Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 253: Return to the main theme

The dust fell to the ground.

Zhao Xu had a golden mouth, and the tenant's revision of the law was basically regarded as dust.

What everyone was worried about before was Zhao Xu's attitude.

If it was just Xu Zunkou saying hello, then most people would not take it to heart, but at this moment, it is very sensitive.

Did Zhao Xu ask Xu Zun to say that?

That's the key.

Everyone is making such a fuss and yelling, in fact, they hope to attract Zhao Xu to express his opinion.

It never occurred to me that Zhao Xuhui would not be called out after so many calls, and a tabloid would seduce Zhao Xu out.

And Zhao Xu's attitude is also very clear, the court will not do this.

Everyone is relieved.

Where did they expect that there are actually two triangle relationships hidden in it.

Zhang Fei, Xu Zun and Sima Guang form a triangle.

Zhang Fei, Xu Zun, and Zhao Xu are another triangle.

What Sima Guang wanted was that the promulgation of this regulation would not cause too many obstacles.

And Zhao Xu's picture is this tabloid, which is the right of public opinion in the future.

Because Zhao Xu also discovered from that lawsuit how important the right to public opinion is.

The tenant incident caused public grievances, which were actually dominated by public opinion.

Yes, the imperial court was not clean, but the landlord was definitely not a white lotus, but the imperial court was in an extremely unfavorable situation at that time, the landlord was obviously unkind, but he was able to gain an advantage in public opinion.

In Beijing, it can be reversed through a lawsuit.

But what about places?

The minister's mouth is the emperor's mouth, and the minister's eyes are the emperor's eyes.

This made Zhao Xu feel restrained.

The Song Dynasty did not cultivate the soil of Dongchang and Xichang. Because of the chaos of eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty, the emperor of Song Dynasty was very wary of eunuchs, and the ancestral law of Song Dynasty also made it difficult for eunuchs to monopolize power. Eunuch Tong Guan, in fact, was like that. At that time, the real power was in the hands of the government and the people, and it was Prime Minister Cai Jing who played tricks.

This led Zhao Xu to think that he had to have a special mouthpiece among the people to speak out for himself, and he couldn't completely rely on ministers. Of course, he didn't think about relying on eunuchs in the past.

The tabloid strategy provided by Zhang Fei satisfies Zhao Xu's ambition very well.

However, no one expected that after this set of procedures, the tabloid was born.

After the meeting ended, they were very pleasantly surprised. They believed that the tabloids caused a sensation, which attracted the attention of the emperor, and this meeting happened.

This tabloid is just a stroke of genius.

The key is that Sima Guang strategized and won by surprise.

The ministers gave another rainbow fart to Sima Guang.

The article is well written.

This article will solve everyone's worries, isn't it okay?

Sima Guang, the head of the conservative faction, became even stronger because of this.

Sima Guang also didn't notice the tacit understanding between Zhao Xu and Zhang Fei, because he is also a little guilty now, and there is something tricky about it.

He really wanted to turn the page, so he went back to the Inquisition Court and held a meeting immediately to continue discussing the amendment of the tenant law, and hoped for a quick decision.

He thinks the time is ripe for such a disturbance.

This matter is so violent, if those big landlords still threaten the imperial court by dismissing their tenant farmers, it will really slap their scholar-bureaucrats in the face, and at the same time prove that Xu Zun is right.

There is no need for Sima Guang to step in, those scholar-bureaucrats will stop it.

The imperial court has predicted your actions, so you still do this, aren't you stupid?

Although Sima Guang wants to keep a low profile, this has already aroused the attention and vigilance of the reformers.

"Master, this matter is by no means that simple."

When Lu Huiqing learned of the emperor's attitude, she was very worried, "Scholar Sima's article is full of selfishness, but now his article is highly respected, it can confuse people's hearts, and must be stopped. Otherwise, it will be bad for our new law!"

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "I've thought of that too, what countermeasures do you have?"

Lu Huiqing said: "My mentor, why don't you also write an article advocating the concept of the new law, and then let Zhang San help your mentor to print it."

Wang Anshi stroked his beard and shook his head: "But I can't."

Lu Huiqing was taken aback, "Why?"

Wang Anshi said: "No matter what Zhang San said, he is a businessman after all. Reform is a major national event, so how can it be controlled in the hands of businessmen? Articles must be written, but they should not be published in tabloids, but should be published in the imperial court. Report to the mansion."

After a pause, he continued: "And I heard that Zhang San's tabloid sells for tens of pennies a piece. If Di Bao can be so popular, it can also increase income for the country, killing two birds with one stone."

He is really amazing. He doesn't even care about his family's financial situation, but when he thinks about the country, he really thinks about it very carefully. He even thought of selling newspapers to make money.

Of course, this also reveals his ruling philosophy that the country should control everything, including public opinion.

Lu Huiqing frowned and said: "But the residence newspaper has to pass through multiple inspections, and I'm afraid it's too late."

Wang Anshi said: "I will invite the officials to let my article pass quickly."

For Wang Anshi and the others, the first consideration must be political influence, but for businessmen, the first consideration is profit.

This tabloid is so popular that we cannot live without it, so that afternoon, people from various restaurants came to Zhang Fei and asked to sell them a few more copies. Find out if there is anything new tomorrow.

Office.

"Zhiqian, get out of the way, I'm going to see a guest."

"No."

Xu Zhiqian blocked in front of the door: "Unless you promise me, the remaining two issues will not be released."

Zhang Fei said: "How can it be done? If it is printed and not distributed, isn't that a waste of money?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I wrote this article, and I have the right not to publish it. You are piracy. As Erbi, you can't break the law."

Hey! Between husband and wife, who will teach you the Fa. Zhang Fei stepped forward, picked up Xu Zhiqian, and carried it on his shoulders. Although this woman was tall, she was as light as a cat.

"Ah! What are you doing, put me down quickly."

"Let you down? This is really a tiger that doesn't show its power. You treat me like a sick cat."

"Crack!"

Zhang Fei slapped Xu Zhiqian's upturned tun, a light flashed in his eyes, ouch, this feels good, it's really flexible.

Xu Zhiqian was dumbfounded, but no one had ever treated her like this before, and she immediately blew up, "Zhang San, you are an apprentice, I can't spare you."

When speaking harshly, his hands and feet kept flapping.

Zhang Fei raised his foot to hook the door and closed it.

"What are you doing?"

After a stick of incense.

Xu Zhiqian sat on Zhang Fei's lap, put her hands on his chest, her cheeks were flushed, and she panted delicately, "Okay, can we make sense?"

Zhang Fei snorted: "Whoever is reasoning with you, don't."

"You."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But if you do this, it will really embarrass me. This name does not match the truth. Just what I did, why should I report it and let everyone in the literary world comment? It will only make people laugh. .”

Zhang Fei explained: "Zhiqian, don't forget why I made this tabloid in the first place, this is an excellent opportunity, I can't miss it for nothing.

Besides, don't think too highly of yourself. I never thought of pushing your article to Fugong and Han Xianggong. It won't affect anything, just to add a little entertainment to everyone. "

Xu Zhiqian said: "But everyone outside is talking about my article and that of Bachelor Sima."

Zhang Fei said earnestly, "It's just a coincidence. If the two newspapers are published together, it will certainly cause discussion. Tomorrow, only yours will be published. This phenomenon will not happen."

Xu Zhiqian shook her head to herself and said, "No, I'm getting flustered just thinking about it."

She just wanted to help Xu Zun in advance, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this, it's too exaggerated.

Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said: "Well, let's say this is what I mean. You are just a ghostwriter. Anyway, everyone knows that we have always been husband and wife, and you are the ghostwriter of my pleadings."

"Who will follow your husband and wife." Xu Zhiqian spat, "Aren't you afraid of shame?"

Zhang Fei said: "I am the man who wrote 'I can't be ecstasy, the wind is blowing in the west, and people are thinner than yellow flowers'."

"Copied!"

"You."

Zhang Fei patted her tun lightly, "Okay, okay, I can copy it, so you can always let me go."

Xu Zhiqian glared at him, "It seems that you won't let me go."

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and let go of her arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help it."

Xu Zhiqian stood up, tidied up a little, and then said: "You have to make it clear, I'm just a ghostwriter."

"Be sure to make it clear."

"And."

"What else?"

"Don't be allowed to fight again in the future!"

Speaking of the latter, Xu Zhiqian blushed.

Zhang Fei saw that she was so pretty, and really didn't want to go out to work, so he suddenly pulled her over, and kissed her **** her delicate red lips, "I don't want to hit her, just touch it."

Speaking, his big hand squeezed it lightly again.

Then ran out the door.

"Ah! You disciple, die!"

When he came to the lobby, Zhang Fei personally negotiated with Fan Zheng and other shopkeepers of various restaurants to meet their needs one by one, and printed some articles by Sima University to supplement them. At the same time, in the next two days, a second Issue, the content of the third issue to them.

The price remains the same.

Fan Zheng and the others were quite satisfied with this.

They are not too willing to subscribe for a month. This tabloid is selling well, but it just happened to be on the cusp of this storm. Who knows if it will attract customers once the popularity is over!

After this wave of enthusiasm, it's almost the same.

They also only looked at the surface, and they didn't know that Sima Guang's article was selling well, which was not good news for the reformers, and this matter was definitely not over.

As the head of the reform school, Wang Anshi is also very talented, and there are very few articles in history that can be compared with his articles.

From this point of view, Sima Guang launched an attack, and it was impossible for Wang Anshi to remain indifferent.

The advantage is mine.

In the afternoon of that day, he wrote an article. On the surface, it was about current affairs, but in fact it was a propaganda of the labor law and the equalization law.

In the evening, Zhao Xu asked him to discuss something, and he showed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu couldn't put it down, every sentence hit the point, the analysis was very thorough, and there was not a single redundant word, after reading the article, it was so enjoyable, I really praised it from the bottom of my heart: "Mr. Guan Zhong and Han's healing power can only be compared."

Guan Zhong is a genius in governing the country, but his literary talents are not as good as yours. Han Yu's articles are well written, but he is not as good as you in governing the country.

That's a really high rating.

Wang Anshi is also very determined to win or lose, so he asked cheekily: "Compared to Sima Junshi's article, how is it?"

In the main hall, you praised Sima Guang so much, that's right, we always taste good, we are confidants.

Zhao Xu was taken aback, and said: "Although Bachelor Sima is also talented, he is still a little inferior compared to Mr.."

Reasonable!

Wang Anshi was satisfied with this, so he said: "To tell the truth, Your Majesty, in fact, I have to compete with Sima Junshi. I wrote this article mainly to publicize my new law."

Zhao Xu understood as soon as he heard it, and he also saw that Sima Guang's article contained a lot of private goods, so he said, "Mr., do you want to print this article on a tabloid?"

Wang Anshi said: "I want to post it on the residence newspaper."

Zhao Xu was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty has decided to reform the law. The new law naturally represents the imperial court, and it is more appropriate to publish it in the residence newspaper."

Sima Guang's article only represents him personally, and I represent the imperial court, which is different.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Just follow what Mr. said."

Wang Anshi looked happy, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu suddenly asked: "By the way, today I came here to discuss with you about the candidates for Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion."

Wang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. The tax department did not communicate with him. Still support him as always.

However, he really didn't think about it before. At that time, he thought that Zhao Xu had other plans. He thought for a while, "I think Zeng Zigu is qualified for this position."

There were really no mediocrities in this period. Zeng Zigu was Zeng Gong, who was also one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. He once had a literary friendship with Wang Anshi. The friendship between the two was very good.

Historically, Duke Lu fell to Sima Guang later, but Zeng Gong was quite supportive of Wang Anshi. The key point is that Zeng Gong is not only talented, but also very capable.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently: "Although Mr. Zeng's qualifications may be a little lacking, he has served as a judicial officer many times and joined the army. Good candidate."

Zeng Gong is still serving as a general judge in Yuezhou, and has not been a local prefect. Logically speaking, he cannot be promoted directly to Kaifeng Prefecture, but now that justice is upheld, it has become more and more critical.

Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion must be very proficient in the law.

Zeng Gong's attainments in the law are well-known, based on this, Zhao Xu thinks this candidate is good.

Of course, he mainly used this to appease Wang Anshi and prove that I still support you.

He was also afraid that Wang Anshi would be misunderstood by the tax department.
