On the Lantern Festival in the eighth year of Jiayou, the capital was filled with lights as usual.

According to previous practices, Zhao Zhen should leave the palace on the morning of the 14th day of the first lunar month, patrol the various palace and temple departments, give wine to ministers, and only meet the palace at night, and enjoy the lanterns together at Daoxuande Gate at night, and go back to rest after drinking.

But Zhao Zhen, who had just entered the first month of the year, felt uncomfortable, so he canceled the activity and only barely showed up at Xuande Gate at night, and gave him wine for three rounds to stop.

In the second half of the first lunar month, Renzong could no longer take matters, and a furnace was raised in the hall.

This is quite unusual for Zhao Zhen.

Because Zhao Zhen has never feared the cold, he often had barefoot when he was young. Forty years since he registered, he did not need ice to cool down in summer and did not need to grow a stove to keep warm in winter. This year, Zhao Zhen raised the stove.

Zhao Zhen fell ill.

This disease is like a mountain of illness.

Zhao Zhen's illness was delayed until March, when peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Everyone's hearts are floating in the capital.

People seem to realize something.

On the 29th day of March, the lights in the Funing Palace in the palace were endless.

On the first day of April, Han Qi and other prime ministers arrived at the bedroom.

On the second day of April, Prime Minister Han Qi read out the legacy of Zhao Zhen on behalf of the court.

Zhao Zhen was fifty-four years old.

Zhao Zhen’s era has passed, and Zhao Shu’s era has arrived.

The world is covered with mourning, and there is crying in the room, which is like losing one's parents.

The streets of Bianjing cried for several days, even though the beggars and children burned paper money, they cried before the Great Inner.

Ouyang Bian walked on the Imperial Street in a carriage. He could hear the sound of crying that shook the sky, lifted the curtain, and saw the ashes of paper money fluttering in the wind.

Zhao Zhenxian went, and had been renamed Zhao Shu and was renamed Emperor Liwei.

According to convention, all officials were in the east of Funing Hall, waiting for the new emperor to receive him. Ouyang Bian, as the censor, was also in it.

Ouyang Bian came early and waited under the eaves with all the officials, but time passed by minute by minute. When the sun was three times, the new emperor was not seen to meet him, and all the officials were stunned.

It was not until the afternoon that I saw the new emperor meeting all the officials surrounded by the prime minister.

Ouyang Bian clearly saw Zhao Shu’s discomfort.

When I got home in the evening, Ouyang Xiu looked a little depressed. Ouyang Bian asked, Ouyang Xiu talked about what happened today.

Ouyang Xiu said that he and Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang and others went to ask Zhao Shu to succeed the throne today, but Zhao Shu refused desperately, saying that he did not dare to be the emperor, and then ran away!

Fortunately, the prime ministers quickly caught Zhao Shu, forced Zhao Shu to put on a yellow robe, put on a crown, and then played a yellow robe to put on it.

Ouyang Bian was so amused and laughed.

This seemed to be a sign, symbolizing the arrival of the ridiculous Yingzong era.

There are many things to do when the new emperor succeeds to the throne.

A general amnesty for the world.

All officials will be promoted to the first level.

Reward all the troops.

The envoy ordered the envoy to go to Xixia and the Liao Kingdom confessed his grief.

Respecting Empress Cao as the Empress Dowager.

Build a mountain mausoleum for Zhao Zhen.

Of course, the most important thing is to agree on Zhao Zhen’s temple name.

Hanlin scholar Wang Gui agreed to the temple name of the Emperor Daxing was "Renzong", and all officials praised it.

Chinese people admire their ancestors, and after the monarch dies, they will have a title for worship.

The ancients emphasized avoiding taboos, so they could not directly call the names of their ancestors, so they gave them a title. Since this title was used in the temple, it was called the temple name.

Among the monarch's temple name, "Ren" is the highest praise for the monarch. Looking at Zhao Zhen's voice, he is indeed worthy of Ren.

On the ninth day of November, heavy snow.

The tablet of the Renzong God Lord entered the Taimiao.

After Ouyang Bian followed the officials to visit the court, he breathed a long sigh at the heavy snow all over the sky, and a long white air disappeared in the air.

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Mei Yaochen left, Hu Yuan left, Bao Zheng left, and Zhao Zhen left.

And Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and others are gradually getting older, and they will not be too far from the time of their death.

But that's how things are.

Time will take away bad things and some people, but those who stay still have to continue to live.

Zuo Zhengyan... Oh, no, Zuo Sijian Ouyang Bian, on this snowy day, he figured out something.

Life continues, but seems to become absurd.

The new emperor Zhao Shu seemed to be crazy.

It was quite normal at the beginning. When all officials reported the matter, Zhao Shu would ask the whole story in detail and then make decisions. Everyone said that Zhao Shu was a wise king.

But after a while, Zhao Shu suddenly became mentally ill.

When Renzong was buried, Zhao Shu suddenly shouted at the scene, and the ministers and ministers quickly helped the emperor away.

Because Zhao Shu was mentally ill is not a matter of observing things, Han Qi and others could only discuss with Empress Dowager Cao and ask the Empress Dowager to rule the country from behind the curtain.

During the period of Renzong in the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liu ruled behind the curtain, and this precedent did not seem abrupt.

Therefore, although the new emperor Zhao Shu was often unhesitant, the government affairs were normal and stable.

The situation was not very clear, and Ouyang Bian was less active than a quiet person. The previous plan of the change in the procuratorate had to stop.

But there is one thing that is always being planned.

That is, he planned to send the Princess of Yan, but after meeting the Princess of Yan, Ouyang Bian changed his mind.

The Princess of Yan State was a little unstable, but after meeting Ouyang Bian, her mental state improved.

Because Renzong passed away, Yingzong now didn't care about the princess of Yan State, so she was able to live in the princess's mansion.

I have been doing well recently. Except for not being able to walk around casually, everything else is pretty good. It’s okay to have Liang Huaiji accompany me.

As for the neglect of the Princess' Mansion and the insufficient daily use, Ouyang Bian secretly arranged for the Princess' Mansion to invest in some shares in his industry, so that he could use dividends to transfer money to the Princess' Mansion to ensure daily use.

Liang Huaiji, who often contacted him, said that Zhao Huirou had gradually returned to normal, which could be regarded as giving Ouyang Bian some comfort.

...

After everything was not moved, Ouyang Bian became idle.

Ouyang Bian went to the Censorate every day to check it out, and then went home to have a meal.

Last time Ouyang Xiu bragged about visiting brothels and Mrs. Xue heard that Mrs. Xue never made medicine soup again, because she didn't want to work hard to make medicine soup just for an old man who was not worth it.

So it is quite gratifying. It is just that Ouyang Xiu was so sad that he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak when he went back every day. After dinner, he tiptoed back to the room to sort out the ancient stone tablets he had hidden.

Ouyang Bian was also very interested in this. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he accompanied his father to sort it out.

In the past two years, Ouyang Xiu has more and more collections. The reason is that Ouyang Bian has given him a lot of money, which has enabled him to spend money. Another reason is that this is largely due to Ouyang Xiu's friend Liu Chang.

Three years ago, Liu Chang was appointed as a Hanlin scholar and was appointed as the Yongxing Army, and his capital was located in Chang'an. Chang'an is the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It has a long history and cultural relics are everywhere.

Liu Chang was originally a knowledgeable and obsessed with ancient artifacts. He had a very profound appreciation of ancient artifacts. He discovered everything he gained from time to time and tried his best to buy and collect it.

Because Ouyang Xiu has been working hard to collect gold and stone inscriptions, Liu Chang will send rubbings whenever he gets something.

One day, Ouyang Bian finished his meal and then brewed tea in the living room and drank it himself and enjoyed it. He heard the old father screaming in the study. Ouyang Bian was so scared that he trembled and ran in to take a look.

It turned out that Ouyang Xiu received a rare inscription rubbing sent by Liu Chang. Ouyang Bian also screamed strangely when he saw it, and then the father and son buried their heads in the research of the rubbing.

Later, Ouyang Fen, Ouyang Yi, who came after hearing the news, and Ouyang Fa who rushed over from his house were buried in.

Mrs. Xue, Ouyang Fa's wife, Wu, came to see it, and found that it was not something she liked, so she sneered and went back to sleep.

Hearing the disdainful sneer of Mrs. Xue and the four brothers of Ouyang Fa raised their heads, looked at each other and smiled, and then let out a sneer, which was also disdainful.

When Mrs. Xue and her relatives saw what they did, they felt that their men were not doing serious business, and Ouyang Xiu and others also felt that their wives, daughter-in-law or sister-in-law did not do serious business, so they despise each other.

However, the female family dared to sneer disdainfully in front of her. They only dared to sneer disdainfully after the female family left, and then the father and son looked at each other and laughed.

Ouyang Xiu naturally needs to remember such interesting things.

He recorded in "Reading the Original Father with Liu Shishi": "Fu Hui used ancient artifacts to publish a book and lost his voice when he was surprised. The group of children walked away and asked what his husband got at night, and he was so happy?"

Today's inscription is unique, so Ouyang Xiu naturally needs to record it.

"Meng Hui used the "Hancheng Ding Ming" and the "Boshan Pan Ji" in the Han Dynasty, both of which are actually strange things.

A collection of ancient relics of ancient texts are often rare to find. Since the three generations, all of them have been found, but they have no previous Chinese characters and always feel hated.

Now that I have received this inscription, I have fulfilled my wishes very much. I am grateful for what I should do!"

Ouyang Xiu's joy was beyond words.

The same was true for Ouyang Bian and others.
