Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 258: Killed in the cradle

Chapter 258 Killed in the cradle

As for Su Shi's suggestion, Zhang Fei only accepted it passively, just like his previous actions, all of them were passive.

He never took the initiative to court the tabloids, although he was well prepared for it.

The matter originally stemmed from a leak, and Zhang Fei initially chose to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, but Kaifeng Mansion refused to accept it.

After Xu Zun's matter was resolved, Zhang Fei became very low-key. It was Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Su Shi who came to him on their own initiative, rather than him pursuing it.

But all of this was secretly planned by him.

This is a conspiracy.

The reason why Zhang Fei behaved very low-key was because he knew that in the feudal era, public opinion was a very sensitive issue.

That's why he took Shenzong to play with him beforehand, and if Shenzong didn't want to play, he wouldn't dare to play.

However, in this era, many people have vision beyond the age.

Wang Anshi is one of them.

Authentic bookstore.

"What happened?"

Looking at the seven or eight government servants in Kaifeng, Zhang Fei asked suspiciously.

The leading clerk said: "We came here on orders. Your workshop will temporarily stop all printing activities, and you are not allowed to sell any tabloids."

Zhang Fei asked: "I don't know what law we have violated?"

The Yacha said: "We don't know about this, we just follow orders."

Zhang Fei nodded, at this moment, he finally understood why Wang Anshi didn't look for him.

Hou Donglai was completely depressed, and he was about to make a fortune, but the splashing water was poured down!

He quickly pulled Zhang Fei aside, "Sanlang, what should we do?"

Zhang Fei said: "Do your best to cooperate with the government, what else can you do?"

Hou Donglai hurriedly said: "We have to think about the way forward. If the government doesn't allow us to print, what should we do?"

"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Fei shrugged, "Now these officials don't know what's going on, and what can I do."

Hou Donglai and a group of craftsmen can only comfort themselves with the fact that good things take time.

For Zhang Fei, this is not surprising.

As soon as she got home, Xu Zhiqian greeted her.

"I heard that the Kaifeng government sent people to seal the genuine bookstore?"

"Yeah."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian asked: "Who gave the order?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet." In fact, he knew in his heart that it must be Wang Anshi.

The only people who can order the Kaifeng Mansion are those who are in charge of political affairs, and among those who are in charge of political affairs, there are currently two factions, and Sima Guang's faction is definitely impossible.

Even if Sima Guang is aware of this problem, he will communicate with Zhang Fei first, and will not give an order directly.

It must be Wang Anshi.

Xu Zhiqian sighed softly: "Just say that this matter is not so easy, it is still blocked."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I never said it was easy, but..."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "But what?"

Zhang Fei smiled deeply: "It's easy now."

He guessed right, it was Wang Anshi who ordered the closure of his genuine bookstore, but Wang Anshi was not targeting Zhang Fei, he was just targeting the tabloid.

Judging from the distribution of this tabloid, he has already expected how much trouble this tabloid will bring him when his new law is promulgated.

Because he knows that those who have the ability to publish tabloids are the ones he wants to target.

At that time, the power of public opinion will still be controlled by them, and it will be very troublesome.

And Wang Anshi acted vigorously and resolutely, he did what he said, and he would not drag his feet. This is the biggest difference between him and Sima Guang.

But this action immediately caused the impeachment of the court officials and admonishers.

Even Wen Yanbo, Zhao Bian, Lu Gongzhu and others were shocked.

They are still immersed in the competition of articles, and it just so happens that Wang Anshi is currently at a disadvantage.

You can't afford to lose. You can't compare with the article, so you blocked the store.

What is this called?

The opposition roared like a stormy sea.

The whole imperial city is fried.

Even the reformists feel very incomprehensible to Wang Anshi's behavior.

There is no need to do this.

What a shame!

Zhao Xu had to come out to calm the storm.

Changing arch shop.

"Wang Jiefu, why did you seal up the genuine bookstore? The behavior of the genuine bookstore is not illegal."

Sima Guang blamed Wang Anshi angrily.

Zhao Xu also looked at Wang Anshi curiously. He originally wanted to use the tabloid to help Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi slapped him, and Zhao Xu was a little dizzy.

Wang Anshi said: "I didn't order genuine bookstores to be shut down, I just told them not to print tabloids first?"

Wen Yanbo said: "What's the difference?"

Wang Anshi said solemnly: "Everyone, don't forget that this turmoil originated from the tabloids. If the tabloids hadn't leaked the secrets of the court, how could there be such a crisis.

Not only did the imperial court not strictly investigate this matter to prevent such a situation from happening again, but they were always happy to promote tabloids. Isn't this fueling the evil trend? "

Sima Guang frowned when he heard this.

Fan Chunren suddenly stood up and said: "Leaving the secrets of the court, of course we need to investigate, but it has nothing to do with the tabloids."

Wang Anshi said: "But without tabloids, it will not cause such a big disturbance. The court can control it as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

Everyone should know how the Mansion Newspaper is published. Words and sentences must be carefully considered, and after repeated inspections by the Privy Councilor and the Zhongshumen, it can only be released to the outside world after it is confirmed to be correct.

Everyone should know why this is the case.

The incident of Xu Temple just illustrates this point. Now everyone knows that the incident of Xu Temple was just mentioned casually during the discussion, but after being played up by the tabloids, it immediately became such a big crisis. "

Fan Chunren said: "But the mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan. It cannot be prevented."

"I am not talking about defending the people, I want to ensure the stability of the country."

Wang Anshi said: "Let me tell you what will happen if the tabloids are not strictly controlled. The state prints the mansion newspaper, which is needed for government affairs, and the purpose of private printing tabloids is to make money. How can they earn money?" To make money, the content must attract attention.

For this reason, businessmen will inevitably exaggerate the facts and make alarmist talk. Maybe a small defeat on the front line will turn into tabloids, and the enemy has already approached Bianliang. Caused panic, the court couldn't argue, what should I do? "

When these words were spoken, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others were all lost in thought.

They also gradually came to their senses, this really seems to be a bit too much.

Wang Anshi continued: "I'm not saying that the genuine bookstore is guilty, and I didn't say that the genuine bookstore should be shut down. It’s not like the outside world said, I’m afraid of losing the article, if there is a comparison, we will use the mansion newspaper to publish it, as long as it does not endanger the stability of the country, we can post as many as we want, and we can compare it in any way.”

Chen Shengzhi immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Xueshi said is reasonable, and public opinion still needs to be controlled. Although the articles published in genuine bookstores are still worthwhile, I am afraid that some traitors will borrow Tabloids, disrupting national stability.”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

Sima Guang said: "Although this is the case, what Fan Sijian said is also reasonable. It is better to defend the mouth of the people than Fangchuan. If the imperial court suddenly orders to ban tabloids, and scholars do not understand, this may lead to greater The crisis must be handled with caution."

Zhao Xu asked: "What do you think?"

Sima Guangdao: "I don't think there should be a one-size-fits-all policy. Tabloids can be banned from publishing any news about current affairs, but for ordinary matters, they should be allowed to be published in tabloids for people's entertainment."

Wang Anshi hesitated for a while, and said: "It is not impossible to do this, but it must be reviewed by the court before starting a tabloid. Otherwise, it will publish false news and cause chaos. It doesn't help, after all, the consequences have already happened."

Sima Guang nodded.

Zhao Xu said very straightforwardly: "Let's leave this matter to the two of you."

He also has a guilty conscience. After all, he is also one of the culprits behind the scenes. He cannot have any attitude on this matter. These courtiers of his are too shrewd, and even a slight negligence may be discovered by them.

After the meeting, Sima Guang grabbed Wang Anshi and said in a low voice, "You are afraid that the tabloids will harm your new law."

Although he didn't object in the palace, he still had to point out Wang Anshi's careful thinking, lest Wang Anshi think he was being fooled.

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Just dealing with you, I already have a headache. I don't have the time to deal with that tabloid. If Junshi is willing to support me, then he will still send it. I'm not afraid."

Sima Guang snorted: "With your personality, good things will also make you do bad things, so I don't support you."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "You have a steady personality, just one law, you have dragged it until now, and it hasn't been released yet. If I can live to be three hundred years old, then I will definitely follow you."

Sima Guang said: "There is no such thing as speed or speed in governing a country."

Wang Anshi said: "When the patient dies, even if you develop the best medicine, it won't help. If you can't cure the patient, you are a quack doctor. Hehe. Goodbye."

After finishing speaking, I slipped away.

Sima Guang muttered disdainfully: "That's better than putting the patient to death."

When Wang Anshi got out of the palace, he went to find Zhang Fei and told Zhang Fei that it was he who gave the order. At the same time, he asked Zhang Fei to stop publishing the tabloid first, and he had to apply before he could continue to publish the tabloid.

"You don't blame me, do you?"

Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Fei and asked.

Zhang Fei said with an aggrieved face: "No."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "You don't have to blame me, you will know when the time comes, I am doing this for your own good."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "When it comes to being good for me, then I have to boldly ask, what's good about it?"

Wang Anshi said: "If the imperial court doesn't control it, and tabloids are prevalent in your genuine bookstore, once something goes wrong with the tabloids, you will be implicated no matter whether you posted them or not. If the matter is serious, you You may also have to bear criminal responsibility.”

Zhang Fei said: "Is it true, Master Wang is not trying to scare me, is he? I am Zhang Daer."

Wang Anshi snorted, "Do you still need me to scare you? Isn't your father-in-law a victim of this tabloid? You used poison to fight poison, and I supported it, but to really avoid this, you still need to control it. This poison is used too much, but it will eat itself back."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Okay, from now on I will post some anecdotes about widows."

"Tsk!" Wang Anshi frowned at the kid.

"Oh no."

Zhang Fei coughed: "It's not a widow, it's a singing girl. This is the head office."

Wang Anshi nodded, "Send some harmless news, I won't care about you, just pay the taxes."

Zhang Fei said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay too much, and I'll disappoint the expectations of Grand Master Wang."

Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "Does little add up?"

After Wang Anshi left, Zhao Xu immediately sent someone to meet Zhang Fei quietly.

Inform Zhang Fei of the previous court discussion.

Zhang Fei nodded again and again: "As expected of Grand Scholar Wang, he actually persuaded Grand Scholar Sima and the others."

These words definitely came from the heart, because he knew that Wang Anshi was not trying to scare people, but he did not expect that Wang Anshi would have foreseen this step.

Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Your trick of manipulating public opinion is fancy, but you can't hide it from my ministers after all! Hehe..."

Zhao Xu didn't believe Zhang Fei's bragging before, but now he proved that he was right, so he quickly called Zhang Fei and teased him a few words.

Zhang Fei was startled slightly, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I haven't lost yet."

Zhao Xu was surprised and said: "Even Sima Junshi supports it, you can't win."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't believe it. The idea of ​​Grand Master Wang is right. It is indeed necessary to guard against it, but what he did was completely wrong. He will not play with this public opinion at all. Seven Within a few days, Grand Master Wang must be devastated by this matter."

Zhao Xu immediately asked: "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Fei raised his hands: "I don't do anything, just rest at home."

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

Zhang Fei hehe said: "Then why not gamble on something."

Zhao Xu is also in his early twenties, full of vigor, and immediately responded: "Whatever you want to bet on?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, "Your Majesty is so short of money, don't gamble."

Who do you look down on? Zhao Xu said angrily: "No matter how short I am of money, I am richer than you."

Zhang Fei put five fingers together: "Five thousand. I just want to buy a house."

Zhao Xu snorted, "I'm afraid you won't be able to buy this house."
