Chapter 131
This night, many people are destined to have difficulty sleeping.
Gao Qiu actually regretted it in his heart. He said an act of revenge that might happen, but might not happen. It depends on the attitude of Zhang Dun, who was once Su Shi's benefactor.
But in fact, Su Shi had already felt the pressure.
Not from Gao Qiu.
It’s not Li Kui’s complaint.
But it was Zhou Yuan’s experience.
Zhou Yuan is just his disciple, and he is still a marginalized person with little sense of presence among his disciples. Even Zhou Yuan is within the scope of Zhang Dun's revenge. It is foreseeable that once the official takes charge, Zhang Dun returns to the capital
, after becoming a high-ranking official, his ordeal will really begin.
In fact, Su Shi himself was not afraid of such retaliation.
What’s there! What scene has I, Old Su, never seen before?
But the problem is that he will face the same inner panic as in the "Wutai Poetry Case". Although the "Wutai Poetry Case" initially targeted the New Party's dissatisfaction with Su Shi, a Wenzong who had a high influence in the literary world,
He complained about the New Party's harm to the people, the imperial court's misbehavior, and the emperor's stupidity... In this way, he deserves to go to jail.
But soon, Su Shi discovered that the "Wutai Poetry Case" was no longer just his business.
Rather, it was about suppressing a large group of people around his network of relationships.
At this time, he was really afraid.
So many friends and relatives were facing imprisonment because of his temporary grumbling. How could he bear it? This was the reason why Su Shi wanted to commit suicide many times. He wanted to die to let this fight against him.
The **** was declared over. At the same time, this was also the purpose of Yushitai He Zhengchen, Shu Yu, Li Ding and others, to make the case bigger again and again. Crimes committed by gangs will always be taken more seriously than crimes committed by individuals.
After several ordeals, Su Shi gave up. In the prison, he spit out more than 20 "accomplices" in one breath, and as the principal criminal, he satisfied Li Ding and others.
He couldn't say he was satisfied, because Wang Anshi, the boss, said that there was no precedent for killing civil servants in the Song Dynasty. This was the emperor's order and he could not violate it.
Seeing that the execution of Su Shi failed, he finally created a "nest case". Su Shi successfully accused himself as the principal culprit, and finally let the matter go.
The reason why nothing was done was because it deviated from the original intention of Yushitai. When the new law was implemented, Wang Anshi, who had already experienced a failed reform, and the members of the new law were extremely nervous. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would repeat the failure of that year.
So the Yushitai took aim at Su Shi. To put it bluntly, it was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and use the blood of civil servants to frighten the opponents of the new law. Since it was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, the chicken could not be an unknown person and had to have enough weight.
It acted as a deterrent. At the same time, it would not cause too intense a reaction. Su Shi was very good. He was the leader of the literary world and his reputation was a first-class figure in the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the emperor disliked him very much, so it was his misfortune.
Of course, one condition must be met: a big mouth.
It can be seen that half of the persecution Su Shi suffered back then was deliberately caused by the New Party, and the other half was brought to his doorstep by himself.
But this conspiracy failed in the end.
Yushitai's conspiracy ultimately failed in the hands of their boss Wang Anshi and second boss Zhang Dun. I have to say that this is very disappointing.
Su Shi understood all this, and it was precisely because of his understanding that he was afraid. Even though he did not die in the end, the persecution of him did not stop because of this. Didn't Su Shi bite out more than 20 accomplices in the prison?
These people needed to be punished. Almost overnight, the emperor agreed to the exile of these people. This was also the largest political exile in the history of the Song Dynasty, and more than 20 officials were affected.
Sitting together!
He has already experienced it once, and seeing that it is about to happen again for the second time, can he not be nervous?
But in fact, he is really not nervous. What he is struggling with and suffering is not because of himself, but because of other people, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, Chao Buzhi, Zhang Lei, Chen Shidao, Li Huo, etc. Who is not a pillar of outstanding talent and learning?
But because of him, these people have been working as petty officials until they are exhausted and no one knows about it.
According to most of their resumes and talents, they should be the mainstay of the officialdom in the near future. Because of the "Wutai Poetry Case", they were working as insignificant petty officials in the prime of life. The younger brother Su Zhe was in a small town.
I became a local wine supervisor, a minor official in charge of brewing and collecting wine taxes. I didn't get promoted for five years. Most other people were in the same situation. It wasn't until five years later that they, the Jinshi who had been in the official career for more than fifteen years,
Just like a newcomer in the officialdom, he is gradually getting promoted.
But without exception, they were not reused by the imperial court.
There were stains on their bodies that could never be washed away. It could be said that the political careers of these people were all delayed by themselves. Although no one meant to blame him, Su Shi's inner guilt would not follow him.
It was diluted by the passage of time.
It has to be said that Su Shi felt guilty towards his disciples. Because of him, his disciples were not taken seriously, their talents and learning were delayed, and all of them were poor... So much so that some people thought that Su Shi
The "poverty" of disciples is an attitude towards spiritual practice.
But who wants to be poor?
The next day, Gao Qiu started cleaning up Su Shi's study early in the morning as usual. Then he would select the letters to be sent and check them carefully. This was also his main daily work. Book history is the work of a secretary. According to the past
It is customary for most letters to have envelopes written high.
But that day, after he read a letter, he became restless.
He was not allowed to write the envelope, so that was no problem. Su Shi did not ask Gao Qiu to do everything for him. He wrote the letter to his brother Su Che himself. But the header of the envelope surprised Gao Qiu, and then he became angry.
He was angry at his recklessness.
At the same time, he also blames himself for his actions.
If he hadn't talked nonsense to the bachelor yesterday, I'm afraid the bachelor wouldn't have written this letter so humbly.
[Disciple: Zizhan reveals it].
The recipient of the letter is: Brother and son Houqin Qi.
Zihou is Zhang Dun's character.
There was only one voice in Gao Qiu's mind: "The bachelor has given in. How can the bachelor give in?"
Jie, this word has many meanings, but if it is used when delivering, it means that one is placed in a subordinate position. It is an honorific. For a person as famous as Su Shi, who deserves to be asked to use honorifics when Su Shi writes a letter?
Gao Qiu slapped himself angrily, and then hurriedly went to find Su Guo. Su Guo felt that Gao Qiu was in many troubles, and said strangely: "Gao Qiu, you are the only one who is in trouble, and I can't live without being an official? Gengdu Heirloom, as long as
If you feel calm in your heart, why not?"
Gao Qiu looked at Su Guo with wide eyes. He knew very well how far Su Guo's talent and learning had reached. He wanted to look up to him anyway. In his opinion, it was not difficult for Su Guo to become a Jinshi. He would definitely become a big shot in the court in the future.
.Unexpectedly, the big shot told him that his ideal in life was farming! At this moment, Gao Qiu's heart collapsed.
There is another person, Li Kui, who is considered by the bachelor to be a talented person. Although his ambition is difficult to determine, one thing that can be determined is that this guy is more willing to be a successful businessman.
Gao Qiu was so angry that he took Su Guo with him to find Li Kui. After all, Li Kui was the initiator, so let Li Kui have the headache.
On the road, Gao Qiu was very sad.
He discovered that he might be the most motivated student among the disciples of the Su family.
It's sad, isn't it?
After finding Li Kui, Gao Qiu preemptively said: "Li Kui, look at the good things you have done?"
Li Kui narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gao Qiu. People who knew his character would probably stay away. Mr. Li dared to slander him. Do you still want to eat?
Li Kui took the letter, glanced at the envelope, and asked, "Have you read the letter?"
Gao Qiu shook his head and said, "How dare I open the bachelor's private message?"
Su Guo also shook his head and said, "Isn't this not good?"
Li Kui grinned and said, "Want to see it?"
Gao Qiu was stunned and said he didn't want to see it. Would he look for Li Kui anxiously?
"You came to me with all your heart, didn't you just want to know the content of the letter?" Li Kui analyzed seriously: "But I am not the master, how can I know the content of the letter? You probably think that you can open it alone.
I believed that the fault was too big, so I roped in a second person. The second person still felt that it was not safe, and then came to me. The right way is to punish without punishing many, and this is probably the idea."
Gao Qiu and Su Guo looked at each other, had they ever had such dirty thoughts?
If you want to see it, it's true.
Because he cares about the bachelor! This is Gao Qiu's inner feeling. As for Su Guo, his curiosity was completely aroused by Gao Qiu. At the age of nineteen, his personality is quite mature and he will not show up.
My thoughts on secretly reading the letter my father wrote to an old friend. Even though this old friend has already turned against their family.
Li Kui randomly found a paper-making craftsman in the city, and spent twenty coins to have the other party's letter open without leaving any trace, and then a sincere letter acknowledging his mistake appeared in front of the three of them.
