In the 15th year of Jiading in Song Dynasty (1222), Jiang Wanli was admitted to the university, and the Prince Zhao Yun (Song Lizong) was very appreciative. He once wrote the word "Jiang Wanli" between several inkstones. In the second year of Baoqing (1226), he was chosen to be the first scholar, and the essay "Guo Ziyi riding alone to see the tiger" showed his admiration for Guo Ziyi's courage and patriotic sentiment. The examiner was moved by it and readily approved: "The idea is new and the wording is wonderful, and the ancient prose is also high." In the sixth year of Baoqing, he was born as a professor in Chizhou. Later, he called for a museum test, and worked as Zuo Lang, who was still the official of Zuo Lang and the Privy Council examined the text in detail. In the fourth year of Jiaxi (1240), he went out to know the Jizhou Army, and his poem "Encouraging Agriculture" said: "My father came to speak to me, and the officials and the people were close to the ancient heritage. If you want to know that Taishou is happy, you will enjoy the laughter of the family. " In addition to politics, I am particularly enthusiastic about education. In the first year of Chun Hu (124 1 year), he ruled the heart of Ganjiang River in the east of Luling County, Jizhou Prefecture, and established Egret State Academy, which widely collected books and accepted disciples. After hearing about the imperial court, Li Zongyu gave a plaque "Egret State Academy". At that time, there was no other Ren Shan in the academy. He was independent, teaching for the students and forgetting that he was a big house. Later generations erected a monument for him, commending his school-running merit: Jiang Wanli founded Egret Academy, which made "the gentry (that is, the official generation called it) be virtuous, the officials and the people pity it, and the fierce (the brave) be transformed". In the second year, I moved to the Secret Pavilion to learn about Longxing House, and built a quiet house in Longxing House to gather students and give lectures. After hearing about the imperial court, Li Zong also personally gave books and plaques. During this period, he also told Lin Shougong, a member of Nan 'an Zhijun, to expand his ancestral temple of Mr. Yuansan (worshiping Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao) in Dayu County into Zhoucheng Academy. Because of his outstanding achievements in running a school, Yu Chunhu moved to the official position of Kao Gong Lang for three years, and was also in charge of the concept of celebrating the jubilee in the Health House. Soon, he was transferred to Shaoxing Prefecture to celebrate the jubilee, and later he was called by the driving department, moving to the right and serving as a lecturer. In March of the fifth year (1245), I talked with Li Zong about the gains and losses of all things, and once said, "A gentleman only knows what is wrong, but he doesn't know what is good." He is honest and frank, upright and upright. In November, he wrote to impeach Lin Guangqian and other people who are in power. In December, regardless of the opposition of the main faction, Li Zong was persuaded to use Zhao Kui to preside over the military affairs, and Chen Weidan presided over the finance, so that the hawk faction was once in charge of the state affairs, which was repeatedly attacked by the main faction. In six years, he was promoted to supervise the suggestion and serve as a lecturer. Soon, he was promoted to serve as an adviser in the temple. At this time, Jiang Wanli, "the instrument looks clear and handsome, discusses the style, and tilts at the time." However, those who were jealous and slandered rose, saying that their mother's illness failed to get home in time to die, which caused her to suffer a cool punishment and sit for 12 years.
In the third year of Bao You's reign (1255), Lu Dexing was appointed as the transshipment ambassador of Fujian because he defended Jiang Wanli. In the first month of Kai Qing Yuan Year (1259), he joined Ambassador Jia Sidao of Jinghu Xuanfu as a staff officer. In October, Jia Sidao entered the phase, and Wan Li entered the DPRK at the same time, offering sacrifices to imperial academy and attending reading. In the first year of Jingding (1260). Assistant minister of the removal department. Soon, I was promoted to the official department. The following year (126 1 year). He moved to the Ming Palace, where he was a bachelor, signed a book with the Privy Council and was also a guest of the Prince. This year, Wan Li was over 60 years old, and he was the longest-serving person in Jia Sidao House. At first, he was admired by Jia Sidao, but he was honest and frank by nature, so he couldn't stay silent. Jia Sidao hates (hates) his light hair (thoughtlessness, indiscreet speech) and often annoys Jia Sidao, so he can't stay in his place for a long time every time. This year. He was dismissed because of his remarks, and only the bachelor of Duanming Hall mentioned Dong Xiao Palace in Lin 'an House. It was four years after Jingding that he became Fuzhou Zhizhou and Fujian Anfu Ambassador in his original post.
In November of the fourth year of Jingding, Du Zong acceded to the throne, petitioned people who were outspoken and good at remonstrating, and called Jiang Wanli back to Lin 'an. In February of the first year of Xianchun (1265), Wan Li was appointed as a member of the Privy Council, participated in political affairs, and lived with Jia Sidao. After Jia Sidao was good at politics, he was a very important minister, and tried his best to promote traitorous Zhang, which made the territory increasingly thin and the national situation increasingly dangerous. Wan Li could not bear it, so that in July of the same year, he invited him to return to the field, but he did not allow it. In December, Jia Sidao resigned and coerced Du Zong, and Du Zong sobbed and wanted to stay. Wan Li immediately bowed to the emperor and said, "Since ancient times, there has been no such ceremony, and your majesty cannot worship." Angered Jia again. When the Emperor was giving a banquet, Jia couldn't answer every question about the classics and the names of the ancients. Wan Li often answered from the side, which made Jia angry and tried to expel him from Wan Li. Jiang Wanli and Jia Sidao often disagreed with each other, so they had to ask for a refund four times. In the third year of Xianchun, they learned that the Pacific State was also an official of Jiangdong Special Transport, and then they were transferred to Hunan as a pacifier. In the fifth year of Xianchun, they were called from Hunan to learn about politics, sealed Nankang County Duke, and just arrived, and they also worshipped Zuo Prime Minister and Tang emissary. In six years, the Mongols besieged Xiangyang, and Wan Li repeatedly invited reinforcements to rescue him, but Jia Sidao refused. So Wan Li was entrusted with the job of visiting the Temple of Literature as a scholar to appease the officials in Fuzhou and Fujian, and Wan Li insisted on it, and still promoted the Dongxiao Palace.
In the ninth year of Emperor Xianxi, Jiang Wanli was appointed as the appeaser of Jinghu South Road at the age of seventy-six. At this time, he re-transmitted his disciple Wen Tianxiang as a prisoner in Hunan. In the summer of the same year, Tianxiang went to Tanzhou to meet with Wan Li. The two men had deep feelings. Tianxiang admired Jiang Wanli's knowledge and morality, and his demeanor was generous. He was often compared to Fan Zhongyan and Sima Guang. Wan Li is also known as Tianxiang Integrity. When it comes to state affairs, Wan Li said generously, "I am old, and the situation will change. I have read many people, and the responsibility of the world is up to you! " Tianxiang was deeply moved and left with tears. In the first month of the tenth year of Xianchun, Jiang Wanli resigned from Hunan because of his old age and illness, and still promoted Dong Xiao Palace as a university student. That year, the Yuan army invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale, while the powerful minister Jia Sidao ignored the state affairs. Jiang Wanli's view of the general trend had gone, and he was unable to make up for it. He retired to Zhishan, Raozhou, and chiseled the back garden of Chishi Mountain, calling it "stopping water" and borrowing things to show his ambition, indicating that he would commit himself to the country. In February of the first year of Deyouyou (1275), Raozhou was attacked by the Yuan Army, and Jiang Wanli calmly sat and thought that the people were popular, and the Yuan Army was coming to its end. Chen Shuqi, the gatekeeper of Wan Li, said with tears: "The general trend is overwhelming. Although the second is not in office, it is vital to the country." When he finished speaking, Kai Zijiang pickaxe and his left and right sides were calmly drowned, and at that time, the bodies were piled up. Later, Zhang Shijie (the general who fought against Yuan Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty) recovered Raozhou, learned about it, reported it to the court, and was shocked by the news in the ruling and opposition parties. "The doctors of the Yu Dynasty, who knew and didn't know, were all sad and wept when they heard it.". There is a eulogy in Wen Tianxiang: "The stars fold the platform to balance the land, Sven goes to rest, the lake is far away from the sky, and the river flows." Emperor Gong also dropped out of the mourning period, and presented a letter to a teacher, Yi Guogong, and later to a teacher, Shi Wenzhong.
