Wang Anshi had calculated everything, but he never expected that the launch of his new law would actually start with a lawsuit.
Even if he said it, he wouldn't believe it himself.
But it also shows that what Fu Bi said is actually very reasonable.
For some things, once you set a precedent, others will inevitably follow suit.
When Zhang Fei sued the court, you, Wang Anshi, were also very convincing, so now you must also accept this request.
In the same way, if you, Wang Anshi, are serving the country and the people, the imperial censors and admonishers cannot oppose you. Then, in the future, whoever forms a party for personal gain and seeks personal gain, the censors and admonishers cannot object either.
Everything has two sides, and the two sides of politics are highly sensitive, and side effects are bound to occur. Even if one side can bring you many benefits, you must also consider how many disadvantages the other side will bring.
Unless it is a time of life or death, most politicians would rather have fewer benefits and minimize the side effects on the other side, because the key to politics is stability.
Because from the perspective of the people, this good policy is natural, but at the same time they refuse to accept the side effects.
But any policy has its pros and cons. There is no perfect policy in the world. As a result, people often don’t understand many decisions when they are made. This problem is so simple and I can solve it. Why don’t you do it? That’s them. I don't think much about how solving this problem may lead to more serious problems.
The problem of redundant officials is as simple as laying off people, but who can guarantee that Li Zicheng will not be laid off as well.
In fact, "Things need to be prevented, and things should be controlled", which refers to this point.
The core is "the policy of preventing fraud", rather than asking you to be proactive, bold and bold, and ride the wind and waves.
At this point, Wang Anshi could only accept it, so as soon as he left the main hall, he immediately ran to Zhang Fei with Lu Huiqing.
Zhang Fei, a pawn, suddenly became very important.
After Xu Zhiqian bowed to Wang Anshi, she wisely withdrew.
"You brat, I've been harmed by you this time!"
After sitting down, Wang Anshi sighed bitterly.
You are really good at talking. We have cooperated for a win-win situation before. If something goes wrong, why should you help me? Zhang Fei muttered in his heart, but at the same time he was also very surprised. He also said with a hint of complaint: "Master Wang, No, no, can you allow them to go to court?"
Wang Anshi was embarrassed and silent.
Lu Huiqing explained: "They focused on your lawsuit and kept attacking their mentor. They even brought the officials in, implying that if the court did not give Qian Yi a chance to go to court, then the officials would decide based on your lawsuit. The laws of our ancestors will also be questioned."
Zhang Fei frowned when he heard this, and thought to himself, it seems that I have taken the blame.
Seeing that he didn't seem confident, Wang Anshi immediately asked: "Are you sure of winning?"
"Me." Zhang Fei sighed: "At that time, I made it very clear to Lu Xiaokan that this courtroom is like a battlefield. Anything can happen. Even if I am sure of victory, I cannot give the king
This is the promise of the Grand Master."
Wang Anshi asked: "Then are you sure of winning?"
Zhang Fei pondered for a while, "This lawsuit is actually very beneficial to Academician Wang, because today's ancestral methods can be explained in any way, and they are the attacker and we are the defender, so for
As far as we are concerned, as long as we don't lose, we win. Under a fair environment, I don't think I will lose this lawsuit. Of course, this also has to take into account who will hear the case? If they protect each other, then I will too.
There is no way."
"It's not determined yet."
Wang Anshi thought for a while, "But it is impossible for me to review this case."
Zhang Fei asked: "Could he be the Grand Scholar of Sima?"
"his words!"
Before Wang Anshi came to a conclusion, Lu Huiqing suddenly said: "I guess it's unlikely."
Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Because if we lose, it will affect Bachelor Sima's prestige in the court."
"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
Sima Guang is currently the only one in the court who can compete with Wang Anshi. Regardless of age, prestige, and seniority, the key point is that Sima Guang also has the ability to reform.
However, Sima Guang had already lost to Zhang Fei once before. If he lost again, it would be a big blow to Sima Guang's status in the court.
But litigation is not what Sima Guang is good at.
So out of protection for him, he would probably not be allowed to come forward.
"Who could that be?"
Zhang Fei asked again.
Lu Huiqing said: "I still think that Mr. Fu has the best chance."
Wang Anshi also nodded, "If the rich man and Prime Minister Zhao had not come forward, this case would not have gone to court. However, Prime Minister Zhao is in charge of the admonishment court, and there are many admonishers involved, so he should not be allowed to come to trial.
It would be relatively fair if the rich man was the judge."
Lu Huiqing warned: "Zhang San, the rich man is getting stronger as he gets older. His eloquence is no less than that of his mentor and Sima Grand Scholar. You have to be careful."
"No one dares to be careless when facing a rich man." Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and asked: "Will the other party ask someone to plead?"
Lu Huiqing shook his head and said: "Probably not. In terms of eloquence and intelligence, apart from you, who among the people with great ears can compare with these censors."
"Censor?"
Zhang Fei just smiled disdainfully.
Wang Anshi asked with a smile: "What? You still look down on these censors?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "In the court, I am indeed looked down upon. I will not allow my major to lose to other people's hobbies."
Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "With your words, I feel relieved."
Although Zhang Fei didn't give him a guarantee of victory, he also saw that Zhang Fei just didn't want to take responsibility, but he was still very sure.
Next, they talked about the details of the whole case, especially about the censor's court defense habits. In Zhang Fei's view, court defense and litigation are different, so how to make good use of this is also crucial.
of.
The three of them discussed it for more than an hour before Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing went back.
As soon as they left, Xu Zhiqian slipped back.
"Are we really going to court?"
Xu Zhiqian also found this incredible!
"Um."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian looked slightly nervous and said, "Then are you sure of winning?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Why are you so nervous?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "I also support Academician Wang's reform."
Woman, you are still too young! Compared with the problems that will be faced later, this problem is simply kindergarten level. Zhang Fei smiled lightly and said: "Actually, in this kind of lawsuit, the father-in-law is right, and the mother-in-law is right.
My mother-in-law is right, and I, who is on the defensive side, have the advantage, and it is impossible for me to lose."
There is no need to hide and tuck in with Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Then we have to be careful. Let's go back and prepare quickly."
Zhang Fei originally wanted to say that this lawsuit was just a continuation of the previous one, and that he was the master of the ancestral law, so there was no need to prepare like before, but when he looked at the sky and thought that Xu Zun was going home soon, he
You still have to find Xu Zun to find out more about the specific boundaries between the imperial system and the law.
So the two of them immediately set off home.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Feng Nancy hurriedly out the door.
"It's great that my benefactor is back. I was just about to go find you."
"What do you want from me?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Now he is on the cusp of the storm, and he is also afraid of the turmoil!
Feng Nanxi said: "A man just came and said that he wants to ask you to file a lawsuit."
Niu Beiqing squeezed forward, winked and said: "My dear, that fellow is here carrying a big box, and it seems to be money."
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian looked at each other in tacit understanding.
"Go in and have a look."
When I arrived at the courtyard, I saw a man in his thirties, dressed in brocade clothes, sitting in the hall.
When the man saw them coming in, he stood up, looked at Zhang Fei again, and then hurried out the door.
"This must be Zhang Sanlang."
"Uh yes."
Zhang Fei looked at this man as a stranger.
"This is Chen Shen."
"I wonder if you are here to give me some advice?" Zhang Fei asked with his hands raised.
Chen Shen said excitedly: "I took the liberty of visiting you today to ask Zhang Sanlang to save my father's life."
Zhang Fei asked: "Save your father's life?"
Chen Shen nodded, and then told Zhang Fei the whole story.
It turned out that he was from Dengzhou, and his family was engaged in the silk and satin business. One day, his father went to a restaurant to drink and met a drunk man. There was some quarrel and then a push. As a result, his father accidentally pushed the man.
He fell downstairs and died.
He was sentenced to death by the government.
After he finished speaking, two big men came to Zhang Fei carrying a large wooden box.
As soon as the box was opened, it was full of white silver, which made Niu Beiqing and Feng Nancy gasp.
"Here are five thousand taels of silver. Since I am in a hurry, I can't bring too much silver here. But as long as Zhang Sanlang can rescue my father, I am willing to pay even ten thousand taels."
Ten thousand taels?
Niu Beiqing's mouth was wide enough to stuff an old hen into.
Can litigation be so profitable?
Why haven’t I heard of it before?
Zhang Fei glanced at the silver, five thousand taels was so dazzling, wouldn't ten thousand taels be even more spectacular? I have to think of a way to get this money, and then show them off.
Xu Zhiqian next to her whispered: "You don't really want to accept it, do you?"
Come on! It’s definitely out of the question! Zhang Fei pointed his hand towards Xu Zhiqian and said without interest: “You can handle it!”
With that said, he walked inside.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at Chen Shen and said, "Don't panic, sir. Just wait in Beijing with peace of mind. The state government does not have the power to impose death sentences. In the end, it has to be submitted to the capital for review by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Criminal Court.
Therefore, this lawsuit can be fought in the capital."
Chen Shen hurriedly said: "But my father is old!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zhiqian said: "You are already old, but you can still push others downstairs? This shows that your father is in good health, so you don't need to worry too much. Also, my father is a judge of Dali Temple affairs.
My father will be back soon, and I will take you to see him."
A flash of panic flashed in Chen Shen's eyes, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Excuse me."
He took his servants with him and left in a hurry, carrying the silver.
Zhang Fei, who was sitting in the hall, had just taken a sip of tea when he saw Xu Zhiqian walking in, "Wow! It was resolved so quickly, didn't they want to increase the price?"
Xu Zhiqian asked: "How much increase will you take?"
Zhang Fei said seriously: "One hundred thousand strings."
Xu Zhiqian said: "You don't want your life!"
Zhang Fei spread his hands: "You don't have to do well to get money, right? It's just 10,000 taels, and it's not worth my brains."
Xu Zhiqian snorted: "You are so self-righteous, it will hurt you sooner or later."
"With you supervising me, I don't need to think about this at all." Zhang Fei chuckled.
Xu Zhiqian gave him a sharp look, then lightly frowned and said, "I didn't expect them to take action so quickly."
You don't need to think about it to know that the other party must have come to bribe him and asked him to go to Dengzhou immediately, so he would definitely not be able to help Wang Anshi. For a person with a sharp ear, the offer is ten thousand taels. You must know that even if Zhang Fei doesn't accept it, Wang Anshi himself
If you go up, you won't necessarily lose. You can imagine how many interests are involved.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh: "This has just begun. As the new law progresses, they will use all possible means. This is the most terrifying thing!"
He had always been very cautious about entering the game before because he knew what would happen.
After Xu Zun came back, they informed Xu Zun of the incident.
Xu Zun was not surprised by this, but he couldn't tell who was planning it, because there were too many people trying to stop Wang Anshi's reform, including most of the royal relatives. But what is certain is that this was related to Wen Yanbo and Sima
They definitely have nothing to do with each other.
They don't bother to use this method.
On the same day, Wang Anshi also learned about this and immediately sent people over to protect Zhang Fei's house and the Bianjing Law Firm.
This shows how serious this lawsuit is.
And Qian Yi over there was finally released by Kaifeng Mansion.
However, the Kaifeng government still sternly rejected his prosecution.
It is impossible to set a precedent that the common people can directly sue the imperial court for its major policies. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future.
However, the case will be heard in court at that time.
Matters concerning the ruling class should be digested internally.
Liu Mansion.
"Thank you for your help."
Qian Yi thanked his colleagues.
Liu Shu immediately said: "Brother Qian sacrificed his life for righteousness, how can we not save him?"
As he spoke, he sighed again, "It's just that if we lose this lawsuit, it may be difficult for Brother Qian to return to the court."
Qian Yi said: "Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. As long as there is a fair trial, I don't believe I will lose to Wang Jiefu."
Qi Hui frowned and said: "As far as we know, Wang Jiefu is very likely to ask Zhang San to fight this lawsuit."
After hearing this, Qian Yi laughed loudly and said, "He doesn't even dare to go to court to argue. That only proves that he has something up his sleeve."
Both Android and Apple are available.]
Qi Hui and Liu Shu looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.
If evil never prevails over good, wouldn't Zhang San always be in a state of justice?
Liu Shu, who had suffered a lot, said: "Brother Qian, don't be careless. That Zhang San is eloquent and has endless tricks. He has won several times before. It is definitely not a fluke. This time we must be fully prepared."
"
The others also nodded.
Qian Yi also knew it, but he didn't believe it, and hummed: "He, Wang Anshi, used the name of reform to try to subvert the ancestral system and monopolize power. The evidence is conclusive. How can we allow that young man to quibble."
If everyone is reasonable and presents the facts, then there is nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Sima Guang suddenly walked in and said: "There is a difference between litigating a lawsuit and defending in court. I suggest you first read the records of Zhang Fei's previous lawsuits. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
Liu Shu hurriedly said: "What Grand Scholar Sima said makes sense, but we still need to be well prepared to avoid letting his kid succeed again."
Seeing that Sima Guang had said this, Qian Yi nodded.
