Why Zhang Fei dares to say it is because he is just saying it. This is the Legislative Council, not the imperial court. He does not have the authority of Hezhong Mansion to decide the matter with a hammer, so no matter how bad he says,
However good it is, the final decision lies with the Legislative Council.
This pressure is entirely on the Legislative Council.
But isn't this the original intention of Fu Bi in arranging Zhang Fei to go to the procuratorate?
In the capital, your authority and qualifications are not enough to convince the public. Your judgment will inevitably be questioned by many, so the Procuratorate is more suitable for you. The real power should return to the Legislative Council.
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
Next comes the time to test the Legislative Council.
At this time, Fu Bi ignored his headache and came to Zhao Xu and asked, "Does the official have anything to say?"
Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "I haven't been able to fully understand President Zhang's explanation for a while. If there are any results in the legislation, Mr. Fu will have to come and explain it to me."
The implication is that I don’t want to take the blame for this, you guys have to figure it out yourself.
Fu Bi could only hold up his hands and say: "Old minister, take your orders."
Zhao Xu stood up and said, "I will go back to the palace first."
"Old minister, I respectfully send you to your official home."
Zhao Xu immediately stood up and left.
The ministers looked at Zhao Xu one after another, hoping to understand a little bit of holy meaning from his back.
After Zhao Xu left, Fu Bi announced that the legislative session was over for today.
Of course, the Legislative Council cannot only be open for one day. It must be open until before the New Year. There are many issues to be discussed, but today is Zhang Fei's special session.
As soon as Zhao Xu left, two large groups immediately formed in the room.
The reformists surrounded Wang Anshi, while the conservatives surrounded Sima Guang.
All of them had worried faces.
Because Zhang Fei's theory touches everyone's interests, it's not just a matter of redundant officials. In normal times, if you want to charge more money, it may not work.
What's the meaning.
"Sister Sima, Zhang San's remarks are very dangerous and should not be attempted lightly."
"What he said makes sense, but it will offend a lot of people."
"That kid just keeps talking, but it's us who offend others. He's so cunning."
...
All in all, in short, it is inevitable for human beings to be so sophisticated. This precedent will make the public prosecutor and the law walk on thin ice and will inevitably make more people oppose the public prosecutor and the law.
Everyone suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Sima Guang glanced at him and said: "Everyone knows what is going on in Qingzhou. They are the ones who forced us into this situation. Do we have to bow our heads and admit defeat?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, Ouch! Isn't this the solution to Qingzhou's problem?
Core conservatives such as Liu Shu immediately demanded that the Qingzhou government directly restructure its debt.
Yes, they forced this.
Moreover, if you don't do this, the public security organs and law enforcement agencies in Qingzhou will definitely be in a dilemma.
Nowadays, the situation in Qingzhou is already very serious. Under Lu Huiqing's control, the government demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall. Instead, it became heavily in debt. If the debt was not reorganized, or the court did not save it, the public security, procuratorate, and law would definitely be finished, and it would be difficult to advance or retreat.
It's a dead end.
But it is impossible for the court to save him. Even if the emperor is willing, Sima Guang will not be willing, because as long as the court takes action, the Qingzhou Rebellion will be all blamed on the public prosecutor and the law. Fan Chunren and his career will face a big blow. Sima Guang
It is also impossible for Fan Chunren and others to bear the responsibility.
Only by restructuring the debt and starting over can we control the situation and avoid the destruction of the public security organs and law. It can also reduce the burden on the government, increase future finances, and turn defeat into victory.
More importantly, in this debt restructuring, the most injured ones are the government officials, because the main redundant officials are concentrated in the government. After all, the Public Security Bureau has just been established, and there is no possibility of redundant officials. They are also responsible for the debt restructuring, so the debt restructuring will not be possible.
Is it just to retaliate against others and let them reap the consequences?
This is fun to think about. Although it will also affect their interests, if they fail, the consequences they will face will be more serious.
The party struggle has reached this point, we must not be merciful and live first.
Conservatives have supported Zhang Fei's remarks.
Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu both saw it and roughly understood Zhang Fei's approach. This was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
...
Over there, Deng Wan, Pei Wen and other reformists also advised Wang Anshi not to believe Zhang Fei, as this guy was full of bad intentions.
If officials were to be laid off, how great would be the resistance!
Who will support your reforms?
You have to think this through.
Wang Anshi stroked his beard and laughed: "Why don't you listen? That's well said! It's really well said!"
Deng Wan wondered: "Where did Mr. Wang start talking about this?"
Wang Anshi said: "Just now Zhang San has always stressed that repaying debts is a matter of course and cannot be defaulted. The government should do this, and the people should do the same even more. In Qingzhou, the government owes money to the people, but in other states on Jingdong East Road
The government is not the money that the government owes the people, but the money that the people owe the government. To explain this, the chaos on Jingdong East Road is not because of the New Deal, so it is better to let them help us ask for it. Do we want to get it?
We all win."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
They only focused on the money that the government owed, and did not think that the people owed the government money as well.
After understanding this principle, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
Let the public security bureau and the procuratorate get it. If you want to get it without causing turmoil, that's up to you. But they all believe that the situation on Jingdong East Road is very serious and it is unlikely that they will get it.
If it is not possible, it proves that Zhang Fei's theory is untenable and self-defeating.
Deng Wan suddenly asked: "What about the Qingzhou problem?"
Meng Qiansheng glanced at Sima Guang and immediately said: "The other party will definitely ask for Qingzhou to reorganize its debt based on Zhang Fei's precedent."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone else looked at Wang Anshi again.
Debt restructuring is scary.
Wang Anshi frowned and said: "Yes, they will definitely do this, and then take the opportunity to eradicate our people, but first they have to solve the debt problem on Jingdong East Road. This precedent is to treat everyone equally."
Even so, everyone still looked very solemn.
If they really solve it, then don’t we all have to go home and raise pigs?
This is the Legislative Council, not the Political Affairs Hall, and it is not meant to resolve a political dispute. Once what Zhang Fei said becomes law, it will be really terrible.
Many people's eyes turned to Fu Bi, who was talking to Zhang Fei at this time.
"Alas...you really don't make people worry!" Fu Bi couldn't help but said with sincerity.
It has to be said that Zhang Fei's theory exceeded his expectations. It is much more severe than cutting officials, because it will touch on the unique exploitation system of feudal society. Debt restructuring can be carried out regardless of redundant officials, as long as the financial system
Something went wrong.
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "What is the king of bachelor?"
Fu Bi was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard, thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "But you have to understand that Wang Jiefu is not ignorant of the root cause of the three redundant talents. It is precisely because he did not dare to touch this issue that he raised the issue of people's dissatisfaction."
The idea of increasing taxes and using the resources of the country."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I know."
Fu Bi asked curiously: "Even Wang Jiefu is afraid, aren't you?"
Zhang Fei said: "But I don't want to advocate the layoff of officials. I also know that there will be great resistance to this. I still want to consolidate the legal system, the public security system, and the law, but I want to be able to truly govern the country according to law."
Fu Bi said: "Really rule the country according to law?"
Zhang Fei nodded: "I faced many problems in Hezhong Mansion, but I never held the relevant officials accountable. Of course, on the one hand, I did not want the conflict to intensify, but on the other hand, I also considered their difficulties. Because among them
Many problems are caused by finance forcing officials to break the law. The reason why this is the case is that there is no final solution mechanism.
As long as there is a problem with the government's finances, it must be transferred to the people, and it will definitely violate the law, and ultimately the government will force the people to rebel. Although this kind of thing has happened many times in our court, there has never been a solution mechanism that can avoid this in the long term.
question.
More importantly, this will eventually lead to the judiciary facing impact at all times. As the same saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want finances, you must undermine the judiciary. If this problem is not solved, the public prosecutors and the law will not be able to gain a foothold.
"
Fu Bi nodded lightly. Anyone who has read the precedents of Hezhong Prefecture knows that most officials use financial problems to provide legal support for their illegal activities. This is also the biggest problem Zhang Fei faces in Hezhong Prefecture.
If it weren't for Yuan Jiang's policies, Zhang Fei might not have ended up like that.
This is also the reason why many people question the public prosecutor's law.
They believe that the public security bureaucracy and law will destroy the administrative system, because the root cause of many problems lies in the court. If the government is held accountable, it will be difficult for the government to make a difference, and the finances will face a greater crisis, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
The success of Hezhong Prefecture is entirely dependent on personal ability, and it does not mean that Bidezhou Prefecture can also succeed.
If we want to replicate the success of Hezhong Prefecture, we can only introduce a bankruptcy bill, which will make the requirements for officials' abilities very strict.
But you can't easily get money from the people, so you can only think of other ways.
Zhang Fei continued: "Even ordinary people know that if the income decreases and there is no way to increase it for a while, the expenditure must be reduced, and the country should do the same. This case is not to cut officials, but to protect the country.
There is really no other way to avoid perishing because of this, so it is better to do this than to force the people to rebel."
This bill may not be used, but it cannot be left out. If it is not included, the government will inevitably force the people to rebel.
Fu Bi nodded and asked: "What you said makes sense, but do you think the Legislative Council can pass it?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern."
Fu Bi laughed and said: "What a good person who is not in his position and does not seek his own government!"
This sentence also applies to him, because the Legislative Council cannot be decided by him. It must obtain the consent of many people.
Normally, it would definitely not be possible.
But if the current situation cannot be overcome, the problems faced by Jingdong East Road will not be solved.
However, most people do not want the JD East Road problem to be solved. They just want the reformists and conservatives to die together. Moreover, they will never support the debt restructuring plan.
Although Wang Anshi believes that this case can be used to help promote Chang Pingsi to collect money.
But they are not stupid. The problems on Jingdong East Road are only temporary after all. But if this bill is passed, it will be like putting a rope around their necks and threatening their lives at any time.
Therefore, immediately after the end of the legislative session, many ministers filed a petition to impeach Zhang Fei for his monstrous words to deceive the public, in order to destroy the laws of the ancestors, and directly asked the emperor to interrogate Zhang Fei.
In fact, they also know that it is difficult to hold Zhang Fei accountable at present, because Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both support him. They just want to tell the emperor that he must not do this. If he does this, the consequences will be very serious.
.
However, at this critical moment, two waves of refugees from Jingdong East Road entered the capital unknowingly. What was even more terrifying was that they were still behind, directly surrounding Wang Anshi's mansion and Sima Guang's mansion.
.
Although the imperial army soon arrived and captured all these refugees.
But this still caused great panic.
In ancient times, it was very rare to leave one's hometown. Although it was relatively easy in the Song Dynasty, these two groups of refugees combined totaled nearly two hundred people. They actually passed through numerous obstacles silently, appeared in the capital, and handed over the Prime Minister's
The mansion was surrounded.
The people were all dumbfounded!
Is this the opposite?
However, the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government had long heard the news that some people would come to the capital to complain. They had also secretly provided support before, so that the states and counties along the way could not stop them.
Because these two waves of refugees came from other prefectures and counties in Qingzhou and Jingdong East Road.
The people who surrounded Wang Anshi were the people of Qizhou and Dengzhou. That Qingmiao method was just what you came up with, but it ended up ruining my family.
And those who surrounded Sima Guang were the government officials and cavalry soldiers in Qingzhou. It was your judicial reform that cost us all our military pay.
Although the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were not very capable, they could not be allowed to march straight in. As long as they were not blind, they would have been able to spot them. There was only one reason: someone must have secretly escorted them in.
The person who can have this power must be the prime minister, and it is not just one person, it must be a group of people.
Originally, many opponents of reform were looking forward to this day, but it happened after the Legislative Assembly. This, um... is a bit subtle.
What they expected was that if these people came to complain, but both sides were unable to solve these problems, then the emperor would inevitably be forced by the people's complaints, and at least they would have to fight fifty times each.
But now there is a way to solve it, it just depends on whether both parties are willing to cooperate.
Then this becomes an opportunity for cooperation between the two parties.
After Zhao Xu learned about this incident, he immediately issued an order to have the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law investigate the matter thoroughly immediately.
This immediately triggered panic.
Zhang family.
"Dad, what's going on now?"
Seeing Xu Zun coming back, Xu Zhiqian immediately greeted him and asked with concern on his face.
Xu Zun glared at her and said, "Now you have to raise your baby with peace of mind and stop asking about these things."
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and looked at Zhang Fei aggrievedly.
Zhang Fei smiled and asked: "Father-in-law, how is the investigation going so far?"
Xu Zun sat down and said, "This situation is a bit complicated. According to what the people said, if we really want to investigate, many officials may be implicated."
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Is it so serious?"
Xu Zun nodded and said: "This involves forcing others to borrow money, raising interest rates through conversion and losses, and grabbing more fields to repay the loans, etc. If there is a real investigation, it may be revealed
out of hand."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "My son-in-law thinks so. No matter what, the procuratorate must enforce the law impartially."
Xu Zun hesitated and said, "You are trying to force them to accept debt restructuring."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "My son-in-law just provides two ladders for Bachelor Wang and Bachelor Sima."
...
Prince's Mansion.
"Teacher, there is a letter from Zhang Zihou."
Lu Huiqing hurriedly handed a letter to Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi received the letter and before he opened it, Lu Huiqing couldn't wait to say: "The officials on Jingdong East Road all know that people have come to the capital to complain. Now they are all panic-stricken and asking Zhang Zihou for help. They all say that they are just
We fully support Qingmiaofa, so we hope that our mentor can save them once."
After Wang Anshi heard this, he didn't bother to read it. He threw the letter aside and said, "Do they sincerely support the New Deal, or do they want to kill people with a borrowed knife?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "But they will definitely support cooperation with the other party now. Although the debt restructuring is difficult for them to accept, if this matter is not handled well, they may face jail time."
In fact, the officials on Jingdong East Road did not expect that the commotion would be so big, and they could not handle it for a long time. Now the people have even sued the capital, and they only want to protect themselves.
No matter what the conditions are, they will agree. Being laid off is better than going to Qiongzhou to log trees. Besides, the financial situation of Jingdong East Road is far from reaching the stage of debt restructuring.
The officials in Qingzhou are doing this shit to us and will kill fellow Taoists rather than poor Taoists.
And this is tantamount to providing support to Wang Anshi, thereby blocking the mouths of officials such as Meng Qiansheng.
Many officials involved in this case have filed a case in support of Zhang Fei. Their reason is that we officials are unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. The people have no money to repay their debts. If we do not force them, we will be negligent in our duties. If we force them, it will lead to Public resentment.
Give us this precedent, and we can make decisions in accordance with the law.
Must be supported.
Wang Anshi nodded, "Go talk to Xu Zhongtu and see how much evidence the procuratorate currently has."
Lu Huiqing said: "Students know."
The Procuratorate has not yet conducted an in-depth investigation. What we know so far is only the one-sided words of those common people. Xu Zun also informed the emperor of the origins of these common people. At the same time, it appeared that the situation on Jingdong East Road was already quite serious and needed to be dealt with immediately.
Zhao Xu also immediately held a meeting.
Chui Gong Hall.
"What exactly is going on?"
Zhao Xu took a memorial, slammed it on the table, and questioned all the ministers.
Sima Guang was the first to stand up, "What happened in Qingzhou today is exactly what President Zhang said in the Legislative Council that day. Due to the long-term arrears of military pay, those soldiers and government officials came to the capital to appeal. I sincerely request your Majesty to urge the Legislative Council to quickly pass the debt restructuring. Jurisprudence so that the government can have countermeasures."
Pei Wen immediately stood up and said: "Sima's words are wrong. Before the public prosecutor and the law went to Qingzhou, Qingzhou had been doing well. How can we explain this?"
Sima Guang said: "Why didn't Pei Yushi say anything? As soon as the Public Security Bureau went to Qingzhou, thousands of people appealed. It can be seen that the problem in Qingzhou is urgent. I also know what the Yushitai was doing before?"
Wen Yanbo immediately stood up and said: "I am guilty."
After all, Wen Yanbo is the boss of Yushitai. He admits his mistake, and Pei Wen can't say much.
Zhao Xu immediately said: "This is not the time to ask questions, but to solve these problems immediately."
Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty is wise, the public prosecutors and the law enforce the law impartially in Qingzhou. This turmoil is not caused by unjust cases. Fortunately, the public prosecutors and the law have gone away. Otherwise, in another year or two, the government may force the people to rebel."
What nonsense!
Many ministers knew that Sima Guang was just making alarmist remarks. If the public security organs and the procuratorate did not take action, it would not be possible for the government to force the people to rebel in ten or twenty years, not to mention one or two years.
Because all this turmoil was secretly controlled by them.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to cause such a big fuss.
Meng Qiansheng immediately stood up and said: "The problem needs to be solved, but it does not mean that we need to use debt restructuring. This is absolutely unfeasible. It will make the court lose all support. I hope your majesty will be cautious."
Xie Jun echoed: "Many local governments are already facing very difficult finances. The government offices are in ruins and are not even as good as private houses. This is not because the officials lack ability, but because they are trying to meet the needs of the capital. It is really unfair to determine the ability of officials based on finances."
ah!"
Immediately many people stood up to support Xie Yun.
These people already know what Wang Anshi and others think, and now they can only rely on themselves to save themselves, and they must prevent the passing of this precedent.
Moreover, these words are also threatening. The requirements of the capital are too high, so local officials can only ask for it from the people. If you do this, you will be killing the donkey. In the future, no local officials will help you make money.
Sima Guang stood up and retorted: "But if there is no debt restructuring, there are only two ways, either the government will default on the debt and indicate that it will not compensate. Or the court will allocate money to rescue. But if the court allocates money to rescue, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
At that time, many local officials will follow suit, squander their finances, and then wait for the court to rescue them."
Liu Shu and others immediately stood up to express their support.
This is all your own fault. If you didn't provoke those people to appeal, how could Qingzhou's debt become like this?
Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Fu Bi and asked: "Mr. Fu, what does the Legislative Council think about this?"
Fu Bi said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the Legislative Council conducted an anonymous vote on this precedent, and the majority of them supported this precedent."
Meng Qiansheng was surprised and said: "How is this possible?"
Fu Bi said: "This is the fact. If you don't believe it, you can go investigate."
Meng Qiansheng soon realized that there are many candidates in the Legislative Council. Candidates want to pursue high positions, and all of them are pretentious. If you can't get down, how can we get up?
Of course, young people pursue those who are capable, because if they are ranked based on seniority, then they can only wait.
Also, most of the officials in the Legislative Council are middle and low-level officials, and they do all the dirty work. It is precisely because of this that he is confident that he can rise to the position based on his ability, and it is also in their interests.
In addition, most of the officials are conservative. After all, Fu Bi is in control of the Legislative Council. They must protect Fan Chunren and others, and are also very dissatisfied with the practices of the reformists.
What is ridiculous is that some officials on the reformist side also hope to pass, especially the judicial officials on Jingdong East Road. They now want to protect themselves. For these reasons, this must be passed by a majority.
Zhao Xu asked again: "What does Mr. Fu think of this?"
Fu Bi said bluntly: "The veteran supports it."
Zhao Xu exclaimed: "Really?"
Fu Bi nodded and said: "Because this case of President Zhang is based on a very serious situation. Many rebellions in history are due to local financial difficulties, a vicious circle, which eventually led to the government forcing the people to rebel, and the court sent troops to suppress it, and allocated money to appease it.
, which in turn will worsen the financial situation and even face the risk of national subjugation.
But there has always been no good way to deal with this kind of situation. The veteran believes that this precedent can be used without it, and the veteran does not recommend using this precedent to solve financial problems, but it cannot be done without it, because it can indeed be used in times of crisis.
To prevent the situation from getting worse."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly.
Sima Guang immediately said: "Now Qingzhou's financial situation has reached a very critical moment. Water transportation has been stopped. Next year's tax revenue may not be available. If this precedent is not used, a mutiny or civil commotion is very likely to occur. .”
Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked: "Do you have any solutions?"
There was a silence in response to him.
If there is no default and no exploitation, there is no solution to this problem.
Because with their efforts, Qingzhou's problems have become very serious, but now they regret it.
They just wanted to kill the public prosecutor and the law in one fell swoop. They did so recklessly, and they would definitely destroy Qingzhou's finances.
After all, it was just a state. If the imperial court really wanted to save it, it could still be saved.
Who knew that Zhang Fei would propose debt restructuring? This hammer directly hit him in the foot.
It really cost my life!
Meng Qiansheng stubbornly resisted and said: "The current problem in Qingzhou can only be caused by the imperial court allocating money."
Zhao Xu said: "Didn't you just hear what Bachelor Sima said? If the imperial court allocates money, the consequences will be even more disastrous."
"...!"
This time there was complete silence.
Zhao Xu waited for a while and said: "Let's do this. We will implement debt restructuring in Qingzhou for the time being. If it works, the Legislative Council will legislate on this."
Sima Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Wang Anshi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to what President Zhang said, debt restructuring is first applied to the people, so it is applied to the government. For example, the crisis in Qizhou and Dengzhou was because the people owed money to the government and refused to pay. If you don’t repay it, logically speaking, that’s how it should be!”
Sima Guang immediately retorted: "The crisis in Qizhou and Dengzhou is clearly caused by the government forcing the wealthy households to share equally."
Although they already have a tacit understanding of exchange, they still have to fight when they should.
Wang Anshi said: "The Public Security Bureau is all about evidence. How can you conclude that the government forced others to borrow money? It was all done voluntarily by them. If so, the Public Security Bureau can enforce the law impartially. But for those who voluntarily borrow money and are unable to repay it, the Public Security Bureau should also do it for them." The government will recover the debt."
Immediately, a large number of people came forward to support Wang Anshi.
Sima Guang said: "Qizhou and Dengzhou have no public security organs."
Wang Anshi said: "That's also because of your problem. You are slow to popularize the law, but you are eager to legislate in the court. If you do this, you will mess up the country."
More people came forward to support it, and said that the current scale of the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Legislative Council was so small that the Legislative Council should not rush to legislate.
In the current situation, they also know that they can't stop it, so they wait until this wave of crisis has passed before they come out to stop it. It won't be so difficult.
Zhao Xu immediately said: "Sister Sima, I hope you can immediately popularize the public prosecutor's law on Jingdong East Road and assist the government in recovering the Qingmiao money."
"I obey."
Sima Guang reluctantly bowed his hand and said immediately: "Your Majesty, according to the jurisprudence of debt restructuring, the imperial court can only make judgments according to the law. Debt restructuring is the authority of the government. The public prosecutor and the law can only enforce the law impartially and cannot interfere."
Zhao Xu looked at Wang Anshi again.
After Wang Anshi hesitated for a while, he said: "I thought the Qingzhou Transfer Envoy could solve Qingzhou's problems."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me again this time."
At this time, Liu Zhao, a member of Zhongshushe, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the problem on Jingdong East Road is not only debt, but also taxation."
Zhao Xu asked anxiously: "What good advice do you have?"
Liu Zhaodao: "For the present plan, the only way is to arrange for the tax department to come over."
Many people opened their eyes and wanted to stand up and object. However, Zhao Xu spoke very fast and without thinking, "Accurate!"
Snap!
Several pieces of fluorene board fell directly to the ground.
This is really losing your wife and losing your troops!
