Chapter 448 Su Dongpo (Lu Yi Version) 13
In 1081, after the mourning period for Su Shi and Su Zhe was over, they received an imperial edict from Emperor Shenzong and went to Bianjing. When they arrived in Bianjing, it was almost the end of the year.
After entering the court, Su Shi served as Vice-Minister of State Affairs and Su Zhe served as Right Censor.
In 1082, after passing the imperial examination, Mailer was sent to serve as an official in a remote area with his wife and children.
Xixia had recently been harassing the border. At the suggestion of Su Shi, Zhang Dun and others, Xu Xi was not appointed as the commander-in-chief of the northwest.
Although there was no victory in this battle, there was no defeat either. Both the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia suffered losses and temporarily stabilized.
Afterwards, Shenzong adopted Su Shi's suggestion to select good generals, train troops, and continue trade with Western Xia.
In 1085, Dai Er passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, and was engaged to Ouyang Xiu's granddaughter.
During this year, Emperor Shenzong remained in good health. Although the Western Xia occasionally harassed the border, the Song Dynasty did not abandon the six cities.
When Shen Zong just started to feel unwell, Chang Ran secretly gave him a body-repairing pill.
Considering the power struggle in the drama, it would be better for the Song Dynasty if Shenzong lived. At least he had to wait until Zhezong grew up and could rule the country before he passed away.
During his years in the court, Su Shi made many like-minded friends, including Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi and Zhang Lei, who were also known as the Four Scholars of Su's School.
But it also saw the departure of Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Fan Zhen and other people of the older generation.
In 1089, Su Shi requested to be transferred to other places and served as the prefect of Hangzhou and the commander-in-chief of the military in western Zhejiang.
Chang Ran, Lian Er, and Chao Gu will leave with them. Sister Su will stay and live with Dai Er. Su Zhe is now working in the Hanlin Academy, so he will also have someone to take care of him.
Changran taught both sons martial arts. When he parted with them, he gave them gold, silver bills, a house and farm in Bianjing, and jade pendants that could be exchanged for silver. He also placed a small puppet beside them to take care of them secretly.
In the following period, Su Shi was mostly sent away, but there were no major setbacks.
If there are cases like the Wudai Poetry Case where the punishment is severe, Chang Ran will solve them in advance.
If Chang Ran had not been afraid of implicating Su Zhe and his sons, Su Shi would not have cared if he had been demoted again and again. For the sake of his family, he still had to watch over him and not go too far.
In 1102, Shenzong died and Zhezong succeeded him.
Changran also gave Zhezong a pill to restore his health, so that he did not die early. But he also gave him a pill to purify his heart.
Although Zhezong was not good to Su Shi, he was still a good person for the Song Dynasty.
After Zhezong ascended the throne, he did not abolish the policies since the Xining Reform, and the transition of the court was relatively smooth.
This drama is really depressing. There don't seem to be many good people in it. From the emperor, to officials, to ordinary people. One after another, it really makes people feel a little desperate.
If they really continue to act as they did in the past, there might be only a few people left in the court, not even the emperor.
In 1108, Su Shi passed away. A month later, Chang Ran also passed away. His sons were only required to observe mourning for three years.
Sister Su and Xiaolian passed away a few years ago. Su Zhe and his wife are still alive.
In this life, Su Shi did not encounter any major setbacks. When he was in the local area, he always worked hard for the people.
Su Che was not implicated and became prime minister. However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was not taken seriously. It was another power struggle.
Looking at the current situation of the Song Dynasty, the Jingkang Shame should not happen again. It just seems that they still cannot defeat Mongolia. However, after I leave, I can't do anything about it.
