Su Song did not exclaim exaggeratedly, but stared at Zhao Xu with burning eyes without saying a word and swallowing the medicine.

He remembered that when he first became a court official, Emperor Renzong often had heart attacks, and because he knew that this Su Qingjia had supplemented the "Shennong Materia Medica", he told him about the symptoms of his illness.

Zhao Xu's grandfather, Emperor Yingzong, was not Renzong's own son, and Su Song originally thought that Renzong's heart disease was unlikely to appear in his successor.

Unexpectedly, the official family is only eighteen years old now, and he is ......

Su Song's chest also seemed to be stepped on hard.

Not because of the disease, but because of the heartache.

He Su Song, is a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli, for more than 50 years, the sea has risen and fallen, what haven't you seen? In the end, in exchange for a sigh - what is the fear of natural disasters? What is there to fear? It is the society that is in danger.

If the court is clear and clear, and the ministers have their own responsibilities to defend the land and be worthy of a share of the money, instead of being obsessed with party disputes, what can be the problem with the length of the emperor's reign? Replace them in turn.

The coughing and moaning in his ears gradually stopped, and Su Song saw that Zhao Xu's complexion soothed, and said helplessly: "The official family looks like this, how dare the minister say anything." ”

Zhao Xu wrapped the mink fur around his neck, took another sip of hot tea, leaned back in the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Please ask Su Gong to come to Si Tianjian instead of going to the palace, I just want to hear Su Gong tell the truth." Su Gong is not worried, I am angry, I am talking about the people I hate and hate, Su Gong is a person I regard as if I am a relative, the public can speak freely, I will never blame. ”

Su Song gathered the sleeves of his robe, pondered for a moment, and said: "A moment ago, the official family mentioned many people, but the official family directly evaluated them. At this time, I will first quote a person's original words. ”

"Who?"

"Zuo Si admonished Zhang Shangying. The minister heard that Zhang Sizhi had threatened to say that he would not forget Ruzhou, Antao would not forget Xuzhou, and Li Qingchen and Zeng Bu would not forget Heyang. ”

"Zhang Si's remarks and the mention of several derogatory places are for several good ministers who were degraded by the traitorous party (referring to the old party) during the Yuan You period, but they are just angry words."

"Angry talk? The official family, now that Zhang and Zeng are the two ministers, they have entered the East and West Mansions, Zhang Si's words are not to provoke the two phases to squeeze out and suppress the Yuanyou party, what is it? Since the beginning of the dynasty, the system of admonishment has become a plaything for officials to form gangs and factions and flatter the prime minister, which has made Chinese and foreign people uneasy, from the officials in green shirts to the scholars who are at a loss, and the officials still feel that they don't need to pay attention to it? ”

Su Song's volume was not loud, and there was no anger in his tone, but his eyes looking at the Son of Heaven were full of gloomy sadness.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "Historically, the words spoken by the officials are like knives cutting axes, Zhang Sizhi only talks about him, I look at Zeng Shuxiang, still like warm water in a soup bottle, and there is no radical action. ”

"That's because Zeng Bu is in charge of the Privy Council, in charge of the military affairs of the country. What about the three provinces? The minister is now a person who is about to die, and his heart should be like stopping water, but when he heard that Zhang Xianggong was going to compile Yuan You's ministers and bureaucrats, the minister couldn't sleep all night! The official family just mentioned that Cai was unjustly killed in Lingnan by the Yuanyou party, did the official family forget that Cai was indeed demoted, isn't it because of a poem? Poetry can still be taken out to distort and kill, and the chapters played by the courtiers in the past can not be arranged word by word for in-depth study? ”

When Su Song said this, a line of old tears flowed.

"Official, this is a literary prison!"

"Official, this is more of a great disaster for the country than forcing the Yellow River to return to its original path, and leading the Yellow River into Bianbian to cause a breach!"

"Official!"

Su Song got up suddenly, came to Zhao Xu, and knelt down.

"If there is no retribution for injustice, will the Great Song Dynasty be so consumed in the party struggle! Please be wise! ”

Su Song's white-haired head trembled lightly on the cold ground.

Seventy-five years old!

Zhao Xu stared blankly at the old minister of the Four Dynasties, and it took him a long time to wake up, and he wanted to step forward to help him in person, but he was not convinced by Su Song's "literary prison" words for a while, and his face was not up or down, so he had to scold him sharply: "It's all wood?" Quickly help Su Qing's family get up. ”

Si Tianjian and Eunuch, who were standing on the side, hurriedly rushed in front of the inner servant and went to pick up Su Song.

Su Song shook his head, pointed at the eunuch and said to Zhao Xu: "Official, this eunuch is the person who Shen Jingluo used when he was the eunuch of Si Tian. It's been thirty years, and when I asked the official family to take a look at him, he was still wearing a green robe. However, the old man said bluntly that what a seven-rank official like him does every day is more worthy of the money that the dynasty gave him than those Zhu Zi members who only know intrigue! ”

The chamberlain also came up, and Yin Yin persuaded: "Duke Su, sit first, sit first, sit down and speak slowly." ”

"I don't sit," Su Song said, "The nobleman let me talk about it first." ”

He still faced Zhao Xu, and his mood calmed down: "Official, although the old minister is old, he can still move around, and he has looked around in the city in the past few days, not only seeing the temple nunnery and large households giving porridge, but also seeing the small merchants and hawkers and Taixue students giving porridge together on the bank of the Bianhe River, and there is a young man who is still white, because he understands medicine and sets up a stall to make soup and medicine for the people. The official family just faced this water transport instrument and wanted to ask the sky, but the old minister felt that the country is based on the small officials and the small people, and the eyes of the officials might as well fall from the sky, look at the court, look at the market, there are these prisoners, there are the small people who give porridge and medicine, why worry about the country? It's just that don't let a group of stupid cooks make good dishes bad! ”

After Su Song finished speaking in one breath, he stepped to the chair again and sat down.

There was silence.

The heavenly supervisor said in his heart, obediently, in my lifetime, I can see the Xianggong who has already taught the Son of Heaven like this, and it is worth this official robe.

Zhao Xu spoke for a long time, knowing that Su Song and Er Su had a good personal relationship, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere, he took the initiative to speak: "What Su Gong said, I will think about it seriously." Su Yu, the second son of Master Su, had sent me a letter the day before yesterday, requesting a re-investigation of the dispute between Wu Anzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Su Zhe. I will pay attention to see if there is any personal vendetta in the public. ”

Su Song was also a little more angry, and nodded: "What the minister said today is from the bottom of his heart. ”

"I know, I know. By the way, what Su Gong just said, Taixue also went to soup porridge? The people of the dynasty raised a man, and he really raised a benevolent man. ”

When Su Song heard this, he made a little deliberation and said to Zhao Xu: "It was Taixue's rice grain soaked in water, and it couldn't be put away for a few days, so the lady who taught two cooks and restaurants bought it with money, made thick porridge, and gave porridge together with Taixue students and servants." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xu said with great interest, "The merchant woman has this righteous act, and I should issue an edict to reward it and spread it to the capital." ”

"What do the officials want to reward? The bounty is rewarded with silver, it is better to reward them with a word. They hang in the dining room, which is the best kind of decency. ”

"Hmm, what Su Gong said is reasonable. What do I write? What kind of food does her family make? ”

"The official family writes the word 'new pake', which is the name of her family's fragrant drink."
