Chapter 466: Ouyang Xiu had an accident

The first time was in the fifth year of Qingli, and it was revealed that he had an adulterous affair with his niece Ah Zhang.

said that he was a niece, but in fact, Ah Zhang and Ouyang Xiu were not related.

Ouyang Xiu has a sister who is married to Xiangcheng Zhang Guizheng as a continuation. Zhang Guizheng and his ex-wife have a daughter, namely A Zhang.

Soon after Ouyang married into the Zhang family, Zhang Guizheng died, and the Ouyang family was lonely, so he had to take the seven-year-old Xiao Ah Zhang back to his parents' home.

When Ah Zhang grew up, Ouyang Xiu gave her a family affair and married Ouyang Sheng, the son of her brother.

Ouyang Sheng is the head of Qianzhou, Song Renzong Qingli five years, Ouyang Sheng's term of office expired, and he brought his wife A Zhang and his servant Chen Ji back to Beijing to report on their work.

After returning to Beijing, Ah Zhang had an affair with Chen Ji and was discovered by her husband.

Ouyang Sheng reported Ah Zhang and Chen Zhi to the Right Army Patrol Court of Kaifeng Mansion, and during the interrogation, Ah Zhang suddenly confessed that he had an improper relationship with Ouyang Xiu before, and said, "The current affairs of the unmarried prince are ugly."

Then some people thought of Ouyang Xiu's "Wangjiangnan".

Jiangnan willow, the leaves are small and not shady. The artificial silk is light and forbearing, and the warbler is too tender to groan. Leave it for the depths of spring.

In the 14th Five-Year Plan, I was looking for a pipa. Go up and down the stairs, and pay attention to the time when you see each other. Not to mention to this day.

Why does Ah Zhang want to climb his uncle, there are two sayings that have been circulated so far, one is that "Zhang is afraid of sin, and wants to exonerate himself".

First, it was said that Ah Zhang was instigated by Yang Riyan, the governor of Kaifeng.

Because Yang Riyan was too punctual in Yizhou before, Ouyang Xiu once impeached him for being "greedy", Yang Riyan held a grudge and seized the opportunity of Ah Zhang being accused of adultery, and instructed the jailer to instigate Ah Zhang in an attempt to drag Ouyang Xiu into the water.

When the official Qian Mingyi heard the news, he immediately wrote a letter to impeach Ouyang Xiu.

However, when the case reached the judicial department, the presiding military inspector Sun Kui believed that Zhang's confession was too appalling and lacked evidence to be believed.

However, Prime Minister Jia Changchao believed that the judicial department should investigate whether Ouyang Xiu was involved in the case, and ordered Su Anshi, the judge of the household department of the third division, to reorganize the court and retry the case of A Zhang.

Su Anshi accepted Ah Zhang's confession and determined that Ouyang Xiu had an improper relationship with Ah Zhang.

Fortunately, at this time, Song Renzong sent the eunuch Wang Zhaoming to "supervise the investigation" to prevent unjust and wrongful cases.

Now this Wang Zhaoming is working with Li Ruoyu to train the Xiang Army in Shaanxi, one is in charge of Qin Wei and the other is in charge of Huanqing.

Speaking of which, this person had a holiday with Ouyang Xiu - before, Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the capital of Hebei, and Renzong ordered Wang Zhaoming to accompany him, but Ouyang Xiu wrote and said: "According to the convention, there is no reason for the chamberlain to go together, and the minister is ashamed." ”

This is a clear discrimination against internal officials.

However, the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty seem to be more reliable in character than scholars.

Wang Zhaoming read Su Anshi's closing report and was shocked: "Today's provincial judgment is to cater to the prime minister's wishes, and to do great evil, Zhaoming can't eat a sword on another day." ”

The words are ugly. Now you only rely on Ah Zhang's words and have no conclusive evidence, and you have sentenced Ouyang Xiu to commit a great evil, which is obviously to cater to the prime minister's intentions. If it is a wrong case, won't it cause me to eat a sword with me on a different day?

Su Anshi listened to Wang Zhaoming's words, and he was also a little panicked, and he didn't dare to go to prison anymore, and upheld Sun Kui's original sentence.

Although this matter escaped, Ouyang Xiu was still found to be flawed.

He used Ah Zhang's property to buy land, but set up Ouyang's household registration, and was suspected of embezzling orphans' property.

So in August of the fifth year of Qingli, Ouyang Xiu "sat on Zhang's Xizhongwu to buy Tianli Ou's coupons", was demoted to Chuzhou, and left the famous "Drunkard Pavilion".

……

And this time the accident happened because of his wife's cousin Xue Liangru.

Xue Liangru was held accountable for the corruption of the person he recommended.

The matter was not big, plus Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and his cousin's husband was participating in politics again, Xue Liangru thought to himself that this time it would be stable.

As a result, Ouyang Xiuwei expressed his selflessness, "I can't say that I can't be lucky, and I can't forgive", Xue Liangru was severely punished, not only was he not pardoned, but he was even removed from his official position.

So Xue Liangru hated Ouyang Xiu to the core, so he spread the word that Ouyang Xiu and his daughter-in-law Wu had an adulterous affair.

The rumor spread through the mouth of Liu Jin, the manager of Jixian, to the ears of Peng Siyong in the imperial history, and Peng Siyong told Jiang Zhiqi in the imperial history.

Jiang Zhiqi immediately took it as a lifesaver and poked it out in the court.

……

Zhao Ji returned to the apse and was furious: "It's my counselor!" The first emperor gradually, Shao Kangjian hung the curtain, such a big thing is not to say, and the selfishness of the boudoir! ”

"That's my participation in politics! If you don't repair your private clothes, you still have a face in the court! His sin is no longer punishable! ”

"This is my prime minister! Sluggish government, Su You raised 150,000 catties of refined copper in Wangzhou, such a big event, it needs to be reported three times in a row! ”

A civil official got up from his chair: "Your Majesty, are you still lecturing today?" ”

Today's attendant is Sun Sigong, who is proficient in Guan's "Yi", especially "Dayan", and has a deep study of mathematics and astronomy.

"Try to repair the armillary sphere of the Astronomical Academy, write "Yao to Xining Long Calendar", the study of the modern calendar, there is no one who can reach it."

and Su Song, the little celestial master, are good friends.

The annals of history record that he "does not disagree with things, does not commit crimes, and is devoted to things." If you see something, you will hear it. ”

Zhao Ji likes his amicable personality very much, and sometimes asks him for his opinions on political affairs.

Zhao Ji sat down and put his hand on his head: "Sun Shi said...... I'm out of interest today...... Chat with me. What kind of person are you talking about Ouyang Xiu? ”

Sun Sigong said slowly while packing up his teaching aids: "Originally, I was going to tell Your Majesty today about the principle of the rainbow and the scattering of light, but since Your Majesty is out of interest, then forget it." ”

"The minister doesn't know much about Ouyang's participation in politics, but if he says that he is a traitor, the minister thinks that it is a bit too much."

"In fact, in addition to Pu Yi's position, Ouyang's participation in politics is not welcomed by hundreds of officials, or because he is too upright."

"Back then, the Queen Mother hung the curtain, participated in politics and discussed the country with the second princess of Han Fu, the prelude to the curtain system, or the ruling gathering, as long as the ideas were different, he always had to strive for it."

"Taiwan admonishes go to the political hall to discuss things, although the matter has nothing to do with themselves, but the one who was impeached has not had time to speak, and he has already eloquently talked about participating in politics, which is too short for Taiwan's admonition."

"The scholars have made suggestions and said what is good and harmful, but in the past, they were mostly vague and did not know what was right and wrong. When it came to participating in politics, he bluntly analyzed: 'Something is feasible, something is not feasible.' ’”

"Your Majesty, the first emperor once said to the politicians: 'The Qing is straightforward and does not avoid public grievances.'" When he participated in politics, he casually recited the famous words of the late Prime Minister Wang Zeng: 'If you want to be your own, who should be resentful?' ’”

"Your Majesty, who is the initiator of the Pu Discussion? But why did in the end, the court's resentment be attributed to political participation? ”

"Fornication and incest are too appalling, and the minister thinks that it needs to be carefully verified, and everything is to speak with evidence. Rashly disposing of important ministers of the state because of rumors may hurt His Majesty's wisdom. ”

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "What the waiter said is extremely true, this matter has to be slowed down......"

In any case, less than three months after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the center was paralyzed.

Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang was guilty of the crime.

Ouyang Xiu connected eleven notes and defended himself: "The ministers and the government were framed in vain, but they relied on the court to investigate the truth and make the crime return." ”

repeatedly asked Zhao Ji to "send officials to investigate the truth according to what he pointed out", and if there is anything to do, please "show the city, and quickly the anger of the world"; If there is no such thing, please also "show the Quartet to clear up the doubts of the world".

Ouyang Xiu's in-law Wu Chong, "also begged the court to distinguish between truth and truth, and clearly showed the world, so that the door would not be insulted."

But except for Wu Chong, no official was willing to write to defend Ouyang Xiu, and the lethality of Pu Yi was too great.
