——

A quarter of midnight (23 o'clock to 1 o'clock),

Ouyang Xiu Mansion,

Ouyang Xiu walked through the library and was slightly startled, then frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

in darkness,

A young woman walked out. She was extremely beautiful, not like a mortal, and slightly blessed: "I want to read, but this library..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Ouyang Xiu's face was cold. The delicate and beautiful woman was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "My daughter heard..."

"daughter?"

Ouyang Xiu frowned a little irritably: "Everyone knows that my three daughters, Ouyang Xiu, all died early. Which one are you?"

The delicate and delicate woman shook her head, but she showed no emotion, just a slight blessing: "My daughter knows, my daughter is going to rest." After saying that, she didn't need a lantern, turned around and walked away in the dark.

Ouyang Xiu looked at the woman's back uncertainly,

actually,

He couldn't see clearly either, and then he was about to turn around and leave.

thump

Something seemed to have fallen from the wall not far away. Although Ouyang Xiu's eyes were not very good, his ears were very good, so he shouted: "Who?"

"This is the person who delivered the book today."

in darkness,

The man answered, but his voice seemed to be trembling slightly, either from embarrassment or pain.

Ouyang Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Servant?"

Obviously,

Even if it was him, he couldn't believe that Zhao Zhen would climb the wall of his house in the middle of the night. Then he felt a burst of joy in his heart and nodded reservedly: "If you want to return the book, where is the study? If you want me not to go to the memorial hall tomorrow, the official

It’s useless to have relatives from home.”

Zhao Shi had no choice but to look at Zhong Shiquan. Zhong Shiquan was a little angry and didn't want to get close to Ouyang Xiu. He looked at Cao Wen. Cao Wen was stunned for a moment, but he still carried the only box he brought out from Shixianju and put it away.

In front of Ouyang Xiu: "Please count Ouyang Gong."

Count them?

What's the number for this?

This is only one box in total, right?

Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly, and then he realized that the official was obviously angry and only returned one box of books, but...

He is not afraid.

"Don't count?"

Cao Wen was also suppressing his anger. Seeing that Ouyang Xiu was not counting, he couldn't help but cursed: "Everyone in the world says that Mr. Ouyang is rich in five carts. When I saw him today, I realized that he only learned donkey carts."

Ouyang Xiu turned his head,

Don't say,

His demeanor was very indifferent, and he even cupped his hand and said: "This chamberlain, scholars are different from you. Whether it is a donkey cart or a carriage, as long as you read a book, you can understand the truth, and if you understand the truth, you can go anywhere in the world."

"Yeah?"

It was impossible for Cao Wen not to be mixed with personal hatred, and suddenly sneered: "Even if only one box of these dozens of boxes of books is burned, it doesn't matter?"

"burn?"

A flash of panic suddenly flashed across Ouyang Xiu's face,

Cao Wen became more and more excited, opened the box with a snap, stretched out his hand and said, "Look."

look?

No need to look,

Ouyang Xiu just moved his nose, and then he took at least three or four steps back like a lightning strike, and then he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, your Majesty actually did such a thing? The old minister made a lot of mistakes. He criticized and even killed him.

I’m just an old minister, why would you..."

"His Majesty?"

Zhong Shiquan couldn't help it anymore, jumped out and cursed: "You are just stupid, but you are still blind."

"What about the blind man?"

Ouyang Xiu suddenly gained momentum, or might as well be like a rainbow, bowed to Zhao Shi, and cursed Zhong Shiquan: "I am blind, but my heart is not blind. Officials are respected by the world as co-owners, so naturally they must be a role model for the world."

, if he also competes with the people for profit, what about the royal family? What about the noble relatives? What about the ministers in the court?"

"Are you going to compete with the people for profit?"

"How much benefit do the people have, can they afford it... Huh?"

Ouyang Xiu was suddenly surprised, because his eyes, which had always been sour, blurry, and unable to see clearly at night, suddenly became clear. Then before he could continue the surprise, Zhao Shi's gentle voice came to his ears: "Look.

I."

Ouyang Xiu looked over subconsciously,

Immediately,

The whole thing trembled.

"You, you are not an official?"

Zhao Shi quickly took away the tattered glasses with only one lens left: "First of all, we did not burn the book. Secondly, Mr. Ouyang felt that we came here in the middle of the night to save ourselves or to save someone stupid...

Literary world Wen Zong?"

Ouyang Xiu shuddered,

A tremble,

One more tremble,

He wasn't stupid either. In other words, the emperor tolerated such innocuous mistakes when he reported them to him, and even issued a self-incriminating edict from time to time to spoil him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the same mistake he just made in court this morning.

After being scolded by the officials, I came up with such a bad idea that night.

certainly,

It's not that bad,

If the target was really Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen would not burn these books no matter what, and would even detain them for a while at most, and eventually return them to Ouyang Xiu, but...

It was wrong from the start.

Deng Deng Deng

Ouyang Xiu almost took seven or eight steps back. If Zhao Shi hadn't supported him, he might have fallen into the pond, and he hadn't spoken yet...

Cao Wen said quietly: "If the officials were not kind-hearted, we would just publicize this matter and see what scholars all over the world would say about this Hanlin bachelor who is rich in knowledge."

puff

Ouyang Xiu actually vomited a mouthful of blood.

Unfortunately,

Zhong Shiquan was not distressed yet, but became more and more excited, and added: "That's right! I wonder if after the death of Ouyang Wenzong, who had been innocent and smart for half his life, there will be a note in the history books. Ouyang Xiu, yes, but he was ridiculously blind.

.”

Ouyang Xiu's Adam's apple was trembling. Zhao Shi hurriedly turned around and warned the two of them with his eyes. Then when he was about to persuade, he saw...

Bang

Ouyang Xiu's eyes turned white and he fell straight back.

Will it?

Yes!

As a historian, he knows very well that instead of recording those great achievements, who wouldn't want to dig up some small details and record them down?

How can great achievements be as interesting as small details?

but,

He likes to dig, but he doesn't necessarily like to be dug, especially in this way. Therefore, let alone Zhong Shiquan and Cao Wen's sarcasm, even if they didn't speak, the moment he saw Zhao Shi, he even died.

Decades of evaluation have been thought through.

Ouyang Xiu?

good,
