Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 269: Revenge

Chapter 269 revenge

At the beginning, almost everyone believed that this Wang Anshi was repeating his old tricks, using the lawsuit to meet his political needs.

In other words, by convicting Song Minqiu, Li Dalin, and Su Shi, the effect of this ban can be achieved.

Wang Anshi has already used this trick before.

In the beginning, including Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, they were very nervous, but they were not afraid of Wang Anshi, but Zhang Fei. After all, Zhang Fei had created too many miracles in the courtroom, even Wang Hong Reported to Qiongzhou.

If you go to court, it is life and death.

Now that Zhang Fei really won, what should he do next?

If you are not careful, it may cause a huge political storm.

But in the middle of the lawsuit, Fu Bi and the others were completely relieved. They could see that this was just a show.

It is a play to whitewash Wang Anshi.

Actually, Wang Anshi also regretted being so reckless at the time. He really did not expect that it would arouse the opposition of all scholars, because today's tabloids are not an indispensable daily item in people's lives.

He only considered it at the national level, and he even believed that his approach would be unanimously supported by ministers, while ignoring the attention of today's scholars on speech.

Actually, in the Song Dynasty, neither the ancestral law nor the "Song Xingtong" said that speech should not be punished. This is actually a product of the game between the scholar-officials and the emperor.

The main reason was Song Renzong, who took the initiative to take a step back.

So there is such a saying.

The reason why the scholar-bureaucrats defend this point is because the scholar-bureaucrats rely on public opinion to counteract the imperial power. If the imperial power is tightened on public opinion, it will be a great blow to the scholar-bureaucrats.

This is a very sensitive topic.

Of course, this is why Zhao Xu secretly supports the tabloids. He is different from Song Renzong. If he wants to control the power, public opinion becomes very important. But on the surface, he is also very clear that he is difficult to rely on. The game between the monarch and his ministers, to tighten the power of public opinion, this incident has well illustrated this problem.

You can only fight with them in public opinion, not close public opinion.

Wang Anshi, who has reacted, also knows that this is an impossible goal, but let him admit his mistake, which will affect his political status and the promulgation of the New Deal.

At that time, he was in a dilemma and regretted his mistakes.

He was forced to go to Zhang Fei to find a solution.

So Zhang Fei made a decision, let's fight a lawsuit.

Losing to the law will not affect Wang Anshi's political status. On the contrary, it will reflect Wang Anshi's spirit of defending the law. Although I always win, I will lose, and I will admit it!

At the same time, even if he loses the lawsuit, Wang Anshi can still stick to his point of view, and he can also express his grievances and original intentions to everyone through litigation.

For Zhang Fei, this is a lawsuit that is destined to lose.

But now that the lawsuit is over, the verdict has come out, but this verdict throws the problem back to the imperial court.

Now Zhao Yan only acquitted Song Minqiu and Li Dalin, but did not abolish the ban, but this verdict made it not illegal to discuss current affairs in tabloid newspapers.

This is the game between the judiciary and government orders.

The imperial court must come up with a solution immediately, otherwise, this will affect the authority of the government order and the judiciary at the same time.

People will also ask, who should listen to this.

Changing Arch Hall.

"I've read the court trial record, and both sides are right. Is it forbidden or not, what do you guys think?"

Zhao Xu directly threw this question to the ministers.

Wang Anshi immediately stood up, "I still insist on my original opinion. If the court does not control the tabloids, many problems will inevitably arise, and the court will regret it later."

In his position, he must persevere to the end.

The strange thing is that after he finished speaking, no one immediately stood up to oppose him. If Wang Anshi lost the lawsuit in the past, he would not have to beat the dog in the water.

This is what these ministers also realize, and this will also involve their power.

At this time, Sima Guang suddenly stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "Quickly tell me."

Sima Guangdao: "Scholar Wang's worries are indeed justified, and I also supported them at the time, but the fear of scholars all over the world is also reasonable.

I compared the tabloid of the genuine bookstore with the unknown tabloid, and found a problem. The tabloids sparked civil unrest.

The reason is that Zhang San dare not publish articles indiscriminately. If something goes wrong, he will be responsible. The real danger is those who secretly spread tabloids. They are seeking profit, but at the same time they hide their identities , make sure you don't take responsibility.

This minister suggested that if you want to start a tabloid, you must register with the imperial court and obtain permission from the imperial court before you can publish the tabloid. Otherwise, it will be considered illegal.

In this way, scholars will naturally no longer object, and the imperial court allows them to discuss current affairs in an open and aboveboard manner, but if someone spreads their opinions secretly, it is obvious that there are ghosts in their hearts, and the imperial court must not let them go. "

In addition to Wang Anshi, ministers such as Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Zhao Bian all stood up to support Sima Guang's proposal.

But Wang Anshi didn't object either, he acted like if something happened at that time, don't blame me.

This is indeed the best of both worlds, and it is also the consistent style of the Song Dynasty.

On the surface, it is released, but in fact it is still under the control of the court.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty didn't have the courage to write a letter to the end. Who the **** would reason with you?

The power to publish tabloids is controlled by the imperial court, so do you dare to publish them indiscriminately?

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Just what Qing said."

This is the result he wants. Let the tabloids of the genuine bookstore get the endorsement of these ministers. When the time comes, there will be a public opinion war, and they will have no choice but to seal the genuine bookstore with government orders and justice.

After the matter was agreed upon, Yushi Fan Yu suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Xueshi, as a political adviser, has repeatedly gone to Kaifeng Mansion to sue his colleagues. Regardless of it, it will also affect the people's trust in the judiciary. Nowadays, many people believe that Xueshi Wang is secretly using power to force the Kaifeng government to accept some groundless lawsuits."

"It's nonsense."

Wang Anshi immediately retorted: "If the Kaifeng government feels unreasonable, it can dismiss it. If you think I am bullying the small with the big, then Mr. Zhao will not be afraid of me and choose to accept the case."

Wen Yanbo said: "But your actions will indeed harm the court's laws. If there is any dispute between officials in the future, they will all go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint. What's wrong with this? It will also make the people think that the court is not Discord."

Fu Bi nodded and said: "The old minister also thinks that this is indeed a bit against the rules. Although the law does not prohibit this, it is unfair to all parties if you wear official uniforms to fight the lawsuit. In the end Does it represent the imperial court or an individual, who can tell clearly?"

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, but did not make a sound. He still supported Wang Anshi, but even Fu Bi stood up, so he had to think about it.

At this time, Qi Hui suddenly stood up and said: "I think the reason for this situation is that litigation has arisen, but the judicial reform has not been completed. If the Procuratorate is established, many problems will be solved, because the prosecution The court represents the imperial court, and the imperial court can intervene through the prosecution court."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked Sima Guang, "How are you preparing?"

Sima Guang replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the preparations are almost done, but the court still lacks talents for prosecution."

Liu Shu immediately said: "The minister recommended Fan Sijian as the head of the Procuratorate. Fan Sijian's ability is obvious to all."

Fan Chunren was also present, secretly happy in his heart, in fact, he had already set his sights on this position.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked Sima Guang, "What do you think?"

Sima Guangdao: "Fan Sijian's ability is unquestionable, but his experience may still be lacking. It is just that I am implementing a legal aid system. I suggest that Fan Sijian go to the people to provide legal aid for the people. Legal aid, while accumulating their own experience.”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi looked at each other in surprise.

Zhao Xu looked at Fan Chunren again, "Is Fan Sijian willing?"

Fan Chunren was also a little confused. He wanted to be the director of the prosecution, but he was asked to work as a legal aid. This is too far away. But when it comes to this point, if he refuses to go, the chief prosecutor will definitely not let him be, and he can only accept his orders.

Zhao Xu said: "Then it's settled."

Out of the main hall, Sima Guang said expressionlessly, "There is still one left."

Wang Anshi beside him said hehe, "Don't worry, that kid won't be able to escape."

After finishing speaking, he waved his big sleeves and left.

Authentic bookstore.

"Saburo is here!"

"Hello Saburo."

The craftsmen of the printing workshop greeted Zhang Fei one after another when they saw Zhang Fei coming.

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Masters are very energetic!"

Everyone laughed happily.

After resting for a long time, they are of course full of energy.

Zhang Fei said again: "Work hard, and strive to buy a house within two years."

When everyone heard this, they were all trembling with excitement.

Buy a house within two years.

Really?

Hou Donglai said excitedly: "Sanlang, can we make so much money?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's not completely impossible. Although I lost the lawsuit, we can now print tabloids without any worries. With our previous development momentum, buying a house in two years is not a daydream."

Hou Donglai nodded, thinking in his mind that at the peak of the previous period, he could achieve twenty times the profit.

Zhang Fei asked again: "How is the workshop I asked you to find?"

".!"

Hou Donglai immediately petrified.

Zhang Fei said: "How about you go to typesetting."

Hou Donglai hurriedly said: "Oh! I was looking for it, but it happened here again, so it was delayed. I will contact the Chen family right away. It won't take long, it won't take long, and Sanlang will give I have a chance."

"OK, I'll give you another chance."

"Yes yes yes."

After arranging the work, Zhang Fei went home.

As soon as he got home, Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian greeted him.

Gao Wenyin said anxiously: "Sanlang, just now the Kaifeng Mansion sent someone to issue a service notice, asking you to serve."

"Military service?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback, "What kind of service do you serve?"

Xu Zhiqian stepped forward and said with a smile, "Of course it's the Yaqian service! Didn't you already get your household registration in the capital last year? Of course you will have to perform military duties this year. With your wealth, you can't be forced to do hard labor." of."

"Yaqian Army?"

Zhang Fei immediately looked surprised, "Then what should I do?"

Seeing Zhang Fei's expression, Gao Wenyin was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

She has changed color.

This may just be gone forever.

Xu Zhiqian said with a smile: "Don't worry, this Yaqian service can be solved with money, or you can hire someone to serve for you."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, this can be solved with money, the last thing I need is money."

Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "How should this be done?"

Xu Zhiqian pondered for a while, and said, "Let Fan Yuanwai go to Kaifeng Mansion for you, he is better at handling such things."

Zhang Fei nodded: "Okay, I will ask Li Si to talk to Fan Yuanwai later."

Gao Wenyin was always worried, "Is this really okay?"

Xu Zhiqian smiled wryly and said, "Sister Gao, don't worry. Look at Ma Yuanwai, Chen Yuanwai, and Fan Yuanwai. Their sons have served in the military. They all need to serve in the military, but they all pay for it. , Kaifeng Mansion sends people here, it’s just a practice, there won’t be any problems.”

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, my father-in-law is in charge of the Dali Temple, how could he let me serve in the army."

Xu Zhiqian glared at him immediately, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Save it, save it, I'm just telling you."

After Gao Wenyin saw it, she felt a little relieved.
