Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 262: Tell me, tell me

Chapter 262 Sue me sue me

The perception of the Northern Song Dynasty is that it is rather twisted, and it is awkward no matter how you look at it.

Technology is advanced, there is no shortage of generals, and there is no shortage of soldiers. It is slightly short of horses, but it will not be beaten every day.

Business is prosperous and the economy is developed, but the court is running a deficit every day, and the people are crying for poverty every day.

Everything seems contradictory.

Although there are many factors that cause these contradictions, one thing is certain, that is, the society is too advanced and the management is too backward to match.

Recruitment system.

Do not suppress mergers.

Official banknotes.

Promotes business.

Wait.

The same goes for tabloids.

The tabloids were originally born in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Huizong period, there were already problems, and the imperial court began to control them.

The imperial court has repeatedly banned it.

Therefore, Zhang Fei is determined not to take the blame. He just advanced the "Sheng" a little bit. Without him, it would have developed.

Because the common people know that the mansion newspaper is a lie, they report good news but not bad news, and whoever reads the mansion newspaper loves to read tabloids.

It can be seen that the Northern Song Dynasty itself had this kind of soil. The social atmosphere was open, there were scholars everywhere, and education was attached great importance. At the same time, technology kept up with it. Newspapers were an inevitable product.

And the response of the Song court was the same as that of Wang Anshi. It wanted to suppress the tabloid, but it couldn't, and the result became worse.

The most difficult thing about legislation is not that the law is good or bad, but that you must be able to ensure that the law can be enforced. After some laws are enacted, even if they are enforced, they cannot be enforced, and often make things worse. It gets worse, because the law is the bottom line of society.

Although the whole thing was not planned by Zhang Fei at the initial stage, as things changed, Zhang Fei also followed the wind and started to make arrangements.

Actually, he could take the initiative to stop Wang Anshi, although he may not be able to persuade Wang Anshi, but he did not do so after all, and his purpose is to bring things to this point.

Because he wants to get newspapers, if there is no legal support, this matter will become very troublesome, because you don't know whether it is legal or not, or whether it is illegal.

There is no standard.

The system of the Song Dynasty checks and balances each other, and the efficiency is extremely poor. Rather than suggesting that they legislate on this, it would be more enjoyable to file a lawsuit.

A decree can be delayed for a year, but a judgment cannot be delayed for a year. No matter how the sentence is sentenced, the court must give an explanation.

Zhang Fei also intervened in it through Erbi's identity.

"What? Xueshi Wang is suing my brother?"

Su Zhe looked at Sima Guangdao in shock.

Sima Guang nodded.

Su Shi said excitedly: "Fang Er's pen is Zhang San."

Sima Guang nodded.

"That's great." Su Shi was so happy like a child.

Su Zhe was dumbfounded, "Brother, what's so good about it?"

Sima Guang also stared blankly at Su Shi.

Su Shi said excitedly: "I have long wanted to have a few tricks with that kid, but I have never found the opportunity. This is really a godsend opportunity."

Sima Guang was dizzy.

Meet a fool.

It's over!

Su Zhe said excitedly: "Brother, do you know what kind of punishment you will face if you are convicted of these three crimes?"

Su Shi said displeasedly: "Third brother, don't you think that my brother's eloquence is not as good as that of Zhang San?"

Su Zhe was completely speechless, and he didn't bother to be serious with him, so he said to Sima Guang: "Scholar Sima, my elder brother is clearly complaining about Zhang San, so why should Zhang San want revenge?"

Su Shi immediately argued: "I'm not complaining for him, I just can't understand Wang Jiefu's actions, and it's reasonable for him to sue me."

This made Sima Guang didn't know how to answer, he said, "Since you, Su Zizhan, are so confident, it will save me a lot of trouble. However, it is not yet determined whether the trial will be held."

"Not sure?"

Su Shi said anxiously.

Admonition Court.

"Lawsuit again? He, Wang Jiefu, is a dignified political adviser. Why is he going to Kaifeng Mansion to sue every now and then, just like that Shengdou Xiaomin? It's ridiculous."

"The key point is why does he sue Su Zizhan? Although the lawsuit is fair, but using power to force the Kaifeng government to open the court is not a practice of favoritism and fraud. We have to go to the government to intervene with him. This."

When Wang Anshi, the king of the admonition court heard about it, went to sue again, he thought it was ridiculous.

Besides, you, Wang Anshi, sue at every turn, so why should we go to Jianyuan and Yushitai?

They are all tired of litigation.

There is no sense of participation at all.

Zhao Yan sighed and said: "I have carefully studied such cases. If you want to say whether Wang Jiefu is suspected of playing tricks, there is, but if you want to say that he is playing favoritism for personal gain, that's out of the question. Just because before that, It is impossible to sue this kind of dispute to Kaifeng Mansion, and it is often a court discussion. But once it comes to Kaifeng Mansion, judging from the judiciary, it is difficult to reject their pleadings with convincing reasons.

As far as the crime of making jackets, books and jackets is concerned, if you look at Su Zizhan alone, you can't constitute this crime, but the other party's pleadings are based on the results. Su Zizhan's remarks , indeed caused turmoil.

Then according to the discussion of this crime, it can be constituted as this crime. "

After hearing this, all the admonishers were dumbfounded.

Meet a director who speaks the Fa like this, why don't you go to Dali Temple to be the chief, it is really the sorrow of Jianyuan.

Fan Chunren stepped forward quietly, "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask you, does Su Zizhan invite you for a pen?"

".?"

Swish Swish Swish!

The eyes of the colleagues immediately shot to Fan Chunren.

It turns out that there is more than one disgrace to the Court of Remonstrance!

Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Song Zhigao, Li Zhigao, what are you guys talking about?"

Li Kai looked at Song Minqiu and Li Dalin in surprise, "You guys posted that tabloid?"

Song Minqiu nodded and said, "Exactly."

Li Kai asked puzzledly: "Why do you do this?"

Song Minqiu said: "We agree with Su Zizhan's opinion very much, and at the same time, we hate Wang Jiefu's actions, so we did this. This matter has nothing to do with Su Zizhan, and he, Wang Jiefu, has sued the wrong person."

Li Dalin said with a smile: "Su Zizhan's words are not illegal, and it is not illegal to publish tabloids. As a political adviser, Wang Jiefu is deeply trusted by the officials. If he really wants to punish us, why should he go through the Kaifeng government?" .”

Huang Gui hurriedly said: "Our Kaifeng government has never said that this matter is illegal. As for whether it is illegal or not, we can only make a decision after a trial. We will report this matter and please go back first."

Song Minqiu was stunned, and asked, "Don't you need to put us in prison?"

Huang Gui shook his head and said, "No need."

"Okay then, let's take our leave first."

Song Minqiu bowed his hands and added: "But this matter really has nothing to do with Su Zizhan."

Huang Gui whispered: "We can't decide this, it has to be decided by the judiciary."

"Mr. Huang meant what he said."

Song and Li Yi are not the younger generation, and they posted this tabloid to express their dissatisfaction.

But they didn't expect that the trouble would come to Kaifeng Mansion. They thought that they had implicated Su Shi, so they came to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender.

Such two nerds. Li Kai couldn't help cursing secretly, and then said to Huang Gui: "If they do this, the case will only become more complicated."

Huang Gui breathed a sigh of relief: "The more complicated this is, the less we can manage it."

Li Kai's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

Yes, Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion is still vacant, the case is getting bigger and bigger, involving the interests of all parties, it is not his turn to make the judgment.

Sure enough, Song Minqiu and Li Dalin's surrenders were reported to the newspaper, which made the already battered Zhengshitang even worse.

"The imperial decree that was specially drafted went to write a tabloid. This is really an anecdote! Do they think drafting the imperial edict is too boring?"

When Wang Anshi heard the news, he was very angry.

Wen Yanbo excitedly said: "You have a good relationship with Song Cidao, don't you know what he is like? Why don't you want to reflect on yourself."

They all have a good relationship with Song Minqiu, they are all book lovers, and they often gather to discuss books over wine.

Wang Anshi said: "At that time, you all knew my worries."

Wen Yanbo said: "We are also willing to work with you to calm this turmoil. It is you who chose to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."

Wang Anshi snorted: "They are all coming after me, how dare I implicate Duke Wen."

"You are just..."

"Report to all of you to participate in politics, Su Zhishi asks to see you."

Su Shi's current official name is the Zhishiguan. This official has no power, but he has a good past. Using this official name means that the court should focus on training. After one or two years, he will be promoted directly. Therefore, when Su Shi comes back, Sima Guang threw an olive branch.

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Why is he here to join in the fun?"

Seeing that Wang Anshi was in the middle of an explosion, Sima Guang was afraid that Su Shi would offend Wang Anshi, so he said, "I'll go see him."

Knowing the reason why Su Shi came here, Sima Guang was dizzy.

It turned out that Su Shi came here because he was worried that the defendant would be snatched away by Song Minqiu, saying that he was responsible.

"Su Zizhan, don't make any more trouble, okay?" Sima Guang was about to go crazy.

Su Shi said: "Scholar Sima, Song Zhigao is a man. You know better than me that he is no match for Zhang San and Wang Jiefu in court. If he is allowed to testify in court, it will be a mistake."

At this moment, Fan Chunren came again.

"Su Zizhan is here, that would be the best."

Fan Chunren was overjoyed to see Su Shi.

Sima Guang asked, "What's the matter with Fan Sijian?"

Fan Chunren hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima, let me defend Zizhan, I am sure I can win against Zhang San this time."

Su Shi immediately said: "I dare not trouble Fan Sijian with this matter."

Fan Chunren was stunned for a moment, "Has Zizhan invited anyone?"

Su Shi said: "I defend myself!"

Fan Chunren excitedly said: "How do you defend yourself?"

"Why can't I defend myself?"

"Look, you don't even know the rules of litigation, and you have to defend yourself. If you want to defend yourself, you can only be beaten passively, and you can't attack Wang Jiefu."

"Hugh pretend I don't know, the judicial reform has not yet arrived in Kaifeng, the rules are just unwritten and can be changed."

"Wouldn't that be messed up? Wang Jiefu also wants witnesses to ask questions, so there will only be endless quarrels. Moreover, the judicial reform has already been planned to be implemented in Kaifeng County, which shows that there is such a law, so we must follow the law."

As Fan Chunren said, he turned to Sima Guang and said, "Scholar Sima, is there anything wrong with what you said as an official?"

Sima Guang stood up and shouted out: "Come here! Throw these two out of the Zhengshitang."

".?"

There is really no one to worry about.

Xu Mansion.

"Song Minqiu? Li Dalin?"

Zhang Fei thought about it, but he still hadn't heard of it, so he asked curiously, "Did the two of them have any trouble with Wang Xueshi?"

Xu Zun shook his head and said, "Not only is there no festival, but the relationship was very good before. Wang Jiefu often borrowed books from Song Zhigao."

Zhang Fei was even more curious, "If that's the case, why did they do this?"

Xu Zundao: "Because they are very opposed to banning tabloids from discussing current affairs."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Then let's make up a pleading paper and sue them together."

"You wait first!"

Xu Zun also has some headaches now, "Song Zhigao is different from that Su Zizhan. He is knowledgeable and hospitable. This friend is spread all over the government and the public, such as Bachelor Sima, Duke Wen, Duke Fu, and Mr. Zhao are all on good terms with him. And he has a very high reputation in Shilin, if you sue him in court, you may offend all the scholars in Bianjing, see if you can arrange him among the witnesses."

Zhang Fei said: "They have all surrendered themselves, so they can't be regarded as witnesses. They may be charged with more serious crimes than Mr. Su. Moreover."

He smiled slightly: "I don't mind offending those scholars."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Don't get carried away, why Uncle Wang wants to file this lawsuit, isn't it because he can't bear the pressure from those scholars, let alone you."

Xu Zun nodded and said worriedly: "Qian'er is right."

"Not the same."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I can bear it. Scholars don't know how to do it, and I like this kind of big scene. My shirt is made for it. The more scholars pay attention, the better. We will What I did was to win the lawsuit beautifully and shut them up.”

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "Don't worry, no matter how beautiful you win, they won't shut up, and the troubles will only be endless."

The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched: "I've seen the tabloids written by Song Zhigao and the others. It's a complete mess, and I can't see any knowledge at all."

Xu Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "Doesn't it mean that we are invincible?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It must be."

To put it lightly, Su Shi was just complaining, but the actions of Song Minqiu and others are more serious. The key point is that he is an official who drafts the edict. Ask the emperor to come out and call the shots.

Changing Arch Hall.

"When discussing this matter at that time, Wang Xueshi's worries were definitely not mediocrity, and everyone agreed, but Song Minqiu and others did not ask why, they published tabloids, disturbed people's hearts, created chaos, and disliked the court. In an unjust place, and they are only court officials, they should be punished more."

Zhao Xu said that Longyan was unhappy.

Wen Yanbo immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Song Minqiu and others are not ignorant of Wang Xueshi's concerns, but they still oppose this. Not only Song Minqiu and others are against it, but almost all scholars and scholars are against it. I think The decision at that time was too hasty, it was the negligence of the ministers and others that caused the turmoil, the minister is willing to bear the crime of dereliction of duty, and I hope His Majesty will forgive Song Minqiu and others."

Wang Anshi stood aside and said in a low voice, "Can you take the blame for something illegal?"

Sima Guang immediately retorted: "It is not illegal to publish tabloids even if we discuss the matter according to the law."

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "The trial has not yet been conducted, so I hope Bachelor Sima will not make rash judgments."

Sima Guang snorted: "You also know that the trial has not yet been conducted, so why do you say that?"

Wang Anshi said: "At least I dare to go to court."

Sima Guang said: "Song Minqiu and others went to Kaifeng mansion by themselves, is this a guilty conscience?"

Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "Don't bother to quarrel, how should we decide on this matter?"

Zhao Yan suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jiefu's worries are not too much, but Su Zizhan's words are also difficult to judge the crime, but at present, it is difficult to balance the two. I think that going to court is the best solution. way."

Grand Lu always wanted to leave Kaifeng Mansion, but Zhao Yan really wanted to go back to Kaifeng Mansion. What he said can be understood as self-recommendation.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Zhao Bian depressedly.

I have never won against Zhang San in the court. Then Su Shi is the pillar of the country in the future, and Song Minqiu is our good friend. You send them to the court, which is unpredictable.

And it's more of a disaster than a blessing.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "What do you guys think?"

Wen Yanbo really doesn't want to go to court. Wang Wenshan and Wang Hong are still vivid in his mind. However, if Wang Anshi is willing to let go and admit his mistake, there is really no better solution to this matter.

Sima Guang stood up first and said: "I agree."

Lu Gong's writing and Chen Shengzhi also expressed their approval.

Wen Yanbo remained silent.

How did he know that Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Zhao Xu all supported Zhang Fei.

No one can stop this lawsuit.

This meeting is just a process.

Zhao Xu nodded and said again: "That's up to you!"

Zhao Yan immediately said: "I am willing to hear the case."

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhao Bian, smiled and said, "Okay! Qing will preside over this case."

The court of justice.

"I will defend myself."

Su Shi excitedly said to Sima Guang, "Scholar Sima, you have to trust me, I am sure I can win against Zhang San."

Sima Guang said: "You can defend yourself, but this rule can't be broken, you can't question witnesses."

Su Shi was in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Junshi, can you make an exception for me."

Sima Guang said: "This is what Prime Minister Zhao stipulated, and there is nothing I can do about it."

As he spoke, he glanced at the excited Fan Chunren again, "Let Fan Sijian defend you."

Fan Chunren hurriedly said: "Zizhan, just trust me this time."

Su Shiquan pretended not to hear it, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "Scholar Sima, in fact, I don't think this matter has anything to do with me. I just complained a few words. No one has ever complained. How can I call it a crime? It was Song Zhigao who put my words on the tabloids without my permission, so they should be the defendants, and I can defend them."

Sima Guang glanced at Su Shi, and said with a smile: "Su Zizhan, otherwise, you will be sentenced to death by hanging for the crime of leaking a major event, and this proposal is not a secret. If you plead guilty, you will be punished according to the law." , It is estimated that it will be a year in prison, if you don’t carry it all, it will save everyone’s trouble.”

Su Shi looked at Fan Chunren.

Fan Chunren cupped his hands again and again and said, "I hope Zizhan can trust me once."

Su Shi said: "Can Fan Sijian say what I say?"

Fan Chunren: ".!"
