Everyone guessed the outcome, but no one guessed the process.
No one could have imagined in advance that the final word would be a memorial by Cao Dongdong.
But I have to say that this memorial was really wonderful, and the process was much better than everyone expected.
Because Zhang Fei has gained so much momentum recently, if the court explicitly adopts Zhang Fei's legal system, it will break the Confucian tradition of respecting the elderly.
After all, Zhang Fei is still too young. Although brothers like Su Shi and Su Zhe are also very young and talented, there are still people above them who can suppress them. Zhang Fei's legal system cannot suppress them at all, because they
It is impossible to create a new idea to compare with it.
Although Cao Dongdong was young and a dandy, and few ministers in the court liked Cao Dongdong, his memorial stated that the emperor had already had this intention and attributed the rule of law to the emperor.
Although everyone knew in their hearts that the police station and Zhang Fei were inextricably linked, at least on the surface it was the emperor's decision, and Zhang Fei was just secretly adding fuel to the flames.
All in all, all in all.
I just can't let this young man get up.
Therefore, after the dynasty dispersed, ministers came to Cao Ping one after another to congratulate him.
A tiger father has no dog sons!
The general has no dogs!
What a load of flattery.
Cao Ping knew very well that their purpose of praising Cao Dongdong was to suppress Zhang Fei, but he was also very happy.
That scoundrel can be regarded as earning some face for the Cao family.
Sima Guang glanced at Cao Ping who was surrounded by everyone, smiled and quietly walked out of the hall with Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi.
"I didn't expect that the rich would break the situation with Cao Dongdong's memorial."
Sima Guang laughed and said: "This move is really wonderful!"
Fu Bi wrote lightly: "You have to consider their feelings."
The beauty of this memorial is that it can start directly from the police station without mentioning Zhang Fei.
In this way, obstacles will be reduced.
Fu Bi learned a lesson when he was young. Now he knows that he cannot rush forward regardless of thinking that he is right. He must also take care of everyone's emotions.
Of course, those people are not stupid. At this time, they just agreed to give it a try, but whether they are opposed or supportive depends on how Fu Bi and the others will practice the law.
After all, there are still quite a few people who support the idea of careful punishment and light punishment. They believe that today's punishments are too severe, and the country has stabilized, so there is no need to govern the country with more laws.
Wen Yanbo suddenly said: "But are the titles of Royal Police and Imperial Court too arrogant? During the Zhenguan period, even Tang Taizong did not dare to clearly state that "Tang Lv Shu Yi" was the king's law, but was called
The law of the world."
Sima Guang also frowned slightly.
This group of people still want to limit the imperial power in their hearts. If the legal system means that the emperor protects the people, the law will be integrated with the emperor and return to the old path of Legalism.
This is what they have been guarding against.
They tried every means to reject the emperor's order, just to be on guard.
Fu Bi smiled and nodded: "I also know what you are worried about, and I have carefully considered this, but as Zhang San said in class, the rule of law can only come from the desire of officials to protect the people. Otherwise,
If so, many concepts of the legal system will become unknown and cannot be explained as the laws of heaven, and Zhang San's life will be at risk."
"Only with this explanation can we thoroughly implement the legal system. Then officials will not be able to break their word and violate this principle."
"That's it!" Wen Yanbo nodded.
This is to promote the emperor. When the emperor wants to go back on his word, they can also use this as a way to refute the emperor.
Little did they know that this was also Zhao Xu's intention to tie ropes for them.
When Cao Ping returned to the house, he saw Cao Dongdong coming out again. He fully understood why he was so frightened when he went to court. Without saying a word, he directly carried Cao Dongdong in with one hand.
When he came to the house, he threw the brat to the ground and raised his hand to beat him.
"You traitor!"
"Dad, don't fight. Zhang San encouraged the child to read the memorial."
Cao Dongdong was well prepared and sold Zhang Fei directly without any hesitation.
As expected, it was Na Erbi who was planning the plot from behind. Cao Ping put down his hand, pointed at Cao Dongdong and yelled angrily: "Do you have any brains at all? You will do whatever Zhang San asks you to do?"
Cao Dongdong hurriedly explained: "It's not that the child listened to him, but that he gave the child advice and repaid the child for accompanying him in jail. The child also decided to do this after careful consideration."
"After careful consideration, you still hide it from me?"
Cao Ping became even more angry when he heard this. If you are ignorant and haven't thought about it that much, that's it. You have thought about it carefully. What do you want to do? Are you in charge?
Cao Dongdong further explained: "Dad, don't blame me. There is a reason why the child hides it from his father."
"what reason?"
Cao Ping asked.
Cao Dongdong said: "Even if it is not good for the child to receive this memorial, those uncles and uncles will not be as knowledgeable as the child. After all, the child is still young. But if it is the father, it will be different. They will definitely impeach the father. But if
If it's good, they will definitely praise daddy."
Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly softened a lot, "Is this what Zhang San taught you?"
Cao Dongdong said arrogantly: "Can Zhang San teach a child about this? This is a child's experience."
Cao Pingcuo said in astonishment: "Experience?"
"Um."
Cao Dongdong nodded: "Dad will be impeached if he buys several acres of land in the government office. The child gets into trouble every day, and they don't care about the child. Zhang San is an Erbi, how can he understand?"
Is this okay?
Cao Ping even laughed angrily, "You also know that you get into trouble every day?"
Cao Dongdong realized that he had let the matter slip, "Actually, it is Xiaoma who really likes to get into trouble, and the child is just helping Xiaoma."
"Pony is really lucky to have you as his brother!"
Cao Ping couldn't help but look at him with contempt and said: "You should get up first."
"Why!"
Cao Dongdong quickly got up, but his hands were still in a defensive posture.
The corner of Cao Ping's mouth twitched, and he simply went to the front seat, sat down, and asked: "Did you think of the royal police and the imperial court, or did Zhang San teach you?"
Cao Dongdong said: "Zhang San just asked my child to file a petition to support the rule of law in the name of the police station, but the child would not fully believe him, so the child and Xiao Ma went to discuss with Xiaochun again. This Royal Police and Imperial Court are Xiaochun.
I came up with it. We are trying to flatter the officials. Even if those uncles and uncles don't like it, the officials won't blame the child."
"You brats are quite clever."
Cao Ping pointed at Cao Dongdong and said with a smile.
Cao Dongdong saw that his face had changed and he quickly asked: "Dad, what did the officials say?"
Cao commented: "The officials and uncles are full of praise for you, and the rich men have expressed their support for your suggestion."
"Yeah?"
Cao Dongdong covered his face and said happily, "Even the rich man supports me. Hehehe, the rich man has never supported my father."
Cao Ping's expression changed and he said: "It won't be long before my aunt may call you into the palace and ask you about this matter. What will you say then?"
Cao Dongdong put down his hand and said seriously: "Dad has a good education."
Cao Ping nodded: "I guess you have some filial piety."
Cao Dongdong suddenly thought of something, "Dad, have we stolen Zhang San's limelight?"
Cao Ping laughed and said, "I didn't even mention Zhang San."
"Very good!"
Cao Dongdong waved his fists excitedly.
In the evening, Alum Tower.
"How about it?"
Fu Shichun completely ignored the fine wine and food on the table and looked at Cao Dongdong nervously.
Cao Dongdong was expressionless at first, but suddenly he grinned, "Dad said that the officials and uncles all praised my memorial, and the rich man also fully supported my suggestion. This is a treatment that my father has never enjoyed.
."
"real?"
Ma Xiaoyi jumped on the chair and asked excitedly: "Are we going to be the Royal Police from now on?"
Cao Dongdong chuckled and said: "My father said that most likely this will not change."
"Royal Police! Haha, I am the Royal Police now."
Ma Xiaoyi stood on the chair, dancing with excitement.
Fu Shichun still asked nervously: "Would that steal Zhang San's limelight?"
Cao Dongdong chuckled, "I didn't even mention it."
"good!"
Fu Shichun slapped the table, "I, Fu Shichun, can be regarded as having my great revenge avenged. That's great!"
When Ma Xiaoyi heard this, he said, "Brother Xiaochun, the three of us came up with the idea together last time. We can't blame the third brother alone for getting you in."
Fu Shichun was stunned for a moment and looked at the two of them. Yes, he couldn't just retaliate against Zhang San, and he couldn't let these two birdmen go either.
Last time he was arrested for no reason and had a fight with Zhang Fei and the others, which made him depressed for several days. Unlike Cao Dongdong, he cherished his clothes and reputation, so he was always planning to take revenge.
go back.
Little did he know, this would really help Zhang Fei a lot.
Zhang Fei wants to hide it now.
If you take too long a step, you can easily pull your eggs.
This was also beyond Zhao Xu's expectation. Although he also liked what the royal police and the imperial court said, this plan was Zhang Fei's idea. After returning, he still found Zhang Fei and asked him about it.
"Royal police?"
Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Xu with a confused expression.
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "What? Isn't this what you thought?"
"Yes, no, no."
Zhang Fei said: "I did ask Cao Dongdong to submit a memorial to support the rule of law, but the royal police and the imperial court are not my responsibility. How dare I use the name of the royal family to discuss with them."
Zhao Xu asked again: "Then what do you think?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Okay! This is a great idea. This will give the people the confidence to rely on the legal system to defend their rights and interests, because the officials are protecting them. In fact, I said this in class.
"
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile and asked: "Then do you know that this memorial of his has completely covered your limelight?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "That would be even better. This is exactly what I hope for."
Seeing that Zhang Fei was really happy, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said: "How many people dream of such a reputation, but you are so generous, this is really incredible."
Zhang Fei said: "In my opinion, this kind of reputation is of little use now. Even if your name is recorded in history books, you may be ridiculed by future generations. Only when the country is strong can you have the dignity to enjoy these reputations."
Zhao Xu was startled. After a while, he suddenly slammed the table and said excitedly: "Based on your words, I saw the right person. I'd like to toast you."
The conversation between them has always been limited to governing the country. This is the first time that Zhang Fei has expressed his position on foreign affairs.
confidant!
Absolute confidant!
After raising his glass and drinking, Zhao Xu nodded firmly: "Yes! Only by defeating the enemies in the north like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, will all this become meaningful."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I think it can be said that all this will make it more meaningful for the official family to defeat Liao and Xixia in the future. Then Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty here, and if the official family can do
If you do this, it will be even better.”
Zhao Xu pondered for a while, then laughed and said: "Okay! Well said! One word from you is worth ten years of reading. I will toast you again."
Drink it!
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Cao Dongdong has performed so well. I wonder how the officials plan to reward him?"
Zhao Xu was stunned and asked: "What do you suggest?"
Zhang Fei said: "Why don't you reward him and join me as an official in another place?"
Zhao Xu was amused when he heard this, "Is this a reward? It seems you still care about it."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "I really don't mind, this is a trip at public expense, isn't it a reward?"
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Yes! Let's travel to Longtan Huxu."
