Wang Gongchen, who served as the middle of the imperial history, was originally a young man who became a conservative person, he was a high school champion at a young age, and he was quite arrogant, because in private, he was mocked by Ouyang Xiu, who was brilliant and talented, and was originally a brother-in-law.

In opposing Fan Zhongyan's implementation of the new policy, Wang Gongchen in addition to his personality, in addition, Ouyang Xiu is Fan Zhongyan's old friend for many years, and he strongly supports Fan Zhongyan's implementation of the new policy, making Wang Gongchen "hate the house and the black", and it is not excluded that there are elements of personal grievances.

In Fan Zhongyan's book, about the content related to "building a school", Wang Gongchen secretly guessed that Ouyang Xiu assisted Fan Zhongyan in writing it, so it became one of his specific targets.

No, after Fan Zhongyan defended himself in the way of inferiority and self-esteem, Wang Gongchen once again stood out and expressed his objections, but he first complimented Fan Zhongyan and said: "Your Majesty, what Fan Xiwen just said is quite reasonable. As Fan Xiwen said, the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period was precisely because of the beginning of the Shang Dynasty Reform that the Qin State changed from a weak Qin to a strong Qin. The Qin State was finally able to sweep away and unify the six countries, and the Shang Dynasty changed the law of course. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Gongchen paused twice, then suddenly changed his words, raised his voice an octave, and continued: "However, the minister thinks that what Fan Xiwen wrote above the chapter is that in the joint school of Sanwu Village, men and women are required to be enrolled, and those who are under the age of 20 are those who have not left the court, and the ratio of men to women is three to one.

"Men and women do not give and receive kisses, there has been a rule since ancient times, how can they be changed at will. If men and women are allowed to live in the same room, wouldn't it be immoral? What's more, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and a woman's virtue does not lie in how much she reads, but in her self-guarding like jade before she leaves the cabinet; After leaving the cabinet, the husband and the child; If Langjun dies early, he must be a chaste martyr, which is an exemplary virtue for women.

"Moreover, in the three or five villages, the establishment of schools, looking at the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, hired thousands of teachers. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a school, but how can it be done in three or five days? Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, it is impossible to run schools in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, especially for men and women who can sign up for study. ”

Regarding Ouyang Xiu's self-run "women's school" at home, recruiting more than a dozen daughters of ministers who have a very good relationship with Ouyang Xiu in private, the civil and military affairs of the court are all known, Wang Gongchen and Ouyang Xiu are brothers-in-law, so naturally they also know about it, so they take advantage of this opportunity to play a role here.

It's just that only a few people know about the "women's school" opened by Ouyang Xiu's house, and the people who know about it among the ministers of the court and the central government are Ouyang Xiu himself, as well as Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng, as well as Yan Shu, and there is no one else.

In the face of Wang Gongchen's sneering and sarcasm, Ouyang Xiu naturally couldn't bear it, but as soon as Wang Gongchen's voice fell, Ouyang Xiu immediately stood out of the queue and sneered at Wang Gongchen: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Wang Gongchen said just now is biased.

"Fan Gong proposed in the recital that the three or five villages jointly set up a school, which can be recruited by both men and women, which is actually to improve the cultural level and knowledge of the people of the Great Song Dynasty." The old rule that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented is no longer out of date.

"Take the eldest lady (Liu E) who has passed away, and Cao Shengren, who is now in his prime, both of them are my model and model of women in the Great Song Dynasty. The eldest lady and Cao Shengren, as my model of women in the Great Song Dynasty, have been mothers in the world and set an example for women in the world.

"I'm a folk woman in the Song Dynasty, and I can read and break words, so why not? Forgive the offense and bluntly said, let me ask, wasn't the eldest lady also a folk woman before entering the palace? If I am a woman in the Song Dynasty, it is common to read, and she can recite poems and articles, and she will play a greater role in teaching her husband and children. It is under the careful teaching of the eldest lady that His Majesty has become the king of my Great Song Dynasty, which is the best example.

"As for men and women sharing the same room, it is immoral. The minister thought that in the future, the school set up by the imperial court could be set up in the school, and the boys' school and the girl's school could be set up in the school, and it would not be difficult to solve the problem by separating the boys and girls who entered the school. What's more, in the school, all the books of the sages are saged, and enlightenment and education are all the ways of gentlemen, even if men and women are in the same school, what does it matter? ”

At this point, Ouyang Xiu paused for a few moments, and after calming down, the conversation suddenly changed, his voice raised an octave, and he continued to speak: "However, Xiao Chen should not be in a hurry about what Fan Gong said in the chapter that he should try his best to pursue and realize equal rights between men and women. According to Xiao Chen's understanding, the content of the reform in this regard was written by Wang Sicheng of the Street Division, who was young and vigorous, and had wonderful ideas, and should be commended.

"However, if the reform is carried out drastically and the new law is implemented in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, the shocking content mentioned by Wang Sicheng cannot be listened to in its entirety, and the feasible content should be implemented as soon as possible after weighing the pros and cons. As for the content that is too novel, the implementation should be suspended. The above is the opinion of the minister, and I hope that His Majesty will make it clear. ”

What Wang Gongchen never expected was that Ouyang Xiu first refuted him impassionedly in front of a group of courtiers and Zhao Guan's family, and finally said that the above content was not mentioned by him but by someone else, and this person was still a street priest from the eight-grade sesame mung bean Wang Hao, which couldn't help but make him feel very gloomy.

When Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, Wang Gongchen, who was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, did not wait for Ouyang Xiu to withdraw from the class and join the ranks, he took the wat out of the ranks, and continued to attack the establishment of a school that can be studied by both men and women mentioned in Fan Zhongyan's recital, and sneered: "What Ouyang Xiu said about the establishment of a school was actually mentioned by a small street Si Sicheng and used by Fan Xiwen, which is really a big joke in the world.

"If this matter is mentioned by Ouyang Xiu, one of the standard-bearers of my Great Song Dynasty literary circle, although my Wang is dissatisfied, it is still acceptable. However, this matter was raised by a petty official from the eighth grade. Besides, this person was born in the army, and he didn't know a few words in Douda, but he proposed to run a school, which was difficult for my Wang to accept. Wang felt that many of the people present probably had the same idea as Wang. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Gongchen's words fell, there were seven or eight ministers of the court above the fifth grade, who echoed what Wang Gongchen said, and naturally made some contempt and ridicule to Wang Hao, who served as the secretary of the street.

Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was originally sitting in the hall, heard that seven or eight court ministers headed by Wang Gongchen had a vicious attack on Wang Hao, who he admired quite a lot, and he was very uncomfortable.

This is not the second, what makes Song Renzong Zhao Zhen even more sad is that he initially had high hopes for the content of the new reform policy listed in Fan Zhongyan's recital, which made him feel a sense of despair.

Although Song Renzong Zhao Zhen wanted to refute Wang Gongchen and others, he couldn't find a defensible argument, after all, Wang Hao was indeed a small official from the eighth grade, and he was born in the army.

After a while, when Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen didn't know how to end the game next, Ouyang Xiu, who had just had a spring fragrance tongue battle with Wang Gongchen, once again stood out of the ranks......
