant minister and a Chinese book, and was later promoted to the right assistant minister of Shangshu, making Zhao Guogong. Four years together. In the fourth year of Huichang (844), he resigned due to a stroke. Later, he served as our special envoy in Huainan. Huichang died of illness in Yangzhou for six years at the age of 74. Give it to Qiu, Shi Wensu. His works have been handed down to this day, including 3 volumes of Journey to the West and Miscellaneous Poems 1 volume, which are included in the Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty. There is also a song of Yingying, which is kept in the west wing.
According to the historical book Friends of Yunxi, Kun Li has a bad temper and there are many stains in his life. Li Yuan will often go to Li Shen, but he will call Li Shen his uncle. He is very unhappy. Tang gaozu will take the initiative to lower his seniority, because he wants to curry favor with him, and then he will reluctantly accept it and call him Grandpa Li Shen.
There is also an inspector named Cui, who has a friendship with scholars. Once he came to visit him specially. As soon as he stayed in a hotel, the servant got into a fight with a citizen. He said that he knew that he was the servant of Cui, the secretariat of Xuanzhou, that is, he beheaded his servant and his people, and ordered someone to catch Cui, saying, "I know you forever. Since I'm here, why don't you pick me up? " Inspector Cui hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, but was tied up and beaten twenty times. When inspector Cui was sent to Moling, he was too scared to cry. At that time, people talked a lot: "Li Shen's uncle turned out to be his grandson, and Li Shen's friend became a prisoner exiled by him."
Because Li Shen is a cruel official, the local people are often afraid. Many people even crossed the Yangtze River and Huaihe River to escape. The subordinate reported to him: "The local people have escaped a lot." Li Shen said, "Have you ever seen a man with wheat in his hand? Full particles are always below, and those chaffs go with the wind, so there is no need to report them. "
In his later years, Li Shen became the ambassador of Huainan. At that time, Wu Xiang, the prefect of Jiangdu County in Yangzhou, was reported to have embezzled public funds and married a civilian. Li Shen immediately arrested Wu Xiang after receiving the report and sentenced him to death. However, after the case was reported to the court, the remonstrating officer suspected that there was an injustice, and the court sent Cui Yuanzao, the imperial adviser, to Yangzhou for review. After investigation, Cui Yuanzao found that Wu Xiang's bribery was true, but there was not much money. The forced marriage of a civilian was not true, so he did not die. But Li Shen went his own way and sent Wu Xiang to the guillotine.
