Although Li Xinchuan buried his head in the book and wrote it behind closed doors, he always had his heart in the world and showed great care for people's lives. In the third year of Duanping (1236), Li Xinchuan was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Work. When he learned of the drought in some places, he immediately wrote to the Ministry.
He said in the book:
"I heard that Warfare After that, there must be a year of great misfortune '. It is probably because there are too many killings and taxes are too heavy, which fills the hearts of the people with anger and resentment, and interferes with the reconciliation of yin and yang, even to the extreme. His Majesty should work hard with the ministers to love the people, remove the decrees that are likely to lead to unrest, and announce to the people to remove the old and replace the new, as a countermeasure to eliminate bad luck and welcome good luck. However, the destruction of the legal system has not been revised, and the people are not willing to work hard to revitalize the moral government. They have no ability to change the old things in the past, which in turn will be more serious than the problems in the past. Therefore, the emperor's virtue can not reach the level of no fault, and the imperial court may suffer from a variety of chaotic, fair, honest and upright officials rarely see it. However, those who are greedy and shameless and dare to do bad things use war as an excuse to fight and gather in all directions in order to satisfy their greedy desire. In this way, hoping for five blessings and a bumper harvest is like asking for fish from a tree. "After the investigation of the officials, the reasons for the drought are: first, the increase of purchase of goods, second, the displacement without destination, third, the untruthful tax inspection, and fourth, the confiscation of assets without punishment for criminals, all of which have led to the extreme resentment of the people. All of these happened after the war, but did not try to eliminate it, so the accumulation has become more and more serious. Cheng Tang is a sage monarch, but he prayed in Sanglin and blamed himself for six things. Your majesty is willing to manage the country well. Disasters, strange famines and other phenomena are recorded endlessly. What is the reason? If there is no routine, political affairs will be disordered; When rewards and savings are given without stop, the common people will naturally be poor; The temples in the capital garden are built very frequently, so of course, the civil engineering is very frequent; The female Taoists in the former residence of the emperor were arrogant and domineering. Of course, there were many women who used to spoil their power; The offer of treasure appreciation is seldom rejected, so corruption and bribery will certainly prevail; Most of the honest and sincere words are abhorrent and abandoned, and the person who framed flattery will certainly gain power.

One of these six events may be enough to cause drought. I hope your majesty will promulgate the edict of sin and correct these six things to save the heart of heaven. Those officials who have offered to collect and plagiarize common people's property in order to gain positions must be severely removed, so that they can not slander virtue. In this way, although the drought is serious, it can still be prevented and eliminated. But if the common people complain at home and the enemy forces them out, the situation is critical and the situation is difficult, then anything can happen! At that time, your majesty will have no way out, even though his advisers are like clouds and his generals are like rain. "

Li Xinchuan is the son of Shun Chen. In the first year of Qingyuan, he was recommended to the countryside. Since he was the first, he was determined not to be elected again. He closed his door to write books. In the evening, due to the recommendation of 23 people before and after the cooperation of Cui Yuzhi, Xu Yi, Wei Liaoweng, etc. He collated for the museum of history, granted Jinshi origin, and specialized in "Zhongxing Four Dynasties Emperor Ji". As soon as he became the third, because the speaker stopped, Tian Cha sentenced Chengdu House.
Zuo Lang, the author of Qian Qian, is also the Counsellor of the Sichuan Department of Production and Construction. The imperial edict did not enter the debate, and Xu appointed an official to set up the bureau, and revised the Thirteen Dynasties Meeting. Duanping finished the book in three years.
Called to Que to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Works, he said: "When I heard of the soldiers, there would be a bad year". Due to the number of killings and the heavy burden of containment, the people of Sri Lanka are angry and resentful, and the combination of yin and yang is affected. Your majesty should wipe out the chaos with the ministers and start with the people, so as to eliminate bad luck and welcome good fortune. However, the law has not changed, and the people's labor has not strengthened their morality. They are unable to change their old ways, but there are few. Therefore, the emperor's virtue is not as reckless as his wrongdoing. It is rare to see officials who are honest and fair, but greedy for profits and shameless. They dare to be evil people, take the enemy to build up troops, and rise around in order to show their desire. In this way, we hope that the five blessings will be prepared and the grain will be used. It is the wood and fish. The officials examined the cause of the drought, saying that people complained about the increase in purchase of goods, that people complained about wandering without return, that taxes were not fully collected, and that people complained about wealth without sin. All these things started after the soldiers, but the potential has not been eliminated, so the more accumulated, the more extreme. The Holy Lord of Chengtang, while the prayer of Sanglin still blames himself with six things. Your Majesty is willing to rule. Seven years here, disasters, auspiciousness, famine, and endless history. Why? If we change the order of the day and the order of the day, and there is no convention, then politics will be disorderly; If you perform your duties and stay away, and there is no strike, people will become ill; If the work in the garden and temple, the capital, is very good, then the construction will go on; The female crown in the hidden residence, with its blazing sound and flame, is full of female audience; A rare but unique gift of curiosities means that Bao Ju will do well; If one sticks to the point of saying something, and more people reject it, then a slanderer will become prosperous. One of these six things may have something, which is enough to cause drought. I wish to punish myself urgently and fix six things to return to heaven. Among the officials, those who offer the theory of collecting plagiarism in order to make progress will be dethroned, so that they can not slander the saints and virtues above. If drought is severe, it can still be eliminated. However, people's resentment is at home, the enemy is at home, and things are poor, so why not! Your majesty, though his counsellors are like clouds, and his mighty generals like rain, doesn't know why he should act. The emperor followed him.
Before long, I went back to Chaozhou with words and lived in the temple. In the first year of Chunyou's reign, stop the temple, give it again, and then stop. In three years, he became an official and died in his seventies. It is said that he has historical talent and knows the truth. However, his works as Wu Lie and Xiang An have been handed down from generation to generation, and he is ashamed of the purpose of writing. Its ambition is always to focus on Sichuan and Sichuan, while that of the southeast is thin.
His books include 200 volumes of Annals of the Gaozong Family, 5 volumes of Xueyi Bian, 5 volumes of Chanshi Xun, 13 volumes of Spring and Autumn Texts, 23 volumes of Li Bian, 12 volumes of Historical Texts, 15 volumes of Old News and Mistakes, 40 volumes of Chaoye Zaji, 5 volumes of Daoming Record, 90 volumes of Taiding Record in the West, 1 volume of Bian Nan Bian, and 100 volumes of poetry and prose.
