In the first month, the smell of the New Year has not yet dissipated, the gatehouse tree is still hung with red lanterns, full of joy, in the streets and alleys, occasionally firecrackers sound, that is the children carefully saved, continue the New Year's happiness.

All kinds of shops have been open for a long time, in fact, they have only been closed for one Chinese New Year's Eve, and since the beginning of the year, some people can't wait to open.

There is no need to doubt the diligence of the common people, and it is precisely because of this that Su Shi is not hungry, yes, Dasu is back!

It has been four years since he was framed and left Beijing last time, and Su Shi once swore that he would never return to this sad place, and he would never want to see those who made him nauseous again.

But he still came back, and in four years, Su Shi figured out a lot, in fact, compared to ordinary people, his little bitterness, that little grievance, is really nothing.

No matter how dirty and sad the capital is, but this is the core of the empire, if you want to really save the people, you must influence the decision-making of the capital, and a decree here is more effective than his struggle for 10,000 years.

What's more, today is the third anniversary of the death of the drunkard, as the heir to the mantle, Da Su has to burn paper on the teacher's grave no matter what, and express his sorrow.

Just three years ago, the New Politics Society completed its legislative work and was approved by the emperor, and the power operation of the Great Song Dynasty entered a new era...... Ouyang Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, there was no worry in his heart, the old man's body collapsed quickly, he was bedridden all winter, and then barely passed the Spring Festival, when he learned that the remnants of the Khitan fled to the Western Regions, and the Jurchens also obeyed the order to pursue the Khitan, Ouyang Xiu smiled.

That night, he asked his sons to set the wine and drink together to celebrate, and the old gentleman was radiant and sang and sang...... When he was young, he was bent on the Great Song Dynasty, and together with Fan Zhongyan, he promoted the Qingli New Deal, and the failure of the New Deal was a fatal blow to the old gentleman......

"I tried my best for my father, and it ended miserably. The Six Arts Academy, unintentionally planted willows, but fruitful. For more than 20 years, Pingxi Xia, destroyed the Khitan, and passed through the Western Regions...... I am in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and flourished in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The father can finally tell them with peace of mind......" The old gentleman turned his head, his eyes were white, he couldn't see his sons, but every face flashed in his heart...... After a while, Ouyang Xiucai sighed and said: "Listen, since ancient times, prosperity and decline have been the most fatal, and the generation of my father is powerless, I can only watch you!" Don't ruin your ancestors' family business! ”

After speaking, Ouyang Xiu didn't talk about these anymore, but just raised his glass and drank frequently, until in the second half of the night, the old gentleman was drunk, he curled up on the leather cushion, with a smile on his face - pawn!

……

Ouyang Xiu died, in a blink of an eye, it was three years, Su Shi came to the east gate of Luoyang, in front of the old gentleman's grave, as the leader of the literary alliance of the Great Song Dynasty, the prime minister, and the important minister, Ouyang Xiu's grave is not luxurious, nor is it vast, just a small piece.

But in front of the old gentleman's grave, the incense is endless, the flowers are spread, and people come to pay their respects almost every day...... Su Shi also burned the paper, he took out a bottle of Yulu elixir and poured it into the cup for the teacher.

"Sir, I can finally get drunk, and I don't have to worry about the common people, the court, or us students who are not angry......"

Da Su thought about it for a while, got up to leave, but found that there was a tall and burly guy standing not far away, it was Zhang Dian, this guy was looking at it with a smile.

"Brother Zizhan, I thought you had some great writing, and you wanted to recite it in front of the teacher's grave to express your sorrows! I didn't expect it to be a bottle of wine, which really insulted your reputation as the number one talent in the world! ”

Su Shi snorted, "Zhang Zihou, don't tease me, tell you a word, my brother doesn't have the heart to write poems and lyrics, and this life is gone!" ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, Zhang Dian immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, I haven't seen you for several years, you come to my place for a drink and reminisce about the old feelings!" ”

Su Shi glanced at him, what do we two have to talk about, although it wasn't you who plotted against me back then, but you kid watched from the wall, don't think I don't know, and also, you have a lot of dealings with Wang Anshi's family in private, when everyone else is blind?

In the past, Su Shi might have started a fight with Zhang Dian, although he might not be able to fight.

But after several years of training, Su Shi has changed a lot.

He smiled, "Okay, I have something to ask Brother Zihou for help." ”

Zhang Dian was surprised, when did Da Su talk so well? He was surprised, even a little flattered, and hurried to invite him to his home.

"Brother Zizhan, what do you want to eat, do you want to make elbows, the chef in my house is not bad......"

"Don't!" Su Shi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you listen to me, get some cabbage and boil it in water!" ”

"Huh? This, can this be eaten? Don't want something else? Zhang Dan hesitated.

"Then add some more salt."

At this moment, Zhang's face collapsed, who made him owe his mouth and took the initiative to ask Su Shi!

There is no way, I can only follow Su Shi's meaning, get a little boiled cabbage, in front of the two people, and put a dish of salt, the kitchen is really attentive, and the bad vegetable leaves outside are thrown away, leaving only a fist-sized cabbage heart, but no matter how you get it, it is all boiled cabbage, Zhang Dian stared at him widely, and he didn't know how to eat it at all.

"I said, Brother Zizhan, do you want to eat boiled cabbage? That's the best of your Sichuan cuisine, I'll let them make it? ”

"Forget it, all I want is boiled cabbage!"

Su Shi said, picked up a vegetable leaf, dipped it in a little salt, and actually ate it.

Zhang Dian couldn't do it, so he followed suit, and he swore that he had never eaten such an unpalatable thing in his life...... It doesn't taste at all, it's really hard to swallow.

He could only spit out secretly and put down his chopsticks, "I said Brother Zizhan, what do you think, just say it directly, don't test the foolish brother, will you?" ”

"Alas!" Su Shi sighed, "Brother Zihou, this is not bad, I have seen it with my own eyes, there are workers in the vegetable market, picking up the cabbage leaves that have been thrown away, they are all frozen, and they are taken back to cook, and they are eaten with salt water, not even a little food!" ”

"Huh? How could it be so miserable? ”

Su Shi smiled, "Brother Zihou, you used to say that I was naïve and unsophisticated, but now I want to say that you don't know the suffering of the people...... A few years ago, when Xijing Bank was disposed of, there was a wave of unemployment...... The workers have no work to do, they want to go home, and they are worried that they will not be able to catch up when the work will start, so they can only wait in the city, it is good to have rotten cabbage to eat, and there are still people squatting in the sewers, cold and hungry, how can a big official like you know! ”

Zhang Dun took a deep breath, revealing a thoughtful look.

He pondered for a long time, "Zizhan, if I'm not mistaken, do you want me to help relieve the unemployed workers?" ”

"It's not relief, it's insurance!" Su Shi said: "Industrial development has peaks and valleys, off-seasons and peak seasons, but people's stomachs can't wait, two meals a day, one less will starve...... I believe that workers should be provided with an insurance policy, so that after losing their jobs, they can receive basic living expenses within three months, giving them enough time to find their next job. Su Shi said very seriously: "Brother Zihou, this is about the morality and politics of tens of millions of people - you have done so many immoral things, just to accumulate some yin gong for yourself and your family!" ”

One second Zhang Dian was listening attentively, but the next second, he turned his face!

"Su Zizhan, you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth!"

Zhang Dian was furious, he was angry, but he really listened to it, this is a good proposal...... He reached out and grabbed Su Shi's shoulder.

"I'll do it, let's not really be rabbits, I'll take you to a big meal."

Zhang Dun pulled Su Shi and found a mutton restaurant, and the two of them asked for a private room, a steaming hot pot, shabu with thin slices of meat, it was really enjoyable.

After destroying more than a dozen plates, Zhang Dian said: "Brother Zizhan, do you know the political meeting? ”

Su Shi snorted, "I'm not blind, deaf, can I not know such a big movement?" ”

"Do you know what they're going to do?" Zhang Dian asked further.

"What are you going to do? What does it have to do with me? ”

"It's a big deal!"

Zhang Duan pulled a chair and leaned next to Su Shi.

"Zizhan, that's the case, Zhou Dunshi entered Beijing yesterday!" Zhang Dian said in an exaggerated tone: "This old man is not good! ”

Who is Zhou Dunshi?

This man was a physicist and wrote a famous article called "Ai Lian Said".

Someone is about to pout, isn't that person Zhou Dunyi?

In fact, these two are the same person, in the original history, it was Zhao Zongshi who became the emperor, and Lao Zhou changed his name to Zhou Dunyi in order to avoid secrecy, but in this time and space, Zhao Zongshi had already hung up, and the old gentleman naturally did not need to change his name.

As a master of science, Zhou Dunshi is an upright official, with many disciples, and he resigned a few years ago and went home, and wrote several important articles, which had a great influence in the academic world.

Especially after Ouyang Xiu's death, some people even buckled the hat of the conscience of the Great Song Dynasty on Zhou Dunshi.

"Grandma's, that's how they took advantage of it...... If the drunkard is still there, how can he let the surnamed Zhou snatch power! ”

Su Shi was confused, "Brother Zihou, what happened to you with Mr. Lianxi?" As for the bad language? ”

"I said Zizhan, are you really confused or fake, the matter is clear...... Why did Zhou Dun come to the capital? He just wants to snatch the throne of the council! ”

Su Shi had no heart or lungs, and continued to eat mutton shabu, "Grab it, grab it, what's the use of what you tell me?" ”

"Oh, Brother Zizhan, why don't you understand! The Parliamentary Assembly shoulders the hopes of the people, and if it is really achieved, the authority will be extremely heavy, and those of us in the DPRK will be held hostage by the Parliamentary Assembly. ”

"Oh...... But I'm in the wild, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

Zhang Dian almost died of anger, "Zizhan, let's make it clear, can you find a way to invite the master out, if his old man can come with a loose mouth, there will be nothing to do with Zhou Dunshi!" ”

"Let my brother-in-law enter Beijing?"

Su Shi scratched his head, "I'm afraid it won't work!" ”

"Why?" Zhang Dian was puzzled.

"He keeps pandas at home, and he can't pull away!"
