Chapter 193 Discusses in detail the "Wutai Poetry Case" and cares about the fate of the poet.

Ouyang Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked over happily, Concubine Wen invited him to sit down, and decided to listen to it first, and he must have a good time!

"Good news, good news, good news!"

"Lord Ouyang, what are you happy about?" Concubine Wen asked in surprise.

"Niangniang, have you forgotten that the old man is in charge of the tribute of the Celestial Empire?"

"I thought you were only in charge of the rituals and sacrifices of the world, please continue."

"Su Shi ran a school in Danzhou University, promoting the style of study, so that many people traveled thousands of miles to Danzhou, learned from Su Shi, maybe he will end the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, Hainan has never had a gray history of Jinshi and the first, maybe within a few years, there will be tribute here."

"Lord Bachelor, I really didn't disappoint the imperial court and the palace." Concubine Wen praised.

"My lord, I have heard that 'dragons give birth to nine sons, each with their own talents'. Can you tell me an interesting story about the relationship between Su Shi and his younger brother Su Zhe? ”

"Well, the old man knows a little about this, first of all, he said that their personalities are different. Bachelor Su is too straightforward, while his younger brother Su Zhe is much more sophisticated; Su Zhe is full of scheming and wisdom, for example, when he was 19 years old, he sent a letter to the Privy Lieutenant Han Taiwei of the current dynasty, which was appreciated, and soon became an official, which can be described as a success; Another time, in the Wutai poetry case, Su Zhe went to visit his brother in prison, saw two poems written by Su Shi for himself, felt that it was beneficial to his brother's lawsuit, and deliberately cried to attract the attention of the jailer, but the jailer took the poem away and presented it to the court. The emperor thought that Su Shi was not a big crime, so my dynasty gave birth to a saying called 'witty as Su Zhe'! ”

"It's so interesting, thank you, Lord Shangshu. May I ask what is the 'Wutai Poetry Case' that shocked the government and the opposition? "Concubine Wen likes to know why.

"Because Master Su is a straight person, he once wrote a poem "Yongjuni", which has "the root to the nine springs without a curve, the world only knows the dragon". These two sentences were accused of being a hidden assassination emperor: talking about what emperor is like a flying dragon in the sky, but the bachelor wants to look for a dragon under Jiuquan, and the heart of disobedience is clearly revealed, which can be said to make some people's teeth cold and outrageous! Accuse him of rebellious words, because words are the voice of the heart. As a result, a big case involving 39 relatives and friends of Bachelor Su shocked the government and the opposition because of Shen Kuo's whistleblowing, which was the famous Wutai poetry case, Su Shi was imprisoned because of this, and his life and death were uncertain. Ouyang Hui was about to continue.

Concubine Wen suddenly remembered that Shen Kuo was still a well-known figure in the Celestial Empire, and suddenly felt dazed and puzzled, and asked, "My lord, what do you say is the most complicated thing?" According to the palace, the heart of a person is more than seven petals? ”

"Yes, this Lord Shen Kuo, but there was an encyclopedic scientist in our Song Dynasty, he was a geographer, physicist, mathematician, chemist, medical scientist, astronomer, or water conservancy expert, weapons expert, military strategist, and wrote the scientific classic "Mengxi Writings".

"Bengong has already said that focusing on producing beauty, since he is so good at science, why can't he get along with his friends in Bengong?" Concubine Wen got to the bottom of it.

However, in addition to many great accolades, Shen Kuo is also a master of reporting and exposing, and he has done the work of the literary prison very villainly. He has an extremely sensitive sense of political smell, and is good at smelling out the smell in other people's poems, chasing the wind and shadows, and going online. The object of Shen Kuo's report was Su Shi, the pinnacle of our dynasty's literary circles, who provided this poem to those in power, and almost put Su Shi in prison. ”

"Which of them is older?"

"Shen Kuo is 5 years old."

"Maybe because of political discord, or because of jealousy and jealousy, they put each other to death and hurry up, and it is another case of bullying the small with the big, which will add a big joke to future generations." Concubine Wen said with a cold face.

"Who's to say it isn't? The emperors of several dynasties all regarded Su Shi as a genius, and even the grandmother of Shenzong at that time often read Su Shi's poems, and Emperor Shenzong also spoke good words in front of Shen Kuo unintentionally, to the effect that it was best to live in harmony with Su Shi and not to have bad relations. ”

"This is called 'the belly of a gentleman who knows the belly of a villain'."

"How does this story come to light? How did it resolve later? ”

Concubine Wen was asking energetically, Fuqing was unrelenting, she wanted the queen mother to hug her.

Concubine Wen happily took the child, hugged in her arms, Concubine Xian also asked someone to send the child, the beauties and Lord Ouyang walked and chatted in the beautiful and pleasant imperial garden, and the rest of the beauties sought the realm of happiness and forgetfulness, Concubine Wen felt that there were Zen machines everywhere, and they could always enhance their knowledge and self-cultivation.

"A few shocks in a day is like the weather changes three times a day. His youngest son, Su Mai, went to the prison every day to deliver food, and at that time he made an appointment to send only vegetables and meat, and if there was bad news of a death sentence, he would send fish instead, so that he could prepare in advance. One day Su Mai ran out of money, went out to borrow money, and entrusted a friend to deliver food, this friend did not know the rules, sent Su Shi a smoked fish, Su Shi was shocked, thought that the murder was more auspicious, and wrote two desperate poems to send his brother Su Zhe. One of them is that 'the holy lord is like the spring of all things in the sky, and the minister is foolish and dies by himself.' Before a hundred years of debt repayment, it is even more tiring to have no return. It is a green mountain where bones can be hidden, and he is alone on a rainy night. and Jun are brothers in this life, and they are married in the next life. Second, it is 'the frost of Baitai is bleak at night, and the wind moves to block the moon from going low.' The dream is like a deer in the heart of the clouds and mountains, and the soul is like a chicken. The rhino horn in the forehead is a true gentleman, and the cow clothes behind him are ashamed of the old wife. Where is the 100-year-old iQue? Tongxiang should be in the west of Zhejiang. ’”

"Hey, it's really a mistake, it makes people shoot the case, how can this make the unruly poet calm and calm, the poet is a man, not a god. The ill-fated poet was frightened alive, and I am afraid that he will lose ten years of life. Hey, a penny, how many heroes have been stumped, and half a sentence has not been explained clearly, almost scaring the bachelor to the west. ”

"Yes, the mother is so understanding, the old man admires, admires!"

"My lord, it's really an exaggeration."

"Fortunately, the life of the bachelor who values love and righteousness and brotherhood should not be extinguished, and finally the danger is saved."

"The old man also secretly heard a touching story of Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers encouraging each other to overcome the catastrophe of life, so one of them finished the 'Wutai Poetry Case', and the other successfully took root in Leizhou because of the silent nourishment of this story."

"Oh, I'm going to talk about it soon, it's a very new thing." The beauties urged in unison.

Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe told a story about a man named Meng De, who liked the deep mountains and old forests since he was a child, and when he grew up, he became a soldier. Once, when he was guarding Qindi, he saw that the mountains in that place were steep and steep, so he escaped from the barracks in one breath and fled into the mountains.

On the way to escape, he exchanged his clothes for a knife and ten pieces of bread. The bread was quickly finished, and he had to eat grass roots and wild fruits. He knew that he was caught, and he was dead; starvation, death; Eaten by tigers, leopards, jackals, or dead. In any case, he is also dead, so he is not afraid of anything. Where the mountains are deep, he drills there. For a while, because of eating grass roots and wild fruits, he had gastrointestinal discomfort and often vomited and diarrhea. But he didn't care about it, and it was strange that eating these things later was like eating whole grains.

Meng De often encountered large beasts such as lions and tigers. When the beasts were a hundred paces away from him, they began to howl in a high-pitched and terrifying voice. After a moment of intimidation, the beast ran a dozen paces away from him, moving up and down as if it was going to fight him. Whenever this happens, Meng De is always calm and unafraid. Because he thought that he would die no matter what, and it didn't matter how he died. (Note: Madness, the same as 'kidney', means frightening.) )

Seeing that Meng De did not have the slightest fear, the beast hesitated, and lost more than half of its sharpness. After a long time of wandering, he sat there, staring at him blankly for a while, and finally left in a daze. (逡運, the same sound, yin ping.) It means to linger or retreat because of concerns. )

In this way, Meng De avoided the dangers of many beasts.

Su Zhe wrote a letter to tell his brother Su Shi this story. Su Shi will also be skeptical. However, Su Shi thought of another related story: a woman took her child to the river to wash clothes. She put her two babbling children on the beach and went to the side to do the laundry. At this time, a tiger came running and wanted to eat the two children. The tiger found that the two children did not panic at all. They are innocent and don't know what this behemoth is. The tiger deliberately rubbed his head against the body of one of the children, but the child ignored it and continued to play with himself. The tiger stayed with the two children for a while, and finally, he left in a huff.

So, he also wrote this story for his younger brother, and added his own opinion at the end of the story: It is really difficult for us to live in this world. From endless wars to frequent disasters, from insects, tigers and leopards to underworld forces, from the faces of leaders to the emotions of colleagues, from mutual tilting to invisible plots, we have feared many people and many things. Although we have always been cautious in our words and deeds, not to offend others, and not to cause trouble, it is always difficult to find a piece of life where the heart can be relaxed to the point of being unhindered. More often than not, we are tired because we have been living in fear and fear. (Note: 豕, the same as 'make', the original meaning is pig.) )

There are people in this world who are hot-headed and fearless, there are people who are desperate for love, and there are people who sacrifice themselves for their beliefs. In this world, there are only two kinds of people who are truly fearless, one is a person who is in a desperate situation, and the other is a person who is pure and clear. ”

Concubine Wen sincerely admired: "I really envy that deserter and those two children, because in their hearts, there is a fearless realm that we will never reach, and it also makes the bachelor brothers proud of all kinds of injustices and sufferings in the world, which is really worth learning from us beauties." The beauties praised the article and said it to the point.
