Chapter 117 Unlocking the bell must be tied to the bell
The next day.
Zhang Fei got up early. After all, he hadn't set up a sports mode for his night, so he went to bed early.
When they came to the living room, Gao Wenyin, who was meticulous, had already arranged for Xiao Tao to prepare breakfast.
"Husband."
Halfway through eating, Gao Wenyin suddenly shouted softly.
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Gao Wenyin whispered: "Just now Xiaotao and Li Si went out to buy groceries and heard many people on the street talking about yesterday's lawsuit. Almost all said that the lawsuit was not good for the husband."
"Really?" Zhang Fei was surprised.
"Um."
Gao Wenyin nodded.
Zhang Fei called Li Si over again and asked him about it.
It turned out that this was indeed the case. Many public opinions took his arguments out of context and used them to criticize and distort his remarks. However, no one said anything that was beneficial to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is very familiar with this kind of gameplay, but he just replaced his Twitter with his mouth. He thought to himself, I really underestimated this ancient method.
At this time, Xu Zhiqian came.
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Ms. Xu is here, Xiaotao, hurry up and get that bowl."
"Mrs. Zhang, don't bother, I've already eaten." Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Fei again: "Do you know the rumors outside?"
Zhang Fei nodded, "My wife told me just now. It seems that Grand Scholar Wang's publicity skills are not good, so he will lose the first move."
Xu Zhiqian sighed softly: "In this aspect, Academician Wang is really not as good as them."
He has such poor propaganda skills and wants to reform. I really don’t know what Wang Anshi is preparing. He will not naively think that if he serves the country and the people, he will be successful. Fortunately, I clearly did not side with him at the beginning, otherwise
, I’m afraid that in the end, they will die together.
Zhang Fei smiled easily: "The role that public opinion can play in this case is limited. After all, it is the ancestral law. It is up to the officials to make a decision. If this is not possible, the worst case scenario is that we will have to fight with them in a court defense."
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "My father said so too."
Gao Wenyin next to him breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fei murmured to himself: "However, this public opinion is always controlled by the other party. For me, it is a hidden danger. How can I litigate for the rich in the future? Can I only blackmail them?"
"......?"
.....
In fact, in the first half of last night, public opinion was still in favor of Zhang Fei. Although most people did not know the specific situation, at least Zhang Fei left Dali Temple alive.
In addition, there are also big Vs such as Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi who help Zhang Fei promote it.
But in the second half of the night, public opinion immediately changed.
This only proves that the other party is really anxious, so they exerted force so quickly, hoping to use public opinion to put pressure on the court while avoiding their own embarrassment.
Before this lawsuit started, many people had already reacted. This lawsuit brought together almost all the contradictions at the moment.
For any party, it is crucial and cannot be lost.
Originally, many officials hoped that through this lawsuit, the scourge of Zhang Fei would be eliminated in one fell swoop, and at the same time, Wang Anshi's arrogant arrogance would be dealt a blow.
I never thought that so many officials would go into battle, only to be defeated again.
This was embarrassing to them.
Wang Anshi's words, "If you have money, give money, and if you have strength, give strength," it completely detonated the entire officialdom.
This is definitely a nuclear bomb.
Previously, Wang Anshi only pointed out the problem in court and did not reveal the specific content of the reform. Everyone just relied on their understanding of Wang Anshi and his political philosophy to guess the direction of his reform.
This time Wang Anshi directly revealed the contents of his reform.
Good guy!
I know you have no good intentions.
You have been tinkering with our feelings for a long time just to try to get our way.
If the imperial court wants to subsidize the poor to serve in the military, then it will inevitably have to expand its finances and increase its financial resources. Now the imperial government's finances cannot make ends meet and cannot come up with money.
Why Shenzong didn't like Sima Guang's reforms was because Sima Guang emphasized not to compete with the people for profit, which made it difficult to quickly solve the court's financial problems.
The main characteristic of Wang Anshi's reforms was to benefit the country, so he used Confucian classics.
According to Wang Anshi, it doesn’t take much thinking to know that taxing those who are exempted from military service will provide extra financial resources. In this way, it can not only enrich the national treasury, but also reduce the burden on the poor.
Who is exempt from service?
Needless to say?
This is more terrifying than the ancestral method.
The entire class of scholar-bureaucrats immediately united the front, but they chose to pick on the weak at first and focused their firepower on Zhang Fei first.
This is the source of all evil.
And although many ministers supported Wang Anshi's reform, they did not want to let an ignorant person set the tone for this ancestral law.
Scholars don’t want that either.
Not only did they create public opinion among the people, but they also accused Zhang Fei in the court of deceiving the public with his monstrous words and falsely discussing the laws of the ancestors, which was a crime of great disrespect.
But Xu Zun and others immediately stood up to speak for Zhang Fei.
When the hall asks you to argue, you don't say anything. Everyone in the hall yells more fiercely than the other. Is it because your purpose is shady?
Lu Huiqing also began to exert efforts among the people, but instead of defending Zhang Fei, he surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, constantly creating topics about the military service law, and subtly leading public opinion to the reform.
This is a matter of great concern to the people, and they are eager to abolish the Yamen Service.
Lu Huiqing continued to show off, and Wang Anshi wanted to abolish the Yaqian service.
The people's demand is to abolish the Yamen Service, and Wang Anshi also wants to abolish it.
Of course I support Wang Anshi.
For a time, Wang Anshi's reputation among the people soared.
Conservatives looked at it and thought, this is not okay!
Two dogs fight, play off.
They patronized the ancestral methods against Zhang Fei, but in the end they gave Wang Anshi an opportunity to take advantage of him.
With internal and external difficulties, we could only quickly ask the emperor to come out and take charge of the overall situation.
It's really strange that the emperor doesn't speak out about this ancestral law.
The emperor also has the most say.
Zhao Xu did not stand up immediately. The reason was simple. I had the advantage and he was not in a hurry. It would be better to fight and distinguish who is the enemy and who is an ally.
Chui Gong Hall was the place where the emperor of the Song Dynasty usually discussed current affairs with his ministers.
"I have already read the court trial record regarding this matter." Zhao Xu nodded, "I think Zhang Fei's argument about the ancestral law is very reasonable."
Liu Shu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zhang San is just a man with a sharp ear. How can he understand the methods of his ancestors?"
Zhao Xu asked: "Why didn't Mr. Liu question Zhang San about this in the hall?"
He was present, and Liu Shuming was the happiest and most embarrassed at that time.
Liu Shu looked a little embarrassed, "That Zhang San is just showing off his rhetoric and excerpting chapters and sentences. I am just a juror and I don't bother to argue with him, lest I lose my status."
Zhao Xu smiled slightly and fell silent.
What does this mean? Liu Shu glanced at the emperor in surprise and suddenly realized that the emperor was using his words to ridicule him!
Don't bother to argue with them, lest you lose your identity.
If you can play like this, then I can do it even more. How far apart your status is from mine, you have no idea.
You still disdain?
It's funny but you are serious.
this...?
Liu Shu stepped back awkwardly.
Lu Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Fei is right. Taizong's edict is the core idea of the ancestral law. If this edict is designated as the ancestral law, I also feel that
inappropriate."
Zhao Xu asked again: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jie replied: "Many of Taizu Taizong's policies and ideas are not included in this edict."
Zhao Xu said: "Then you will draw up a copy of the ancestral law and let me take a good look at it."
Lu Yue said in fear: "I don't dare."
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "As for the ancestral law, you usually speak very eloquently, so I want to ask you today, what exactly is this ancestral law?"
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other in tacit understanding, neither of them said a word.
"....!"
No one can answer this question.
Because in their hearts, it is the law that binds the emperor.
There is no answer to this!
"When will you figure out what the ancestral law is and when will we discuss this matter again? I'm a little tired! Let's end the meeting here today."
After that, Zhao Xu stood up and left.
Everyone could see that the emperor was angry.
After working on it for a long time, it turns out that you have the final say in this ancestral method.
What you say is what it is, and what others say is nonsense.
The emperor's meaning was very clear.
If you want to veto Zhang Fei, go ahead and use your ancestral methods.
But no matter what, the laws of the ancestors must be adjusted this time.
It can't be left to you.
...
Take it and take it!
I still don’t believe it, we people are not as good as a person with an ear.
It has to be said that all the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were talented and full of knowledge. Regardless of whether they were treacherous or virtuous ministers, in terms of talent, none of them was a person who was just trying to gain fame.
In less than three days, the ancestral law they formulated was released.
They first showed it to Sima Guang, but Sima Guang asked them to show it to Han Qi.
The ancestral method talks about qualifications.
In terms of qualifications and seniority, Han Qi, the veteran of the three dynasties, is definitely the number one!
He is the most qualified to speak.
So Liu Shu went to Han Qi with the method of his ancestors.
"Ancestor... Ancestor's method?"
Han Qi is holding that thing that is as thick as the Three Kingdoms. Everyone is stupid.
Liu Shu nodded reluctantly.
It’s so watery!
Han Qi lost all desire after seeing it, but he still gave them a little face and leafed through it casually. His heart was filled with confusion. This is not the law. This is clearly a history book, and it contains one sentence here and one sentence here and there.
There are also many repeated views. When I saw that they were written by multiple people, I suddenly looked surprised: "Are you Hu Tu? These words were clearly said by Mr. Fan, but why did you include them in it?"
Liu Shu said sarcastically: "But Fan Gong also quoted the methods of his ancestors."
They had no choice. Originally, this net was invisible, but now that the emperor asked them to weave it, they must formulate a perfect ancestral method to prevent the emperor from breaking out.
After Han Qi heard this, he directly handed the book of ancestral methods to the butler beside him, "Hurry and burn it."
Then he turned to look at Liu Shu and others, and said seriously: "This matter is irreversible. In fact, even if the edict is officially designated as the law of the ancestors, there is nothing wrong. When the time comes, you can quote the law of the ancestors.
It’s more justified.”
Liu Shudao: "But that's just an edict...!"
Han Qi saw that this person was so incomprehensible and inferior to the conservatives of the past. He couldn't help but said: "Things need to be prevented and things should be controlled. This sentence can be quoted in any policy."
This is professionalism. As long as you know how to play, this ancestral method can still restrain the emperor, but it is more useless than before.
Liu Shudao: "But...but Wang Jiefu can also quote this edict."
What he was referring to was the reform. Once the tone was set, the ancestral laws would provide great support for Wang Anshi's reform.
Han Qi frowned, "Judging from the current situation, even without this incident, it would be difficult to stop it. The key is that the officials have made up their mind."
Having said this, he sighed, "But don't worry, the officials are aware of the general situation and will not judge Zhang Sanying."
Liu Shudao: "What does Mr. Han mean, that the officials will sentence Zhang San to defeat?"
Han Qi said: "That's not the case."
"Then...what should we do?"
"To untie the bell, you still need the person who tied it!"
Han Qi said: "It depends on what that kid wants?"
This sounds hurtful to my self-esteem!
Liu Shu said depressedly: "Xiangong Han, this...!"
"What is this?" Han Qi said unhappily: "If the lawsuit is like that and you don't want to take any responsibility, that's impossible."
If the lawsuit is won, then you can say whatever you want, but if the lawsuit is fought with such virtue, it is really a bit fanciful to think that you can turn defeat into victory just by talking.
The emperor is not a fool.
...
The ministers were quarreling endlessly, and the people were also anxious. The lawsuit had been going on for several days, but there was no movement at all. What happened?
Only Zhang Fei, who muddied the waters, is very leisurely now.
At this time, he was sitting at home playing Go with Xu Zun.
"Do you know how to get off? You should get off here."
"You or I should do it, I want you to talk more!"
"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."
.....
Xu Zhiqian, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was so angry at Zhang Fei's chess skills that the two quarreled and... unexpectedly won.
"Won? Hey...I won!"
Zhang Fei was so confused that he didn't even know how to win.
Xu Zhiqian was also dumbfounded and said to Xu Zun: "Dad, did you let him do it on purpose?"
Xu Zun glared at them fiercely: "You guys are arguing here and I am so dizzy. How can I do this? If I want to do it to you two, I won't be able to do it."
Xu Zhiqian and Zhang Fei looked at each other, then turned their faces to one side.
Xu Zun shook his head helplessly and said to Zhang Fei: "It's almost time. If the quarrel continues, things may change. You should quickly hand over Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing, and Longshan to Kaifeng Mansion!"
"yes."
Zhang Fei shouted out: "Li Si! Li Si!"
"Third brother, you call me!"
"Go and ask Cao Yanei and Ma Xiaoyi to come to my house for dinner tomorrow night."
"Why."
After Li Si left, Zhang Fei called Shi Tingxiu over again, "Go and notify Feng Laoqi and the others and tell them about the operation tomorrow night. The operation code name is: Throw yourself into a trap."
Shi Tingxiu said: "Yes."
Xu Zhiqian said cautiously: "Isn't your arrangement a bit too hasty, and you also let Cao Yanei, Ma Xiaoyi and others participate."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I just want them to know that this is my condition."
...
The next night.
"Zhang San, why are you so kind today and inviting us to your house for a drink?"
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.
Zhang Fei said: "I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"I think this lawsuit will continue to be fought. I want you to be my assistant next time. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Seriously?"
Ma Xiaoyi ran directly to the chair excitedly, "Third brother, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Can I lie to you about this kind of thing? Last time, many officials thought it was inappropriate for Mrs. Xu to be a woman, and Li Si was more afraid of that situation. You are the most suitable candidates."
Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes: "I heard that there was a lot of trouble in the court. You'd better choose another way to deal with this matter!"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Brother, if you don't want to go, I won't go. I want to go."
Cao Dongdong glanced at Ma Xiaoyi and said, "Xiao Ma, my brother is doing this for your own good."
"What's good for me? If you can't go, you don't want me to go either." Ma Xiaoyi snorted.
Cao Dongdong glanced at Ma Xiaoyi with envy and hatred.
Of course he wanted to go, but his father had already told him not to get involved.
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Just pony!"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, if you want me to move here, I can go with you at any time."
"Ah? Oh, look!"
Just then, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "There is a thief!"
"Thieves?"
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi were in high spirits. It would be so difficult to encounter a thief at home, but they never thought they would meet one tonight. This was a double blessing. With a whoosh, the two of them rushed out.
"Where is the thief?"
"Sister-in-law! I am here to save you."
"Thief, my pony is here to meet you."
Hey hey ho ho!
After Zhang Fei slowly sipped the wine in his glass, he heard no movement outside and went out. He saw Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing and Longshan being severely pressed to the ground by Ma Xiaoyi and Tao Zi.
Cao Dongdong knelt down and asked, "Who is your sister-in-law?"
Zhang Fei wondered: "Yameni, shouldn't you ask who they are first?"
Cao Dongdong stood up and stood aside without asking, as if it was none of my business who they were.
Ma Xiaoyi clapped his hands and said with waning spirits, "These little thieves are really too weak. They fell down before I even used my true methods."
Niu Beiqing's dark face turned red. I made it so obvious, couldn't you see it? You are blind!
Li Si suddenly asked: "Third brother, what do you plan to do with these three thieves?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Of course I will be taken to Kaifeng Mansion!"
