Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 467: The return of the swallow

The Yan family! Rich! Wow... Is the relationship between Weng and son-in-law so clear in ancient times?

Zhang Fei couldn't help looking at Fu Bi in surprise, and thought again, yes! Yan Jidao is his brother-in-law, and he doesn't promote him.

Fu Bi suddenly asked: "I heard that many ministers in the DPRK and China recently recommended you to try the Suizhou case?"

Zhang Fei just nodded slightly and said: "The younger generation also heard about it a little bit, but they haven't received an official order, so they don't know much about it."

It is still in the stage of building momentum. Whether Zhang Fei will be sent there is not certain. If the emperor makes a decision immediately, then everyone will know that it is your emperor who is causing trouble.

For the time being, Zhao Xu didn't bother with them either.

Fu Bi's heart is like a mirror. He has seen too many routines like this, and asked again: "If the officials let you go, would you go?"

Zhang Fei feigned hesitation and said, "I dare not disobey the emperor's order."

Fu Bi said: "If you don't want to go, I can say a few words for you."

Is he testing me, or does he really think I can't do it? Zhang Fei had some doubts in his heart.

Fu Bi seemed to see what he was thinking, and said frankly: "At the beginning, I suggested to the officials to use the public prosecutor's law to eliminate the abuses of the salt administration. At that time, Sima Junshi suggested that you go, but afterward, the old man felt that if you really let me If you go, it may spoil the seedlings and encourage them to grow, which is not good for you."

Zhang Fei also asked directly: "Master Fu thinks that juniors can't do it?"

Fu Bi sighed: "The Northwest region is the top priority. There is no small matter there. It can be said that it affects the whole body. Although you are talented, you may not be able to think carefully, and it is easy to fall into the quagmire." .Officials who hold important positions over there are not free from mistakes, but it is not necessarily that they have made mistakes in their administration, but what they see is different from what the court thinks. You are so young and you have made many enemies in the court , if you go there, it must be extremely dangerous, not in the local area, but in the court."

Politics is like this. You do a good job in the local area, but it doesn't necessarily mean meritorious service, and you may also make mistakes.

For example, Fan Xiang, Xue Xiang, etc., they are all very capable officials. They are impeached all day long. If they make a mistake, they may be dismissed from office. Maybe he can get promoted.

In the officialdom, most people don't seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.

Only fools like Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi would go to the fire with moths.

Of course, he said this to Zhang Fei because he is very optimistic about Zhang Fei, but he still supports Zhang Fei to go to the south of the Yangtze River first. To cover everything.

Hearing his sincere tone, Zhang Fei didn't seem to be testing himself. He also knew that he must have guessed that the emperor planned to send him to the northwest to build a public security law, so he didn't hide it, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your guidance." , I also know that going there must be dangerous, if I were asked to govern, I would not dare to go, but if I am asked to build public security, I am still somewhat sure."

Fu Bi asked: "If national interests conflict with the law, how would you make a decision?"

Zhang Fei said: "Of course the national interest comes first."

Fu Bi was stunned, and said: "If that's the case, how can you build a good public security law?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The first point of the legal system is to defend the interests of the country and the monarch. As long as you make good use of this, I believe there is a chance to succeed, because they must use this to deal with me. .”

Fu Bi nodded slightly when he heard that, yes, he is different from the stern and selfless officials like Bao Xianggong and Zhao Xianggong back then, he knows how to be flexible and play tricks. Said: "So, you are fully prepared."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Mr. Fu, there is no way to prepare for this matter. If I am really allowed to go, I plan to take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, I will get out as soon as possible. I will never be arrogant , I’m still young anyway, success is a miracle, and failure is a matter of course.”

Fu Bi laughed when he heard that, "I feel relieved if you think so."

After a pause, he said again: "To tell you the truth, I just don't agree with you going to the Northwest, but if you go to other places, I still agree. I'll see how you judge it. It can also inspire us to practice the law."

Zhang Fei didn't understand, so he asked, "Have you encountered any problems in the cultivation of the law?"

Fu Bi said with emotion: "Knowledge is easier than practice! Every time I listen to your lectures, I always feel enlightened and hopeful, but when I use it, I always feel that it is difficult to master it. This practice is a long way. I estimate that it will take several years."

"That's it...!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning.

Fu Bi said: "What? Are you planning to bring the new law with you?"

"No."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I originally thought that if I wanted to go, I would choose a few students to go with me. Fu Gong also knows that with my background and age, only a few students can hold me. Those few students."

Fu Bi hurriedly said: "It's okay, you can choose as you please, alas...Actually, they are still too young, and they can't help much in cultivating the law. The ones who are really cultivating are me and Kuan Fu , Junshi and the others, they can only ask questions.”

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know who Fugong thinks are those students, who can go with me?" Zhang Fei asked again.

Fu Bi thought for a while, "Both Cai Bian and Shangguan are the most suitable. Although Ye Zuqia is talented, he is rather arrogant. Taking him there may cause you trouble. Cai Jing is thoughtful, but He is too smooth and good at opportunistic, his mind is not in the judiciary, but in his official career."

Zhang Fei said thoughtfully: "This is a good candidate."

Fu Bi frowned and said, "What did you say?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, first glanced at Fu Bi awkwardly, and then he said: "Going to the northwest, you still have to know how to be flexible. If I am surrounded by a group of rigid people, this matter will not be easy to handle." If these four people are really going with me, Cai Jing may be the one who will cause me the least trouble, after all, he is very nervous about his official career."

Fu Bi said: "But it may also betray you because of this."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Anyone has the possibility. Some people are for justice, and some are for official career. This cannot be prevented."

Fu Bi stroked his beard and asked suddenly: "Then what if Xu Zhongtu betrayed you?"

"My father-in-law?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

Fu Bi nodded and said again: "Suppose your father-in-law supports Wang Jiefu and you support Sima Junshi, what would you do?"

Wow... how to talk about such a complicated issue. Zhang Fei was sweating a little and said: "I really haven't thought about it, but I rarely talk about this business with my father-in-law. Even if this happens, I don't think it will affect our family relationship."

"It's easier said than done!" A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Fu Bi's mouth.

At this moment, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, and Lu Gongzhu came over.

"Fu Gong."

"You are here too."

Fu Bi glanced at the three of them in surprise.

Wen Yanbo hehe said: "I'm curious, so I came to see it."

Zhang Fei hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Boy Zhang San has met Wen Gong, Ji Xiang, Sima Bachelor."

Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu nodded slightly, while Sima Guang turned his face to one side.

Mr. Lu glanced at Sima Guang, then smiled at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang San, I didn't expect you to have such a high reputation in the court, and the civil and military courts all favor you!"

Zhang Fei smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before the Northwest officials will favor me and recommend me to return to the court as prime minister."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, and Fu Bi couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed.

The corner of Sima Guang's mouth twitched, he was holding back his smile.

It happened to be about the same time, so the group of people went inside. Zhang Fei deliberately stayed beside Sima Guang, and whispered: "Scholar Sima, this matter has nothing to do with me, I have not betrayed you." /

Sima Guang deliberately slowed down, humming softly: "If you don't tell, who will know?"

Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu and the others also noticed it, but they pretended not to see it and walked straight inside.

"Official!"

Zhang Fei said.

"Official?"

Sima Guang frowned slightly.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Scholar Sima didn't know something, and the officials also noticed this, and the officials seemed to have planned to let me go to the Northwest to build a public security law, and at the same time hoped that I would be able to do this for nothing. so that he can concentrate on fighting the enemy on the border.”

Sima Guang said in panic, "Isn't he going to sacrifice Lu Shen?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! Please rest assured, Sima."

Sima Guang nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Fei again, and sighed: "Actually, I can't blame you for this matter. It was I who recommended you to go to the northwest, and I was the one who took the eucalyptus to find you. You have to go, but you have to be careful in everything!"

Zhang Fei chuckled, "I'll tell you the truth about Bachelor Sima, I'm most worried about Bachelor Sima."

Sima Guang rolled his eyes and said, "Are you still worried about me?"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, the judicial reform is in your hands. If something happens to you, then...then I will be finished! This tree fell and the monkeys scattered, you are my towering tree!"

"Stop flattering!" Sima Guang waved his sleeves, and said again: "What can happen to me?"

Zhang Fei said: "This... um... how to say...."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Sima Guang hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "Wait a minute! Tell me clearly, aren't you worried that I will lose to Wang Jiefu?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean. I'm afraid that Sima and Wang will compete for the top, so I will quit."

"Put down the stall?" Sima Guang blew his beard and stared, "Is this the old man?"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, calm down and listen to me."

"You said it!"

Sima Guang said: "I really want to know why you think so."

True! Seriously!

Zhang Fei said in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that Bachelor Sima will pay too much attention to Wang Xueshi's New Deal and ignore the judicial reform, but in fact the significance of judicial reform is more important than the New Deal. Besides, many officials in the court are also afraid of it. This judicial reform, when the time comes, Bachelor Sima will be inattentive, follow the path of the villain, and ignore the basics, so that the judicial reform will fail."

Sima Guang said: "Don't worry, how could I do such a mess."

Zhang Fei said: "Then if Scholar Wang wants to compete with the people and plunder their wealth, what will Scholar Sima do?"

Sima Guang said: "Of course I won't let him succeed."

Zhang Fei asked again: "If the officials support Bachelor Wang and don't listen to Bachelor Sima at all, how should Bachelor Sima respond?"

Sima Guang said: "Since the officials don't trust me, then I...!"

Zhang Fei asked: "What?"

Sima Guang blinked, and said with little confidence: "Could it be that you let the old man let Wang Jiefu mess around."

Zhang Fei said: "That's what I'm worried about. I worked my life in the Northwest, but the judicial reform is gone. Am I just messing around? And I might be implicated in it too!"

He is really worried about this. For the past one or two years, he has acted as the lubricating oil between Wang and Sima, and borrowed Zhao Xu's trust to try his best to maintain this unbreakable situation. What is most beneficial to him is that if one family dominates, the judicial construction will be difficult to build.

He was afraid that if he pulled back, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi immediately started fighting.

Sima Guang was silent for a while, and suddenly felt that Zhang Fei's worry seemed to be justified. If he put down the stall, he would be selling him, and suddenly said: "Okay! I promise you, no matter what, I will keep this judicial reform." of."

Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I can rest assured."

Seeing his expression, Sima Guang felt uncomfortable, and refused to accept, "Why do you want Wang Jiefu to talk to him so that he will not compete with the people for profit."

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Wang is so stubborn, can I persuade you?"

Sima Guang nodded and said: "Yes! If he can persuade him, he won't be Wang Jiefu. You come to the old man and say, it's right, okay, before you return to the court, the old man will stay away from you." /

Wow... how much better are you than him? Not a single virtue, I came to you just because I know that if there is a fight, it will be you, not him. Zhang Fei disagreed: "This is really a wrong for Bachelor Sima."

Sima Guang said: "Then you have to do something."

"Definitely, definitely!"

After the chat, the two of them entered the building, which was already full of people, but surprisingly, the first and second floors were full of gray-haired scholar-bureaucrats, and those young people were all driven away. Went to the third floor, the old man didn't want to climb the stairs.

In the field of Ci in the Northern Song Dynasty, this Yan Shu is definitely a existence like the Big Dipper of Mount Tai. From the ancients to the young with weak crowns, everyone adores his Ci.

It's really top class nowadays.

Coupled with the appearance of drama, it attracted another wave of traffic.

I saw Fu Bi standing in front leaning on crutches. Sima Guang and Zhang Fei walked over and glanced sideways, but Fu Bi raised his head and stared blankly at the top, his cloudy eyes were slightly moist.

Follow his gaze and look up.

But I saw two red silks falling straight down from the third floor, but I saw that it said:

A new song with a glass of wine, last year's weather was old. When does the sun go down?

Reluctantly, the flowers fall, and the familiar Yan returns. The fragrant path in the small garden wanders back alone.
