Chapter 145

Su Dongpo

Su Dongpo is a famous talented man in the world. He is respected and sought after everywhere he goes. After returning to Huzhou from Yingzhou, Lingnan, he lived a comfortable life. Huzhou is located on the south bank of Taihu Lake and is a typical fishing and rice town. In addition to managing the place, he came to sail on Taihu Lake, and lived a very comfortable life with the famous scholars who visited him.

As a result, the storm of chasing Gao Taotao, Su Shi was thrown to the forefront. When he was so arrogant that he was extremely favored by Gao Taotao. When he was demoted to Huangzhou, Gao Taotao had helped Su Shi plead with Shenzong more than once;

During Gao Taotao's reign, Su Shi did not serve as a high-ranking official in the court, but also went to a prosperous place like Hangzhou to become an official. In general, Gao Taotao treated him well.

It is precisely because he is so favored by Gao Taotao that Su Shi himself cannot escape the consequences of chasing Gao Taotao this time;

At this time, if Su Shi stayed honestly in Huzhou and kept silent, he would probably have been safe;

But Su Daqian may also think that Gao Taotao treats him well. The new party pursues Gao Taotao. If he doesn't stand up and says a few words, he will inevitably be suspected of being ungrateful.

So Su Dazi submitted a letter and strongly condemned the New Party's behavior of pursuing Gao Taotao. Zhang Shangying has always been unhappy with him. When Zhang Shangying investigated official documents in the ninth year of Yuanyou, Su Shi was the first person to be arrested by Zhang Shangying. Now at the forefront, Su Shi stretched out his pain again, so how could Zhang Shangying be polite?

So, Su Dacaizi was demoted again!

These are not the reasons why Yang Yi was surprised. The reason why his eyes almost fell out was that Su Shi, like him, was demoted in Huanzhou. He was the governor of Huanzhou and Su Shi was the magistrate of Huanzhou. How could this be followed? The world-famous Su Dazi actually became his subordinate?

Yang Yi felt it was ridiculous about this. Who did this? Yang Yi almost wanted to go back to Tokyo to ask clearly, and get the guy who did this and sneak all the way to Huanzhou!

It’s not fun to be a talented man like Su Dongpo as his deputy. Can anyone control anyone like Su Dongpo?

It’s a pity! It would be fine if he and Su Dongpo had a consistent political opinion, but the two of them had a clear position, each standing on one side, and when they arrived in Huanzhou, they wanted to have a good show!

Lao Su! I finally got you back to Huzhou, why are you doing this? Wouldn’t you be good to enjoy the scenery in Taihu Lake? Oh, and there are Sanbai in Taihu Lake, don’t say you’re tired of eating it!

In order to avoid a quarrel with Su Dacaizi as soon as he arrived in Huanzhou, Yang Yi decided to temporarily put down his Shangguan status and greet Su Dacaizi first with the courtesy of his younger generation. This should not be embarrassing. Who makes people look so old that they are famous all over the world? Many people don’t have the blessing to ask for a meeting yet!

While comforting himself like this, Yang Yi got off the car, rolled over the dark clouds and covered the snow, and headed straight to Su Shi's car.

Su Shi wore a spring shirt, his hair was a little scattered, lying on the beauty's lap, and the car was rumbling. When he drank in the pot, wine dripped from time to time, and his slightly gray hair and beard not only did not make him look old, but also looked a bit more vicissitudes of life.

Su Dongpo was already half drunk and half awake at this time, and he was still unconscious of Yang Yi's arrival, and his singing was filled with a strong Sichuan-Shu local accent.

"My younger generation, Yang Yi, has seen Grand Secretary Su, but I don't want to see Grand Secretary Su's style today. It's really a blessing in my three lives!"

Yang Yi jumped off the horse and bowed in front of the car. Su Dongpo heard the sound, opened his blurred eyes, turned his head and glanced at him;

Yes, I don't know each other!

He raised the pot and drank it again, and then half mocked himself and half teased, "Flavor? What kind of style can I say? I am still sick at Dongpo, and my white beard is scattered and the frost wind is covered with the child. The child mistakenly likes the red face, but when he smiles, he doesn't know it's wine red! Hahaha..."

Yang Yi was choked very much. The child mistook Zhu Yan and was there? Did I become a child?

He has always been a master who will not suffer any losses. Since Su Shi was so joking, he also laughed and said, "I was the son of the 18th winter and was renowned for his name Ren Zhi. Now he has been demoted to Huanzhou Prefecture. It's great that the judge is a sick man! Hahaha..."

Yang Yi did not mean to compete with Su Shi for poetry. These four limericks were both self-introduction and response to Su Shi's conversation. After answering, he got up and jumped on the horse and was about to leave, but Su Dongpo's laughter on the beauty's knees came to an abrupt end.

"Yang Yi? Yang Renzhi?"

Yang Yi smiled and bowed: "With the Grand Secretary Su's inquiry, it's Yang Yi and Yang Renzhi. Now we have the same way as Grand Secretary Su. We have more time along the way. We will not disturb Grand Secretary Su's drinking fun now. Come and ask for advice again the next day, hahaha..."

After Yang Yi finished speaking, he ignored Su Dongpo's reaction and shook the reins, dark clouds covered with snow roared and stood up, and then rushed away like an arrow from the string. One man and one horse were so heroic that it made little stars appear in the eyes of the two beauties in the car.

Looking at Yang Yi's distant figure, Su Shi was also a little stunned. He sorted out his scattered bun, picked up the wine pot and took a long sip. He was demoted to the poor mountains and rivers like Huanzhou. He was inevitably a little depressed. The way he drank and sang was also a kind of vent.

Although Su Dongpo is bold and unrestrained, he is not a person who is ungrateful. Now, as a Shangguan, Yang Yi put down his airs and came to see him as a junior. The etiquette is impeccable. What's more, if it weren't for Yang Yi, he would have been demoted to Hainan. In private, Yang Yi has kindness to him.

However, as the newly rising backbone of the new party, Yang Yi was the first to take off his official hat and force the palace to force him to be abducted by the government. His role was immeasurable, but Su Shi was extremely dissatisfied with his behavior.

Alas! It was the first time we met, but the grievances between us were hard to clarify. Now we have to go to Huanzhou to become an official, so... Su Dongpo's mood became complicated.

When Yang Yi returned to the car, Qing Niang immediately asked happily: "Brother Yang, is it really Grand Secretary Su behind him?"

Su Dongpo is Li Gefei's mentor. When he met Su Dongpo, he blamed Li Qingzhao for being so happy. Moreover, Su Dongpo was talented and was the object of worship by countless girls in spring boudoir. How could Li Qingzhao, who loves poetry, be exceptional?

Uh... Su Dongpo and Li Qingzhao are a representative of the bold school, a representative of the graceful school, and a representative of the soybean school; Oh my God! Now Huanzhou is lively!

"Qing Niang! Grandma Su is drunk. Wait until dusk to check in the inn, and you can go and pay his respects to him!"

"That's it? Well, Qing Niang knows!"

When he checked in Zhengzhou Inn at night, Yang Yi took a look at it. Among the five cars of Su Dacaizi, two of them were filled with poetry and books, and three of them were filled with beauty;

It's really the wind

A talented man! There were five beauties accompanying him, both of whom were not young, and the youngest was about thirteen years old, and they were all pretty;

Moreover, Yang Yi noticed that Su Dacaizi seemed to like the three-inch golden lotus very much. Among the five beauties, three of them were covered with legs, and they walked like a weak willow and a gentle and weak one.

In these days, it’s nothing to have a few beauties around you, and Yang Yi has long been accustomed to this. Who doesn’t have ten or twenty concubines in the family? Like Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, it is extremely rare to not take concubines in his life.

There is a green pine tree in the front yard of the inn, and there are stone tables and benches under the pine tree. The clear moonlight sprinkles from the ridge of the tile, like the green frost on the ground.

Yang Yi opened a jar of Drunken Fairy wine brought by Tokyo and poured it on the stone table in the Pineapple;

Su Dongpo was led by Qingniang and came to Panasonic. Perhaps he had drunk too much along the way, so he was still a little unsteady when he walked! However, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the wine, he immediately pushed away the beautiful concubine who helped him!

"Good wine!"

Su Dongpo sat down on his own, and after the wine jar, he poured a bowl for himself, raised his head and dried it all, then closed his eyes and stroked his long beards, as if he was savoring it carefully.

Yang Yi found that he hesitated when pouring the wine. Perhaps he was surprised that such a fine wine was actually a crude big bowl.

Yang Yi smiled and said, "When I go out, I often use coarse porcelain bowls when I drink. Is Mr. Su probably not used to it?"

The concubine who helped him also saw Su Dongpo's hesitation, Yingying bowed and said, "I will take the Grand Secretary's Blue and White Cup now."

Yang Yi smiled but said nothing, Su Dongpo still closed his eyes and stroked his beard, and the concubine left.

When the concubine brought the exquisite blue and white wine glasses, Yang Yi still poured wine into his thick bowl. Except for Su Dongpo, everyone else was stunned. Qingniang looked at the two sitting next to the table, with a little worried face.

Su Dongpo filled his blue and white cups, and said without looking at Yang Yi, "If you have any wine or any cup, you should pay attention to it, otherwise you will be like a pearl that will fall into the darkness, and you will lose three points of taste after all."

Yang Yi picked up his big bowl and took a sip, then looked up at the moon, and aftertaste it beautifully: "Only the pearls can shine through the darkness, they can emit its own brilliant light!"

"No rules, no order."

"The rules should vary from time to time, otherwise if you stick to the four and six things in the world, how can you get the colorful poems of Grand Secretary Su?"

"Some rules can be changed, but how can they be changed in heaven, earth, king, parents, teachers, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

"The king, relatives and teachers should set an example and should not be a taboo for the respected people in everything. Otherwise, can the respected people be able to escape the rules?"

"No one is perfect, but there are still some perfect people in the world. If you don't deny it by the respected person and slander it because of some minor mistakes, then who should be the example of the world? Wouldn't the world be completely destroyed?"

Yang Yi was stunned. Su Dongpo's words made sense. The Western world takes Jesus as his faith and the Bible as his moral norm; and the land of China is actually an atheistic world. No god can become a model for the world like Jesus in the West. However, if social order is to be maintained, it must set some examples for people;

So this phenomenon of being taboo by the venerable is established from top to bottom, and a set of principles and ethics are established. People at the top of society are actually regarded as models of the world, or beliefs.

If it is slandered at will, the entire social ethics may fall into chaos, just like the image of Jesus in the West collapsed.

But how could Yang Yi admit defeat? He thought for a while and replied: "Women follow their fathers at home, follow their husbands when they get married, and follow their sons when they die. Xuanren arbitrarily changed the policy program of Shenzong, which is itself destroying the principles and ethics. How can it be used as a model for the world?"

...

The pine wind gusts, the bright moon is like a jade, and the night wind comes to cool down. Su Dongpo and Yang Yi, one holding an exquisite blue and white cup and the other holding a crude big bowl, drank a pot of wine together.

But the exquisite blue and white cups and crude big bowls should not appear on the same table, so it is destined that both sides cannot go together.

Yang Yi is not a person who easily compromises, nor is Su Dongpo. Fortunately, although both sides have different opinions, they did not turn against each other; but the indifferent barrier is like substance, crossing the middle between each other.

After a pot of wine was over, the future leader and second-in-command of Huanzhou dispersed, leaving only a cold moonlight under the pineapple.

On the way back to the house, Qing Niang pulled Yang Yi's sleeve, looking like she was eager to speak but stopped. Yang Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qing Niang, the future is long!"
