Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 143: Crazy
The prime minister, Tang Jie, was not in good health. After all, he was about to reach the age of Er Shun. He went to have a flirt with Wang Anshi all day, and when he returned home, he was so angry that he was sick in bed.
However, Tang Jie is a well-known direct minister in the court, and some people even praised him as the contemporary Bao Zheng. His character is also impeccable, and he is really highly respected.
He couldn't afford this illness, which aroused the anger of conservatives even more.
The censors and admonishers headed by Liu Qi and Qian Yi frantically went up to impeach Wang Anshi as a traitor.
This is a serious crime.
Zhao Xu didn't expect that Tang Jie would fall ill with anger, but he felt aggrieved. I didn't do anything. The tax law still takes care of you literati, and you are here shouting and killing.
It's also really bullying.
Wang Anshi thought the same way, Tang Jie came to scold me, and I argued with him, can this also be my fault?
He was not to be outdone, and he couldn't show weakness, because this was just the beginning, and he had to be strong, so he secretly asked people to play, impeaching Qian Yi for forming a clique for selfish purposes, and trying to make an example of others.
Zhao Xu also knew what was going on in his heart, and he couldn't let them be so arrogant, so he immediately decreed that Qian Yi should be demoted from the capital, and go to Jiangzhou as a small official to accompany Wang Sinoong.
This angered the conservatives even more.
The duty of the censor is to speak. Your emperor can't demote people from the capital just because the censor performed his duties. Does it mean that you can only say what you like to hear from now on.
This led to more censors getting involved.
On the one hand, he interceded for Qian Yi, and on the other hand, he continued to impeach Wang Anshi.
But if you look back and think about it, the emperor actually just set up a new department to preside over the new law, but he didn't initiate the reform from Zhongshu in accordance with the usual practice.
But in the end there is also the participation of the Privy Council.
This is actually not a big treasonous thing.
However, after a year of probing, many ministers were very opposed to some of Wang Anshi's ideas, even disgusted, causing everyone's brain nerves to be tense all the time, thinking that Wang Anshi would definitely mess up.
Nowadays, as soon as the Three Divisions and Regulations are implemented, the conservatives seem to be poked by a needle. Although the skin is not broken, they react violently.
This is actually a kind of nerve reflex.
But it also directly led to the rapid intensification of conflicts.
As the new head of Yushitai, Wen Yanbo is in a hurry. He should stand up and lead the Yushi, but he also feels that at least wait for the new law to come out. It's not reasonable to make trouble now!
But people can't help themselves in court!
Wen Yanbo hurried to find Sima Guang.
"Junshi, it's impossible to go on like this!"
Wen Yanbo said anxiously.
"I know too."
Sima Guang wanted to cry but had no tears: "But they did this wrongly. Although the law on royalties has not been published in the Chinese Communist Party, it has been discussed. Your Majesty knows it, and it is for the sake of literati. Not only that The common people are still looking forward to Wang Jiefu's ability to reform Yaqian, but Han Xianggong and Fugong have not said anything!"
"Of course I know."
Wen Yanbo said: "But we have to find a way to appease them. If this quarrel continues, I'm afraid they will all be demoted to the capital in a short time. At that time, if Wang Jiefu's new law is really inappropriate, no one will stand up to oppose it." .”
It's too hurtful to lose soldiers and generals before it even starts.
At the same time, it is also implying Sima Guang, no matter what, you have to stand up, otherwise, who will support you in the future.
Although Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are higher than Sima Guang in terms of status and seniority, they are old and have been idle for a while. Sima Guang is undoubtedly the next head.
Wen Yanbo also intends to help Sima Guang to the top. After all, Sima Guang shares the same political philosophy as them.
Sima Guang pondered for a while, then sighed: "Then let's compete in the courtroom."
Wen Yanbo asked: "How to compete in court?"
Sima Guangdao: "The officials and Wang Jiefu obviously wanted to use Qian Yi to scare the others. If you don’t let him speak out, he can’t do it. It’s better to let him resign, and then go to Kaifeng Mansion as a commoner to sue Wang Anshi for violating the law of the ancestors.”
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Is this possible?"
Sima Guang said: "Zhang San can do it, and of course Qian Yi can do it too. If the court refuses to accept it, then the reason is on our side."
Wen Yanbo asked again: "Can you win?"
Sima Guang shook his head and sighed: "Who can say for sure, but it's better than leaving the capital feeling aggrieved, or continuing to make such noise."
Wen Yanbo nodded, in the courtroom, no matter what, he was arguing for an argument, and the court would not be divided. He thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Why don't we invite Zhang San to file this lawsuit?"
Sima Guang frowned, "Zhang San has just received the favor of Wang Jiefu, he may not agree to help us, or I will find him in person."
Wen Yanbo suddenly remembered that Zhang San was responsible for tax calculation according to the royalty law, how could he help Qian Yi, so he shook his head and said: "Don't go looking for it, Qian Yi's eloquence may not be inferior to Zhang San, It's just that he lacks experience in litigation, but this litigation is about the same as court defense, so Qian Yi himself probably wouldn't want Zhang San to represent him in the lawsuit."
Sima Guang said: "If Duke Wen has no objections, I will ask Liu Shu to talk to Qian Yi and see if he is willing."
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, "Whether you can win or not is another matter. Even if you lose, it can be regarded as an explanation for everyone, and you can also try your method to see if it works."
Record Alley.
The Bianjing Law Firm, which reopened a few days ago, was so quiet at that time, but at this moment, it is so lively.
Fan Li, who was guarding the counter, saw the crowds of guests in the room, and finally understood Zhang Fei's design concept.
Why change the storefront to look like a restaurant.
If it weren't for this design, how could so many people be seated.
Moreover, most of the people sitting here are literati, or brothers and sisters of scholar-official families.
They are all here to talk about copyright.
The imperial court takes care of us literati like this, so we can't live up to the imperial court's kindness.
A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way.
In addition, those big booksellers also smell business opportunities. This is the best time to monopolize, because if this happens, small booksellers will definitely not be able to survive.
Especially when they learned that the Yan family had signed an authorization contract with Zhang Fei's bookstore, they also started to act, and they are very experienced. It can not only persuade the other party, but also maximize its own interests, so it also actively seeks to purchase authorization.
The two hit it off.
But I am not very familiar with this new law, and I don't know how to sign a contract. I have no choice but to come to Bianjing Law Firm to experience the one-stop service of contract signing and tax calculation.
At that time, they only need to take the tax calculation form of Bianjing Law Firm and go to the Municipal Taxation Department to pay the money.
In fact, it’s okay not to pay.
It's just that the imperial court does not give any protection.
Fan Li didn't even bother to greet the guests now, so he just stood on the counter, counting the real money, how cool it is.
Of course, with so much money, he doesn't trust others to watch it.
And Zhang Fei was not idle either, at this time he was entertaining big clients such as Ma Tianhao and Fan Zheng in the backyard.
"Alas."
Chen Maoqian sighed, and then looked at Ma Tianhao beside him, "Fourth brother, I never imagined that our brothers would also be slaughtered on the chopping block."
Ma Tianhao glanced at Fan Zheng who was at the side, and hummed: "Brother Fan is smarter, let his son be slaughtered."
Fan Zheng smiled and remained silent.
"Hey, hey!"
Zhang Fei was speechless: "Don't be like this, it makes me seem to kill you."
Ma Tianhao said angrily: "Five hundred guan a year? You really can do it! Li Guozhong is still the leader of the line, but their shop is only ten guan for the deed and one yuan."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Outsiders, the money goes to the money, but don't insult me, can you compare Li Guozhong to me?"
Chen Maoqian complained: "But yours is too expensive!"
Zhang Fei said: "This is not a contract money, but a service fee. As long as you hire our law firm for a long time, we will cover all your contracts, tax calculations, and all legal issues, five hundred guan It's really a conscience price."
Ma Tianhao snorted: "Then if we don't file a lawsuit, wouldn't it be a loss."
Zhang Fei said: "Member, please see clearly that the lawsuit is an additional fee, not included in the service fee."
"Additional calculation?"
"Yes!"
"Then what are we spending the money on?"
"Make sure there is no lawsuit."
"?"
Zhang Fei explained: "If you really come to the court, then you can't say anything. My service is to ensure that you will not go to court, so when you are not sure whether it is illegal, you must ask Come to me first."
Black!
It's really not ordinary black.
Chen Maoqian felt that he was really a kind and gentle little sheep, born to be slaughtered.
They quickly picked up the contract and took a closer look.
Zhang Fei said again: "The current situation is turbulent and unpredictable. God knows what will happen. This person walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet, maybe if he is not careful, he may go bankrupt, and spend five hundred guan to buy a peace of mind." , is there a more profitable business than this in the world. Besides, the five hundred pennies are just a drop in the bucket for you."
Fixed annual expenditure of 500 guan.
Just open your mouth, nothing.
Plucking hurts too!
Ma Tianhao and Chen Maoqian were depressed and silent.
It's really sent to your door to be slaughtered!
Zhang Fei glanced at them and coughed lightly: "Of course, this is just a suggestion. When we do business, what matters is what you like and what you want. You can also ask us to calculate taxes independently. We will calculate the tax according to the scale of your business." To calculate the price, it is at most one hundred per year."
Ma Tianhao snorted, "Is there no account in my house?"
Zhang Fei smiled disdainfully: "Can your accountant guarantee that you pay taxes to satisfy the government?"
Ma Tianhao died immediately.
Fan Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Uncles, this junior thinks that Brother Zhang's asking price is very fair. In this world, we really need the protection of the law."
Zhang Fei immediately praised: "It's true that the blue is better than the blue!"
Speaking, he said to Ma Tianhao again: "I said Brother Hao, you should come here too."
Ma Tianhao snorted: "Let that traitor come, I'm afraid he will sign all five thousand coins. Sign it! Sign it! When I came here, I knew I would be slaughtered by you, but I didn't expect you to be slaughtered so ruthlessly."
Zhang Fei said: "When the price increases in the future, you will know how merciful I am now."
"?"
It was almost evening, but the sky was still bright.
An old man in his fifties walked slowly to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Although he was dressed in common clothes, his waist was straight and he was upright.
The yamen servant in front of the gate immediately came forward when he saw this person, clasped his fists and said, "The villain has seen Qian Yushi."
This old man is Yu Shi Qian Yi.
Qian Wei said: "I have resigned from the position of censor, and now I am only a commoner, so you don't need to salute me."
The buddies looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to take it seriously.
Don't offend Yushi if you offend anyone!
Qian Yi ignored them and went straight to Dengwengu.
What does he want to do?
Before they reacted, Qian Yi had already picked up the drumstick and vigorously beat the Dengwen Drum of Kaifeng Mansion.
