Chapter 726

Several people looked at Xie Ao with a gaze and wanted to hear what happened, but he kept it aside, drank a little wine, and ate fish. Then he said, "Mr. Banshan asked Mr. Dongpo to write lyrics and poems together, so he asked Mr. Dongpo to buy a few Wuchang fish for wine to cheer up. He happily agreed and went to the fish stall to pick up a few big breams."

"Mr. Dongpo is a reincarnation of Taotie. He will definitely not know the truth or false like me!" Zhao Bing invited everyone to raise their chopsticks and eat fish together.

In his previous life, he knew that Su Shi was not only very literary, but also thought he was a standard foodie, but he was in the wrong political team, which led to a bumpy career. He was demoted from the north to the north and from the north to the south, and even Qiongzhou was not spared. However, he had a good mentality and could find delicious food wherever he went, satisfying his appetite, such as Dongpo pork, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo wine, etc. So that later restaurants were willing to use it to make a name for themselves and have some connections, so that his reputation among the people was even greater than that among the poems. Mr. Banshan was Wang Anshi, who was a workaholic and had no high requirements for quality of life, so Zhao Bing concluded that Su Dongpo could know the real and fake Wuchang fish.

"Your Majesty guessed wrong this time, it was Mr. Banshan." Xie Ao said with a smile.

"Oh, this is amazing!" Zhao Bing also smiled and spitted the fish bones into the scum plate.

"Mr. Banshan saw the fish bought by Mr. Dongpo, shaking his head and saying that there was a fake one. Mr. Dongpo was confused. After the fish was steamed, he verified it with this method. It was not until the last fish's bone was thrown into the clear water that three oil flowers were found in the water before the fish was called true. Your Majesty, please see, the two fish's bones were poured into the water before several oil flowers rose. I used this to determine that the fish were all real." Xie Ao said with a chuckling.

"Well, I understand. Mr. Banshan is still a kind-hearted person." Zhao Bing nodded after hearing this. He knew that the reason why Wuchang fish is delicious is that in addition to its delicate meat, it is also rich in fat that is beyond the reach of other fish. Only after it is cooked will there be so many oil flowers. It is precisely because of the characteristics of Wuchang fish to distinguish the authenticity.

"Mr. Wen, Gao Yu, today I received a banquet from His Majesty. I turned my back to the river and faced tens of thousands of soldiers in the enemy city. It seemed that Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Lang had planned and defeated Cao's soldiers when they were patrolling the river and strategizing. We should drink a cup together like the ancients!" Xie Fangde raised his glass and said.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Zhao Bing also picked up the cup, Wen Tianxiang knew that the little emperor never drank, and he was concerned about it.

"I'm happy today, it's okay for me to have a drink!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

The four people had a unique taste in eating fish and drinking on this river, especially when Zhao Bing saw the enemy troops on the city staring at him, but he did not dare to send troops to disturb him. He felt a sense of enthusiasm in his heart, and he unknowingly drank several glasses. At first, he thought that the Shaojiu was brewing wine, and the degree was not too high without distillation, but he miscalculated again. One was still young, the other had never drunk wine for so many years, and the other did not expect that the old wine would be full of energy and became a little drunk.

"The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes. To the west of the old building, the humanity is that Zhou Lang, the red cliff of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks penetrate the sky, the waves slam the shore, and thousands of snow are rolled up. The country is like a painting, and there are many heroes at the moment. I remember Gongjin back then, when Xiao Qiao first got married, his heroic figure was born. He was feathered fan and scarpment, and while chatting and laughing, the masts and oars were destroyed. My hometown is wandering, and I should laugh at me for a long time. Life is like a dream, and I will be sang the moon in the river." Xie Fangde drank a lot, and sang Su Shi's masterpiece during the meal, while Zhao Bing actually echoed with the chopsticks regardless of his identity.

"What is Your Majesty's favorite sentence?" After singing, Xie Fangde asked with a drink.

"Of course, it was a bit like a joke, and the slut was wiped out. This sentence is the most exciting thing for people to double. Others have more scholarly spirit, but less masculinity than men!" Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty has led troops to fight on the battlefield since he was a child. He naturally loved the golden swords and iron horses, but he did not understand the artistic conception!" Xie Ao shook his hands with drunken eyes.

"Haha, what Mr. Gao Yu said is true. The poems I wrote are still regarded as abandoned by several masters and never dared to show them!" Zhao Bing smiled and admitted his weakness, picked up the warm wine and poured them one by one for the other three, "I still don't understand. As far as I know, Mr. Dongpo and Mr. Banshan are as powerful as water and fire, how could they recite poems and poems together?"

After becoming emperor, Zhao Bing was very interested in official history and could not believe it at least. Therefore, he was interested in unofficial history and notes. He felt that although there were exaggerations or his imagination, some things were still credible. For this reason, he collected a lot of such things, one was to find some clues from them, and the other was to relieve boredom, and just used them as a pastime for curiosity stories.

Wang Anshi and Su Shi were both famous figures, so many idle people's notes recorded their anecdotes. Their ideology and literary styles of the two in the court were very different, resulting in constant personal right and wrong, and the so-called literati were inferior, and King Su was still erect. I recall that when Su Dongpo first participated in the ruling, he showed his sharpness and comprehensively put forward his views on the government in the policy. All examiners appreciated Dongpo's "literary meaning" and listed him as a high-ranking. However, Wang Anshi believed that many of Su Dongpo's views were contrary to his previous ten thousand words to the emperor, so he denounced Su Dongpo's writings as a complete Warring States article.

The first confrontation between the two was a bit of gunpowder. Wang Anshi's approach was obviously to cut off Su Shi's path to the official. When Su Dongpo was appointed as the Supervisor's Office, the officials in charge of the issuance of certificates and documents. They were very dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's good deeds and acts, and they vaguely ridiculed Liu Chang's memorial and later tried their best to oppose Wang Anshi's reform. As a result, Wang Anshi was very angry and regarded Su Dongpo as a powerful enemy and wanted to expel him from the court and then quickly. Therefore, Su Dongpo was greatly attacked and excluded by the reformists.

In the second year of Xining, Su Dongpo submitted a memorial to the tribute examination and should not be changed lightly. Shenzong admired his proposal very much. After meeting with him that day, he wanted Su Dongpo to revise the Regulations of the Secretariat. Wang Anshi tried his best to stop him and strongly recommended Lu Huiqing to take on this position. Shenzong also wanted Dongpo to revise the daily notes, but Wang Anshi said that Dongpo was not a "reward-looking person". Wang Anshi also repeatedly advised Shenzong to demote Dongpo. Before Shenzong heard this, Wang Anshi said that treating Dongpo must be treated like training "evil horses", "reducing the brittle and fodder, adding flogging, and making him obedient and sticking."

The mutual exclusion in political views has developed to showing off one's knowledge and teasing each other. This is the habit of two great scholars. When they meet, they mock each other and belittle them. Once, the two came to a forest of steles and saw a stone tablet a little tilted. Wang Anshi said, "So Dongpo of this stele is wrong!" Su Dongpo immediately retorted, "Anshi was not right at the beginning!" The two of them stood up for their talent and refused to give in to each other, which shows the whole story.

Another time, Wang Anshi considered that Su Dongpo had written twenty-five chapters of "Jince" before and advocated reform, and wanted to ask him to help him advocate political views. Wang Huai had a glimmer of hope to visit Su Dongpo himself. At that time, Su discussed Wang's book "Shuo" with several young scholars in his study. Wang Anshi said happily: "This is written to remedy the shortcomings of Xu Xushen's "Shuowen Jiezi". For example, the two words "Po" and "Du" are clearly understood, but Xu Gong actually interpreted them as phonographs. I think that "Po" is the skin of the earth; "Du" means whipping the horse with bamboo..."

However, in the year of Huizong, Cai Jing took power to attack the Yuanyou faction and designated Su Shi as a villain, and ordered all Su Shi's calligraphy, painting, articles and other related items to be destroyed, and those who secretly kept it were guilty. As a result, Zhao Bing also cut off the film here, and he couldn't figure out how the grudges of the two ended. Today, when they heard that they had drunk and ate fish together and wrote poems together, their curiosity was aroused again. Thinking that the few scholars in front of them were considered to have achieved success in their studies, they might know some of the things they had happened before.

"Your Majesty, Su and Wang did have evil spirits, mutually exclusive, and belittle each other. But after all, they mainly fight with their literary battles. In their later years, they finally failed in politics. After reflection, they all thought that it was their own jealousy that caused the main cause of the two's struggle at that time. After fame and fortune ended with the cigarette, they both repent and appreciated each other's talents after realizing their hearts and seeing their nature." Wen Tianxiang replied.

"What Wen Xiang said is right. In terms of political views, Wang Jiefu believed that Su Dongpo was a great talent and a loyal minister. When Su Dongpo was convicted of the Wutai poetry case, his life was in danger. At that time, none of the officials of different surnames in the court pleaded for Su Dongpo. After hearing this, he wrote to Shenzong from Jiangning to say, "How can there be a sage world killing talented people? Su Shi was finally released and saved from death." Xie Fangde said, "And Mr. Dongpo admired Jiefu's articles, knowledge, superhuman opinions, and decisive work. He once called the "Records of Yingzong" written by Wang Anshi the best written in the history books of this dynasty."

"In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Shenzong died, Zhezong succeeded to the throne, and the old party was restored. Everyone wanted to overthrow the reforms. Su Shi, contrary to the norm, insisted that the new law should not be abolished. The following year, when the last new law was also abolished, Wang Anshi could not suppress his inner pain and died of grief and anger. At that time, Su Shi had returned to the court. In the draft imperial edict to the Taifu, he wrote that in the draft imperial edict to the Taifu, he highly praised his political enemy and poet friend: The rosy text is enough to decorate all things; the outstanding everything is enough to move the wind."...

"Although they have different political views, they have never become real private enemies. They treat each other with a calm and open-minded attitude, upright and open-minded mind, admire each other in literature and become soulmates, and are politically tolerant and understanding each other. These two people have gone from mutual hatred to mutual appreciation, which is a good story. This is also the so-called dispute between gentlemen!" Several people talked about the anecdotes between the two, indicating that they had reconciled. Zhao Bing said with great emotion after hearing this.

"Yes, there are only two people who can speak up for justice in the dispute between the new and old parties, not afraid of personal honor and disgrace, and keep their word for justice in the career of the new and old parties. As the saying goes, there is no gentleman in the struggle between the Qingli Dynasty." Wen Tianxiang drank the wine and said.

"Drinking less Wen Xiang, don't talk about the previous dynasty again!" Xie Ao was shocked when he heard this. The blow was too great, especially since the emperor was still in front of him, it was very inappropriate to say such words. He hurriedly pressed his wine glass and said softly.

"Why don't you let me say it? Is what I said wrong?" Wen Tianxiang pushed away Xie Ao's hand.

"Your Majesty, Wen Xiang is drunk, please don't blame me!" Xie Ao quickly saluted the emperor.

"I think what Wen Xiang said is right. It was these gentlemen who ruined the Song Dynasty and caused the situation today!" Zhao Bing said with a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty..." The little emperor's words were so radical that everyone felt incredible, even incredible. Wen Tianxiang seemed to have woken up from his wine and said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, except for Su and Wang, Sima Guang, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and others who participated in it were all famous masters. Everyone can be called gentlemen. You may be inappropriate if your Majesty says something!" Xie Fangde said seriously.

"Mr. Jun Zhi, today's speech at the table is private, not involving the government affairs, nor is it a dispute between intentions, but only a debate on opinions. After getting off this ship, I will not admit my account. I have never heard of what you said. This is also a gentleman's appointment!" Zhao Bing thought about it, and then drank the wine in the glass and threw the cup into the river to show that what he said was not false.

"Okay, according to Your Majesty's wishes!" The other three looked at each other in unison after hearing this, and drank all the wine like His Majesty and threw the cups into the river.

"I think the chaos in our court should have started from the dispute between Fan Zhongyan and Prime Minister Lu Yijian, and there was a distinction between the new party and the old party; then Ouyang Xiu wrote "On the Fraternity" and there was also a theory of franticism, which was divided into a gentleman party and a villain party, which led to the two parties in the court fighting each other. Later, in the Xining reform, the struggle between the old and new parties reached a climax, and the government and government affairs continued, and there was no peace in the court and the country. Who can be called a gentleman party?" Zhao Bing asked back.

"What Your Majesty said is not false. At that time, Lu Yijian was the prime minister. He had been in the Secretariat for twenty years. He was in the late Ming Dynasty and was too powerful. He often appointed officials. Fan Zhongyan was the Kaifeng Prefecture. Seeing this, he painted a picture of hundreds of officials and suggested limiting the power of the prime minister to employ people. His heart was also a country. Later, Lu Yijian called the emperor pedantic and unusable. Fan Zhongyan joined the four books to satirize and criticize the current affairs, and even took out the matter of "deposing the queen" that year, and directly attacked the prime minister to destroy family laws and chaotic government affairs. Lu Yijian demoted him by saying things beyond his authority. The dispute between the two seemed to be a national matter, but in fact it was even more like a dispute of intention and spirit!" Xie Fangde thought for a brief moment, thinking that the dispute between the two was indeed not a dispute between gentlemen, but more like a struggle for power.

"Your words are pertinent and unbiased. But I think that in this dispute between the old and new parties, everyone can respect Confucianism and etiquette, which is more implicit, so the means of fighting are relatively peaceful. At most, it means demotion or exile, or carving stones to erect monuments to sweep the other party's face." Zhao Bing smiled.

"Then Your Majesty thinks Ouyang Xiu's "On the Party" is wrong?" Xie Ao couldn't say anything, so he asked back.
