In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi moved to Huzhou (Xing Wu County, Zhejiang Province). In July, Huang Fuzhun and others sent by Yushitai were arrested and imprisoned. They testified that Su Shi distorted the facts and slandered the court in his poems.
, He, Shu Qi and others quoted Su Shi's poem "Hangzhou Chronicle" as evidence, saying that he "played with the imperial court and mocked state affairs", and even dug out a sentence or two from his other poems and convicted him out of context, such as: "Reading thousands of books without reading the law made you know nothing about Yao and Shun". It turned out that Su Shi said that he knew nothing about the law. For another example, "if the East China Sea has a clear idea, it should be taught to turn brine into mulberry fields", saying that he is accusing the water conservancy construction of being wrong. In fact, Su Shi himself built water conservancy projects in Hangzhou. How could he think that was wrong? Another example is "Shao said that he forgot to understand the taste, and there was no salt in recent March", saying that he was satirizing the prohibition of people from selling salt. To sum up, it is concluded that he dared to ridicule the emperor and the prime minister, which was a heinous crime and should be put to death.
Su Shi was tortured in Yushitai, and he admitted that he was born to die. In the end, I will survive my death. On February 28th of that year/KLOC-0, Meng's gift was sentenced to exile in Huangzhou (Huanggang County, Hubei Province). Su Shi was detained for nearly a hundred days and then released from Yushitai prison. Later generations compiled the statement and confession of this case into a Wutai Poetry Case. Wutai is a jade platform. "Zhu Hanbo Chuan Shi": "At that time, well water in more than 100 areas of Wu's official residence dried up; In addition, there are cypress trees in his home, and thousands of wild owls often inhabit them. In the morning, they go to dusk, which they call morning and evening. " Later generations took Master Yu as Five Blessingg and Yu Shitai as Wutai. Because the initiators of this case are all officials of Yushitai, including Cheng of Yushitai and He (a trainee historian of Yushitai), it is called "Wutai Poetry Case". .
In addition to the above-mentioned "trumped-up charges", it is said that Su Shi also offended the then prime minister Wang Anshi. It was recorded in people's notes at that time.
It is said that when Su Shi was a minister of rites in the imperial court, he went to Wang Anshi's study Wu Zhai one day to find Wang Anshi. When Wang was away, Su Shi saw a poem written in two sentences on Wu Zhai's desk-"The moon crows several times, and the yellow dog lies in his heart."
Su Dongpo looked and looked, wondering. How do you call the bright moon in the branches? How can a yellow dog lie on a flower heart? Thought it was wrong. So I changed my pen and changed the poem to "The bright moon shines in the sky and the yellow dog lies in the shade".
After Wang Anshi came back, he was extremely dissatisfied with Su Shi's revision of his poems and demoted him to Hepu. After Su Dongpo arrived in Hepu, one day, he went out for a walk and saw a group of children around a pile of flowers, shouting, "Yellow dog Rollo, black dog Rollo, come out quickly!" Rollo, rollo rollo. "Out of curiosity, Su Dongpo went over and asked the child what to shout. The child said, let's tell the bug to come out quickly so as to catch it. Su Dongpo looked closely at the flower and saw several yellow and black insects as big as sesame crawling in the stamen. Ask the child again what kind of bug is this? The child said: yellow dog bug, black dog bug. Su Dongpo left the flowers and came to a banyan tree. He met a crisp birdsong and asked others, what is this birdsong? Others replied: this is called the bright moon bird. At this time, Su Dongpo suddenly realized that he had wrongly corrected Wang Anshi's poems.
The authenticity of this record can no longer be verified. From a historical point of view, it seems that Wang Anshi's punishing Su Shi and correcting two poems by mistake is not the real reason why Wang Anshi hates Su Shi. The essential reason is that Su Shi opposed Wang Anshi's political reform. That's why Su Shifang has such a prison with a criminal name.
