Brief introduction of Ouyang, Minister of Northern Song Dynasty
Hui Zong Daguan four years (1 1 10) led Ouyang Xiu and others to promote the construction of Ren Ying Academy in Pan Hu. He studied hard during his migration, taught his teachers and friends, and gave lectures tirelessly. Recommended to politics and the first year (1 16558). In the first year of Zheng He (111), he was recommended as our envoy to Kaifeng, Henan, that is, Bianzhou, Kyoto. A few days later, he became a minister of the Jin Dynasty, moved to a big company and became a minister of military affairs, a magistrate of Huguang, an assistant minister of Zhongshu, and also served as a supervisor. Shangshu Youcheng is also a bachelor of Hanlin. When the nomads from the north of China invaded the south on a large scale and surrendered to Belarus, China and claimed to cede the three towns of Hebei and Jin Peace. Nine cabinet ministers, including Ouyang and Li Gang, made a joint statement, saying: ancestral land cannot be shared with others. Hold the main battle. The following year, the capital was surrounded by nomads from the northern song dynasty, and Hui Zong, the emperor of the northern song dynasty, gathered in Bianzhou (now Kaifeng, Henan) to discuss countermeasures with cabinet ministers. Ouyang opposed the exchange of land for peace and advocated war. He wrote to Li Gang, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, about five measures to resist gold and shouted that he was the enemy. He said: if you lose territory after defeat, you will regain your rights in the future; Give up without a fight and recover lost ground in the future. In the first month of Northern Song Dynasty (1 1 18), Ouyang Xiu, recommended by Li Gang and other nine ministers, entered the cabinet and worshipped in Guanwentang as a university student.
How did Ouyang die?
Ouyang Zhi, the Prime Minister, went to Bianzhou to sit at the gates and led the Wu 'an army to attack Jin Ying at night. Commander-in-Chief of 8 Jin J was furious and attacked Song Jun. The Prime Minister Ouyang Fuzheng was quickly excluded by Li Qiyan and other capitulationists, and was demoted together with Li Gang and other anti-Jin factions, and was reduced to a prison army. In a rage, he wanted to kill Ouyang, so he sent him to cut down Shenzhou and Jin. The following year, nomads from the south besieged Bianjing and demanded land and gold from three towns in Hebei. As a condition of peace, China broke off contacts with Kim, and the cowardly Qin Zong agreed. So he sent Ouyang as a hostage and went to Bianjing at the gates. Ouyang saw that the Northern Song Dynasty was about to fall to Jin, and burst into tears, saying that the city should guard the soldiers and civilians, guard against death and serve the country loyally. Soon the periphery of Kaifeng City in Henan Province fell, and the capital was quickly captured by Shanxi Jinbing. Ouyang and Qin Zong were captured and escorted back to Yanjing. In April of the following year, Jin lured Ouyang into committing crimes and refused to receive the certificate of award. Finally, the nomads sent them to Yanjing to burn. Ouyang, who was loyal to the country and resisted gold, died at the age of forty.
Ouyang's spirit will go down in history forever, although he is a relative elder. His poem "Ode to Pan Hu's Hometown" fully expressed his glorious life and unyielding patriotic spirit of resisting gold and saving the country and the people. His life of struggle: defending righteousness and attaching importance to lion mountain, purifying Pan Hu's mind, dreaming of national security, and Qiang Ming. He has written ten volumes of Collected Works of Ouyang University and Poems of Pan Hu, which have been lost for a long time. In the first year of Song Xuanhe, posthumous title was the literary festival, and the tomb of its Prime Minister Ouyang was located in Oukou, Pan Hu. His four sons, Ouyang Gui, Ouyang Tao, Ouyang Yan and Ouyang Dun, moved to Luling, Jizhou, Jiangxi. The Prime Minister's garden is in Hou Ling.
