After the verdict was pronounced, Han Qi and Fu Bi stood up and left.
Not a single word was said.
You must know that when the two of them were young, their eloquence was rare in the entire literary world of the Song Dynasty.
They didn't come up with a summary because Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren had already said it very thoroughly, and any more words would be redundant.
Naturally, the reformists were very happy about this verdict. Many of them believed that, as Zhang Fei said, this was simply an unnecessary lawsuit and was simply the other party's messing around.
Neutrals like Su Shi were also very satisfied with this. At least this lawsuit confirmed the power to establish the Ordinance Department of the second government and the method of supervision.
This is very important.
Mutual checks and balances are derived from ancestral laws. This political idea is also deeply rooted in the ideas of the literati of the Song Dynasty.
The conservative side looked very frustrated, but that doesn't mean that the goal was not achieved. In fact, they were able to accept the outcome of this lawsuit. After all, they also gained something.
What they couldn't accept was that this time they really lost to Zhang Fei openly in court.
It can even be said that he was humiliated.
Especially the officials of Jianyuan and Yushitai. They have always talked to each other until they had nothing to say, but today they were defeated by an ear pen.
What a shame!
As for Zhang Fei...!
"Money is real, love is fake, there is no attachment, a thousand years ago, you are not you, I am not me..."
I saw Zhang Fei standing behind the table, shaking his head and singing, while packing up his essays.
Xu Zhiqian, who was standing next to him, looked at him with a strange look on his face. He felt that Zhang Fei in the courtroom was completely different from Zhang Fei in real life, and said disdainfully: "What are the words you sing? It's really unpleasant. Nowadays
There are some civil and military ministers here, and if anyone hears them, they will have to teach you a lesson."
As she spoke, she glanced around, as if she was getting angry looks from everywhere.
For many of the emperor's relatives and officials, they were very unhappy with this result, but it did not mean that it was unfair, but that it was too just and had even infringed on the power in their hands.
This is what they are very worried about.
"Teach me a lesson?"
Zhang Fei smiled.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Don't forget, the lawsuit is now over."
"Uh... It's more elegant, right? Yes." Zhang Fei continued to sing: "When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine..."
"Zhang San."
An arrogant voice stopped Zhang Fei's singing.
I turned my head to look and saw Su Shi walking over. I felt an inexplicable thump in my heart. Hey! The real master is here, but we can't sing randomly.
Su Shi came over and said with a smile: "What a great line, 'When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine.' Did you write this?"
How shameless! Zhang Fei couldn't help but cursed secretly, but he didn't know whether it was better to nod or shake his head.
Xu Zhiqian, who was standing next to her, smiled narrowly and said, "80% of it was copied by him."
"What was copied?"
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said: "I was just in the mood, but..." He turned his head and looked at Su Shi, "But I was interrupted by Mr. Su. Mr. Su, you have to compensate me.
"
Su Shi was surprised and said: "I will give you a song as a reward?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course, just start with these two sentences, and I'll be forgiven for one."
Su Shi joked: "If I don't compensate, you won't sue me, right?"
"Not necessarily." Zhang Fei chuckled.
"Then I have to compensate!" Su Shi smiled and nodded, just one sentence, why is it so difficult, and asked: "However, your litigation skills are really superb and breathtaking. I wonder if you are
Who do you study under?"
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "What? Mr. Su also wants to learn this litigation technique?"
Su Shi nodded and smiled: "I'm quite interested."
This lawsuit really aroused a lot of interest in him, after all, he is also a talkative person.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I don't dare to accept Mr. Su as my disciple."
"I didn't say I wanted to..." As soon as the words came out, Su Shi was stunned and asked: "You didn't create this technique by yourself, right?"
Xu Zhiqian also tilted her head and looked at Zhang Fei curiously.
Zhang Fei nodded: "Exactly."
Su Shi felt incredible and asked: "How did you..."
Zhang Fei replied simply and clearly: "I am forced by life."
"ah?"
Su Shi was startled for a moment, then laughed and said: "What a saying because of the pressure of life...!"
While I was talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew past the side, carrying a smell.
The three of them turned their heads to look and saw Wang Anshi swinging his sleeves and striding outside.
Wen Yanbo happened to be seen by Wen Yanbo who had just stood up. He couldn't help but frowned, "What? Is Wang Jiefu not satisfied with this verdict?"
Sima Guang looked up, stroked his beard and laughed.
Wen Yanbo asked curiously: "Why is Junshi laughing?"
Sima Guang chuckled: "He is not dissatisfied with the verdict, but feels aggrieved. Since he took part in the imperial examination, Wang Jiefu has been a leader among people. He has few opponents in debates, but now he is honest and honest.
Sitting here, being interrogated by Fan Chunren and Zhang Fei for nearly an hour, can you feel happy?"
"I see!"
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and laughed, and suddenly said to Sima Guang: "Actually, you, Sima Junshi, are the biggest winner in this lawsuit!"
Sima Guang asked: "How can Mr. Wen say this?"
Wen Yanbo said: "I just made it very clear that the only person who can supervise the establishment of the Ordinance Department of the second government is the judiciary. After this battle, many officials will definitely pay attention to the law. Isn't this what you want?"
Sima Guang sighed: "But this road is not so easy!"
Wen Yanbo asked curiously: "Didn't you still swear by it before?"
Sima Guang sighed: "But a little village woman almost made all of this go to waste."
"Village woman?"
Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment and then said: "Are you talking about Dengzhou Ayun?"
Sima Guang nodded and said: "If it weren't for Zhang San's cleverness, this situation would have been irreversible."
.....
Over there, Su Shi was called away by Su Che for a moment, and Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian had already finished cleaning up.
Just as I walked out of my seat, I happened to meet Fan Chunren and Qian Yi.
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Fan Sijian is truly worthy of being the son of Duke Fan. He has performed so well since his first appearance in class and has learned well. Grant, grant."
Fan Chunren is also at an age where he is not confused, but now the court is filled with elders from three dynasties, which makes him very low-ranking. Hearing a junior talking to him like this, and also mentioning his father, made him feel ashamed and angry, "This
I am convinced that I lost, but I will never lose to you next time. The law is fair and you cannot keep winning."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Although I can't always win, I can't lose next time. Although Fan Sijian performed well, he only forced me to succeed once and for all, and he didn't even break a sweat."
"Don't be so arrogant," Qian Yi next to him said angrily.
Zhang Fei was not afraid at all and said with a smile: "It is better to defend the mouth of the people than to guard the rivers. Qian Yushi will not allow me, a commoner, to tell the truth, right?"
"you...."
This sentence left Qian Yi speechless.
If the censor doesn't allow others to speak, isn't that a slap in the face?
Xu Zhiqian, who was standing next to him, pulled down his sleeve and whispered: "Stop saying a few words and go back quickly!"
Zhang Fei glanced at her, thinking, don't bring a wave of hatred to his benefactor, and said to Fan Chunren and Qian Yi: "Goodbye, little man."
He left together with Xu Zhiqian.
"You have already won the lawsuit, why do you still want to talk so fast? Do you have to offend everyone?"
Xu Zhiqian frowned.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "What do you know? I am pushing them to make progress."
Are you going to encourage the imperial officials to make progress? Xu Zhiqian rolled his eyes for a moment, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Qian'er."
Xu Zhiqian turned her head and saw Xu Zun and Liu Zhao standing in the corridor. They immediately walked over.
"I have met Liu Sheren, my benefactor."
Zhang Fei bowed his hand.
Liu Zhao smiled and said: "Zhang San, your lawsuit is really getting bigger and bigger. It started from the Court of Justice to the Political Hall."
Zhang Fei said helplessly: "I don't want to do it either, but the great scholar Wang gave me too much."
"Too much?" Liu Zhao was stunned at first, and then realized that Zhang Fei was a smart person, and he litigated for money. Almost everyone ignored this and couldn't help laughing.
.
Xu Zun said angrily and funny: "You kid won't get carried away, right?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "No! I was just joking."
Liu Zhao waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's the first time I've seen him, and he also had the same tone."
Xu Zun said again: "Zhang San, you go back alone first. Qian'er will sit with me, Liu She, later."
"Oh well!"
Zhang Fei nodded, took the article from Xu Zhiqian's hand, and said with a smile: "Ms. Xu, you have to be more careful."
Xu Zhiqian asked in astonishment: "What should I pay attention to?"
"Feet! Don't you have a sprained foot?" Zhang Fei pointed at her foot.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly remembered the embarrassed look just now, stamped her feet fiercely, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, why don't you leave quickly."
"It seems to have healed."
Zhang Fei laughed evilly, nodded to Xu Zun and Liu Zhao, and then left with those articles in his arms.
Xu Zun glanced at Liu Zhao, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
...
Fan Chunren, Qian Yi and the others did not leave, because this political hall was their territory. If things like this happened, a meeting must be held immediately to review it!
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"
Wen Yanbo paced back and forth in the hall, furious and said: "The admonishment court and the censor's desk are no match for a small ear pen. How can we have the confidence to speak in front of officials in the future? This is simply a shame and a great humiliation!"
Zhao Peng, who was in charge of the Remonstrance Court, also shook his head and sighed in annoyance.
Fan Chunren's face was full of embarrassment, and he bowed his hands to everyone and said: "It's Chunren's fault. I let you down. I'm really sorry."
The entire lawsuit plan was his idea, and he was very confident before going to court.
But as soon as the results came up, he was fooled by Zhang Fei. Later, he learned from Zhang Fei and gained a little face.
Liu Shu, who is Fan Chunren's friend, quickly said: "Fan Sijian doesn't need to apologize. In fact, this lawsuit is not easy to fight. It is already very difficult to go to court. Alas...it's just that we are the imperial court." Mingguan, it doesn’t look good if you lose to an ear pen.”
"But if we really talk about it, this is not the first time we have lost."
Qi Hui said anxiously: "A mere ear pen can actually influence the court's policies. If this continues, what should we do?"
As soon as these words came out, many people sighed and fell silent.
Last time in the Ancestral Law lawsuit, they, the judges, were ostensibly jurors, but in fact they were Zhang Fei's opponents. In the end, they were defeated and fled in embarrassment.
The nightmare comes again today.
The key point is that this lawsuit is becoming more and more horrific. Although this lawsuit is the result of a struggle between the two sides, it seems to have destroyed the original system.
Zhao Pian sighed and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if they lose the lawsuit, but just now in court, they stated that the only person who can supervise the establishment of the Ordinance Department of the Second Government is the judiciary. It seems that they plan to rely on Zhang San in the future."
Fan Chunren said excitedly: "Next time I will never lose to Zhang San again."
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Sima Guang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I remember when I played against Zhang San for the first time, he once ridiculed me for being unprofessional. Now that I think about it, this is really the case.
Litigation is a matter of litigation, which is very different from the court defense we are familiar with. In court, quoting scriptures and collections of poems are of little use. The law is the only one you can rely on. If you don’t want to make the same mistakes again, you have to study litigation hard.
Study, there is great knowledge here."
Wen Yanbo asked: "Jun Shi, what do you think?"
Sima Guang pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "It just so happens that I am also preparing for judicial reform and I also need some judicial talents. I plan to ask the officials to expand the discipline of litigation in the Imperial College and cultivate specialized judicial talents."
Zhao Pian nodded and said: "I agree with this. If we set this precedent today, we will inevitably encounter it again in the future."
...
"Cousin, did you lose the lawsuit?"
When Mrs. Wang saw Wang Anshi returning home angrily, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"Won!"
Wang Anshi said angrily.
Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "I won, why are you so angry?"
Wang Anshi danced his sleeves: "I am angry with that boy Zhang San."
Mrs. Wang was even more curious when she heard this, "Didn't he help you? Since we won the battle, he should have contributed a lot!"
"He deserves all the credit, but I have lost all face. When have I, Wang Anshi, been treated like this? I can only be beaten and cannot fight back. It is really unreasonable."
"I don't understand what you are saying."
Mrs. Wang shook her head. As far as she was concerned, winning was enough, and then said, "I'll get you some hot water."
Wang Anshi was startled, as if he remembered something, and said: "Boil the water, I want to take a bath today."
Mrs. Wang was shocked and looked at Wang Anshi in shock, "Cousin, what did you just say?"
Wang Anshi said: "I said I want to take a bath!"
He actually mentioned that he wanted to take a bath? Mrs. Wang subconsciously raised her eyes to the sky, and the sun didn't come out from the west either! Or...
Mrs. Wang's face turned slightly red.
...
"Huh? I...I don't think I came this way!"
Although the Song Dynasty palace is not big, it is still easy to get lost if you are not familiar with it. The key point is that Zhang Fei is just an ear pen, not an official. He must be led by a dedicated person when entering and exiting, and he cannot wander around at will.
But as he walked, Zhang Fei suddenly found that the surrounding environment became more and more unfamiliar, and Xu Zhiqian was not around, so he couldn't help but cheer up.
The eunuch who led the way said: "This is not the first time you have come back. You still don't know that there is no one way in and out of the imperial city."
"Yes...really? Sorry, I don't remember much."
Zhang Fei smiled and tried to think back, but he couldn't remember clearly.
As he was thinking about this, he suddenly found that he had entered a small courtyard without knowing it. Looking around, he saw that there was only a small attic in the courtyard, "Where is this?"
Bang.
The courtyard door suddenly closed.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Fei, who had been attacked several times, suddenly became anxious and ran towards the door.
Suddenly someone upstairs said: "Don't be afraid, I asked them to bring you here."
Zhang Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, "Be good, if you want to find me, just say it bluntly, why should I be so mysterious? It's a TV series, it really scares me to death."
