Chapter 147

"Uncle Fan said that well!" Zhao Si applauded, stroking his hands.

No matter when, people like Fan Zhongyan, Fan Chunren, Fan Chunli, Fan Chunli and his son are the conscience and backbone of this country and nation. No matter how good the Jinxiu article is, if you sit crookedly buttocks, your crotch will still be exposed.

Shit comes.

"From the example I just mentioned, you can see that some people want to use newspapers and magazines as an influential tool to stir up public opinion and influence the justice of the judiciary. Now, some people have gone a step further. They

Prepare to use newspapers and magazines to create public opinion and influence decisions on military and national affairs!"

"Previously, certain celebrities and great scholars were good at creating public opinion among scholars and literati and influencing government affairs. Now they find that newspapers and magazines have greater influence, so they turn their ideas to this. You must be careful!"

"It is indeed a big problem. If you refute it in newspapers and magazines, it will help them expand their influence and strengthen their momentum. But we can't just sit back and do nothing. Do we need to formulate regulations to restrict it?" Su Che said.

As a Situ, his first idea to solve the problem now is to formulate corresponding laws.

"No!" Fan Chunli denied unceremoniously.

"The law is too sharp and can easily hurt innocent people and block the way of speech. We cannot pour out the soup of public opinion supervision just because of a few mouse droppings. In recent years, newspapers and magazines have played a great role in local governance.

The great supervisory role has also helped uncover hundreds of corrupt officials."

"Use normal and legal channels as much as possible to stop these rat-shit behaviors and warn those with ulterior motives. I heard about the incident at Jianghuai mentioned by the officials -"

Having said this, Fan Chunli glanced at Zhao Si and continued.

"A businessman out of righteous indignation financed the family record of the villager who was slandered and died in vain. He took those copies of "Justice News" and rushed to the Xiangfu County Judgment Office in Kaifeng City to sue the newspaper owner and the author.

The Kaifeng Litigation Lawyers Association enthusiastically sent two experienced lawyers to litigate this lawsuit for the villagers’ families free of charge.”

Fan Chunli's face, as serious as an ancient tree, revealed a slight smile.

"Justice and the author who writes beautiful articles but distorts facts are in trouble. They originally thought that the villagers in the Jianghuai countryside might not even know a few words, so they dared to

The "Justice Daily" published such nonsense. Unexpectedly, the villagers, under the instigation and funding of caring people, actually came all the way to Kaifeng to file a lawsuit with them. They had good reasons and evidence. As long as the judge of the Xiangfu County Judgment Office was not blind, he would not be blind.

The heart is not black, the villagers must have won."

At the feet of the Emperor, do the judges of the Xiangfu County Judicial Office dare to be blind and evil?

After listening to Fan Chunli's words, Zhang Dun turned his head and glanced at Cai Bian.

Cai Bian smiled and said nothing. He knew the beginning and end of the matter best, because he was the one who followed the official's instructions and sent people to complete the matter.

The eldest grandson, Moli, stayed in Mobei and assisted Liu Fa in the Lingbei strategy. Therefore, Cai Bian served as Zhongshu Provincial Zuo Assistant and concurrently as Secretary of the Provincial Shizhong. It seemed that the Holy Scroll was prosperous and he had a high position, but

Cai Bian felt bitter in his heart. He vaguely felt that he was getting further and further away from the position of Dazai.

The next agenda is to discuss Dazai's successor.

"Mr. Zhang, first tell me who you recommend?" Zhao Si first named Zhang Dun.

"I recommend Cai Yuandu (Cai Bian), Lu Jifu (Lu Huiqing) and Xu Chongyuan (Xu Jiang). All three of them can serve as Grand Prime Minister." Zhang Dun replied concisely and concisely.

Cai Bian's face turned slightly red, as if he was a little excited, but he soon calmed down. Taking a closer look in his mind, he realized that Zhang Dun's favorite candidate should be General Xu, the current envoy to the Privy Council.

This man was capable of both civil and military affairs. He had won the first prize, had been in charge of the Ministry of War, and had served as a local commander. He had considerable political achievements. His temperament was similar to that of Zhang Dun, and he had courage and means.

The only drawback is that he is slightly older. He was born in the fourth year of Jingyou (1037) during the reign of the late Emperor Renmiao, and is only two years younger than Zhang Dun.

According to the official view, there is no "generation difference" and there is no real "succession".

In fact, Cai Bian was very troubled and tormented in his heart.

Once upon a time, he had become a popular candidate to succeed Dazai. As a close minister, he also felt that the official family had indeed made arrangements for him to succeed Zhang Dun.

But my brother did an outstanding job in the position of Minister of Planning, and he gained more and more attention from the officials, which also made him farther and farther away from the position of Dazai.

No matter how open-minded the official family is, they will not let the two brothers take charge of the Shangshu Province.

And Cai Bian knows his strengths and weaknesses.

He is good at strategy, and in the process of execution, the means are sufficient, but he lacks courage and tenacity. If the Apocalypse New Deal continues to be implemented, it will definitely become more and more difficult. This is also one of the important reasons why the officials launched the war to extinguish Xia in advance and went on an expedition to Mobei.

.

Officials need greater prestige and power to deter opposition. As the chief executor, Dazai certainly needs sufficient courage and means. Zhang Dun is competent, but Cai Bian cannot.

In November last year, after Guan Jia returned to Beijing, he communicated with me several times. The monarch and his ministers had a thorough discussion in private, and he also expressed his position at that time that he understood his shortcomings and no longer aspired to the position of Dazai.

The officials were very satisfied and made him concurrently serve as secretary and minister. This also meant that he lost his candidacy to succeed Dazai.

Although he said that he had figured it out, how could he let it go so easily in his heart?

Dazai, the head of hundreds of officials, under the new political system of the official family, is in charge of state affairs, comparable to the Prime Minister of the former Han Dynasty and Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi of the former Tang Dynasty.

The edicts of the former Tang Dynasty must have the seal of the Emperor and the seal of the Zhongshu family. After the Apocalypse New Deal, the Dazai could directly issue state affairs instructions in the name of the Minister of Provincial Affairs, and all ministries and counties must follow them.

The Provincial Decree of the Shangshu Province, with its title in bold red characters, is nicknamed the "red-headed document" by officials. However, in many cases, in local states and counties, red-headed documents are more effective than laws written in black and white.

Because you don't comply with the law, it is difficult to be discovered. Even if you are discovered, it will be the prosecutor's office or the supervisory bureau that will cause trouble for you. It will take a long time to go through a whole set of procedures before you will be held responsible.

If you don't follow this "red-headed document", you will see the real deal immediately!

The Minister of Finance wields two big sticks - personnel power and financial power. One is in charge of the official title, and the other is in charge of the money bag. If you swing any stick, from the county guard to the county magistrate, you can be beaten.

Half dead.

At the same time, Dazai had his own personal staff and think tank in the form of governing the central bureau and the advisory bureau. This is almost equivalent to the East and West Cao Cao of the former Han Dynasty Prime Minister.

As for some people who said that the Dazai was far inferior to the former Han Dynasty Prime Minister who wielded all the power, Cai Bian scoffed.

The power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister have been fighting for hundreds of thousands of years, constantly fighting, compromising with each other, and evolving along the way. Finally, they have reached the model of the Apocalypse New Deal - some aspects have been strengthened and some aspects have been weakened.

How could it possibly go back in reverse?

Thousands of thoughts went through Cai Bian's mind, and he heard Zhao Si calling Fan Chunli's name.

"Uncle Fan, do you have any recommendations for a candidate for Dazai?"

"Such a major matter must be decided by His Majesty, and I dare not make any rash comments." Fan Chunli's answer was in line with his character.

"Uncle Fan, this is to recommend talents for the country. You are fair and impartial. I just want to hear your opinion."

Fan Chunli thought for a while and then said: "I recommend Su Ziyou (Su Che), Xu Chongyuan and Han Shipu (Han Zhongyan)."

Cai Bian smiled inwardly. Old Master Fan really has never had a good impression of our Xining New Party. And if anyone says that Old Master Fan is pedantic and old-fashioned, I will go up and spit on his face.

From the three recommended candidates and their mentioned positions, we can know that Uncle Fan's heart is also a heart with seven orifices.

Like him, Su Che was a moderate member of the conservative party during the Xining Reform Period - unlike Sima Gong and other conservative conservatives who were trying to kill everyone. Their political ideas were very similar, so it was natural to recommend Xiao Su.

But Uncle Fan also knew that Su Che was a man of first-class literary talent and knowledge, but his political skills and courage could only be regarded as second-class. With so many top people in the dynasty, how could it be his turn to be the Dazai?

Let's continue to be the Situ of Zhongshu Province. This official position seems to be extremely honorable, but it is actually the convener of the Legislative Assembly.

Therefore, Old Master Fan put him first in the recommendation list, just like Zhang Dun put himself first in the recommendation. He was a foil and almost impossible to take up the post.
