Chapter 29: Looking Back at the Sky (11)

Han Gang slapped the table and scolded twice, and then lowered his voice, he was going to the Teaching Department to wait for good news, but he didn't expect to receive such a fucking reply from Su Dongpo.

Han Gang really couldn't believe that the person who wrote this sentence would be Su Dongpo, who has been famous through the ages, but no one can learn this style. The fate of a woman, in Su Shi's eyes, turned out to be a tool for him to show his literary talent. and Cai Qu, who actually reversed his word, and Han Gang also wrote down this incident.

However, Han Gang also knew that Su Shi might not know the relationship between Zhou Nan and himself, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing that would damage his reputation and attach himself to the clan. If he could have known the reason for Zhou Nan's sudden application for divorce, his verdict would have had a different result.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Even if Zhou Nan applies for divorce again, unless the official who took over the matter in Kaifeng Mansion clearly wants to get along with Su Shi, he will forward it to Dasu and let him wipe his ass by himself. And this verdict, Su Shi himself is inconvenient to change, otherwise the charge of being careless and acting repeatedly will fall on his head - his political enemies will not let him go.

Han Gang, who was sitting outside Zhou Nan's boudoir, sighed helplessly. Originally, I wanted to have two ways to go, but I didn't expect Cai to be untrustworthy, so Su Shi inserted a lever from it, and it became the current field. If you were on your own, things wouldn't have come to this point.

Fortunately, this matter has spread all over Tokyo City, giving Han Gang a lot more means. He raised his head and smiled presumptuously, still the same old saying, "I'm just afraid that things won't make a big fuss!" ”

There is still room for redemption in this matter, and he has no intention of dragging it out anymore, so he has to get up and say goodbye.

"Sister!" Suddenly, Mo Wen's exclamation came from the inner room, "Official, come in quickly!" My sister wants to scratch her own face! ”

Han Gang's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly rushed into the inner room. saw Zhou Nan holding a pair of scissors to slash at his face, and Mo Wen was desperately pulling her arm to prevent her from ruining her peerless complexion.

Han Gang stepped forward and snatched the scissors from Zhou Nan's hand. On his cheeks, which were as white as jade, there were already a little beads of blood the size of a grain of rice. Snatching the scissors, Han Gang was shocked and said angrily: "Nanniang, what are you doing!?" ”

Zhou Nan sat on the edge of the bed, and Fang Cai's struggle made her hair all scattered. His shoulders shrunk and he was so fragile that he could break at the touch of it. There was no sparkle in the empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul. The voice was also undulating, with an ominous calm: "Su Tuiguan refused to let go, all because of my face." If he ruined this appearance, how could he force me to keep me again?! ”

"This is a good way......" Han Gang's slightly cold voice made Zhou Nan's body tremble. Mo Wen also jumped up in shock and exclaimed, "Official! ”

Han Gang continued calmly: "But you have to discuss this matter with me first." Although you and I have no matchmakers, we have a three-life covenant. You are all mine, if you want to hurt yourself, you have to ask me first, let me be an official nod, right? ”

Han Gang said domineeringly, and Zhou Nan smiled reluctantly, unable to hide the sourness and despair in his smile. The flawless face was full of sadness, but it added to her a bit of beauty that was out of the world.

"Don't worry." Han Gang affectionately pinched Zhou Nan's cheeks, which were as white as curdled milk, and smiled confidently, "I believe that your family officials are fine." Outside the male lead, inside the female lead. I'll take care of the outside affairs. ”

The firmness in Han Gang's words added a sense of security to Zhou Nan's panicked heart, she looked up at Han Gang's resolute eyes, and asked with teary eyes: "Official? ”

"Don't worry!" Han Gang returned Zhou Nan with a more confident smile and stood up, "In the past two days, I will let you leave this ghost place in style." ”

Han Gang turned away, his broad and firm back made Zhou Nan's eyes blur, and he forgot his sadness for a while.

………………

The public case of Zhou Nan's divorce is related to the royal family, and it is inseparable from a scholar with a small name, and there are also painful results, the legend in the mouth of the whole storyteller is an excellent gossip topic. In just one day, it spread all over the inner and outer cities of Tokyo, large and small restaurants, tea houses, and yamen official residences, and people could talk about this news. Naturally, there are a lot of them that are not worth Su Shi's actions, which is in stark contrast to Cai, who was praised by Shilin because of his overbearing.

Even Zeng Bu is not exempt from vulgarity, and talked about it here in Wang Anshi.

"Su Zizhan is also confused, look at this matter ......"

Zeng Bu's tone of regret was full of schadenfreude. Si Nong Temple, which is in charge of the implementation of the new law, has become relatively relaxed in the previous year, and it will only be tomorrow in February, when the art of war will be put into effect, and the law of exemption from military service will be spread throughout the country, and then it will be busy again. Therefore, in the afternoon of this day, I had time to chat with Wang Anshi about the day after reporting work.

But now he regrets it, and he made a random judgment without asking the inside story. Su Zizhan's reputation is probably a little bad in the Fengyue Field from now on. ”

Wang Anshi was very calm, without the overt schadenfreude of Zeng Bu and others. just nodded from time to time, which was a response to Zeng Bu.

There is no way, who made Zeng Bu suffer a loss when he was arguing with Su Shiting some time ago. If it weren't for the Son of Heaven pulling the shelf, Wang Anshi would have taken out the identity of the prime minister to oppress people, and he would have been defeated......

In terms of eloquence, there are few people who can compete with Su Shi, and there are few people who have patrolled the court. Lu Huiqing can be counted as one, he once refuted Sima Guang in the court to the point that he couldn't speak, and he also took Han Qi's recitals to reject them one by one, as the so-called 'face folds Ma Guang in the banquet, and the court argues Han Qi's recital', but Lu Huiqing has returned to his hometown to guard the system, and he will not appear in Tokyo within two years.

Zhang Dun can barely be counted as one, and there have been cases where Wen Yanbo was impatient. But he and Su Shi have a deep friendship, even if they have different political views, they will not be blushing in official affairs.

And Zeng Bu's eloquence is far behind, he is not known for his tongue, and when he meets Su Shi, he can only be bullied by him. In my heart, I have been blocked for several months, and it has been blocked until now.

Su Zizhan's judgment actually pushed King Yong to the cusp of the storm. Everyone said that he had been instructed by King Yong. Now some people say that he attaches to the prince and his virtue is worrying. Zeng Bu's eyes flashed with joy. Originally, he had some opinions about Han Gang, but now he wanted to invite Han Gang to have a good drink.

Wang Anshi finally sighed, he could understand Zeng Bu's mood, he was bullying Su Shi miserably, but always saying these words would also be undignified as a minister.

"'The scholar doctor donated his relatives and abandoned the grave, so that he could follow the Quartet, and in addition to exterminating his strength, he also wanted to have fun, and this person was also very affectionate. If the disadvantages are too great, and the kitchen is rumored, it will be like the ugly wind of the dangerous state, and I am afraid that it will not be a peaceful spectacle. [Note 1] 'Remember this paragraph?' Wang Anshi suddenly asked Zeng Bu.

Zeng Bu frowned and thought for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Is it a passage from Su Zizhan's opposition to the Exemption Law the day before yesterday?!" ”

Wang Anshi nodded. That passage is Su Shi's heart.

The scholar left his hometown to become an official, although it was for the sake of the Son of Heaven, but also to be able to have fun because of it, otherwise why say goodbye to his relatives, stay away from the countryside, and come out to travel all over the world?

Now the imperial court has abolished the law of errand service and replaced it with exempt money to hire people to do things. What used to be a free labor that worked as cattle and horses in the homes of officials in addition to working hard in the yamen has now become a servant who must be hired for money. It's okay to use the yaqian to do something under your own door, but you can be impeached if you use public money to hire servants.

Therefore, when the exemption law was implemented, the manpower in the officials' homes became overstretched, and Su Shi complained in the recital that the officials' homes were 'too withered, and the cooking was too bad', just like the situation of a small country in danger, not the scene that should be seen in today's peaceful and prosperous times.

Wang Anshi saw Su Shi's personality very thoroughly, and now most scholars and doctors think the same way. Their so-called benevolence is given to the people by them from above, not by empathizing with the people as if they were hurt, and pushing others with themselves.

"I don't know if Su Zizhan is blaming himself for making a clean woman unable to get out of the Sect Division, or is he regretting it because he ruined his reputation?"

Wang Anshi's words were sharp and penetrating, Zeng Bu felt a little embarrassed, in fact, he was also gloating about Su Shi's reputation, but he didn't think about Zhou Nan's affairs.

Zeng Bu followed Wang Anshi for a long time and knew his character. Although Wang Anshi admires Su Shi's literary brilliance, he has a lot of criticism about his words and deeds that he let go and does not care about it. Academically speaking, Wang Anshi admired Mencius and attached great importance to the 'people', while the scholarship of Su Shi and his father and his younger brother, in the eyes of Wang Anshi and others, was close to the first-class of Su and Zhang.

With a dry cough, Zeng Bu proposed: "Anyway, Su Zizhan blocked Zhou Nan's declaration of citizenship. Han Yukun must have been disappointed. He's not there to be appeased. ”

"Zhou Nan let her get out of the country, and there is no shortage of her in the Teaching Workshop Division. However, now that this matter is too big to be moved. I'll talk about it in a few months. Wang Anshi smiled, "The Son of Heaven actually knows that this public case of Lu Dao should have the idea of adult beauty, and then let Han Yukun ask the Son of Heaven for grace." As for appeasement, Zhang Zihou will do it, Zixuan, you don't care. ”

"Yes!" Zeng Bu nodded in agreement. "By the way," he asked Wang Anshi again, "Yuan Ze should be almost there, right?" ”

Speaking of the most proud eldest son, Wang Anshi added a smile to his face: "It should be in these days!" ”

Note 1: This passage is from the recital of Su Shi Xining in February of the fourth year. Because in this book, the exemption law has been implemented in advance, so this recital has also been introduced in advance.

ps: I read the book review area and said that I smeared Su Dongpo in the previous chapter. But Su Shi's obstruction of people from redeeming themselves is not a fabrication, but a historical fact. During his tenure as the general judge of Hangzhou, there was first an old official prostitute who asked for relinquency, and his judgment was 'Nine-tailed wild fox, from the good one', and when the Oiran in the Hangzhou Workshop also wanted to take the opportunity to redeem himself, his judgment was the paragraph that appeared in the previous chapter, 'Mu Zhounan's transformation, although this meaning is commendable; The group of empty Hebei north, please do not allow'. In terms of character, Su Shi is not bad, at least better than his younger brother, but he is a standard scholar, don't expect him to consider things from the perspective of the people at the bottom.
