Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 395: One play to set the tone

A luxurious carriage slowly headed towards the Cao Mansion.

There were two middle-aged men with big arms and round waists sitting in the car. They were Cao Ping and Ma Tianhao. There was a small long table in the middle with a pot of hot wine on it and two newspapers.

"This is really troublesome!"

Cao Ping put down his wine glass, "Originally Wang Jiefu's new policy and Sima Junshi's judicial reform were already messy enough, but this time there is another legal system, I don't have enough brains."

Ma Tianhao said: "I don't dare to say anything about the New Deal and Sima Reform, but I think this legal system is very beneficial to us businessmen."

Cao commented: "Really?"

Ma Tianhao nodded and said: "I have discussed this matter with Senior Brother Lu before. The law of the rule of law is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals. Do you want to start a lawsuit for yourself?

Only us businessmen are afraid that the government will ask for our money, and we can afford a lawsuit. If the imperial court really legislates according to the rule of law, it will be of great benefit to us businessmen! "

Cao Ping nodded: "You are not unreasonable."

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Master! Home!"

The old servant outside the car said.

Cao Ping said to Ma Tianhao: "Let's talk at home."

"Yes."

"Daddy is back!"

As soon as he stood firmly, Cao Dongdong came out to welcome him, and saluted Ma Tianhao: "Uncle Ma is here too."

Cao Ping asked: "Did you go to the police station today?"

Cao Dongdong said: "I went, but there is nothing wrong with the police station. My son will come back first. It seems that Daddy didn't go to the police station today."

Cao commented: "Daddy went to the imperial city to do something today, so he didn't go."

Cao Dongdong glanced at Cao Ping with a guilty conscience.

Cao Ping asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Cao Dongdong was stunned, "Oh, I have invited Xiao Ma and the others to have dinner in Baifan Building. If Daddy has nothing to say, then I will go first."

"Go, go!"

"Uncle Ma, my nephew will not accompany you."

"Be careful on the road."

"Hey!"

Cao Dongdong got into the carriage directly.

After entering the mansion, Ma Tianhao commented to Cao: "Dong'er has been sensible recently, and he knows how to go out to greet him, alas... my family's brat, even if I have already entered the house, he doesn't even bother to get up. .”

"Wait!"

Cao Ping was taken aback, and looked back at the carriage going away, "This kid won't be in trouble again, right?"

Ma Tianhao was stunned and said, "What does the deputy commander say?"

Cao commented: "That brat never went out to greet me."

......

Alum Building.

"free shipping"

Come out of the gate, Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you Da Lang for your bad idea."

Fan Zheng said embarrassingly: "If the third brother wants to keep a low profile, this is the only way to do it."

"Okay. I'll go first."

"Third Brother, walk slowly."

Back at home, Xu Zhiqian quickly greeted her, "How is the situation?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "Fan Da gave me a bad idea."

"Fan Da? Fan Zheng?"

"Yes!"

"What does this have to do with Fan Zheng?"

"I went to the Alumni Building to book our wedding banquet, how could it have nothing to do with him."

"Who asked you this."

"So what are you asking?"

"The law of the rule of law!"

Xu Zhiqian stomped lightly.

"So that's what you said!" Zhang Fei gently put his arms around her, "As expected, the response is not bad, but our top priority is to get the wedding done first."

Xu Zhiqian said: "As for the wedding, keep it simple, don't make it too grand, my father and I don't like it."

Zhang Fei sighed: "That's what I talked about with Fan Da. Even if I don't invite them, they will come to the door. Last time I went up to six levels, hehe..."

Speaking of the six consecutive promotions, he wanted to laugh, "They all came here uninvited."

Xu Zhiqian asked, "What did Fan Da say?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "He said that if he really wants to keep a low profile, he can only postpone the wedding for a while, and wait until it snows heavily. I guess fewer people will come."

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

"What are you thinking."

Zhang Fei said: "It's a snowy day, how to welcome relatives, I think, let's just let it go. When the time comes, Fan Dahui will invite someone to come over and arrange all the affairs. Xiaotao and Li Si can rest. If there are more people, we don't need us." Work hard."

Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "Wouldn't it cost a lot of money, the Alumni building is notoriously expensive."

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Let's not save this money."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Why don't you save it? I don't think it's necessary to invite the Alumni Building. We can use the saved money to buy some winter clothes and give them to the poor. As for the guests, we can let Solicit essays and they come to help receive it, there is no need to spend this money at all."

This woman is picky about herself, but she doesn't know how generous she is to the poor.

From now on, she can't let her manage the money, otherwise, she will definitely donate it. Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "That's how it is. Fan Da took the initiative to invite me to go. You know, he owes me a lot of favors, so he wants to use this to repay our favors. As for the money, we will give it to you. You can give it too."

Xu Zhiqian said with a serious expression: "Then it's even worse. It's a sum of money. You help him, not lend him money. You are an official now, so you can't just take money from others."

My God!

Zhang Fei was speechless.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, Xu Zun came in from the outside.

"Daddy"

Xu Zhiqian immediately walked over, holding Xu Zun's hand, "Zhang San wants to invite Baifanlou to host our wedding banquet."

It turned out to be in a complaining tone.

Zhang Fei was also drunk.

Xu Zun opened his eyes, "Alumni building please? How expensive is that, no need, no need, I'll find this man, so don't worry about it."

You guys, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle this big scene! Zhang Fei said: "But my son-in-law and Baifanlou have already negotiated, and Fan Da owes my son-in-law several favors. This time I am determined to help, and I can't even push it away."

"That's it!"

Xu Zun stroked his beard, "As a friend, it's okay to come to help, but it's only limited to come to help, and that boundary still cannot be crossed."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, my son-in-law will discuss it with Fan Da later."

Xu Zun looked at Zhang Fei with admiration in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Zhang San, you are well-known now, but you can no longer be as willful as before. You have to be more cautious and behave like everyone else."

"Everyone's demeanor?" Zhang Fei was terrified, "This son-in-law is absolutely impossible to do."

Xu Zun didn't care, he said, "Your reaction is exactly what I thought! Haha...!"

Xu Zhiqian said happily: "Father, do you think the imperial court will adopt Zhang San's legal system?"

Xu Zun nodded and said with a smile: "Nowadays, the public opinion is almost all in support of the legal system, and the officials and Fu Gong also support it. I think there will be no accidents in all likelihood."

"That's really great." Xu Zhiqian clenched her fists excitedly.

After Zhang Fei saw it, he sighed secretly, so in this family, I was the only one worrying about the wedding.

Loneliness arises spontaneously.

But I really don't blame Xu Zun's father and daughter. For the ancients, although this marriage is indeed a major event in life, generally speaking, it can be simple, but it can't be sloppy, but no matter how big it is, it can't be this kind of thing.

If your ideas are adopted by the imperial court, what kind of concept is this? Not many people have been able to do it throughout the ages.

Xu Zhiqian didn't have the mood to care about the wedding, she was really happy for Zhang Fei.

From the very beginning, she has had expectations for Zhang Fei, and now her expectations are being realized step by step, and she feels a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

As Xu Zun said, this public opinion has gradually weakened the opposition from the court.

At the same time, Fu Bi is also constantly doing ideological work with them, and telling them the ideas and rules of the Legislative Council. No one will act arbitrarily, which is different from Wang Jiefu. At the same time, this can also prevent the New Deal from competing for interests with the people.

At this time of year, the emperor will hold a general meeting, and then let the ministers wait for the holiday. After the meeting, they will be in a half-vacation state. After all, they have to take care of some old ministers. This kind of weather makes them come to work , is really terrible.

All the important officials in the court are here today, and they all know that the purpose of today's meeting is to rule by law.

Fu Bi was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the deputy superintendent Cao Dongdong of the police station recently made a memorial. After reading it, I think the memorial of the deputy superintendent Cao is very reasonable."

Zhao Xu was very surprised and said: "Cao Dongdong?"

Fu Bi nodded and said, "Exactly."

The rest of the ministers also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Cao Yanei?

Really?

Can he write memorials?

Everyone can't help but look at Cao Ping.

Cao Pingren was dumbfounded. Seeing everyone's point of view, he reacted and hurriedly said: "Fu Gong, could this be a mistake? I...why didn't I know about this?"

Fu Bi said with a chuckle: "Although I am old, I am not so mistaken."

Wen Yanbo jokingly said: "Superintendent Cao, it really is a general without a dog!"

Cao Ping panicked, you people are plotting against me, right? It's over, it's over...!

Zhao Xu really didn't know, and asked with interest: "I don't know what was written in Cao Dongdong's memorial?"

Fu Bi immediately said: "Deputy Superintendent Cao said that the law of the rule of law is nothing new, His Majesty has long had this intention, when His Majesty established the police station, it was to protect the rights and interests of the people."

Zhao Xu was dumbfounded.

Is that what I mean?

Why don't I know?

Ministers recall the establishment of the police station, all of which are painful memories!

Fu Bi immediately said again: "I believe that you should have some experience with this point. Since the establishment of the police station, it has been far superior to the previous Forbidden Army in all aspects. The police often take the initiative to protect and help the people. Whenever the common people have difficulties, they will take the initiative to seek help from the police, which is very different from the common people's attitude towards other government offices.

Moreover, most of the traffic regulations under the full authority of the police station are fines, and only serious perpetrators will be handed over to the procuratorate for prosecution. Isn't this what the rule of law advocates? "

"Yes, since the establishment of the police station, the traffic in this city has improved a lot."

"It's also a lot cleaner."

"Although thieves are still common, they are unavoidable. The police station is indeed impeccable."

......

Although there were painful memories when the police station was established, after that, everyone had nothing to say and could not find any faults.

Nowadays, literati and bureaucrats like these police officers very much. Ordinary people don't care about the cleanliness and tidiness of the streets, they are busy with their lives every day, but they are the only ones who care about the cleanliness and smoothness of the streets.

Must like it.

Fu Bi said again: "Deputy Superintendent Cao has always believed that the duty of their police is to help His Majesty protect the people, so he asks His Majesty to change the name of the police to the Royal Police;

It is also suggested that all the trial halls, including the Department of Records, be changed to the Royal Court, implying that this law is the law that His Majesty uses to protect his own people. "

After finishing speaking, he took out the memorial, "This is the memorial of Deputy Superintendent Cao, please read it through Your Majesty."

"Submit quickly."

Zhao Xu blushed, but said excitedly.

He was ashamed to praise him.

After the attendant presented it, Zhao Xu couldn't wait to open it and read it. His eyes flashed sharply.

When Cao Ping saw Zhao Xu's face, he couldn't help secretly annoyed, that stinky boy, he didn't let Lao Tzu do such a good thing, what did they want to do?

After reading it, Zhao Xu glanced around and searched around, "Is Deputy Superintendent Cao not there?"

The ministers looked at each other two by two.

Can he participate in this kind of meeting?

Zhao Xu also realized that his eating seemed a bit embarrassing, so he quickly restrained himself and asked, "What do you guys think?"

Fu Bi immediately said: "The minister agrees very much, and the success of the police station also shows the feasibility of the legal system. The original intention is to protect the people, and it can win the support of the people, so that the country can be better governed."

Hearing this, Wang Anshi couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, this move is really brilliant!

Many ministers also stood up and expressed their support.

In the past, everyone believed that there were no successful cases of the legal system, but just a kind of thought, but Cao Dongdong's memorial made people find that there is evidence to follow.

This is why Fu Bi is full of praise for this memorial.

Originally, the ministers already knew that this matter was unstoppable, so the ministers who had been opposing it before hurriedly took advantage of the **** to express their support.

However, to support Cao Dongdong's memorial is undoubtedly to support the idea of ​​law-based law to amend the law.

Zhao Xu nodded, and said again: "However, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have attached great importance to legislation, and I must also abide by the laws of my ancestors, prevent things and control them. Therefore, I decided to establish a Legislative Council , specializing in the law.”

Speaking, he explained the organizational process of the Legislative Council again, and hoped that Fu Bi could serve as the first legislator.

Ministers already knew the organization process of the Legislative Council in advance, which is also the key reason to persuade them to support the amendment. This will ensure that no one can act arbitrarily, and the power is still in the hands of officials. Now Zhao Xu said exactly the same as Fu Bi said .

They immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

Cao Ping was still in a dream, he never thought that it would be Cao Dongdong's memorial, the final word.
