Tang Jie, the Prime Minister, was not in good health. After all, he was about to reach the age of hearing. He went to talk to Wang Anshi all day long, and when he came home, he was so angry that he lay ill in bed.
However, Tang Jie was a well-known direct minister in the court, and some even praised him as the contemporary Bao Zheng. His character was also impeccable and he was truly highly respected.
He couldn't afford it, which aroused the anger of conservatives.
The censors and admonishers, headed by Liu Qi and Qian Yi, frantically filed petitions to impeach Wang Anshi for being a rebellious minister and a traitor.
This is a very serious crime.
Zhao Xu did not expect that Tang Jie would be so angry that he fell ill, but he felt aggrieved. I didn't do anything. The royalties law still takes care of you literati. You are here shouting and killing.
It's really bullying.
Wang Anshi thought the same way. It was Tang Jie who came to scold me and I argued with him. Can you blame me?
He was not willing to show weakness, and he could not show weakness, because this was just the beginning and he had to be strong, so he secretly asked someone to report to impeach Qian Yi for forming a party for personal gain, and wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Zhao Xu knew very well what was going on, but he could not let them be so tyrannical, so he immediately ordered Qian Yi to be demoted out of the capital and go to Jiangzhou as a minor official to accompany Wang Sinong.
This angered conservatives even more.
The duty of the censor is to speak. You, the emperor, cannot demote people from the capital just because the censor performs his duties. From now on, you can only say what you like to hear.
This led to more censors getting involved.
On the one hand, he interceded for Qian Yi, and on the other hand, he continued to impeach Wang Anshi.
But if you look back and think about it carefully, in fact, the emperor only established a new department to preside over the new law, but he did not follow the usual practice of issuing a letter from the emperor to initiate the reform.
But after all, the Privy Council was also involved.
This is actually not a treasonous thing.
However, after a year of testing, many ministers were very opposed to some of Wang Anshi's ideas, and even felt disgusted with them. As a result, everyone's brains were always tense, thinking that Wang Anshi would definitely do something random.
Now that the establishment of the Three-Ministry Ordinance has been implemented, conservatives feel like they have been pricked by a needle. Although the skin is not even broken, they reacted fiercely.
This is actually a neurological reflex.
But this also directly led to the rapid intensification of conflicts.
As the new head of the Yushitai, Wen Yanbo was anxious. He should have stood up to lead the Yushitai, but he also felt that at least he would wait until the new law came out. It would be unreasonable to make a fuss now!
But people can’t help themselves in court!
Wen Yanbo quickly ran to find Sima Guang.
"Jun Shi, it won't work if we continue like this!"
Wen Yanbo said anxiously.
"I know too."
Sima Guang was about to cry without tears: "But they did something wrong. Although the royalty law has not been approved, it has been discussed. Your Majesty is also aware of it, and it is for the sake of the literati. Not only that, the common people
They all still hope that Wang Jiefu can reform the government service, but you see, Mr. Han and Mr. Fu have not said anything!"
"Of course I know that."
Wen Yanbo said: "But we have to find a way to appease them. If the quarrel continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before they are all demoted from the capital. By then, if Wang Jiefu's new law is really inappropriate, no one will stand up to oppose it."
This has not even started yet, and we have already lost our troops and generals. It is really hurtful.
At the same time, it also hints to Sima Guang that no matter what, you have to stand up, otherwise, who will support you in the future.
Although Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are higher than Sima Guang in terms of status and qualifications, after all, they are older and have been idle for a period of time. Sima Guang is undoubtedly the next leader.
Wen Yanbo also intended to help Sima Guang ascend to power. After all, Sima Guang shared their political ideas.
Sima Guang thought for a while and sighed: "Then let's compete in court."
Wen Yanbo asked: "How to compete in court?"
Sima Guang said: "The officials and Wang Jiefu obviously want to use Qian Yi to scare the monkeys. It is impossible for Qian Yi to be saved. If the trouble continues, it will only implicate more people. Qian Yi is also a straight-tempered person, and he will not let go of some words.
Even if he says it, he can't do it. It's better to let him resign on his own, and then go to Kaifeng Mansion as a commoner to sue Wang Anshi for violating the laws of his ancestors."
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Is this possible?"
Sima Guang said: "If Zhang San can do it, so can Qian Yi. If the court doesn't accept it, then it will be on our side."
Wen Yanbo asked again: "Can we win?"
Sima Guang shook his head and sighed: "No one can say for sure, but it is better than leaving the capital feeling aggrieved or continuing to make such noise."
Wen Yanbo nodded. In the court, no matter what, we would argue for a reason and would not cause a split in the court. He thought for a moment and suddenly said: "How about we ask Zhang San to file this lawsuit?"
Sima Guang frowned, "Zhang San just received a favor from Wang Jiefu. He may not agree to help us. Otherwise, I will go find him myself."
Wen Yanbo suddenly remembered that the tax calculation of the Royalty Law was handed over to Zhang San. How could he help Qian Ai?
He has experience in litigating, but this litigation is almost the same as court defense. I guess Qian Yi himself would not be willing to let Zhang San litigate on his behalf."
Sima Guang said: "If Duke Wen has no objection, I will ask Liu Shu to talk to Qian Yi and see if he is willing."
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, "Whether you can win or not is another question. Even if you lose, it will be an explanation for everyone, and you can also try your method to see if it works."
Recording Lane.
The Bianjing Law Firm, which reopened a few days ago, was so quiet at that time, but it is so lively at this moment.
Fan Li, who was guarding the counter, looked at the crowd of guests and guests in the room, and finally understood Zhang Fei's design concept.
Why should the store be changed to look like a restaurant?
If it wasn't designed like this, there would be no place for so many people to sit there.
And most of the people sitting here are literati, or young men from scholar-bureaucrat families.
They are all here to talk about copyright.
The imperial court takes such good care of us literati, so we cannot live up to the imperial court's good intentions.
Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.
In addition, those big booksellers have also sensed business opportunities. This is the best time to monopolize, because in this case, small booksellers will definitely not survive.
Especially when they learned that the Yan family had signed a licensing contract with Zhang Fei's bookstore, they also started to take action. Moreover, they were very experienced. They knew which articles and poems sold well and how much money they spent. They could both convince
The other party also maximizes its own interests, so it also takes the initiative to seek authorization.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
But I am not very familiar with this new law and I don’t know how to create a contract. I have no choice but to come to Bianjing Law Firm to experience the one-stop service of contract creation and tax calculation.
At that time, they only need to take the tax calculation form from Bianjing Law Firm and go to the Municipal Taxation Department to pay.
In fact, it’s okay not to pay.
It's just that the court does not provide any guarantee.
Fan Li didn't even think about greeting the guests now. He just stood on the counter and counted the real money and silver.
Of course, with so much money, he wouldn't trust others to look after it.
And Zhang Fei is not idle either. At this time, he is entertaining big clients like Ma Tianhao and Fan Zheng in the backyard.
"well."
Chen Maoqian sighed and looked at Ma Tianhao beside him, "Fourth brother, I really didn't expect that our brothers would be slaughtered on the chopping block."
Ma Tianhao glanced at Fan Zheng standing aside and hummed: "Brother Fan is still smart enough to let his son be slaughtered."
Fan Zheng laughed and said nothing.
"Hey Hey hey!"
Zhang Fei was speechless: "Please don't do this, it makes it seem like I'm really going to kill you."
Ma Tianhao said angrily: "Five hundred guan a year? You are really capable of doing this! Li Guozhong is still the head of the business, but the deed of their shop and the written declaration plus one yuan only cost ten guan."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Executive member, money is money, but don't insult me, okay? Compare Li Guozhong to me?"
Chen Maoqian complained: "But yours is too expensive!"
Zhang Fei said: "This is not contract money, this is service fee. As long as you hire our law firm for a long time, we will cover all your contracts, tax calculations, and all legal issues. Five hundred dollars is really
Conscience is worth it.”
Ma Tianhao hummed: "Then if we don't file a lawsuit, wouldn't it be a loss?"
Zhang Fei said: "Executive officer, please see clearly that the cost of the lawsuit is calculated separately and is not included in the service fee."
"Another calculation?"
"yes!"
"Then what do we spend the money on?"
"Make sure there are no lawsuits."
"?"
Zhang Fei explained: "If you really go to court, you can't say anything for sure. My service is to ensure that you will not go to court, so when you are not sure whether it is illegal, you must come to me first."
I."
black!
It's really not ordinary black.
Chen Maoqian felt that he was really a kind and gentle little sheep, born only to be slaughtered.
They quickly picked up the contract and looked at it carefully.
Zhang Fei added: "The situation is so turbulent now. God knows what will happen. How can this person walk by the river without getting his shoes wet? Maybe if he is not careful, he may lose his fortune. If you spend five hundred yuan to buy peace of mind, there are still many things in the world."
Is there any business more profitable than this? Besides, these five hundred coins are just a drop in the bucket to you."
The annual fixed expenditure is 500 yuan.
Just open your mouth and say nothing.
It hurts to pluck out hair too!
Ma Tianhao and Chen Maoqian were gloomy and silent.
It’s really like being sent to your door to be slaughtered!
Zhang Fei glanced at them and coughed lightly: "Of course, this is just a suggestion. When we do business, it's all about your own will. You can also ask us to calculate the tax separately. We will calculate the price based on the scale of your business.
At most, it’s only one hundred strings per year.”
Ma Tianhao snorted: "Isn't there a cashier in my house?"
Zhang Fei smiled disdainfully: "Can your accounting office ensure that you pay taxes to the satisfaction of the government?"
Ma Tianhao died immediately.
Fan Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Second uncles, I think Brother Zhang's asking price is very fair. In today's world, we do need the protection of the law."
Zhang Fei immediately praised: "You are really better than the old!"
With that said, he said to Ma Tianhao: "Brother Hao, you should also come."
Ma Tianhao hummed: "Let that traitor come, I'm afraid he will sign all the five thousand dollars. Sign it! Sign it! When I came here, I knew I would be slaughtered by you, but I didn't expect you to be slaughtered so cruelly."
Zhang Fei said: "When the price increases in the future, you will know how kind I am now."
"?"
It was almost evening, but it was still bright.
An old man in his fifties walked slowly to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Although he was dressed in cloth, his back was straight and he looked upright.
When the yamen servant in front of the door saw this person, he immediately came forward, cupped his fists and said, "I have seen Qian Yushi."
This old man is Qian Yi, the censor.
Qian Yi said: "I have resigned from the post of censor. Now I am just wearing common clothes. You don't need to salute me."
The bad guys looked at each other, but they didn't dare to take it seriously.
Don't offend the censor if you offend anyone!
Qian Yi ignored them and went straight to Denwen Drum.
What does he want to do?
Before they could react, Qian Yi had already picked up the drumstick and beat the Denwen drum of Kaifeng Mansion with all his strength.
