Chapter 191 Songs of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties
[...Using the reed pole from childhood, I went to the court to compare lengths. I laughed at the censors for being cowardly and only knowing how to dodge...Many unfounded things were mentioned several times...That day when he woke up from the wine and faced the wind again, he said he was a drunkard. I have been an official for forty years, and I have seen twenty years of sadness. And this mountain of literature has sent a generation to the clouds...The eternal list sighs at people getting old...]
＜Those who steal their nephews or daughters-in-law due to scandals will encounter many setbacks in their careers＞
＜The Eternal Dragon and Tiger List! —— Song Dynasty All-Stars＞
＜Six of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties were from the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song＞
＜Served as an official for 40 years, demoted for 20 years. But still loves life, loves everything, is good at everything, learns from Mr. Ou [circle]＞
＜What a coincidence you all have come! ＞
[Su Shi in the third year of Song Xining: Those are all slanders from political enemies! Rumors!]
[Wang Anshi in the third year of Song Xining: He used his public opinion to judge right and wrong. But his courage and integrity did not diminish even in his old age.]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Did the six emperors of Renzong's reign also act like the two emperors of Tang Dynasty, who had bad careers and resorted to writing articles?]
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Renzong had such great talents but they were not used. The Song Dynasty was really...]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Blind coward! ]
Zhao Kuangyin initially thought that it was a great thing that six of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song were from the Song Dynasty! With such a flourishing literary style, there must be many great talents.
Then I thought of the fact that literary spirit is strong while military spirit is weak, and that “good men don’t want to be soldiers”.
Emperor Wu of Han's words poured cold water on Zhao Kuangyin. How were the articles written by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan? Excellent. How were their official careers? They were bumpy.
"I really want to scold these young people to wake them up!" Zhao Kuangyin's face was as gloomy as he stared at the comments on the screen.
Zhao Guangmei praised the comment of the first Qin Shi Huang in her heart. Well said! Except for my second brother, the rest of the Song Dynasty were cowards like my third brother.
...
Zhao Zhen was somewhat depressed by the comments of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han on the screen. He wanted to refute but Emperor Taizu had already made a conclusion, so Zhao Zhen had to grit his teeth and bear it.
"What scandal has happened to you, my dear minister?" Zhao Zhen was very curious about what the false accusation on the screen was.
Ouyang Xiu's eyebrows frowned as he followed the words on the screen. "Stealing nephews, stealing daughters-in-law". Did these remarks mean that Ouyang Xiu was a beast?
"I don't know. I will never do such a despicable thing!" Ouyang Xiu secretly hated those political enemies who threw dirty water on him. Although the Song court seemed calm now, he knew that discord would break out sooner or later.
Now it is only because there are strong enemies outside and disasters inside that everyone’s goals are temporarily the same.
Zhao Zhen didn't want to be called a coward again. Since the light curtain exposed the future of the Song Dynasty, he has always taken it as his responsibility to change the fate of the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu is talented and outspoken, and he is deeply loved by him. Of course, he wants to help Ouyang Xiu avoid risks and clear obstacles for future reforms.

[Since Su Xun had his eldest son, he should be ashamed of him. He started to really pick up the pen and paper at the age of 27. The two talented people in the family, the handlebars still have the marks... Ambitious to enter the capital, the pearls revealed under the vast ocean... On the day of the twins' nomination, he had already given up the ambition of the imperial examination... And the light of the book of authority is enough to be passed down through the ages...]
＜Su Laoquan, at the age of twenty-seven, began to study hard＞
＜The two talented people are named Su Che Handle and Su Che Wheel Seal [Dog Head]＞
＜The three Su brothers are really awesome, three poets from one family, eight great writers in history!＞
[Ouyang Xiu, the third year of Song Xining: His theories are profound in physics and good at understanding expediency. His articles are not empty words but are useful.]
[Su Xun, the second year of Song Baoyuan: Well, Su Laoquan remained a young man until his death!]
[Song Xining Year 3 Su Shi: Dad [crying]]
[Song Xining Year 3 Su Che: Dad [crying]]
During the Xining period, the brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe had lost their father four years ago. They saw the younger version of their old father making comments on the screen. No matter how excited they were and what they wanted to say, they just called him "Dad" in the end.
Su Xun had only started studying hard in the second year of Emperor Renzong's Baoyuan reign, but only four or five years later, Su Shi and Su Zhe were already born. At first, he wondered if Su Shi, who was often mentioned by Guangmu, was his eldest son. Later, the more Guangmu talked about the Song Dynasty, the more Su Shi's name appeared. He couldn't help but sigh that both his eldest son and his youngest son were promising, so he had to work harder!
So after Su Zhe was born, Su Xun left Wu Gorge in Kuizhou and went downstream to Jingzhou, where he traveled to various places, made friends with knowledgeable teachers and friends, and increased his knowledge and life experience.
"I should give the imperial examination a try!"
...
[Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, why not sing and walk slowly... Since Dongpo saw through everything at a glance, it's nothing like a bowl of good meat... But how many rounds can a minister who speaks out can live... He only gets praise from the people of the world. But the court doesn't look at his achievements, but only focuses on his words... He said to Ziyou in the letter that he didn't drink much that day, and the small hill in the east of the city will be called Dongpo from today! ]
＜Ahhh it’s Zizhan!!! Mr. Dongpo!!!＞
＜Who is afraid? A raincoat will protect you for the rest of your life! ＞
＜Wang Anshi opposed the reform and was demoted. The conservatives came to power and opposed it, and were demoted again...＞
＜The "Wutai Poetry Case" is really speechless. He was framed and imprisoned for writing poems.＞
＜Mizhou drought, Xuzhou flood...Su Shi was banished to a distant place, and he was devoted to being a good official and doing good things for the people. Therefore, the people even built a shrine for him.＞
＜Su Che: What is Dongpo's crime? It's just that his reputation is too high! ＞
＜Su Shi: I will be your brother for generations, and we will have unfinished business in this world.＞
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: These two brothers have such a good relationship, it's enviable!]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Serving the people is a good thing, but the Song Dynasty did not know how to cherish it.]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: I have listened to the advice and am making changes.]
Su Che laughed and pointed at the small words on the screen: [Su Shi, an optimistic, cheerful, and greedy person], "What the screen said is true. Brother's reputation for greed is not only known to this dynasty, hahahaha."
"Although I don't understand what 'the only true God' on the light curtain means, it's better to be humble. I feel a little embarrassed by the light curtain's praise." Su Shi held his forehead with his hand. Oh, everyone in the world knows that I, Su Shi, have a good appetite. Why does the light curtain talk about everything?
Su Shi was touched by his brother's help in the future. "It's great to be a brother with Ziyou..." He turned his eyes away from the light curtain and looked at his brother affectionately.
Su Zhe sighed, "My elder brother is better. Judging from the comments on the screen, my elder brother is very popular in the future. This makes me really envious."
Zhao Xu in the palace knocked on the table with his hand. Su Shi's official career was so bumpy, but even after being demoted, he could still be optimistic and wholeheartedly serve the people. It was really rare.
Seeing Taizu's speech on the screen, Zhao Xu hoped that this reform could save the Song Dynasty and that the Jingkang shame and the southward migration disaster would never happen.
