Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 178: Overkill
Zhang Fei's brain circuit really confused Wang Anshi.
At first glance, it seems quite reasonable.
If you do tax calculations, it will hinder the government from collecting taxes. No matter whether you are right or not, the government will certainly not let you do anything wrong. This is money, this is meat, and the emperor is the biggest beneficiary, so naturally it is not easy to say more What.
In that case, then I will admit that I am cowardly. I will serve as a lackey for the imperial court, and I will help the imperial court collect taxes.
This is definitely reformed.
Is there anyone more sensible than this.
But if you think about it carefully, what is this?
Thanks to Zhang Fei, he still went to help the farmers to calculate taxes. If he went to check the taxes of the big landlords, then this matter would be discussed.
Wang Anshi glared at him, and said angrily and funnyly: "Are you rehabilitating yourself? You are going to make things worse. Are they really punishing you for those few taxes? They are just worried that you will hurt them rights and interests? Do you not understand such a simple truth?"
But as he said that, he suddenly realized that this kid didn't understand, but he thought too clearly, "Are you planning to take revenge on them?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
He originally planned to go around, but it turned out that he couldn't go around, so he had to be tough.
What else?
This is exactly what Wang Anshi was worried about, and he sighed: "You should settle down and talk about it later."
Zhang Fei doesn't think so, "Everything has pros and cons. As long as we can make good use of this opportunity, we can turn the situation around. If we pass the threshold of tax collection, then why is there any reason to check the tax?"
Wang Anshi asked: "Why do you check their taxes with an ear pen?"
Zhang Fei said: "As long as I can go to court, I can investigate."
Wang Anshi said earnestly: "They will not give you this chance. When discussing this matter two days ago, what they said was not reason, but tax money."
Zhang Fei said: "That's because I'm really obstructing the court's collection of taxes. I help the court collect taxes. What reason can the court object?"
Wang Anshi saw that this kid was stubborn, so he said straightforwardly: "But the question is how did you make trouble in court?"
Xu Zun can't help with this matter, only Wang Anshi, but he doesn't dare to act rashly, he has his reform plan, how could he follow Zhang Fei to mess around.
Although he has cooperated with Zhang Fei a lot, it is important to distinguish between the main and the secondary. He is the protagonist, and his reforms are the main line. Zhang Fei is only assisting him to get some benefits. One shot, one shot to the west, how could this be possible!
Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and said: "We can rely on Bachelor Sima to bring this matter to court."
Wang Anshi was stunned, and coughed: "It is impossible for Sima Jun to help you."
But there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Zhang Fei said: "But not necessarily."
Wang Anshi suddenly became interested and said, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "We can use the judicial reform of Sima University to force Sima University to support us."
Wang Anshi was a little confused, "What is the relationship between these two things?"
Zhang Fei said: "One of the most important thoughts in the judicial reform of Sima University is the separation of politics and law."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "I know that."
Zhang Fei continued: "But the power of judging is still in the hands of the magistrate. Even if there is a decree, it is impossible for those councils to obtain these powers lying down. There must be some competition.
Now that Sima University has proposed the separation of politics and law, we can use this to stir up conflicts between the Sisi Yuan and the government, and then benefit from it. "
Wang Anshi thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. For a long time, the Si Li Yuan and the county government have had a close relationship. It may not be so easy to try to provoke them. The key point is that the Si Li Yuan is also on their side. Yes!"
Not only that, but the officials of the Council of Governors also had a close relationship with the landlord class.
Zhang Fei said: "But in the face of power, all relationships will become worthless. Once the separation of politics and law, the Supreme Council will control the tax law, and the prefectures and counties will control the tax power. Once we define this lawsuit as a tax law They will definitely try their best to fight for the dispute over taxation rights, because if the Council of Governors cannot control part of the finances, it will be subject to the constraints of the prefectures and counties, without financial support, there is no mutual checks and balances."
Wang Anshi's expression gradually became hesitant, and he said, "What do you mean, you want to file this lawsuit in the Sili Yuan?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Suppose the county government refuses to accept the case, but the Sili Yuan demands to file a lawsuit, which will turn into a political-legal dispute, and I can finish this lawsuit as I wish. Go to court."
Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.
Good boy.
Your trick is really vicious!
In fact, Zhang Fei has also learned a lesson, so Xu Zun also audited the land tax, why Xu Zun was fine, but he almost fell, the reason is that he is just a troublemaker, the government cannot be controlled by the people, but the government Fighting with officials is essentially another matter.
If this can be done, the biggest winner will not be him, but the courts such as Si Li Yuan and Zuo Xiang Gong.
For Zhang Fei, this is not a game of snipe and clam, but a game of cat and mouse.
Wang Anshi thought for a while and asked, "Can you convince the Sisi Yuan to support you?"
"Of course not."
Zhang Fei said.
Wang Anshi was stunned, "Can't you say something?"
Zhang Fei replied: "If I can, what else can I say."
Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
Zhang Fei said: "Currently, Sima University has not yet started to reform. No one is in charge of it. The power is in the hands of the prefecture and county. Who dares to be the first bird unless......."
Wang Anshi suddenly realized, "You asked me to support you."
Zhang Fei nodded, thinking, if I can handle it, then why should I tell you why, I will do it myself.
It is easy to say to stir up conflicts between the Sili Yuan and the county government, but it is very difficult to do. They are still in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they wear a pair of trousers. They will give you an ear pen , to take such a big risk?
How can you guarantee that this will cause trouble.
Unless someone above supports it.
But Wang Anshi has his own plan, he doesn't want to take this risk, this is not appealing for the common people, he can justify his own reform and provide reasons to support his own reform, this is a political conspiracy, get involved, But it may not come out.
So what if the key wins?
Has nothing to do with him.
Zhang Fei sneaked a glance at Wang Anshi, knowing that this was not enough to impress Wang Anshi. So he said: "Does Bachelor Wang know why Bachelor Sima wanted to reform the judiciary?"
Wang Anshi was slightly taken aback, and snorted: "Of course it is to check and balance me, but Wang Jiefu is upright, he uses the law to check and balance me, I am not afraid."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Does Grand Master Wang know who is behind Bachelor Sima supporting him?"
Wang Anshi was silent for a while, and said: "The reason why those big landlords support Sima Junshi is also to deal with me."
Zhang Fei continued to ask: "Then if this fight is provoked, will it be beneficial to Sima University or not?"
"Of course...!"
Wang Anshi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to himself, "That's right! On the surface, it seems that the Siliyuan wants to seize power, which is beneficial to Sima Junshi's judicial reform, but it will offend those big landlords."
As he spoke, he laughed, "So, Sima Jun is really in a dilemma! I'm also curious, how he will choose then."
Zhang Fei said: "As for Grand Scholar Wang, he only needs to find one person to pull up the banner of justice. Even if he loses, it will have no effect on Grand Scholar Wang. Anyway, I will charge forward."
Wang Anshi glanced at Zhang Fei, "Are you so kind?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I also have a request."
Wang Anshi asked: "What request?"
Zhang Fei said: "I want to fight this lawsuit in Kaifeng County, so the person sought by University Scholar Wang must be from Kaifeng County, not from Kaifeng Prefecture."
Wang Anshi pondered for a while, and said: "I understand, are you going to take revenge on Wangzhi County?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I want to ruin his reputation."
Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Is this really worth it?"
"It's worth it."
Zhang Fei said very resolutely: "In fact, Lv Zhifu and Li Tongpan have also made things difficult for me, but they at least stand on the side of fairness and justice, but the Wang Zhixian did not treat us as human beings, he arrested people Yes, but why does he use torture because he helps the court collect taxes? What kind of **** is this? If I don’t report this hatred, I may be punished at any time when I go to court in the future.”
It's like domestic violence. After the first fight, there will definitely be a second one. He must fight this kind of behavior to the end. You beat me by playing tricks, then I admit it, but you tried to beat me If you are convinced, it is absolutely impossible to admit cowardice, because Zhang Fei knows very well in his heart that as long as he is convinced, he will be beaten every day.
Wang Anshi suddenly asked: "Does this person surnamed Wang have a deep hatred against you?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "No! Why did Grand Master Wang ask such a question?"
Wang Anshi said: "The last one was Wang Wenshan, and now it's Wang Hong's turn. The next one...hehe, my surname is Wang too!"
Zhang Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "Scholar Wang, this is really a coincidence, I promise, this is the last time, next time I see someone surnamed Wang, I will go around."
"You're right, the last time." Wang Anshi laughed, but then said seriously: "This matter is very important, I have to go back and think about it."
Zhang Fei nodded.
"Okay, I'll go first."
"I'll send you the Grand Master Wang."
"No need!"
Wang Anshi waved his hand, got up and left the private room, his expression was erratic, he smiled secretly, Junshi, Junshi, you can't blame me for being cruel, I'm just an accomplice, the mastermind is Zhang San's ear pen. This time I had fun watching it. Ha ha......!
Standing in the hall, Zhang Fei looked at Wang Anshi's brisk steps, and knew that this matter was a sure thing. Based on the grievances between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, Wang Anshi would probably join this game.
But Zhang Fei was frowning. He thought to himself, I can't just throw Sima Guang away for revenge. Sima Guang, stabbed himself.
