Chapter 304: The Enmity Between Cai Jing and Gao Qiu and Su Shi

"Master is wise and kind! How can disciples not follow the truth? Follow the Master's instructions!"

Jiang Chen smiled knowingly at Song Huizong.

But Cao Kuo and Song Yunheng couldn't laugh.

Cai Jing was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

He worked hard to make arrangements and carefully calculated, but he didn't want to get such a result.

At the same time, he also felt a burst of uneasiness and headaches because of Gao Qiu's return!

Speaking of which, his hatred with Gao Qiu is much deeper than that of Jiang Chen!

When Shenzong was in power and reform, Cai Jing entered the new party camp for speculation. Both his younger brother Cai Bian were very active, so he was criticized by Su Shi, who could not see him.

Therefore, although the two were listed as one of the four great masters of "Mi, Cai, Su, and Huang", they were in the same power, which made Su Shi's book boy Gao Qiu extremely hostile to Cai Jing.

Later, when Emperor Shenzong died, Empress Dowager Gao took office, and he overturned the new law and reused the Yuanyou Party members.

Cai Jing transformed into a conservative again and gave a charming look at Su Shi: Lao Su, now we are our own people, so don’t write poems and essays in the future, and my reputation will be slandered by you!

‘I don’t! I don’t!

I just want to swear you! Why?

Brother, I'm neutral!’

When everyone was rushing to fall into the arms of Yuanyou Party, Su Shi believed that all the overthrow of the new laws was not good for the country and the people, and should be properly retained. So he criticized Cai Jing again and called him a speculative villain.

‘I’ll go to your uncle!

Which head of this Su troll?’

Cai Jing was directly criticized for being depressed and tried to kill Su Shi, the leader of the literary world who had a huge influence at that time, but unfortunately, Su Shi was honest and had no place to cast spells even when framed.

During the two duels between life and death, Empress Dowager Gao died in the eighth year of Yuanyou, and the sixteen-year-old Song Zhezong began to rule.

This precocious young emperor hated the people who overthrew his Shenzong's reform. Once he was in power, he was ready to retaliate against the Yuanyou Party members and restore the new law in full.

First, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and other new party leaders took charge of the government, and then they began to set targets. At the beginning of the first year of Shaosheng, a question was raised to test the court officials: Should Sima Guang's enforced service law be changed back to the employment law?

(The Employment Law is only for temptation. If the Employment Law is restored, the Qingmiao Law and other laws will naturally be restored!)

When Cai Jing heard this, he immediately understood Zhezong's intention, so he became a reformist school again and took the lead in answering: What should I do if I take Xining and implement the Yuanfeng Law?

(Cai Jing means that it is a policy you have used. Whoever dares to object is to oppose the previous emperor. There is no need to negotiate the court at all, just start the rectification!)

Zhezong and the Grand Prince Zhang Chun were overjoyed when they heard this. They were extremely satisfied with his support and statements. They directly promoted Cai Jing to the Minister of Revenue and ordered him to preside over the Qingmiao Law.

This made Cai Jing very happy, and countless people who watched the wind followed suit!

But Cai Jing's good mood did not last for a day. Su Shi scolded him half to death with an article, saying bluntly that he was a villain with no moral integrity and was not a real reformist faction at all.

In Su Shi's eyes, the essence of the Qingmiao Law is that the court imposes usury on the people!

In order to give more loans, local officials will definitely use various means to force the people to borrow money, which will make the people sell their children and daughters miserable and it is simply undesirable.

So he firmly objected!

As his confidant letter boy, Gao Qiu also abused Cai Jing as a treacherous villain with his disciples.

Cai Jing was furious this time!

At the same time, the speculative reformists who were scolded by Su Shi and were also angry: Su Shi, who are from? Whoever takes power will criticize you, is your special damn iron-headed baby?

As a result, the emerging reformists launched crazy suppression and revenge on Su Shi's so-called neutral faction and the Yuanyou Party members.

As a result, under the protection of the Empress Dowager Xiang, Su Shi was not only unscathed, but also went to Hangzhou to become the prefect and took the courtesans in Hangzhou to travel around.

Before leaving Beijing, he arranged a good place for Gao Qiu and recommended it to Emperor Shenzong's brother-in-law Wang Shun, which made Gao Qiu take it over because of the ability of Cuju to be the Duan King Song Huizong, and became a confidant. From then on, he reached the peak of his life.

However, the Yuanyou Party members were in trouble. They were demoted here today and there tomorrow. Many people were tortured to death on the road to being demoted.

Looking at the happy days of Su Trolls in Hangzhou, the Yuanyou Party members felt a sense of sadness that Chi Yu was affected. They believed that if Su Trolls had not intensified the conflict, the party struggle would not have been so serious.

Therefore, the Yuanyou Party members who were eager to cry but did not cry also hated Su Shi and even gave Su Shi a "single name" to stir up shit in the court!

Cai Jing took the opportunity to suppress Su Shi again, and intended to impose literary inquisition on Su Shi, burning and banning Su Shi's works, especially those articles that scolded him.

But when the task was about to be completed, Emperor Zhezong suddenly became terrified because of excessive indulgence.

After Queen Dowager Xiang chose King Duan Song Huizong to inherit the throne, he abolished the new law again and recalled the Yuanyou Party members who were brutally suppressed to the court.

This time, Cai Jing and the reformists were so irritated that they were all in tears, and they were full of criticism!

What a good guy, the emperor and his family are here to play with us? Today’s reform and tomorrow’s abolishing the law, it’s so difficult for us to be ministers!

Which side should I stand now?

All the ministers were scared, and they were cautious, for fear of being killed by the emperor's family.

At this moment, the energetic Song Huizong said that he would remain neutral between the old and new parties, and everyone should compete healthily and not live to the death. Peaceful development and joint construction of a better future is the kingdom!

In order to prove his determination, he changed his lunar name to Jianzhong Yasukuni and expressed his absolute neutral attitude.

At the same time, because of Gao Qiu's good words, he summoned Su Shi to the capital and wanted to use it more.

Unfortunately, Su Shi was already in a state of failure due to repeated struggles by Cai Jing and others. He died in Changzhou on July 28, the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo.

This directly planted the seeds of hatred by Gao Qiu and Su Jun disciples towards Cai Jing!

However, the ministers in the court had no interest in Su Shi's life and death. Seeing that Song Huizong was firm in his neutral attitude, he immediately calmed down. After all, you have no jokes, let alone Empress Dowager Xiang is there!

So the court officials who have been tossed back and forth for many years have turned into dark fights to open fights, and they have a fight when they have something to do. They even rolled up their sleeves and performed a full-scale martial arts campaign to vent their anger or frustration over the years. It can be said that they have grudges and revenge, and they are not polite to take action.
