Chapter 177 23 Things About Su Shi
Colleagues around him congratulated him one after another. After all, this would at least be passed down through the ages, which was much better than them being nameless and not even mentioned.
Wang Anshi was speechless for a moment when he saw his name appear on the sky.
The main reason is that this person is a bit too capricious, but Tianmu didn't say anything bad about him. Alas, the Song Dynasty needs to reform to change the current situation.
Most of the court was divided into two factions. I don’t know whether future generations will mention them. They also don’t want to repeat the shame of Jingkang in the future. It was too humiliating!
[The relationship lines of some celebrities are very few, such as Prime Minister Cao and Tao Qian, while those of some poets are as complicated as a big firework, such as Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang and Zeng Gong.
I thought Li Bai was the pinnacle, but you never expected there was a Su Shi.
The social graph of Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Du Fu is like a big dandelion. They are worthy of being the three great e-men of the Tang Dynasty. However, Su Shi is the top e1 man. In this respect, no one can compare to him.
Now he knew why Huaimin had not slept yet, so Su Shi went to find Zhang Huaimin in the middle of the night and whispered in his ear:
My brother Su Che is the prime minister, and my good friends include…balabalabalabala…
I may not be able to finish naming them all before dawn.
Moreover, it is well known that Su Shi was either demoted or on the way to exile throughout his life. Even in ancient times when transportation was slow, his footprints could be seen in more than 90 cities across the country!
You can make friends wherever you are demoted.
Shang Yang:? Huh? Why is my picture the only one that looks like this? 】
Obviously, it was a good thing that would be passed down through the ages, but people were not happy about it.
Du Fu just felt that with so many poets and lyricists throughout history, it was worth his life to be remembered by later generations. As for the miserable old age, he just forgot about it, not to mention that he was in the same frame with Brother Bai!
Zhang Huaimin: ...
Although that was partly the reason, he himself did not expect that his appearance would be like this.
Su Shi, who was filled with flowers and praise, was very happy. It turned out that making more friends was the right thing to do.
[As a true Su Po idol in the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone from the common people to the Queen Mother are his loyal fans.
He has a wide range of interests and is proficient in food, travel, painting, calligraphy, composing lyrics and poetry. He is an all-round talent and is also enthusiastic about public welfare. He is worthy of being called a polygon warrior.
His ability to sell products was also first-rate. The modified Zizhan hat, also called the Dongpo hat, became a must-have fashion item at the time.
Even if you are either demoted or on the way to being demoted throughout your life, you must eat wherever you are demoted.
He invented a series of Dongpo cuisine, and 66 dishes in the history of Chinese cuisine were created because of him.
He was able to turn danger into safety every time he was demoted. In addition to relying on his brother's hard work to get him promoted, it was also because the court loved talents and even his opponent Wang Anshi petitioned to protect him.
No wonder Su Shi said, "In my eyes, there is no one in the world who is not a good person."
In response to this, people around him sighed, saying that the food invented by this guy was indeed delicious. Seeing that later generations praised him so much, he was the first person besides the emperor to do so!
Su Zhe was also very proud. His brother was a great writer, and everyone in the world praised him highly. Now, he didn't even need to promote him, as his brother's name would be known throughout the world.
Colleagues who have been boasted about by Su Che many times: ...
Yes, yes, you are great to have a brother!
Su Shi accepted the fact that he was constantly demoted, but he felt a little sorry for his younger brother.
He said to the people around him in a very annoying way: "Hey~ If it weren't for my brother who is holding him back, Ziyou might have been appointed prime minister long ago. It's all my fault as a brother~"
The tone was very Versailles, yet full of pride in his brother.
Everyone kept smiling, but they clenched their fists again and again. No, the Song Dynasty loved talents, and there was also a brother who would become the future prime minister.
Su Shi never thought that Wang Anshi would plead for him and protect him.
He was also opposed to Wang Anshi's reforms. After all, he believed that the reforms were too radical and would increase the burden on the people, which forced him to stand against a group of people in the court.
But it seems that the story of being demoted has been passed down to later generations, and I think I was too miserable to be squeezed out.
Su Shi: Cryingjpg.
But he also sympathized with and admired this opponent very much. Even though they had different political views, his talent was unquestionable.
Tianmu said before that because of the ancestral precepts set by Taizu, the status of military generals in the Song Dynasty was low, and the Song Dynasty’s request for peace was jokingly called "cowardly." Thinking of the emperor in his current position, he can be regarded as an iron-blooded one, at least much better than the later Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.
Zhao Kuangyin now felt shy, like a child who had always been ignored but was suddenly praised, and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
Although he is not the one he is with now, he is also a talent of his Song Dynasty.
Being demoted shows that this person is upright and incorruptible. He is a thousand times better than that Sima guy. No, such a talent cannot be buried.
Just cut to the chase and make a big call, asking the Northern Song Emperor to employ people well and not let the treacherous villains’ slander cloud his mind.
Thinking of Zhao Guangyi in his own era, although he has no chance to become emperor now, he is still placed under house arrest.
[Because Su Shi showed an attitude of defying everything in the officialdom, officials disliked him very much.
He himself was demoted many times, but he never expected that through his life of being demoted, Su Dongpo became a generation of food god! 】
Su Shi himself: I just have a little hobby~
He just likes to eat some delicious food. After all, the barbecues at night markets in later generations are really tempting.
Unfortunately, they cannot kill farm animals and livestock at will, so they can only eat wherever they are demoted.
[Su Shi was once thrown into jail as expected because he wrote poems opposing the political reform.
In prison, Su Dongpo was worried all day long, so he found his son Su Mai who brought him food every day and told him:
"If I'm fine, I'll send meat when I deliver food; if I'm in trouble and about to be killed, I'll send fish."
But as luck would have it, Su Mai had something to do and asked someone to deliver food, and that person directly delivered the smoked fish.
When Su Dongpo saw it, his eyes widened like bells.
Afterwards, Su Dongpo ate the fish with tears in his eyes and wrote two suicide poems to his brother.
Unexpectedly, these two poems moved Song Shenzong, so he spared his life and Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, Hubei.
Song Shenzong: He still has a chance to appear~
Many people in the court felt that the demotion could not be blamed on either party. Who could be so stubborn as to openly resist and write poems to express their feelings? Isn't this just touching a tiger's butt?
Moreover, this kind of demotion happened more than once. Judging from the itinerary of Tianmu's carriage and horses, he was not discouraged and was still interested in studying food. He was really optimistic.
[When Su Dongpo arrived in Huangzhou, he found that the city was very poor, so he set his eyes on the cheap and good quality pork.
Then, Su Dongpo made the delicious Dongpo pork and wrote the production process into his own cookbook, which has been passed down to this day.
There are many such things. Every time Su Dongpo was exiled to a place, he would taste the local food.
I even had hemorrhoids once because I ate too many lychees and got a sore throat.
He also wrote a poem to tell his younger brother Su Zhe: "Brother, I have hemorrhoids~"]
