The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 143 Hunter and Prey

Although Su Shi was miserable in the official circles of the Song Dynasty, everyone knew that if he gained power, no one would be able to control him.

Therefore, Su Shi’s disciples have always had an endless network. There were four scholars from the Su family, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, and Zhang Lei, all of whom were outstandingly talented. Unfortunately, they were all influenced by Su Shi. Although they appeared to be literary and elegant, they were not Nor can they develop in governance.

Recently, there were four scholars from the Su family, Li Gefei, Liao Zhengyi, Li Xi, and Dong Rong. These four people were in their prime and high-spirited, and people at that time said that they all had the "talent of national scholars."

Li Gefei, as a leading figure among the contemporary Sumen disciples, was inevitably targeted by both the old and the new parties. Fortunately, he had a very upright character and his opponents could not find any stain on him that could be used for impeachment.

By the way, when Cai Jing gained power later, he directly used a trick to eliminate all the top talents of the old, middle and young generations accumulated by the Song Dynasty for a hundred years with a "Yuanyou party member monument". It not only destroyed the foundation of the old and new parties, plus the neutral faction headed by Su Shi, but also laid the deep roots for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Perhaps some people are disapproving of the "Yuanyou Party Monument" incident, thinking that it is just the Song Dynasty version of the Literary Inquisition, which has gone too far in previous dynasties and later generations.

Compared to the tens of thousands of people implicated by Whip Chao, this little thing in the Song Dynasty is still a big deal!

There are only about three hundred officials. Three-legged toads are hard to find in the world, and two-legged people are everywhere. There are so many officials in the Song Dynasty, but there is still a shortage of three melons and two dates?

The problem is that Cai Jing is talented, and his political ability as a prime minister is qualified, and can even be said to be excellent.However, he had evil intentions and listed all the officials and talents in the court who were a threat to him in terms of ability into the Yuanyou Party Monument.

Among the more than 300 people, except for about twenty who have passed away or are old and decrepit, most of the others are in their prime or in their prime.It can be said that anyone who is listed on the party monument is a potential prime minister.

Cai Jing's move was equivalent to wiping out all the top talents of the Song Dynasty at once.

When Renzong of Song Dynasty got the big and small Su in the palace examination, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear, let alone the talents of nearly three hundred prime ministers!Not to mention that all of them will become talented, but as long as one-tenth of them can grow up, you will see whether Da Somba is suitable or not.

Therefore, the damage caused by the Yuanyou Party Monument Incident to the Song Dynasty was more than ten times more serious than the disaster of party imprisonment in the late Han Dynasty and the later so-called Literary Prison.When Song Weizong came to his senses later, he found that except for Cai Jing, there was no one really available in the court.

Regardless of the later Jingkang Incident, there were some civil servants who performed quite well, such as Li Gang, Zong Ze, Li Ruoshui, Zhang Shuye and others. In fact, except for one Zong Ze, the remaining civil servants were not bad except for their character. Basically, he doesn't have much real ability.

Historically, Zongze was a disciple of Lu Huiqing, the second-largest figure in the New Party. However, he had been wasting his time in local affairs for most of his life and never caught Cai Jing's eyes, so fortunately he was not included in the monument of Yuanyou Party members.

After talking about so much gossip, I can actually sum it up with one sentence: Although Su Shi is no longer in the court, the children of the Su family cannot be underestimated. In terms of reputation, it is inferior to the old and new parties combined.

Although Su Shi offended many people, he made more friends because of his bohemian nature.His younger brother Su Zhe was able to prosper as an official only by relying on his reputation, friends, disciples, etc. that his elder brother could not use.

Regardless of the fact that in history, Su Che fought for his official position over and over again and had to save his brother. There may be a certain reason for the deep brotherhood, but in this process, Su Che also really benefited a lot.

Nowadays, the power of the Sumen disciples is at a low point. Chen Tonge is naturally not surprised that Li Gefei is being targeted.

So when Ergou talked about this, Chen Tonge said that he was a stranger and advised him not to interfere.

Ergou said, "Master, not to mention that Li Gefei has some kindness towards my disciple. I can't ignore it. More importantly, there is a very powerful person in Li Gefei's family. I think she will be like Master Pang." Like you, you will become my indispensable help in the future."

Chen Tong'e became somewhat interested at this time, but asked: "Oh? Is there such a person in Li Xueshi's family? I only heard that there is a little girl in his family who is a little drunkard."

Ergou looked at Chen Tong'e in surprise and said, "Master, how did you know there was an alcoholic in his family?"

Chen Tong smiled evilly and said: "Li Gefei's wife and your wife are close friends. Mrs. Li is the daughter of the late Grand Master Wang (Wang Gongchen), and your wife's background is not inferior to hers. Recently, the two of them have been in close contact. Talk without restraint, old man, I heard a few gossips by chance."

Li Qingzhao had three major hobbies: drunkenness, gambling, and boating.Drunkness ranks first. Of course she is an out-and-out drunkard, but this does not prevent her talents from being known to the world.

In the future, Li Qingzhao will shock the world with his poem "Like a Dream", and then he will become famous in his lifetime, overshadowing the famous poets of Huizong's dynasty.

Ergou smiled calmly and said: "My disciple, it is the little drunkard that I have taken a liking to. Master, I have decided to intervene in this matter. If I get the chance, I will take this woman as my partner, and I will ask the master to help me make it happen."

Chen Tonge nodded and said with a smile: "You are so shameless, you bastard, you actually plotted against someone else's girl. Okay! I'll talk to your wife and ask her to give you some advice."

The two of them chatted some more, but Ergou was about to say goodbye and leave.

Chen Tonge said: "Er Gou, this capital is no different than anywhere else. With your current appearance, it may be a bit troublesome to walk around casually. You have to be more careful."

Ergou smiled and grinned, showing his white teeth, and said: "Master! There are thunder and wind on the ground, and the promulgation room is dark. The beautiful scenery in Bianliang City is just right for my disciple to calm down the obscurity and express my spirit. !”

There were countless wind and snow swords hidden in his words.

Chen Tong'e had no intention of stopping this, because this was an indispensable process for every would-be demon-suppressing person to forge and refine his mind.

Forging and refining thoughts is actually refining the demon-suppressing person's own beliefs and principles.

The casting process of each Demon Suppressor is different, but generally there is a common thread.

Whether it is to govern the world and save people, or to kill and eradicate evil, or to express love for the mountains and rivers, or to clean up the world of mortals, everyone has his or her own path.

What Ergou showed was the desire to kill evil and create thunder to rectify the Dharma. However, this desire has not yet formed, but it is not even a little bit worse than Zongze.

Chen Tong'e is not worried about Ergou's strength. He is only worried that Ergou is not familiar enough with the capital, especially in the underground of Tokyo City, where there is a place called the Worry-Free Cave. That is the real danger.

Bianliang City in Tokyo is not only the largest capital city in the world, but its underground drainage system is also the best in the world.

In this dark and complex drainage system, there are countless darkness and ugliness hidden, which represents the dark side of this light city of human civilization.

As bright as the light is, so deep are the shadows.

Ergou is a person who listens to advice, but he will not back down, he will only make more and more complete preparations.

When night fell, Ergou, dressed in brocade clothes and waving a folding fan, appeared leisurely on the street outside Donghua Gate like a handsome young man.
