Chapter 30 Section 18
In September of the third year of Xining, Shi Yue, who was immersed in the joy of "finally built", happily celebrated with the villagers of Baishuitan. He didn't tell Su Shi, Wang Anli, Zeng Bu, etc. until this time People, he plans to set up an academy in Baishuitan, and it will start recruiting students this month. He hopes that they will come to the academy to give lectures, and ask them to recommend some well-known scholars.
Shi Yue didn't know that during the two months of preparing the academy in Baishuitan, the dispute between the new party and the old party in the Bianjing court became more intense. Sima Guang hoped to make the last effort to persuade Wang Anshi to act cautiously and implement the new law, but he was awe-inspiring by Wang Anshi's righteousness. dismissed.When Sima Guang read to the young emperor what he was writing, he took advantage of the topic, pointed at the monk and scolded the bald donkey, and said that Lu Huiqing was a treacherous villain who deceived the monarch with clever words and tricks, which made Lu Huiqing gnash his teeth in his heart.
Lu Huiqing, who was incompatible with Sima Guang, repeatedly took the opportunity to provoke the emperor and Wang Anshi, wanting to get rid of Sima Guang and avenge him with one arrow; The Three Laws finally offended the New Party heavily.Originally, because of Sima Guang's great reputation, even the people of Liao Kingdom knew his reputation, so the emperor was always able to tolerate him, but he repeatedly advised Zhao Xu, who was eager for a cure, and finally convinced him that he was the biggest stumbling block to the new law. The so-called "red flag of the alien party" is the flag of the opposition party.At about the same time, Sima Guang finally decided that he and the ruling minister had different views and were not conspiring with each other. The emperor could no longer accept his proposition, so he decided to leave the court, so he took the initiative to ask the emperor. Xixia has repeatedly harassed the border with hundreds of thousands of people. Thousands of Song Dynasty frontier generals died in battle. A famous official in the world, well-known in Liaoxia, suggested that Sima Guang should go out to know the Yongxing Army—that is, Shaanxi, and assist Han Jiang to deal with the situation in the northwest.This is also a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. Sima Guang couldn't shirk the national crisis, so he took the opportunity to drive Sima Guang out of the power center; Look at the joke.
Su Shi, who encountered the same big trouble as Sima Guang, was suddenly falsely accused of selling illegal salt!This unfounded charge is obviously a kind of political frame-up, and the protagonist of the conspiracy is once again the New Party.When Su Shi was poor, Han Qi, the veteran of the three dynasties, gave Su Shi three hundred taels of silver, but he did not accept it. At this time, he was accused of smuggling salt and seeking profit with silk and wood, which made people laugh and cry.And he refused to accept Han Qi's gift of silver, which was also said to be an act of fishing for fame.Emperor Zhao Xu even said in front of Sima Guang: "Su Shi is not a good person."
Encountering such an indisputable matter, Su Shi could only be helpless.After all, he was just a young official in his thirties. Although he had a little literary name, he was not as famous as Sima Guang. At this time, Su Shi had no choice but to be disheartened and resigned to his fate, occasionally writing some poems to complain.
When Shi Yue, who didn't know it, handed his door card to the housekeeper of the Su's house, he found that everyone in the Su's house had a sad look on their brows.
Shi Yue and Su Shi had a long friendship. After meeting Su Shi, they asked why.Su Shi gave a brief account of the cause and effect, because he was afraid that Shi Yue would be even more reluctant to become an official, so he forced a smile to comfort Shi Yue and said, "I'm just a mediocre person, but it may not be a problem. The king's son-in-law told me that someone has been looking for the empress dowager." I told the queen mother that the emperor was only deceived for a while, and Ziming must not be discouraged because of this and lose his motivation to make progress. At this time, loyal ministers and righteous people should step forward." The king's son-in-law he was talking about was Song Dynasty The famous painter Wang Shen had a very good personal relationship with Su Shi.
Shi Yue secretly sighed: "Sure enough, we have come to this point, hey..." For a while, he blurted out: "Sima Guangquan knows the Yongxing Army, and he will be sentenced to Xijing Yushitai soon. This fate cannot be changed."
Su Shi stared at Shi Yue with wide eyes, and wondered: "Jun really sentenced Xijing Yushitai?"
Shi Yue knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly covered it up: "Brother Zizhan is a heretic, luckily don't let it out."
Su Shi was deeply influenced by Buddhism, and he had always been skeptical about these things. At this time, he was uneasy about his future, so he wanted to ask for comfort. Can this kind of supernatural power make a divination for Brother Yu?"
Shi Yue secretly complained, he naturally knew about Su Shi's fate, but he did so many things, who knows if history has changed?He had to laugh a few times, and said: "A wise man doesn't have to know his fate, he just does his best. Confucian disciples should not believe in strange sayings."
Seeing what he said, Su Shi didn't take it seriously, and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. Brother Yu is so vulgar..."
The two also talked about Shi Yue's preparations for the Baishuitan Academy in the past two months. Su Shi said solemnly: "Lectures in the mountains and fields, and cultivating talents for the country are also the right way. This is what Confucius did back then. However, the country is now troubled. Talent, in the temple but not in the rivers and lakes, you should think twice."
Shi Yue quickly leaned over and smiled, "Little brother, remember it."
After leaving the Su residence, Shi Yue didn't go home, he took a carriage and went straight to Biyuexuan Chu Yun'er, thinking carefully about the next step.
Seeing that he was full of thoughts, Chu Yun'er didn't dare to disturb him, and just quietly accompanied him beside him.
Shi Yue took a few chopsticks and placed them side by side on the table. It was Sima Guang, a powerful minister who admired him in the court, who had been dismissed; That's all... wanting to come to other people in the old party, at this time, they all feel sad and want to quit, right?Only Wang Anli and Zeng Bu could really speak for themselves in front of the emperor.
"There is no way, people are not as good as heaven, and the affairs of the academy can only be left behind." Shi Yue secretly sighed.Sooner or later, he will become an official. Is it possible that giving lectures in Baishuitan can change the wheel of the world?Without a certain amount of power, or in other words, unable to effectively influence the decision-making level of power, it would take hundreds of years to accumulate bit by bit, and I don't have this kind of patience.
"Miss Chu, sing "Li Sao" for me. I want to listen to that line: I have the kindness in my heart, even though I died a few times, I still have no regrets..." Shi Yue stopped counting, and smiled at Chu Yun'er.
Chu Yun'er was quite happy when she heard Shi Yue talking to herself, but when she suddenly heard these two unlucky words, her face turned pale with fright for some reason, and she said softly after a while: "Mr. Shi, this "Li Sao" " is too unlucky, why don't you change to Liu Sanbian's "Ding Fengbo"?"
"Forget it, forget it." Shi Yue said with a grin, "I wanted to do something tragic and generous for myself..."
"Strong travel? Is Mr. Shi going to travel far?" Chu Yun'er asked in confusion.
Shi Yue said with a cheerful smile: "That's right, it's time to go on a long journey. After taking this step, there is no way to turn back, and I don't know where the end is..." But Chu Yun'er had already sung: "... No, once the hatred is gone, there will be no one in the book... I knew it earlier, I regret that I didn't lock the saddle..."
"I regret that I didn't lock the carved saddle at the beginning..." Shi Yue also hummed softly, but secretly asked in his heart: "Can I lock the carved saddle? Can I lock the carved saddle? On Chang'an Road, there are no repeat customers. ..."
People also get drunk.
