The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Over the five thousand years of Chinese history, dynasties have risen and fallen and have been constantly replaced.

Every dynasty has its own glory and lights up its own light.

In the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are many celebrities who are admired by the world.

For example, Yue Fei, who was loyal to his country, the patriotic poet Xin Qiji, and the talented Lu You.

Speaking of Lu You, the first thing that comes to mind is his poems.

When his army conquered the Central Plains in the north, I did not forget to tell my father about his generosity during the family sacrifice.

It is a pity that he was broken into pieces and turned into dust, but the fragrance remains the same.

Or is it the open-mindedness of "after climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, you may think there is no way out, but when you look up, you will find another village with willows and flowers on the bank."

Every line of his poetry expresses his true inner thoughts.

"In the seventh year of Emperor Huizong's Xuanhe reign, Lu You was born in a family of officials in Shanyin, Yuezhou."

"His great-grandfather Lu Zhen was a Jinshi in the Dazhong Xiangfu period and served as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel."

"My grandfather Lu Dian was a Jinshi during the Xining period and served as Shangshu Youcheng."

"My father, Lu Zai, was a famous book collector in the Northern and Southern Song dynasties. He served as the transport envoy of Jingxi Road in the Northern Song Dynasty and the governor of Lin'an Prefecture in the Southern Song Dynasty."

"In the first year of the Jingkang reign, one year after Lu You was born, Lu Zai, then deputy transport envoy of Jingxi Road, was dismissed due to impeachment and had to return south with his family."

"At that time, the Jin army invaded the south again, and the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was turbulent."

"In November of the same year, Bianjing fell, and the young Lu You and his family were displaced and became part of the fleeing group."

"After that, Lu You fled with his father to Dongyang to avoid the war until the situation stabilized."

"Lu Zaicai returned to his hometown Shanyin with his family, and lived in seclusion from then on and never served as an official again."

"Lu You loved to study since he was young, and he started to read when he lived in Dongyang."

"After returning home from Dongyang, Lu You began to study in a private school under the tutelage of Mao Dezhao, and later in the township school."

"In this learning atmosphere, coupled with his unique passion and comprehension for poetry and books since childhood, Lu You was able to compose poetry at the age of twelve."

"Thanks to his ancestors' kindness, Lu You was promoted to the position of Shilang at a young age."

"In the tenth year of Shaoxing, Lu You went to Lin'an to take the imperial examination, but failed."

"But in the twelfth year of Shaoxing, the eighteen-year-old Lu You had the opportunity to become the disciple of Zeng Ji, the leader of the poetry world after the migration to the south."

"Zeng Ji was also a pro-war figure in the court, who advocated resistance against the Jin throughout his life. His poems and thoughts had a profound influence on Lu You."

"In the 13th year of Shaoxing, Lu You once again went to Lin'an to prepare for the examination of the Ministry of Rites, but he failed again because he was rejected."

"Soon after that, Lu You married his cousin Tang Wan."

"Tang Wan was both talented and beautiful, and Lu You and she were in love."

"After marriage, the couple loved each other deeply. Lu You wrote many masterpieces for Tang Wan to sing in the boudoir, which were praised by people."

"However, Lu You's parents were worried that their son would indulge in the pleasures of the boudoir and neglect his studies, which would affect his future."

"So they forced Lu You to divorce his wife, and Lu You had no choice but to part with Tang Wan with great pain, and then he married his second wife, Wang, at the behest of his parents."

"After divorcing Tang Wan, Lu You began to bury himself in reading to reduce his inner depression and tried again to pass the imperial examination to realize his life ideals."

"In the 23rd year of Shaoxing, Lu You rushed to the capital Lin'an to take the lock hall examination and was ranked first."

"Qin Xun, the grandson of Qin Hui, happened to be ranked behind Lu You. Qin Hui was furious and punished all the examiners."

"The following year, Lu You took the Ministry of Rites examination, and the chief examiner ranked him at the top again."

"Qin Hui was furious and demoted him, and Lu You also became the envy of Qin Hui because of this."

"It was not until the 25th year of Shaoxing, after Qin Hui's death, that Lu You began to work as Ningde Book in Fuzhou."

"Two years later, Lu You left Fuzhou and returned to the imperial court to serve as an official in charge of editing imperial edicts."

"After returning to the court, Lu You strongly argued that Yang Cunzhong, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, was not suitable to be in charge of the imperial guards for a long time, and proposed to dismiss Yang Cunzhong, which was accepted by Emperor Gaozong of Song."

"Some of the favored ministers bought treasures from the north to present to Emperor Gaozong. Lu You submitted a memorial saying that this would damage the emperor's virtue and begged for a ban."

"Lu You also submitted a memorial saying that even if someone is not a royal relative, he should not be given the title of king easily, even if he has made meritorious contributions."

Wen Tianxiang: Lu You wrote a poem "The Golden Hairpin" to recall his love with Tang Wan. It is so unforgettable and has moved people for thousands of years. It is so heartbreaking to hear!
Red crisp hands, yellow wine, the city is full of spring scenery and willows on the palace walls.

The east wind is evil and the love is thin.

Many years separated, my mind full of sorrow.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Spring is as old as ever, people are thin and empty, and the tears are red and raw.

Peach blossoms fall, leisure pool pavilion.

Although the mountain league is there, the Jinshu is hard to trust.

Mo, Mo, Mo!

This is a love poem about missing someone, and the title of the poem is "Chai Tou Feng".

When Lu You was 19 years old, he used an exquisite family heirloom phoenix hairpin as a token of trust to get engaged to Tang Wan's family.

After marriage, the couple loved each other and lived in harmony.

Unexpectedly, Lu's mother divorced Tang Wan on the grounds that she had no children.

That year, Lu You was only 22 years old.

At the age of 26, Lu You reunited with Tang Wan in Shen Garden.

After getting drunk, he wrote this poem "Chai Tou Feng" on the wall of the garden.

The poet begins by saying rosy and tender hands, and yellow and greasy wine. The rosy and tender here means rosy and crisp, which describes a woman's beautiful hands!
The poet said that in Tang Wan's rosy and tender hands, she was holding a cup filled with yellow wine.

In fact, in the early Song Dynasty, people's customs were still very open, and Lu You could still meet his ex-wife Tang Wan.

So, Lu You should have met Tang Wan and his wife in Shen Garden that day!

Tang Wan also offered Lu You a glass of wine. Perhaps it was this glass of wine that made Lu You fall in love with her again!

When the poet saw Shen Garden, the spring scenery was still there, but everything and people had changed.

Tang Wan is no longer Lu You’s Tang Wan, just like the green willows within the palace walls, which have long been out of reach!
What a sad thing this was for Lu You.

It is spring now, and the spring breeze in Shen Garden is so beautiful and warm!

But when it blew on Lu You's face, Lu You said, "The spring breeze is so hateful! It has blown away all my joy!"
It can be seen how painful the poet's heart is! He can't feel the breath of spring at all!
Finally, the poet said that life has been very bleak these years. Thinking back to the past, he could only sigh! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Lu You and Tang Wan did not divorce, but divorced. There is a huge difference between divorce and divorce!

Both Lu You and Tang Wan came from large families and both had to consider their reputation.

The reason given by the Lu family was that they had violated the seven grounds for divorce and had no children, and the Tang family had nothing to say about this!
Lu You loved Tang Wan so much, but he divorced her without considering her reputation!

This can only mean one thing, that Mother Lu hates Tang Wan too much!
In fact, Lu You had tried his best. He once hid Tang Wan in another courtyard and disobeyed his mother many times.

The Song Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety, and even used filial piety as one of the criteria for evaluating officials!

In the Song Dynasty, filial piety permeated every aspect of life.

People who do not value filial piety will not only be despised by their family, but will also have difficulty in even surviving!

Lu's mother threatened to die. If Lu You ignored his filial piety for Tang Wan, even if he succeeded in his resistance, what would it matter?
It is absolutely impossible for them to go back to the beginning. Lu You’s official career was ruined and Tang Wan’s reputation was ruined!

The final outcome of the two would only be more miserable! It was too difficult in that era!

Lu You said "wrong! wrong! wrong" three times in a row. There was resentment towards Lu's mother and pity towards Tang Wan, but more of it was self-blame.

The poet met Tang Wan again. What did Tang Wan look like?

The poet used the word "empty and thin" to mean that his beloved was no longer as charming and attractive as before, but had become thinner.

And the tears kept flowing down, even washing away the rouge on her face and wetting the handkerchief!
It can be seen how sad the beloved Tang Wan was! How could this scene not touch the poet's heart!

Maybe at this moment, the poet really felt that he was wrong! But he had no idea where to start and no choice!

Faced with his first love's tearful eyes, the poet couldn't bear to look at her even longer!
I’m afraid if I look at it one more time, I won’t be able to leave.

At this time, the poet turned his attention to the peach blossoms.

Flowers fall, idle pond and pavilion, the peach blossoms on the trees are blown down by the spring breeze, and scattered on the cold pond and pavilion.

The peach blossoms here may symbolize the poet's love.

The poet's love for Tang Wan may be like the peach blossoms in this pond, blown to pieces by the spring breeze!
Finally, the poet sighed helplessly that the vows of love made yesterday were still echoing in his ears, but this brocade letter could no longer be delivered!

Thinking back to the past, I can only sigh: No, no, no!
The three "Mo! Mo! Mo!" are sad and graceful, expressing the poet's misery to the extreme.

What a heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching love story!
Although it is impossible to verify the extent of Lu You's affection for Tang Wan, it can be seen from this poem that Lu You loved Tang Wan.

"In the 32nd year of Shaoxing, Lu You was summoned by the emperor because of his good poetry and was granted the status of a Jinshi."

"Soon after, he expressed his personal opinions and views on the court's military and political affairs, hoping that Song Xiaozong would adopt them to eliminate the current ills and achieve national unification."

"In the first year of Longxing, Emperor Xiaozong of Song appointed Zhang Jun as the commander-in-chief, commanding the troops in Jianghuai and presiding over the Northern Expedition."

"Lu You wrote to Zhang Jun, suggesting that we make long-term plans early and not to send troops rashly."

"However, Zhang Jun did not follow Lu You's advice and sent troops in April of the same year, resulting in the Song army being defeated in the Battle of Fuli."

"After the Northern Expedition failed, Song Xiaozong's anti-Jin stance gradually leaned toward peace talks."

"In the second year of Longxing, the Southern Song court and the Jin Kingdom were about to reach the Longxing Peace Agreement, and Lu You wrote a memorial to dissuade them."

"But his proposal was not accepted, and he was banished from the capital and transferred to be the Tongpan of Zhenjiang Prefecture."

"Lu You had close contacts with Zhang Jun, the then right prime minister, and followed him around, supporting his cause in resisting the Jin army."

"But Zhang Jun was soon dismissed from his post and died with hatred in his heart."

"Later, Lu You exposed the factions of Long Dayuan and Zeng Di, two of Emperor Xiaozong's favorites, for seeking power, accepting bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain."

"Song Xiaozong became even more disgusted with Lu You, and in a rage he demoted him to the position of Tongpan of Jiankang Prefecture."

"In the first year of the Qiandao reign, the forces of the peace faction had gained the upper hand in the court, and Lu You was therefore transferred to be the Tongpan of Longxing Prefecture in July of the same year."

"The following year, someone accused Lu You of making friends with ministers, stirring up trouble, and supporting Zhang Jun in sending troops, so Lu You was dismissed."

"As Lu You traveled around and went deep into the military, he also witnessed some unfair things."

"At that time, Wu Lin's son Wu Ting took over his father's military command. He was quite arrogant and reckless, and killed people many times due to minor mistakes."

"Wang Yan did not dare to blame him, so Lu You requested that Wu Jie's son Wu Gong replace Wu Ting."

"Wang Yan believed that Wu Gong was timid and had no strategy, and would surely fail if he encountered the enemy."

"Lu You believed that even if Wu Ting encountered an enemy, there was no guarantee that he would not fail."

"If he were allowed to hold the war merit in his hands, he would be even more difficult to control."

"When Wu Ting's son Wu Xi rebelled, Lu You's words came true."

"In the eighth year of Qiandao, Wang Yan was recalled to the court, and all his staff members left."

"Lu You was also transferred to be the councilor of the Chengdu Prefecture's Pacification Office and arrived in Chengdu in November of the same year."

"But after arriving in Chengdu, Lu You was just an idle official."

"With nothing to do all day, he indulged himself in mountains and rivers, and indulged in poetry and wine, but he was depressed because he was not successful."

"In the fifth year of Chunxi, Lu You's poems were brought to Hangzhou. Emperor Xiaozong was moved after reading them, so he transferred Lu You back to Lin'an."

"But this decision was opposed by powerful officials, so Song Xiaozong had no choice but to appoint Lu You as the supervisor of tea affairs in Fujian Province."

"In the sixth year of Chunxi, Lu You was appointed as the tea and salt official in Jiangnan West Road, and arrived in Fuzhou to take up his post in December of the same year."

"The following year, a flood hit Jiangxi, and Lu You ordered all counties to open their granaries and release grain."

"He personally led the officials and soldiers to transport food in small boats for disaster relief, and at the same time appealed to the court for disaster relief."

"In November, Lu You was summoned back to Beijing, but he was dismissed and returned home because he was impeached by the Imperial Secretary."

"For the next five years, Lu You lived in seclusion in Shanyin, devoting himself to poetry, books and the beautiful countryside."

"In the 13th year of Chunxi, Lu You was re-employed and appointed as the governor of Yanzhou."

"After Lu You took office, he was committed to restoring local agricultural development and production."

"He also severely cracked down on corrupt officials and won the love of the people."

Xin Qiji: This is Lu You's most sorrowful and angry poem, which has been passed down through the ages and has attracted a lot of attention.

Most of the poems written by Lu You are vigorous and heroic, similar to those of Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, so he is called Little Li Bai.

With his patriotic spirit, Lu You changed the poetic style of Southern Song literati, which had become sluggish due to the country's fate.

Lu You was a man of great intelligence, and with the guidance of a famous teacher, he was able to write and compose poetry before he was even old enough.

Of course, his immortality is mainly due to his works.

In his career, he encountered obstacles everywhere.

I have studied hard for ten years, just hoping to get my name on the list of successful candidates.

It’s a pity that Lu You won the first place and ranked before Qin Xun, the grandson of Qin Hui.

This aroused the jealousy of Qin Hui, and his career has been up and down since then.

Although he was in his prime, he was already accustomed to the world.

He even envied his friend's success and made joking remarks like "If you become rich and powerful, please don't forget me."

This pretense of indifference may deceive others but not himself. Lu You advocated the Northern Expedition for most of his life, but never received effective support from the Southern Song court.

Looking back to the past, although only three households of Chu were able to destroy Qin, now the Song Dynasty has no one capable of resisting foreign enemies.

Even though he was seriously ill, he still believed that despite his low position, he did not forget to worry about the country and even placed his hopes in the gods of heaven and earth.

Later, Lu You became famous for his poetry and was summoned by Emperor Xiaozong to be appointed as the Jiangxi Changping Tiju, in charge of granary and water conservancy related matters.

Later, someone took advantage of an opportunity to report him, so he resigned in anger and lived in seclusion in his hometown Shanyin.

When he was over 60 years old, he could do nothing to help the treacherous officials in power who led to the ruin of the country and the destruction of the people, and he was powerless to do anything when faced with the broken mountains and rivers and the devastation of the land.

Lu You could not suppress his indignation and wrote many patriotic poems full of fighting spirit.

"Book of Anger" is the most classic one among them. It feels majestic when reading it, and it expresses the author's sorrow and anger throughout the ancient and modern times.

At an early age, I knew that things were difficult, and the Central Plains looked to the north like a mountain.

The night of the building boat night Xueguazhou crossing, Tiema Qiufeng cleared.

The Great Wall is empty, and the temple has been spotted in the mirror.

After being a teacher, he is truly famous in the world, who can be among the best for thousands of years!

This poem fully expresses the poet's indignation at being frustrated, his loneliness at comparing the past and the present, and his shame at comparing the past and the present.

At an early age, I knew that things were difficult, and the Central Plains looked to the north like a mountain.

Young and full of vigor, how could one know how difficult and dangerous the world is?
Looking north to the Central Plains, the determination to recover the country is as unwavering as the towering mountains.

The first couplet expresses the poet's lifelong wish, that even if his fate is full of misfortunes, he will remain true to his original aspiration.

The night of the building boat night Xueguazhou crossing, Tiema Qiufeng cleared.

Recalling that snowy night in the past, the mighty warships galloped in Guazhou.

I still remember that year when the autumn wind was howling, thousands of horses were galloping at Dasan Pass, and good news came one after another.

The second couplet recalls the battle scenes of previous years, so full of vigor and vitality!
Compared with the current situation of repeated defeats and survival, it is so humiliating.

The Great Wall is empty, and the temple has been spotted in the mirror.

Tan Daoji, who boasted himself as a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, looked at himself in the mirror and found that his temples were already gray.

The second couplet uses allusions to show that he wants to build an indestructible defense line like the Great Wall to resist the Jin.

But historical fate is always similar. General Tan Daoji had made great military achievements, but he died due to the emperor's suspicion before he could successfully launch the Northern Expedition.

The poet was devoted to his country, but was repeatedly slandered and exiled.

After being a teacher, he is truly famous in the world, who can be among the best for thousands of years!

"The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" came out many years ago. For thousands of years, who else could be as devoted as military advisor Zhuge Liang and persist in the Northern Expedition?
The last couplet uses allusions to express admiration for the determination and deeds of the ancient sages in conquering the Central Plains.

It not only satirizes the villains of the time, but also secretly hopes that there will be a figure comparable to Zhuge Liang in the future.

This poem has a total of four lines, and not a single one directly expresses anger, yet every word is full of anger.

At that time, the peace faction was in power and they framed and killed most of the war faction, and even signed the humiliating Jiading Peace Agreement.

In such a weak country, Lu You's ambitions were destined to be destroyed.

But Lu You is, after all, a poet as famous as Du Fu, and his concern for the country never stopped until his death.

The last poem "To My Sons" is so moving that it brings tears to one's eyes.

I know everything is empty when I die, but I don’t see Kyushu in my sorrow.

Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifice never forgot to tell Nai Weng.

Flipping through the history books and poems, the dust of history floats in the light, but Lu You has always been the brightest pearl in the poetry world of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Especially the line "I set out on my journey to become famous, and who can be compared to me in the next thousand years" in "Book of Anger" is fluent and natural.

It affirmed Zhuge Liang's status among literati and advisers, and also called out to the future.

The echoes of this message have been passed down to this day, and will inspire more talented and ambitious people to have patriotic enthusiasm, allowing them to respond to Lu You across thousands of years.

"In the 16th year of Chunxi, Emperor Xiaozong of Song abdicated to Emperor Guangzong of Song, Zhao Dun."

"In October of the same year, Lu You made a memorial to Emperor Guangzong, urging him to work hard to restore the Central Plains as soon as possible."

"In the first year of Shaoxi, Lu You again submitted a memorial to advise Emperor Guangzong, hoping that he would open up the channels for people to express their opinions, take the lead in being frugal, and promote morality, but his advice was not accepted by Emperor Guangzong."

"At the same time, because Lu You repeatedly wrote memorials to the emperor advocating restoration, he was soon dismissed from his post due to the charge of mocking romantic poems by the Imperial Counselor He Dan."

"Lu You returned to his hometown again in grief and indignation. He named his residence Fengyuexuan to show his resistance to the slanderers."

"During the more than ten years since he was dismissed from office, Lu You lived in his hometown and gained a deeper understanding of the lives of farmers."

"At the same time, Lu You, who was in the countryside, was also concerned about state affairs."

"'November 4th, Stormy Days'" was written during this period, expressing Lu You's desire to fight in battle and serve his country in his old age."

"In the fifth year of Shaoxi, Han Tuozhou and others, who were in charge of cabinet affairs, forced Emperor Guangzong of Song to abdicate and supported Crown Prince Zhao Kuo to ascend the throne."

"After that, Han Tuozhou seized power and deposed and exiled Zhao Ruyu, Zhou Bida, Zhu Xi and others, which was known in history as the Qingyuan Party Ban."

"Lu You believed that this kind of power struggle for personal gain was not conducive to the Northern Expedition, and he wrote poems such as "Looking Northward" to condemn Han Tuozhou."

"After eliminating his enemies, Han Tuozhou wanted to establish his own achievements and began to prepare for the Northern Expedition."

"In the second year of Jiatai, the ban on political parties was lifted, and famous figures of the former pro-war faction were recruited, including Lu You, who had been idle in the countryside for thirteen years."

"In May of the same year, Lu You was summoned to Beijing to serve as a co-editor of national history and presided over the compilation of the "Records of the Two Dynasties" and "History of the Three Dynasties" of Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Guangzong."

"The following year, the compilation of the national history was completed, and Emperor Ningzong promoted Lu You to the position of Baozhang Pavilion attendant."

"But because of his increasingly close cooperation with Han Tuozhou, he was slandered and criticized, so Lu You retired and returned to Shanyin at the age of 79."

"In the third year of Jiatai, Xin Qiji, who had just been appointed by the court as the pacification envoy of eastern Zhejiang, went to Shanyin to visit Lu You."

"The two discussed state affairs together, and both had great expectations for the restoration of the Central Plains."

"Xin Qiji admired Lu You and saw that his house was simple and old, so he proposed to build a villa for him by the Mirror Lake, but Lu You declined."

"The following year, Xin Qiji was summoned to the court to prepare for the Northern Expedition."

"Lu You wrote a poem as a gift to Han Tuozhou, and encouraged him to assist Han Tuozhou in using military force with caution and to realize the great cause of unification as soon as possible."

"In the second year of Kaixi, the Southern Song court ordered an attack on the Jin Dynasty. Lu You could not suppress his excitement and wrote "Old Horse Song"."

"However, due to Han Tuozhou's poor selection of personnel, the Northern Expedition suffered setbacks, and he himself was killed in a coup led by Shi Miyuan and others in November of the following year."

"When Lu You, who was in his hometown, heard the news, he was filled with grief and regret."

"Because Lu You wholeheartedly supported the Northern Expedition, he was constantly attacked and slandered after Han Tuozhou's death."

"In the second year of Jiading, Lu You became ill from worry and anger, and was bedridden after the winter."

"In December of the same year, Lu You passed away from illness at the age of 85."

"On his deathbed, he improvised a seven-character poem "To My Sons" to his children and grandchildren as his last words."

"When you die, you know that everything is in vain, but the sorrow is not shared by all the nine states."

"Wang Shibei fixed the day of the Central Plains. He never forgot to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifices."

Li Qingzhao: Lu You took the imperial examination and achieved excellent results, but was expelled by the chief examiner.

A large-scale preliminary examination of the Ministry of Rites was held in Lin'an of the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu You, who was still a young and inexperienced person at that time, took part in this examination.

But what is not well known is that on the day before the exam, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty was the notorious treacherous Qin Hui.

This Qin Hui is not a good guy, the day before the exam.

He pulled the chief examiner Chen Zhimao to his side and told him explicitly or implicitly that his grandson Qin Xun would also take part in this exam.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what this means. Chen Zhimao is certainly not stupid and he also understands what this means.

However, due to the pressure of being the prime minister, he could only agree to Qin Hui's request for the sake of face, but in his heart he cursed this traitor countless times.

When the actual exam came, Lu You and other candidates answered the questions seriously.

When the examiner Chen Zhimao was marking the test papers, he saw that Qin Xun's test paper was full of the views of his grandfather Qin Hui.

Seeking peace with the Jin people, ceding land and paying compensation to them, and advocating peace, there is no positive attitude at all.

There were also the two words "Qin Hui" in his name, which made Chen Zhimao very angry.

Chen Zhimao himself is an upright person. He is honest, fair and just in his official duties.

When I see articles like Qin Xun's, I feel sick and disgusted.

In fact, in the historical scene at that time, the Jin people were powerful, and the Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, submissive and oppressed by the Jin people.

The entire Song Dynasty was filled with such weak words, saying things like negotiating peace with the Jin people and not intensifying the conflict between the Song and Jin countries, which would bring disaster to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Song should adhere to the policy of maintaining peace with Jin and dismiss the pro-war factions and anti-Jin generals.

But when he turned to another article, he found that it was very different from many other articles.

He advocated resistance against the Jin Dynasty, was passionate and insisted on restoring the country by force.

He denounced the theories and ugly deeds of capitulationism and expressed his ambition to sacrifice his life for the country.

Moreover, the writing is fluent and brilliant.

Chen Zhimao was so impressed that he praised it repeatedly and immediately decided to rank this article first.

Regardless of Qin Hui's pressure, Qin Xun's article was rated second.

It was not until the results came out that I realized that this excellent article was written by Lu You.

Lu You was born into a prominent family during the transition period between the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties.

I have known what war means since I was a child and have seen too many of them.

Because of the war, they were displaced, their families were broken up, and their wives and children were separated.

Therefore, it was because Lu You developed a sentiment of concern for the country and the people that he was able to write such good articles.

When the results came out, Qin Hui was very angry when he saw that his grandson was not first, and he wanted to tear Chen Zhimao to pieces immediately.

But under pressure from public opinion, he ultimately couldn't do it.

But Qin Hui did not let Lu You go. He decided to make Lu You pay the price for getting first place next time.

During the re-examination the following year, Lu You lived up to Chen Zhimao's expectations and wrote another good article.

Unfortunately, it is not often that a good horse meets its master, and the examiner for the re-examination was a close confidant of Qin Hui.

Although Lu You wrote good articles, he was manipulated by Qin Hui.

The article that falsely accused Lu You contained words that undermined the friendship between Song and Jin. He should be disqualified from taking the exam and thrown into prison.

And Chen Zhimao, as his chief examiner, should be thrown into jail for choosing such a person as the first.

In fact, at that time, everyone in the capital knew what kind of person Qin Hui was, a treacherous minister.

He framed Lu You because he wanted his grandson to be the number one. Everyone in the capital knew about this.

But due to Qin Hui's position as prime minister, no one dared to speak out.

When the emperor heard about this, he did not throw Lu You and Chen Zhimao into jail.

Because he knew Qin Hui's thoughts, it was Qin Hui who framed them.

Instead, in the last subject, the palace examination, Qin Hui's grandson was ranked last.

The first place was given to another talented person, which prevented Qin Hui's conspiracy from succeeding.

But in the end, Lu You was expelled by the chief examiner of the re-examination, ending up in regret.

But after not being admitted, Lu You was not unhappy at all, but was very free and easy.

He should have held a grudge against Qin Xun, but he didn't do so.

Instead, when he visited Beijing, he also visited Qin Xun.

The two of them were drinking and chatting happily, looking like good brothers, very free and easy.

A few years later, after Qin Hui's death, Lu You began to emerge.

Lu You made progress step by step through his own efforts, and finally made the emperor notice him.

He often gave advice and told the emperor his thoughts and opinions.

When the emperor was greedy for comfort, he was warned not to do so and to be diligent in government affairs.

When the emperor was indulging in pleasure, he warned him not to waste his time and, as a ruler, to set an example.

His little suggestions made the emperor notice him, and he often listened to his insights and warnings.

From then on, Lu You embarked on a political career.

When war broke out between the Song and Jin dynasties, Lu You took the lead.

As a general of the Song Dynasty, he guarded his own land, remained firm in his childhood dream, defended his country, and never surrendered to the Jin people.

He also met many good friends there, such as Xin Qiji.

Both of them are patriotic poets, with the same talent and the same mutual admiration.

In the end, Lu You was angry at the court's inaction in the face of Jin.

He bowed his head to Jin, and was extremely angry. Eventually, he became ill due to worry and anger and was bedridden.

When he was dying, he still sighed: "When the king's army conquers the Central Plains, don't forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice." (End of this chapter)
