Emperor Song Renzong reigned for many years, but he had no children. He longed for a son to inherit his country, but he couldn't get it. Therefore, the ministers were very worried and hoped that the emperor could decide the candidate for Chu Jun as soon as possible. However, this matter is too extensive, and no one dares to take the lead. Only Fan Zhen, in order to establish the cause of Chu Jun, visited the emperor three times and wrote nineteen letters, claiming that his hair and beard were all white. Finally, with the efforts of Han Qi and others, Song Renzong named his adopted son Zhao Shu as the Prince.
Later, Wang Anshi implemented the new law, which made the people in the Song Dynasty suffer greatly. Fan Zhen strongly opposed Wang Anshi's political reform and fought back five times. Wang Anshi was so angry that he personally wrote a paper to refute it. Fan saw that he couldn't beat Wang Anshi and asked for a refund.
Please step back, Fan Zhen. You can enjoy yourself. He went down the Yangtze River to Jingxiang successively and wrote more than 300 landscape poems.
Until AD 1085, when Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne, Wang Anshi's new law was abolished and the old minister was re-enabled. Fan Zhenkai is for this reason, but at this time he is almost eighty years old. He declined the emperor and did not take office. Song Zhezong was unwilling and changed him to Duke of Shu, which made him reluctantly take office. In 1087, Fan Li suddenly fell ill and died at the age of 8 1 year. After his death, posthumous title became Wenzhong.
Xuekuishifan town
Xue Kui was a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty and the father-in-law of Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Song Dynasty. Fan Zhen, Ren Jing, was a politician, writer and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty. He cooperated with Ouyang Xiu in compiling the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, and Fan Zuyu cooperated with him, so later historians called them "three models of compiling history".
The story of Xue Kui knowing Fan Zhen is similar to that of Bole knowing horses. And Fan Zhen can enter the official career, also has an inseparable relationship with Xue Kui.
Legend has it that one year, Xue Kui went to Sichuan as a satrap and met Fanzhen, a native of Huayang, Chengdu. After a close conversation, Xue Kui found that Fan Zhen was very talented and could not help admiring him. So, Xue Kui invited him to his mansion and asked him to be his son's teacher. But Fan Zhen didn't feel great because of it. Whenever he passed Xue Kui's door, he always trotted to show Xue Kui his respect and humility. I insist on walking alone when I go out every day. I don't need a government sedan chair or elevator. Just over a year later, the gatekeeper of Xue Kuifu didn't even know that he was a guest of the prefect.
Soon, Xue Kui returned to North Korea and brought Fan Zhen to the capital. When someone asked him what he gained when he was a magistrate in Sichuan, Xue Kui replied: I met an extraordinary person this time, and his articles will be famous all over the world in the future.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fan Zhen's articles to spread all over Beijing, and even celebrities in Beijing were amazed when they saw his articles. After a while, Fan Zhen took the imperial examination in Beijing. He was a top student in high school and began to enter the official career.
Fan Zhen and Fan Zhongyan
Fan Zhen and Fan Zhongyan were both famous ministers and writers in the Northern Song Dynasty. Most importantly, both of them are surnamed Fan. However, these two people actually have no relationship, not even a teacher-student relationship, but a colleague relationship.
Fan Zhongyan, whose real name is Wen, was a scholar in 10 15 years, and lived in the same period as Han Qi, Di Qing and other celebrities. At that time, the northern song dynasty was at war with Xixia, and Xia and the northern song dynasty fought for years, but the northern song dynasty was defeated repeatedly, and there was nothing he could do. In A.D. 1040, Fan Zhongyan was sent to Xixia, and together with Han Qi, he served as the appeasement minister of Shaanxi Province. During the period of guarding Xixia, he defeated Li Yuanhao's plot to attack the northwest defense line of Dasong for many times, and adopted the system of "reclaiming land" to fight a protracted war with Xixia, which made Xixia get no benefit. Finally, in the period of Li Qing, the militaristic Xixia had no choice but to make peace with Dasong. In A.D. 1043, Fan Zhongyan was transferred back to Beijing as a political adviser. He actively advocated the implementation of the New Deal and reform. 1045, the New Deal reform failed and Fan Zhongyan was demoted. 1052, Fan Zhongyan was seriously ill. At this time, he was appointed as a well-known Yingzhou and took office in spite of illness. As a result, he died on the road
Fan Zhen, Ren Jingren, comes from Huayang, Chengdu, Sichuan. When he was young, he was appreciated by Xue Kui, the satrap, and went to Beijing proudly. Soon the high school champion entered the official career. Because of his integrity and outstanding achievements, he was promoted to quality inspector. Because Song Renzong had no children at that time, he didn't want him to be a prince. For this matter, Fan Zhen repeatedly played on the emperor, asking him to establish a prince candidate as soon as possible. Not afraid of offending the emperor, I wrote a letter to the emperor 19, and waited for 100 days, even my hair and beard turned white. Later, Fan Li politically supported Sima Guang's new law and opposed Wang Anshi's Miao law, so he offended Wang Anshi and was demoted. In 187, Fan Zhen died in Wenzhong and posthumous title.
To sum up, although Fan Zhen and Fan Zhongyan were officials in the same dynasty, their relationship was not deep and they were not related by blood.
