Wutai Poems

Language and characters are the embodiment of thoughts, representing a person's political views, and they may make mistakes! But Su Shi doesn't care about these things. He has a famous saying that he said to his younger brother Su Che. It's like seeing a fly in a bowl while eating, and he must spit it out!

So while "Ten years of life and death are vague", he said, "I talked about the young man's crazy" and did not forget to "turn the red pavilion, lower the beautiful house, and illuminate the sleepless". If he saw that the crops in the fields were not growing well, well, this was caused by the green seedlings, how could he write a poem to sigh? Seeing that the dishes served on the dinner tables of the people in the jurisdiction were too light, well, this was too much of the market, so he had to write a poem to condemn it?

In short, he consistently opposed the new law and spared no effort to persist...

Actually, this is nothing. The Emperor encouraged ministers to discuss the affairs of the court in the Song Dynasty. But it shouldn’t be true. He made a friend and wrote a long narrative poem wrong. This poem tells a tear-jerking story, which can be said to be the Song Dynasty version of the mother who loves me again...

It is said that at that time there was an official named Zhu Shouchang, whose position was similar to that of Su Shi, and he was stable at the level of the prefect. There were so many officials of this level in the Song Dynasty that he could not attract attention at all. But he was extremely famous in history, and he was one of the famous "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" stories. This was all because of his miserable mother...

He was born in a concubine, and his biological mother was a concubine. In the old evil society, this was a role that was destined to be miserable. Even if his son passed the top scorer, he could not turn over. Because all power and glory were with his wife, the only chance of happiness for concubines was the master's favor. Unfortunately, Zhu Shouchang's father quickly got tired of this woman and divorced her when Zhu Shouchang was very young. Basically, Zhu Shouchang had never seen his mother since he could remember. He missed her and decided to find her mother in his lifetime! This idea has been with Zhu Shouchang's life. He was looking for her when he was young, and after taking over his father's class as a prestigious official, he was looking for her after taking over his father's class when he was young, but after he was middle-aged, he never found her. He cruelly told his wife and children that I would not be an official anymore! Because he could not move around as an official, I would resign and travel all over the world. If I don't find my mother, I will not come back!

With sincerity, when Zhu Shouchang was over 50 years old, he finally found his mother in Shaanxi. His mother was over 70 years old. More than 50 years of displaced, she was aging and had several other children. Zhu Shouchang took her home, and he treated her as brothers and sisters...

This incident was widely sung, and it was still very touching even today. Su Shi was also moved. He wrote a poem that praised him very much. It is imagined that with Su Shi's talent, the spread of this poem would be very amazing... And this is how Su Shi's trouble began. The more widely this poem spreads, the more embarrassing a person - Li Ding!

As mentioned earlier: As a member of the new party, Li Ding's stain found by the opposition is that he does not mourn his biological mother. Of course, he has his own reasons: 1 His biological mother was retired from the family and according to Confucius's teachings, he does not mourn his mother. Who is his biological mother? Because she herself is dead, Li Ding's father also died, so he cannot be sure of it. So he cannot mourn!

All these are reasonable, but compared with Zhu Shouchang, his taste is too low. Compared with the two, why is the difference between the biological mother who is also retired? It is reflected in their different sons! Why can't you, Li Ding, be as filial as Zhu Shouchang? Not to mention seeking and raising her, even mourning is inhumane!

Such comments grew on a large scale, making Li Ding go in and out of dust every day, losing the minimum qualification to be a human being, and he was so frustrated! There is Su Shi's great contribution, and his poems circulated faster than the current Weibo information. So the news that originally belonged to Kaifeng's streets and alleys soon spread throughout the country...

It is said that if you hit someone without slapping the face, and if you scold someone without revealing your shortcomings, Li Ding could not find Zhu Shouchang's fault, so he had to vent his anger on Su Shi! Su Shi was also very cooperative, and poems about reform continued to emerge one by one, which was simply cooperating with Li Ding's revenge!

Li Ding compiled these poems into a collection and sent them to the emperor. It happened that Emperor Shenzong of Song was reading a document sent from Hangzhou at that time. Compared with the two, the emperor became very angry immediately!

This document was sent by the friend Su Shi interspersed by him. He was the famous Shen Kuo. To be honest, in addition to poetry and prose, Su Shi was really not as good as him in all aspects, especially the social status of the two at that time. Su Shi was the magistrate of Hangzhou, equivalent to the deputy mayor. Shen Kuo had long been a senior official and was the emperor's envoy to investigate and investigate the two Zhejiang provinces.

Despite this, Su Shi was still more awesome compared to the two. There was no way. He was the largest weapon in the entertainment industry in the Song Dynasty at that time. His charm overwhelmed everything, and even Shen Kuo could not resist it. Shen Kuo approached Su Shi with a bit of admiration.

The two could have been good friends, but unfortunately the bad things were bad in the words of Shenzong. Before Shen Kuo left Beijing, Shenzong specifically told him a sentence, "When you arrive in Hangzhou, you must treat Su Shi well"? What is good? Understanding the instructions of the superior leader is a big question. Shen Kuo came out of Beijing with this question mark and thought about it all the way, and made a foolproof decision. First of all, be friendly to Su Shi and not put on airs. If necessary, it is better to treat Su Shi as a superior. Secondly, treat Su Shi in all situations.

They all reported to Shenzong, proving that he treated Su Shi with sincerity... In this spirit, things changed. When facing such an elegant and kind leader, Su Shi couldn't help but be full of energy and spoke to Shen Kuo, including his views on the new law. At the same time, he introduced the poems he wrote to new friends one by one. Shen Kuo showed great interest, and while appreciating, he put forward the ultimate fan request to Su Shi - idol, can you copy these poems by yourself and leave them to me as a souvenir?

OK! Su Shi agreed immediately. In this way, the report Shen Kuo sent to Shenzong was accompanied by the information written by Su Shi himself. Compared with Li Ding's, the persuasion increased sharply. At the same time, Shen Kuo played a role that Li Ding did not have. He added his own annotations to Su Shi's poems and essays with his strong writing skills.

Su Shi's crime of attacking the new law, slandering the court, and even alluding to the emperor was finally established!

In July 1079, in Huzhou, in a rare sunny sky, Su Shi was about to lay down his treasured calligraphy and paintings, and a fast horse ran over and sent him a letter. This was his good friend in Kaifeng City, and the rumor about Wang Jinqing, who told him that the person who arrested him would be almost here and he could run away!

Su Shi was stunned for a while and smiled bitterly. Is it the king's land in the world? If the emperor really arrested people, where could he run? What if he ran away by himself? He simply put on his official uniform and waited for the official to come to the door. The matter afterwards was the operation of the arrest line of the Censorate. Su Shi was escorted to the capital, and what was waiting for him was the interrogation of the Censorate. To be more precise, it was the anger of Li Ding, the boss of the Censorate!

Facing great danger, Su Shi's heart is unique. Before leaving, he looked at his second wife, Wang Fu's sister Wang Runzhi, and wiped his tears for his wife and said, "Madam, during the Zhenzong period of the previous dynasty, there was a hermit named Yang Pu who was summoned to the palace. Zhenzong asked him if he could write a poem, but he said he could not, but the wife wrote a poem for him before leaving. Do you want to listen?" Wang Runzhi nodded. Su Shi smiled and said, "Haha! Listen well, don't drink wine, don't even love to recite poems. Today I will catch the generals and this time I will ruin the old man's scalp. Today I will also go to Beijing. You can't write a poem to see me off like Mrs. Yang."

The more elegant Su Shi was, the more Li Ding liked it. You were the ones you wanted! Otherwise, it would be meaningless to torture! Su Shi rushed into the capital and lived in the Wutai Courtyard. Wutai is the Censorate. This name has its origin and has been called this since the Han Dynasty. One is that there were many cypress trees in the Censorate at that time, and there were many crows living on it. The other is that it has something to do with the profession of the Censorate. These people are picking mistakes everywhere, and they are annoyed by whoever meets and cannot afford to offend them, so they collectively call them crows, and the place where they work became Wutai.

All the officials in the Wutai Courtyard were kept in charge, and local leaders like Su Shi were not as high-standard as possible. However, due to all reasons, he was specially taken care of. The interrogation was conducted by the Chief Censor Li Ding and Shu Dan and He Zhengchen and other colleagues in the Xinfa Group, and it was day and night!

Let’s talk about the daytime. Li Ding and others took turns to bombard him, asking him to explain all the poems he had written word by word. Every sensitive word could not be avoided, and there was a danger of house searching. This kind of scene is actually very common. Our nation is doing such a thing in every era, which happened half a century ago. At that time, many big figures were fighting for the waist, and they never stood up again if they bent down!

But Su Shi is different. The Song Dynasty was super relaxed and generous to literati. As long as there was a sun in the sky, the interrogation standard could be maintained in the hall. At least he could make him speak, so Li Ding and others were depressed! Su Shi was able to put his literary inquisition on the stone of the new law ancestor Wang An!

There is a line in Su Shi's poem "The roots are in the nine springs without any curvatures, and only the hibernating dragon in the world knows it." Hibernating refers to hidden, hidden, hibernating, etc., which specifically refers to the fact that the stiffness has not yet recovered. Li Ding and others grasped this problem and asked Su Shi: Now that the emperor is in power, only the flying dragon is in the sky! You actually wrote that the dragon is hidden under the nine springs. What kind of dragon do you think this hibernating dragon is? Tell me honestly!

Su Shi smiled and Wang Anshi wrote a poem, "The people in the world are waiting for the rain, but they don't know that the dragon is coiled in it." The hibernating dragon in my poem is this dragon... Li Ding and others' faces suddenly turned black. The fingers are bent and wrapped, and they are very frustrated. It is not a good word to use on the dragon!

What else is the trial? The meeting ended! On that day, Su Shi was proudly shook back to the single cell, and the censors were frozen in the interrogation room and breathed heavily. This scene was indeed very awesome and unusual, but in just a moment, the faces of the censors [31 Novel Network                                                                                                                                                                                                                       �

When it was late at night, the prisoners in Wutai Courtyard suddenly woke up collectively, and they were all trembling with fear. They heard the sound of ghosts and wolves howling one after another. Listening carefully, they could tell that the person who was crying in pain had a strong Sichuan accent?

That's right! Su Shi was blackened, and he staged the prison storm of the Song Dynasty, and was beaten in the dark! I guess Li Ding's low roar was inevitable next to him: Write it! Write it again! Let you hibernate the dragon, the dragon, now you hibernate it first... This matter was recorded by another official who was also detained in the Censorate at that time.

This should be true, and the biggest basis is Su Shi's physical condition. Before he was imprisoned, he was very healthy. After being released from prison, Su Shi had almost suffered from leg sores, hemorrhoids, infectious diseases, coughs, arm, red eyes and other diseases. He was only imprisoned for a few months. If he really followed the traditional standard of treating scholars and officials in the Song Dynasty, Su Shi would never reach this point no matter what!

In fact, Su Shi's ability to survive was also the result of the collective efforts of almost all top powerful people in all aspects, except the emperor himself.

First, there were celebrities from all walks of life: Su Zhe, Wang Yaqing, Wang Gong, Zhang Dun and others. These people had low official positions, but they were all famous people with great influence. They asked Su Shi for his appointment and were willing to use their official positions and wealth guarantees! Then, the respected old ministers such as Sima Guang, Zhang Fangping, Li Qingchen, Chen Xiang, Liu Yan, Li Chang, Sun Jue and others. They had a huge influence and often influenced the emperor's will. Unfortunately, they didn't say the point. Taking Zhang Fangping as an example, he almost helped Su Shi to death!

Zhang Fangping wrote a letter to Shenzong. Since he had retired a long time ago, he had to be handed over by the local government. However, this matter was too sensitive and no one in the officialdom dared to accept it. He sent his son Zhang Shu to Beijing to beat the drum and hand it over to the emperor. Unfortunately, Zhang Shu was too timid and wandered around the drum for the middle of the night, but he left quietly. Long after Su Shi was released from prison, he saw the copy of the letter. He was so scared that his tongue stretched out for a long time that he couldn't retreat. Others didn't understand and asked him what was wrong? He didn't explain. It was not until someone asked Su Zhe to read the letter that he knew the answer. Zhang Fangping said in the letter that Su Shi was a genius in the world and must not be killed. This was completely helping. What was Su Shi's crime? It was just that he was too famous and affected the reputation of the court! At this time, he said that he was a genius, which was completely adding fuel to the fire and forcing the emperor to take the sword!

The one who can truly tell the secret of heaven in one word and understand the emperor's psychology is the one who is well-known and slandered all over the world. He was far away in the deserted mountains of Jinling, Jiangnan, and sent a sentence to Song Shenzong, which determined Su Shi's life and death!

Wang Anshi, he has been no longer the prime minister for many years. In Jinling, people often see a simple-dressed and taciturn old man riding a donkey, no matter where the donkey goes, it is the same everywhere, and he will be at peace with the circumstances... Wang Anshi is like a believer who fulfills all his wishes, sacrifices all his promising years to the country, and then wanders around the world without desires and demands. In fact, this time he pleads for Su Shi, which was the only time he participated in state affairs after retirement. He said to the emperor, "How can he kill talented people in the holy world?" The starting point was to consider the emperor. Zhao Xu attached great importance to the reputation of later generations. If he really killed Su Shi, what would the future generations evaluate? Is it still a peaceful and prosperous era?

Shenzong was moved. At this moment, something big happened in the palace. Empress Dowager Cao was seriously ill and was about to fail. Shenzong was very filial and decided to pardon the world and pray for "grandma". The old lady shook her head: There is no need to pardon the world, it is enough to pardon Su Shi alone! He is an honest man and will not betray the court. Don't be used by villains!

On October 0, Empress Dowager Cao passed away! Faced with the last wish of "grandma", facing Wang Anshi's only letter after he stopped his prefecture, and facing everyone's plea, Zhao Xu could no longer raise the interest in repairing Su Shi. No matter what the reason was, there was no need to pursue this nerd again!

On January 0, Su Shi was released from prison and demoted to Huangzhou as deputy envoy of the regiment training. He was not allowed to leave the country without authorization or participate in any official duties. He was basically a bail prisoner.

Su Shi was alive. When he walked out of prison, he vowed that "I have been tired of writing in my life, and I will never be depressed." From then on, I will never write poems again, not belong to literature, and I will not sing and respond to other literati! There is only one purpose: to reassure the frightened relatives and friends, and live a stable and peaceful life from now on...
