When the three Ouyang Fa brothers were different, Ouyang Xiu sighed.

"Little monk, four brothers, you will definitely go the farthest in your career in the future. Dad wants to ask you, what do you think is the most important thing in a person's life?"

The old father Ouyang Xiu was still thinking about leaving some advice to his dear son when he was dying.

Ouyang Bian was in a state of confusion. At this time, he could not think of anything else and shook his head in a daze.

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Grass, trees, birds and beasts are things, and people are human beings. Although their lives are different, they are the same when they die. They will be corrupt and destroyed, and will be destroyed.

Among all the people, there are sages who die and immortal, and they survive beyond the distance.

The reason why he is a sage, cultivates himself, gives him to his affairs, and sees him in words is that the three things can be immortal and exist."

Ouyang Bian chewed it secretly, and made some verification of these words with Ouyang Xiu's life, with a smile on his face.

What Ouyang Xiu said is that life is like a long life, and plants and trees will never be able to die in the end. Only sages can rely on morality, achievements and articles to be put to future generations, and die without death.

Although he did not dare to regard himself as a sage, the ancient Confucian saying "three immortals" of "establishing morality, establishing meritoriousness, and establishing words" made him integrate the perfection of his own moral personality, the completion of social responsibility and the establishment of cultural creation as his life goals.

What Ouyang Xiu told Ouyang Bian was that looking back on his life, he was calm and without regrets. In the sixty-six years of long and short life, he had done his best and did not waste his life.

So at this time his mood was extremely calm and satisfied. After he died, Ouyang Bian should not be sad because he said nothing about regret.

When Ouyang Xiu saw Ouyang Bian's smile, he knew that his youngest son had already known his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Go and help my father get paper and pen."

Ouyang Bian quickly brought paper and pen. Ouyang Xiu lay on the bed with difficulty and wrote: "The cold rain swells and the scooping ponds, and people are lonely when they leave. Only the flowers in front of the frost, fresh to the shelves."

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but tears flowed again.

The coldness of this poem made him feel desolate.

Ouyang Xiu was panting and flipped back with the help of his sons.

Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Bian said: "Han Gong knows me all his life, and he knows everything about his advance and retreat. After I die, please ask Mr. Han to write an epitaph for me."

Ouyang Bian looked at Ouyang Xiu in surprise, and Ouyang Xiu also looked at Ouyang Bian, his turbid eyes full of expectations.

Ouyang Bian persisted for a while and finally nodded.

Ouyang Xiu added: "You go in person!"

Ouyang Bian sighed and nodded.

Ouyang Xiu's meaning is very clear, and he just hopes that Ouyang Bian will make peace with Han Qi, and hopes that Han Qi will not target Ouyang Bian for his sake.

Ouyang Xiu was considering Ouyang Bian until his death.

That night, Ouyang Xiu took his last breath calmly, and the Ouyang family cried everywhere.

Mrs. Xue, four sons, four grandsons, and six granddaughters sent him to his death.

The three Ouyang Fa brothers rushed to arrange the obituary, but Ouyang Bian just shed tears silently.

The obituary is divided into two parts, one is sent in letters, and it is also published in the Song Dynasty Weekly.

When Zhao Xu heard the news, he immediately set up a trip to Ouyang's family to express his condolences and declared that he would stop working for one day.

Zhao Xu was a workaholic. He was reluctant to stop court when he was on patrol, but he stopped court for a day because of Ouyang Xiu's death.

Zheng Yong, Liang Tao, Lv Huiqing, Lin Xi, Zeng Bu, Zhang Yu, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi and others arrived at the Ouyang family as soon as possible.

All the people in the world were shocked and lost their support.

Han Qi, Fan Zhen, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, Su Shi and many other old friends, and their disciples wrote articles to cry for sacrifice.

On August 11, the fifth year of Xining, Ouyang Xiu was awarded the position of Prince Taishi.

Ouyang Bian and his three brothers silently handled their father's funeral. It's okay for the three brothers. Anyway, their official positions are not very important, and Ding You's three years of influence is not very important. Ouyang Bian holds an important position and is in the important matter of reform. If Ding You's three years of reform, then the reform will be greatly affected.

Zhao Xu summoned Han Qi, Wang Anshi, Zhang Fangping from the Political Affairs Hall, as well as Sima Guang, the Zhijianyuan, and others to discuss the matter of Ouyang Bian's victory of the festival.

Zhao Xu said: "My family, I want to issue an edict to let Ouyang Bian win the festival and continue to preside over the reform. After all, the reform has reached a critical moment, which is understandable. What do you think about it?"

Han Qi immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, I think it's not possible!"

Zhao Xu looked at Han Qi.

Han Qi said: "Ding You is a major matter of ethics. The three departments and regulations have a lot of talents, and the people in charge of Mr. Wang are in charge. Without Ouyang Bian's reform, why should Your Majesty ruin Ouyang Bian's reputation?"

Zhao Xu looked at Han Qi, nodded slightly, and looked at the others.

Sima Guangdao: "I think it is better for all Ouyang Jimo to be a son of man."

Zhao Xu frowned and looked at Zhang Fangping. Zhang Fangping said, "Reform is very important, and it is also a critical moment. Ouyang Jimo is a key figure. It will be more safe to have his leadership. It is understandable that Your Majesty wins the festival, and I agree."

Zhao Xu smiled, Han Qi and Sima Guang opposed it, but Zhang Fangping agreed. With Wang Anshi's words, he won the festival without saying it.

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi crossed his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty... I believe that it is the virtue of the Son of Jimo."

"Hmm?" Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi in surprise.

"Hmm?" Han Qi was surprised.

"Hmm?" Zhang Fangping thought.

Zhao Xu didn't believe what he heard, so he asked quickly: "I didn't hear clearly, what did you say just now?"

Wang Anshi said: "I said, let Ji Mo go home and worry."

Zhao Xu was shocked. He wanted to say something, but now that things have come to this, he can only give up.

What does this mean? It means that Wang Anshi's master and apprentice have already had a crack. They should have referred to close political allies, but now it seems that there is a big problem?

The news came out soon, and countless people in Bianjing celebrated their honor, and many people were even panicked.

Lu Huiqing was well-informed and immediately ran to Ouyang Bian's home to inform him.

After hearing Lu Huiqing's words, Ouyang Bian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The teacher thinks I'm blocking his way."

Lu Huiqing was worried: "Do you really want Ding You for three years? We may have something to do in these three years alone!"

Ouyang Bian shook his head and said, "Try to stop the teacher. If you can't stop it, don't stop it. It's important to protect yourself."

Lu Huiqing sighed and said, "After you leave, we are probably going to be idle."

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Try to reconcile as much as possible. You can still control the losses. If others come up, they may cause a big problem."

Lu Huiqing nodded: "I understand."
