Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 283
Anger belongs to anger, profit belongs to profit, a shrewd person is revenge, and the means are extremely vicious, but he will always weigh the pros and cons, and will never destroy the bottom line of the balance, Cai Xing is the bottom line, once the bottom line is crossed, the entire Cai Xing The family fought back.

However, he and Liang Shicheng exchanged chips, and it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage. Rectifying Su Shi's name is not an easy task, and he still needs to be cautious.

A thought flashed across his mind, he had an idea, and said lightly: "Sir, I can't think of next year, there will definitely be unexpected results."

"Not next year?" Liang Shicheng didn't expect it to be so soon, and was pleasantly surprised.

"Well, it should be." Looking at the other party's sincere face, Wang Xiu felt that Liang Shicheng should be Su Shi's son.However, next year's statement is his calculation, at the end of the seventh year of Xuanhe!

Those who don't plan for one thing are not enough to plan for one side, and those who don't plan for a while are not enough to plan for eternity, and vice versa.

Those who achieve great things do not stick to small details, and there is no unchanging truth. Reasons move freely and intentions follow the heart. This is the essence of the study of mind. Wang Xiu gradually entered a better state, and he adjusted his own psychology.

He was summoned the next day, and he bombarded Zhao Ji with poems and essays, which made Zhao Ji marvel at his talent again, and even Liang Shicheng couldn't help being moved.

Of course, the noble ladies of the court almost went crazy, those poignant and tactful little words made their hearts drunk.

"The Qing family has restored the demeanor of a master of poetry, but it makes people stunned. I am afraid that the Shilin in Tokyo will set off a craze for Wang Ci again." Zhao Ji's face was full of surprises. I sincerely appreciate your literary talent.

Liang Shicheng also acted as a helper at the side, and said with a smile: "The poems of Zhige can also be compiled into a book, so that they can be passed down to future generations in the future."

Wang Xiu said modestly: "The senior officials have said that, with such a meager talent, how dare you make a fool of yourself, but the poems, calligraphy and paintings of the officials can be famous forever."

"The Qing family also talked too much, ha ha." Zhao Ji trembled excitedly with his long beard. A literati has a good face, especially being recognized by other literati. In essence, he is a literati, or a really learned literati.

"The officials are modest, and the officials are the most talented and knowledgeable in the world. Only Sima Xiangru, Ji Kang, Li Taibai of the previous generation and the literary giants of Qin, Liu, and Su of the current dynasty are comparable." .

"They are all peerless literati, how dare I claim to be the best in the world, even the masters of this dynasty are not inferior to me." Zhao Ji smiled, his face gradually softening.

Master Liang thumped in his heart, and stood aside with a dull face, as if he hadn't heard anything, but he was thinking about what Wang Xiu would say, if he could impress Zhao Ji, he would help, if he couldn't, then Wang Xiu would ask for more Blessed.

"The Qing family respects Su, Huang and others?" Zhao Ji said indifferently.

"Of course, Dongpo Layman's collection of literary achievements, although a little less elegant than the official family, is definitely one of the best literati in this dynasty."

Liang Shicheng swallowed his saliva, and looked like an old god, as if I didn't know Wang Xiu, but I peeked at Zhao Ji's face and it was already very ugly.

Wang Xiu didn't seem to see Zhao Ji's face, and still talked freely: "Back then, Taishi Cai proposed to ban the writing of Su and Huang Zhugong, and I thought it was inappropriate."

Liang Shicheng was almost killed by lightning, and his eyeballs almost fell out. He never thought that Wang Xiu, who had always been shrewd and ruthless, would be so childish.

However, he still regretted it, regretted looking for Wang Xiu to plan, this guy is the decisive master of killing?He is simply a reckless man, maybe he will be implicated in it.

Zhao Ji was very unhappy and said: "This matter is a final conclusion, the Qing family should not bring it up again."

Ordinarily, Zhao Ji didn't scold Wang Xiu, but just reminded him not to say any more, showing his favor to Wang Xiu, a smart person would definitely keep silent, Wang Xiu didn't seem to realize this, and still said: "Officials, I know that it is a conclusion, Xueshi Cai compiled the poems of the Western Qing Dynasty and ignored the dignity of officials, this is a crime of disrespect, and should be severely punished, and all accomplices must also be punished."

Zhao Ji calmed down and nodded slowly, but Liang Shicheng had black lines all over his head.

"However, you can't completely wipe out a person with political opinions. It is true that Dongpo Layman opposed the new law, but he also scoffed at conservatives, especially to Zhang Xianggong. It's really hard for me to understand." Wang Xiu's words were righteous and fearless.

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Xiu in surprise and remained silent for a while.

Liang Shicheng took a deep breath and anxiously waited for the conclusion. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he would understand that Wang Xiu is not Meng Lang, he is desperate!

Wang Xiu seemed to be talking to himself, saying: "Officials, it is said that when Layman Dongpo was appointed as a Hanlin scholar, he wrote lyrics that slandered the emperor of the previous dynasty. The officials think Layman Dongpo is innocent, but the official family's golden words are innocent. However, everything is a legacy of partisanship.”

"Su Zizhan loves the soldiers all over the world. He sees no one as a good person, and treats everyone with sincerity. It can be said that he can accompany the God of Haotian, and he can accompany the beggars of Beitian Courtyard."

Zhao Ji was silent, his eyes were very strange.

However, Liang Shicheng's eyes flickered, as if he saw the opportunity, not to let the sinners go, to maintain the dignity of the emperor, not to deny anyone, and to give people a chance.

"Officials, what is your crime?" He knelt down on the ground, his face full of grievances.

"Okay, my dear family, today you and my monarch and ministers recite poems against each other, don't be too dull." Zhao Ji smiled and changed the topic to one side.

Wang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief, he had already done what he had to do, it seemed that Zhao Ji did not blame him, and even somewhat agreed with his point of view.It's a pity that the emperor has no jokes, especially when it comes to the handling of the personnel of Xiqing Shihua. It has reached a critical point, and Zhao Ji can't stop.

However, he has fulfilled his promise to Liang Shicheng. At least let Liang Shicheng see hope and see his real efforts. The next step is to suppress Cai Xing. I believe that Liang Shicheng, who sees hope, will work hard to fulfill his wish.

Sometimes, it is more interesting to give someone a hope than to fulfill his wish. Completion means conclusion, and hope means better.

The reappearance of Wang Xiu surprised the concubines in the palace, who circulated the play and sang one after another, regarding it as a treasure.He was not breaking his promise, because most of Jibei was taken back by the imperial court, and Yanshan Mansion Road was also established, no one would make irresponsible remarks, but some people would slander him for flattering his master, saying that he was an imperial imperial servant in the palace.

On the fifth day, Zhang Qiyuan's face was very ugly, and even Zhao Huan was a little embarrassed. The imperial court punished the Xiqing poetry case, and Cai Tao was dismissed from office and sentenced to exile. Fortunately, Cai Jing let go of his old face again and begged Zhao Ji to pardon Cai This is why he saved his son, dismissed the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, served as a bachelor, and promoted Mingdao Palace instead.What's even more tragic is that under Cai You's instigation, he didn't even keep his Jinshi background. The civil servants of the Song Dynasty had the most important background. Without the qualifications of Jinshi, you are still a fart!

At that time, Zhao Ji, as the emperor, wanted to promote Gao Qiu, but he couldn't let Gao Qiu enter the rank of civil servants. Wang Fu and Li Bangyan were promoted repeatedly, even if there were criticisms, they did not attack, because they had Jinshi background, facing the entire civil servant class, Sometimes the emperor can't be willful, Cai Tao was not exiled but completely lost his official career.

It was bad luck for Han Zhuo, who was dismissed from office and exiled to Huangzhou without any accidents. The whole Han family is full of gloom!
"I'm sorry for the Qing family, I didn't save my servant." Zhao Huan sighed, recalling the meeting with Zhao Ji that day, but Wang Xiu stood aside.

Think about it, at that time Zhao Ji hesitated for a while, but Wang Xiu said resolutely: "It is a flagrant violation of His Majesty's holy will. The principal offender should be punished more seriously, and the accomplice should be punished more severely."

"Perhaps the main culprit is out of admiration for Su and Huang Zhugong. The accomplice is purely a fluke, and his heart is ten thousand times more hateful than the main culprit. If the main culprit is sentenced to exile for three thousand miles, the accomplice will be executed."

"Maybe the principal criminal really has intentions, but the accessory criminal doesn't know."

Zhao Heng felt so depressed that he almost fainted. What's worse, Zhao Ji agreed quite a bit. He couldn't help but have the urge to hit Wang Xiu, so he forcibly endured it.

Now thinking of the scene at that time, his eyes are still stern with hatred.

Seeing that Zhao Huan couldn't suppress his anger, Zhang Qiyuan's face turned even paler, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.Although Han Zhu did not escape the fate of being exiled, but being able to arouse the prince's jealousy towards Wang Xiu will definitely do him more good than harm.The Han family is very important, but losing the Han family is not enough to shake the deep-rooted Han family. He can still get the support of the Han family. I don't really mind.

Now, the crown prince values ​​him more and more. As long as he gets on the dragon boat of the crown prince, not to mention that all the branches of the Han family will rely on him, even he will have a lot of room to display in some political groups. What he values ​​most is the king. The show caused Zhao Huan's dissatisfaction.

Wang Xiu put more pressure on him than a few years ago. He didn't care about Wang Xiu's military exploits, but Wang Xiu's return to the court showed a strong connotation, which made him completely lose his composure.What's even more frightening is that the Crown Princess seems to be friendly to Wang Xiu. Under the guidance of the Crown Princess, Zhao Huan's attitude towards Wang Xiu changed greatly. , what can he do.

Today, Wang Xiu gave him a huge opportunity. Although it is impossible to be effective in the short term, and he may even suffer a direct loss, so what?A gentleman does not argue about the merits of a matter.For the sake of a mere woman, Wang Xiu wanted to bring down Cai Xing at the expense of offending Cai You, and offended the prince for maintaining the punishment of the accomplice. It was not worth it. .

"Your Highness, Wang Xiu is just holding favor and asking for credit, just trying to make a name for himself. I used to think that he is very smart, but today I look at it not because he is unwise, but because he is favored by the emperor. .”
