Three years, maybe three years later, if Fu Bi behaves well, he can come back. If he behaves badly, any impeachment memorial from a courtier will prevent him from ever returning to Bianliang City.
Fu Bi also had a stubborn temper. After receiving the imperial order, he did not seek mercy from anyone. He even refused his father-in-law's offer of help. The family left Bianliang City only three days later.
This has to be said about the power of historical inertia. Because Su Shi and Fu Bi were not implicated by Fan Zhongyan, they were demoted.
Still because of Su Shi, Fu Bi was demoted from the capital, which may have been his fate.
Zhao Zhen demoted Fu Bi out of Bianliang City, intending to use this move to tell others that whoever dared to speak for Su Shi would end up like this.
This time, Zhao Zhen was also determined to take care of Su Shi. He would not stop until he subdued this person.
But will Su Shi really accept it?
...
A.D. 1049, September of the ninth year of Qingli.
Zhao Yun let Sheng Sheng return to the court.
The army of the Later Zhou Dynasty, which had been sending troops for more than a year, surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and a major hidden danger was eliminated.
Renzong Zhao Zhen was very happy.
This year, the Song Dynasty had good weather and a bumper harvest of grain.
This year, there was no foreign war. Even Xixia seemed to have become much more honest after experiencing the defeat last year.
In this year, the attitude between the Liao and Song Dynasties also became extremely ambiguous, which can be seen from the fact that they were able to send back Lu Siqiao, a descendant of the Chai family.
Of course, other things happened this year.
For example, the eldest princess ran away from the palace.
For example, the new noble Lord Bukit Marquis was placed under house arrest.
Of course, these are all side details and will not be taken seriously by more people. Even the history books will not even have the slightest record of these things.
When Zhao Yun returned victoriously to the court, Zhao Zhen praised him unstintingly in front of the civil and military officials of the court. He was directly promoted to one rank, with the subtitles removed, and became a formal privy envoy.
Official residence starts from the first grade.
While Zhao Yunrang was in high spirits, he immediately suggested to Zhao Zhen that Lu Siqiao, a descendant of the Chai family sent by the Liao Kingdom, and Feng Chunxue, one of the bandit leaders of the Later Zhou Army, should immediately announce the execution to the world and calm people's hearts. At the same time, he suggested that the officials responsible for the execution should be
Bukit Hou Su Shi is in charge.
Zhao Yunrang actually recommended Su Shi as the supervisor and beheading officer, which was very surprising.
In the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty, who doesn't know that the two of them dislike each other and have been hostile to each other for a long time?
But what the court officials did not expect was that Zhao Zhen actually agreed with a smile and set the date for three days later.
Things were so weird that many ministers couldn't help but wonder. Is it really hard to imagine? In fact, everything was the result of Empress Cao's intervention.
When Su Shi was under house arrest for more than five months, Empress Cao felt that the time had come and invited Zhao Zhen to have a meal in her Yanfu Palace.
During the meal, Queen Cao took the initiative to bring up the matter of Su Shi, and said that she could give him a step down on the grounds that she was willing to share the worries of the official family. ap.
Zhao Zhen had no intention of killing Su Shi. He just wanted to surrender this person.
Unexpectedly, things would turn out to be like this, and Su Shi would be so stubborn, making it difficult for him to get off.
At this moment, Empress Cao was willing to come out as a co-worker, and Zhao Zhen also thought it was a good idea.
As the emperor, it was impossible for him to bow to his ministers. He was afraid of sending someone else over, but he was afraid that the weight would not be enough. But at this time, the queen, as a woman, did not appear so solemn, and her status could be used to show that she was serious about it.
Zhao Zhen was very satisfied, but he didn't know that Queen Cao would make this suggestion because she wanted to use Su Shi for herself.
Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement, and the maid Fan Ying left the palace and followed Yi's order to Tianyou Hutong, which had been closed for a long time.
Su Shi, who was busy writing the law in the mansion, learned that Maid Fan had arrived. He was stunned at first, and then a calm smile appeared on his face.
He had been prepared for the worst before, but now Fan Ying's arrival made him see a better opportunity.
"please."
Outside Tianyou Hutong, there are still many scholars staying here.
These scholars came in shifts to ensure that their people were guarding outside the alley at all times, in order to force Su Shi to bow his head.
For this purpose, they have persisted for more than five months. Even if someone else came, they would not let him go at this level. But the maids around the queen came, and these scholars could not stop them.
Especially when he learned that the maid came on the Queen's orders, he did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Scholars in the Song Dynasty still had a reverence for the imperial power (at least in the early days).
Fan Ying came to the gate of Su Mansion in Tianyou Hutong without any obstruction, and the gate that had been closed for more than five months was opened from the inside.
What the two talked about is unknown to outsiders. What everyone can see is that after Fan Ying left, Tianyou Hutong was closed again, and it seemed to be no different from before.
When Fan Ying returned to the palace, she was overjoyed. Su Shi agreed to Empress Cao's offer and was willing to take refuge. Now she just waits to create a chance for her to come out again.
Empress Cao thought it was not surprising that Su Shi would seek refuge with her.
Previously, Su Shijian was in the emperor's heart and had a very good relationship with King Jing. Naturally, he would not take himself as the queen in his eyes.
But now, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xi's father and son are very tired of Su Shi's rebellion. They all want to take this opportunity to deal with Su Shi completely. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to suppress Su Shi in the future.
When there was no one to help, Empress Cao was willing to lend a helping hand, so it seemed very reasonable that he would bow his head.
I have already offended the emperor and the prince by resisting the decree, could it be possible that I have offended the queen as well?
If this is the case, the world is so vast that there really is no place for Su Shi. Unless he no longer wants to hang out in the Song Dynasty.
Queen Cao was very happy that Fan Ying had fulfilled her mission and returned, and then she thought about how to get Su Shi back out of trouble.
It is not difficult to get out of the mountain again, that is, you have to do things, and big things. News has long come from the Liao Kingdom, saying that Lu Siqiao, the bandit leader of the Later Zhou Dynasty, turned out to be the woman Su Shi liked.
This was also confirmed by Gao Taotao. Even in Bianliang City, the common people knew about this matter.
Empress Cao learned this and made up her mind. Letting Su Shi be the supervisor would not only allow Su Shi to do things, but also clear his innocence of having secretly communicated with the bandit leader. No matter how you look at it, it is a very suitable thing.
Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xi also learned that Su Shi had known Lu Siqiao for a long time. For this reason, they also had a grudge. This Su Shi knew who Lu Siqiao was and what his identity was, but he still helped him like this. He wanted to
What do you want to do?
Is it possible that he really wants to overthrow Zhao Song?
If this is the case, Su Shi can no longer be used.
Zhao Xi, in particular, was extremely dissatisfied with this.
Over the years, Su Shi has been good to Zhao Xi, and he thinks that he is also good to Su Shi. He has unconditional support under any conditions. Even if martial arts master Wang Miao once said bad things about Su Shi, he did not listen to them all.
He believed that Su Shi did not take Wang Miao or Long Wuwei away because of his considerations. On this point, Lei Meng who returned later indirectly proved this statement.
But a few months ago, Su Shi blatantly disobeyed the imperial edict, which made Zhao Xi very dissatisfied.
Su Shi didn't look down on his father's status. If his younger self became the emperor, would he still be obedient?
For this reason, the Su Mansion was sealed, and Zhao Xi had no intention of standing up and speaking out. He also believed what his father and everyone said, and wanted to give Su Shi a good beating before he could be used as a minister.
But now, there is news proving that Su Shi actually has contact with people from the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the contact is still very close, which makes Zhao Xi really unbearable.
Zhao Xi, as the heir to the throne, naturally knows where Zhao Song's world came from.
It can be said that the next week is Zhao Song's nightmare. If his descendants are found, they must be killed to avoid future troubles. Su Shi can definitely understand this truth, but for him
Why didn't he tell the truth and even fell in love with the other person? Could it be that...
Zhao Xi had to guess, could it be that Su Shi was really rebellious and wanted to use the banner of Zhou to overthrow Zhao Song?
The so-called Su Shi's love for women after the Zhou Dynasty is just a way of saying that it is to prepare him to raise a banner?
Zhao Xi is not very old, but one thing is the same as his father Zhao Zhen, that is, he attaches great importance to imperial power.
The imperial power is greater than the sky. For the stability of the imperial power, anyone can be sacrificed. This naturally includes Su Shi.
Over and over again, Su Shi's various performances have made Zhao Xi extremely dissatisfied with him. This time, regarding Lu Siqiao's matter, not only would he not stand up to intercede for Su Shi, on the contrary, he would also
I won't trust Su Shi that much anymore.
Maybe one day, he will borrow Su Shi's ability, but he will also be careful while using it. This is Zhao Xi's new attitude towards Su Shi.
In this way, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xi's father and son openly reached an agreement on Su Shi's matter.
Be careful even when using it.
Before using it, he had to make it appear in front of others. Now that he had a chance to prove his innocence, Zhao Zhen agreed to this move.
In this era, let’s not say that women are like clothes, but they really have no status in future generations and will not occupy an important position in men’s hearts.
Su Shi is a Bujihou, less than twenty years old, and has a bright future.
He is rich, so what kind of woman can't get it? How could he do stupid things and take dangerous actions because of a woman?
Even if Su Shi had some ideas before, now that Lu Siqiao has been arrested, he has to give up this unrealistic idea. This is the consensus of everyone.
It's just that there are exceptions. Just in case, although Zhao Zhen agreed to Su Shi's appointment as the supervisor, he did not forget to tell Zhao Yunrang to make arrangements so that nothing unexpected happened.
What surprise could there be?
Is it possible that Su Shi will rebel because of a woman?
If this is the case, I'm afraid Zhao Yunrang will only be even happier.
This time, Queen Cao wanted to give Su Shi a chance to make a comeback, and said that everyone was her own now. But no matter how she looked at it, Zhao Yunrang felt uncomfortable, and she didn't think that Su Shi would bow his head like this.
In his opinion, Su Shi would seek refuge with Empress Cao, but it was just a temporary measure.
