"Xu Zizhi Tongjian" records: On December 11, the year of Jiayou, a comet appeared in the Ziweiyuan, and it passed through seven stars. Its color was white and more than 100 meters long.

That night, Ouyang Bian started tonight, and just as he looked up, he saw a comet passing by, and the entire night sky was left with comets illuminating the sky.

The scene was wonderful and shocking, and when Ouyang Bian knew that the court should be troublesome.

Sure enough, the ministers wrote a letter on the second day.

Fan Zhen said: "I am close to the capital city flood [27] and the comet exiled, and it is a very different change, so I ask for a plan to quickly make a big plan to answer the punishment of heaven.

I will wait for the crime and pray for death. The mere words are light and not enough to move the holy one's ears, but what is stated is the heaven's warning.

Even if Your Majesty does not use the words of his ministers, can you not be afraid of the warnings of heaven? The comet is still there, and the court does not know how to be wary. Once the comet is destroyed, there will be no warnings.

Even though he wanted to speak, he had no choice but to say anything. This is why the minister was afraid and would ask for death.

Now that I have eliminated my ministers and ministers, I know miscellaneous things, my words and blame are even more serious than before, and I dare not accept all the imperial edicts."

Sima Guang wrote a letter saying: [I think that a country has small and big governments, and things have urgent needs. If you know where to go, you will achieve success... Because of the stupidity of the ministers, the great and urgent things are very important now, because they have not built up at all, and the people are in danger and doubtful, and they can relieve this without worry, and look at the other three, which is to give up their hearts and save the four branches. Isn’t it a loss?]

There is also the censor Zhao Pinyan in the palace, "This is the yin and yang that is weak. The Shang and Zhou dynasties have established the same surname. The princes of the Han Dynasty have mostly been granted great powers. There are members of the Tang Dynasty and the governors. The two sects of the country have successively Yin Jing. Therefore, the branch is strong and the peace of rocks is safe. The treacherous heroes dare not look inside, and the world has some hope. I hope that the wise men of the clan will be chosen to ask for peace and serve in the palace to eliminate the treacherous and cuteness, or Yin Jingdian County is the power to assist."

It is also said: "I saw the celestial phenomena, and the demons said that the powerful ministers had false news, and were attached to the soldiers, and they were both impressed by the Chinese and foreign countries. At this time of opportunity, it was not allowed to be released, because the prince had not been established, and the country had such great worries. But your Majesty had already made plans, so people's hearts would not shake and the country would be solid."

All the ministers wrote to me, and there was only one thing they said, which was to warn Renzong:

——Your Majesty, look, the flood in May and the comets now, God is telling us that it is time for you to be a prince. If you don’t be a prince, God should be furious and the world should be uneasy!

So on December 21, the court appointed Zhao Zongshi as the Qinzhou defensive censor and Zhizong Zheng Temple.

As soon as the news came out, the world was peaceful.

This is a very obvious signal, which means that Renzong has compromised with his ministers and intends to make Zhao Zongshi the prince. Although it has not been officially recognized, Zhizong Zheng Temple has become a very obvious signal, so the ministers temporarily suppressed it.

Ouyang Bian was not particularly concerned about these things, because he knew that this was an inevitable process, and it would be like this one day earlier or later.

Unless Zhao Zhen himself can give birth to a healthy prince, it may be because of Zhao Zhen's own physical condition. Few people can live to adulthood, whether it is a prince or a princess.

Ouyang Bian thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but a handwritten letter came, allowing Ouyang Bian to study in Zishan Hall.

Ouyang Bian was a little confused.

Zishantang was established as the place where the prince studied in the Song Dynasty. There was no problem at all. It was originally just to accompany the prince to study.

But this matter is not that simple.

If Zishantang had his own son in the official family, Zishantang was a place where he would be to study with the prince. However, in some special periods, such as Zishantang during the Zhenzong period, because Zhenzong had not had his own children for a long time, the children of the clans were the children of the clans. Only when Zhenzong gave birth to his own children did he return to normal study.

The same is true now. Studying in Zishantang is not Renzong's own child, but the clan's children mainly Zhao Zhongzhen, the child of Zhao Zongshi.

As a substitute for Renzong, Zhao Zhongzhen was the substitute son. Renzong is not old yet and may give birth to his own son, so Zhao Zongshi can only be a substitute, just like his father Zhao Yunrang. If Renzong gave birth to his own child like Zhenzong, then he could only be a jack.

Those who accompany Zhao Zhongzhen to study in Zishantang may be regarded as a member of the party and their future will be almost ruined.

However, Ouyang Bian doesn’t have to worry about this, because Zhao Zhongzhen is the future Song Shenzong, so there is no need to worry about the future. The key is that once he enters Zishan Hall, he will step into the whirlpool!

Zishan Hall is not just Zishan Hall, it is actually similar to the Eastern Palace. The whereabouts of the Crown King have always been a whirlpool. No matter what Ouyang Bian thinks, once he enters, he will be a member of the Eastern Palace.

It is really hard to say whether this matter is good or bad.

However...If we look at the future reforms, the main leader is Zhao Zhongzhen. He is only eleven years old now, only one year older than himself. At this time, it is the time for thinking to form. If he can influence him at this time, then in the future...

Did it!

Getting close to imperial power is extremely risky, but the benefits are also great.

Ouyang Bian sighed secretly, he would have to be cautious in the future.

When he contacts a prince in the political vortex, he has to be careful of his expressions and thoughts. If he shows too radical thoughts and is criticized and led the prince on a wrong path, it is possible that he will be pulled out and chopped out.

However, Ouyang Bian was speculating, guessing who pushed him into Zishan Hall. After thinking for a while, he could probably lock in a few people.

It should be Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, Bao Zheng and a few others.

Han Qi firmly supported Zhao Zongshi, Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng were also on the unified front. Although his father Ouyang Xiu supported Renzong's early establishment of the prince, he did not have obvious tendencies to Zhao Zhongshi. Even though he thought Zhao Zhongshi was still a good person.

Perhaps Han Qi invested himself in the Zishan Hall in order to win over Ouyang Xiu. In this way, Ouyang Xiu had to support Zhao Zhongshi for his son's future.

Bao Zheng would not have this idea. He probably just thought that he could contact the future crown prince when he was young, which would be beneficial to his future future. This was out of kindness.

After thinking about this clearly, Ouyang Bian felt relieved.

At least in the short term, this is still a great thing.

For a long time next, Han Qi and Fu Bi were both prime ministers. Standing on Zhao Zhongshi's side, he was standing on the line of Han Qi, and he could have enough time to grow. This is a great thing.

If you can become good friends with the future Song Shenzong during this period, then when Wang Anshi reforms in the future, he can be used as lubricant... Well, this statement doesn't seem to be very good, but everyone just needs to understand what's going on.
