As the Spring Festival is getting closer, according to convention, all officials have to count their official duties for a year. After the New Year, all the yamen will have nothing serious. For example, the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College, there are only chats, fucking, and bragging.

But this year is destined to be uneasy.

Scholars from all walks of life went to Beijing to take the exam, which was an excellent opportunity to take the opportunity to publicize theories, establish a mountain, and win over the forces.

Although Long Changqi suffered a severe blow, he was unwilling to fail. The old guy actively counterattacked and used his disciples to give lectures everywhere, hold literary meetings, and personally came to the forum to tell knowledge.

With this old prestige, he naturally responded to it with all kinds of enthusiasm and was very enthusiastic.

In addition to Longchangqi, Ercheng and Zhang Zai also actively engaged in activities. Luoyang is their base camp. It has been in operation for many years and is strong. It often goes to the forum to give lectures, winning over a group of believers and fighting against Longchangqi.

Correspondingly, the Six Arts School should also take action.

However, during this period, Liuyi has not been able to move, which disappoints many people.

But it is not surprising that those who know the inside story are mostly half of the famous teachers in Liuyi hold official positions in the court and cannot be idle. Fan Zhongyan is qualified to go to the forum to give lectures, but his old husband is in poor health and has suffered from asthma. He can only recuperate at home in a cold weather.

Everyone is waiting for Ouyang Xiu, the founder of Six Arts and the leader of the literary world. Almost everyone is looking forward to Ouyang Xiu's official lecture, and he will definitely set a record.

Sure enough, just as everyone was looking forward to it, Ouyang Xiu rushed from Youzhou to Xijing.

When he arrived in Luoyang, he was summoned by Zhao Zhen. The king and his ministers had been talking for two hours. When Ouyang Xiu came out, Zhao Zhen actually gave him a lesson in person, reluctant to leave. Obviously, the king and his ministers had a deep affection and friendship, which was unusual.

Soon, a legend came out that Zhao Zhen asked Ouyang Xiu to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

This is even more amazing. How many people study hard in the toad palace and aren’t they looking forward to winning the glory of the world?

In an era when an article determines one's life, it is crucial to consider your preferences.

Articles, poems, and preferred jokes about Ouyang Xiu were circulated everywhere, and people gathered into booklets and sold at high prices, and scholars flocked to them.

Just in the joyful and lively atmosphere, the New Year is approaching, and all officials are going to enter the palace to greet Zhao Zhen in advance. Wang Ning'an is no exception. He packed up early in the morning and went straight to Xuande Gate.

I am used to being a teacher at home, so Wang Ning'an came a little late. When he arrived, almost everyone came.

Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Yu Jing, Tang Jie, Bao Zheng got together, and the other ministers and important officials got together, chatting casually, with smiles on their faces. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and no one would say anything disappointing.

Just in this harmonious atmosphere, a guy suddenly rushed to Ouyang Xiu.

"Isn't this a drunk man? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still recognize you?"

Ouyang Xiu glanced at it and frowned, "Sir Qian Ai Qian, you are not in Hangzhou, why are you here in Xijing?"

"Good question!"

The visitor laughed loudly, "I received the will of the emperor and gave a censor to correct the king's way and supervise all officials. Whether it is a prime minister or a minor official, I will enforce the law impartially and never show favoritism!"

Qian Nuan's tone was threatening, Ouyang Xiu was not afraid at all, he laughed twice.

"Mr. Qian enforces the law impartially, so I naturally welcome you. But I also ask you to buy a mirror."

Qian Nuan's face turned dark and she said angrily: "Do you want to say that I want to look in the mirror and reflect on myself?"

"Yes, don't just see pig black, and don't see yourself black!"

"You, you are the crow!" Qian Nuan was furious and roared: "Ouyang Xiu, apologize to me!"

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry for the crow. I shouldn't let the crow be wronged!" Ouyang Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "You're satisfied!"

"Okay, Ouyang Xiu, sharp-tongued! Remember, don't fall into my hands!" Qian Nuanqi hummed and shook his sleeves and left. At this time, the palace gate opened and all officials entered, and the conflict between the two came to an end.

It is absolutely rare for two important officials of the imperial court to fight, but others are used to it, as if these two were born like this, and there is no strangeness at all.

When Wang Ning'an was curious, he quietly asked Yu Jing, and then he understood the reason... Qian Ai was not an ordinary person. His grandfather was Qian Chu, the last king of Wu Yue Kingdom!

When Qian Chu succeeded to the king, the Song Dynasty had already formed a force to unify the world. Wu and Yue paid tribute and surrendered, and helped destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Qian Chu then surrendered to the Song Dynasty and was enthroned as King Deng.

As a king who has lost his country, it is already very good to be treated like this.

Qian Chu's son Qian Weiyan also had a smooth career and was in a high position. He was passed down to Qian Ai and was also a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty! It was so prominent that it was no wonder that the Qian family was ranked second, second only to the Lao Zhao family.

So how did Ouyang Xiu make enemies with the Qian family?

This matter is a long story. Ouyang Xiu initially had a good relationship with the Qian family. Qian Weiyan visited several times and sang poems with Ouyang Xiu. At that time, Ouyang Xiu was still very young and respected Qian Weiyan very much.

But later Ouyang Xiu got an errand, which was to compile the "History of the Five Dynasties".

Whenever the dynasty changes, the previous dynasty has to be compiled. One is to make a final conclusion, and the other is to find legitimacy for the establishment of this dynasty... Ouyang Xiu is knowledgeable and famous, so he should be the subject of history.

He did everything according to common sense, but suddenly, Qian Weiyan found Ouyang Xiu and asked him to practice the part about Wu Yue Kingdom, and say a few more beautiful words to the ancestors of the Qian family.

Ouyang Xiu did not agree at the time. The reason was very simple. If the Qian family had no problems and were the wise and powerful emperor, then why did Zhao Song destroy Wu Yue? Isn’t this a contradiction?

He Ouyang Xiu received the salary from the Zhao family, not the salary from your Qian family.

After Ouyang Xiu pondered, he still insisted on his opinion and did not apply rouge to the Qian family... This annoyed Qian Weiyan. He used his power to wear Ouyang Xiu's small shoes several times, which made it very unpleasant.

Later, Ouyang Xiu was angry and impeached Qian Weiyan and drove him out of the court. Qian Weiyan died of depression.

At this moment, the Qian family and Ouyang Xiu’s revenge was settled!

First, he slandered our ancestors, and then killed my father!

It would be strange if Qian Nuan could have a good face.

But Ouyang Xiu also has a lot of truth. I act according to the rules and have a clear conscience. Your father framed me and was impeached by himself.

During the Qingli period, Qian Nuan attacked the New Policy because of personal grudges and was driven to Hangzhou. After so many years, Qian Nuan made a comeback and was full of momentum. It seemed that she was going to trouble Ouyang Xiu.

...

"Drunk, as the saying goes, a thief will get three points into the bones. I don't think Qian Nuan is like a good person, so you should be careful." Wang Ning'an took advantage of the opportunity to give the banquet and sat next to the old master and reminded him carefully.

The old master was very careless, "How many years of Chen Zhimao, how can their Qian family treat me? Besides, aren't you, Wang Erlang, escort me? I'm fearless!"

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Erlang, let alone the Qian family, we will talk about our major events. I have made a very important discovery."

"Oh, what's the point of Drunk Man?"

"Erlang, tell you, when I was building Youzhou City, I discovered some bamboo slips, which were left by Yan State."

Wang Ning'an was happy and exclaimed: "That's a baby, have you discovered something?"

"I found it was too big, and the above actually said that Shun imprisoned Yao."

When Ouyang Xiu saw the bamboo slips for the first time, his heart was about to jump out.

You should know that in order to promote its own ideas, Confucianism carefully constructed an ideal country for the rule of three generations... Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Zhou Gong, these are the sages they admire most.

Especially Yao and Shun, they adopted the abdication system, selected virtuous people and competently, and achieved peaceful transfer of the throne. They did not stick to the personalities of a family and a surname, and were also the example of the sage kings of the eternal kings.

Even later generations of Confucians who mentioned wise kings would be called Yao and Shun.

However, Ouyang Xiu discovered the pre-Qin bamboo slips, which were not burned and had a very high credibility.

From the deciphered part, it was discovered that Yao and Shun did not abdicate at all, but seized power and usurped the throne... This strong shock was no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake!

In the past, the old master would rather close his eyes, block his ears, and pretend not to know. But since he accepted Wang Ning'an's idea of ​​seeking truth from facts, the old man felt that he should not deceive himself and had to face the facts.

"To improve Confucianism, we must fight for the right to speak. To fight for the right to speak, we must re-simplify the governance of the three generations... We cannot rely on imagination to study, but we must respect the facts. I remember that there is also a "Bamboo Annals" hidden in the palace. I am going to borrow it from Your Majesty, gather knowledgeable people to restore the three generations together, and break all falsehoods!"

In academic terms, Wang Ning'an was not strong, but at least he knew that the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were slave society, and he also used living people to bury them for their lives. How could he be the example of all dynasties? It was obvious that Confucians were perplexed and distorted history arbitrarily!

He supported Ouyang Xiu's idea very much. They were ready to wait for the congratulations before discussing carefully to see what to do next.

Wang Ning'an was thinking, and the eunuch Su Gui hurried to Wang Ning'an and whispered a few words. Wang Ning'an was immediately shocked and hurriedly followed Su Gui out of Daqing Palace and arrived at the school in the East Palace.

As soon as he appeared, the prince ran over. His face was pale and he grabbed Wang Ning'an's hand, looking very scared and angry.

He turned around, pointed at a life-long woman and accused loudly: "It was her, she hit the dog's teeth."

Wang Ning'an's face instantly became gloomy, as cold as a piece of iron.

He is a very short-lived person. Even if Long Changqi punishes the prince, he will stand up for the prince. What's more, a woman who doesn't know where she dares to touch her child! It's really hateful!

Wang Ning'an took a deep breath. He didn't even look at the woman and greeted Empress Cao directly.

Empress Cao was also extremely embarrassed at this time. She stood beside her, with a dog-toothed man standing with a tiger face, trying not to let tears flow out, but when his father appeared, he couldn't help crying. There was a clear slap on his white and tender little face.

Wang Ning'an was heartbroken inexplicably and tried his best to keep peace. He asked, "Empress, what mistake did the dog son make?"

Queen Cao did not speak, but pointed to the side. On the opposite side, there was a chubby boy with blood on his face, beaten like a pig's head, and had some footprints on his body. How miserable it would be, how miserable it would be, and was crying!

When the destiny saw Wang Ning'an, he immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Whose wild boy beat me like this? Is there any law of the Heavenly Li King?"

Wang Ning'an glanced at his son and asked softly: "Did you beat him?"

Gou Yaer stared at her eyes, nodded vigorously, and only spit out two words: "It's time to type!"

The little prince actually came over and plucked up the courage to say, "I beat him too, it's my fault."
