History vs. fiction

A famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, served in multiple reigns.

  • The official history 'History of Song' in the biography of Zhang Shuye records: 'The留守 Wen Yanbo considered him talented, and the departmental envoy summoned him to another prefecture. Yanbo said: "How can a man like Assistant Zheng be sent out repeatedly?" He memorialized to change his post to judicial officer, and later promoted him to the magistrate of Guanshi County.' The novel 'Water Margin' in Chapter 1 records: 'Then from the ranks of officials, Prime Minister Zhao Zhe and Participating Administrator Wen Yanbo stepped forward and memorialized: "At present, a plague is rampant in the capital, causing many casualties among soldiers and civilians."' The memorial about the plague is fictional.
