In the political map at that time, Su Shi belonged to the old party, while Zhang Dun belonged to the new party. Because Su Shi repeatedly stated the faults of the new law, he was regarded as a thorn in the new party's side, desperately looking for "criminal evidence" from his poems, with the intention of killing him. ?
At that time, Li Ding, Wang Jue, Shu Chu and others in the new party took advantage of Su Shi's poem "Rooted in the grave, no happiness, only when you are stung can you know the dragon", thinking that Su Shi compared himself to "being stung by a dragon" and framed him as an unfaithful person. Su Shi was imprisoned for this reason, and he was very desperate during the period.
Just when Su Shi's life was in danger, Zhang Dun in the new party camp stood up. He argued with his colleagues in front of Zongshen to prove Su Shi's innocence. After retiring from the DPRK, Zhang Dun denounced Prime Minister Wang Jue face to face: Do you want the Su Shi family to be silenced? For this kind of heckling, Wang Jue has nothing to say. He can only say that he heard it from Shu Shu. Zhang Dun snapped: Do you also eat Xu Shu's saliva? ?
A series of forced questions left the baron speechless. Due to the help of many people and Zongshen's unintentional killing of Su Shi, Su Shi finally saved his life. ?
Although Su Shi's life was saved, he became a famous person in the world at the age of weak crown, and his later life became more and more bumpy. On the day when the new party came to power, he was not reused; After the old political party came to power, the governor abolished the policy of the new party. He thinks that the new law also has reasonable places and should not be completely abandoned, so the old party doesn't like it.
After the death of Queen Xuanrentai, the old party lost its most important supporter. When Song Zhezong came to power, Zhang Dun was taken seriously, and he took crazy revenge on the old party. Although Su Shi was not very dependent on the old Party, he was also included in the list of Zhang Dun's vigorous suppression. ?
When Su Shi was relegated to Lingnan, he wrote poems such as "300 lychees a day, I will grow up to be a Lingnan person" and "I will report that the poet has enough sleep in spring, and the Taoist knocks five bells". It seems that life is ok. However, this state didn't last long, and Zhang Dun soon relegated Su Shi again, this time to send his old friends to Danzhou, Hainan, a more desolate place than Huizhou.
Zhang Dun's son Bird is Su Shi's protege. At first, Bird became famous only because he was appreciated by Su Shi. Later, Su Shi was called to return to the Central Plains and was about to accept the heavy responsibility. At this time, Zhang Dun lost power and influence, and Zhang went to visit his teacher Su Shi. Before we met, Bird was very scared. I don't know if the teacher will remember the new and old hatred with his father, so I wrote a letter to sound out the news first. ?
Su Shi asked Bird to put down the big stone in his heart. At this time, Su Shi has reached the end of his life, and soon died on his way back to the North, putting an end to his tortuous life.
These two people used to be the closest friends.
In the second year of Jiayou (1057), in March, Song Renzong personally tried Jinshi in Yuchong Zhengdian and went to the same school as Su Shi. In this examination of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Dun behaved unusually: he was indignant because his nephew Zhang Heng won the top prize and fell behind the younger generation, questioned the examiner's knowledge, and gave up the imperial edict of Jinshi, giving up this fame.
Zhang Dun took the exam again, ranking fifth in the grade .. It can be seen that this person has extraordinary temperament and outstanding talent. First, he competed with his younger relatives in the examination room and was ashamed of being behind his nephew. Second, the examination room seems to be designed for him. As long as you enter the examination room, you will inevitably take things from your bag. Where did an ordinary person get such courage?
Zhang Dun's joining the ranks of scholars in high school was not the beginning of his association with Su Shi. The real communication began when Zhang Dun was transferred to the Order of Shangluo, and Su Shi was transferred to Fengxiang Pavilion as a sacrificial officer. The two places are adjacent, both of which are under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Road. In the autumn of the seventh year of Jiayou (1062), Shaanxi Road held a trial in Chang 'an, in which both Zhang Dun and Su Shi participated. In the same year, Chang Lu, the handsome Shaanxi Taoist minister, met them with the help of the Chinese scholar, and they were very happy.
