The perception of the Northern Song Dynasty is that it is quite awkward and awkward no matter how you look at it.
With advanced science and technology, there is no shortage of generals and soldiers. There is a slight shortage of horses, but they 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 out for poverty every day.
Everything seems very contradictory.
Although there are many factors that cause these contradictions, one thing is certain, that is, this society is too advanced, and the management is too backward to match.
Military recruitment system.
Do not suppress mergers.
Official banknotes.
Promote business.
etc.
The same goes for tabloids.
Tabloids were born in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty. Problems already appeared during the Huizong period, and the court began to control them. However, by the Southern Song Dynasty, the tabloids were even more rampant than marketing accounts.
The imperial court repeatedly banned it.
Therefore, Zhang Fei will definitely not take the blame for this. He just moved the "sheng" a little earlier. Without him, it would have developed.
Because people all know that the Di newspaper is a lie. It reports good news but not sorrow. Whoever reads the Di newspaper likes to read tabloids.
It can be seen that the Northern Song Dynasty itself had this soil. The social atmosphere was open, there were scholars everywhere, and they attached great importance to education. At the same time, technology kept up with it, and newspapers were an inevitable product.
The Song court's response was just like Wang Anshi's. They wanted to suppress the tabloid, but they couldn't. Instead, they got worse.
The most difficult thing about legislation is not that the law is good or bad, but that you have to ensure that the law can be enforced. After some laws are enacted, they cannot be enforced even if they are enforced, which often makes things worse.
Too bad, 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 took advantage of the situation and began to make plans.
In fact, he could take the initiative to stop Wang Anshi. Although he might not be able to convince Wang Anshi, he did not do so in the end, and his purpose was to bring the matter to this point.
Because he wants to publish newspapers, and without legal support, this matter will become very troublesome, because you don't know whether it is legal or illegal.
There is no standard.
The system of the Song Dynasty was based on mutual checks and balances, and the efficiency was extremely low. Instead of suggesting that they legislate this, it would be better to fight a lawsuit.
A decree can be delayed for a year, but a judgment cannot be delayed for a year. No matter what the judgment is, the court must give an explanation.
Zhang Fei also intervened through his identity as Erbi.
"What? Bachelor Wang sued my brother?"
Su Che looked at Sima Guang in shock.
Sima Guang nodded.
Su Shi said excitedly: "Fang Erbi is Zhang San."
Sima Guang nodded.
"It's great." Su Shi was as happy as a child.
Su Zhe was dumbfounded, "Brother, what's so good about it?"
Sima Guang also looked at Su Shi blankly.
Su Shi said excitedly: "I have long wanted to have a fight with that kid, but I have never found the opportunity. This is really a God-given opportunity."
Sima Guang was stunned.
I met a fool.
It’s over!
Su Che said excitedly: "Brother, do you know what kind of punishment you will face if you are convicted of these three crimes?"
Su Shi said with displeasure: "Third brother, do you think my brother's eloquence is not as good as that of Zhang San?"
Su Zhe was completely speechless and didn't bother to argue with him, so he turned to Sima Guang and said, "Sister Sima, my brother is obviously grievances for Zhang San, why should Zhang San want to retaliate?"
Su Shi immediately defended: "I'm not complaining about him, I just can't stand what Wang Jiefu did. It's reasonable for him to sue me."
This made Sima Guang not sure how to answer, he said hehe: "Since you, Su Zizhan, are so confident, it saves me a lot of trouble. However, it has not yet been determined whether a trial will be held."
"Not sure yet?"
Su Shi said anxiously.
Jianyuan.
"Another lawsuit? Why is it that Wang Jiefu, who is a prominent official in political affairs, is just like that low-level citizen who always goes to Kaifeng Mansion to complain? It's really ridiculous."
"The key point is why he sued Su Zizhan. Although the lawsuit is fair, using power to force the Kaifeng government to open a court is not malpractice for personal gain. We have to go to the official to consult him."
When the admonishment court heard that King Anshi went to complain again, everyone thought it was ridiculous.
Moreover, you, Wang Anshi, are always complaining, so why should we go to Jianyuan and Yushitai?
They are all tired of litigating.
There is no sense of participation at all.
Zhao Pian sighed and said: "I have studied this type of case carefully. To say whether Wang Jiefu is suspected of taking advantage of others, yes, but to say that he engaged in malpractice for personal gain, it is impossible to say. This is just because before this, such disputes
, it is impossible to bring the case to Kaifeng Mansion, and it is usually discussed by the court. But once the matter goes to Kaifeng Mansion, from a judicial perspective, it is difficult to reject their petition with convincing reasons.
As for the crime of making jackets and writing jackets, if you look at Su Zizhan alone, this crime cannot actually be constituted. However, the other party's pleadings are based on the results. Su Zizhan's remarks are indeed
caused turmoil.
So according to the analysis of this crime, it can be constituted as this crime."
After hearing this, all the admonishers were dumbfounded.
When you meet a director who talks like this, why don't you go to Dali Temple and become a director? It's really a tragedy for Jian Yuan.
Fan Chunren walked forward quietly and said, "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask you, Su Zizhan, please ask for Erbi?"
".?"
Swish, swish, swish!
The eyes of his colleagues immediately shot to Fan Chunren.
It turns out that there is more than one shame for Isayan!
Kaifeng Mansion.
"Song Zhigao, Li Zhigao, you. What did you say?"
Li Kai looked at Song Minqiu and Li Dalin in surprise, "Did you publish that tabloid?"
Song Minqiu nodded and said: "Exactly."
Li Kai asked in confusion: "Why are you doing this?"
Song Min begged: "We do this because we very much agree with Su Zizhan's views and at the same time hate Wang Jiefu's actions. This matter has nothing to do with Su Zizhan. He, Wang Jiefu, accused the wrong person."
Li Dalin smiled and said: "What Su Zizhan said is not illegal, and publishing a tabloid is not illegal. Wang Jiefu, as a political advisor, is deeply trusted by officials. If he really wants to punish us, there is no need to go through Kaifeng Mansion."
Huang Gui hurriedly said: "Our Kaifeng Mansion has never said that this matter is illegal. As for whether it is illegal or not, we have to go through a trial before we can make a decision. We will report the matter and ask you two to go back first."
Song Minqiu was stunned and asked, "Don't you have to put us in prison?"
Huang Guizhi shook his head and said, "No need."
"Okay then, let's say goodbye first."
Song Minqiu bowed his hands and added: "But this matter really has nothing to do with Su Zizhan."
Huang Gui said humbly: "We can't decide this, we have to leave it to the judiciary to decide."
"Master Huang's words are meaningful."
Song and Li are not young people. They published this tabloid to express their dissatisfaction.
But they did not expect that the trouble would come to Kaifeng Mansion. They believed that they had caused Su Shi to be implicated, so they took the initiative to come to Kaifeng Mansion and surrender.
Such two nerds. Li Kai couldn't help but cursed secretly, and said to Huang Gui: "If they come like this, the case will only become more complicated."
Huang Gui breathed a sigh of relief: "The more complicated this is, the less it will be our turn to take care of it."
Li Kai's eyes lit up and he felt happy.
Yes, this power is still vacant in Kaifeng Mansion. The case is getting bigger and bigger, involving the interests of all parties, and it is not his turn to make the final decision.
As expected, Song Min asked that Li Dalin's surrender be reported to the police, which made the political affairs hall that was already in a state of distress even worse.
"It's a strange thing that a person who specializes in drafting imperial edicts actually went to write tabloids. Do they think drafting imperial edicts is too boring?"
When Wang Anshi heard the news, he was really furious.
Wen Yanbo said excitedly: "You have a good relationship with Song Cidao. Don't you know his character? Why are you unwilling to reflect on yourself?"
They all have a good relationship with Song Minqiu. They are all book lovers and they often get together to have wine and discuss books.
Wang Anshi said: "You all knew what I was worried about at that time."
Wen Yanbo said: "We are also willing to work with you to quell this turmoil. It was you who chose to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."
Wang Anshi snorted: "They are all here for me, how dare I harm Duke Wen."
"You are simply..."
"I would like to inform you all to participate in politics, and Su Zhishi would like to see you."
Su Shi's current official name is Zhishi Guan. This official does not have much power, but he has a good past. This official name means that the court will focus on training, and he will be directly promoted in one or two years. Therefore, as soon as Su Shi comes back, Sima Guang will
Throw an olive branch.
Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Why is he here to join in the fun again?"
When Sima Guang saw Wang Anshi being exploded, he was afraid that Su Shi would offend Wang Anshi, so he took the initiative and said, "I'll go see him."
But knowing the reason why Su Shi came here, Sima Guang was so angry that he fainted.
It turns out that Su Shi came here because he was worried that Song Min asked them to snatch the defendant away, saying that the responsibility lay with him.
"Su Zizhan, can you please stop causing trouble?" Sima Guang was also going crazy.
Su Shi said: "Sima Bachelor, Song Zhigao is a person. You know better than I do. He is no match for Zhang San and Wang Jiefu in the court. If he is allowed to go to court to give a confession, it will cause trouble."
At this moment, Fan Chunren came again.
"Su Zizhan is here too, that's the best thing."
Fan Chunren was overjoyed when he saw Su Shi.
Sima Guang asked: "What's the matter with Fan Sijian?"
Fan Chunren said hurriedly: "Bachelor Sima, ask me to defend Zizhan. I am sure I can defeat Zhang San this time."
Su Shi immediately said: "I don't dare to trouble Fan Sijian about this matter."
Fan Chunren was stunned, "Has Zizhan already invited someone?"
Su Shi said: "I will defend myself!"
Fan Chunren said excitedly: "How do you defend yourself?"
"Why can't I defend myself?"
"Look, you don't even know the rules of litigation, and you still have to defend yourself. If you want to defend yourself, you can only be beaten passively. You can't attack Wang Jiefu."
"Don't pretend that I don't know. Judicial reform has not yet reached Kaifeng Mansion. Those rules are just unwritten and can be changed."
"Wouldn't that be a mess? Wang Jiefu also wants witnesses to ask questions, which will only lead to endless quarrels. Moreover, the judicial reform has been prepared to be implemented in Kaifeng County, which shows that this law already exists, and we must respect the law."
As Fan Chunren said this, he turned to Sima Guang and said, "Scholar Sima, is there anything wrong with what I said as a low-ranking official?"
Sima Guang stood up and shouted outside: "Here comes someone! Bounce these two people out of the political hall."
".?"
There is really no peace of mind.
Xu Mansion.
"Song Minqiu? Li Dalin?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while, but still hadn't heard of it, so he asked curiously: "Do the two of them have any issues with Bachelor Wang?"
Xu Zun shook his head and said: "Not only did we not celebrate the festival, but our relationship was very good in the past. Wang Jiefu often borrowed books from Song Zaigao."
Zhang Fei was even more curious, "If that's the case, then 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 petition and file a lawsuit together with them."
"Just wait!"
Xu Zun now also has a headache, "Song Zhigao is different from Su Zizhan. He is knowledgeable and hospitable. He has friends all over the government and the public, such as Sima Xueshei, Wen Gong, Fu Gong, and Zhao Xianggong all have good relations with him. And in Shizhan, he has a good relationship with him.
Lin also has a very high reputation. If you take him to court, you may offend all the scholars in Bianjing. See if you can arrange him as a witness."
Zhang Fei said: "They have all surrendered. They cannot be counted as witnesses. The charges may be more serious than Mr. Su's. Moreover."
He smiled slightly: "I don't mind offending those scholars either."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Don't get carried away. Why does Uncle Wang want to fight 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."
"no the same."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I can bear it, but scholars won't do anything. And I like this kind of big scene. My shirt was born for this. The more scholars pay attention to it, the better. What we have to do is
It would be nice to win this lawsuit and shut them up."
Xu Zhiqian hummed softly: "Don't worry, no matter how beautiful you win, they won't shut up, and the trouble will be endless."
Zhang Fei raised the corner of his mouth: "I've seen the tabloids written by Song Zhigao and others. It's a complete mess, with no knowledge at all."
Xu Zhiqian was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Doesn't it mean that we are invincible?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I have to."
To put it mildly, Su Shi was just complaining, but the behavior of Song Minqiu and others was more serious. The key was that he was an official who made imperial edicts and drafted imperial edicts. If this matter got bigger and bigger, the emperor had to be asked to come out.
Call the shots.
Chui Gong Hall.
"When discussing this matter at that time, Academician Wang's concern was definitely not caused by mediocrity, and everyone agrees with it. However, Song Minqiu and others did not ask for the reason, and they published tabloids to disturb people's hearts, create chaos, and suspected that the court was unjust.
They are in this land, and they are still officials of the imperial court, so they should be punished with a higher level of punishment."
Zhao Xu said Long Yan displeasedly.
Wen Yanbo immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Song Minqiu and others are not unaware of Scholar Wang's concerns, but they are still opposed to this. And not only Song Minqiu and others are opposed to it, but almost all scholars are opposed to it. I think the resolution at that time
It was too hasty, and it was the negligence of the ministers that led to this turmoil. I am willing to bear the blame for dereliction of duty, and I hope that your majesty will forgive Song Minqiu and others."
Wang Anshi stood aside and whispered: "Can you still be punished for illegal things?"
Sima Guang immediately retorted: "Even if matters are judged according to law, it is not illegal to publish tabloids."
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "We haven't heard anything yet, so I hope Bachelor Sima won't make any rash judgments."
Sima Guang snorted: "You also know that the trial has not yet started, 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 because they have a guilty conscience?"
Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "You two, please stop arguing. How should we decide this matter?"
Zhao Pian suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jiefu's worries are not excessive, but Su Zizhan's words are difficult to blame. But at present, it is difficult to balance the two. I think resorting to court is the best solution."
Mr. Lu always wanted to leave Kaifeng Mansion, but Zhao Bian also wanted to return to Kaifeng Mansion. His words could be understood as self-recommendation.
Wen Yanbo glanced at Zhao Bian depressedly.
I have never defeated Zhang San in court. Su Shi will be the pillar of the country in the future, and Song Minqiu is our good friend. If you take them to court, it will be unpredictable.
And it's more of a disaster than a disaster.
Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "What do you think?"
Wen Yanbo really didn't want to go to court. Wang Wenshan and Wang Hong still remember it vividly. However, if Wang Anshi is not willing to admit his mistake, there is really no better solution to this matter.
Sima Guang stood up first and said: "I agree."
Lu Gong wrote it, and Chen Shengzhi also expressed his approval.
Wen Yanbo remained silent.
But 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, "That's up to you!"
Zhao Pian immediately said: "I am willing to hear this case."
Zhao Xu glanced at Zhao Pian and said with a smile: "Okay! I will let you preside over this case."
Court of Trial.
"I want to defend myself."
Su Shi excitedly said to Sima Guang, "Sister Sima, you have to believe me, I am sure that I can beat Zhang San."
Sima Guang said: "You can defend yourself, but the rules cannot be broken. You cannot question witnesses."
Su Shi became anxious and said, "Brother Junshi, can you make an exception for me?"
Sima Guang said: "This is stipulated by Prime Minister Zhao, and I can't do anything about it."
As he said that, he glanced at the excited Fan Chunren and said, "Let Fan Sijian defend you."
Fan Chunren said quickly: "Zizhan, please believe me this time."
Su Shiquan didn't seem to hear it, and suddenly he had an idea and said: "Sister Sima, actually I think this matter has nothing to do with me. I just complained a few words, and no one has complained. How can it be considered a crime? It was Song Zugao and the others. My words were published in tabloids without my permission. They should be the defendants and I can defend them."
Sima Guang glanced at Su Shi and said with a smile: "Su Zizhan, otherwise, in terms of the crime of leaking major events, the death penalty will only be given if the circumstances are serious. And this discussion is not confidential. If you plead guilty, you will probably be punished according to the law." It’s just a one-year sentence, if you don’t bear the whole sentence, it will save everyone the trouble.”
Su Shi looked at Fan Chunren.
Fan Chunren repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "I hope Zizhan can trust me once."
