[Pay attention to us, see the historical puzzle with one hand.] 】
Fan Zhongyan was a famous minister during the Reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as a famous writer, politician, and military figure. He wrote "Yueyang Lou", which we are all familiar with because it was written into textbooks. The phrase "the world is worried and worried, and the world is happy and happy" has left a deeper impression on us. It expresses Fan Zhong's political ambition and noble sentiment of worrying about the country and the people, and has become the foundation for future generations to start a career. However, he had ups and downs in the official arena throughout his life, especially after his plan to reform Anbang was frustrated, he was transferred to another official position almost every year, spent most of his time on the road, and finally died on the way to his post. Blame Emperor Song Renzong.
Don't think that after the failure of the reforms, Fan Zhongyan was demoted because of the struggle within the party, and he was often demoted before he became prime minister. He is from Wu County, Suzhou, his family is very poor, after the death of his father, he and his mother remarried to another family. However, he was able to study hard, and at the age of twenty-six he passed the examination and became an advisor to the imperial court, that is, to find someone else's wrong official. As a counselor, Fan Zhongyan was not afraid of the powerful, dared to impeach their mistakes, offended many people, from the empress dowager to the emperor to the prime minister, he dared to impeach, so he was demoted many times.
For example, in the seventh year of Tiansheng, Fan Zhongyan, who was then the head of the secret cabinet, demanded that the then empress dowager Liu E withdraw her curtain and return to Emperor Renzong. This violated the taboo of the empress dowager, so she was sentenced to hezhongfu. In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, after Emperor Renzong of Song took power, he was dissatisfied with the Empress Guo that Liu E had set up for him, and he wanted Empress Guo to become a nun and imprison her for a long time, on the grounds that she had no children. Fan Zhong, who was then the Right Counselor, was overwhelmed and advised Empress Guo to be blameless. As a result, he was expelled from the capital. Later, Emperor Renzong transferred Fan Zhongyan to the capital, Quan Zhi Kaifeng Province. Three years after Jing You, Fan Zhongyan impeached Lü Yijian for abusing his power, forming parties for personal gain, and a large area of network cronies. Therefore, Lü Yijian held a grudge against Fan Zhongyan and accused him of forming a small group to provoke relations between the monarch and his subjects, and Fan Zhongyan was exiled to Shangrao, Jiangxi.
Later, Fan Zhongyan made great contributions in the Song and Xia Wars. Only at this time did Zhao Zhen feel that he was a talent, rather than impeaching others. At this time, the Song Dynasty, which had been established for decades, because of the policies at the beginning of its establishment, various problems and contradictions began to erupt, in addition, internal corruption and war financial expenditures made the national treasury empty, and Zhao Zhen transferred Fan Zhongyan back to Beijing as prime minister and presided over reforms. When Zhao Zhen saw him, he immediately came up with a strategy for governing the country. Fan Zhongyan knew that the government had too many shortcomings, and it was impossible to reverse the recession at once, and he was ready to act safely. Unfortunately, Zhao Zhen was very impatient, and repeatedly urged, Fan Zhongyan could only propose ten reform measures.
These reform measures have been proposed, and Zhao Zhen has implemented this decree, which is the "New Deal for Celebrating the Calendar" in the history books. Unfortunately, Song Renzong was not only impetuous, but also unstable. We know that the ancient communication measures were backward, the policy spread slowly, and Fan Zhongyan's new policy was not yet deepened, which led to the rise of powerful ministers, corrupt officials and other people to attack, they spread rumors and denigrate the new policy. And Zhao Zhen saw so much opposition that he doubted the New Deal and decided to compromise. Fan was expelled from Beijing, and the New Deal was abolished only a year later.
After the failure of the Qingli New Deal, Fan Zhongyan lived a wandering life in the official field, and the change of official positions was more diligent than before he became prime minister. In 1046, he was appointed to Zhizhou of Dengzhou, in 1048 he was appointed to Zhijingnan Prefecture, in 1049 to Zhihang, in 1051 to Zhiqing Prefecture, and in 1052 to Zhiying Prefecture. On the way to Yingzhou, when he arrived in Xuzhou, he died of illness. It can be said that Fan Zhong drowned in the reform failure to death, in less than six years, changed five positions, the sky south and the north, and spent a long time on the road. His death had a lot to do with political failure, all because of Song Renzong, if he had the courage and perseverance of Emperor Wu of Han, how could the reform not be successful, and Fan Zhongyan would not end up depressed.
