Chapter 684: The Birth of a Writer (Part II)

Ninety percent of future generations will inevitably sympathize with Su Dongpo, there are too many Su fans and Li fans, it is best for Li Bai to be the prime minister, that is called fairness, Li Bai's virtue, can he be the prime minister?

In fact, no matter whether Da Su's poems are so serious or not, if they fall into the hands of Li Ding, Li Ding will not be polite. When Su Dongpo stepped on Li Ding, it was really stepping on it, and it would be several years to step on it, otherwise Li Ding's highest official position would not be just Zhongcheng in the imperial history, at least he could mix with the governor's political affairs. Now that Su Dongpo is in the hands of Li Ding, how can he be polite?

This is called repaying virtue with virtue and returning a tooth for a tooth!

Moreover, Su Dongpo offended too many people, and there were many people who rescued, most of them were knocking on the side, and to put it mildly, there was only one two hundred and five Wang Anli jumping up and down.

After Su Dongpo, who had not experienced any human suffering, arrived at the cell, after being threatened by the prison guard, and instigated by Li Ding, the presiding judge further intimidated, Da Su bent his knees and humbly confessed many crimes.

So the imperial court sentenced Su Dongpo to be an exile for two years.

The prison sentence is different from the arrangement, which is to be sent to a certain city for you to eat and drink, have a certain degree of personal freedom, and the time will not be very long. The prison sentence is placed in a remote area as a civilian, of course, the prison sentence of a scholar and the prison sentence of a civilian are the same, one is not the same, and the other is not heavy labor.

However, for the Song Dynasty, this sentence is not insignificant.

Dasu had no choice but to save himself.

He was imprisoned, and his wife Xiao Wang and his son also came to the capital, so Da Su agreed with his son that he would send food to the prison every day, and there must be vegetables and meat in the meal...... Da Su really likes to eat meat, but there is no such famous dish as Dongpo meat in the world.

If you learn that you will be put to death. and remove the meat. Fish instead. One day his son went out to buy food. I asked my relatives to deliver the food on my behalf, and I forgot to take care of it, and my relatives happened to send fish. When Da Su saw the fish, he was discouraged, thinking that this time was over, so he wrote two desperate poems:

The holy lord is like the spring of all things in the sky, and the ministers are stupid and die by themselves. Before a hundred years of debt repayment, it is even more tiring to have no return. It is a green mountain where bones can be hidden. He was alone on rainy nights. and Jun are brothers in this life, and they are married in the next life.

The frost of Baitai is bleak at night, and the wind moves to block the moon from low. The dream is like a deer in the heart of the clouds and mountains, and the soul is like a chicken. The rhino horn in the forehead is a true gentleman, and the cow clothes behind him are ashamed of the old wife. Where is the 100-year-old iQue? Tongxiang should be in the west of Zhejiang.

The guard transferred these two poems to Xiao Su, and then asked Xiao Su to find a way to transfer them to the emperor.

Xiao Su didn't know about fish and meat, and after reading these two poems, I didn't know how to say it.

It's a prison sentence, and the court is still debating whether to sentence or not, why is it so miserable?

So he gave these two poems to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji couldn't cry or laugh after seeing it. But my heart softened.

And the opportunity for Dasu also came, and it happened that Mrs. Cao was seriously ill. Zhao Ji gave amnesty to the world and hoped that Mrs. Cao's condition would recover as soon as possible. Mrs. Cao said: "There is no need to forgive the evil in the world, as long as Su Shi is released." In the past, Renzong was virtuous, and he was very happy when he returned to the palace, and said, I have got two more peaceful prime ministers for my descendants today. He's talking about the Su brothers, are you going to kill him now? ”

How could they be killed?

Hence today's question.

The amnesty is in the world, should Dasu also be pardoned?

If it were someone else, maybe it would be "innocence pardon", but what about Dasu...... Some ministers saw that Zhao Ji wanted to change his mind, so they suggested that they should be placed nearby, not as an apprentice, but as a nearby arranger, and punished him.

Li Ding was anxious, and immediately said: "Su Shi's treachery, today has all confessed, not far away is chaotic (referring to Su Dongpo's poems are widely circulated, so it cannot be placed nearby), and it is a bad law to be in politics, and I ask for special abolition of the grace of amnesty." ”

Shu Yan said: "Not only that, but Wang Xu, the commander of the horse, accepted Shi Zhi's ridicule of the imperial court text and gave Su Shi's money and property, and also corresponded with Wang Gong and leaked the forbidden Chinese language. The minister thought that although Su Shi had grievances and slandered his father, he was only passed on to the road. However, Wang Shu was deeply favored by the country, listed in the close relatives, and heard that Su Shi did not report it, but he was guilty of bribery, secret and Yan You, and if Wang Gong, he was even more of a bandit. ”

After a pause, he said again: "In addition to Wang Xu, Wang Gong, and Li Qingchen, there are twenty-two people who received Su Shi's sarcastic writings. For example, Sheng Qiao and Zhou Wei are insignificant, but others such as Zhang Fangping, Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, Qian Zao, Zeng Gong, Sun Jue, Li Chang, Liu Chu, Liu Zhi, etc., are all slightly able to recite the words of the ancestors, insulting the ministers and doctors, and those who should be expected to be the righteous of the monarch and the minister, are like this, and Gu Ke can ignore it and not punish it? “

The 22 people mentioned by Shu Kang are all from the old party.

Su Dongpo's big mouth squirted, of course these people liked it very much, so they exchanged many letters.

However, after Su Dongpo's accident, only Zhang Fangping rescued alone, and the others all watched from the wall, watching the show.

Don't say that Shu Yan is cruel, if history does not change, you can see how Liu Zhi and others started a more murderous battle for the local party.

And Wang Ju has always had a very appreciative attitude towards this Shu Yan, just like this year, he wrote to the road, I heard that the imperial court sent envoys to the state, and everywhere he went, he let the states and counties make and buy utensils.

Wang Ju first came to Guangnan, and then he also arrived in Guangnan, so he said to Wang Ju that all the way to Guangxi, the household registration is only more than 200,000, which is not as good as a large county in Jianghuai, but the people have 190,000 yuan for military service, 210,000 yuan for recruitment, and 90,000 yuan for leftover money. The people are poor, and there is no other way to compare. The superior family can not be the household in the middle and lower of Huxiang, and the service money is out, and there is tax money, the tax money is small, and the field of rice, the field of rice is insufficient, and the recalculation is in the body, the people of Guangxi, the body has a ding, both tax money, and rice, is a body to lose two taxes, far beyond the disadvantages of the previous life.

This number is higher than on another plane, because there is also a cotton servant.

Wang Ju said, you said well, please go to the court.

Then a series of reforms were launched, such as the launch of shipping, grain and cotton. Reduce or eliminate some of the extractions of the market.

Then standardize the two taxes and money. It was a helpless move. Some barbarians slash and burn, how to calculate taxes on acreage?

Wang Ju then issued an order that if two taxes were levied, no more money should be levied, and no more taxes should be levied if two taxes were levied, and it was forcibly stipulated that the two taxes should not exceed one out of ten. Then he and Liu Yi jointly wrote a note, and the imperial court agreed.

Wang Ju also made some other measures, and set up Shenming Pavilions outside the county offices on Guangnan West Road.

This is an idea that Zhu Yuanzhang came up with, a great idea.

All disputes over civil property, marriage, fighting, foundations, etc., were mediated by the Li Zheng and the officials in each mile to persuade the two sides to make some concessions, but it was really not good, so they had to beat the drum and ask the county to deal with it.

In this way, the counties will be able to withdraw from these trivial things, and don't learn from Wang Ju. There are too many people working under Wang Ju, where can other magistrates afford so many people? Then the county will have more energy to deal with local ills. Of course, if you don't want to be good, you spend all day drinking, and no one can do it. Moreover, after the mediation of his subordinates, the officials present also have a better understanding of what happened, so they can be quickly dealt with when they are transferred to the hands of the magistrate.

After this initiative was launched, it was very popular, Wang Ju was only used in Guangnan West Road, there were many barbarians, so it was mainly mediation, and the barbarian customs were different from the Central Plains, this measure effectively avoided many new officials because they did not understand the local customs, and the phenomenon of misjudgment, and it was also in line with the spirit of the Song Dynasty "peace is precious", so many governors in the south have promoted this Shenming Pavilion.

Wang Ju made a stone as a monument outside each declaration pavilion, deliberately wrote this tax rate, and there was a sentence at the back, such as Gao Zhi, killing officials is not guilty.

If the tax rate levied by the officials exceeds this rate, the people are allowed to kill the officials.

Zhao Ji issued an edict and asked.

Wang Ju said, this is a barbarian area, the officials are uneven, if not, a little higher, more than the burden of the people, there will be barbarian riots, a riot, how many people will die, how much silk will be used? It was only a special system in the barbarian region, and even without this regulation, the barbarians would dare to kill officials. With this regulation, the officials did not dare to do anything wrong, and the barbarians could govern. Your Majesty, don't worry.

Wang Ju didn't just say it for fun, he let the barbarians kill several important officials of the Song Dynasty on the side of Kuixia Road, and every time the barbarians rioted, more officials were killed.

What can Zhao Ji say?

Either continue to buy security, or govern, can the barbarians be careless?

It was these systems, coupled with the overhaul of infrastructure, farmland and water conservancy, and the development of commercial handicrafts, that led to the rapid and stable development of many barbarian areas, and the origin of the barbarian singing to thank Wang Ju.

Liu Yi was also very moved, Wang Ju did not really come to govern Guangnan, he used soldiers to fight his toes, and he needed money everywhere, this time, there was no doubt that he had less funds in his hands.

For example, the number of households has not changed from 200,000 to more than 300,000 households, and many of them have become familiar with them, and they are listed in the household register.

There are many barbarian areas that have started advanced farming, and how many pennies can be levied on the body? The two taxes are the big one. In addition, commercial taxes, as well as expanded regional taxes. The income of Quang Nam West Road has more than doubled.

This shows that after the financial crisis of the imperial court eased, many reformers also began to reflect and try to be as lenient as possible for the people.

Especially officials like Li Ding and Shu Yan, they are really clean-shaven, Wang Anshi has been given to Jiangning idly, and he has also bought a lot of land, and they have almost nothing left when they leave the officialdom. In ancient times, an official was not greedy at all, and that was very rare.

And they are working very hard, think about the poems sprayed by Su Dongpo, how can Shu Yan think?

Wu Chong said helplessly: "Su Shi is talented......

Don't make a big deal out of it, isn't one Su Dongpo enough? Now there are twenty-two more friends. So Wu Chong couldn't help but say, for the sake of the great talent, he can also be lenient.

Shen Kuo said: "I once asked Wang Zi'an through a letter, Jun has a poem to sing when he is a young man, why is there no poem or order now?" Prince Anxin replied that people's energy is limited, and even the mathematics book has no time to continue writing, not to mention the poetry. The queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not talented, why did he destroy the country? ”

In terms of fame, now Wang Ju is famous all over the world.

Even the destruction of the two countries, and the outcast, whether it is good or bad, everyone in the world is talking about Wang Ju.

In terms of the early fame, few people can compare with Wang Ju, and the few poems he plagiarized when he was a teenager are still being sung. But then it didn't.

Shen Kuo's words, does it mean that Wang Jucai is not as good as Su Shi?

The reason why there is no poetry and lyrics now is because there is no time. If you want to be a good official, you have to do things all day long, so you have time to write poems. Only those scholars and doctors who are not good officials can spend all day drinking, playing with prostitutes, and composing poems and lyrics.

Wu Chong was annoyed and asked, "Didn't Tang Taizong ever write poetry?" ”

"Will Tang Taizong delve into poetry? and Tang Xuanzong, what a talent, but in his later years, he was obsessed with beauty, and studied poetry and Danqing music and dance, what was the result? Since ancient times, how many heroes have made a name for themselves in poetry? Since ancient times, there have been several good ministers who have made a name for themselves in poetry, including Zhuge Wuhou, who is extremely talented, has he concentrated on poetry? ”

"Then you say that the prince is not a good looker?"

"The prince is a wise and emergency work, how much will he ignore national politics and concentrate on poetry?"

Wu Chong was speechless again, but scolded in his heart, this shameless one!

If the argument continues like this, how will Zhao Ji release people?

However, Xiao Su's eyes lit up.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, he immediately wrote a letter asking Wang Ju for help.

Don't underestimate Wang Ju's energy, now Wang Ju no matter whether the means are good or bad, but if he really destroys the two countries, he will soon have the power to destroy the three kingdoms, and with him pleading in front of the emperor, the eldest brother will be safe.

Then at any cost, the credit was given to Wang Ju as quickly as possible.

When Wang Ju saw this letter, he was speechless.

Do you need to help yourself? Soon, the Great Su will arrive in Huangzhou.

And it is also a good thing for Dasu, if it weren't for the secret party struggle of the Song Dynasty, would Sima Guang be able to write "Zizhi Tongjian"? The battle is what makes everyone look good...... Reading is a good history book.

Or if Sima Qian doesn't cut the balls, can he write the "Historical Records" in the annals of history?

If there is no Tang Dynasty, how can there be poetry immortals, if there is no Anshi Rebellion, how can there be poetry history. If there is no hardship this time, where will the Chibi Fu come from, and where will the world's unparalleled super writer come from!

But how did Guan Jian Wang Ju reply to Xiao Su?

Really for the sake of Da Su, he wrote a chapter to plead with Zhao Ji, and he was stupid! But if you don't help, it means that your friendship with Xiao Su will end here...... (To be continued......)
