2. In the 12th year of Yuanhe, when Pei Du led the army to Pinghuai West, Han Yu, like Li _, served in the army. Han Yu witnessed the battle of Pinghuai River. After the war, Tang Xianzong named Han Yu to write a tablet. Mr. Han got the instructions, that is, he retired and sat in the pavilion, writing profusely. I chose the characters in the classics of Yao and Xun, and the styles in the ancient poems of Li Shangyin and Ping Huai. The inscription is 8,000 words, like flowing water, like a river flowing out of a gorge, and Wang Yang is free and easy. The beauty of the article, the so-called "smoke flies out, paper falls back to the phoenix." "When the monument was erected, the Chinese people regarded it as a strange article and rushed to recite it. However, to the surprise of Mr. Han and those who love Mr. Han's poems, the Pinghuai West Monument standing outside the north gate of Ru 'nan is "the monument is 30 feet high, the word is as big as a gourd ladle, and the turtle is flat and stinging". Shortly after its establishment, Li _ (Li Shangyin's "Pinghuai West Monument") made the stone "pull the monument with a hundred feet of rope, and grind its surface with coarse sand and small stones". That's not counting. After the stone tablet was removed, the stone that was still unconvinced personally hit it with a hammer. This is also a fact. In order to commemorate this sacred will, the Pinghuai West Monument was erected here. Dragging down and smashing this monument is undoubtedly a violation of dogma and unforgivable. What's more, when officials came to arrest him, instead of giving in easily, he began to kill another official.
According to common sense, as a junior officer with a lower rank, Shi should not and dare not be so bold. Even his immediate boss Li _, at best, is only a local official, equivalent to the current military commander. Under normal circumstances, even if he succeeds, he dare not compete with the prime minister of the current dynasty. Besides, after Cai Ping, he was named Liang Gong and has been pampered. It happened that this Li was not an idle person, especially his wife, a more unusual civilian woman, but the niece of the current emperor. Seeing that her husband was "wronged", she was so angry that she made trouble all the way. Finally, her uncle had no choice, so she had to let Duan Wenchang, an academician, rewrite Pinghuai Xibei in Cai Zhou. This is the only way to avoid trouble and solve difficult lawsuits.
