If you ask Lu Yijian what he regrets the most now, Empress Guo is not saying that it must be abolished, but it can be done more carefully, so it will not cause so much controversy. Many of his national policies can even be implemented one by one...

Comparing Fan Zhongyan's ten points, and then comparing Lv Yijian's eight points, the court's principles are in charge, blocking evil paths, banning goods and bribery, distinguishing the slandering, stopping the women's visits, dismissing the closeness of the people, slapping labor, and saving redundant expenses.

Who is more targeted, who is easier to implement, and who is more distinguishing between the primary and secondary?

But doing it is better than doing it. Zheng Lang is not disgusted with the Qingli New Deal and is far from reaching the goal that Fan Zhongyan wants. However, it is not evil in itself, and it also improves some of the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty and brings reflection to future generations... What is wrong is not the reform itself, but people!

Later people saw Han Qi's disunity. If you want to achieve your goals, you can't play like Han Fan. What should you do? Hold your team tightly to form a real party. Regardless of whether the other party is right or wrong, you will suppress it. A greater party struggle will be behind. Ouyang Xiu's wonderful article corrected the party...

It was not the Zhao Zhen Dynasty that harmed it, but the Zhao Xu Dynasty.

Comparing Lu Yijian’s approach, let’s see how the gentlemen do it?

Ouyang Xiu wrote three letters in a row, saying that Lu Yijian was Your Majesty’s prime minister, causing many difficulties in the suburbs, the people were trapped internally, the wise and foolish, and the wise and foolish were reversed, and the sects were greatly defeated. For more than 20 years, he ruined the world and enjoyed the wealth of his ministers, but left his great worries. Yijian was full of evil and his deeds were clear, and he was never defeated because he was in power, so he seized sovereignty and threatened China and foreign countries. Everyone was afraid and dared not attack. As he was sick, the ministers and the ministers in the world liked to be evil and abolished the heavens.

It is really bold to say that Zheng Lang impeached Guo Quan and Yang Kai never used such intense language. When people get old, there are many state affairs, their health is not good, and they are tired, so they get sick, but Ouyang Xiu said that it was the angel Lu Yijian who was sick.

It is also said that since Lu Yijian left, he has been using talents and has been worried about government affairs and has not given up Lu Yijian's crimes throughout his life. This is because His Majesty protects the situation and avoids the reputation of the court. Your Majesty does not let Yijian down. But Yijian is unwilling to the court. However, I am still afraid that Yijian does not know the shame and receive excessive grace from the country. His children are all lucky because of their father's luck. However, there are many troubles on the border and their ministers outside have worked hard and have not been transferred to officials. How can they make evil and evil families, corrupt and unlawful children not stop giving grace? Please do not discuss grace!

Seen or not!

So when Lu Yijian saw that his body could not support him, he gave him back and forth. What a sense of smell. If he didn't let him go, his sons could be eaten by gentlemen. In fact, in fact, Lu Gongzhu had a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu, but he was Lu Yijian's son. So Ouyang Xiu would never let him go! This is the real reason why Lu Yijian suddenly became depressed.

Zhao Zhen did not report.

Not only did he know Lu Yijian's character, but Zheng Lang and Zhao Zhen also commented on Lu Yijian, which was very fair. Decao is a villain, but he is a good minister. He has done a good job as a housekeeper in the Song Dynasty over the years, and Zhao Zhen also agreed. Even now, when there are major issues that cannot be made, Zhao Zhen often sends people to ask Lu Yijian, which makes him feel at ease.

Besides, Lu Gongzhu is Zheng Lang's student. Because Zheng Lang and Zhao Zhen lowered Wang Anshi from the top scorer to Tanhua, he felt guilty. Among Zheng Lang's students, Zhao Zhen also believed that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were talented, but Decao still liked Lu Gongzhu the most. Why should a very gentle young man be dealt with?

Ouyang Xiu wrote another letter, saying that the country had an edict, but officials could not follow it. The reason was that the court was self-destructive and the court could not be confident, so who would be willing to do it? Last October, a minister said that in the future, the ministers (visitors) were not allowed to submit recommendations for the class. The imperial edict was issued. It was only three or four months ago, but Lu Yijian's servant Yuan Zong and his two servants were appointed as their posts...

The disciples of the Song Dynasty called Qianke, and the lower-class servants were called Qianren, but Ouyang Xiu said that he was pudding and said that he was a very vicious swearing. Zhao Zhen made Ouyang Xiu feel a headache and demoted Yuan Zong and the two of them.

Ouyang Xiu introduced the third memorial. He heard that Lu Yijian had frequently reported secretly and secretly wrote from the Imperial Medicine Academy. I wonder if this is the case? Yes, Zhao Zhen was afraid that the words would make trouble for the ministers. If there was any difficult national affairs, he asked the Imperial Medicine Academy doctor to go to the Lu family to diagnose Lu Yijian's condition and asked about the national affairs.

What should I do? Let it go a little bit.

I think that as a minister, Lu Yijian was in the position of prime minister for a long time, and could not destroy the troops outside and calm the people inside, which led to the two enemies' friendship. China was worried and dangerous, the soldiers and civilians were tired, the upper and lower levels were tired, the virtuous and foolish, the punishment and rewards were not won, and the court's discipline was almost very bad. The muscle strength had weakened and the spiritual consciousness was exhausted, so how could he work with the country? When he was in good health, the country was corrupted like this, and even when he was sick, Yijian should stay closed and not talk to people. If he had the intention of serving the country, everything would be in accordance with the public and let the ministers of the country discuss together. How could he secretly write and confused the sages to listen? He automatically forgot that Zhao Zhen had

Although Lu Yijian was asked to stop his ministers, he was able to participate in the military and national affairs, but he was memorialized by gentlemen and took down this right. In short, Ouyang Xiu was rather clumsy, but Sima Guang's words in history were not in line with his actions, and he was perfect in playing. These were all role models brought by Ouyang Xiu. Moreover, Lu Yijian was suffering from paralysis and his hands and feet could not move, and it would be difficult to write a memorial by himself. If there were unfilial people, his children might be false or leaked, and they would be incompatible with their bodies. I heard that they should not be quasi-minded, and should not be doubted. Let the ministers in China and abroad take charge of their duties. They should not make the ministers who have retired without merits and be confused.

After hearing the three memorials, Lu Yijian called Lu Gongzhu into the bedroom and said, "Zhuo'er, did you say that I had suppressed something wrong in the past, but you did something wrong, but you see today's court?"

Lu Gongzhu said hesitantly: "It's right to the thing, not the person..."

Lu Yijian smiled and said, "It's okay if you really want to be right to things and not people. But your husband really wants to be right to things but not people... So everyone impeached me, and I feel a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, but only Zheng Lang impeached me, but I am not angry. But things are done by people, and it is so difficult to think about things but not people. Although he wrote the Doctrine of the Mean, he has not truly realized the mystery of the Doctrine of the Mean. Take a look at his Doctrine of the Mean and think about it more."

"Sir, didn't write..."

"He didn't think about how to write, but I listened to his benevolence and righteousness and talked about benevolence and righteousness, selfishness and others, and good and evil in human nature. It is precisely because of this mean that I repeatedly recommend this son in front of His Majesty. In terms of talent, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi have no talent, but lack this mean way, so I cannot take on the responsibility of the country. Unfortunately, I saw this book and understood it very late, otherwise I could do better."

Confucius did not write much about the doctrine of the mean. The doctrine of the mean was written by the later generations of the Master. However, the doctrine of the mean implements the spirit of the Master. This doctrine of the mean is not a rare confusion, but a kind of adjustment. From the Book of Changes to the Analects of Confucius, and then to the Book of Rites. The existence of this adjustment can be seen in many places. Some people list it as a three-point, but the three-point is only a part of the doctrine of the mean. In fact, it is really huge. The literati of the Song Dynasty faintly noticed that Zhu Xi had carefully discussed it, but did not write its true appearance. After the Song Dynasty, few people seriously reflected on the eight-legged articles that Confucianism became dogmatic. Until later generations, some people dug out the doctrine of the mean, but the writing was not very correct.

In a truly detailed and comprehensive theoretical discussion of the doctrine of the mean, Zheng Lang was the first person in the past and later generations.

When he was young, he still didn't write it well, such as discussing things with the facts. This is good, which is conducive to fair evaluation of whether a thing is correct or not. This is obviously the spirit of an ancient scholar and official. However, people always have their own vision. For example, Li Shimin, how many people were used in using people and Li Shimin. When Wei Zheng was alive, he regarded Wei Zheng as a mirror, and Hou Junji rebelled, wanted to dig Wei Zheng's tomb, and Goryeo greatly damaged the country's vitality, and regretted not listening to Wei Zheng's words. This is to discuss matters with people.

Judging things by people will be biased, and Ouyang Xiu and others will even discuss things by people, which is a regression. But who can truly discuss things by things?

Just like altruists, extreme altruists and factual discussions will have bad negative effects, but the selfish side of people always occupies the mainstream. Therefore, society needs Lei Feng, altruists, and factual discussions, which is a way of regulation.

To extend it, centralized countries are prone to slaughter. Then find ways to make the regime transparent, so that society and the people supervise, and reduce the slaughter brought by autocracy, then the benefits of centralized countries can be exerted. If there is any national policy, it will be easier to implement because there is less controversy.

If it is a so-called democratic country, two parties have a dispute, and you look at me and I look at you, the situation will be less. However, because disputes are not conducive to the implementation of national policies, then find ways to reduce the dispute and turn to mutual supervision. However, when discussing state affairs, you cannot attack your opponents and unite, so the corresponding integrity brought by democracy can give full play to a greater advantage.

For example, the redundant officials and bloated officials of the Song Dynasty were not allowed to emerge, and the official atmosphere was slightly better than other dynasties, but the government orders were not smooth. So try to streamline the military and government orders to keep the government orders unimpeded. The huge supervision system of the Song Dynasty could play a more benign role.

This is the doctrine of the mean.

Some Zheng Lang noticed it, but he had not thought about it systematically, and some had not thought about it yet.

Lu Yijian thought of this to judge things based on facts.

"My father, do you mean that although people are talking about things, it is better to talk about things based on things?"

"Zhuo'er, you finally figured out what I meant. There is no absolute thing in the world. I suddenly thought of the law that Zheng Lang mentioned. Law is the framework, the surface, the regulation in the surface, and the point, but this point is not absolutely unmoving."

When Lu Gongzhu heard this, he felt a little dizzy. Lu Yijian said again: "It is more complicated to judge things by facts and judge things by people. It is good to judge things by facts, but things are done by people. Therefore, it is a law by people, and judge things by people. But Ouyang Xiu and others turned it upside down. Do you think it is a good or a bad thing to reverse yin and yang? Even I was not so violent before. Zhuoer, although you are moderate, you will also participate in writing, but the extended things are not written by your husband, and you will not even think of them when you were young. Think about it carefully, once you truly understand it, you can become more than half a virtuous minister."

"yes."

"Please write a resignation for me, saying that I am sick and old, please let Your Majesty let me go, let me retire, and stay in the door without asking about political affairs. Writing it more tactfully, let Your Majesty know that allowing me to truly retire is my protection."

"Here," Lu Gongzhu began to write his resignation.

Lu Yijian doesn't care. The key is to consider his sons. If they do not give in, these gentlemen will immediately stomp on their four sons. If the four sons have not grown up, and once Ouyang Xiu and others are ruined, their career will be completely over in the future.

When Zhao Zhen saw Lu Yijian's resignation, he felt mixed feelings and appointed Lu Yijian's Taiwei to retire, and the morning meeting and the grand court meeting, and the Zhongshumen got off work. The latter was affirmation, but Lu Yijian actually took back all the last little power.

Ouyang Xiu was overjoyed, but it was not over. He stared at another person at the court meeting. The Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor was appointed as the Central Commander. Lu Yijian turned over Ren Bu, so he recommended Ren Zhong Shi to stop being appointed Ren Bu, and then he was summoned to be the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor. Will Ouyang Xiu let this person go?

Lao Ren is a good old man. Seeing that Ouyang Xiu had a bad attitude, he wrote to him: "I am old and my family is from Caozhou. I ask Your Majesty to let me govern Caozhou and raise my old age."

Ouyang Xiu, don’t look at me, I will retreat by myself, so that you can’t get out of the stage after throwing me dirty water.

Ouyang Xiu was happy, but he was pushing the new policy step by step into the bottomless abyss...!~!
