Editing history: the opening inventory of the top ten emperors

Her mother passed away.

It's a pity that I can't see Fan Zhongyan's achievements later.

And because of this incident, Fan Zhongyan chose to return to his hometown to mourn for her mother.

three years.

For a person, it cannot be regarded as a long time.

But for Fan Zhongyan, he was still doing another thing in the past few years when he was keeping filial piety for his mother.

Teach and educate people.

This was a pretty good thing. At that time, Yan Shu invited Fan Zhongyan to Yingtian Academy and became a teacher.

As for teaching and educating people, Fan Zhongyan has never done it before.

But it doesn't hinder him. In this matter, he also did a good job.

Diligently inspecting studies, teaching by example, creating current affairs and political discourses, whenever discussing major issues in the world, he was always desperate and generous. At that time, the literati and bureaucrats corrected the world, strictly disciplined themselves, and advocated moral integrity. It was initiated by Fan Zhongyan, and the style of study in the academy also took on a new look. , Fan Zhongyan's reputation is growing day by day.

Therefore, a talented person can often shine his own light everywhere.

Of course, there are exceptions for those who are quite partial.

After teaching for three years, the days of keeping filial piety are finally over.

So in the second year, Fan Zhongyan tried to write a letter, stating his ambitions and his views on the court at that time.

Yan Shu himself admired Fan Zhongyan very much.

Therefore, after the funeral was completed, Fan Zhongyan was naturally highly recommended, hoping that Fan Zhongyan could enter Beijing and do something bigger.

Even face the saint in person, just to state Fan Zhongyan's previous achievements.

So in December of this year.

Fan Zhongyan was able to return to Bianliang again, and this time he was a small official again, responsible for sorting out the royal classics.

Quite boring.

But Fan Zhongyan himself took the world's major events as his own responsibility, and he took everything into consideration.

There was a very serious matter.

This incident can almost be said to have happened to all young emperors.

For example, Lu Zhi and Wu Meiniang back then, and a little bit earlier, even when the First Emperor ascended the throne.

Also faced this problem.

The Queen Mother is in power.

Although there have been regulations in all dynasties, after the emperor becomes an adult, the queen mother should naturally hand over the power to him.

But entitlement is so alluring.

Who will let go easily?
At that time, the Empress Dowager had a lot of power, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hardly dared to say a word about her.

It coincides with the Empress Dowager's birthday, and a birthday ceremony is going to be held in Huiqing Hall.

This matter can be big or small.

On a bigger scale, the birthday of an empress dowager is very precious, but the harem can hold banquets, so there are many places to celebrate birthdays.

Why is it in Huiqing Hall?
The Hall of Huiqing is the place where civil and military officials do their work.

So on a larger scale, it is to confuse family law and national law.

As for the younger ones, she is the empress dowager, and the emperor is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?
Isn't the emperor in a hurry?

The emperor is in a hurry!
But no one spoke up for him.

So, Fan Zhongyan said.

The emperor had the way to serve his parents, but he didn't have the etiquette of being a minister; if he wanted to be filial, he could just practice family etiquette in the inner palace.Shangshu Zou reported to the inner court, but did not get a reply.

Fan Zhongyan wrote to the Queen Mother again, requesting the return of Emperor Renzong.Played the book and entered the palace, but disappeared again.

A very upright person.

Fan Zhongyan didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach.

But Yan Shu at that time was really terrified.

He is Fan Zhongyan's recommender, and Fan Zhongyan did such a thing
Wouldn't that implicate him?
So he was scared, and by the way he reprimanded Fan Zhongyan.

However, Fan Zhongyan listened to his reprimand, and just spoke lightly.

"Serving the emperor should be dangerous words and deeds, and you will never be condescending or flattering. For things that are beneficial to the court and the country, you must speak uprightly, even if there is a disaster of death."

Well said.

So then, he was demoted.

I was relegated to a small place and served as a simple general judge. In the second year, I changed another position and was still a general judge.

But as Fan Zhongyan himself once said.

If you live high in the temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler.

He went to the memorial many times to state his ideas.

But it's a pity that the queen mother will not talk to him when she is in power.

So this kind of day, it is three years.

three years later.

The good news finally came.

The Queen Mother is dead.

Renzong was in charge.

Renzong always remembered Fan Zhongyan.

But to say that it is very important now, it may not be.

He just gave Fan Zhongyan a Right Secretary. This position is nothing more than to criticize and speak out against the imperial court's policies.

General position.

At this time, it is time for liquidation. If the empress dowager has controlled the government for so long, is it still reasonable if it is not liquidated?
But Fan Zhongyan stood up again at this time and said.

Back then, even though the Empress Dowager controlled the government, her merits and demerits to the world were equal. As for the liquidation, there was no need for it.

No one understands, not even those old oily people in officialdom understand very well.

Why did Fan Zhongyan speak for the Queen Mother?

Didn't the queen mother demote him at that time?

For Fan Zhongyan, it doesn't matter who demotes whom, nor does it matter the so-called hatred and position between the two parties.

If you have to talk about positions, then for Fan Zhongyan, there is only one position, and that is the whole country.

Renzong's personality is needless to say, otherwise he would not have the posthumous title Ren.

He accepted what Fan Zhongyan said.

So the queen mother's matter was directly turned over.

What followed was the severe drought in the Jianghuai River, and Renzong only started to govern it under Fan Zhongyan's advice.

Things seemed to come together all of a sudden.

Because another thing happened to Renzong later, he wanted to abolish the empress.

No matter how you look at this matter, it is not in line with etiquette.

Song Renzong knew what Fan Zhongyan was going to say, so he took the lead and asked Fan Zhongyan to be a prefect elsewhere.

It means, go to other places and don't bother me.

But Fan Zhongyan didn't think so, he should speak up as well.

In this way, Fan Zhongyan, who is upright and upright, has naturally become a benchmark in the hearts of many people.

As for the scrapping thing.

Naturally, nothing happened.

In office, Fan Zhongyan began to do what he should do.

Many actually don't need too much evaluation.

Because he did a great job.

"The clouds and mountains are green, the rivers are magnificent, the wind of the gentleman, the mountains are high and the waters are long."

These words were written by Fan Zhongyan at that time.

Very streamlined, but unexpectedly, very good.

Half a year, just stayed here for half a year.

Fan Zhongyan then went to Suzhou to control the water.

He made great achievements in water control. In the second year, Fan Zhongyan returned to the capital again.

He made meritorious service and became the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture.
