Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Prison of Words

When Wei Qi returned to Lin'an, Lin'an was boiling, but it did not include King Deng's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even in broad daylight, King Deng's Mansion is very quiet.

Deng Wang Zhao Zhen, led Qian Xiangzu, followed by the secretary Nian Cheng Qian Duanyi, who was not confused, and walked into an extremely elegant courtyard, during which the rockery flowing water trestle bridge twisted and turned, and there was a huge Taihu Lake stone like a tiger, which was very luxurious.

Zhao Yan groped around the tiger on the Taihu Lake stone for a while, and then heard a loud noise.

The tiger slammed down on the rock, revealing a secret room door.

The three of them walked in one by one.

Tiger standing stone back in place.

After that, Zhao Zhen's personal guards stood by the stone with their knives, forbidding anyone to approach.

There was only one desk and chair in the secret room.

There are a lot of shady things placed, such as holding a Nine Dragons Yuyun Cup, which only the Son of Heaven is qualified to use - of course, Zhao Wei would not be so stupid to let Qian Xiangzu and Qian Duanli see it.

The Kowloon Yuyun Cup is covered with a red silk cloth.

Sitting down on the chair, Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "What are the plans, you can say it, no one knows here." ”

Qian Xiangzu didn't look aside, and said to Zhao Zhen: "According to speculation, Li Fengwu may really be His Royal Highness King Qing's person." ”

Zhao Yan was moved, "How can you see it?" ”

"Last night, His Royal Highness King Qing traveled in civilian clothes, and the Imperial City Division secretly monitored it, and our people also watched it, but when we arrived near the north tile of Zhong'an Bridge, the people of the Imperial City Division and our people were led away by the guard next to King Qing."

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly: "Li Fengwu's Wutong Commune seems to be indeed near Zhong'an Bridge. ”

Qian Xiangzu nodded, "That's why we speculate like this." ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "Zhang Shilang also told me about this, saying that Li Fengwu and the second brother were very close, but at that time I thought it was impossible, and Li Fengwu was not a threat enough at that time." ”

After a pause, "In this way, there is a good chance that what Zhang Shilang said." ”

Qian Xiangzu responded: "I'm afraid of it." ”

Zhao Yan perked up, "Does my father know about this?" ”

Qian Xiangzu shook his head, "I'm afraid I don't know, the Imperial City Division has no absolute evidence, and Long Dayuan and Zeng Mo will not risk offending the prince." ”

Zhao Yan thought about it, and it was true.

"So what do you mean...... Are we going to get rid of Li Fengwu first? This king thinks that the second brother is not enough to be jealous, but he should beware of my third brother, with the Li family as a sword outside, it is really a big trouble. ”

Qian Xiangzu smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, haven't you understood, in this Song-Jin War, His Royal Highness King Qing changed his benevolent style, personally put on armor and went to the battlefield, and made great achievements, and now His Royal Highness King Qing is not inferior to His Royal Highness King Gong in the eyes of the official family." ”

Zhao Yan was silent, "So, what are your best plans?" ”

This is to agree to knife Li Fengwu.

Regardless of whether Li Fengwu is Zhao Kai's force or not, he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

Qian Xiangzu glanced at his young third grandfather.

Qian Duanyi immediately said: "Your Highness, now that Li Fengwu is in the secretary prison, Weichen has a plan, which can make him fall out of favor in front of the official family, and it is very likely that he will even be demoted." ”

Zhao Yan was overjoyed, "Let's hear it." ”

Qian Duanyi said three words softly: "Wutai poem!" ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook and blurted out: "Text prison!" ”

This is the most well-known literary prison in the Great Song Dynasty.

The "Wutai Poetry Case" is a literary prison that occurred in the second year of Yuanfeng, in which Li Ding, Shu Yan and others extracted the sentences in Su Shi's "Huzhou Xie Shangbiao" and the poems they had written before to slander Su Shi.

During the Xining period, Song Shenzong reused Wang Anshi to change the law, and after the failure of the change, he engaged in restructuring in the Yuanfeng period.

At the turning point from the reform of the law to the restructuring, the case of Su Shi Wutai Shi occurred, which was first denounced by the superintendent of the imperial history, and then tried in the imperial history prison. Yushitai has been nicknamed "Wutai" since the Han Dynasty, so this case is called "Wutai Poetry Case".

Wutai refers to the Yushitai, in the Han Dynasty, there were many cypress trees outside the Yushitai, and there were many crows in the mountains, so people called the Yushitai Wutai, and also joked that the Yushitai were crows' mouths.

The reason is that in March of the second year of Yuanfeng, Su Dongpo was transferred from Xuzhou to Huzhou on the shore of Taihu Lake in Jiangsu.

In office, he made a poem "Huzhou Xie Shangbiao", in fact, it is just a routine, briefly describing the minister's past achievements at all, and then describing the emperor's grace, but he sandwiched a few words of grumbling after it: "Your Majesty knows that he is stupid and uncomfortable, and it is difficult to follow the new entry; He may be able to shepherd the small people. ”

In the sentence, "it" is a self-proclaim, and he uses himself as the opposite of "new entry", saying that he is not "making trouble", which is implying that the "new entry" character is "making trouble".

This offended the "newcomers" in the Imperial Observatory.

He Dazheng, the superintendent of the imperial history, quoted words such as "new entry" and "life", and labeled Su Shi as "fooling the court and arrogant".

But just one or two sentences in "Huzhou Xie Shangbiao" is not enough, but it just so happened that at that time, "Yuanfeng continued to add Su Zizhan bachelor Qiantang Collection", which provided an opportunity for newcomers to Yushitai to collect materials, and supervised Yushi Shuyan After studying hard in April, he found a few poems by Su Shi, and played to impeach Su Shi.

Immediately, Dr. Li Yizhi of the Kingdom and Li Ding, the Emperor of the Imperial History, were killed with their front feet and back feet, and they counted Su Shi's crimes and claimed that they must be beheaded for their rudeness to the imperial court.

Shenzong sent Emperor Fu to Xuan Su Shi into Beijing.

When Su Shi passed through the Yangzhou River and Taihu Lake, he thought about committing suicide by diving, of course he didn't, otherwise there would be no famous Chibi nostalgia and Chibi Fu.

Su Shi was not only arrested when he entered Beijing, but also sent to the prison of Yushitai for four months.

Although the group wanted to put Su Shi to death, beat the Great Song Dynasty and did not kill the scholars, and the Divine Sect was not far away to kill Su Shi, it was issued by the Holy Decree, and Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou to serve as the deputy envoy of the regiment, but he was not allowed to leave the area without permission and had no right to sign official documents.

In addition to Su Shi being demoted, Wang Xu, the concubine, was removed from all officials because he leaked secrets to Su Shi and often interacted with him.

followed by Su Shi's friend, poet and painter Wang Gong, who was disposed of by the imperial history and sent to the northwest.

The third is Su Shi's younger brother Su Xun, who once asked the court to pardon his brother, and he was willing to return all official positions to atone for his brother's crimes.

The others, Zhang Fangping and other senior officials, were fined 30 catties of red copper, and Sima Guang, Fan Zhen and Su Shi's eighteen friends were each fined 20 catties of red copper.

A major text case involving 39 relatives and friends of Su Shi and more than 100 poems shocked the government and the opposition.

This is the famous "Wutai Poetry Case".

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Wutai poetry case represented the literary prison.

Qian Duanyi nodded, his voice was gloomy, "Weichen is the secretary and supervisor, and he will think of letting Li Fengwu major in a book, and then Weichen will do something in it, and then let the people of Yushitai cooperate, which will inevitably put Li Fengwu in trouble. ”

Zhao Zhen was a little unconfident: "Father Emperor Shengming, I definitely won't believe these gossips. ”

Qian Duanyi glanced at Qian Xiangzu.

Qian Xiangzu nodded.

Qian Duanyi swore and said: "If this is the case, we still have a killer weapon, as long as we use this trick, not to mention that he is just Li Fengwu, even Su Xian will be strictly investigated." ”

Zhao Yan was very excited, "What is it that can have such power?" ”

Qian Duanyi smiled and said three words calmly.

Zhao Yan was stunned directly after hearing this. (To be continued.) )
