When Zhao Zhen heard Fan Zhongyan's explanation, he just smiled slightly.

Helplessly, Zhao Zhen dared not deny Fan Zhongyan's moral height...

After the ministers dispersed, Zheng Lang said tactfully: "Brother Xiwen, since the new policy, you have not mentioned the right or wrong, but your intentions are good, but your cliques must not be opened."

I knew I couldn't convince me, so I left after I said that.

In fact, Fan Zhongyan made a serious mistake, even if it is slightly denial or silent, it doesn't matter much. Speaking of pressure, the new policy has been increasingly strongly rebounded, which is an inevitable product. But at this time it was not what later generations explained for Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan. How many people attacked the new policy with the theory of cliques.

Wang Gongchen and Jia Changchao were watching the fun. The Shuiluo City made them laugh from ear to ear. Why bother to participate and let the gentlemen move the front line? Xia Shu moved from Bozhou to Daming Mansion, but did not return to the court. Even if he was humming below, his influence was not great. Lu Yijian stayed in the door, or a eunuch Lan Yuanzhen muttered a few words in the palace, but he was not able to say it yet.

Zhao Zhen said lightly in disappointment. As a king, he has done a good job.

Of course...

Fan Zhongyan committed suicide and publicly admitted that his friends had spread quickly. At that time, only a few bigwigs were present. Zheng Lang would not say it, and Du Yan and Han Qi would not say it either, especially Han Qi also made a disguise to protect him. Since ancient times, ministers in the court have been loyal and virtuous, evil, public, and private people, with different personalities, and they all have their own personalities.

Although they are similar to cliques, they are slightly different. It can be said that this sentence is a clique, or that this sentence is a gentleman but not a clique. Who doesn’t have many friends with similar personalities and like-minded people? Zheng Lang also has it.

Fu Bi didn't say that, Zhang Dexiang would continue to remain silent, and Yan Shu would not be sure, so Jia Changchao would naturally make a big splash.

Ouyang Xiu finally took action.

Since the boss publicly admits that he has a clique, then we should really be a clique.

In fact, this article was left with the writing style. It was written in nothing. After handing it over, the court was surprised, but no one made a sound. They were all circulating and said in private. Zheng Lang looked at it, sighed in his heart, thinking that there was no pressure, it was Ouyang Xiu who asked for it himself.

...

Dongfang Weiming, Zheng Lang washed up, packed his clothes and prepared for the morning court.

The most difficult part of being a minister is the morning court.

At this time, the weather is getting longer and it is not cold in the morning, so it is more convenient. If it is winter, it will get up at the fourth o'clock in the morning, and it will be cold and dark outside. However, the Song Dynasty also had to be better, and a courtyard was set up. It was even more painful during the Han and Tang Dynasties. You had to stand outside the palace and wait for the eunuchs to pass the orders and release them. You could enter the palace. Sometimes you could wait in the cold wind for half an hour, which would be even harder.

Jiang Xing'er carefully combed Zheng Lang's long hair. Cui Xian asked worriedly, "Official, have you really decided to do this?"

"You don't understand what bad consequences will Ouyang Xiu's memorial cause."

Later generations repeatedly explained Ouyang Xiu's reputation. In fact, later party struggles, Ouyang Xiu had to bear more than one-third of the responsibility. It was this fable theory that found a legal basis for the party struggle. It said that Yongzheng suppressed flirting theory, but another great wise king Fuzhi also said a passage. The rise of flirting began with a gentleman but ultimately was not as good as a villain. The harm was caused to the people of the clan society and the people, and it never ended. The Song Dynasty had this, and it flourished in Xifeng. The disputes were fought in Yuanyou Shaosheng, and the disasters were strong in Huizong's time, and it began with Jingyou's public disclosure.

Although Cui Xian was reluctant to do this, Zheng Lang was determined to do it. Cui Xian had to say: "Officials, speak more gently and give Ouyang Xiu some face. After all, they are a group of people now, and they will not only drag you into the water and be in peace. It is possible that they will attack you with articles, and your reputation in this life will be destroyed by them."

"I know, I regret it now. If I had known this, I would have been better off bringing him out of the court." Zheng Lang patted his head and said. With his strength, he could not defeat all gentlemen, but he could still aim his finger at Ouyang Xiu alone.

The sky gradually became brighter, and Zheng Lang said, "Xian'er, where am I going?"

Walk towards the palace.

The courtyard of Wai Lu was very quiet. In fact, Jia Changchao and Wang Gongchen both smelled a good opportunity, but they did not have an attack. Although it was quiet, you could feel the unusual atmosphere in the courtyard of Wai Lu.

The morning court began, and the ministers finished their work and were about to announce the dispersion of the court, Zheng Lang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Ouyang Xiu has handed a memorial to the argument."

"No," Zhao Zhen's tone was plain, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Zheng Lang suddenly changed his mind and said, "I have also made some contributions to the court."

All the ministers were stunned.

"Especially in recent years, the green horse that Empress Dowager Zhang Xian gave me has been sent to me since the south of the Yangtze River. After arriving in the northwest, Zaichen inspected the terrain and personally visited the front line to command him, asking His Majesty to give him an official position in this horse."

Wang Gongchen was very clever and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I impeach Zheng Lang regardless of importance. I made such an unreasonable request, which is an insult to the court."

"Wang Gongchen, why can't it?"

“It’s a livestock.”

"That's true, this is my fault. It is ultimately a livestock for human control, so how can it be granted an official? This is the difference between humans and livestock, no matter how much the horse plays, but I can't understand, if a gentleman forms a party, it is not a party? Or because his horse makes military achievements, it is not a horse?"

Ouyang Xiu finally couldn't hold it up and stood up and said, "Zheng Lang, what is the difference between a gentleman and a villain? I made it clear in that memorial, you might as well read it carefully."

"I have seen that when you were Yao, you said that four villains work together as one friend, and the gentleman eight Yuan and eight Kai were one friend. The ancient affairs were far away. Maybe they were wise ministers, but I don't believe they would become friends. Otherwise, the Master would respect the Yao and Shun era, and believed that the world was a model for generations. He also said that gentlemen were group but not party, gentlemen were comparing but not comparing, and villains were comparing but not comparing. I believe that if there were such a large-scale clique, the Master would not like it, either correct or oppose it. If it was the fact, the Master would respect the Yao and Shun era, and would not say that gentlemen would not be group but not party. Then he said that the friends would compare with Zhou, and he would use the circle to think that it was a private example. Although the Lord was good at learning, I don't believe that your knowledge would surpass the Master and Xunzi."

This is a proposition. Either defeat Confucius or Confucianism?

"There are three thousand ministers in Zhou, only one heart. The original words come from the Shangshu. Zhou has hundreds of millions of ministers, only hundreds of millions of hearts, and three thousand ministers. Only one heart, three thousand means more. However, their whole heart is not to make friends, but to unite and help the king govern the country, not to be one heart-to-hearted in the party and fight against the differences and suppress dissidents. Since I talk about Shangshu, then let me ask you, Hong Fan said that there is no bias and no party, the king's way is shady, no party, and the king's way is mediocre, have you not read the king's talent and knowledge? As for when the party shackles at the end of the Eastern Governance, please read the history books again. The harm of the two parties of Niu and Li in the Tang Dynasty, everyone is in danger. Don't you see it, just say that Zhu Wen's white horse disaster. But have you ever thought that Zhu Wen killed not only Qingliu, but also the aristocratic family, I also came from the Zheng family in Xingyang, which was the aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty."

Zhao Zhen smiled. Not only did Zheng Lang come from the Zheng family in Xingyang, but his wife also came from another stronger family, the Cui family.

"The troubles of the family are really gone? It is because the family and the tyrants seize too many resources and do not know how to advance and retreat, and the people are in poverty, so the Huang Chao thieves rose up. The people in the world were suffering. Why do several lords in my dynasty have repeatedly said that taking care of the poor and young people will give the poor people a chance and alleviate the pressure of the country, so that there will be no major riots. With the soldiers, the imperial examination system of the famous imperial examination system, and the charity education of various places. If these clear streams are still there, I can still study the imperial examination system. I wonder if you have any chance to enter the court for the imperial examination?"

This article may be very excited, and all the arguments were wrong, which made Zheng Lang seize the opportunity. All the arguments were overturned, and most of the article was destroyed.

"Besides, Zhu Wen killed only Qingliu and only a clan. What does it have to do with his clans? To prove your statement, you have changed the wrongs and deceived the world. Maybe you are kind-hearted, but Ouyang Xiu, do you know what this article will bring?"

"What are you bringing?" It was not asked by Ouyang Xiu, but by Jia Changchao.

"What is a gentleman? Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, kindness, kindness, kindness, kindness, kindness, and thrift. I also want to be a gentleman, but I can guess how far away it is from a gentleman? Even Fan Zhongyan is very close to a gentleman, and gentleness is slightly worse. You all claim to be gentlemen, but how many are real gentlemen? A gentleman is like you, fighting to the death for a small Shuiluo City? Han Qi said that Yin Zhu is a gentleman, but you say that Yin Zhu is not good. You said that Zheng Jian did the right thing, but Yin Zhu said that Zheng Jian is a Jian generation, a villain. You yourself have not even figured out why, how dare you call yourself a gentleman?"

"The Master said that I have never been able to teach you if you are more than me. Just give me a piece of meat to express my sincerity in learning, so the Master taught him knowledge. He also said that there is no difference in teaching. This is a kind of tolerance. There is something bigger than the country. How can it be bigger without tolerance? You hurriedly divided the ministers in the court into two factions and attacked each other. Is there a big deal of tolerance? There is no difference in teaching?"

Zheng Lang turned his head and looked at Zhao Zhen again and said, "Your Majesty, I am worried that once the friends are together, it is because they tend to be different and similar. Those who are the same are called righteous people, and those who are different are called evil parties. If you hate the different self, then your rebellious words will be difficult to advance. If you like the same self, your flattery and obedient words will be in harmony. In the end, no one knows the truth or falsehood. If the wise and foolish people are reversed, they will eventually cause great trouble to the country. Please think twice."

First refute the arguments of the franchises, and then talk about the consequences of the franchises.

Zheng Lang was somewhat influenced by later generations, thinking that although Ouyang Xiu was a nonsense, he was still a half gentleman in general. Otherwise, he would denounce him as a real evil, villain, witch-spoken people, and left behind for thousands of years! That's it, a large group of gentlemen could not stand, Yu Jing stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Zheng Lang has lost the court ceremony."

The court meeting can report or discuss matters, but it cannot attack or argue. Zheng Lang did violate the court ceremony. However, Fan Zhongyan's eyebrows were frowning, and Ouyang Xiu felt that something was wrong when he came to the clique, so Zheng Lang took action, which was reasonable.

I had talked with Zheng Lang many times and knew that Zheng Lang hated his friends the most, but I didn’t know the hatred he had. I said lightly, but Ouyang Xiu made a long speech. How could something happen?

Zheng Lang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Jing is right. I have lost the court etiquette and intentionally violated the court etiquette. The reason for this is that the party has suffered endless harms. Once this example begins, the party will fight against the differences after the Song Dynasty and will not be at peace. Even if the Master is alive, Yan Huisheng, Zhang Liang, Xiao Hefang, Du Yaotang gathers together in our court, and they will not want to govern the country well. There is no other way. In the future, two factions or several factions will be formed, and overthrowed in order to suppress the other side, overthrow it, overthrow it, overthrow it, and overthrow it. In this case, can any good governance be done well? Even if there is good good governance, it will be overthrown quickly. Can the Song Dynasty continue for a long time? Yes, I violate the court etiquette, please give up my position and be vigilant. However, Yu Jing, even if I lose the position, as long as I don’t set a precedent for the party, it is worth it."

When I exchanged a prime minister for Ouyang Xiu's article, the entire hall was silent.
