You should know that at this time, the new emperor Zhao Xu was very anxious when facing the terminally ill country. At this moment, he was about to find someone to consult about his strategy for governing the country, but was interrupted by this incident.

As the saying goes, the new official takes office for three fires, and Zhao Xu never thought that these three fires would be burned from Ouyang Xiu. He wanted to kill Ouyang Xiu immediately and immediately to serve as a warning to You. However, after being outdone, Zhao Xu felt that he should ask someone for advice and then make a decision.

Impulse is a devil. Zhao Xu was able to get the posthumous title of "Shenzong" because he defeated the devil.

So, Zhao Xu secretly gave someone a secret message about Ouyang Xiu and his own thoughts. This person is named Sun Sigong, Tianzhangge is still under system. He has no reputation in history, but he has been deeply trusted by Zhao Xu.

In fact, it is not just Sun Sigong. There are only a few who can leave their names for thousands of years, and most of them are still unknown to you and me. However, small people cannot be ignored at any time.

Sun Sigong was also surprised when he read the emperor's secret letter. What surprised him the most was the person who impeached Ouyang Xiu - Jiang Zhiqi . Jiang Zhiqi was a Jinshi 10 years ago, and Ouyang Xiuzheng was the chief examiner that year. In other words, Ouyang Xiu is Jiang Zhiqi's teacher.

Sun Sigong felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he suggested to Zhao Xu: Such a big thing cannot be silent before, so he should check it carefully.

Ouyang Xiu himself was also shocked when he heard about it. Of course he knew that this was a false accusation, but he still suspended his post as usual to avoid suspicion. After that, he submitted several memorials, asking the officials to investigate the truth and the truth according to their instructions. If it is true, he can be "slayed the city to help the wrath of the world." If there is no such incident, please ask the emperor to "show all directions to show doubts in the world."

After Zhao Xu saw Ouyang Xiu’s letter, he felt a little calmer. With Sun Sigong’s persuasion, he decided to investigate the matter in detail.

So he ordered someone to call Jiang Zhiqi, ask carefully, and ask him to provide evidence.

Listen to the ears as false, seeing as true, especially in this kind of thing, there are many people who listen to the wind and rain. Zhao Xu believed that Jiang Zhiqi must have evidence in hand, otherwise he would not dare to sue his teacher.

However, the result was as expected!

Faced with the emperor's request, Jiang Zhiqi was a little confused: I am a censor. Does the censor impeached anyone? I still need evidence? Do you still need message fidelity?

It turns out that this matter was heard by Jiang Zhiqi, and there is no evidence at all. Zhao Xu asked him who heard it, and Jiang Zhiqi replied that he had heard it from Peng Siyong, the chief censor.

So, Zhao Xu called Peng Siyong again and asked him if there was any evidence of Ouyang Xiu's unfamiliar love. Peng Siyong was also stunned because he also heard about it.

Now, Zhao Xu was angry. Hearse, hearsay! This is a major event that concerns the reputation of the prime minister, how can it be a joke?

Zhao Xu, who was angry, asked Peng Siyong to think about it, think about it again, and think about it carefully, where did he hear it from.

However, Peng Siyong did not say anything, and said that the law allowed the censor to hear the truth, and defended his irresponsible behavior and listen to the wind and rain.

Zhao Xu doesn't want to listen to such sophistry on the other side. Order investigation and thorough investigation!

The result came out quickly, which is very sad.

It turns out that Ouyang Xiu's brother-in-law Xue Liangru once recommended one person as an official, but this person was demoted for work mistakes, and Xue Liangru was also punished for being punished. However, he was lucky and was pardoned when he encountered a general amnesty in the court.However, Ouyang Xiu mistakenly thought that it was because he was an important official in the prime minister's office, so he pardoned Xue Liangru. In order to avoid suspicion, and to make himself seem selfless and destroy his relatives for justice, Ouyang Xiu wrote a letter to the court not to pardon Xue Liangru.

To be honest, Ouyang Xiu did this a bit. Xue Liangru hated Ouyang Xiu for this reason, so he talked bad things about Ouyang Xiu everywhere and said that he had an affair with his daughter-in-law.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. This was heard by Liu Jin, a manager of Jixian. He had had a feud with Ouyang Xiu, so he began to take advantage of the topic and add fuel to the fire, and tell everyone he wanted. Among them is the Chief Censor Peng Siyong, who told Jiang Zhiqi about this matter.

The matter finally figured out, Jiang and Peng were demoted. However, the losses they caused to Ouyang Xiu's reputation were irreversible. Many ministers are still saying that there is no wind and waves. If this is really the case, Xue Liangru would not say it.

Ouyang Xiu knew that if he continued to stay in the center, he would only cause more trouble, so he posted 3 memorials and , asking for an external tune.

Zhao Xu disagreed at first, but later, seeing that Ouyang Xiu insisted repeatedly, he had to agree. In this way, Zhao Xu lost another general.

Looking back at the whole thing, it was indeed Ouyang Xiu, and he took it for granted. As an important official of the Prime Minister, it is necessary to avoid suspicion, but nothing can be too much. Confucius He has long told us: Too much is worse than too much.

There is also some people's hearsays, and seeing them is not necessarily true, let alone hearsays? If there is no evidence, why believe it? Why spread?

Everyone must be responsible for what they have done and what they say. Jiang Zhiqi and Peng Siyong are the best examples. What's more, some people with ulterior motives are not just communicators. Instead, I want to achieve my own goals by spreading fake news, such as Liu Jin in the article.

Song Dynasty , our era is even better. The popularity of various self-media is convenient for the people, and it also creates good conditions for some people with ulterior motives. The more this happens, the more we must be careful, be cautious in our words and deeds, and not believe in rumors or spread them.

At any time, rumors stop at the wise.
