The Summoner of the Battle of All Realms

Today, he is going to summon five civil servants.

This Wei Zhongxian obviously does not count.

Following Fusu's movements, a summoning card appeared in front of Fusu again.

Fusu looked at the character on the summoning card and his eyes lit up again.

The character on the summoning card is none other than Sima Guang, whom I learned in elementary school textbooks.

The story of Sima Guang smashing the vat has been circulated for a long time!

Sima Guang is a native of Sushui Township, Xia County, Shaanxi Province. He was born in Guangshan, Guangzhou, so he is known as Mr. Sushui in the world.

Politician, historian and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the first year of Baoyuan reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang ascended to the rank of Jinshi and was promoted to the direct bachelor's degree in Longtuge. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, he left the court for fifteen years due to his opposition to Wang Anshi's reform, and presided over the compilation of the first chronicle-style General History and Zizhi Tongjian in the history of Kyushu.

He served as an official in the four dynasties of Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong and Zhezong. He was given the posthumous title of Taishi and Wen Guogong after his death. He was gentle, humble, upright and hardworking. He boasts that "when the day is insufficient, the night is followed". His personality can be regarded as a model under the teachings of Confucianism and has always been admired by others.

Sima Guang wrote many works in his life, mainly Wen Guowen Zheng Sima Gong's Collected Works, Ji Gu Lu, Sushui Ji Wen, Qianxu, etc.

Sima Guang was born in Guangshan, Guangzhou. At this time, his father Sima Chi was the magistrate of Guangshan County, so he was named Guang. When he was six years old, Sima Chi taught Sima Guang how to read. When he was seven years old, he could not only recite Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, but also speak clearly. He also did something that shocked Jingluo by "smashing a vat to save a friend".

Later, Sima Guang set out from Tokyo with his father Sima Chi, passing through Luoyang, Tongguan, Baoji, crossing the Qinling Mountains, and heading to Guangyuan, Sichuan, where he served as the transfer envoy to Lizhou. When he encountered a giant python on the plank road, he calmly held a sharp sword and plunged into it. The tail of the giant python made the giant python tremble in pain and rolled down the unfathomable plank road.

Sima Guang's erudition came from many aspects. On the one hand, he was eager to learn and knowledgeable, and on the other hand, his father also focused on cultivating him. He is honest, smart, and very sensible, and is deeply loved by his father.

At the same time, Sima Chi would always take him with him whenever he travels or talks with colleagues and close friends. The influence of his ears and eyes made Sima Guang "as awe-inspiring as an adult" in terms of knowledge and insight.

Sima Guang made great achievements in history, but in politics he was very pedantic and stubborn.

To use an old saying, it is called "short-sighted" and "competitive."

Fusu couldn't help but secretly shook his head regarding Sima Guang's politics.

He ruined the great situation that Wang Anshi worked so hard to create and made the Northern Song Dynasty return to its original appearance.

Queen Mother Xuanren was the backend of the opposition to the reform in the previous court. After taking power, she invoked conservatives such as Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo to the government, and various anti-reform forces gathered together.

Sima Guang opposed the new law under the banner of "replacing mother with son". He put all the responsibility for the reform on Wang Anshi, attacking "Wang Anshi was not up to date with the political system, was biased, messed up the old rules, and misdirected the late emperor's appointment." Then he completely negated the new law and slandered the new law as "taking advantage of the wrong and discarding the good and the bad." "It's called loving the people, but it actually hurts the people; it's called it's beneficial to the country, but it's actually hurting the country."

Most of the new laws were repealed, and many old laws were restored one by one. For example, the draft law was restored within five days by Cai Jing of Kaifeng Prefecture in accordance with Sima Guang's order. The harm to society was even more serious than before in Xining. The money accumulated through the reform was also "irrationally dissipated" during the years when the anti-reform faction was in power.

At the same time, we spare no effort to crack down on the reformists. Zhang Dun once refuted Sima Guang's proposal to restore the service law one by one. The anti-reform faction mobilized all Taiwan's remonstrance forces and repeatedly attacked and expelled Zhang Dun until he was forced to lose his job. The reformist officials who were listed as pro-party members of Wang Anshi and others were all demoted. Among them, Cai Que, who wrote poems about Che Gaiting, thought that they were all related to ridicule, and was demoted to die in Xinzhou. Everyone in the reform camp was in danger and fearful. Lu Huiqing did not dare to drink cold water after being relegated, for fear of getting sick and being used by the opposition.

Seeing this, Fusu couldn't help but yelled, "What a piece of shit!"

After reading the following things, Fusu became even more angry!

Regarding Xixia, they inherited Xining's previous compromise policy and ceded the recovered four villages of Anjiang, Jialu, Futu, and Mizhi to Xixia in order to gain peace for a while. These perverse actions have aroused widespread dissatisfaction in society.

People with a clearer mind once advised Sima Guang to put himself in the shoes of the young Song Zhezong. If someone teaches "father and son righteousness" in the future and instigates Zhezong to oppose today's "replacing mother with son", the consequences will be disastrous.

Sima Guang said: "If Heaven were like Zuo Zongshe, nothing like this would happen!" Sima Guang and his successors ignored the young emperor, which increasingly aroused Zhe Zong's dissatisfaction. After Zhezong took office, he said that he "only saw his buttocks and back" while listening to the government behind the curtain, and reprimanded the opposition for not understanding the meaning of monarch and ministers. After the death of Empress Dowager Xuanren, the anti-reform faction that restored the old system collapsed and suffered a doubly heavy blow. ..

Chapter 1409 Sima Yi’s uncle, general card

Sima Guang's greatest contribution was in history. He presided over the compilation of the historical masterpiece of Jiuzhou - "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

During the Xining reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang strongly opposed Wang Anshi's reform and asked Shangshu to be appointed as a foreign minister.

In the fourth year of Xining, he was sentenced to Yushitai in Xijing. From then on, he lived in Luoyang for fifteen years and did not care about political affairs.

During this leisurely period, Sima Guang presided over the compilation of the chronological history book "Zizhi Tongjian".

Sima Guang's Duleyuan Garden was both his residence and the location of the Zizhi Tongjian bookstore.

The environment here is beautiful and the style is simple. Its bookstore was established by imperial edict when it was in Bianjing. In addition to Sima Guang, the famous scholars Liu Shu, Liu Xun and Fan Zuyu at that time all participated in the work of the bookstore.

Among them, Sima Guang is the editor-in-chief, Liu Shu, Liu Tong, and Fan Zuyu are co-editors, and Sima Guang's son Sima Kang is responsible for reviewing the text. After Sima Guang came to Luoyang, he moved the "Zizhi Tongjian" bookstore from Bianliang to Luoyang. Not only the staff of the bookstore lived in Duyuan, but famous sages from Luoyang at that time, such as Er Cheng, Shao Yong, Wen Yanbo, etc., also often came here to gather. It can be called an academic center.

He said in "Jin Zi Zhi Tong Jian Biao": "My muscles and bones are now frail, my vision is dim, I have few teeth, my consciousness is exhausted, and I forget everything. I have exhausted all my energy in this book."

Sima Guang devoted his whole life to this book, but he died from overwork within two years of its completion. From the inception of the rules to the final draft of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", Sima Guang wrote it himself, and it was not the work of others.

"Zizhi Tongjian" is the largest chronicle of Kyushu, with a total of 294 volumes, covering ancient and modern times, starting from the early Warring States period when Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin Dynasty, and ending with the Five Dynasties - Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou.

At the end of the year, before Zhao Kuangyin destroyed Hou Zhou, it was one thousand three hundred and sixty-two years.

The author records the historical facts of these 1,362 years in sequence according to the era, using the years as the longitude and the historical facts as the latitude; the causes and consequences of the major historical events and the connections in all aspects are clearly explained. It is clear so that readers can understand the development of historical facts at a glance.

Hu Sansheng, a historian during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, said: "If you are a ruler and do not know "Tongjian", you will want to govern but do not know the source of self-government; you will hate "chaos" but do not know the art of preventing "chaos". If you are a minister and do not know "Tongjian", you will There is nothing above to serve the king, and there is nothing below to govern the people... It is like using troops to march, creating laws and systems, but not knowing the reasons why the ancients gained and learning the reasons why the ancients lost, seeking victory and defeat, seeking profit And harm is inevitable."

Wang Yinglin said: "Since the beginning of the book contract, there has never been anything like Tongjian." Wang Mingsheng, a great historian of the Qing Dynasty, said: "This is an indispensable book in the world, and it is also a book that scholars must read."

When Liang Qichao, a famous scholar in modern times, commented on "Tongjian", he said: "Sima Wengong's "Tongjian" is also one of the great texts of heaven and earth. Its grand structure and rich source materials make it inevitable for future generations who want to write a general history. It was used as a blueprint, but so far no one has been able to cure it. Duke Wen is also a great man!"

"History of the Song Dynasty" commented on Sima Guang and said that Xining's new law sickened the people, caused turmoil in the country, and loyal words and slanderous comments were frustrating and ineffective. The ministers who gathered together will advance day by day, and the people will be oppressed by them for twenty years. At this time, Guang retreated to Luo, where he would live forever. In this world, the wise men and gentlemen, as well as the mediocre men and foolish women, lead them day and night to look forward to them as prime ministers, and sometimes call them on the road, hoping that they will not go to the court. How can it be achieved by everyone with their mere talent and wisdom? It is the result of great virtue and sincerity.

······

As for other aspects, it’s okay not to mention them.

Fusu looked at the summoning card in front of him.

A mixture of joy and sorrow.

Fortunately, Sima Guang is indeed a talented person, but he is a bit of a cheat when it comes to politics.

Fortunately, Sima Guang is stuck in his ways and doesn't have a big vision, but he won't hold him back.

After thinking about it, Fusu summoned Sima Guang.

He had heard the story of Sima Guang smashing the vat since he was a child.

······

Following Fusu's movements, a figure gradually appeared in front of Fusu, it was Sima Guang.

At this time, Sima Guang was in an old state, not a young one.

At this time, Sima Guang was also at his peak.

Sima Guang, his head is too big.

Things that cannot be accepted.
