Chapter 631: The Su Family Brothers
readx;
Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, has been very busy recently, and after resting for two days, he explained the matter of Chang'an to Changshi Yuxuan and went out to inspect. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
To the outside world, it is said that it is to inspect the armaments of various states, but in fact, it is to meet with the generals and officials of various states to reassure people. Although Guanlong is such a big place, if it is a state or a county, it will take a lot of time, and Zhao Zhao does not have this time at all.
Therefore, they all go to key places and then gather officials from nearby states and counties to come and meet. Judging from the current situation, the attitude of the officials is not bad, after all, the king of Qin and the official family have not publicly broken up. As for the issue of obedience, although they are court officials, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the top boss King Qin is by his side, so the officials know it in their hearts.
Zhao Zhao also knew that it would be impossible to make all these people swear allegiance to the death in a moment. As long as they don't hold themselves back, they don't secretly communicate with Zhao Ji.
The most important thing is the generals who led the troops, these people themselves have a close relationship with Zhao Zhao, and the main purpose of meeting them is to appease people's hearts. Greet them in person, promise future benefits, and truly return to your heart.
Yaozhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Qinzhou, it took almost a month to walk down, and in early June, Zhao Zhao returned to Chang'an from Qinzhou, passing through Fengxiang, and he decided to visit his friend Su Shi.
When Su Shi heard that King Qin had arrived, he immediately came to greet him. Regardless of the issue of standing in line, now that he is an official in Fengxiang, King Qin is the top boss, so he naturally has to be particularly respected. Moreover, he and Zhao Zhao have also been friends for many years, even if their identities are different now, the love is still there after all.
"See King Qin!"
Seeing Zhao Zhao, although Su Shi is a free and easy person, he can see Zhao Zhao's time. It's still inevitable that there will be some restraints. After all, it's been a year. When we met again, there was already a difference between the monarch and the minister.
"Zizhan doesn't have to be polite. I haven't seen you for a year, are you okay? Zhao Zhao smiled, as approachable as ever.
Su Shi said with a smile: "The blessing of Emperor Tuorenzong, I was fortunate to come to Fengxiang back then, and I expanded the Fengchi Pond at the beginning, and now I am just right to enjoy the coolness!" ”
In the sixth year of Renzong Jiayou, Su Shi was transferred to Fengxiang Mansion as a signing judge, and he was an official here for several years. Now it is the second time that he has been an official Fengxiang. However, the position changed from signing to knowing.
Fengxiang has a lake here, the original name is drinking Fengchi, the legend is the first year of King Wen of Zhou, there is a Ruifeng flying over, drinking water here and getting the name. By the time of the Song Dynasty, it had been silted up and dilapidated. After Su Shi arrived, he led the Phoenix Spring in the west of the city into the pool, dredged and expanded, planted willow and lotus root, and built several pavilions, which became one of the beautiful scenery of Fengxiang.
"What Su Zizhan said about East Lake?"
"King Qin knows?" Su Shi was flattered. Because it is not far from the east gate of Fengxiang, it is called East Lake by the locals. The dignified King of Qin. It was a bit of a surprise to know about the lake in a small place. Could it be that King Qin pays more attention to himself?
How could Zhao Zhao not know Fengxiang East Lake?
When I was in college in my previous life, my roommate was from Fengxiang, and I often mentioned the East Lake expanded by Su Dongpo, and the scenery was pleasant. Therefore, Zhao Zhao has always kept it in mind, but he has never had time to visit. Unexpectedly, by mistake, he happened to come to Fengxiang in this time and space, and Su Shi personally accompanied him.
Zhao Zhao said with a smile: "I heard that the East Lake is picturesque, and I want to visit it!" ”
"I can't ask for it, I happened to have a banquet in East Lake, near the lake to enjoy the lotus, the breeze is gentle, it is a good place to enjoy the cool in summer." Su Shi was naturally happy, the East Lake was expanded and renovated by himself, and it was his honor that King Qin was so interested!
The group soon came to the East Lake, and took a look, the blue waves rippled, the willows on the shore of the lake swayed, the strange stones stood in a forest, the green bamboos were in groups, the pavilions and pavilions were exquisitely laid out, and the buildings were simple and elegant. Just in full bloom, dotting the lake, the scenery is infinitely beautiful.
The willow planted more than ten years ago has grown up, hanging down tens of millions of willow silk, rippling in the breeze, soft and cool with a hint of coolness. People say that the water of the West Lake and the willows of the East Lake are indeed worthy of their reputation. With Su Shi's taste, the design will naturally not be bad, it can be described as a small bridge and flowing water, winding paths and secluded, and ingenuity.
In June, the lotus flowers in the lake are in full bloom, all the way through, the faint fragrance is refreshing, especially a gust of wind blows, the wind swings the lotus leaves, the lotus flowers reflect the sun and red, it is even more beautiful.
Zhao Zhao said with a smile: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red, such a scenery can also be seen in East Lake!" ”
These two poems were made by Zhao Zhao during the banquet at the West Lake one day when he was in Hangzhou, and Su Shi remembered clearly that King Qin was catching up with himself!
Su Shi smiled: "Yes, it's just that East Lake is slightly smaller than West Lake!" ”
Zhao Zhao also thought it was funny, Su Shi was really not good at being an official in his life, and the poems and articles naturally did not say, and there was another commendable place that was the scenic spots. The Su Causeway of West Lake in Hangzhou, the West Lake of Yingzhou, the Fenghu Lake and the Peace Lake of Huizhou, the Chibi Lake of Huangzhou, and the East Lake of Fengxiang are all closely related to Su Shi.
Just because of his own appearance, Su Shi's development trajectory has quietly changed. Now he is afraid that he will no longer be able to go to Huangzhou and Huizhou, and he will not even have the title of Dongpo monk. "Nian Nujiao? Chibi Nostalgia" and "Water Tune Song Head? When will there be a bright moon", I'm afraid there will be no classics like that.
It is a pity that there are some literary classics missing, but if it can change the bleak fate of Su Shi in the second half of his life, it is not a good thing. A generation of writers, a rare talent in a hundred years, why bother him so much?
Zhao Zhao was thoughtful, Su Shi only thought that King Qin was touching the scene, and he didn't think that it would be related to his fate.
"It's really smaller, even the Qujiang Pond in Chang'an is not as good as Hangzhou West Lake, but it's also good to be small, and it's a little more elegant between the small and exquisite." Zhao Zhao came all the way and was full of praise for the scenery of East Lake.
Su Shi said with a smile: "The minister set up a thin wine in the Junzi Pavilion to catch the wind and wash the dust for the King of Qin, please move Your Highness!" ”
Junzi Pavilion is right in the middle of West Lake, and there is a small bridge connecting to the shore. The site of the pavilion is very famous, the lake surface is coincidentally divided into three, the pavilion is surrounded by chess, between the shore and Zhu, the weeping willow, the green bamboo, the flowers and trees are intertwined, it can be called wonderful.
The guards all stayed on the shore, and the only small bridge guarded by Li Cheng as a personal guard, and entered the Junzi Pavilion with Su Shi.
At this time, it was noon, and it was very hot, but it was extremely cool in the Junzi Pavilion. The breeze blows, bringing the coolness and humidity of the lake, which is really a great place to escape the heat and cool down.
"Zizhan is very good at enjoying it!" After the three of them sat down, Zhao Zhao praised repeatedly.
Su Shi said with a smile: "The King of Qin praised it falsely, as a minister, shepherd one side, and be loyal to the king." Always have to complete official duties, and only after managing the civil affairs of a state do you dare to play and enjoy a while. How dare you abolish the public for private purposes and be content with pleasure? This East Lake, on weekdays, the people of Fengxiang come more, and today I learned that His Royal Highness was coming, so I emptied the retention. ”
"It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the king, Zizhan is right, it is true!" After Zhao Zhao finished speaking, he seemed to be smiling and silent.
Su Shi suddenly woke up, King Qin was actually asking himself, the so-called loyalty to the king, which king is the king? Is it the current official family or His Royal Highness the King of Qin?
For a while, Su Shi was a little silent. It is true that he is good friends with Zhao Zhao, and it is not false that he is an official in the northwest, but when it comes to the battle between the official family and the king of Qin, Su Shi actually does not want to participate. Throughout Su Shi's life, his position and achievements in the court were not as good as those of his younger brother Su Zhe. He was a man of great learning, but he was not a good politician.
On the issue of Wang Anshi's reform, Su Shi did have a clear attitude, and the ups and downs of the second half of his life were also closely related to this. But when it comes to the battle for the throne, he didn't want to have any attitude. In his opinion, as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. As a magistrate, as long as you handle government affairs well and do your duty well.
But now, when King Qin asked him face to face, he had to make a choice.
"His Royal Highness is in charge of the military administration of the northwest by the will of Emperor Renzong, and the minister is the governor of Fengxiang, so he should obey his orders!" Su Shi knows very well that whether it is his current position, his relationship with Zhao Zhao, or his judgment of the future, he can only choose Zhao Zhao.
"That Fengxiang's matter is hard to see, my father saw the test papers of you and Ziyou in the past, and said that he would find the prime minister's talent for future generations. Zizhan, there is still a long way to go, and your brothers have a great future! ”
Zhao Zhao encouraged, but he knew it in his heart. In terms of being an official in politics, Su Shi still has a gap with his younger brother Su Zhe, and when he was in Yanzhou, Su Zhe did not hesitate for a moment at all, and said that he would be loyal to him. Zhao Zhao didn't think that Su Zhe was speculating, he knew that Su Zhe could see his situation clearly.
The Su family had a close relationship with Zhao Zhao, and he and Cai Jing made great contributions to Goryeo because of Zhao Zhao's recommendation. For this alone, they were already regarded as the people of the King of Qin, at least Zhao Ji, an official in Bianjing, would think so. So does the Su family have any other choice?
Su Zhe was a decisive person, initially he agreed with Wang Anshi's change of law, and worked in the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions. But when he saw the situation of the change clearly, he immediately turned his face with Wang Anshi and quit the new party. Now that he has to make a choice between King Qin and the official family, he will not hesitate either.
In addition to being forced, Su Zhe also had confidence in King Qin, and he was willing to bet his life on the line. In contrast, Su Shi hesitated, lacking his younger brother's sensitivity and decisiveness. Zhao Zhao didn't think he was wavering, maybe Su Shi didn't think much about it at all......
That's it!
The Su brothers can be effective, and that's enough. Their influence among the world's scholars is self-evident, and what Zhao Zhao needs more is such an advertising effect. As for Su Shi and Su Zhe's future achievements, it depends on themselves, as long as they have talent, they will definitely appoint others.
After the major event of Fengxiang's trip was determined, Zhao Zhao was in a good mood, and he and Su Shi pushed the cup to change the lamp, chatting about the world, and it was not intimate.
After a glass of wine, Zhao Zhao leaned on the side of the pavilion, blowing the wind near the water, so comfortable. Glancing over the lake, I looked at the pavilion in the distance, and a girl with a remarkable demeanor was looking this way. (To be continued......)
