I remember that not long after the Public Security Bureau came out, the court officials were at a loss as to what to do. It took several years for them to slowly adapt.
At the same time, I also believe that this should be the complete form until Zhang Fei becomes the president of the court...
They suddenly felt that the curse on their heads became tighter, and the authority of the chief court president could actually influence some of the highest decisions of the court. This was something they never expected.
After experiencing the first two fires, they also came to their senses and vowed to prevent Zhang Fei from lighting the third fire.
Therefore, although Wen Yanbo only made a little noise, the ministers in the DPRK were as if their tails had been stepped on, and they were taken aback, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Wang Anshi originally wanted to give support, but after seeing everyone's reaction, he just expressed his support tactfully.
Wen Yanbo was under a lot of pressure, and people were nagging him almost every day. Whether it was for national interests or the authority of the political hall, Zhang Fei should not be allowed to succeed again.
Wen Yanbo didn't agree with Zhang Fei's suggestion. At the same time, he was also very curious about how the chief judge would interfere with the court's policy, and he was wary of it.
But while everyone was on tight guard, Zhang Fei acted very low-key and didn't seem to pay much attention to the matter, as if he was very abiding by the system of separation of politics and law.
However, he is not busy with the construction work of the Supreme Court. He is either taking care of the children at home, or working at the office or charity foundation. Anyway, it is more relaxed than before at the Procuratorate.
...
In the morning, Sima Guang hurried to the Supreme Court.
As soon as I started, I was stopped by a gentle middle-aged bachelor in his forties.
"Mr. Junshi is here."
"It's Gongsu!"
This person's name is Zheng Yong. He was originally from Zhongshushe. Recently, he was recommended by Sima Guang and came to the highest imperial court as a bachelor.
Zheng Yong stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Mr. Jun Shi is here to see the Chief Justice, right?"
Sima Guang nodded and asked: "How does Gong Su feel here?"
Zheng Yong said: "It's much more relaxed and comfortable than in Zhongshu Province."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
Zheng Yong smiled and nodded, "My immediate boss only comes here every now and then and doesn't assign tasks. How can I not be relaxed and at ease?"
"This brat."
Sima Guang said: "I will go talk to him now."
Zheng Yong smiled and nodded.
When I arrived at the inner hall, which is the office of the chief judge, I saw Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian were designing the decoration inside, but they had not noticed him yet.
"Ahem!"
"Bachelor Sima?"
Zhang Fei turned around and was startled when he saw Sima Guang suddenly appearing behind him.
Xu Zhiqian quickly stepped forward to salute, and then left the room by ordering someone to make tea for Sima Guang.
In fact, she was still afraid of being in the same room with big bosses like Sima Guang in this kind of office environment, because she knew in her heart that Sima Guang and the others would definitely not want to.
As soon as Xu Zhiqian left, Sima Guang said: "I only said that I would recommend talents for you, but I didn't say that I would help you with things. Why have you been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days?"
"nothing to do!"
With that said, Zhang Fei stretched out his hand again and said: "Sister Sima, please sit down first. Please sit down."
Sima Guang glared at him, and after sitting down, he said: "Being the president of the court means you have nothing to do?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The chief judge must be more relaxed than the ordinary chief judges. This year, there will be several lawsuits brought to the highest imperial court."
"Yeah?"
Sima Guang looked suspicious and said, "Aren't you planning some conspiracy again?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"do not you?"
"I...."
Zhang Fei said: "But I don't know what Bachelor Sima thinks I am planning?"
Sima Guang said: "The matter of Xizhou household registration."
"I knew that Academician Sima was going to say this."
Zhang Fei said helplessly: "Yes, I raised this matter, but it was President Lu and others who mentioned it to me first. I didn't think of it myself. I have already brought the matter to you. Next, we will see how the Political Affairs Hall handles it."
, has nothing to do with me anymore.”
Sima Guang chuckled, "I will still believe your nonsense. I have been fooled so many times. What are you planning on the northwest border?"
Zhang Fei sat down, sighed and shook his head again.
Sima Guang asked: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "It's okay if others don't understand me. I didn't expect you, Bachelor Sima, to understand me either."
Sima Guang smiled and said: "I know you so well that I am sure that you must be planning something behind this."
Zhang Fei said: "Why does everyone think it's me who is planning something? It's obviously them who are planning something. From the beginning to the end, I am the one who solves the problem, not the one who creates it."
Let’s talk about the Jianghuai tax case. They relied on their old age and were unwilling to pay taxes, which cost them their own lives. It turned out to be my problem.
In the Xizhou case, Judge Lu and Prosecutor Fan wanted to protect the businessmen in order to defend Confucianism and the local interests of Xizhou. I just supported them, and the result was my problem.
Now I finally understand why Academician Sima was unwilling to reform before. It turns out that this is the case. Whoever solves the problem becomes the problem."
After hearing this, Sima Guang couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Zhang Fei was unreasonable and said, "Also, even if Bachelor Sima doesn't believe me, he should believe Judge Lu, Chief Prosecutor Fan, Chief Prosecutor Su and others. If I am really in the northwest and am up to something conspiracy, can they not know about it?"
?”
After this barrage of questions, Sima Guang's face turned red, his eyebrows lowered and he remained silent, no different from before.
But Sima Guang also suddenly felt that this feeling was very familiar, and he raised his head suddenly, "Every time you say something plausibly, but the results always prove that you are just engaging in conspiracy, and in the end you have to explain it to me.
Think about it for yourself, is this the case?"
Damn! I wasn’t fooled by this. Zhang Fei’s eyes flashed a few times and he said again: “Senior Sima, you have always been upright and above board, and you hate evil as much as you hate evil, right?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sima Guang waved his hand and said: "Stop doing this."
Zhang Fei said: "I'm not flattering you, I'm just talking about the matter."
Sima Guang asked: "Then what do you want to say?"
Zhang Fei said: "What I want to say is that those who can get along well with Bachelor Sima are all gentlemen."
Sima Guang nodded and said, "That's true."
Zhang Fei said: "Then so do I."
"I, you."
Sima Guang couldn't help but feel very happy for this guy, "You are really shameless."
Zhang Fei said: "I just want to say, if I were the kind of person who engages in conspiracy and conspiracy every day, would Bachelor Sima still associate with me?"
Sima Guang was startled and couldn't help stroking his beard again.
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, it's not that I'm planning anything at all, but that they always want to deal with me, but in the end they don't succeed, so it turns out that I'm planning something. And the reason why everyone was shocked this time is just because I used the Chief Justice's
When power is solving problems, instead of winning by cleverness as before, they can't stand it even more. Bachelor Sima, you might as well think about whether this is the case."
Sima Guang thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is quite reasonable."
"That's it."
Zhang Fei sighed, "They are showing their teeth and claws there, and I don't want to talk to them. But this imperial court is located in the imperial city, and you can't see it when you look up, so I don't really want to come here recently."
"Stop making excuses. Among the officials, you take the most vacations."
Sima Guang glared at him and said, "Actually, I'm also worried about you causing trouble. I can rest assured about judicial matters, but don't get involved in military and national affairs."
Zhang Fei said: "Even if I get involved in this important military and national matter, I may not even be able to get away with it. If my influence affects the whole body, no matter how good I am, I still can't hide it from the truth."
Sima Guang thought about the same thing. If he wanted to send troops, it was no small matter. Military pay, troops, horses, and weapons all had to be mobilized. Su Che and Fan Zhen would definitely not tolerate it. Even if he was conspiring with the emperor, that would be a big deal.
You have to go through the Privy Council.
The problem is that things are calm both inside and outside the government. The Ministry of Revenue is busy with water transportation reform, the Third Department is busy with currency, and Privy Councilor Han Jiang is inspecting northern Xinjiang. There is really no sign of war.
"Okay, okay!"
Sima Guang said: "I must have misunderstood you."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Scholar Sima also cares about me."
"As long as you know."
Sima Guang sighed and murmured in his heart, this feeling seems familiar!
But it was undeniable that what Zhang Fei said was indeed reasonable, and he could not refute it.
Next, the two chatted about the staff arrangement of the Supreme Court, and then Sima Guang left.
"You are really amazing. I have fooled you so many times and you still succeed."
Xu Zhiqian quietly appeared behind Zhang Fei, looking at Sima Guang's back, she felt a little sympathetic.
Zhang Fei glanced at her and said, "Is it possible that what I said is all the truth, but those people are too arrogant."
...
Legislative Council.
"impossible!"
Wen Yanbo waved his hand and said, "That boy is definitely planning something. Jun Shi, it's not the first day you've met him. How could you still believe his lies?"
Mr. Lu on the side also nodded.
Sima Guang said: "But what he said is indeed reasonable. He is not the one who creates problems, he is the one who solves them."
Wen Yanbo asked rhetorically: "What issue in the current DPRK has nothing to do with him?"
Sima Guang was stunned again, it seemed to make sense, so he looked at Fu Bi, "What do you think, Mr. Fu?"
Fu Bi chuckled a few times: "I also agree with what Kuanfu said, at least this matter is definitely not that simple."
...
But Zhang Fei really didn't pay much attention to this matter, nor did he create public opinion. Every day was the same as usual, until a letter from the Xizhou Imperial Court broke the tranquility of this moment.
It turns out that since Xixia closed trade with Xizhou, Xizhou merchants also enthusiastically joined the smuggling brigade and clashed with Xixia soldiers at the border.
Some businessmen were caught by the police when they fled back to Xizhou to seek refuge, but it was difficult for the public prosecutor and law to do anything about it.
The reason lies in the identity of those merchants. They do not have Song Dynasty household registration, and most of them committed crimes in Xixia. Whether they are considered smuggling or illegal immigrants, the imperial court itself does not know whether they can control them.
Soon, there was a backlog of lawsuits.
This appeal first went to Zhao Pin. After Zhao Pin looked at it, he was confused because it was impossible to have such a dispute before, and the interim law did not provide for this.
So, he could only submit it to the Supreme Court, because he knew that Zhang Fei must have done this, and you must have a solution.
Who would have thought that after Zhang Fei received the lawsuit again, he went directly to the emperor to file a complaint without saying a word.
Zhao Xu also immediately held an important meeting because of this matter.
"President, what on earth is going on?"
Zhao Xu first asked Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty, when I inspected Xihe, Chief Judge Lu and Chief Prosecutor Fan of Xizhou discussed with me the household registration issue in the Xihe area, but this is not something that our imperial court can solve, because it requires improving the system and
Laws and household registration are the foundation of the country. They are all the responsibilities of the Political Affairs Hall and the Legislative Council. So after I came back, I immediately informed Duke Fu, Duke Wen, and Duke Wang about the matter, and also reminded them that the matter was very urgent.
, without delay.
But as of today, there is no movement at all in the Legislative Council and the Political Affairs Hall. The result is just as I expected. There is indeed a problem in Xizhou. I really have no choice. If the imperial court does not legislate and establish rules, the imperial court will not be able to judge at all.
, that’s why I came to His Majesty to seek justice.”
After Zhao Xu heard this, he looked at Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Wang Anshi, "Three ministers, is this possible?"
The three of them nodded at the same time.
Zhao Xu frowned, "I wonder if you guys have discussed the outcome?"
The three of them looked at each other.
They had been waiting for Zhang Fei to make a move and were on guard, but they didn't know that this guy didn't follow martial ethics and just came here to complain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is crazy...
Embarrassing!
Zhao Xu was quite dissatisfied and said: "When I wanted to separate Zhongshu's disciples, everyone thought that doing so would make government affairs more complicated. I followed your suggestions, but I never thought that this would not improve much."
After saying this, Wen Yanbo and the others blushed.
Zhao Xu asked Zhang Fei again: "Does the Chief Justice have any countermeasures?"
Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty, this is not my duty. I am not thinking about it at all. I have been busy with the construction of the Supreme Imperial Court."
As soon as these words came out, all the prime ministers glanced at Zhang Fei in surprise.
what's the situation?
They originally thought that Zhang Fei would give his own suggestions, but it turned out that he really didn't care.
The key is, are you also busy with the construction of the Supreme Imperial Court?
However, Zhang Fei continued to complain: "Your Majesty, there are only two presidents in the capital, but there are nearly ten in Chao Zhongguang who have the power of prime minister. It is unreasonable for the Supreme Court to resolve it!"
It's enough!
People are tough and can’t be broken down!
Wen Yanbo couldn't help it anymore. This kid was so abominable. He said: "Your Majesty, I have also discussed with everyone. They still believe that the Xihe area has been separated from the Central Plains for one or two hundred years. The local people are not Han people."
Lord, so they still think that a custodial system should be adopted."
While speaking, everyone glanced at Zhang Fei in tacit understanding, and saw Zhang Fei's face was calm, as if he was listening.
Wang Anshi immediately said: "But if the prison system is adopted, then a chief will be established. However, the Xihe area has already established public security laws and has tens of thousands of royal police. Everyone abides by the temporary law, which is not much different from Zhongyuan Prefecture and County.
, how to restrain the waist?”
Wen Yanbo said: "But our country only has a market system at the border, and foreign merchants can only trade in the market. The entire Xihe area is completely open to the outside world. If it is directly included in the Central Plains, doesn't it mean that all merchants from the Western Regions can
Free access to the Central Plains will leave many hidden dangers."
"It seems that you guys really didn't have a good discussion."
Zhao Xu was very angry and said: "But I heard that the court has been very lively recently. Now I want to know, what are you arguing about every day?"
There was silence in the hall.
They are deliberately trying to defend against the Chief Justice's third fire.
Zhao Xu felt sorry for him and said, "You must discuss it clearly first, and then come and talk to me."
"I obey."
Everyone said in unison.
Zhang Fei suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Xihe is already very chaotic. Judge Lu and Chief Prosecutor Fan are also very anxious. I also want to provide support, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If something goes wrong, it will not be a problem of the public prosecutor's system.
It was caused by the slackness of the Political Affairs Hall and the Legislative Council."
Zhao Xu first looked at Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo and others with great dissatisfaction, and then said to Zhang Fei: "President, please don't pass all the blame on the Political Affairs Hall and the Legislative Council. If the Political Affairs Hall and the Legislative Council can't come up with a solution,
You also have to pass judgment on this case, which is your authority."
"ah?"
"Um?"
"I obey."
After saying that, Zhao Xu stood up and left.
These last words undoubtedly hit Wen Yanbo and the others in the face.
If you can't, then let the chief judge make the decision.
After he left, countless murderous eyes were cast on Zhang Fei, and then he left angrily.
Zhang Fei came to Sima Guang with an aggrieved look on his face and said, "Sister Sima, you have seen everything. I, the chief judge, am really not a man of power. If I had just made the suggestion, it must have been my conspiracy, but now
Regardless, they still hold a grudge against me, what should I do?"
Sima Guang said: "You wouldn't talk to Wen Gong and others first...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fei said excitedly: "I discussed it with them, but after so many days, they didn't take it seriously at all. But our Public Security Bureau has always been famous for its efficiency. Judge Lu, Fan
The prosecutor-general has mentioned this matter time and time again, and I cannot ignore it, but if the court does not provide a policy, I have no choice but to ask the officials to uphold justice."
After Sima Guang was silent for a long time, he sighed: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. What suggestions do you have for this?"
Zhang Fei glanced outside and said in a low voice: "Sister Sima, I'm going to tell you the truth. I have a way, and I just proposed it. I don't want to be like them, taking matters into my own hands to get angry about national affairs.
But I really don’t have a good solution, because this kind of thing involves many problems, and I have never been in Bianzhou. I can only give some judicial suggestions, and I have already told Duke Wen and others about these suggestions.
"
Sima Guang nodded. At this point, if Zhang Fei really had an idea, he should put it forward at this time. But if he didn't mention it, maybe he didn't!
...
Xu Zun did not go to the procuratorate today and stayed at home, waiting for news about Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei had just returned home when Xu Zun asked: "How was it?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "What else can I do? The officials have taught a few of their prime ministers a lesson. I can tell that your Majesty has been holding back this tone for a long time!"
Xu Zun is not laughing, nor is he not smiling: "It is true that a wise man will always make mistakes. How can they expect it? Your third fire is just to burn on their heads."
Zhang Fei said: "It's all their own fault. If they don't work, others have to work more, and it becomes a struggle for power and profit.
In fact, it was nothing. When I discussed it with them, we were able to settle the matter together, but they just thought that this was my third ignition in taking office, and they were deliberately trying to guard against me. Now they are
It’s hard to get off a tiger.”
Xu Zundao: "But you should not be careless, otherwise they will adopt a restraint system to deal with you."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If they can return to the prison system, I will resign immediately and go back to work as an Erbi. After the procuratorate and law came out, the prison system will have no meaning. To say the least, that's what they want to do, Xi
The people of the state still don’t agree.”

Political Hall.
"Jun Shi, now that things have happened, are you still speaking for that kid?"
Wen Yanbo waited for Sima Guang angrily.
Sima Guang argued rationally: "I am just talking about the matter. How should I do this three to satisfy you?"
"you."
"okay."
Fu Bi interrupted the argument between the two of them, "In any case, if we could have come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, nothing like what happened today would have happened. It's not too late to make up for it now!"
By now, he had realized that Zhang Fei was actually sure that they would wait for him to take action first, but instead of taking action, he went to complain.
Be willing to admit defeat.
Lu Gongzhu asked: "What does Mr. Fu think of this?"
Fu Bi first glanced at Wen Yanbo and pondered for a while, "What Wang Jiefu said makes sense. The Public Security Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, and the Procuratorate have already controlled the Xihe area. If we want to return to the prison system, we must first withdraw the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Procuratorate. But this doesn't make sense at all.
, which is also unreasonable.
Originally, I thought it was good to maintain the status quo, and it was not that urgent. There was no need to change anything for the time being, but now it seems that this is not possible. The conflicts with Xixia there are so frequent now. If the public security law can only restrict it, the situation may be
It will really get further out of control.”
Lu Gong wrote: "But there are all Tubo and Dangxiang people over there. If they are allowed to enter and leave the Central Plains, it may endanger the stability of the Central Plains."
Fu Bi said: "In the past, the system of restraint was adopted because the systems, laws, customs and customs of the two places were different, and it was difficult for the court to control them. But now that we are all under the same system and under the same law, the risks are naturally there.
It’s reduced a lot.”
Everyone fell silent immediately.
In fact, everyone knows that Fu Bi hinted that Zhang Fei's suggestion was the most reasonable.
But the problem is that most ministers in the DPRK and China are still opposed. Doesn’t this allow Zhang Fei to succeed?
You can't do this!
But that doesn't work either, and that doesn't work either.
What to do?
In the past, if this happened, it would often take a long time and make a lot of noise, but it was different now. There was a chief judge standing next to them, holding a whip and watching them eagerly.
Zhao Xu made it very clear, if you can't solve the problem, let the chief judge solve it.
Don't delay.
What I want is a solution.
But those who oppose it cannot come up with a specific plan, so they only know that the prison system cannot be used in the Xihe area. The problem is that the prison system cannot be used in the Xihe area.
Lu Dajun and Fan Zhen came to appeal, but the answer you gave was to solve the problem for them both. That is indeed no problem.
Wen Yanbo was also exhausted mentally and physically.
Wang Anshi couldn't help it. He was also an efficiency minded and was annoyed by their quarrels. He held a meeting in the political hall. Zhang Fei's suggestion was the best solution.
In the prison system, not only can't you collect taxes, but you still have to pay. Now that we have the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department, there are more than one person, and we can collect an extra tax. What's wrong with that?
Anyone who is not from my race must have a different heart. People are willing to pay taxes to you in exchange for household registration. Even Tian Khan has not done this. What kind of bicycle do you want? Many people in the Central Plains have Song Dynasty household registration. They don’t want anything. Willing to pay taxes.
If you can't save face, then let me do it.
More than a dozen prime ministers can't come up with a solution, so they still have to let the president of the court make the decision. Isn't this a joke?
Wen Yanbo is also very angry now. He just let the news out a little bit, but the whole house in the middle of the court almost broke into a row. Now it's better, and everyone can't stand down.
There is really no future for hanging out with them.
Dry!
No matter what they do.
In the end, they put it all together and adopted Zhang Fei's suggestion, but it was definitely much more complicated than Zhang Fei said.
First of all, all the temporary Xizhou household registrations issued previously were changed to Song Dynasty household registrations.
At the same time, it is stipulated that if the tax has been paid for five years and there is no criminal behavior during the period, a temporary household registration will be given. This household registration can allow people to come to the Central Plains to do business, but they cannot take the scientific examination or become an official. At most, they can only serve as a royal policeman or an official. If soldiers have made great achievements, they will be given household registration in advance. Otherwise, they must pay for ten years before they can get the same Song Dynasty household registration as the people in the Central Plains.
Secondly, regarding the regulations of Xizhou, Xizhou still has to be open to the outside world, but the local government must give written ultimatums to merchants entering the Xihe area to facilitate public security and law enforcement. At the same time, it is stipulated that foreign businessmen in Xihe must also abide by the temporary law. Everyone is treated equally, but they can only stop at Xizhou. If they want to enter the Central Plains, they still have to apply to the local government, and they have also established a very strict review system.
For example, if you want to come to the capital, it is useless for Xihe to agree. You must also get the permission from the capital.
