Translation of the Old Tang Dynasty Book The Biography of Liu Yuxi , the original text and translat

The original text and translation are as follows:

Li started with his father's shadow and was awarded the title of Captain Shaoqing. There is strategy, good at riding and shooting. In the eleventh year of Yuanhe, he used troops to fight against Wu Yuanji of Caizhou.

In July, Tang Deng Jiedu defeated Gao Xiayu and ordered Yuan Zi to be the commander, but Zi was also in vain. Resist self-presentation, and be willing to serve yourself in front of the army. Prime Minister Li Fengji was also available, so he served as an envoy to Tang Deng.

After the soldiers were defeated, their momentum was sad and depressed, and they knew their feelings, but they did not suppress the troops. Or to say that he is not solemn, he said: "The thief An Yuan Shangshu is lenient, and I don't want to change it."

Nai Xuan told the three armies: "The Son of Heaven knows softness and forbears shame, so he orders to raise his descendants." Fighters, it's not my business.

The military believed in it. Those who are wounded and wounded by soldiers shall be cared for by themselves. The thief defeated Gao and Yuan Ershuai, and he was not afraid of the name of the person, so he was not very prepared.

Li was awarded an official position by virtue of his father's merits and was awarded the rank of lieutenant and lieutenant of the guard. Lee is good at strategy and good at riding and shooting. In the eleventh year of Yuanhe, the imperial court sent troops to attack Wu Yuanji in Caizhou.

In July, Tang and Deng Jiedu defeated Gao Xiayu, and the imperial court ordered Yuan Zi to be the commander, but Yuan Zi's battle was also fruitless. Li recommended himself to the emperor, hoping to serve in the army. Prime Minister Li Fengji also believed that Li had talent and could be appointed, so he appointed him as envoys to Sui, Tang, and Deng.

After suffering a setback, the morale of the soldiers of the Tang Army was low, and Li expected to think of such a situation and did not go to reorganize the army. Some people think that he should not put the army in order, saying: "The traitors are content with the leniency of Yuan Shangshu's command of the battle, and I don't want them to be more guarded."

So he deceived the three armies and said, "The emperor knows that I am weak and can bear the shame of defeat, so let me comfort you." Fighting, it's not my business.

The soldiers believed it and were glad to do it. For the wounded soldiers, Lee personally comforted them. The traitors thought that they had defeated the general Yuan Zi, and because Li's fame was not something they feared, they did not strengthen their defenses.

People praise his talents and despise his deeds. Liu Yuxi was very angry with Wu Yuanheng and Li Fengji, and Pei Du gradually knew. During the Taihe period, it is estimated that in Zhongshu Province, it is necessary to know the system.

When the ruling government heard about the "Preface to the Poem" again, he disliked it more and more. He has been repeatedly promoted to the Ministry of Rites Langzhong and Jixian Academy. After the resignation of the governor, Liu Yuxi asked for a division of the Eastern Capital.

In the end, it is biased and cannot be pilgrimaged for a long time. In June, he was appointed as the assassin of Suzhou, and he was given a golden seal purple ribbon. At the end of his term of office, he entered the dynasty as the assassin of Ruzhou, and was reappointed as a guest of the prince, and was divided into the eastern capital.

Liu Yuxi was friends with the young master Bai Juyi in his later years, and wrote poems and articles, but he was not in them at that time. often sang and corresponded with Liu Yuxi, so he summoned his poems and said in an orderly manner: "Pengcheng Liu Yuxi, the reason for the poet."

His sharpness is so sharp that few people dare to resist. I don't measure my own strength, often committed. Those who fight with the voices that respond are evenly matched.

One time at a time, I thought it would be impossible to stop learning. Therefore, every time I write an article, I first look at the grass, and after reading it, I start to build the text. In the past year or two, the sun has not been writing inkstones, and the same and giving gifts, but I don't feel more and more.

In the spring of the third year of Taihe, there were a total of 138 pieces of paper and ink. The rest of the people who are drunk and have the same slogan are no longer here. So he ordered his little nephew Gui'er to write two shafts.

Still wrote two books, one for the turtle, one for the little boy Lun Lang, each ordered to collect, attached to two anthologies. I sang a lot with Yuan Wei not so long ago, or in the population. He once jokingly said slightly:

I've been with you for twenty years as a friend of the article poem enemy, lucky! Not yet. Chanting temperament, preaching fame, he just left the body, they are happy to forget the old, lucky!

However, the words of Jiangnan scholars and female talents, say more Yuan and Bai, because of you, I can't walk alone in Wu and Yue, which is also unfortunate! Now that you will be old and encounter dreams again, isn't it heavy and unlucky? 'Dream of dreaming, the wonder of the article, there is no better than the Book of Songs

If I could be with God, then, how dare I? If you dream that 'the mountains in the snow are white in the morning, and the fairy fruits in the sea are slow', and there are thousands of sails sailing next to the shipwreck, and ten thousand trees are spring in front of the sick tree, it is really wonderful! No matter where it is, there should be animal protection from the gods, is there only two families of children secret!

That girdle is the celebrity agrees with so. I dreamed that I got poems such as "Xisai Huaigu" and "Five Questions of the Golden God Shed Tomb", which were called masterpieces by Jiangnan literati.

At the beginning of Kaicheng, he was appointed as the branch of Prince Bin You Pizeke, and soon he was appointed as the assassin of Tongzhou. At the expiration of the term of office, the school will inspect the school and the department of etiquette and the prince's guests. Huichang died in July of the second year, at the age of seventy-one, and was given a book to the Ministry of Households.

Zi Chengyong, who ascended to the rank of Jinshidi, is also talented.
