Su Shi was a great writer in Song Dynasty. He made brilliant achievements in literature, but he was repeatedly frustrated in politics, and even was almost killed by Song Shenzong once. Su Shi was detained by Song Shenzong for Wutai Poetry Case. At this time, Song Shenzong asked him if he had a gold medal to avoid death, which was actually of great significance. Since I asked you if you had a gold medal for avoiding death, if you did, it might be released again this time. If not, just wait.
Su Shi also knows that since Song Shenzong asked this question, I'm afraid he had a narrow escape. Su Shi thought for a long time in prison and wrote two poems, the first one 1 was for his brothers and sisters, and the second one was for his wife, children and family. The words are sad, but they are straightforward and sincere. Of course, these two poems were seen by Song Shenzong. When Song Shenzong saw Su Shi, he was sincere, so Song Shenzong felt his sadness and let him go.
In fact, there is also a folk story during this period. It is said that Su Shi was imprisoned, so he could not contact his family. He and his son agreed that if it was good, they would drink good wine and meat, and if the news from outside reached me, they would send me to eat a fish. One day, Su Shi's son was suddenly in a hurry, but he didn't forget to deliver the meal, so he asked his friend to deliver the meal. His friends didn't know, and Su Shi's son didn't say anything about sending fish. His friends respected Su Shi very much, drank good wine, cooked good dishes, and then sent a fish. Su Shi read it and was very painful. He closed his eyes and wrote these two poems.
In fact, apart from Su Shi's poems, Song Shenzong was deeply moved by his emotions. Outside, Wang Anshi and others also tried their best to rescue Su Shi. Under the interference of the harem, he survived.
