Ouyang Xiu was falsely framed for scandal.

By the time of Song Renzong, the Song Dynasty had accumulated many disadvantages. For example, redundant officials began to appear, the gap between the rich and the poor began to widen, and social contradictions gradually became prominent. In the third year of Jing You (AD 136), Fan Zhongyan, who had deep contacts with Ouyang Xiu, began to call for reform. He blamed social problems on corruption, while Ouyang Xiu saw it more deeply and thought that redundant officials and staff were the fundamental problem. In the end, Fan Zhongyan's reform offended the vested interests, and the reform was hit. He himself was demoted to Raozhou (now Shangrao, Jiangxi). Ouyang Xiu, as Fan Zhongyan, was also implicated and was demoted to Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei) county magistrate.

When Ouyang Xiu was a scholar in high school, he married Mrs. Xu, who died shortly after her wedding. Shortly after being demoted, Ouyang Xiu married the second daughter of the late Prime Minister Xue Kui. It is worth mentioning that Xue Kui's eldest son-in-law is none other than Wang Gongchen, who won the top prize in palace examination with Ouyang Xiu. Later, Wang Gongchen's wife died, and he married Xue Kui's third daughter, thus Wang Gongchen and Ouyang Xiu became brothers-in-law. Ouyang Xiu wrote a poem to tease him, saying, "The old son-in-law is the new son-in-law, and the big uncle is the little uncle."

In the first year of Kangding (AD 14), Ouyang Xiu was recalled to the capital, and he was re-appointed as the collation of the pavilion, editing the Chongwen general catalogue, and later became known as the suggestion court. In the third year of Qingli (AD 143), he served as Right Zhengyan and Zhizhi. At this time, Du Yan, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi and others are carrying out the political system reform "Qingli New Deal". Ouyang Xiu participated in the innovation, became an innovator, and put forward the ideas of reforming official administration, military affairs and tribute law. The reform directly touched the vested interests of the imperial clan, nobles and powerful ministers. Under the obstruction of the old school, the New Deal failed again. In the fifth year of Qingli (A.D. 145), Fan, Han and Fu were successively demoted, and Ouyang Xiu wrote a defense to expose the despicable intentions of the conservatives, which was hated by the conservatives. Just at this time, Ouyang Xiu had a so-called * * * scandal, and conservatives used it to demote Ouyang Xiu as the prefect of Chuzhou (now Chuzhou, Anhui). Later, it was changed to Yangzhou, Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui) and Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan).

what kind of * * * scandal is this? It turned out that Ouyang Xiu had a younger sister who married Zhang Guizheng as a continuation room. In a few years, Zhang Guizheng died of illness, leaving Zhang, the daughter of his ex-wife, to live with Ouyang. A few years later, Ouyang Xiu married Zhang to his people. As a result, Ouyang Xiu and his sister moved more. Soon, his sister finally failed to keep her virginity, had an affair with a domestic slave and got pregnant. The matter was discovered by Zhang, who was worried that his family property would be divided by his stepmother's children in the future, so Zhang sued Ouyang, his stepmother, to Kaifeng, asking the prefect to find out whose bastard his stepmother was pregnant with, so as to drive her stepmother out of the house.

yin of Kaifeng prefecture is called yang riyan, belonging to the old conservative party, who was impeached by Ouyang xiu because of economic problems. Now, the opportunity for revenge has finally come. Yang Riyan has repeatedly forced Ouyang to admit that she was pregnant with Ouyang Xiu. Poor woman, ashamed to admit adultery with domestic slaves, could not bear to harm her innocent brother, so she had to find her own way.

Yang Riyan refused to give up. At the behest of Jia Changchao, the deputy prime minister, he joined hands with another remonstrating officer and set fire everywhere. He just poured this basin of dirty water on Ouyang Xiu. He also asked the court to immediately take Ouyang Xiu, who is working as a transit ambassador in Hebei Road, back to Beijing for strict interrogation. Wang Gongchen, Ouyang Xiu's brother-in-law, was serving as an imperial adviser (equivalent to the inspector general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate). Because he and Ouyang Xiu belonged to two different political camps, he knew that Ouyang Xiu was framed and ignored it. In this way, Jia Changchao, Yang Riyan and others are even more unscrupulous.

Because * * * is related to social corruption and the face of the imperial court, Song Renzong had to order Ouyang Xiu to return to Beijing immediately for review. In the Song Dynasty, this kind of case approved by the emperor himself was called "prison summons", which was quite serious in nature. In order to thoroughly investigate the case, Renzong personally appointed Su Anshi, the judge of the Third Division of Household Affairs (equivalent to the head of the competent laws and regulations of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission), and Wang Zhaoming, the eunuch, to be responsible for hearing the case. Su Shi 'an carefully checked all the files, and after investigation and evidence collection, he found that Ouyang Xiu was framed. He kept the bottom line of being a man, judged Ouyang Xiu innocent, and clearly pointed out that Ouyang Xiu was falsely accused. The powerful ministers were extremely angry, and soon Su Anshi was demoted to Taizhou wine supervision tax, and Wang Zhaoming was also demoted to Shouchun County wine supervision tax.

Jia Changchao and others were still not content. They sent someone to raid Ouyang's home and found an iou in his closet for Ouyang Xiu to borrow money from his sister. As an excuse, they decided that Ouyang Xiu had long been motivated to seek his sister's property. High-handed, a sap will beat Ouyang Xiu to Chuzhou as a satrap. In Chuzhou, Ouyang Xiu wrote the immortal masterpiece "Zuiweng Pavilion", and the ancient Chinese art reached maturity.

The fact that Ouyang Xiu was unjustly framed because of the * * * scandal shows that a celebrity should never get involved in the scandal, even if it is a false scandal.

Ouyang Xiu was banished from Beijing, which means that the party struggle in Qingli ended in a complete victory for the conservatives. In the following years, Zhang Dexiang, Chen Zhizhong and Jia Changchao, the conservatives, were in power in the imperial court, and the situation gradually improved until Fu Bi, the representative of the reformists, returned to the central government in the second year of Zhihe (AD 155).
