Chapter 111 Su Shi
Some people are depressed and depressed before their deaths, but after their deaths, they become famous, and even famous. Some people were famous in life, but after their deaths, they were unknown and gradually forgotten. In contrast, the luckiest thing is that he was beautiful during his lifetime and will be famous for a hundred years after his death.
Su Shi, Su Zizhan is such a character!
The titles of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, the great poets, the great writers, and the titles of "Su Xin" are enough to be admired and admired, but they are all titles and evaluations of later generations. However, at this moment, Su Shi's talent is famous all over the world, and even famous overseas, it is the leading star of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not an ordinary scenery.
Jiayou was a second-year jinshi, the third class in the subject examination, an outstanding figure in the past hundred years, and he was in high school with his brother Su Zhe, which is passed down as a good story. His lyrics were all the rage in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was the famous trick of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, or the lady in the boudoir, or the literati were very fond of it. Even the Empress Dowager Cao is his fan, and at this point among the literati, Su Shi is the best of the best.
Maybe his career will be unsuccessful in his later years, but at least for now, Su Shi is proud. Although many people think that his appointment as a general judge in Hangzhou this time is a demotion to an official. But Su Shi himself was very happy, and he knew the reason very well, so he didn't have any negative emotions.
Since receiving the appointment, he set off from Bianjing and went south along the canal, preparing to go directly to Hangzhou. However, Su Shi is too famous, and there are constant invitations at various ports, although Su Shi has been shirking, he still delayed a lot of time. Unfortunately, there was a flood in Suzhou and was delayed for several days. I received the appointment at the end of April, and it was already the end of May when I actually arrived in Hangzhou.
Today, Su Shi arrived in Hangzhou, and as soon as the news came out, the wharf was already crowded with people, surrounded by a large area. Lin Zhao came a little late, so that he could only fall far behind. Looking at the scene in front of him, he sighed with a smile:
It's really hard to be a celebrity, throughout the ages, it's better to be!
Looking at the situation, it is not easy for Su Dacai to carry out his work smoothly in Hangzhou! It seems to have been a mistake for the emperor to send him to preside over the investigation of the Hangzhou salt case...... After a while, the boat finally appeared in the field of vision, and the shore suddenly cheered, which made the business travelers of Hangzhou Prefecture busy for a while, fearing that the order would be chaotic and someone would fall into the water. The atmosphere of the scene seems to be no less than that of superstars in later generations, and the charm of Su Dacai's talent is really not ordinary!
Lin Zhao's eyes widened, he was engrossed, ready to take a look at Su Da's talented demeanor and have a long insight.
The ship finally docked, the cabin finally opened, and the first to come out was a man in sackcloth, presumably a retinue or something. I saw the man walk to the side of the boat and shout loudly: "Thank you Hangzhou Father for being so enthusiastic, it's just ...... It's just that Su Tongju had abandoned the boat and landed in Suzhou when he was in Suzhou, and he didn't know if he was in Hangzhou, so he was not on the ship at the moment. ”
What the? Su Shi is not on the ship?
There was a burst of exclamations on the dock, what is going on? Su Dacai played everyone? There were all kinds of shouts and sighs on the dock, and the order was suddenly extremely chaotic.
Many officials from Hangzhou who came to greet them also looked at each other, looking at each other, unable to explain why. What does Su Tong judge to do? Put on a show or play people like monkeys? Feelings have been basking in this for a long time, and the sun is waiting? Such a hot day, alas! There is no such fanatical worship of talents in the officialdom, and Su Shi has offended some people to some extent by making such a false shot.
Lin Zhao looked at it in his eyes from behind, and he understood a lot about the slight incomprehension. Su Shi's ability to learn is good, why has he been up and down in the Shenzong Dynasty, and his career has been bumpy? There is no reason for this. But this can't be blamed on him, looking at today's posture, even if he really arrives, I'm afraid the situation won't be much better?
It is not easy to come to Hangzhou from it. Everything has a two-faced surname, in the final analysis, Su Shi was not harmed by the name of his talent!
Get! Since Su Dacai had no intention of meeting, we had to return disappointed, Lin Zhao turned around and left! Go straight to the West Lake, it's okay to see the scenery, and then it's not bad to take a turn at Mu Sihong!
From the initial temptation, to the later explicit hints, it has been mentioned many times on the flower boat. Lin Zhao always felt that Mu Sihong would say something to herself, but the beauty had been unmoved, just like someone who was fine, she didn't say a word.
Speaking of which, Lin Zhao is really skeptical, is Mu Sihong's surname good enough, pretending to be confused? Or is she just thinking too much about herself, and she really doesn't know anything?
But it's too early, Lin Zhao has time, and his surname is enough, so he often goes on the boat to see the beauty of the beauties, and listens to the piano and tastes tea, which can be regarded as a kind of fun!
Lin Zhao rode the white dragon and soon came to the West Lake, and was about to go to the broken bridge, but was stopped by someone.
"Dare to ask, but Lin Zhao Gongzi?" A small guy appeared on the side of the road and said hello.
Lin Zhao nodded and said, "What, is there something wrong?" ”
"My master wants to invite my son to come over!" The little guy replied respectfully.
"I don't know what your master is called?" Lin Zhao was a little puzzled, and he didn't know who suddenly came forward to invite.
"The master of the house is over there......"
Looking along the fingers of the little servant, I saw a young scribe from a distance, with a long scarf and a folding fan, walking over, looking personable.
"I've heard Lin Dongyang's name for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to see it, and I regret it, but now I finally have a chance." The young scribe approached, folded the fan in his hand, and bowed his hand in a very chic manner.
Lin Zhao turned over and jumped off the horse, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency is polite, Lin Zhao can't afford it, I don't know what to call it?" ”
"Haha, I'm ......"
Before the young scribe could answer, Lin Zhao's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he said tentatively: "Is your surname Su?" ”
"Su Wen Lin Dongyang is very smart, and he really deserves his reputation!" The young scribe was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing.
With such a demeanor, such a dress, and such a speech, on the ground in Hangzhou right now, apart from Su Shi, will there be anyone else? At this moment, I finally have the opportunity to observe this great talent up close, although he is not as good as a crown jade, but he is also suave, gentle and approachable.
Dressed in ordinary scholar's clothes, although he was already in his old age, he looked like a young scribe in his twenties. The Wenxiu temperament of the scholars in Shuzhong is obvious, all in all, that breath can be completely matched, and it is not something that ordinary people can pretend to be. What's more, Su Shi immediately showed the holy decree of Emperor Zhao Ji to prove his identity.
Lin Zhao shook his head and said: "Compared with Su Tong's judgment, I am really willing to bow down...... Because I just came back from the docks, and your Excellency is really tall...... But this time I should be the luckiest person in Hangzhou! ”
Immediately, the two looked at each other and laughed, Su Shi naturally knew that he had played the smart and clever Lin Dongyang.
"There's no way!" Su Shi said: "This time, I was ordered by the emperor to go south on an errand, but there were many delays on the way, for fear of delaying the important task assigned by the emperor." I had no choice but to make this decision. ”
"I understand it below!" Lin Zhao said with a smile: "But in this way, it has disappointed many people, and I am afraid that the reputation of Su Tongju is not very good." ”
"What is he doing with a little flashiness?" Su Shi was righteous and awe-inspiring, and waved his hand and said: "I can't control so much, I can't control the king's luck, bear the king's worries, and the will of the official family is important." ”
"Well, that's what Su Tong said!" Lin Zhao now understands a little, why the so-called talents in ancient times would desperately want to take the imperial examination and get ahead.
No matter how famous a talented man is, after all, it is just a false name, not as beautiful as later generations imagined, and Liu Sanchang's life is the best proof.
It is completely different to enter the official career as an official, first of all, a meritorious name has an identity, is respected, and has a relatively high social status. The most important thing is that it can be used by officials, and the ultimate purpose of scholars in ancient times is to use it for the world. Only by becoming an official can we realize our ideals and ambitions.
Su Shi is no exception, so what he cares about most at the moment is the case in Hangzhou, and he even went to Hangzhou quietly at the expense of offending everyone.
"How did Su Tong recognize him? Please forgive me for taking the liberty of being here? Lin Zhao was puzzled by this.
Su Shi said with a smile: "When I was in Bianjing, I heard about Your Excellency's appearance, and as for today, when I first arrived in Hangzhou, I wanted to enjoy the picturesque beauty of West Lake. Second, I heard that Lin Dongyang has been here often recently, and the beauty has an appointment, so I came here to see if there is any luck!
Coincidentally, the white horse with similar appearance, incomparable to the divine horse, and extraordinary bearing, these unique things, who else will there be besides Lin Dongyang? ”
"Haha, Su Tong praised the judgment falsely, I really dare not be ashamed!" Lin Zhao smiled, in front of Su Dacai, he really didn't have much pride.
Before arriving, Su Shi had been a little worried, but after meeting at this moment, his mood was much calmer. At least Lin Zhao did not disappoint him, he was young and promising, approachable, and communicated very smoothly. The most important thing is that Su Shi feels respected. Not as a talent, but as an official's respect.
Lin Zhao has a strong Wang imprint on his body, and Su Shi knows exactly what kind of goods those so-called disciples of Wang Anshi in Bianjing are. Just because of a piece of paper to dissuade Wang Anshi from changing the law, he was made all kinds of insulting and even insulted. But I didn't see it in Lin Zhao, which shows that the official family keeps emphasizing that this son is extraordinary and true.
He has always been polite to him, and there is no falsification in his words and demeanor, Su Shi is still quite pleased. However, he would never know the real reason for Lin Zhao's respectful attitude.
Su Shi asked: "Before leaving, the official family confessed, and when I arrived in Hangzhou, I asked you about the situation first, I don't know if the killing of more than 40 illegal salt dealers is eyebrow-raising?" ”
"There are some clues, I'm waiting for Su Tongju to help!" Lin Zhao said: "Find a place to talk, how about we talk about it?" ”
