Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Orchids of the Song Dynasty

Finally became the emperor, Zhao Ji became calmer.He not only needs to climb to this position, but also needs to sit comfortably in this position.A series of performances after that showed that he was really too smart and rational. The first step is to respect the leader. As the emperor, two generations of his father and elder brother met with swordsmen in the harem, and they were incompatible.As a result of the tossing, regardless of the damage to the country, the two emperors themselves were also in a hurry, living a miserable life and dying aggrieved.It's Zhao Ji's turn, what can he do?

He chose to be grateful, and at the age of nineteen years of full adulthood, please listen to the Queen Mother behind the curtain.How, Gao Taotao gave up the power that Gao Taotao got by making a fuss and "changing a son with a mother". The second step is to reorganize the cabinet. Once the emperor and the courtiers, Zhao Ji had to have his own team.But the times are too sensitive. Should he choose the new party or the old party?If you choose the new party, what will the Queen Mother Xiang, who is sitting behind the curtain, think, she is the new party's deadly enemy; if you choose the old party, the old party is Zhezong's prisoner, who just took over the position of the emperor's brother, and wants to destroy the tradition?

Neither side pleases, but both sides must be pleased. How can this knot be untied? Zhao Ji has a way.The first personnel appointment and dismissal he made after he ascended the throne was to transfer Han Zhongyan from the Daming Mansion to Beijing and be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials; . The identities of these three people are very opposite.Han Zhongyan was the son of the late old party leader Han Qi, and Li and Huang were influential figures in Zhezong's new party. They were promoted at the same time, revealing an obvious subtext. Since then, the old and new parties have been balanced, and under the leadership of Zhao Ji, they are no longer hostile.

This is just the first layer of subtext. If there is no context, it is a very crude and muddy method. It is too vulgar to do this in the top officialdom, and it cannot please the Queen Mother at all.But when the second layer is manifested, it has to be admired. Not long after, Han Zhongyan's position rose sharply and he became the new prime minister. Li and Huang stayed where they were, far away from the prime minister's position, and became members of a huge group of middle-level cadres.What does this show? Zhao Ji chose the Queen Mother from the very beginning, and decided the distribution of power based on her preferences.

At the same time, this move also made people unable to find fault with his betrayal of the emperor's brother. The third step is to applaud all the old party members. Zhao Ji called back all the new forces of the old party who were demoted from the imperial court in the later period of Zhezong.Gong Yang, Chen Guan, Zou Hao, Jiang Gongwang, Chang Anmin, Ren Boyu, Chen Cisheng, Zhang Shunmin, etc. rushed to the capital from various places and became speech officials. These names are very strange. Firstly, I didn't have time to mention them, and secondly, I couldn't mention them.Although in the history of the Song Dynasty, these people have a very high status, and they are held higher than the sky by the old party members.

For example, Chen Guan was the reclusive famous person who boarded a boat to give lectures when Zhang Dun was on his way to become prime minister.Later, he stopped living in seclusion and re-entered the officialdom. If he was reclusive, he became an official. He stepped into Kaifeng City and became a doctor of imperial studies. This official is really too big, that is, the professor of the Royal University in the Song Dynasty. But what earth-shattering things can such a position do?It’s nothing more than setting up questions, invigilating exams and so on, and it’s not related to national affairs, let me write about him!

Another example is Zou Hao, who was a Jinshi in the Shenzong Dynasty. He started his job as a professor at Yingchangfu in Yangzhou, equivalent to a member of the local education office.When Zhezong was transferred to the capital and became a speech officer, he immediately impeached Zhang Dun. He was a hardcore old party fighter.It's a pity that it's useless, Zhe Zongshi's skin-picking power is unrivaled in the world, so it's a pity that Zou Hao failed to become the hero he was looking forward to. What really made him famous was the incident of the abolition of Empress Meng.After the Meng family was abolished, Zou Hao's reaction was that the end of the world was coming. He desperately wrote a letter, asking Zhezong to withdraw his order, re-establish the Meng family, and kill all enemies who stood against the Meng family.If you don't do this, Zhezong will be stigmatized for thousands of years, the Song Dynasty will lose the country, and the people will lose their inner balance... Where is this going? When did a woman whose natal family was a commoner become so important?In a rage, Zhezong kicked Zou Hao out of the capital and went to the south to reflect.

This is even more remarkable. When Zou Hao left Beijing, he became a model of tragic heroes for all ages, and he became the only person in the world who had a conscience, love and a sense of justice.The scene of that day was fixed as a totem in the hearts of the old party members, and it was sung for a long time. In this regard, I really want people to ask - as for? They are all such characters, except for people with ulterior motives who would treat them as dishes.That's right, Zhao Ji's use of them now has ulterior motives. Immediately following the issuance of the fourth order, all speech officials, all officials, and all citizens pay attention, no matter who is free to speak, say anything, and impeach anyone.If you are right, you will be rewarded, if you are wrong, it is fine, I will never break my promise.

It looks old-fashioned, doesn't it? It's nothing more than an order to ask for advice. The previous generations of Song Dynasty emperors have done it.But this time was different, the previous ones were just image projects, this time Zhao Ji turned it into a knife, stuffed it into the hands of Chen Guan, Zou Hao and others, and let them chop as much as they wanted. Cut down Zhao Ji's enemies until the queen mother is satisfied with her smile. Chen Guan, Zou Hao and the others were trembling with excitement. Is this actually true?The entire old party in Zhezong's dynasty was torn apart by those two people, can they take revenge now?

Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, you also have today! All the officials in the capital and the old party members all over the world worked together, and the memorials of impeachment flew to Zhao Ji like a snowflake. Soon, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and Zhang and Cai could be convicted. The two were demoted and moved south. Zhang Dun was miserable and was demoted to Hainan. What do you mean by borrowing a knife to kill someone? Kill three birds with one stone?The reputation of benevolence and righteousness has been gained, the political enemies of the Queen Mother have been brought down, and the prime minister who opposed his accession to the throne has collapsed, that is.Zhao Ji achieved all his goals and received rave reviews for a while.

Don't be too busy, Zhao Ji thinks that he can play a little bit more and let the praise reach a climax. The climax is achieved by two parts inside and outside the palace.In the palace, the Empress Dowager Xiang, who had endured for six years, finally had all-round happiness.It was not easy for her, life was hard, until Zhezong died, in order to establish Zhao Ji, she ran barefoot in the palace, crying and shouting to win sympathy, was it easy for her?Now that we are finally looking forward to a good day, how to continue, this needs to be planned early. Through careful calculation, she did two things.First, restore the Meng family.The Meng family, the empress chosen by Gao Taotao, was demoted for reasons of his own stupidity and the inside story of political struggles.Now that she is in trouble, if you lift her up, she will definitely repay you with gratitude.In this way, the profit chain of Gao Taotao-Xiangshi-Mengshi's three generations of empresses was formed, one was prosperous and the other was damaged, and she would definitely protect Xiangshi just like she protected Gao Taotao. At the same time, empress Liu, appointed by Zhezong, was suppressed. Originally, the Liu family had won a complete victory and became the only queen.Originally, the empress and the emperor were one, and there had been only one in each dynasty since ancient times, but suddenly the Meng family was resurrected, and they were going to be the empress. This is intolerable.Liu is angry, why is it tied, why is it tied, I don't want to be tied! Another news came, and I told the Queen Mother that you are not side by side. From today on, you are called Queen Yuanfu, and the Meng family is called Queen Yuanyou. When you two meet, you have to salute her first, and then she will return the salute... Mrs. Liu was going to die of anger, but thinking that she was still young, she could survive like the Queen Mother. In this year, who knows what it will be like in a few years? She decided to wait, but the Queen Mother did not.She knew that she was getting old, and her body was beginning to get sick. Her spirit and body had been tense for six years, and she couldn't support it after suddenly relaxing.Having seen too many deaths, she couldn't stop thinking about what happened behind her. If she is really dead, can Mengshi control the overall situation?With Zhao Ji alone, the Meng family is very difficult to control, plus the Liu family, the situation is not good, plus Concubine Zhu, who is his deadly enemy. What's the use of my daughter-in-law? After thinking about it, thinking about it, the Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse, and soon she will be bedridden and dying.But just like that, Zhezong's biological mother Zhu Taifei still died before her! How did this happen?There is little evidence to prove who did what, but it happened.So, when Xiang Shi died, she was completely at ease, very appropriate, and completely happy. At this point, given all of the above, we have to admit, this woman is really powerful. This is a matter in the palace, let alone what happened outside the palace, which fully demonstrates Zhao Ji's cleverness in this matter.Everyone knows that doing good deeds is tiring, and sometimes dangerous and troublesome. Zhao Ji did it without spending a single coin, and the whole world, and even the Chinese for nearly a thousand years, applauded in unison.Note that even if Zhao Ji later became Song Huizong, people's views on him have not changed on this matter. Pardon Su Shi and Fan Chunren, and let them return north from the place where they were relegated. These two people are special existences. In the hearts of Song Dynasty people, when they were alive, they were already legends beyond the political party.Su Shi's articles have been the leader of the world for nearly forty years. He is an undisputed leader in the literary world. Chinese people respect scholars. Who cares whether he is a new party or an old party? accepted him. Fan Chunren was even better. As the son of a famous official Fan Zhongyan, he did not have his father's military and literary talents, but he inherited Fan Zhongyan's most shining aura-morality. Fan's morality is not an empty slogan, nor is it a religious dogma with super tall and practical consequences such as "the mighty cannot be subdued, the rich and the rich cannot be promiscuous, and the poor cannot be moved". In an officialdom full of ulterior motives, filth, and all kinds of negative desires such as extermination, etc., it becomes more and more valuable, even the only one. Since ancient times, morality is better than writing. The encounter between these two people starts with Fan Chunren. Fan Chunren's misfortune was purely self-inflicted. Back then, Zhang Dun demoted him from the court because he wanted to be held accountable for abandoning the Four Villages in the Northwest. He and Sima Guang were the mastermind behind this matter. This is the only blemish on Fan Chunren's life. Even so, Song Ting was still an exception to him. In Chenzhou, which is now Huaiyang, Henan. It is close at hand to leave the closed city, and it can be said that we are still living in the economic and cultural center. Fan Chunren knew this kind of treatment well, it could be said that he loved him, let him stay outside the political vortex honestly, and waited for the day when the wind and sea calmed down, he would have a good result. But his surname is Fan, and this surname has been shrouded in a halo of holiness, warmth, and fraternity from the Northern Song Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty.History has proved that this is not only the lifelong efforts of the founder Fan Zhongyan, but also the precipitation of Fan Chunren. This precipitation is mainly reflected in asking for trouble this time. In Chenzhou, Fan Chunren heard the news that Song Zhezong publicly announced at the suburban sacrificial ceremony that ministers who were relegated during Shaosheng's reign, such as Lu Dafang, would not be hired for life. This news was unprecedented and terrifying, and it was the first of its kind in the Song Dynasty.Before that, even if the old party demoted Zhang Dun and Cai Que during the Yuanyou period, and demoted all the middle and high-level cadres of the new party, it never said that anyone would be deprived of political rights for life.Even if Cai Que finally died in the south, it was because of his personal health. The country has never said such cruel words. Now that the contradictions are escalating, it is foreseeable that the political environment will become worse in the future.How does this allow future ministers to survive?Survival can not be guaranteed, how to work?Where does this put the country? Anyone can see such a simple problem, but no one dares to say anything.Because the government at that time was controlled by Zhang Dun, Zhang Dun's intention was even more obvious, which was to get it done once and for all.In his opinion, there is only one way to solve the problem, and that is to kill all the old party members, and they will die cleanly. Naturally, there will be no more conflicts in the future! Under such circumstances, who dares to commit crimes against the wind and oppose the removal of leather stamps? The crown is full of Jinghua, and Sri Lankan people dare to speak alone.No one dared to say it, but Fan Chunren dared.He is a balance ruler. When Yuanyou was in Yuanyou, he prevented Yuan from degrading Cai Que, and now he opposes the permanent abolition of Lu Dafang.Fan Chunren wrote a memorial. I implore Zhezong to leave a glimmer of life for Lu Dafang and others, and a glimmer of room for everyone in the officialdom to maneuver. Leave a leeway... Zhang Dun was very speechless. He didn't want to touch you, but you took the initiative to apply for a lottery.Fan Junzi, this is politics, not a philanthropic hall. You must squeeze in, then there is no other way. In order to maintain the integrity of the political situation, those who openly criticize must be suppressed: Fan Chunren was demoted to Suizhou for resettlement, and the whole family went together, starting today.Suizhou, in the current Suixian County, Hubei Province, he finally went to the Yangtze River and got together with Lu Dafang and the others.When the news came, there was a lot of sadness, relatives and friends of the Fan family shook their heads and sighed, but Fan Chunren himself was very calm. This is not pretending, but the embodiment of the soul. Just imagine that in the face of such a situation, Fan Chunren endured it and kept silent to protect himself.Even if he escaped the political storm, would he be happy?Will you be as lucky as ordinary people?Obviously, he blames himself.The Fan family has always been concerned about the country, the people, and the world. Only when their hearts are happy can they be happy. If they want to be safe, Fan Zhongyan's aura alone is enough for them to be officials and enjoy happiness. Then let’s go, Fan Chunren tasted the bitter fruit of self-brewing calmly in the next three or four years. Boat. One day, the Fan family trekked by boat near Juzizhou, Changsha, Hunan today. Suddenly, there was a strong wind and waves, and the boat was about to capsize. After finally reaching the shallow water, the whole family went ashore wet.Among them, Fan Chunren carried his wife on his back and walked ashore step by step. There was a lot of scolding around him. His wife and children scolded Zhang Dun in unison. Among them, Mrs. Fan scolded Zhang Dun the most classic and prestigious, with eight words-"Trapping a gentleman has brought me to this point." The old lady got angry and said that Zhang Dun framed Fan Chunren, an honest gentleman, and caused her to suffer a lot. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the scolding, but Fan Chunren's answer puzzled his family, and even those who studied history later.He said, "Is it also Zhang Dun's fault that the ship broke?" Who sees who is confused, what is Fan Chunren doing?This is of course Zhang Dun's fault. Without this incident, how could the young and old of the Fan family go rafting in the Yangtze River?It's a logical error, and why isn't Fan Chunren angry?Even if you don't want revenge, there's no need to explain for the enemy. It's all wrong to think like this, and they don't understand Fan Chunren's psychology. As his wife said, "trapping an honest man in vain", regardless of Zhang Dun's ideological purpose, he took a step back and said that he really framed an honest man, so what?Is a gentleman not a person?Is there any immunity? This is the root of the problem. In the minds of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, an upright gentleman has privileges. As long as he is an upright person, he can decide the fate of others and suppress his opponents to death.As for myself, I will always sleep peacefully and not allow others to touch a finger.How ridiculous this is, the style of a gentleman lies in tolerance, when did it become a murderous weapon? In Fan Chunren's heart, maintaining a gentleman's style and the concept of justice is just a matter of his own personal integrity, not his own gold medal of immunity.Whether he is advancing or retreating, he is only doing it for his own peace of mind. that is it. During the few years in Yongzhou, it was the days when Fan Chunren bloomed with spiritual light.The world has seen too many saints walking in the sun. At this time, he is like a lotus flower in the dark. Although no one sees him, he is still noble and pure. It is very difficult to do this, first of all you must be able to endure loneliness.And loneliness was something that would never appear by his side. In the Song Dynasty, relegation did not mean despair, especially for someone like Fan Chunren who was a top official and a top celebrity.This kind of people is the center of society wherever they go, such as Liu Zhi, Liu Anshi, Liang Tao, and Su Shi, both in officialdom and in the private sector, they all have huge energy. Fan Chunren voluntarily gave up these.In order to be quiet, he did not live in a government office, did not buy a house, but lived in a temple.Every morning, the clock and the evening drum are punctual and punctual, living the life of a practitioner. In such a life, quarrels and conflicts are inevitable.One time, a child of the Fan family was playing in the temple and made a little mistake.They are all sons of poets and book heirs. They are eloquent and knowledgeable since they were young. Due to their age, they don't know how to restrain themselves. They made a few jokes casually, which made the monk angry. The monks were furious and scolded these high-ranking government officials in trouble, and they also did not let Fan Chunren go, their words were very offensive. The Fan family is on fire, regardless of Fan Chunren's status, he is at least the elder of the Fan family at this time, and cursing other people's elders in front of other people's children is a huge provocation in any era! Conflicts were inevitable, and the monk was about to be unlucky. No matter how bad Fan Chunren was, he would not be able to be bullied by a few bald gourds.It's just a matter of recovering the ultimatum or confiscating the temple property. But nothing happened. Fan Chunren was very calm when he heard the children complaining.When the monks came to apologize the next day, Fan Chunren comforted them not to care. What he wants is tranquility, he closes the courtyard door every day, he lives like in the north, eats noodles, reads poems and books, recalls what he has done in his life, and lives farther away than before. Calmness is not negativity. In the days of exile, Fan Chunren used another way to motivate himself and his tribe.On the first day and the fifteenth day of each month, the Fan family will display the handwriting and rewards of the emperor during the four dynasties (ren, god, ying, zhe) in the main hall. , After that, the elders and children in the family bow to each other, and they disperse after drinking tea. He wants his family to know that no matter whether he is good or bad, he is a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, and he will never betray his heart and go against the family tradition of the Fan family because of political encounters. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he looked forward to the long-lost imperial edict. The imperial edict was promulgated in the tone of the queen mother, giving Fan Chunren the official position of Guangluqing, his work unit was set in Nanjing (now Shangqiu), and his residence was in Dengzhou.Dengzhou is today's Deng County, Henan. That is to say, after four or five years, Fan Chunren finally ended his relegation to the south and returned to the north of his hometown. Only at this time, his health was terrible. He was over seventy years old and was in such a state of decay that he was even blind.Holding the imperial edict, he couldn't see the words on it. He was so excited that he broke down in tears, and said: "Shangguo uses me, and I am more than responsible for death." The emperor has finally appointed me. Even if I die, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities. That's what Xin thought, but he couldn't do anything anymore, he couldn't even enter the court to thank him.In this regard, Zhao Ji was even more touching. He sent people to deliver tea and medicine as quickly as possible, and also sent an imperial doctor who specialized in ophthalmology. carry on. The famous people in the world have long been respected by the world. As long as I can meet them once, I will be satisfied. This sentence came from the mouth of the emperor, enough to make anyone honor for a lifetime.In this kind of glory, Fan Chunren returned to the north, continued to govern, gradually declined, and finally died in his sleep on the second day of the first lunar month in the first year of Song Jianzhong (AD 1101). Throughout Fan Chunren's life, he was not a great politician, did not understand military affairs, and even did some wrong things.However, none of this prevents him from becoming the premier moral monument in the Song Dynasty. His mind is not complicated, let alone pretend to be profound.All his actions come from a sentence he often said: "I have learned nothing more than two words in my life-'loyalty' and 'forgiveness'." These two words are very simple, but who can do it?Loyalty doesn't just mean being loyal to the country, but also being loyal to one's conscience.The former, in feudal society, the country is the monarch, and loyalty to the monarch usually benefits, and it is not too difficult to do.For example, during the period of Song Yingzong, who was loyal to Yingzong was loyal to his conscience?One by one flourishes, and Fu Lu lives his life. Loyalty to conscience is too dangerous.Like Fan Chunren, he blocked the old party in Yuanyou and Zhezong in Yuanfu. The reason for this was nothing more than fairness, and the overall political situation that even the emperor and the prime minister ignored. It will be difficult and miserable for such a person to live in any era, but at the same time, he will also win the respect of the people and the affirmation of history.Fan Chunren in the Song Dynasty, and Fan Chunren in other eras, their paths can be classified into four words - "moral journey". Use their own suffering to maintain the conscience of a nation.This was not a big deal at the time, but looking back suddenly, if we can’t see the warm and bright light of humanity in an era of retaliation and genocide, will we still be proud of our nation? If Fan Chunren's road to relegation is a moral journey, then Su Shi's journey is a cultural journey.He was demoted in the first year of Shaosheng and set two records: The first to be demoted is the furthest. All the way from Dingzhou to Yingzhou, from Yingzhou to Huizhou, I thought it was safe after arriving in Huizhou, and they all went to the seaside.As a result, his old friend Zhang Dun thought for a while, Brother Dongpo, your name is Zizhan, why don't you go to Danzhou? Danzhou is today's Hainan Island. Su Shi really has read thousands of books and has to travel thousands of miles. He has to cross the ocean.It's okay to cross the sea, but just after landing on Hainan Island, the order came again-to order Su Shi to report to Changhua. Changhua, in the northeast of Zhan County, Hainan today, is the settlement of the Li people. It is located in a corner of Hainan, the corner of the world, and the most remote place.Let's put it this way, fortunately, when the country was founded, Zhao Kuangyin and Pan Mei were lazy for a while and didn't think about conquering Vietnam, otherwise Su Shi would have to go abroad. Facing such persecution, people all over the world feel sorry for Su Shi.It's really a bully, Su Shi is just a super pen, at most he just speaks happily and swears at others, as for punishing people to death like this? It's simply changing the way, just joking to trick people! I can't stand another person, let alone Su Shi.Everyone thinks that a talented man like Su Shi who is so arrogant and does not bow to anyone, including Sima Guang, will die of anger if he is not exhausted. Unexpectedly, Su Shi talked and laughed freely along the way, walking past like a tour of mountains and rivers.This is very different from Fan Chunren. When Fan Chunren was alone behind closed doors, he quietly waited for the turning point of fate.Even if someone came to see him, he would always refuse.The reason is that he is seeking tranquility, which is not only beneficial to himself, but also beneficial to the court politics. He will never take advantage of his fame in Luoyang, Xijing like Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, etc., to form gangs and criticize the government, which makes Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong always worried about the reform. He is passing through these years quietly, even if he does not agree with the new party's policy guidelines, he still has to maintain the normal operation of the regime. Su Shi is not like this, he never refuses anyone who comes to visit him, he always cups tea, laughs and entertains everyone who visits him, even when he has just arrived in a certain place and is unfamiliar with the place, he can take the initiative to find someone to chat with. Not to mention writing letters at any time and interacting with countless friends in all directions.There is evidence to prove that common words such as "hehe" are commonly used in modern Internet chats, and it was Su Shi who invented them. This word is used quite frequently in his letters and notes. The result is that the farther away he is, the more friends he makes. There are all kinds of people from all walks of life.Therefore, the more he went, the more powerful he became, and the more legends he got. It can be said that without his long-distance demotion, his reputation would never have reached the current level. Before the far relegation, his reputation was deep, and he was indeed the leader in the officialdom and the literary world; but after the far relegation, the breadth increased. His free and easy, easy-going, versatile, and benevolent all the way, let the world praise him as "Poxian" ". No one has ever treated the miserable experience of being demoted overseas for seven years like him.Taking Danzhou as an example, there was a famous official who was demoted here before him. That person had a much higher official position than Su Shi. He was Li Deyu, the leader of the Li Party, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Hainan Island called Yazhou. Li Deyu died here. He couldn't bear the harsh environment, let alone the bullying of his political opponents. This did not happen to Su Shi, not to say that he is not as arrogant as Li Deyu, but that the core area deep in his heart is too different.Li Deyu and even Fan Chunren were all born in a family of top officials. Their ancestors were either famous officials or important officials. From birth, their fate was doomed to a responsibility. It is both a country and a family.With these two points, and being in the vortex of political parties, who can be relaxed and unrestrained? Su Shi is different. He is the first generation of famous officials who started with talent. He grew up in the mountains and rivers of Shuchuan. His heart is not a traditional officialdom animal.At the very beginning, he was briefly confused. At that time, when he first entered the officialdom, he called himself a family of scholar-bureaucrats, and regarded the life and death of the people at the bottom as worthless. Really annoying, typical nouveau riche face. Due to his own misfortune, he was demoted to Huangzhou after the Wutai Poetry Case. After farming on the sloping land in the east of the city, his soul returned to its roots. ——It is not accidental that Li Bai and Su Shi were both born there.Their paths have more in common. Li Bai couldn't bear the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, so he cut himself off from the rivers and lakes.Su Shi's various sloppy behaviors on his seven-year relegation road are even more of his abandonment of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.Everywhere he went, he had to build a house for a long-term stay.This is the biggest difference between him and Fan Chunren, he has no hope of returning to the court at all. This is the child of nature, how can he fall into the quagmire again? Want to return to nature... Do you want to regret your marriage?As soon as he enters the officialdom, it is as deep as the sea, who dares to call him a great husband?Officialdom is a terrible circle of life, and anyone who enters can't help himself. Why are you, Su Shi, special? He wanted to build a house and settle down many times, but he was disturbed.When he was in Yingzhou, he took out all his assets at that time, bought land and built a house, and made a lot of trouble.As a result, the house was built and the order came. Su Shi, the prisoner, was ordered to live in Huizhou. When he arrived in Huizhou, Su Shi learned how to behave, and first reported to the official to apply for the official office.It stands to reason that although he committed a crime, he is still an official and has his own corresponding treatment.But there is nothing, because the huge information network in the officialdom has already analyzed his promotion index clearly. Let alone returning to Beijing to be promoted, he has little hope of dying in the north. Ever since, along the way, officials at all levels along the way tried to make things difficult for Su Shi, making him travel without a car, without a house, and without medicine for his illness. This kind of thing chased him until Huizhou was still happening.These officials have to report Su Shi's situation to the central government at all times, so as to ensure that all kinds of "care" come to Su Shi in a timely manner. The first is the house, there is no government office, Su Shi wanted to rent a house, but in the huge city of Huizhou, there were no houses.This bull, if you have money, you can't rent a house. There is no way, Su Shi moved into the temple.Buddhism has a great relationship with Su Shi. He had many monk friends in his life. Thanks to the huge network of contacts among Buddhist disciples, wherever he went, there was at least a small temple where he could stay.As a result, this landing made Su Shi completely overturned. The monks were very kind to him, and for fear of affecting his rest, they rang the bell as quietly as possible every day.Su Shi was very grateful and wrote a poem, in which there is a sentence: "In order to repay the poet's spring sleeping beauty, the Taoist beat the five o'clock lightly." His poems were popular for thousands of miles and soon spread to the capital. When Zhang Dun saw it, he couldn't hold back his rage for a while. It made you feel comfortable. Go across the sea and stay in Danzhou to see if you can be happier again! When the order arrived, Su Shi’s house in Baihefeng, Huizhou had already been built. The eldest son, Su Mai, became the county magistrate of Renhua County, Shaozhou. He brought his three daughters-in-law and many grandchildren to see him. Le, was thrown into hell all of a sudden—basically no one in history came back alive from exile on Hainan Island! Su Shi's mood when crossing the sea was sad, not only a matter of life and death, but also a matter of dignity.China is not like the West. Exploring across the ocean in the West is a kind of glory. It is a game that only powerful men dare to play. If you can kill and set fire in the process and bring back a ship full of gold, silver, jewels and beautiful slaves, then it will be even more perfect. In China, going to sea is not honorable.Parents don't travel far away, and relatives don't live abroad, because they have to worship ancestors every year. Once they die outside, they will inevitably be unfilial. Su Shi actually wanted to commit a crime across the sea. Since ancient times, his heart was more miserable than his own life. What crime did Su Shi have?On April 19th in the fourth year of Shaosheng, Su Shi crossed the sea and started his three-year trip to Changhua. These three years were the most difficult period in Su Shi's life, and it was also the moment when the light of his life bloomed the fullest and most fulfilling.Life in Hainan is extremely harsh. Su Shi finally had his own home here, but the difficulty of survival was unimaginable. After an autumn rain alone, he found a liter of termites in the bed tent! Not to mention daily life, daily rice, noodles, wine, sugar, etc. have to be transported by sea.In this way, the price is expensive, and Su Shi can't afford it; secondly, the supply is too small, and once it is windy and rainy at sea, he can only starve.At this time, Su Shi was over sixty years old, and severe acclimatization and malnutrition ruined his health. Both he and his youngest son Su Guo were emaciated. In the midst of starvation, helpless, Su Shi took pleasure in bitterness, remembered a legend, and couldn't help laughing.It was the time of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, and people all over China were starving. Someone fell into a hole in the ground dizzy and had no food.But he saw tortoises and snakes in the cave. Whenever the sun was shining, they would stick their heads out of the cave, as if swallowing the sun. This person learned everything, and he was actually in good health, better than eating rice noodles.Thinking of this, Su Shi smiled at his youngest son, let's have some sunshine like this too! This is the spiritual core of Poxian. In the face of difficulties, even the predicament of mortal death, one should not curse, be depressed, or regret, just like a hero once said-"Death smiles to everyone, and all people can do is to smile to everyone." Death smiles back." Those who bow their heads in front of cruel officials are cowards, and those who roar in return are warriors, but they are still inferior because they are influenced by the opponent.Like Su Shi, still keep smiling, keep the lively light in the depths of the heart, don't let it be dark, don't let it be violent, this is a different kind of pride - let the beautiful be beautiful forever, the rain in the sky will never be because If it falls into the mire on the ground, it will lose its original cleanliness! The constant torture made Su Shi's light brighter. The farther he was demoted, the closer he was to the hearts of the people.On his way to the south, there is a unique landscape, which is a legend of high love that has never been seen in the past dynasties. When he was demoted to Huizhou, Guangdong, Zhuo Qishun, the elder Shouqin of Dinghui Temple in Suzhou, sent his disciple Zhuo Qishun to walk thousands of miles to visit him; the hermit Wu Ziye, an old friend for many years, came to stay with him for a few days regardless of his old age and fatigue. After being relegated from Hainan to Danzhou, Wu Ziye, 73-year-old Meishan fellow Chaogu and Yang Jifu came across the sea to accompany him through the difficult first few months. Wang Jieshi, a native of Chaozhou, followed him all the way, helping the Su family live like a servant, even doing things like building a house by himself.Many students from all over the world asked him for advice, among which Jiang Gongbi from Hainan is the most famous. Hainan Island is too remote, and there are few literate people. How can we talk about articles? Until the founding of the Song Dynasty for nearly 140 years, there was still no Jinshi.There is really no way to do this. Learning is about inheritance. Even Su Shi, a great genius, must have an outstanding teacher to enlighten him. Jiang Gongbi was self-taught, and when he needed to be promoted, God blessed him and demoted Su Shi to his hometown.Su Shi instructed him patiently, and wrote a poem on his fan when he was leaving.Jiang Gongbi was puzzled, and Su Shi said: "Waiting for you to enter the imperial examination, I will be your foot." Many years later, Jiang Gongbi was finally named on the gold list, but it was a pity that Dongpo had passed away at that time.He traveled thousands of miles to Xuzhou to find the aging Su Zhe. Su Zhe made up the whole poem for his brother on the fan. ——Growing Yun has a different recipe, and the ancient gingers are under the wind.From the Qiongguan Fish and Dragon Cave, show off the Yangpo Calligraphy Field.How can the sea break the veins of the earth, and the vermilion cliffs are combined for a breakthrough.Brocade clothes will be seen by thousands of people in the future, making Xin Dongpo's eyes wide open. This poem witnessed the success of the first Jinshi in Hainan Island. It was completed by the Su brothers among the eight great masters of Tang and Song Dynasties. A rare treasure. The above things are very sunny, admirable and exciting. It seems that this is the spiritual core of Su Shi.really?If this is the case, then Su Shi is just a master of the spiritual victory method, and he just keeps himself from crying in the resignation. How can it be great? Su Shi never gave up hope. He always missed the north and firmly believed that he would go back.After three years in Changhua, one day, if Su Shi felt something, he said to Su Guo: "I swear not to be a foreigner. Recently, I feel like returning to the Central Plains." For this reason, he washed inkstones and burned incense, prayed to heaven, and wrote the eight Fu that he was most proud of in his life.那一天，六十四岁的苏轼凝神专注，挥毫泼墨，八篇名赋一一写就，居然一字不错。 苏轼大喜，吾归无疑矣！ 归去来兮，哪怕再晚，也要等到那一天。顺便说一句，这件事是真的。这八篇赋后来被一个妙人收藏了，这人是宋朝有史以来把太监这个特殊职业做得最成功的人，这样一个人，竟然对外宣称自己是苏轼的私生子，而且是遗腹类的…… 苏轼在宋元符三年（公元1100年）六月二十日渡海北归，结束了长达七年的文化苦旅，前方等着他的，终于是一片坦途，一片久违的阳光了。 可惜，上天只留给了他短短一个月的时光来回味这一切。苏轼一路向北，沿途游故地会旧友，把一生中所有的恩怨因缘都一一了断，甚至和章惇都通过信，表示并不太介意和子厚一生的交集。 他死在七月十八日的夜晚。 对于苏轼，我们忘了他的官场经历吧，要留意的是他的诗词歌赋，他是中国自残唐五代以来的第一大天才。北宋之后，中华文人如恒河沙数，不可胜计，可再没有任何一个是可以超越他的。 一生的磨难，仿佛是上苍赐予他的灵感。没有那些感触，怎能转化成那些文章佳句？他的每一点心灵波动，都是中华民族，乃至整个人类的精神瑰宝。 苏轼之才，竟然跨越了苦难，身在苦难痛楚中，居然越发明艳雍容。这一点，在中华文明史上是从所未见的，哪怕是一直以来，人们认为天分、成就高于苏轼的李白、杜甫也相形见绌。 李白飘逸雄浑，神化难明，天赋绝顶，可是山野气太浓，高兴时放浪形骸，失意时长歌当哭，情绪波动太大，完全被外界影响；杜甫虽然忧国忧民，一片赤诚之心，可惜忧过了头，文章里难免沾上了潦倒灰暗气。 只有苏轼，不管际遇怎样，心里都有一棵盛开的兰花。心有茂兰一棵，不为世事羁磨。这种从容的美丽，哪怕有再多的折磨，仍然能宁静地绽放。 从某种角度来说，正是宋朝命运、宋朝文化的缩影。
