Su You said: "Wang Dingguo does not have the slanderous poem you wrote in his hand. Of course he is innocent and suffered, but the more reason is because of Wu Xianggong and Feng Shi."

"Pinzhou is now also a small hardware processing base. After the stability of the South China Sea, the Song Dynasty has formed a regional advantage over the barbarians in Guangnan. A few months ago, a group of Dong barbarians tried to rob the gold mine in Gubutong, but were killed by Nong Zhigao's younger brother Nong Zhi.

They will lead their clansmen to exterminate them. The imperial court awarded Nong Zhihui brocade robes and jade belts, and was promoted to deputy envoy of the Palace and Garden, with full salary for life. Now they are loyal ministers of the imperial court."

"Politics is like this. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. The leaders of Nongtong now rely on the court's mining development technology, and their profits are much greater than before, so the basis for this cooperation exists."

"If we put it in the Han and Tang dynasties, those places would definitely be conquered directly by military force. The Song Dynasty was relatively mild, and economic means were used well, and the effect was no worse than military conquest."

"So Guangnan West Road is now in a good period of development. If your friend goes there, I believe he will be surprised."

This was said in a rather vague way. The small hardware base was the industrial radiation range of Sitong. What Su You meant was that as long as Wang Dingguo got there, he would be properly taken care of.

This is actually what Su Shi meant when he mentioned this: "A child of a Dingguo family, rich in clothing and food, but now I can't live in Hanbin, but he has to live in Nanling. The climate of Nanling is vicious, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. I have a little uncle."

If someone takes care of you, then I can rest assured."

Su You laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. In fact, it's just about paying attention to hygiene, preventing mosquitoes, drinking boiled water, and preparing plenty of cooling and repellent medicine."

"When Li Changjie was recruited, the military promulgated the "Health Management Regulations" and strictly followed those regulations. I guarantee that nothing will happen to him."

Su Shi finally felt relieved, and everyone started talking about their experiences in the past few months.

When Su Shi was imprisoned, the people who were most active in rescuing them were Zhang Fangping and Fan Zhen, and they were also fined the largest amounts.

Many articles in later generations said that when Da Su was imprisoned, the conservatives did not come to rescue him, but the reformers said a lot of good things. This is a distortion of the rhythm.

You must speak conscientiously, conservatives, you didn’t even have time to protect yourself at that time!

Fan Zhen, a fellow Sichuan fellow of Su You and Su Shi, was from Huayang like Wang Yuyu, and he was a proper conservative.

He wrote five letters against Wang Anshi's reforms, and the last time he directly criticized Wang Anshi in his essay for using joy and anger as rewards and punishments, "Your Majesty has the talent to accept remonstrances, but the ministers refuse remonstrances; Your Majesty has the nature to love the people, but the ministers use the method of crippling the people."

.”

Wang Anshi was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, so he personally drafted an edict, scolding Fan Zhen, and asked Fan Zhen to retire early with his official position as Minister of Household Affairs.

Fan Zhen expressed his gratitude before leaving, but still insisted on his own plan, and asked Zhao Xu to "collectively discuss as the eyes and ears to eliminate the traitors who block the enemy, and let the old man become the confidant to maintain the blessing of peace."

Su Shi was considered his protégé and went to congratulate him, saying, "Although I have retired, my reputation has increased!"

But Fan Zhen was very sad and said: "A gentleman listens to his advice and eliminates troubles before he emerges. He makes the world suffer from his blessings. He has no reputation for wisdom and no bravery. I am the only one who can't do this. The world is harmed by him and I enjoy his name.

What's wrong with me!"

Regardless of political literacy, at least his character is very noble.

Su Shi looked ashamed again: "Zhang Gong and Fan Gong have already served, and I am really worried about being dragged down by me this time. By the way, fortunately, Zhang Gong's last letter was not sent in, otherwise, I'm afraid I would still be here now.

Can’t get out.”

Su Che also felt lucky: "I have also read the memorial letter. Zhang Gong likes you too much and loses his sense of proportion. This is like Zheng Chang rescuing Gai Kuorao and saying that brother, you are a genius in writing."

, I also want to surrender to the Wengu, which is enough to anger your Majesty."

What Su Che told is a story from the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Gai Kuanrao was the Sili Xiaowei during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. This position was created during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was specifically responsible for supervising the capital.

From the queen to the prince, down to the ministers and hundreds of officials, they can supervise together, so they are called "tiger ministers".

Gai Kuanrao was upright and upright in serving the public, and he established the dynasty with integrity. All the officials, ministers and nobles were afraid and hated him.

At that time, Emperor Xuan used the criminal law, trusted the eunuchs of Zhongshangshu, and Gai Kuanrao repeatedly spoke up. Emperor Xuan believed in the slander and refused to accept the slander, so he refused to change his slander and refused to change it. He ordered him two thousand stones. I held Jinwu's proposal and wanted to convict him of the crime of treason and immorality.

The official Zheng Chang was worried that Gai Kuanrao was loyal and concerned about the country, and was slandered by officials because of his inappropriate remarks, so he wrote a letter to plead for Gai Kuanrao. He wrote: "Sili Xiaowei Kuanrao, I don't want to live in peace."

, Eat without seeking to be full; advance with the heart of worrying about the country, retreat with the meaning of death; no permission from above, the subordinate of history, no gold from below, Zhang Zhizhi."

The four people mentioned in the last sentence, Xu Bo is the father-in-law of Emperor Xuan, Shi Gao is the mother-in-law of Emperor Xuan, Jin is Jin Rixi, and Zhang is Zhang Anshi. "Emperor Xuan listens to all members of these four families."

This is not only asking for help, but also accusing Emperor Xuan of indulging the powerful and wronging the loyal, and even vaguely mocking the emperor for being afraid of these powerful relatives.

When Emperor Xuan was exposed, he became even more angry and said, "Then he sent down the official Kuan Rao. Kuan Rao drew his sword from the foot of the north gate, and everyone took pity on him."

After Zhang Fangping heard that Su Shi was imprisoned in Nanjing, he immediately wrote a letter to argue for Su Shi. As a result, no official in Yingtian Mansion dared to surrender to Lao Zhang.

So Lao Zhang became even more angry and ordered his son Zhang Shu to go directly to Bianjing with his letter and submit it to Wenguyuan.

If this is really done, it will be a national scandal, and a huge relationship will be revealed!

Fortunately, Zhang Shu did not have the courage. Although he could not disobey his father's orders, he had no choice but to come to Bianjing with the memorial, but in the end he "wandered and did not dare to vote."

As soon as Su Song left the Yushitai, Zhang Shu quickly went to him and asked how to operate.

Seeing Lao Zhang's memorial, Lao Clan brother was also frightened, so he quickly collected the article and sent Zhang Shu back.

Su You nodded: "Ziyou's knowledge is good. Mr. Zhang was anxious to save Zizhan, so he messed up. If this memorial is really sent to your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be another setback."

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then how should I submit a letter based on my opinion?"

Su Che raised his hand and said, "What's the crime of my eldest brother? It's just that his literary reputation is too high and he competes with the imperial court alone."

"If Mr. Zhang defends him now, it will only increase his anger."

"It is better to just say that this dynasty has never killed scholar-bureaucrats for crimes based on writing. Now is the beginning, and this trend started from Your Majesty."

"If future generations kill wise men and officials because of this, they will surely make an example of your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is afraid of discussing good reputation, so he will surely pardon his elder brother."

Su You smiled: "You can indeed save me this way, but from now on, a nail has been buried in His Majesty's heart."

"So your way of dealing with it, after all, the butt is still crooked. It's a technique, not a Tao."

"The king of Qingming cannot take advantage of others, but can only deal with them."

"Da Su is not guilty, but he has committed a crime. If he has committed a crime, he must admit it. If he is not guilty, he must analyze and understand it."

"Today, at least there is a monarch who can listen to the truth. The best way to deal with it is to understand it with emotion and move it with reason."

"Telling the truth clearly, analyzing right and wrong, then admitting the parts that should be acknowledged, confessing the parts that should not be borne, and actively asking for punishment is the right way."

"As for the villains in the middle, as long as the channels of communication with His Majesty are cut off, there is nothing they can do. Instead, they will try to deceive Shengcong and cause disaster."

"What Ziyou did was that he did not trust others to act impartially, so he used tricks to deceive others and force others to do so."

"Although doing this may save Zizhan for a while, it will not save Zizhan for his whole life."

Su Che held up his hands: "Uncle Yao, what if Your Majesty still insists on punishing the elder brother?"

Su You said calmly: "If the Tao is not good enough, it will float in the sea on a raft. The "Shu Zhu" makes it very clear."

Su Che nodded: "Zhe has learned a lesson."

There are many experts who have explained this sentence, but Su You chose to bring it up in "Analects of Confucius" because the explanation in it is like this:

——In this chapter, Zhongni is worried about China and cannot follow his own way.

——Since my good way cannot be practiced in China, even if I want to float across the sea on my raft and live in Jiuyi, how can the common people follow my own way?

Su You laughed, tilted his head and asked, "What's the reason for following me?"

This is the second sentence of the previous sentence. "You" here originally refers to Zilu, and Zilu is also called Zhongyou.

Now Su You is using it to make fun of Su Che.

Su Che cupped his hands and said, "It's not a bad idea."

Su You shook his head and said: "Don't forget, even the Master lamented - 'Yu Ye is so braver than me and has nothing to draw from.'"

The exchange between the two continued to quote the continuation of the "Analects of Confucius" just now. The full text is "The Master said: 'The way is not good, and it floats on the sea on rafts. How can you follow me?' Zilu was delighted when he heard this. The Master said: 'It is also good.

If you are braver than me, you will have nothing to draw from.'"

It means that Zilu, you are more courageous than me, but don’t forget, we have no place to get the materials to build the raft.

Su You said seriously: "Is it true that Master can't find the materials to go to the 'other shore'? I don't think so. It's just that he has too many ties in this world, and his favor is too deep, and he really can't bear to 'let go'

That’s right.”

"This should be the difference between those who govern Confucianism and those who are Buddhists. Zhan Ziyou, you are smart people. Naturally, I don't need to remind you more about this section."
