In the fourth year of Xining (1071), Su Shi was demoted from Beijing, and it was exactly ten years after the sixth year of Jia (1061) when he went to "Jia Yi's Treatise". Ten years have passed, and he feels that he is far superior to Jia Yi, but he has also failed to achieve his ambition. In many of his letters at this time, there were many self-pity words such as "the great disgruntled and powerful", "quite angry by those in power, lonely and afraid of self-satisfaction, and the day is sinful", and "you can't surrender your will to the world, it will be a powder" (all from Su Shi's "Nine Songs with Ziming") and other self-pitying words.
In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), the times changed, and the new law had become an indisputable temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the implementation effect was directly linked to the authority of the emperor of Shenzong himself. With the acquiescence of Song Shenzong, the "Wutai Poetry Case" broke out, and Su Shi was suddenly reduced from 2,000 Shi in the ruling place to a prisoner of the Imperial Prison, and was arrested and returned to the capital Yushitai, where he was detained and interrogated for 130 days before he was released under the mediation of all parties. For Su Shi, being involved in *** is certainly a disaster, but it may be called a blessing in disguise, and it is in the "Wutai Poetry Case" that Song Shenzong's impression of him has changed greatly.
After the outbreak of the "Wutai Poetry Case", the government and the opposition said that Su Shi had more lovers, which was beyond Song Shenzong's expectations. Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe wrote a sincere "Letter to Prison for Brother Shi", from the perspective of family affection, and strongly appealed to the compassion of the Divine Sect. At the same time, Zhang Fangping and Fan Zhen, the former important ministers of Zhishi, also went up to ask for Su Shi's release, and as Su Shi's relatives, friends and mentors, they came forward to say that it was reasonable. Among the intercessors were not only the neutral Wang Anli and Wu Chong, but even Wang Anshi, Zhang and other members of the New Party. Their opinions are very unanimous, Su Shi has great talent and should be protected.
There is no doubt that it was the advice of the ministers with different positions and positions that made Song Shenzong "exclaim: 'I have no other intentions'." He may not really realize the value of Su Shi's talent, and he is still dwelling on the past. In the eighth year of Xining (1075), when he talked to Wang Anshi about Su Shi, who was demoted out of Beijing, he also said: "If Su Shi's generation is abolished by the imperial court, they all know that they are deceitful, and they are recommended by the envoys." The "deception" is the meaning of "deceiving the king". Shenzong believed that Su Shi's "bullying of the king" was not a trivial matter, and it was very likely that he was dissatisfied with Su Shi's great reversal of political attitude in the early days of the reform, and then acquiesced in the occurrence of the "Wutai Poetry Case". After the case broke out, Su Shi was unanimously sponsored by the government and the opposition, including his political opponent Wang Anshi, which inevitably touched Shenzong, especially the Empress Dowager Cao Shi told him on her deathbed that Renzong was "very happy" because Su Shi and Su Zhe passed the "science system" test, and thought that he had selected two Taiping prime ministers for future generations.
For the arrogant Su Shi, the "Wutai Poetry Case" was indeed a heavy blow. His officialdom mentality during the Xining period was actually very clear to the imperial court, just like Wang Anli said: "Shi is self-motivated by his talents, and the title can be taken immediately, Gu Lulu is like this, and there is no hope in it." It is precisely because of the self-righteous arrogance in the past that caused the catastrophe that Su Shi couldn't help but reflect. After being treated leniently, he wrote a poem: "Why should we be deeply blamed for this disaster, there has never been a reason for stealing." "Youyun" is tired of writing in his life, and his reputation is not low. (On December 28, Meng En instructed the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment to reuse the two songs of the former rhyme, a member of the water department of the school, and the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment practice) showed a certain amount of reflection. After all, Song Shenzong is in the prime of life, if nothing else, Su Shi will stay under his rule for a long time, if he still wants to make a difference in the eunuch journey, then he must try to regain the favor of Shenzong, in other words, he must adjust his political attitude. But fortunately, after some tossing, Song Shenzong finally realized that Su Shi was a great talent and began to pay attention to his every move.
