Fan Zhongyan: From good doctor to good look, all the way to the end! On June 19, 1052, Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister, died of illness in Xuzhou at the age of sixty-four. Song Renzong's personal book "Monument of Praise and Virtue", plus the book of the Ministry of War, nicknamed "Wenzheng".
Fan Zhongyan, a familiar name, is not only a great writer, reformer, and military strategist, but also a "little expert".
His life is full of challenges and opportunities, but he always sticks to his beliefs and uses his wisdom and courage to keep moving forward.
From his career experience, we can see his talent and courage, and we can see his personality charm.
So, let's get to know this "first person of the Song Dynasty" and see how he used his wisdom and courage to win people's admiration and respect.
Have the courage to speak out, not afraid of the powerful. Fan Zhongyan first entered the **, dared to challenge the Empress Dowager Liu, and wrote a letter asking for the return of government to Renzong, which became the focus of the Manchu civil and military affairs did not dare to mention.
Although he suffered setbacks, his uprightness and courage won the attention of Renzong, laying the groundwork for his return to ** and the start of the Qingli New Deal in the future.
As always, we will not change our original intention.
After Fan Zhongyan was transferred to other places, he still adhered to his principles and positions, opposed the abolition of Empress Guo, and bravely stood on the opposite side of Renzong and Lü Yijian. Although he was refuted by Lu Yijian above the main hall, Fan Zhongyan still insisted on his own point of view and was finally released.
Fan Zhongyan is a person who is not afraid of the powerful, dares to speak out, always adheres to himself, and has the courage to challenge authority. His life was full of challenges and difficulties, but his spirit and belief are always worthy of our learning and respect.
Fan Zhongyan's upright personality made his friends unbearable, and Mei Yaochen even used the poem "Woodpecker" to persuade him not to peck like a woodpecker. However, Fan Zhongyan showed his determination with "Lingwu Fu", even if it will attract displeasure, he must insist on telling the truth"Rather die than live silently"。
This attitude of insisting on the truth is not only in line with his original intention, but also gives him good luck in **. His Emperor Song Renzong and his political rival Lü Yijian both recognized his upright character, which made him important in the future and presided over the Qingli New Deal.
Even his political opponent Lu Yijian ignored his previous suspicions and recommended him to return to ** and command the Song-Xia War. This fully shows the truth that good medicine is bitter and loyal to the ear.
He is a master of poetry and literature, and he is also a brave and warlike general, with an upright personality and not a party, but he knows how to be an official, and he uses it carefully and appropriately.
He is known as the first figure of the Song Dynasty, not only because of his upright character, but also because of his ingenious mind.
Between kings and ministers, he is good at using careful thinking. During the Renzong period, he cooperated with Fu Bi Administration, and in the face of Renzong's mercy and soft-handed treatment of criminals, Fu Bi resolutely advocated beheading, but he silently did not say anything.
Fu Bi was surprised by this, and he asked Fan Zhongyan if he wanted to become a Buddha. Fan Zhongyan explained with a smile that the emperor was still young and could not kill people at will, otherwise the emperor might become cruel.
Fu Bi was deeply impressed after hearing this, and bowed to Fan Zhongyan to thank him. In his personal life, he is also good at using careful thinking. When he was an official in Raozhou, he took a fancy to an official prostitute, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly.
So, he wrote a poem to his local friend Wei Jie, hoping that he could help him. Wei Jie saw what he meant, and immediately bought the official prostitute and sent it to the capital. Fan Zhongyan's careful thinking allowed this matter to be resolved satisfactorily.
Fan Zhongyan: The first person in the Song Dynasty, he has made outstanding achievements in his life, with various honors and various labels. However, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng and others, who were fellow reformers with him, had mixed reputations.
Only Fan Zhongyan, his reputation has always been the same, without any stain. The reason for this has to be said that character determines fate.
