Chapter 14 Ouyang Xiu is in trouble again!

Ouyang Bian was inexplicably locked up in confinement.

Oh, it doesn't count. Ouyang Fa was ordered by Ouyang Xiu to go to school every day and have to take Ouyang Bian with him. If he doesn't do it, he will beat Ouyang Fa first, then beat Ouyang Yi, then beat Ouyang F, and finally beat Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Fa: "...who did I provoke whom?"

Ouyang Yi: "...Who did I provoke whom?"

Ouyang Fen: "...Who did I provoke whom?"

Ouyang Bian: "...who did I provoke whom?"

The three Ouyang Fa brothers did not provoke anyone, they were just a disaster, but Ouyang Bian provoked Ouyang Xiu.

There was no way. Just as the next day, Ouyang Bian was dragged out of the bed by his elder brother.

Ouyang Bian, who was sleep-deprived, was helped by Bizhu to wear clothes, wash his face, comb his hair, eat breakfast with his eyes closed, and then closed his eyes and let his elder brother Ouyang Fa walk to Xue's school with his hands in his hands.

When it was time to the entrance of the school, Ouyang Bian woke up.

"Who am I, where am I, and why did I come to school?"

Ouyang Bian turned around and left, but was tightly held back by his elder brother Ouyang Fa.

Ouyang Fa hurriedly said to his two younger brothers: "I won't help. If he is asked to leave, we will be beaten tonight!"

Then Ouyang Bian was dragged into the school and the student was reluctant to sleep on the table.

In fact, enlightenment education is not difficult for Ouyang Bian. Combining the thinking of adults and the heads of children is the best time to combine logical thinking and memory.

Whether it is understanding the meaning of the text or memorizing it, it is actually not difficult. The difficulty is to calm down and study hard.

For an adult who has been in society for more than ten years, it is not an exaggeration to send him back to the Qixi Primary School to describe his life as in the past years.

Ouyang Bian wanted to skip school, but was stared at by his three brothers.

"It was born with the same roots, so why are we so anxious to fight each other? Three brothers!"

Ouyang Bian stayed in bed and refused to get up.

Ouyang snorted coldly: "I won't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. If we let you go, my father will not let us go."

Ouyang Bian kicked his short legs and sighed: "Brother, you are a sincere gentleman with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You even have the idea of ​​a dead fellow Taoist who will not die. If you have changed, you are no longer the elder brother I respect."

Ouyang Fa laughed and said, "You have some reason to skip class, right? Get up quickly, otherwise we will take you out and it will be a bad look."

This is a must-have question and answer every day.

...

It took a full month to get up early every day and do homework at night. Ouyang Bian felt that he had returned to the years of being a social animal.

He cried to Xue and begged for mercy with Ouyang Xiu, but strangely, it would be fine if Ouyang Xiu didn't care about him, but even Xue supported Ouyang Xiu's decision.

"So, will love be transferred, right?" Ouyang Bian said to Xue in tears.

Xue felt very distressed, and then quickly bought a few more copybooks for Ouyang Bian, which moved Ouyang Bian so much that tears flowed out.

Going to heaven and earth, there is no way to help, Ouyang Bian can only follow and learn honestly.

With in-depth study, Ouyang Bian really found the interest in learning.

Xue's enlightenment master was naturally unquestionable in terms of level. Although the teaching methods were outdated, the explanation was in-depth and concise, which was quite interesting, which was still very different from later teaching.

Master Li, who taught, attached great importance to the youngest son of the Ouyang family. Although it can be seen that this kid was a little reluctant when he first came to school, he could always pass various assessments and tests easily. He even wrote a stylus pen and silver hook. Although there were flaws in the details, his structure was strong and powerful.

This is because Ouyang Bian often used hard pens in his previous life and had never practiced brush calligraphy much, but there was no problem with the overall calligraphy structure. Using hard pens to write brush calligraphy naturally looks quite tough.

Ouyang Xiu is in trouble again.

After returning from Yingzhou, Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the Quan Jue Liu Neiquan. Liu Neiquan is a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for the inspection, selection, transfer and other related matters of the prefecture and county officials, and has certain real power.

Since Ouyang Xiu had received the order, he put down many thoughts in his heart and devoted himself to his work.

Then he found that over the years, more and more people have been qualified to be an official through various channels such as the imperial examination and the family, but their positions are very limited.

Most of the people who are in short supply are lonely and poor. They live in the capital and wait for appointments for a year or two. After finally waiting for a suitable position, they are often taken first by the children and relatives of powerful families.

Upon learning of these situations, he immediately submitted a "Note on the Transfer of the Choice of the Children of the Powerful and the Rich" to the court, advocating the restriction of the privileges of the children of the Powerful and the Rich.

Renzong agreed and immediately issued an order, and ordered the judges of the third class to handle the matter accordingly.

Somehow something happened at this time.

Hu Su, a Hanlin scholar, had a good personal relationship with Ouyang Xiu, and his son Hu Zongyao was transferred to the position of Beijing official as a regular inspection by the Ministry of Personnel.

After the materials were reported, Renzong instructed: This person had violated the law and could only be increased step by step according to the annual salary.

It turned out that when Hu Zongyao was appointed as the chief official in Changzhou, the governor had borrowed the official boat without authorization. Zongyao did not give advice and was implicated and punished by the court.

When Renzong summoned him, Ouyang Xiu raised objections, believing that Hu Zongyao had committed minor mistakes at that time and had received pardons, and could be renamed as a Beijing official in accordance with the regulations.

As soon as the imperial meeting ended, the memorial to impeach Ouyang Xiu was handed to the emperor.

Some eunuchs and some officials accused Ouyang Xiu of being favored and abused the law, and even Renzong could not withstand it.

In order to calm the "public anger", Renzong decided to dismiss Ouyang Xiuquan's position as the governor of Liu Neiquan and became the governor of Tongzhou (now Dali, Shaanxi).

At this time, less than a month and a half before Ouyang Xiu took office, he once again became a victim of rumors and conspiracy, and once again repeated the unfortunate experience ten years ago!

More than a month ago, he was still crying for the emperor's care and secretly blaming himself for his declining ambitions. Who knew that a basin of cold water was thrown on his head unexpectedly.

Ouyang Xiu sighed at home, and Ouyang Bian, who came back from school, found out that this was happening after asking.

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but admire him. As expected, he was a little expert in causing trouble. He didn't have long since returned and was immediately in trouble again.

In terms of fate, Su Shi was the only one who could compare with Ouyang Xiu in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Xue looked calm and quietly instructed Bizhu and others to start packing their luggage and prepare to go to Tongzhou.

She is used to it.

It is so skillful that it is heartbreaking.

Ouyang Bian secretly called Bizhu, and the master and servant sneaked out.

Ouyang Bian went straight to Zhang’s restaurant. Zhang Qi saw him and said, “Why are you still free? What’s going on with your father these days…”

Ouyang Bian waved his hand: "Uncle, I'm here to ask you about this. You run a restaurant. There should be a lot of news here. Do you know what's going on?"

"What do you want to know?"

Ouyang Bian pondered for a moment and said, "I want to know why eunuchs also participated in the impeachment of my father. I can understand those officials. After all, this involves their interests, but eunuchs shouldn't?"

Zhang Qi said in surprise: "Don't you know?"

Ouyang Bian was happy: "There is really news. I have been going to school every day. My father is busy with work, so there are naturally not many sources of information. Uncle, tell me quickly."

Zhang Qi nodded and started to defend Ouyang.

It turned out that there was a memorial signed by Ouyang Xiu, which criticized some popular eunuchs by name and asked Renzong to eliminate them.

"This memorial was widely spread in the capital, so your father became a thorn in the eunuchs' side, and it was normal for him to get thorns in the flesh, so your father was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate."

Ouyang Bian pondered for a moment. He didn't know what was going on in the memorial, but it was very likely that Ouyang Xiu did it, which was very Ouyang Xiu.
