Chapter 153: The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.
In fact, when this incident first happened, Zhang Fei felt very confused and scared.
Because he cannot make the decision on this matter, even if he is willing to give up, Wang Anshi will not be willing. If he does not communicate with Wang Anshi in advance, Wang Anshi will ask to postpone the trial in court.
Fang Yun is still in danger.
It was Xu Zun's words that woke him up.
This is a lawsuit, not a court debate, nor a traditional power game.
Since it is a lawsuit, it is purely a legal issue.
If it's a matter of law, you have to follow the rules. If you violate the laws of your ancestors, it doesn't matter. Just admit your mistake, change the name, and change the term.
Of course Wang Anshi agreed.
This is simply a sure win. Litigation is risky after all.
Moreover, it can also be used to recruit some young officials who really support the new law into the Ordinance Department of the Second Government.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
When you are in good times, everyone wants to take refuge in you, but those who are willing to support you in times of crisis are naturally trustworthy.
"Sanlang, this...what does this mean?"
Fan Li looked at the contract and was very confused.
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government hired their Bianjing Law Firm to litigate with the imperial court?
this....
I have never encountered such a situation!
Haven't even thought about it.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Isn't it written very clearly above that the members are illiterate?"
"Of course I know all these words, but..." Fan Li's scalp was almost scratched, but when these words were put together, he couldn't understand it, so he asked: "This..."
.How should this lawsuit be fought?”
"How to fight?" Zhang Fei smiled: "It depends on how they want to fight. The soldiers will come to defeat the enemy, and the water will come to the weir. I plan to play with them slowly. If a thousand-guan lawsuit ends too quickly,
People will think we are scamming money.”
Play with them slowly?
Fan Li took a breath of air, and it seemed that the more he played, the more he played.
Can this really be done?
Zhang Fei also knew that this kind of thing was difficult for him, so he said: "Don't be afraid, we are also helping officials fight lawsuits. Although the other party is not easy to mess with, it is the court, but life is only a few decades, otherwise it will be glorious.
Once, your life will be wasted!"
Fan Li ideally wanted to help the emperor fight a lawsuit with the court.
this....
This is really exciting!
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "By the way! How is the business in the store?"
Fan Li was startled and sighed: "Is this... can this be any better? To be honest, we have never done this kind of business. When it's good, we can earn thousands of dollars a day. When it's not, we can make thousands of dollars a day.
, but I couldn’t even receive a penny, not even a customer.”
Zhang Fei frowned and asked again: "How about this person's recruitment?"
Fan Li sighed: "It's all the same."
Zhang Fei frowned and sighed: "It won't work if this goes on!"
He originally filed the lawsuit for the development of the firm, but as a result, the business was cut off once he filed the lawsuit. If he kept doing this, who would dare to come here?
Scared to death.
The key is that you, Zhang Fei, don’t have much to offer.
As long as Li Guozhong and others also develop tax calculation business, they will soon be able to snatch away these businesses.
Although they are relatively weak, they are relatively stable in the end.
Fan Li said frustratedly: "What can we do?"
You are playing such a big game, who dares to come?
They just wanted to calculate a tax, but as a result they offended most of the officials in the court. The officials will protect you, but who will protect them!
The risks are not proportional to the benefits!
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Li and thought, these wealthy businessmen and citizens are all very shrewd and good at adapting to the changing circumstances. They are extremely unstable customers. Now that our foundation is not stable, we cannot rely on them. We must develop
Only a stable basic market can avoid this roller coaster ride. A stable basic market...
After thinking for a while, he said to Fan Li: "I will take care of this matter. You can recruit people with peace of mind."
Fan Li asked: "Shouldn't you handle the lawsuit?"
Zhang Fei said: "That's just a small problem."
"...?"
...
But there is no need for Fan Li to feel inferior because of this. He is afraid and does not understand. That is what he should be doing and it is natural.
Because most of the officials in the DPRK and China don’t understand it and don’t know what to do next?
In the past, the basic process for this kind of thing was that the censor would submit a report to the admonishment officer, and then the prime minister would take action, quote scriptures, analyze the pros and cons, provide arguments, and provide evidence, and finally force the emperor to withdraw his order.
This is good!
But now this process is obsolete.
useless.
To deal with this set of procedures, the emperor only said one sentence: Do you think it is illegal to set up the Ordinance Department of the Second Government?
Then let’s file a lawsuit!
If you win a lawsuit in court, then let's change it!
You are so confident in your words that you cannot be afraid of going to court to litigate!
This leads to the fact that the censors and admonishers are unable to do anything!
Court of Trial.
"As the king of a country, an official should resort to such rogue tactics. It is really ridiculous. If we cannot dissuade him in time, we will be serving as a minister in vain."
Fan Chunren was furious and shouted about filial piety.
Sima Guang glanced at him and said, "Fan Sijian, be careful what you say."
Liu Shu hurriedly said: "In my opinion, Wang Anshi must have deceived the officials to do such deviant things. But we must not let Wang Anshi succeed. If this is the case, this country will have no national law and the family will have no law."
Family rules will definitely bring chaos to the world."
Wen Yanbo glanced at Liu Shu and said, "Didn't you understand just now? The officials want to take this matter to justice."
Fan Chunren said: "Actually, we are not afraid of resorting to justice. This is also a way to solve the problem. But the problem is that it doesn't matter if we win the lawsuit. The officials can just change their names when the time comes. This will have no effect."
Sima Guang glanced at them and said: "Then let's forget it. In my opinion...!"
"How could I forget it?"
Fan Chunren interrupted him directly, "If this sets a precedent, it will be fine. Then the officials can do whatever they want, and no one can stop it."
Sima Guang originally wanted to say that they would ignore this matter. After all, Wang Anshi had only established a temporary organization before he started to change the law. If he continued like this, he would make the matter worse.
It is better to wait until the new law comes out. If the new law comes out and it really benefits the country and the people, then you will have no shame in staying in the government.
But when the matter has reached this point, it is impossible to persuade them to give in.
This actually involves the struggle between monarchy and ministerial power. If we compromise like this, it will severely damage the power of the admonishers and censors.
Not to mention that Fan Chunren and the others did not agree, even if they agreed, the other ministers would not be able to agree. This would be equivalent to vomiting out everything they had eaten.
This is so uncomfortable.
Sima Guang thought for a while and said: "But the officials have made it very clear. If you are not convinced, you can only continue to resort to justice. There is no other way."
The emperor is so enlightened (arrogant). If you are dissatisfied, you can sue me.
It doesn't matter how much you talk.
Then you can only sue him.
Fan Chunren was about to say that this was meaningless, he could just change his name!
Wen Yanbo raised his hand to stop him, and then asked Sima Guang: "Jun Shi, if we win, can we introduce an example to break the law? If we can introduce an example to break the law, we can avoid the officials from constantly changing names to promote this matter.
.”
Sima Guang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Logically speaking, this should be possible. After all, there are almost no laws and regulations in this area."
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly and said: "In that case, let's fight another lawsuit. After all, we did not win the last time."
Sima Guang seemed a little hesitant. There was Zhang San behind Wang Anshi. He was the one who made this exception. Could he have thought of this?
But it was difficult for him to say these words, so he looked at Fan Chunren and the others.
Fan Chunren hesitated for a while and said: "We are not afraid of going to court. We just hope to stop the officials from doing this wantonly."
Liu Shu suddenly asked: "But where can we go to litigate?"
This sentence immediately confused everyone sitting there.
yes!
Where can I file a complaint?
We ourselves are the supreme judges of the Song Dynasty.
If it weren't for the government on the other side, we could have won directly.
The only people above the Supreme Judge are officials.
I went to complain to the officials again, and the defendant was an official. Isn’t this a closed loop?
this.......
Sima Guang thought about it and said: "We can only ask the officials to temporarily open a court in the court, and then appoint people to try it."
Liu Shu asked again: "Then who should judge?"
The judges are all here too.
Let's examine it!
There is no way the other party can agree!
Wen Yanbo sighed: "It seems that we can only continue to ask the rich man to come forward."
However, this seems to be just their wishful thinking. Most officials are unwilling to resort to justice again. We have already won. It is the emperor and Wang Anshi who do not respect martial ethics and are playing this rogue trick. If they resort to justice here, wouldn't it be right?
His heart.
There was a huge quarrel between the DPRK and China over this.
The emperor was asked to convene a general meeting and conduct a court debate.
Shenzong has always maintained a law-abiding attitude. If you accuse someone of violating the law, you should resort to justice, or do you mean to let me decide?
The emperor's attitude made them very depressed.
Very tolerant, very open, very fair and just!
But Wang Anshi only said one sentence to the outside world: I have no time not to argue with you. Regarding judicial issues, please ask me for help.
But Chen Shengzhi, who co-chairs the Ordinance Department of the Second Government, expressed panic about this.
He has never seen this kind of gameplay before.
Political Hall.
"Jiefu, is it okay to keep making trouble like this?" Chen Shengzhi asked slightly anxiously.
Wang Anshi sighed: "Brother Chen, to be fair, what did I do wrong? Are they justified in making such a fuss?"
Chen Shengzhi nodded and said: "They are indeed unreasonable, but it is not an option to continue making trouble like this."
Wang Anshi said: "But if we follow them to make trouble, nothing will be done. The officials have entrusted us to reform the law and bring benefits and eliminate disadvantages, not to argue with them. In addition, I have entrusted Bianjing Law Firm to help
We deal with these issues. We have to prepare for new laws quickly."
Chen Shengzhi said: "If this matter is not clarified, can we implement the new law?"
Wang Anshi said: "Of course we can! According to the law, the court has not yet judged that our establishment of the Ordinance Department of the Second Government violated the laws of our ancestors, so of course we have the power to implement the new law."
