Are the two of them working together to plot against us?
After going on and on, it seems like everyone here except the two of them has become a victim!
The Zhongshu Sect and the Privy Council are both the highest institutions of the central government. If they are both subject to judicial supervision, then other departments...
Wang Anshi's extreme one-for-one routine caused many people to break out in cold sweat and wipe their foreheads constantly. The more they talked, the more terrifying it became.
Although it was Han Qi, Fu Bi couldn't help but look at each other.
The presiding officer and the victim were stupidly confused.
This lawsuit is really deadly!
Fortunately, this cross-examination session has come to an end, so naturally the witness should return to the audience seat.
Phew...I can finally leave this hellish place.
Wang Anshi stood up and walked to the auditorium full of exhaustion. Sitting here for a moment, he felt much more tired than debating with others all day long!
"My teacher's answer just now is really wonderful."
When Lu Huiqing saw Wang Anshi approaching, he immediately stood up to greet him and said excitedly.
Judicial supervision doesn't matter, as long as everyone is treated equally, he can stand up to his Zhongshu disciples, and there is nothing to be afraid of if we set up the Ordinance Department of the second government.
After all, this is a new department and we don’t have any old accounts to settle.
Not sure about other departments.
But Wang Anshi just looked at him blankly: "Really?"
Lu Huiqing seemed to notice something was wrong with her mentor's expression, so she just nodded.
"Then you can go back next time."
After saying this, Wang Anshi sat down and yawned.
For him, this is really boring.
Because everything he said was Zhang Fei's explanation, and the other party didn't even ask anything new.
Although he answered the question, he lost his soul.
There is no gaming experience at all.
In a debate like this, he has to be the protagonist wherever he goes!
This time he was reduced to a passerby.
Lu Huiqing sat down with an awkward smile on her face.
Qian Yi was also sitting on the other side. Compared to Wang Anshi's fatigue, he was more sluggish and confused, and his mind was almost blank.
He didn't even remember what questions the other party asked, because those questions were very common, and he didn't know what he answered. It was too simple and he didn't need to think about it.
But why did it become like this.
Because judging from Fan Chunren’s question at the end, they had actually admitted defeat.
Fan Chunren asked whether he could still sue the Ordinance Department of the Second Government in the future, which meant that he himself did not think that the Ordinance Department of the Second Government would be revoked.
But most people didn't notice this clue, and they were still looking forward to a heated debate.
Because as far as custom is concerned, it was just an interrogation, and the key lies in the subsequent debate.
Literati are good at this.
But as the chief judges, Fu Bi and Han Qi knew that it was time to end.
He looked at Zhang Fei and then at Fan Chunren.
Let me summarize, get off work early and stop procrastinating.
Zhang Fei first glanced at Fan Chunren and saw that his eyes were a little dull, so he stood up first, glanced around, and saw that everyone was looking forward to it. He raised a smile of victory at the corner of his mouth, then looked at Han Qi and Fu Bi, only to see that
Listen to him speak in an orderly manner: "First of all, I want to explain that this is definitely a public trial that should not have existed. Because there is no ironclad evidence that can prove that the establishment of the Ordinance Department of the Second Government violated the laws of our ancestors.
Obviously, the other party just hopes to achieve its own political goals through litigation..."
"I object."
Fan Chunren stood up reflexively and shouted loudly.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile, ignored him at all, and said to himself: "I don't know whether the other party did it on purpose, or if he wanted to confuse the ancestral method with the ancestral system."
Why is he still talking?
Fan Chunren looked at Zhang Fei in surprise, then at Han Qi and Fu Bi. Seeing that the two presiding judges were indifferent, he suddenly realized that this had already entered the debate stage, so how could he object to the other party's explanation?
He sat down again.
But he didn't blush anymore, after all, he had just gone through the most embarrassing stage in his life.
He then heard Zhang Fei say: "But I want to explain here once again that the ancestral law and the ancestral system are not the same thing. The ancestral law cannot be changed. It is the fundamental law of the country, but the ancestral system can be changed. I
Almost every monarch in the Song Dynasty made certain adjustments to the national system.
The core idea of the ancestral law is to prevent bad government, that is to say, to prevent the emergence of bad government and to correct the current bad government. But whether it is prevention or correction, it means that there will definitely be changes.
At present, there are many ills in the country. This is the consensus of the government and the public. In response to the current ills, the officials and Wang Daxi have established the Ordinance Department of the Second Government to preside over reforms and promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages. This is definitely following the law of the ancestors. I believe Tai
My ancestor, Taizong, is still looking forward to seeing a rich and powerful Song Dynasty."
Fu Bi and Han Qi looked at each other and sighed.
Good guy!
The ancestral laws were determined last time, and the ancestral system was determined this time.
There are fewer and fewer reasons to restrict the emperor.
Zhang Fei lowered his head and glanced at some notes that Xu Zhiqian had just taken, and said: "The core of the question raised by the other party is that he believes that the power of the Regulations Department of the Second Government is too great and is not subject to checks and balances. If this is true, it is indeed a violation.
Follow the laws of our ancestors.”
He raised his head and smiled: "But unfortunately, this is a very, very ridiculous question. If they were during the period of Shang Yang's reform, or during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they would have been killed long ago.
But now, the other party directly brought the case to the court against the Ordinance Department of the Second Government, and the Political Consultant and the Great Scholar Wang had to testify in person, returning to some extremely difficult issues, not to mention that this is the first time in our dynasty.
For example, even in the most enlightened Zhenguan era, this did not happen.
This is like some cases that have happened in the past. Some royal relatives trampled on the cultivated land of farmers in the suburbs. After being stopped by the farmers, they actually angrily cursed those farmers as unruly people. It is really ridiculous!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Sporadic coughs suddenly sounded in the auditorium.
There are many royal family members sitting here.
Is it really okay if you name me like this without giving me any face?
But Zhang Fei didn't care so much, he did it on purpose, because the murderer who kidnapped Fang Yun was most likely sitting here. If he didn't say a few sarcastic words, how could he have the nerve to call himself Zhang San? Quan Dang didn't hear him, "That's why I'm not here."
In response to these doubts, too many explanations have been given, because this lawsuit has given the best explanation. The power to establish the Ordinance Department of the Second Government is absolutely very reasonable, and it is not so great as to violate the laws of the ancestors.
However, the power of some people should not be underestimated. They can take an innocent matter to court and treat a memorial that is only a suggestion as a legally binding document. This is undoubtedly the blessing of power, although it is not.
The issue of this public trial, but I think the two presiding judges should also examine this issue carefully. After all, the purpose of our ancestral law is to prevent corruption. I'm done."
After saying that, he sat down.
These words made many censors and officials blush and turn white.
You've already taken advantage of us, why do you want to step on our faces?
But the reformists felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
yes!
We have all been bullied like this by you, and we still have to be treated as evil people.
Zhang Fei is right, what's the difference between us and those farmers who were scolded by the emperor's relatives as unruly people?
What a deception!
Han Qi glanced at Zhang Fei, his eyes full of admiration. These words offended almost all the dignitaries present. He whispered to Fu Bi: "Fu Gong, please don't say anything about this kid from now on."
His courage is not as good as when I was young, and I am not as good as him."
Fu Bi smiled and said, "That's not entirely true. If he left the court, he wouldn't dare to say that."
After chatting for a while, the two of them looked at Fan Chunren again.
No.
All eyes were focused on Fan Chunren.
They are full of anger, but they can only hold it in. Now only Fan Chunren can help them fight back!
Fan Chunren sat for a while before standing up. He first glanced at Zhang Fei, and then said to Han Qi and Fu Bi: "Although I completely disagree with Zhang San's words, this is by no means an innocent matter. This public trial
It’s not meaningless. But even if it’s as Zhang San said, maybe this matter shouldn’t be brought to court, but the fault is not with us, but with the officials and Grand Scholar Wang.”
Fu Bi and Han Qi looked at each other, this is really a mountain as high as a mountain.
There you are insinuating the emperor's relatives, the censor's admonishment officer, you are good, just attack the emperor and the deputy prime minister directly.
Do you really need to be that strong?
This kind of thing is better to make money by being harmonious!
If the quarrel continues, no one will get any good results.
Zhao Xu, who was watching the interrogation in the hall, was actually shot while lying down. He grumbled in great displeasure: "These censors and admonishers are really good at framing others and slandering others."
However, the power of censors and admonishers is to point out the emperor's mistakes, and it is commonplace to criticize the emperor, especially in the Song Dynasty.
The most Zhao Xu could do was curse a few words behind his back to vent his anger, otherwise what could he do.
I heard Fan Chunren continue to say: "It is the official family and the Wang University Scholar. They lacked sufficient explanation and consultation with the ministers on the establishment of the Regulations Department of the Second Government and acted in a secretive manner. This will naturally arouse the suspicion of others.
If we encounter this kind of thing again next time, we will continue to file charges. This has nothing to do with the power, it only concerns the life of the world and the rise and fall of the country.
If some people hope to use this to scare us and shut our mouths, that is also wishful thinking. It is better to guard against people's mouths than against rivers, let alone a small ear pen."
With that said, he sat down.
But many of the spectators on both sides stood up, applauded and cheered for him.
"well said!"
"A better word to defend the people than to defend the river. Well said!"
"I will never be frightened by a little ear pen."
...
Zhang Fei looked at the excited officials and smiled disdainfully: "There have always been cheers from the victors, but today I can see the cheers from the losers." He then looked at the reformists behind him and secretly scorned, Damn! Are you all mute?
What a bunch of pig teammates.
Suddenly, he realized that there was no reaction from his side. He turned his head and saw Xu Zhiqian clenching her pink fists, staring straight at Fan Chunren. She seemed to be very excited and couldn't help shouting: "Hey!"
Xu Zhiqian was startled and turned her head to look at Zhang Fei, "What did you say?"
"Wow...you are not in Cao Ying but in Han, right?" Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian very suspiciously, but he could see nothing except his pure and cold face and those high peaks.
.
Xu Zhiqian's face turned red, "No...no."
Zhang Fei said: "Why aren't you so excited?"
"I...."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly turned her eyes and smiled slyly: "Because I think this is a good thing!"
"Good thing?"
Zhang Fei just wants to slap her, you traitor.
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "Of course it's a good thing! The more they come to file lawsuits, the more you can do business!"
Zhang Fei blinked and suddenly applauded: "Okay, okay! Well said! Great! I also support it, continue to sue."
Xu Zhiqian chuckled: "Profiteer."
What?
Erbi Zhang San is also applauding. Is he mocking us?
As soon as he clapped, the scene immediately became quiet.
Han Qi and Fu Bi also glared at him, this is the political hall, not the lobby of your home.
Zhang Fei put down his hand and said, "I think I was misunderstood."
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Xu, who was watching the trial in the hall, suddenly frowned when he heard this, turned around and walked towards the back door.
Lan Yuanzhen whispered: "Your Majesty, the verdict has not been announced yet."
Zhao Xu just turned his head to look at him, and then strode away.
Lan Yuan Zhendi muttered: "Who is this victim?"
Fu Bi and Han Qi, who were sitting in the presiding officer's seat, looked at each other. Fu Bi nodded, and Han Qi picked up the gavel and patted it.
There was a snap.
The scene gradually became quiet.
Han Qi said loudly: "After this interrogation, Mr. Fu and I both believe that establishing the Ordinance Department of the Second Government does not violate the laws of our ancestors."
