Chapter 949: Confession

Zhao Xu didn't believe it at all, and suspected that Su Shi was either tortured or had a bigger secret to hide. So he asked whether Li Ding had ever used torture.

Li Ding replied: "Su Shi was famous at that time, and his words could deceive the public to avoid others' words, so he dared not torture him."

Zhao Xu immediately thought of the conservatives in the court and ordered the Censorate to conduct a strict review and must find out everyone.

After getting this Shangfang sword, Li Ding immediately began to collect a large number of poems sent to others by Su Shi from all directions. A total of more than 100 poems were presented during the interrogation, and 39 people were involved in the case.

Among them, Sima Guang, the one with the higher official position, was this poem that Li Ding interrogated today.

After more than a month of torture, Su Shi's spirit was obviously a little dazed. Facing the gloomy face of Li Ding and He Zhengchen, he was already in a state of fear.

Li Ding shot several cases: "Su Shi! Now there are scholars in the capital who sell strategies and arguments. Among them, the one who is in charge of Mo is a ruthless person. The scholar has been captured. Since you are famous, why not ask him?!"

Su Shi raised his sleepy eyes: "Shi is a minister and dare not think about this, but he doesn't know who makes the words? He dares to admit anything else, but he must not admit this."

Li Ding said angrily: "At this point, do you still have to resist stubbornly?"

Su Shi said: "Dabo, Su Shi is now a little famous. Whenever a flirting person writes boring poems, he often writes them for despicable names. Su Shi is also difficult to tell!"

He Zhengchen said with a gentle voice: "Zizhan, your literary reputation has been popular for a long time and you have written many poems. You usually hold articles and smile. You are not without boring works, right? For example, your "Burning Pig Poem" and "Anshi Rocking Mountain" are both intentionally vulgar works. This is also the elegant and harmonious interest of scholars and officials, right?"

Su Shi said: "I have done the "Burning Pig Poem", but I didn't do it in "Anshidao made a rockery."

At that time, Wang Anshi implemented a new law, and a poem circulated in the capital, "Anshi made rockery, and many of them were dangerous and strange. Although I knew it was fake, I could really love it." **Naked satirizing Wang Anshi, and it was all written by Su Shi in the world.

Li Ding said angrily: "You still have to deny..."

He Zhengchen quickly grabbed Li Ding: "Okay, okay, then let's not talk about this song. When Sima Xueshu was completed, everyone wrote poems to congratulate each other. One of them was 'What's the matter with the teacher? I hope to cultivate all over the world. Children recite the truth. The barons know Sima. I smiled at the hands of Mr. Sima, and I have been so quiet for the years."

"You can't ignore this song, right?"

Su Shi had no choice but to say honestly: "I wrote this song."

He Zhengchen said: "This poem is a fact that the scholar Sima resents it because it is not heard. So, do you think there is any meaning of satirizing the new law?"

Su Shi had no way to deny it: "This poem says that people from all over the world hope that Sima Guang will be in power and cultivate the world. He can't see that he is in power because of ridicule. This means there is a saying."

"I also say that children and pawns know their surnames, but they cannot use them... Just speaking but not speaking is silly and silent. What they don't say is inherent, which is a new law."

He Zhengchen and Li Ding looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes, and Su Shi couldn't stand it.

Li Ding immediately took out two poems: "This, you and Yun Huang Tingjian's words: 'Jiagu lies in the wind and rain, the scoundrels and weeds are waiting for us. The abbot is in front of the formation, and the food is miserable.' But what?"

Su Shi said: "The first four sentences ridicule the villain today and look down on gentlemen, just like the hays who seize Jiagu. The latter means that gentlemen and villains have their own time, like mosquitoes and flies roaming in summer, and they will sank into autumn."

"I say that the valley is like a 'peach', and it will be too late to use it; but compared to the "bitter plum" to live a whole life because of uselessness."

"The next sentence 'It is not enough to be angry, and it is only painful to himself quietly.' It also reads the poem: 'Worry and worry about the small people,' and they all ridiculed the people who are now using it as villains."

Damn, Li Ding and He Zhengchen looked at each other again and saw the shameful and awkward expression on each other's face.

The two of them complained ten thousand times in their hearts. If Su Shi didn't say this, they would have thought that such an allusion was secretly hidden in the word "Silent"!

He Zhengchen quickly coughed and covered up: "Cough cough, let's talk about this song Tangcun."

The poem "Tangcun" says: "If you are a official and do not take responsibility, you will be scattered and envious of Changqing. If you do not return, you will be stagnant. If you stay in Yuanming, you will be ashamed of Yuanming.

The salt incident is in urgent need of fire, who can care about farming? Honghouxiao encourages it, and thousands of fingers are luogou pits.

The rain helps the government and the government, and the clothes are soaked. People are like ducks and pigs, splashing into mud and frightened.

I got off the horse and went on the deserted dike, and looked around but the lake. The route was not enough, so I competed with cattle and sheep.

Even if you return to the field, how can you lose your way in the mud? I send a message to my fellow mountain friends, be careful not to get tired of quinoa soup.”

There is nothing to say about this song, it has the style of Lao Du's "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". Until now, it is a complete ridicule of the government.

Su Shi also confessed that when he was the governor of Hangzhou, he was indeed dissatisfied with the Yanguan's fortunes in the Tang Village area at that time.

First of all, the timing is wrong, "the farmland is not over, so it is hindered from farming."

Secondly, the method is wrong, "There is sand surging in the middle of the river for several miles", it is not advisable to open a river.

The third is that the system is wrong, "farmers are not engaged in agricultural affairs."

The fourth is the wrong attitude, "The servants are in the mud, and the hard work is like ducks and pigs", etc.

He Zhengchen did not care about this, but only wrote the judgment, "Shi confessed to everything."

After recording the confession, He Zhengchen handed it over to Su Shi: "Scholars can see if there is no problem, please write a letter."

The word "吉" is also a thing that literati often play with. It is to create a symbol for themselves as their signature. For example, the "吉" of Song Huizong, which later generations explored, is a combination of "one person in the world" and "Tianshui".

Regarding the places where the text is smeared and revised, He Zhengchen pointed out one by one, asking Su Shi to read it, and then stamped the seal of the censor on it to show that it was not the time to deliberately modify it.

After doing these moves, He Zhengchen and Li Ding walked out of the door. Li Ding said to He Zhengchen: "I am afraid that Su Shi will not be punished for being severely punished in this way."

He Zhengchen smiled slightly, pulled out several of them, and combined the remaining ones into one: "What are you looking at now?"

Li Ding took it over and turned it over. All the words and sentences that Su Shi defended himself were gone. The rest were his confessions about his crimes. After this splicing and combining, Su Shi did not argue at all and pleaded guilty steadily.

Li Ding also smiled: "You still have a way."

At this moment, the yamen run hurriedly to report: "Not good! Mr. Su is here!"

Li Ding said angrily: "What kind of condolence is it? Isn't Su Song being tried? What does Shu Tan eat?"

The yamen runner waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's Bachelor Su, Tanhualang!"

"So fast?!" Li Ding couldn't help but be shocked. Su You had already returned to Beijing, and Er Su had not yet closed the case. He could even think of it with his toes, and things would inevitably be troublesome!

...

The East Pavilion of the Third Court, the Censorate and Dali Temple are jointly reviewing Su Song.

Under the instruction of Li Ding, the censors are trying their best to induce the offering.

Shu Dan advised Su Song, saying, "The prefect is an elder who has always been elegant and optimistic. Please confess yourself to avoid being trapped and humiliated and suffering from flesh and blood."

Su Song said, "What else is there to say? I have already made it clear to me."

Shu Dan induces confession again: "The prefect and the deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor Lu Gong are very good, and Li is the niece of Lu Gong. A company has received a report and cannot be blamed. Please ask Mr. Su to say that he can be given a lenient sentence."

Su Song said angrily: "If I make a false accusation, I should not die. If I want to slander myself, I will not avoid it even if I am serious. With my mouth, it is difficult to treat the censor's heart. Can the censor tell me how to slander myself?"

The two censors looked at each other: "Then start with the Water Transportation Eye Station."

Su Song said: "The melody station has been changed by Su Mingrun and no longer uses hydraulic power as power."

Shu Tan taught: "That was Su Mingrun's business, and the design drawings before the bachelor's school were named the Water Transportation Camera Station, right?"

Su Song nodded: "Yes."

Shu Tan smiled and said, "I inherited the virtue of fire in the Song Dynasty, and the scholar named Zhou Xing's Circulation Vehicle Water Transport. Is it necessary to extinguish the fire with water?"

"You!" Su Song's eyes widened: "Has the Censorate trapped someone, have you been so useless?"

Shu Tan's face turned cold: "You just need to answer, yes, or not."

Su Song finally calmed down and a breath of turbid air grew: "Yes."

At this moment, a yamen runner hurried over and whispered a few words in Shu Dan's ear. Shu Dan's face suddenly changed and he hurriedly stood up: "I have urgent matters after the trial today."

After saying that, he hurriedly followed the yamen runners out.
