But the result this time is even more unexpected. Last time it was "Picture of Hundred Officials", and this time it was four principles. Lu Yijian's answer was four more words: "Those who speak out, recommend and introduce friends, and alienate the monarch and ministers." I will erase all the words you said, and refuse to answer! Because you said this, you are wrong in "Those who speak out." You are now the prefect of Kaifeng, not the right censor of the Censorate. The court has rules and is struck by lightning!

Fan Zhongyan saw clearly that this was a political hooligan. He completely avoided answering the evidence of the real materials he proposed. After using 12-word official accent, he wanted to cover up all these sins? I thought it beautifully! No way! He picked up his pen again and continued to write to the defense based on Lu Yijian's twelve words this time. I am right, the truth and even the truth are on my side. Even if someone doesn't understand, I will educate them to understand!

This is Fan Zhongyan’s behavior and his thoughts. But you are not in the classroom now, but in the officialdom! Is this the place where who is right and who wins?

However, it should be noted that Fan Zhongyan was not fighting alone at this time, he had his own power. That was the source of his power - morality and human hearts. The reason why Mr. Fan Wenzheng was famous was that he led the trend of the Song Dynasty - a gentleman.

But the question is, are the standards of "gentlemen" really absolutely correct? What is right and what is wrong? Is there really an eternal standard in this world? Can you really guarantee that you are always 100% correct? If not, why should you ask others or even order others to obey?

I did what was right, so as long as you were different from me, you were wrong. You were villains. Is that good or bad for this world?

However, it should be emphasized that if the party-fighting thinking state of "gentleman" and "villain" can continue without distortion, there may not be the so-called Southern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty will always exist. The reason why it perished was that even such a principle could not be adhered to. The later party-fighting had nothing to do with right or wrong, but only with intention, but with grudges! Speaking of this, the author couldn't help but sigh in advance: Sima Guang, you old stubborn, old bastard!

Back at that time, let’s see who Fan Zhongyan’s powers include: Li Hong, Wang Zhi, Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu… are all young people who are idle in literature. The common characteristics are that they are good at learning and have high talent. They come from all over the world. The reason why they get together is that in addition to the national imperial examination system, the more important thing is poetry and articles. They gather together, and they practice elegant writing every day, worry about the affairs of the world, and their lives are both relaxed and sacred. Until their leader Fan Zhongyan got into trouble with the evil forces. They couldn’t sit still anymore, and then there was the 12-word "recommendation of friends" by Prime Minister Lu Da.

Fraternity, do you know that these two words are just these words? In the distance, it destroyed the country and country of the Song Dynasty. In the near future, it was said that you destroyed Fan Zhongyan directly.

Therefore, on May 9, the third year of Jingyou (1036), Fan Zhongyan was deprived of all official positions in the capital, removed his Tianzhang Pavilion from his residence, and was appointed as a local official in Kaifeng Prefecture.

These famous young people took the initiative to stand up on the charge of "recommendation of frites": We are Fan Zhongyan's frites, he is a wise gentleman, and it is a blessing to be friends with him!

It looks very rude and even deceptive, but it is done openly and upright. Because we are the "right path to the world" to make the evil in the court, yes! It is Prime Minister Lu Yijian! Let him see: No one can cover the sky with one hand and suppress all the voices of justice!

Ouyang Xiu is the most unique and dazzling star among the people. The reason is that his moves are really incredible and mysterious. Just as everyone was working hard to repair Lu Yijian, he suddenly turned around and pointed his gun at an irrelevant person - Gao Ruonai, the right censor of Zhijianyuan. Ouyang Xiu wrote a private letter and scolded him for being a censor, who was the position of Fan Zhongyan before. He actually saw Lu Yijian, a traitor, domineering in the court, but silently. Are you still a scholar? Every day, he goes in and out of the court with a calm face and joins the literati and officials. How to write the word "shameless"!

Gao Ruonai was stunned and then became furious. In the just-concluded incident of Yan Wenying, he was the one who led the impeachment. How brave he was. It hasn't been half a year and was full of memories. Suddenly he became a coward and shameless person? Ouyang Xiu, who are you, how old you are, dare to scold me like this? But no matter how angry he was, Gao Ruonai did not write a letter to scold me, but handed over the original letter of Ouyang's talented man and asked the emperor to take a look: Take a look, is there anyone who is so an official?

Ouyang Xiu was just an episode, and the top priority was still on Fan Zhongyan. He was stubborn. He was not afraid of death, but was afraid of being confused. He must make it clear how this matter failed! After thinking about it, his eyes focused on one person.

He failed to defeat Lu Yijian, and this person had a great relationship. It can be said that this person was the only person who could fight against Lu Yijian in the Song Dynasty at that time. Regardless of his qualifications, prestige, fame, or weight in the eyes of the emperor, he was only above Lu Yijian. If he could help him in time, Lu Yijian would have been put on the bed and returned home. But what is angry is that this person stood by and watched from beginning to end and was indifferent.

When sin occurs, it is wrong to help evil, and it is also wrong to ignore it. Especially for people with strength to stop it, they are even more guilty of doing it instead of doing it!

Based on this principle, Fan Zhongyan determined this person and went straight to the door. He wanted to question in person: Heaven's justice, court code, all the truths are on my side, why don't you help me?

This question is a crucial opportunity in the history of the Song Dynasty. It was the source of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of a generation who was extremely distressed and angry, and could not bear it. He was heartbroken and asked to the end. His critical point was reached. This sentence and the other party's answer were the root of Fan Zhongyan surpassing everyone in the Song Dynasty and being praised by Zhu Xi as the first person in three hundred years.

The great transformation has finally begun!

"It is the responsibility of the prime minister to promote scholars. The great virtue of the prince is only less than this." Mr. Wang Zeng, as the prime minister, you should promote the righteousness of the scholars and officials, but you stand by and watch and keep your virtuousness alone. Your virtue has major flaws in this regard!

That's right, the person who can suppress Lu Yijian was Wang Zeng! With his reputation against Ding Wei, his years of restraining Liu E's reputation and his years of experience in the prime minister, no matter which point he said, Lu Yijian could not match him. If he took action at the right time, it would be absolutely not a matter of over-the-job, and Lu Yijian had to answer one by one. At that point, Fan Zhongyan firmly believed that Lu Yijian was finished, because the "Picture of Hundred Officials" was full of evidence, so he could not make any judgments! But Wang Zeng was hiding aside

Look at the joke, I don’t say anything from beginning to end. Well! I’m visiting you today. Why is it really hard to open a golden mouth? This time, he got his wish. Wang Zeng stared at him quietly and said softly———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Literally speaking, it should be translated in this way - if a person with state authority wants to let the favors of the world belong to him, then who do you want to give the corresponding resentment to?

A deeper meaning should be interpreted in this way - if a person holding state authority only wants everyone to say his good things and not let everyone say his bad things, is this possible?

This is saying: Is Lu Yijian a bad person? Is he doing bad things? The more he does, the more jealous he becomes. Only those who do nothing will no one hate it! A word awakens the dreamer, Fan Zhongyan suddenly reflects on himself. Are all he does right? Some of the most basic principles and concepts that never doubt usually create a question in his heart.

Should I build or destroy? Looking back on the years, I have indeed managed water and disaster relief in the local area, and have done a lot of practical and good deeds, but as soon as I enter the capital, I immediately devoted myself to the destruction. If I continue to do this with the concept of black and white, what else should I do after I overthrow Lu Yijian? Who will I overthrow? Will I just live a life of suppression, attack, and abuse?

If anyone does things, I will wait to pick his fault. Is this a gentleman? Changes in concepts bring about a leap in thought. Fan Zhongyan will understand a deeper meaning of Wang Zeng's failure to take action. If Wang Zeng takes action, it is the first of the Song Dynasty. There are too many examples before that prove that as long as such a situation occurs, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will be the result of stepping down at the same time. That is to relieve hatred, but who will care? The Song Dynasty is a stolen porridge, which is your hope of Fan Zhongyan?

In addition to black and white, there are thousands of colors, and we must follow the path that is most beneficial to the country. So Wang Zeng chose to remain silent. As for what kind of gentleman and villain? Let's go to hell! Without these rare animals, if we don't have such a clear distinction, wouldn't Zhao Kuangyin defeat the Song Dynasty?

On that day, Fan Zhongyan left Wang Zeng in a daze. He seemed to have seen another road, but he didn't know how to go. But it was certain that he had to leave the capital and go to Raozhou. There were still people who saw him in the ten-mile long pavilion, but only Li Hong and Wang Zhi were there. They raised their glasses to greet him-"You Guang, this trip for Fan Jun."

From "aura" to "yuguang" to "youguang" and now "youguang" Fan Zhongyan has become three lights, and he has become a banner for gentlemen and moral scholars. But time is like an arrow, Fan Zhongyan is 48 years old! At this point in his life, old age is approaching, so where is his achievements? Are they just some illusory halos of sages that are useless for the country and the people?

Fan Zhongyan smiled sadly and never had the passion and enthusiasm twice. Zhongyan has been three times at this point. If you send me another time, please prepare a sheep, just treat it as a sacrifice for me. After saying that, I will start from now on, and I will forget my body and promise the country and do practical things!

On the 21st, Ouyang Xiu was demoted to the magistrate of Yiling County. Yu Jing and Yin Zhu were also demoted respectively. So Cai Xiang, the prominent official of the Western Beijing Luoyang, wrote a poem titled "Four Sages and One Unworthy", and the Four Sages, Fan Zhongyan, Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, and Ouyang Xiu. One Unworthy One is Gao Ruonai. Cai Xiang is extremely talented in literature. This poem quickly spread from Xijing to Tokyo and spread across the country from Tokyo. In the end, even the friendly Liao Kingdom, which had been together for a hundred years, was alarmed.

At that time, a Khitan envoy happened to enter the Song Dynasty. The man was not sure what kind of mentality he spent a lot of money to copy the poem. After returning to Youzhou, he posted it on the city gate for all the residents of Hu Han to watch it. The Song Dynasty was so lively and the culture was prosperous, and even the war could be written into a poem!

Lu Yijian instructed his confidant, and the Censor Han Du came forward and asked the emperor to set up a list in the court, that is, the famous "client list" was strictly prohibited from forming cliques and forming illegal small groups from then on. It is particularly emphasized that all officials are never allowed to speak out in a way!

Standing under the sky of history and looking at this vigorous gentleman movement, Fan Zhongyan and his friends' struggles have also achieved some results. At least Fan Zhongyan's heart has been sublimated. But when his eyes float across the border of the Song Dynasty, they will find that they are worthless. The ambitions of aliens have expanded, sharpened their knives, and they are almost at the critical moment of life and death. What's the use of playing with these!

On November 4, Empress Dowager Baoqing passed away. Zhao Zhen was very sad. This was the true loving mother of his childhood. I didn’t say anything, all funerals should be better and more generous.

In this year, Li Yuanhao changed his reign to Daqing. In July, he began to sweep away the last remaining Uighur forces in the Hexi Corridor. He recaptured Gua, Sha and Suzhou, destroyed Shazhou Uighurs, and completely controlled the Hexi Corridor. In response to Tubo's Wusiluo, Li Yuanhao attacked Lanzhou at any cost, built a city of Wachuanhui, and left troops to guard it, cutting off the access between Tubo and the Song Dynasty.

More importantly, Li Yuanhao did one thing: he created the Dangxiang text!

Today we should be very clear: the most important reason why a nation can pass on through the ages, even if it has long been destroyed, can leave its own name in the long river of history is that it has its own words. Starting from the Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, Dangxiang, and the future Jurchens, Mongolians, and Manchus will all create their own words. And the Huns, Xianbei... the glorious history of the past is fleeting, and even if some vague legends are left, it will not be recognized by historians. Why? It is because there is no own words!

Li Yuanhao eliminated many difficulties. With the help of Ye Li Renrong, the wisest man in the Dangxiang, he created a new text without natural evolution. The "Six Books" of Chinese characters, namely pictograms, referring to events, phonograms, cognitive meanings, and reposts, and under the six principles of character formation, among which the characters pictograms account for the majority. The specific strokes are complex than the Chinese characters. There are more oblique strokes such as strokes, strokes, and there are no vertical or hooks. The overall shape is like unpruned wild trees, with too few trunks and too many branches. But no matter what, it appeared, and at the beginning it formed a "fan Shu" of 12 volumes.

Li Yuanhao attached great importance to it. On the day it was named "National Characters", the whole country celebrated and immediately promoted it to the tribe. It also established the "Fan Academy" and "Chinese Character Academy" to select students to teach, and graduates specifically used it to translate Chinese characters and Dangxiang characters.
