"What kind of person is Zhang Lambzuo, a relative doesn't talk about Changxiang, Fan Xinu is in power and talks about heart erosion, he doesn't know where he is an official, and the characters who have only emerged in recent years have no vendetta with Fan Xiwen, why oppose him returning to the dynasty.

”

Looking back on Fan Zhongyan's life, in every respect, it is in line with the model of Confucian teachings. Even if it is picky with the eyes of modern people. He also had a perfect life from low to high, tenacious and self-reliant, and made the greatest contribution to the nation and the country in his time, both spiritually and substantively.

These were seen by contemporaries. It was also recognized by later generations, and the title of the first person in three hundred years, whether it was before or after death, was recognized by the world, however, like this kind of upright gentleman who chased Confucius directly and was similar to a sage, but like exile, he could not return to the court, and Chu was puzzled. Hurriedly asked.

"Don't think that Zhang Yaozuo is a character, even a few officials can make him anxious, he doesn't have so much energy to stop Fan Xiwen from returning to the dynasty." Zhang Fangping said softly: "It's just that everyone doesn't want him to go back." ”

"Why?" Chu Zhen was stunned and said, "Could it be that the implementation of the new policy is to offend too many people?" ”

This is just one of them, Zhang Fangping shook his head. Suddenly, he sneered: "Mainly because he is too good at tossing, he is always worried." is alarmist at every turn, reminding everyone to be careful of external enemies and internal strife, and not letting everyone live a pure life at all times, the official family has the intention to use him, but they can't stand his temperament. ”

As many scholars commented in later generations, the implementation of the new policy was out of the need to deal with internal and external troubles, and by the fourth or fifth year of Qingli, the peace conference between Song and Xia was a foregone conclusion, and the military and civilian riots in the northwest had also subsided. It not only solved the urgent need, but also took a bright turn.

Everything is too peaceful in the world, everyone wants to live a few days of leisure, but Fan Zhongyan's existence makes everyone very troubled, the most hateful thing is that he is openly forming a party, you will end it, don't talk nonsense. It also has to be preached everywhere, which makes the emperor how to deal with himself. is to protect you, but for the throne of the dragon chair, the only way to stay away is to respect.

After all, when Song Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, he inspired and induced Shi Shouxin and others to sing and dance more girls, drink and drink happily every day, and after the end of their days, the scholars and doctors were used to a life of carnival, drinking and feasting, and courtesans to help them live, and they were so comfortable immersed in the gentle township, who would miss Fan Zhongyan.

Perhaps in the hearts of the emperor and ministers, the empathetic, likable and well-behaved, and never upright will enjoy the summer spicy life very much. I'm afraid it's far more cute than Fan Zhongyan, who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and worries about the country and the people, such a person, let him stay away from Yuanji and worry about playing by himself, who made you out of place.

Understanding the meaning of Zhang Fangping's words, Chu Zhen was silent for a long time, filled with grief and indignation in his heart, and shouted for Fan Zhongyan.

"What, do you think it's unfair to Fan Xiwen like this?" Zhang Fangping said.

Not only is it unfair, it is simply what the reason is. Chu Zhen was so angry that he didn't know how to describe his feelings, and nodded heavily and admitted: "The behavior of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China. It doesn't look like a gentleman's doing. ”

"Proton". Suddenly, Zhang Fangping was extremely serious, and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember that above the officialdom, there is no distinction between gentlemen and villains, and there is no so-called fairness. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Fangping smiled lightly: "According to Fan Xiwen, they said." Lu Xiang and I, as well as many ministers, are full villains, people who bring disaster to the country and the people, but I, Zhang Andao, can swear by heaven that I have never done anything to be sorry for the people of the court. ”

"It's Lu Xiang, although the amount of equipment is insufficient. It is difficult to tolerate people, and anyone who opposes him is either demoted or suppressed, but he has been in power for many years, and during the period when Empress Dowager Liu listened to the government, he preserved the official family. There is also the matter of Concubine Li Ding, which can be called a credit to the imperial court. Zhang Fangping also seemed a little angry. Snorted: "And those so-called direct ministers. But he ignored this, or directly ignored it, not only comparing Lu to Li Linfu in the Tang Dynasty. It is fair to attribute the responsibility for the rebellion of Western Xia to Lu Xiang

Chu Zhen had to admit that what Zhang Fangping said was reasonable. No matter what he was involved in, or how many literati accused Lu Yijian, but people did do a lot of things, and the Empress Dowager Liu E once tested the attitude of the ministers, wanting to learn from Wu Zetian and become the emperor. It was to persuade Lu Yijian to dispel his thoughts.

There is also Emperor Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Li Zong. When he died, he was originally planned to be buried according to the standards of ordinary palace people, but Lu Yijian insisted on the funeral in the imperial palace, and the queen mother and the emperor had to mourn and dress, if these were just to please the emperor, then he used and supported his old enemy Fan Zhongyan during the Western Xia War.

To be fair, it's a bit of a renunciation. is open-minded for the public, however, many people turn a blind eye to this and still scold Lu Yi for forgetting his father. But for private purposes, use power for profit

Wait.

"Forget it, you're still young, you don't understand it now. Later, I gradually understood. Zhang Fangping smiled. Raise your glass and sip it carefully.

Chu Zhen nodded slightly, and in an instant, something seemed to be broken in his heart, and he was willing to ... Fierce and sober. Yes. I was too attached to the previous impression, after all, I was influenced by the price of silk in later generations, and I always thought that during the Renzong period, until after Shenzong, the political atmosphere of the court was clear and noble, although there were villains in the court, but there were more gentlemen.

What a gentleman is, for example, is often said in history books. The gentlemen are bosom friends who talk about everything in the court, but after they go to the court, they turn their faces ruthlessly for the sake of business. You can speak harshly, you quarrel with me, never give in, and then after going down, you continue to talk about everything, just like relatives.

However, there are only a few who can really do this, politics is not child's play, it is often said how good Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's personal relationship is, but when one comes to power, he demotes his opponents to Luoyang to repair books. When the scholar came back to power, he immediately abolished all the new laws, whether good or bad, and left no one. Where else to talk about friendship.

The most contacted are He She, Fan Zhongyan and other great Confucian ministers, and they made the mistake of generalizing to the whole, Chu Zhen smiled bitterly, a glass of wine was down, Xiuyi's face flushed, and he should have understood. Politics, no matter ancient or modern, when has it been clear.

"But, then again, you don't have to worry about it." Zhang Fangping smiled and said, "As long as you don't learn from Fan Xiwen, those people are the same." Twenty or thirty years later, Zhongshu Zaizhi may not dare to be delusional, but the third secretary and privy councillor are still expected to take over. ”

"But it's my uncle who thinks highly of me." Chu Zhi said modestly, he had thought about this, but in the Renzong Dynasty, which was full of famous ministers, he did not have much confidence, and after twenty or thirty years, if history has not changed, it is still Song Shenzong is in power, and Wang Anshi is the prime minister, so he can naturally hide as far as he can. Try to provoke them as little as possible.

"As long as you marry a daughter-in-law, it's not a pipe dream." Blinking his eyes, Zhang Fangping smiled and said: "Of course, you also have to fight for your own strength, don't learn from Chu Junrui's inaction, and be diligent and cautious as an official." Be friendly with your colleagues, so as not to be like Zhang Yaozuo. is in a high position, but the officials are not convinced. ”

Unlike ordinary local officials, Zhang Fangping still has a certain amount of connections in the court, and naturally knows about Chu Zhen and Cao Yaxin's engagement, the Cao family is a relative, and it is more worthy of the name than Zhang Yao Zuoli, and if he marries him, he will definitely not be able to get rid of the identity of a relative, so Zhang Fangping took the opportunity to remind him to be careful.

Cao Yaxin's pretty and slightly delicate face swept through her mind, and Chu Zhen naturally understood the power of the Cao family, and she understood it more thoroughly than Zhang Fangping. Sometimes he also wonders whether he really likes Cao Yaxin or wants to be inflammatory.

"Of course, you are different from him, you are a Jinshi, you are on the right path, and if you don't make mistakes, it will come naturally." Zhang Fangping said: "It's not like Zhang Yaozuo, a promoter from a small place on the border. Qinghai was promoted to the third envoy. is in charge of the world's money and grain, this is the first person under the prime minister of the two palaces. How not to provoke envy. ”

In a word, the mystery is broken. No matter how the official impeached Zhang Yaozuo's corpse, he was incapable of stealing a high position, in fact, to put it bluntly, he was red-eyed, and from the current point of view, he was purely full of food and had nothing to do. Nonsense.

Chu Zhen smiled and didn't speak, after all, from his standpoint, Zhang Yaozuo deserved it. Who called the Zhang family to have a grudge with the Cao family, and always worried about the position of the harem, as the future son-in-law of the Cao family, Chu Zhen clearly did not help his relatives. Immediately, Chu Zhen also realized that after all, he was still a mortal, even if he admired Fan Zhongyan's deeds and deeds. But it's still hard to do.

Coming to such a conclusion, Chu Zhen was a little confused in his heart, and he was the same, what qualifications did he have to condemn others, but after thinking about it carefully, he was still a little unwilling, and he always felt that he could do something. But not that determination.

In fact, it can also be understood that Chu Zhen is a human being in two lives. In my previous life, I was a small white-collar worker, serving three meals a day. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are running around and working, what is the responsibility of the world, too far away from him, at most he knows some injustices on the Internet, reprimands a few words, and forgets them all the next day.

Now there is no need to worry about life, and the most contacts are He She, Fan Zhongyan and others who are worried about the country and the people, besides, they have received more than ten years of patriotic education, in their bones and in their blood. Even deep in my heart, there are more or less ideals of governing the country and leveling the world, but I didn't have the opportunity before. But it is now possible.

The system of promoting officials in the Song Dynasty was too perfect, and with Chu Qian's qualifications, as long as he went step by step, of course, he had to make more meritorious achievements, and it was indeed not difficult to become the center and be in power. However, perhaps it is too much knowledge of history. Knowing the difficulty of innovating and changing the law, Chu Zhen was very hesitant. hesitated, in the final analysis, he still lacked Wang Anshi's fearless spirit of not being afraid of the sky, the ancestors were not the law, and people were not afraid of words, and he thought about it repeatedly.

In the end, Chu Zhen was the same as before, put this thought aside for the time being, comfort himself, and forget it. Take one step at a time, anyway, there is still more than ten or twenty years old to think slowly, and it is not too late to make a decision after the communication, in fact, I still have the mentality of a small person, and I dare not take responsibility.
