The story between Di Qing Ouyang Xiu
Through the dialysis of Di Qing's death, we can see that a generation of literati also has shortcomings, so Ouyang Xiu can only be called a great demeanor, but there is no wind of sages. Next, I will introduce Di Qing Ouyang Xiu in detail.
Di Qing, born in 1008, was a famous soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty. He won the trust and reuse of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He grew up in a very poor family, so he chose to make contributions as a soldier and create wealth. Although I haven't read any books, I'm still resourceful, thanks to Lv Jian. He wore a bronze mask during the war, and enemies and bandits fled when they saw him. He had a good relationship with Han Qi and other ministers who were in Korea at that time, and they all promoted him. Smooth sailing. But in the later period, his career took a big turn, he was driven out of a foreign land and died of depression. Di Qing was exiled because he was impeached. Originally, I was an equal with the Prime Minister, but suddenly I was changed, and I was depressed to death. It was Ouyang Xiu who was impeached, so Di Qing's loyal fans will blame Ouyang Xiu for not following suit.
Because at that time, all the civil servants in the imperial court had a lot of complaints about Di Qing, thinking that he was too arrogant, and even lived in a Buddhist temple because of the flood. And Di Qing himself, because he didn't read much, didn't care about these red tape. As a military attache, he is very close to civilians. What he did made all the ministers look down on him, and it can be said that he offended all the officials. At this time, even Ouyang Xiu couldn't stand it. He wrote a letter to impeach Di Qing and added some strange gods to hope to release Di Qing. Although Injong loved talents, he agreed to let him go after much consideration, so Di Qing died soon. But after careful analysis, Ouyang Xiu's impeachment was to protect Di Qing. At that time, Di Qing was under siege, and release was the best result, but he couldn't take it to heart. So Ouyang Xiu was given an excuse that he was not a completely noble person.
