Pu Yi's proposal made the whole court confused. In addition to writing a letter, Ouyang Bian conscientiously continued to perform his duties as a daily official.

His appointment and removal throne was stuck in the Tongjin Yintai Division. Ouyang Xiu told him at home that he would do his own thing with peace of mind, which touched Ouyang Bian quite touched.

I can do it at home.

Ouyang Bian knew the role Ouyang Xiu played in Puyi's proposal in history, and was even more grateful to his father's love.

It turns out that in Puyi's argument in history, Ouyang Xiu was the most powerful theorist of the Huangkao School. He kept writing articles to debate with Sima Guang and others, almost fighting against the Huangbo School alone.

But this time, he gave up his own position for himself and stood on his own side. Not only did he not speak out about Pu Yi's proposal, but he even did not hesitate to confront Han Qi to protect himself.

In this regard, Ouyang Xiu is already on the side of the Huangbo Sect.

Because of Ouyang Xiu's change of position, the Political Affairs Hall could no longer support it. Seeing that the Emperor's Sect was about to win, Empress Dowager Cao, who had already faded in people's eyes, suddenly issued Empress Dowager Cao's handwritten letter.

The edict said:

"I heard from my ministers that I asked the emperor to confer the title of King Chongpu Anyi, but it has not yet been implemented.

I read the history again and then I know my own stories.

King Pu'an Yi, the wife of Qiao, the wife of the Grandpa of Xiang, and the Jun Ren of Xianyou County, can be called "relative" by the emperor;

He still respects King Pu'anyi as Emperor Pu'anyi, Qiao State, Xiang State, and Xianyou together called him the queen."

The general meaning of this handwritten book is - I support the Imperial College.

At this time, this handwritten book was like a thunderclap, knocking the Huangbo Sect to the point of being dizzy.

How could Empress Dowager Cao support the Imperial Examination?

You know, Empress Dowager Cao's previous attitude towards Pu Yi's discussion was not like this. Although he did not strongly oppose it, he had a clear attitude. Why did he suddenly support the imperial examination?

The sudden change in Empress Dowager Cao's attitude made the court officials shocked and confused.

It is said that the empress dowager's handwriting was not based on its original intention, but was written by Han Qi, who had a simple relationship with the eunuch Su Lizhi, and was confused by the empress dowager.

Sima Guang, Lu Hui, Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang and others wrote letters, believing that the prime minister had used the empress dowager's order to pretend to be wrong, so they asked the empress dowager to take back the edict.

As a daily negotiator, Ouyang Bian has the right to read these memorials.

In the memorials, everyone was angry and angry, and they even slandered people's personal morality and insulted their personality.

In fact, it has deviated from the subject of dispute and turned into an unreasonable struggle for intention.

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but sigh that the political atmosphere formed by the Jiayou administration had quietly changed.

Reason has been replaced by the struggle for will.

With the support of the empress dowager's handwritten letter, Zhao Shu became confident, but he did not dare to directly chase the title. Instead, he issued a hypocritical edict and humble edict, saying that he was not respected and only called "kind". He then built a temple in the garden and appointed Prince Zongpu as Duke of Pu, serving as the temple affairs. He also ordered his subjects to avoid the taboo of the king.

It seems quite reasonable, but it has exceeded the grief that a prince can bear. The next step is probably Zhao Shu will be the emperor of his own father.

Lu Hui and others naturally didn't want to see such a thing.

In fact, since Zhao Shu came to power, the censors were quite frustrated.

As a supervision system, the censors of the Northern Song Dynasty have always played an important role in court affairs, especially for the past 30 years, the remarks of the censors have been highly valued by the rulers.

Since Zhao Shu came to power, most of the other memorials of the censors have not been adopted by Emperor Yingzong.

Most of the memorials submitted by the censors were kept and no instructions were given.

Compared with the past, the censors today have to make the censors complain. This time they directly ignored them, which made Lu Hui and others feel insulted, so they resolutely resigned from their post as censors and waited for punishment at home.

Zhao Shu tried to keep him many times, but Lu Hui and others refused to accept the refusal and said that they were unable to match the situation with the prime minister.

There is no way, so I have to seek opinions from the rule.

Han Qi replied: "The Censor thinks it is difficult to establish the truth. If the ministers and others are guilty, they should be kept in the Censor."

Ouyang Xiu also said: "The censor thinks it is difficult to establish the principles. If the ministers and others are guilty, they should be kept in the censor."

The two of them seem to have the same opinion, but the inside is completely different.

Han Qi's answer expressed his attitude - they thought it was incompatible with me, and I was incompatible with them. With them, but I did not have them, you can do it.

Ouyang Xiu's answer also expressed his opinion - Yes, leave the censor!

Zhao Shu was very hesitant.

The Political Affairs Hall has been split, and Ouyang Xiu and the censors reached an agreement this time. To a certain extent, although Han Qi finally achieved the task, he lost support.

Therefore, Zhao Shu’s decision was to stay Han Qi.

So, Lu Hui was appointed as the governor of Qizhou, Fan Chunren was appointed as the governor of Anzhou, and Lu Dafang was appointed as the governor of Xiuning County, Shezhou.

It happened that Zhao Ding, Zhao Zhan, and Fu Yaoyu went on an envoy to Khitan to return to Bianjing. After hearing this, he also submitted a memorial to request the same demotion, because they were all supporters of the censors before.

So, Zhao Ding and magistrate Zizhou, Zhao Zhan and magistrate Fenzhou, Fu Yao and Yu magistrate Hezhou.

Ouyang Bian was quite moved when he saw this.

Sure enough, people may betray their own class, but they will not betray their own class interests.

Normally, Han Qi is already on the target of public criticism, because even Ouyang Xiu is opposing Han Qi. At this time, Zhao Shu should put Han Qi out of office. This is the best way to deal with it. At most, it is to recall Han Qi after a while.

But Zhao Shu was unwilling to do so. If Han Qi was demoted, wouldn’t it mean that the result of Pu Yi’s proposal was wrong?

Therefore, Han Qi cannot leave, and what he wants to leave must be the censors who oppose the result.

This is in Zhao Shu's interests.

Ouyang Bian was quite helpless about this.

He asked for leave for several days, one for protesting and the other for farewell.

So, Ouyang Bian ushered in his creative peak.

On February 24, the third year of Zhiping, I bid farewell to Lu Hui, so I came up with "Sending Lu Xian to Know Qizhou";

On February 25, the third year of Zhiping, he bid farewell to Fan Chunren, so he came up with "Sending Fan Yaofu to Tongzong Anzhou";

On February 26, the third year of Zhiping, he bid farewell to Lu Dafang, so he came to "Send Lu Weizhong to the magistrate of Xiuning County, Shezhou";

...

These poems do not need to be copied. Ouyang Bian's literary literacy is now quite good. Under the influence of Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Su's father and son, logician, even if it is a dog, it should be learned, let alone a smart person as smart as Ouyang Bian.

This time, Pu Yizhi's proposal was involved and felt the cruelty of politics and had a personal experience. Therefore, although the poems he wrote cannot be said to be masterpieces of eternal times, the deep feelings can be felt.

Pu Yi's proposal failed, but it was not a failure for Ouyang Bian. He received high respect from censors such as Sima Guang, Lu Dafang, and Lu Hui, and Ouyang Xiu did not become a thorn in their eyes. In this way, Ouyang Bian actually made a big profit.

According to history, after Zhao Shu's death, Ouyang Xiu would stand by Zhao Shu's side firmly in the opinion of Pu Yi, and would become a thorn in the eyes of the censor. Once Zhao Shu died, the Shenzong Zhao Xu ascended the throne, and then he would come.

Zhao Xu actually disagrees with his father Zhao Shu's approach, and even feels shameful.

So he corrected it as soon as he came up.

Although the exiled Ouyang Xiu and the removal of Han Qi meant that one emperor and another minister were the main idea, it was actually based on Pu Yi's proposal.

What Ouyang Bian does now not only help Ouyang Xiu get rid of this guilt, but may even be appreciated by Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu.

This is one of them.

The second is Ouyang Bian himself.

Lu Hui and Lu Dafang, these censors, were the most active censors in Xifeng's reform, and they occupied an important position in the next ten years.

Now these people have a deep comrade-in-arms relationship with Ouyang Bian, and they have regarded Ouyang Bian as one of them.

Ouyang Bian was also born in the Censorate, and he was also the iron-strong censor in his later years. During the Puyi discussion, Ouyang Bian became the spiritual leader of the Huangbo School with a book "The Spirit of Discussion on the Law". Therefore, in their opinion, Ouyang Bian was one of their iron-strong censors!

But Ouyang Bian is not happy.

Because after all, he did not defend this line of defense for Zhao Zhen.
