Zi Yuan's inscription.

Yuan solved the golden case. Unofficial history's anecdote about Qingxi Mountain in Fuzhou is beautiful. Yuan Xianggong failed to achieve his goal and resumed his residence. Climb this mountain because it is sunny. A few miles, quiet and small, gradually strange and dangerous, blocked without a trace. There are Confucian scholars who sell medicine as their profession, at the foot of the mountain. And Yu, very different, because staying behind. Yuan Gong said, "There are spiritual hermits here." Confucian scholars said, "Five or six people who know the way come once every three or two days. I don't know where I live. Although I am familiar with it, I refuse to elaborate. " Yuan Gong said, "Did you get it repaired?" He said, "He is bad, but he is good at drinking. One step away, but a bottle of wine, you can meet each other. " Yuan Gong resigned. After that, I went with wine. After several nights, five people came. Or a deer scarf, a gauze hat, a stick and a pair of sandals, warm and warm from a distance, laughing and laughing, is the stream at the foot, teasing the Confucian scholars. The Confucian scholars toasted the audience, and all five of them were very happy. Said, "Where did you get this? And three or five. " "I can't help it," said the Confucian scholar. "We have a visitor. I hope I can pay tribute to my husband. However, Yuan Gong was led out to pay homage. The five men looked at each other shamefully and regretted drinking his wine. They angrily said to the Confucian scholars, "It is not suitable for outsiders to interfere." Confucian scholars said, "This man is sincere in repaying something, and he is a Taoist. Be calm, why bother to hurt yourself? " It means to solve it gradually. Seeing Yuan Zhong's humility and timely laughter, Sheng Yuan said, "Please sit down." Yuan Gong will be seated again. After a while, he was drunk, looked at Yuan Gong and said, "This man is like a Buddhist monk who meditates in Xihua." For a long time, the cloud said, "Straight." Flexion index, this monk died for 47 years. Ask 47-year-old Yuan Gongzhi. He clapped his hands and said, "You must seek an official position. Fulu has arrived. " So he shook hands with Yuan Gong to say goodbye. I used to go through holes, climb mountains, jump and flip like a bird, but I couldn't see it. Yuan Gongguo paid homage to the Prime Minister and served as our abandonment envoy. (From "Yi Shi")

There is a Qingxi Mountain in Fuzhou with beautiful scenery. When Prime Minister Yuan Zi was not a developed official, he lived in Fuzhou and Yunzhou. I climbed Qingxi Mountain because of the sunny weather. After a few miles, the road became narrower and more dangerous, and gradually I couldn't find the path. There is a scholar who sells medicine for a living, and his family lives at the foot of the mountain. Yuan Zi chatted with him very speculatively and stayed at the scholar's house in the evening. Yuan Zi said, "There should be hermits and immortals here." The scholar said, "Five or six Taoist priests come every three or two days. I have no idea where they live. Although I know them very well, they refused to introduce them in detail. " Yuan Zi said, "Can I meet them?" The scholar said, "They hate laity, but they like drinking. If you prepare an altar of wine, you can meet them. " Yuan Zi said goodbye and went home. Then I brought wine and went again. After waiting for a few days, five Taoist priests came as expected. They greeted each other from a distance, asked about the temperature, talked and laughed loudly, washed their feet in a mountain stream and joked with scholars. The scholar arranged a banquet and poured wine for them. All five people were very happy and asked him, "Where did you get this?" So everyone drank three or five cups. The scholar said, "This is not what I can offer. It was brought by a guest. He wants to see Mr. "So I called Yuan Zi out and met five people one by one. Five Taoist priests looked at each other, regretted drinking Yuan Zi's wine, and said angrily to the scholar, "We shouldn't let outsiders disturb us!" " "This man is sincere and believes in Taoism." What's the harm in being generous and enthusiastic? "The dissatisfaction of the five monks gradually eased. Seeing that Yuan Zi was very humble and respectful to them, they said a few words to him from time to time, then looked at Yuan Zi and said, "Sit down!" " Yuan Zi thanked him and sat down. After a while, while the wine was being drunk, a Taoist priest looked at Yuanzi and said, "This man looks like a Buddhist monk in Xihua." After a long time, he said, "Really." Zhiyi calculated, "That monk has been dead for forty-seven years." Then he asked Yuan Zi's age. He replied that he was 47 years old. The Taoist clapped his hands and smiled and said, "You want fame and fortune. Luck has come. " Then, they shook hands with Yuan Zi to say goodbye. One by one, they went through the cave, climbed the hill, jumped with vines, walked like birds and soon disappeared. Later, Yuan Zi really became the prime minister and became our emissary to give up. When Li Mian was guarding Fengxiang, there was an ordinary farmer registered in his jurisdiction. When weeding in the field, he dug up a big pot of horseshoe-shaped gold. The people in the village sent the gold to the county government, and the county government reported it to the state government with official documents, ready to send the gold to the state government. Once again, I'm glad to have dug up the treasure, and I'm ready to ask my superiors for grades. He was afraid that gold was not safe in the public treasury, so he put it in his own house. After a night, he and other officials reopened to watch, and all the gold turned into clods. When an altar of gold was unearthed, the village officials all went to watch the inspection, and now it is not surprising that it has suddenly changed. They complained to the competent officials, and people talked that someone had exchanged gold with tricks. So the superior sent Cao Mao to bring some soldiers to interrogate and deal with the case. Li Zheng, who dug up the gold, testified about it. At first, I was condemned by everyone, lost my personal freedom in frustration, and was repeatedly questioned and insulted. He had to admit that he had stolen the gold and signed the confession. Some said he was thrown into the water and said he was wronged. After the trial, put these people in prison and report the trial results. Li Mian was very angry after reading the report. After a while, he went to eat and talked over coffee. All the guests sitting here think this is a joke. Some people say that the massacre is to imitate the greed of Qi people. Some people said that he might have Yang Zhen's hobby, and they played a long joke. They all think that this is just a general case of climbing over the wall and picking locks, nothing unusual. Prime Minister Yuan Zi was also there. He lowered his head and said nothing. Li Mian looked at him with his eyes and said to him, Are you related to the righteous judge? Yuan Zi said: I have nothing to do with him. Li Mian said, "Why are you unhappy about his crime? "? Yuan Zi said: I very much doubt that this matter will end here. Please make a detailed investigation. Li Mian said: The fact of stealing gold is very clear. If we can't stop talking about it, there are still different opinions. It's not that we can't find out. Yuan Zi said: Yes, move this case to Yuan Zi's house for trial. Yuan Zi inspected the jar collection room and got more than 250 gold clods. Yuan Zi asked the person who dug up the gold first and decided that the shape and quantity of these clods were the same as the original gold. So Yuanzi borrowed gold from various shops in the market and melted it into clods. After the casting is completed, only half of the gold is weighed, which is already 300 Jin. Yuan Zi asked who sent the gold to the county government, and the answer was that two farmers carried it to the county government with bamboo poles. Calculate, just most of the gold, nor can two people carry it with a pole. Yuan Zi understood that all the gold had turned into clods before it hit the road. Now everyone's doubts have been lifted, and another unjust case has been clarified. Li Mian expressed admiration and admiration for this, saying many times that his intelligence was not as good as Yuanzi's. Since this incident, Yuan Zi has occupied an important position and handled many cases correctly. When Dezong ascended the throne, he became prime minister. It is often said that gold, silver and jewels are buried in the soil and may become something else after being accidentally discovered. There is an abandoned Taoist temple in Dunhua Hutong, the east capital. The main buildings have collapsed and been destroyed. During the period of Xian Tong, Xiang Guohua ordered to rebuild the Linde view in other places. When digging the foundation, I dug up a huge jar, which was full of silver. There are thirty or forty people transporting building materials and craftsmen. When they found the silver, it was already daytime. They were afraid of being confiscated by officials, so they covered it with wood so as to wait until dark. That night, these people wrapped their clothes in silver and went home. When I opened it after dawn, it turned into a silvery white thing cut from a solid clod. The same is true of legendary stories.
