In the early years of Zhenguan, a case happened in Qingzhou. A man conspired to rebel. After the state and county officials were arrested, they thought it was time to make meritorious deeds. Under severe interrogation, they used their imagination to track the shadow, and soon the rebels in the state and county prisons were overcrowded. This big case quickly alarmed Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, and he ordered Yu Shitui to examine the case.
Cui Shiyu did a clean job. In a few days, he locked up more than a dozen principal offenders, and all the others were acquitted and executed on the spot. After that, he took a pat and went home to Beijing.
This is almost equal to denying all the meritorious efforts of state and county officials. After Cui Gang left, the letter reflecting the situation was sent to the central government one by one. Don't talk about these people, even Li Shimin feels something is wrong. How can only a dozen people be guilty of a major rebellion involving so many people? He immediately sent messengers to interrogate these prisoners, to make sure that the situation was clear, that a good man was not wronged, and that a dangerous bad man was not spared.
Sun, a Dali girl, is Cui's friend. When she heard about it, she went to him and said, "There are so many prisoners arrested in this matter that you are almost rehabilitated. Everyone thinks it's good to be alive. Who wants to die? " Now the emperor has sent someone to check again. I'm afraid that a dozen people you sentenced to death will retract their confessions. I'm very worried about you. "
Cui said: "I heard that the correct way to judge a case should be based on forgiveness. How can you not appeal to them because you know that they are wronged for your own safety? " If I can trade my life for the lives of ten innocent death row inmates, I will. "
Sun shook his head and left helplessly.
After the special envoy sent by Li Shimin arrived in Qingzhou, he re-arraigned more than a dozen people sentenced to death and asked them if their previous sentences were wrong. They all said with one voice: "Cui Gong is very kind and tolerant, and his handling of this matter is fair. We all pleaded guilty. " No one has a different opinion.
The envoy is strange. Fear of death is human nature. Even a straw will be firmly grasped in do or die. How can these people refuse to defend themselves? After careful questioning, he found out what had happened.
Originally, after Cui arrived in Qingzhou, he did not cast a contemptuous look at these criminals who committed the felony of "rebellion." Instead, he ordered that all their handcuffs and fetters be untied so that they could take a good bath and get rid of the bad smell. Later, he gave them a good meal and kindly said to them, "You are all innocent until you find the evidence. There is no need to do this." Don't say that in prison, even walking in the street, no official talks to them like this. Many people have tears in their eyes.
In the face of the envoy, a death row prisoner gave the reason for pleading guilty: "Lord Cui gave us the dignity of being a human being."
Cui became famous for this incident, which made him sit up and take notice.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, there was a village called "Tianma Village". In the forty-six years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the population of the village increased and the water source was insufficient. So the villagers dug a river in front of the village, called "Tianma River". After the river was dug, the village was affected for several years in a row, and many people were ruined.

Short texts of three classic folk stories
According to legend, when He Tang was an official in Qinyang County, an imperial envoy passed by. Although he knew about it, he did not meet it. The imperial envoy was very unhappy and thought, wherever I went, officials of all sizes warmly greeted me, but you dare to be so rude! I am willing to give him some color to see see, but I can't find any excuse at the moment.
It's sunny and drizzling. An imperial envoy was walking along the road with his people when he suddenly saw a young farmer with a hoe and a hat and a pair of new cloth shoes in the mud. He immediately had a plan: he immediately ordered the young man to be taken down and handed over to the official's son He Tang for conviction.
The young farmer was arrested for no reason and was very angry. He repeatedly shouted "grievances, grievances!" "
He Tang was surprised to receive this case. What happened to this honest young man who came home in the rain? Isn't this an imperial adult deliberately making things difficult for me? On second thought, since an imperial envoy sent me for trial, I must be convicted. If there is no trial, he will seize something from it, humiliate me and lift his cold shoulder.
He Tang carefully observed while interrogating. When he saw the young man carrying a pair of cloth shoes, his heart suddenly lit up. He immediately asked, "Who made these shoes for you?" The young man said, "It's my wife." He Tang asked again, "Who gave birth to your body?" The young man replied, "It's my parents." At this time, He Tang patted the gavel and pretended to shout, "It's not a heinous crime to cherish his wife's handiwork and his parents' bones. "? What are you talking about? "Take the" offender "to an imperial adult at any time. And sentenced the young man to kowtow three times in front of his mother to show that he was law-abiding and washed himself.
It is not surprising that an imperial adult saw the file reviewed by He Tang. He knew that He Tang was difficult to provoke, so he had to let the young farmer go.
The fourth classic folk story short version
One day, when the sun was setting, the shepherd boy drove the sheep home. Walking, I suddenly saw a bowl-sized pink peony flower on the roadside. It's gentle and beautiful. After a while, the flowers were big and beautiful. The shepherd boy picked them up, put them in his broken felt hat and took them home.
At the edge of the cave, the shepherd boy quickly dug a small pit at the mouth of the cave, planted peony flowers and poured some water. With the company of peony, he felt that he was no longer so lonely. That night, the shepherd boy slept soundly and sweetly
The next morning, the shepherd boy ran to see the peony first. These flowers are bigger and more beautiful than yesterday. He poured two bowls of clear water on the peony and drove the sheep to eat grass. In the evening, the shepherd boy returned to the cave, which was clean. The kang was covered with a new blanket and quilt, with a new mattress and flower pillow at one end and two large mahogany boxes with shiny copper buttons and rings at the other. There is a small kang table in the middle of the kang. There are two dishes, three bowls of noodles and a pair of chopsticks on the kang table. The noodles are still steaming. It's so easy to pack and eat, he thought to himself. Maybe someone took pity on me and prepared it for me.
So he had a delicious meal. At night, I slept comfortably on the kang for the first time in my life.
The next morning, he poured two bowls of water on the peony flowers and went to pasture the sheep. Go home at noon, and I don't know who cooked for him. In the evening, he made up his mind to find out tomorrow.
Tianma Maliang drove the sheep away together. But I didn't go far, so I left the sheep and came back alone, squatting behind a big stone at the mouth of the cave and secretly watching the hole. Suddenly, the peony at the door moved and became a girl. The girl swept the floor and cooked, and in a short time, everything was ready. The shepherd boy came forward and shouted, "Sister! You cooked for me these two days! " The girl told the shepherd the truth: "I am not a person or a flower, I am a fairy in the moon palace." The girl said slowly, "I see you are living a hard life in the sky, and I want to come down and help you." I don't think I should be a fairy, but I will become a peony to help you. "
From then on, the young couple lived a good life.
Short texts of five classic folk stories
According to legend, a long time ago, tengxian was a very beautiful and rich place, peaceful and prosperous.
Suddenly one day, it was dark, thunder and lightning, and the rain kept falling. What's going on here? It turned out that the Jade Emperor banished a white dragon that destroyed heaven to earth. But it is stubborn and still unruly, endangering the people.
People don't know why God is angry. They all burn incense and kowtow at home, begging God not to rain again. Just as people were begging for help, the dragon appeared in the rain, only to see it bared its teeth and said to people: If people don't send pigs, cows and sheep where it said, it will make trouble and flood crops. People are afraid and have to agree. When the dragon saw that he agreed, he accepted the spell and waited for a good meal.
After the dragon left, people had to send livestock year after year. In a few years, all the livestock were eaten up by the dragon, and the dragon still wants it every day, and the appetite is getting bigger and bigger. People sigh and frown, but there is nothing they can do.
One day, an old man with a white beard and a beggar came here. After listening to people's stories, he said to people, "This is an evil dragon. We can no longer call it evil. We should get rid of it. " When he said this, people were very happy, but immediately hesitated: can such an old man get rid of the dragon? You can't hurt him. The old man didn't wait for people to say it, as if he had read their minds. He insisted, "I can get rid of it, as long as you send more livestock and good wine tonight." Don't worry about me. "
When it gets dark, that is, when food is given to dragons, people do as the old man says. The dragon was hungry. Seeing so many things, he opened his mouth and ate and drank. It was really gone, and soon he was full and fell asleep. At this time, the old man came out of the crowd, reached out and took out a finger-shaped tower from his pocket and covered the dragon. Strange to say, the tower becomes very big when it sees the wind, and the dragon is still dreaming.
People were shocked to see this scene. When they remembered to thank the old man, he had already left. They shouted everywhere, only to hear someone talking overhead. When they looked up, it was an old man, and people shouted and knelt down to kowtow. I heard the old man say in mid-air, "I was sent by the Jade Emperor to get rid of dragons. The dragon was pinned down by the tower and will never do evil again. You can plant crops with confidence and live a good life in the future. " Then he disappeared.
This is the origin of Longquan Tower.
