Reflections on Lu Huaishen, Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty

Lu Huaishen, prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was honest and clean. He didn't rob money, and his house and furnishings were simple. After he became an official, his position was noble. His wife and children were always hungry and cold, but he was very generous to his relatives and friends.

He is responsible for selecting officials in Du Dong (Luoyang), but the luggage he carries with him is only a cloth bag. He was ill for a long time during his tenure as a supervisor and official of Huangmen. Song Jing and Lu Cong are willing to visit him often. Lu Huaishen was lying on a thin broken bamboo mat, and there was not even a curtain on the door. When it is windy and rainy, he has to cover it with a mat. Lu Huaishen has always attached great importance to Song Jing and Lu Congyuan. He was very happy to see them coming. He kept it for a long time and asked his family to prepare meals. Only two pots of steamed beans and a few vegetables were served, and nothing else. Lu Huaishen took Song Jing and Lu Congyuan by the hand and said, "You two will be officials and govern the country. The emperor's strategy of governing the country by seeking talents is urgent. However, if the rule is long, the ministers around the emperor will slack off. At this time, a villain will take the opportunity to approach and please the emperor. You two must remember. " A few days later, Lu Huaishen died. On his deathbed, he wrote a report recommending Song Jing, Lu Congyuan, Li Jie and Li to the emperor. The emperor read the report and felt more sympathy for him.

When Lu Huaishen was buried, because he didn't have any savings at ordinary times, he had to ask an old servant to cook a pot of porridge for those who helped with the funeral. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went hunting in the south of the city and came to a shabby house. There is a simple family courtyard. There seemed to be some ceremony to be held, so he sent someone on horseback to ask. The man came back and reported: "There was a ceremony on the second anniversary of Lu Huaishen's death, and he was a vegetarian." Xuanzong rewarded fine silk and stopped hunting.

In addition, it is said that when Lu Huaishen died, his wife Cui Shi wouldn't let her daughter cry and said to him, "Your father is not dead, I know. Your father is honest and clean, does not strive for fame and fortune, gives in humbly, and refuses to accept anything given by the whole world. He and Zhang are both prime ministers. Now it is said that the money he collected is piling up and people are still alive. How can the reward of extravagance and diligence be false? " In the evening, Lu Huaishen came back to life, and people around him told him what his wife said. Lu Huaishen said, "The reason is different. There are thirty stoves in the underworld, and people with ill-gotten wealth barbecue day and night, and none of them are prepared for me. My sins in the underworld have been forgiven. " Then he died again.

Note: Lu Huaishen (? —7 16), born in Lingchang, Huazhou (now southwest of hua county, Henan Province), Wu Zetian was then the censor, later a counselor and an ancient scholar. Xuanzong became prime minister in the first year of Kaiyuan (7 13). Lu Huai knew that his talent was not as good as that of another prime minister, Yao Chong, so he avoided everything. During his tenure, his achievements were only in recommending and promoting talents. Three years later, he became prime minister and died. Lu Huaishen is an honest official. He has no savings at home, no curtains at the door, no meat in his diet, and his wife and children are hungry and poor. He was a relatively clean prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. When Lu Huai-shen's son, Lu Huan, was a satrap in Guangzhou, he was unmoved by the local treasures, honest and clean, and was also praised by people at that time. Xuanzong praised his beautiful politics and wrote a eulogy for him: "The emphasis is on the special city, and it is divided into Shaanxi heroes. It is also beneficial to things, is a national treasure, and does not fall into the family style. "
