Several people looked at Xie Ao with blank eyes, wanting to listen to his words, but he sold Guanzi, drank wine, and ate a mouthful of fish, and then said: "When Mr. Banshan asked Mr. Dongpo to write poems together, he asked Mr. Dongpo to buy a few Wuchang fish to help the fun, and he readily agreed, and went to the fish stall to pick up a few big bream and buy a few. ”

"This Mr. Dongpo is a gluttonous reincarnation, wherever he goes, he will never know the truth and falsehood like me!" Zhao Yu invited everyone to eat fish together.

In his previous life, he knew that Su Shi was not only brilliant in literature, but also felt that he was a standard foodie, but he was on the wrong side politically, which led to a bumpy career, and the north was degraded from south to north, and from north to south, and even Qiongzhou was not let go. But its mentality is good, and wherever it goes, you can try to find delicious food and satisfy your appetite, what Dongpo meat, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo wine and so on. As a result, those who opened restaurants in later generations were willing to use it to name their fame and have a little relationship, so that their food fame was greater than that of poetry among the people. And Mr. Banshan is Wang Anshi, who is a workaholic and does not have high requirements for the quality of life, so Zhao Yu concluded that Su Dongpo can distinguish between real and fake Wuchang fish.

"Your Majesty guessed wrong this time, it's Mr. Mid-Levels." Xie Ao said with a smile.

"Oh, that's amazing!" Zhao Yu also smiled and spit the fish bones into the slag plate.

At that time, Mr. Banshan shook his head when he saw the fish that Mr. Dongpo bought, saying that there was a fake in it. Mr. Dongpo was puzzled, and after the fish was steamed, he verified it with this method, until the bones of the last fish were thrown into the clear water, and he saw three oil splashes in the water, and then he called the fish real. Your Majesty, please see, the spines of these two fish were thrown into the water before they made a few splashes, and the minister concluded that the fish were real. Xie Ao said with a chuckle.

"Well, I see, Mr. Banshan is still a person with a heart." Zhao Yu nodded after hearing this, he knew that the reason why Wuchang fish was delicious was that in addition to the delicate meat, it was also rich in fat and unmatched by other fish.

"Wen Xiang, Gao Yu, today His Majesty gave a banquet, with his back to the river, facing tens of thousands of male soldiers in the enemy city, it seems that Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Lang patrolled the river Chibi to strategize and defeat Cao Bing. Let's follow the example of the ancients and drink a cup together! Xie Fang raised his glass and said.

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that Zhao Yu also picked up the cup, Wen Tianxiang knew that the little emperor had never drunk alcohol, and he cared about the authenticity.

"Happy today, it's okay for me to have a drink!" Zhao Yu waved his hand.

The four of them had a different taste in the face of a strong enemy eating fish and drinking wine on this big river, especially Zhao Yu saw the enemy army in the city eyeing each other, but he didn't dare to send troops to disturb him, and a pride actually rose in his heart, and he unconsciously drank several glasses in a row. At first, he thought that this Shao wine was brewed wine, and the degree would not be too high because it had not been distilled, but he miscalculated again. One is still young, and the other has never drunk alcohol for so many years, and the other did not expect that this old wine was full of energy, and he was a little drunk.

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters. To the west of the base, humanity is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time. Thinking about Gongjin back then, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, and he was heroic. Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone. The old country fugue, affectionate should laugh at me, born early. Life is like a dream, and one is still in the moon. Xie Fang drank a lot, and sang Su Shi's masterpiece during the banquet, and Zhao Yu actually echoed with a chopstick regardless of his identity.

"Which sentence is Your Majesty's favorite?" After singing, Xie Fang asked with a sip of wine.

"Of course, it's between talking and laughing, and the ashes are gone. This sentence is the most proud, and the others have more bookish spirit, but less masculinity! Zhao Yu said.

"Your Majesty has led troops to fight on the battlefield since he was a child, and he naturally loves Jin Ge Iron Horse, but he has not experienced the artistic conception!" Xie Ao shook his hand drunken and hazy.

"Hehe, what Mr. Gao Yu said is true, my resignation has been regarded as an abandonment by several masters so far, and I never dare to show it!" Zhao Hao admitted his weakness with a smile, picked up the warm wine and poured it for the other three one by one, "I still don't understand, as far as I know, Mr. Dongpo and Mr. Banshan are like fire and water, how can they recite poems together?" ”

After Zhao Yu became the emperor, he had little interest in official history, and he couldn't believe it, at least he didn't dare to believe it all. Therefore, he has a lot of interest in wild history and notes, and he feels that although there are exaggerations or his own conjectures, some things are still credible. For this reason, he collected a lot of these things, one is to find some clues from them, and the other is to relieve boredom, which is used as a pastime for hunting stories.

Wang Anshi and Su Shi are both famous and bigwigs, so many idlers' notes record anecdotes about the two. The two had very different ideologies and literary styles in the court, which led to constant personal grievances and grievances. Recalling that when Su Dongpo first participated in the system, he was sharp, and comprehensively put forward his views on the government in the policy, and all the examiners appreciated Dongpo's "Wenyi Canran" and listed it as a high rank. However, Wang Anshi, as an intellectual, thought that many of Su Dongpo's views were contrary to his previous opinions on the Wanyan Book to the emperor, so he rebuked Su Dongpo's article as a whole class of Warring States articles.

The first confrontation between the two can be described as having the smell of gunpowder, and Wang Anshi's approach is obviously to cut off Su Shi's way to enter the office. When Su Dongpo was the supervisor of the Imperial Court, he was in charge of the issuance of official vouchers, and was very dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's sophistry and sophistry, and vaguely ridiculed Liu Chang's sacrificial text, and later tried his best to oppose Wang Anshi's changes. As a result, Wang Anshi was very angry, regarded Su Dongpo as a strong enemy, and wanted to expel him from the court as soon as possible, so Su Dongpo was attacked and excluded by the reform faction.

In the second year of Xining, Su Dongpo discussed that the law of tribute was not properly reformed, and Shenzong appreciated his idea very much, and wanted Su Dongpo to revise the Chinese book regulations after meeting on the same day. And Wang Anshi tried his best to stop it, and strongly recommended Lu Huiqing to take on this position. Shenzong wanted Dongpo to repair the living note, but Wang Anshi said that Dongpo was not a "rewardable person". Wang Anshi also repeatedly persuaded Shenzong to depose Dongpo, but before Shenzong listened, Wang Anshi said that Dongpo must be treated like a "bad horse", "reduce the stubble, add flogging, and make it obedient and usable."

From the mutual exclusion of political opinions to the ridicule of each other, this is the habit of the two great scribes, and it has become a habit for the two great scribes to ridicule and belittle each other when they meet. Once, the two came to a stele forest and saw that a stele was a little tilted, so Wang Anshi said: "The eastern slope of this stele wants to be crooked!" Su Dongpo immediately sneered: "An Shi was not right at the beginning! ”。 The two are proud of their talents and do not give in to each other, which shows the whole picture.

On another occasion, Wang Anshi considered that Su Dongpo had written 25 articles of "Advance Strategy" and advocated reform, and wanted to ask him to help him advocate political views, and Wang Huai personally visited Su Dongpo with a glimmer of hope. At that time, Su was in the study room with several young scholars to discuss Wang's book "Words and Words", Wang Anshi said happily: "This is the old man to remedy the shortcomings of Xu Xu Shen's "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", such as the words 'slope' and 'du'. I think that those who think that 'slope' are also the skin of the soil, and those who are 'tuk' are also ...... with bamboo whips and horses."

However, in the year of Huizong, Cai Jing took power in order to crack down on the Yuanyou faction, and designated Su Shi as the villain, and ordered all Su Shi's calligraphy, paintings, articles and other related items to be destroyed, and those who possessed them were punished. As a result, Zhao Yu was also broken here, and he couldn't figure out how the grievances between the two ended, today I heard that the two of them had drunk and eaten fish together and composed poems, and the curiosity of the past was aroused again, thinking that the few people in front of him were all successful Confucians, and maybe they would know something about the past of the two.

"Your Majesty, Su and Wang have indeed had a bad relationship, repelled each other, and belittled each other. But after all, it is mainly based on its literary fighting, and in their later years, the two were finally frustrated in the political arena, and after reflection, they both believed that it was their own jealousy that caused the main reason for the fight between the two at that time. Wen Tianxiang replied.

"What Wen Xiang said is good. In terms of political opinions, Wang Jiefu believes that Su Dongpo is a world-class talent, a generation of loyal ministers, when Su Dongpo was convicted and beheaded in the Wutai poetry case, his life was in danger, and none of the Manchu officials with different surnames interceded for Su Dongpo. In the end, Su Shi was released and saved from death." Xie Fang said, "And Mr. Dongpo admired Jiefu's articles, learning, superhuman insights, and decisiveness, etc., and once called Wang Anshi's "Yingzong Shilu" the best written in the history of this dynasty. ”

"In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Shenzong died, Zhezong succeeded to the throne, the old party was restored, everyone wanted to overthrow all the changes, and Su Shi insisted that the new law could not be abolished. The following year, when the last new law, the Exemption Law, was also abolished, Wang Anshi could not contain the pain in his heart and died of grief and indignation. At that time, Su Shi had returned to the court, and he wrote in the draft gift to the Taifu that he spoke highly of his political enemy and poet friend in the draft gift to the Taifu: The text of Rosewood is enough to decorate all things; Extraordinary in all things, enough to move the wind. ”……

"Although they have different political views, they have never become personal enemies in the real sense, they treat each other with a calm and open-minded attitude, honest and open-minded, admire each other in literature as bosom friends, and tolerate and understand each other in politics. Several people told the anecdote between the two, indicating that they had reconciled, and Zhao Yu listened to it with emotion.

"Yes, in the battle between the old and new parties, there are only two people who are not afraid of personal honor and disgrace, and they are the only ones who speak up, and there is no gentleman in the so-called battle after Qingli." Wen Tianxiang drank the wine and drank it all.

"Wen Xiang drink less, don't talk about the previous dynasty!" Xie Ao was taken aback when he heard this, this blow was too big, especially since the emperor was still in front of him, it was very inappropriate to say such a thing, and he hurriedly pressed his wine glass and said softly.

"Why don't you let me speak? Am I not right? Wen Tianxiang put aside Xie Ao's hand.

"Your Majesty, Wen Xiang is drunk, don't blame him!" Xie Ao hurriedly saluted the emperor.

"I think what Wen Xiang said is good, it was these gentlemen who ruined the Great Song Dynasty and caused today's situation!" Zhao Yu said with a smack of his glass.

"Your Majesty......" The little emperor's words were so radical that everyone felt incredible, even incredible, Wen Tianxiang's wine seemed to have woken up, and he was surprised.

"Your Majesty, in addition to Su and Wang, Sima Guang, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, etc., who participated in it, are all famous scholars, everyone can be called a gentleman, Your Majesty may not be appropriate to say everything!" Xie Fang was right.

"Mr. Junzhi, the right to speak at the table today is a private statement, that is, it does not involve the government and politics, nor is it a dispute of will, only a debate of opinions, I will not admit it when I get off this boat, and I have never heard of what the monarch said, this is also a gentleman's covenant!" Zhao Yu thought about what he said, then drank all the wine in the cup, and threw the cup into the river to show that what he said was true.

"Okay, according to Your Majesty's wishes!" The other three listened and looked at each other and said in unison, and also drank the wine in the same way as His Majesty, and threw their cups into the river.

"I thought that the rebellion in our court should have started from the dispute between Fan Zhongyan and Prime Minister Lu Yijian, and there was a distinction between the new party and the old party; In addition, Ouyang Xiu's "Theory of Friends" also has the theory of friends, which is divided into the party of gentlemen and the party of villains, which leads to the confrontation between the two parties in the DPRK and China; Later, Xining changed the law, the struggle between the old and new parties reached a climax, and the government and government continued, so far there was no peace between the government and the opposition. Who among them can be called a party of gentlemen? Zhao Hao asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty's words are true, at that time, Lu Yi was a simple minister, he lived in Zhongshu for 20 years, he was in power for a long time, his power was too heavy, and there were many official appointments. Fan Zhongyan Quankaifeng Mansion, seeing this painting of a hundred officials, the emperor and suggested that the power of the prime minister to employ people should be restricted, and his heart was also for the country; Later, Lü Yijian called the emperor pedantic and not useful. Fan Zhongyan satirized and criticized the current affairs in four books, and also took out the "abolition of the queen" incident back then, and directly attacked the prime minister's bad family law and chaos in the government. Lu Yi simply degraded him with words that exceeded his authority. The dispute between the two seems to be a state affair, but in fact it is more like a battle of will! Xie Fang thought for a while, thinking that the dispute between the two of them was indeed not a gentleman's dispute, but more like a struggle for power.

"What you say is to the point and not biased. However, I thought that in this dispute between the old and new parties, everyone could still respect Confucianism and courtesy, and it was more subtle, so the means of fighting were relatively peaceful. At most, it is to degrade the official and exile, or to carve a stone monument and sweep away the other party's face. Zhao Hao smiled.

"Then what does Your Majesty think is wrong with Ouyang Xiu's "Theory of Friends"?" What the little emperor said made Xie Ao unable to say anything, so he asked rhetorically.

This theory can be said to transform the court dispute from a secret struggle to an open dispute, and it is very problematic for the distinction between gentlemen. It is believed that if gentlemen are connected to support each other, they can better complement each other in self-cultivation and governance. Zhao Yu said, "What he said is good, but he divides his ministers into gentlemen and villains, and those who agree with his views are gentlemen, and those who oppose them are villains, and he asks for the advancement and retreat according to this, which is undoubtedly openly creating a split, which not only deepens the hostility between the two parties, but also makes many people who stay out of the party struggle feel uneasy, and the harm is not shallow!" ”……
