    Since resigning as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, Han Qi has returned to his hometown in Xiangzhou to take care of himself.  Although the tragic death of my nephew was a heavy blow, it was only labor pain after all.  After leaving the court, I don't have to work hard, but I am happy and free.  Although he is getting older, his body is very strong and better than before. ???????????????????? How can a minister who has been a prime minister and has all the power in the government and the public, completely say goodbye to the court and turn his back on what is going on outside the window?  During the ups and downs of the Song Dynasty in the past few years, Han Qi watched with cold eyes and his heart was like a mirror.  That¡¯s all. He is no longer interested in asking about the reform.  Who is Wang Anshi and what will be the reform? He knows in his heart that the outcome is doomed.  The only thing that surprised him was Zhao Zhao's identity. When the news came that King Qin recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, Han Qi sat up from the bed in shock.  Emperor Renzong¡¯s son is still alive?  No one else knew about the secret back then, but Han Qi knew the whole story.  He did not participate in Zhao Zongshi's small actions, and perhaps he was opposed to them in his heart, but in the end he turned a blind eye and passed by.  After all, he is a grasshopper on the same boat. He has helped Zhao Zongshi time and time again, and the two have been closely linked.  If Zhao Zongshi cannot take the position of crown prince, all his efforts will be in vain, and there will be no good end.  So he acquiesced, watching an act that was sorry for Emperor Renzong and remaining indifferent.  He had felt guilty about this, but as Zhao Zongshi ascended the throne and became emperor, he worked hard to help and gradually forgot about it.  But who would have thought that twenty-four years later, that prince would come back.  Zhao Zhao!  Han Qi never thought of it.  Zhao Zhao, who fought against him in Daming Mansion, turned out to be the prince.  They were originally enemies, but now they have the sworn hatred of their nephew Han Jun.  Han Qi knows better.  Zhao Zhao came prepared, and this King of Qin lived up to his name.  The northwest territory and the western army all fell into his hands.  There should be more than that. Zhao Zhao must have many unknown secret powers that will be announced or activated when necessary.  He already has the strength to challenge the official Zhao Xu, especially after the great victory in Lingzhou, King Qin's territory has expanded a lot, and his prestige has skyrocketed.  According to the current trend, it is inevitable to overshadow the official family.  It is highly possible when it will be replaced.  Zhao Zhao ascended the throne, maybe it will be a good thing for the Song Dynasty!  It is undeniable that the King of Qin was much better than today's officials. When he took charge of the country, he might be able to revive the Song Dynasty and change the current decline and bad governance.  But if King Qin takes the throne, what will happen to him and the Han family?  I am a person who has half of my body buried in the loess.  It doesn't matter if he is not guaranteed a good death, but he must take care of the descendants of the Han family and the related disciples and deceased officials.  In the past, I helped Zhao Zongshi so much, even disrespecting Renzong and disobeying Empress Dowager Cao.  Can King Qin let him go?  Especially those secret affairs back then were suspected of being treasonous and unethical. If King Qin ascended the throne, how could he not pursue the matter?  Zhao Zhao¡¯s ability and means are obvious to all, according to the current trend.  The official Zhao Xu was no match for him.  Maybe it won't be long before King Qin takes over Bianjing.  Han Qi felt a deep worry in his heart.  It's just that he retired and returned home, watching the situation worsen, but he was helpless.  Surprisingly, a few days later, the magistrate of Xiangzhou came to visit, and he was very respectful and even flattering to Han Qi.  Facing Shang Shuling's false titles to return to the hometown, the local official attitude is pretty polite, but the degree of respect is far worse than today. What happened?  Soon, the magistrate of Xiangzhou submitted two letters.  Han Qi opened it and was shocked when he saw the jade seal and the golden seal of the Queen Mother.  After a while, he instructed: "Ready, the old man is going to Jingjing!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  When we were in Bianjing, a big thing happened!  On the 20th of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Xining, the censors Shu Quan and He Zhengchen publicly impeached Su Shi, the magistrate of Fengxiang, for "fooling the court and being arrogant" in the court hall.  The evidence is a memorial written by Su Shi. When he returned to Bianjing from his post as magistrate of Hangzhou, Su Shi briefly had power over Huzhou.  There, Su Shi wrote an article "Huzhou Thank You", which included the following sentences: "Your Majesty knows that he is stupid and untimely, and it is difficult to accompany him; if he is old and does not cause trouble, he may be able to shepherd the small people."  It is a self-proclaimed name, and Xinjin refers to officials who actively participated in the reform.  The meaning of the first half of the sentence is that Your Majesty knows that I am stupid, out of date, and cannot compare with the officials who are actively reforming the law.  Your Majesty clearly understands that I am a quiet person who can pastor and guard the place and manage the common people.  Su Shi is talented and good at everything, but he has a fatal flaw, which is his big mouth.  Many times, I can't keep my temper, like to talk, and complain openly.  In the original time and space, the reason why his career was bleak was largely due to Big Mouth.    In "Huzhou Xie Shangbiao", Su Shi included such a few grumbling words.  It's somewhat of a satire on New Party officials. Su Zizhan, who is famous all over the world, is stupid. What about the so-called newcomers?  Saying that you are not causing trouble is the opposite of saying that Xinjin is causing trouble.  Su Shi¡¯s original intention was this, but He Zhengchen, the supervisory censor, claimed that his original intention was to fool the court and make him arrogant. A big hat was suddenly placed on Su Shi¡¯s head.  The ministers in the court couldn't help but feel strange, wasn't it just a few complaints?  As for going online like this?  What's more, Su Shi's original intention was not like this. It is a bit far-fetched to talk about fooling the court.  They didn't expect that this was just the beginning. Yushi Shudan added: "Su Shi harbors evil intentions, looks up to him with resentment, slanders and abuses, and has no moral integrity. There is no one like Shi. Your Majesty will give you money (Qingmiao)  Qian) is a poor person in his profession, so he says, "If you win children with good pronunciation, you will be strong in the city for half a year."; Your Majesty knows the law and tests the county officials with lessons, then he says, "Reading thousands of books but not reading the laws will lead to Jun Yao and Shun knowing no skills."  When His Majesty promotes water conservancy, he says, "If the East China Sea has a clear idea, it should be taught to turn the salt-alkali land into mulberry fields." When His Majesty wants to ban salt, he says, "How can you forget the taste after hearing the Shao? You will eat no salt for three months."; For other things,  "Things are matters, and everything that is spoken is mainly ridiculed." "Winning children with good pronunciation, and being strong in the city for a year and a half" comes from "Five Wonders of Mountain Village" written by Su Shi, which deliberately satirizes Qingmiao Fa; "If the East China Sea is like this."  "If you know your purpose, you should be taught to criticize salt water and turn it into mulberry fields" comes from "Watching the Tide on August 15th", which was written by Su Shi in Hangzhou. Shu Quan believed that Su Shi was satirizing the Salt Law.  It is a trivial matter to sarcastically accuse the new law. The point is that Shu Yu and He Zhengchen elevated it to the level of fooling the court and resenting the king.  In feudal society, this was a serious crime.  The ministers in the court were agitated. Since Wang Anshi started to carry out reforms, who has not ridiculed and complained?  There are many words in poetry and essays, but now they are taken out of context and put on the line. Isn't this a literary inquisition?  Now that Su Shi has been taken out first, who will be there soon?  Don¡¯t they all have to discuss sins?  For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.  However, there are also people who understand and see the unusual meaning!  Why only operate on Su Shi?  Judging from the example of the public impeachment in the Yushitai court, it can be said that he was well prepared, and it was obviously to put Su Shi to death!  Is it because Su Shi is too famous, or has Su Shi offended them?  ?Obviously not!  Although Su Shi was a world-famous talent, his status in the court was limited.  There is no direct conflict of interest between a magistrate and Yushitai. If it was because Su Shi wrote a poem to satirize them, he wouldn't use such cruel means to retaliate, right?  Moreover, these poems and essays are all old works, and when mentioned now, it seems more like they were deliberately collected and compiled.     Why do you do that?  People with a little insight quickly discovered the context. Su Shi's background and talent did not matter what he had done before.  The important thing is his current status. He is now the magistrate of Fengxiang, which is in the northwest and is under the rule of King Qin.  And Su Shi had a close relationship with the King of Qin. They were officials in Hangzhou together.  The King of Qin seemed to have recommended Su Shi's younger brother Su Shi as an envoy to Korea, and was later transferred to Jingyuan Road as a transshipment envoy, also in the northwest.  There is no doubt that the Su brothers are all working under King Qin and are his people.  And recently there is news that Su Shi¡¯s sister-in-law Wang Chaoyun married the King of Qin, first as a concubine, and now she has been promoted to a side concubine.  In this way, Su Shi and King Qin are brothers-in-law!  So, how could the sudden impeachment of Su Shi mean anything simple?  Obviously, the drunkard's intention was not to drink. On the surface, he was targeting Su Shi, but behind the scenes, he was actually targeting the King of Qin.  Can this still be a trivial matter?  Many people know this.  I'm afraid that He Zhengchen and Shu Yu are just pawns. There must be someone behind this planning, aiming at the King of Qin!  As for the man behind the scenes, Heng Heng, many people¡¯s eyes have fallen on the official Zhao Xu, waiting for the official¡¯s attitude.  "Is that really the case?" Official Zhao Xu just asked lightly.  "Yes, Su Shi is indeed disobedient and disrespectful!" Li Yizhi, a doctor of the Imperial Academy, claimed that Su Shi had committed a heinous crime and was rude to the court and officials. He should be questioned and beheaded.  Such a proposal directly violated the Song Dynasty's tradition of not killing scholar-bureaucrats, and there was an uproar.  Li Ding, the imperial censor, Zhongcheng, agreed, and gave four reasons why Su Shi must be sentenced to death: "First, Su Shi had no academic knowledge at the beginning, so he gained a great reputation by accident, and accidentally studied in different subjects, so he went to the Confucian School; second, Su Shi  Eager to obtain a high position and dissatisfied in his heart, he ridiculed the powerful; thirdly, His Majesty had been tolerant of him for a long time and hoped that he would change his ways, but Su Shi still did so and refused to obey; fourthly, although Su Shi wrote poems  It's ridiculous and shallow, and it has a great impact on the entire Song Dynasty." Finally, he said loudly: "Chen Dao.Preliminary law enforcement, duty is to picket, the crime is not tolerated, how dare you stop it?  Your Majesty, Fuwang, has cut off his will from heaven and implemented the constitution in a special way. This is not only to suppress his stubbornness, but also to uphold his loyalty and good heart. His likes and dislikes are clear, and his customs are reformed.  " Zhao Xu, the official on the throne, had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "I will go to the Yushitai to investigate immediately. Su Shi dismissed Fengxiang Zhizhou and immediately escorted him to Bianjing for interrogation!  "The "Wutai Poetry Case", which will go down in history, is freshly released!
