Chapter 146 An Eye For An Eye
Not out of Zhongshu.
This sentence is not ordinary!
Among the four prime ministers in the current dynasty, Tang Jie is in charge of the three divisions, Zhao Bian is in charge of the Jianyuan, and Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang are in charge of the Shumen.
Because now the three provinces and six ministries are useless, and the ones who are really in charge of the administrative power are the disciples of Zhongshu.
It's just that Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang are both old and don't care much about government affairs. The administrative power is actually in the hands of Shenzhizhengshi, and Wang Anshi himself is Shenzhizhengshi. This edict, logically speaking, is impossible stopped.
Unless the prime minister comes forward in person.
Although they are all in a semi-retired state, they are prime ministers after all, and they are the nominal bosses. Coupled with his status and prestige, they are quite influential as long as they speak.
Then the one who stopped the edict was not Fu Bi, but Zeng Gongliang.
But because Zeng Gongliang has always been in a state of invisibility on this matter, he seldom comes to meetings. Although Fu Bi did not explicitly support or oppose it, after returning to Beijing, he had more contacts with conservatives and kept a distance from Wang Anshi. .
It can be seen that he is inclined to conservative.
Lu Gong knew in his heart that this was probably stopped by Fu Bi.
This is very surprising, because Fu Bi was unwilling to come back before, but Shenzong forcibly called him back, which shows that he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
No one thought that Fu Bi would make a sudden move at this critical moment.
From the beginning, the prime minister came forward.
Mr. Lu couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat for Wang Anshi.
Can this go on?
When Qian Wei beat the drumstick, the situation in the court suddenly changed, turbulent and treacherous.
In the past, whether it was the censor or the admonisher, they all impeached Wang Anshi for playing power, violating the ancestral system, and having a heart of disobedience.
But the problem is that the emperor only set up a division, and the manpower has not yet been recruited.
Even centrists felt the reaction from these conservatives was too radical.
But now the entire conservative faction suddenly turned their guns and demanded a public trial of the case.
Zhang Fei can sue, but Qian Yi can't?
If you really serve the country and the people and have no selfish intentions, why don't you dare to go to court to argue.
What did you say when Wang Anshi supported Zhang Fei?
When it's your turn, you don't want to.
In particular, the emperor quietly ordered the Kaifeng government to sentence Qian Yi severely. This was really shameless, which caused the neutrals to gradually fall to the conservative side.
Is it okay to be reasonable?
You can't have double standards in life.
In fact, Fu Bi was still secretly appeasing everyone's emotions. The emperor has made up his mind, no matter whether he agrees or disagrees, let Wang Anshi have a try first.
He was so afraid that the court would split and the party struggle would begin again.
He is deeply aware of the internal friction of party struggle to the country, which is very terrible.
If Qian Yi was really sent directly to the frontier, this matter might not be able to pass.
Because at that time, everyone will be in danger, and they will hold together to keep warm, and the party struggle will start again.
Therefore, Fu Bi stepped forward directly and stopped the edict.
At the same time, Zhao Chan also stood up to speak for Qian Yi.
Among the four prime ministers, only Zeng Gongliang remained silent. Tang Jie wanted to speak out, but the problem was that his body would not allow it.
Regardless of whether they have real power or not, but given their status here, it is impossible for Zhao Xu to demote all the prime ministers at once.
Things have not come to this stage.
Zhao Xu was forced to have no choice but to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.
Hanging Palace.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, wise monarchs have never punished the censors with their words. Whether they are right or wrong, this is their duty. If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark. If they don't speak, Your Majesty will not be able to hear the voices of the people in the world. Now that the Yushi is forced to take off his official robe and go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, this will surely make posterity ridicule, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting."
Zhao Bian said to Zhao Xu earnestly.
"President Zhao's words are wrong."
Wang Anshi immediately stood up and said: "That's right, the censor is the eyes and ears of your majesty, so you should choose the censor carefully. Those who harbor evil intentions and wrong intentions must never take up this position, such as Qian Wei and other treacherous people. To confuse the crowd and destroy the harmony of the court, how can he be left in Yushitai."
Zhao Yan said: "Qian Wei is not the only one who opposes the establishment of the Three Divisions and Regulations Division, and the Prime Minister also opposes it. Are they all traitors? Or are those who oppose you, Wang Anshi, traitors."
Wang Anshi nodded: "Yes."
Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are all stupid, you are so inflated!
Zhao Yan frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty launched my reform, aiming at the country's bad governance, in order to make every effort to govern, enrich the country and strengthen the army. And everyone sitting here should also know that the three disasters have reached the point where they have to be governed. Zeng Ye They both proposed reform and reform, but they are not the same as my Wang Anshi's ideas.
But they vetoed it together with His Majesty's determination to govern, just because they didn't like me, Wang Anshi.They also said that I, Wang Anshi, was arrogant and unreasonable, but they were the ones who were really selfish. "
Even before my new law came out, you started to oppose it. You are clearly targeting people!
Wen Yanbo immediately retorted: "What they object to is not the reform, but the country's permanent system. If you want to reform, it should also be presided over by the second government. Like Fan Gong's reform before, there is no separate department. If the censors are right If you don't say anything after hearing this, that is the crime of dereliction of duty."
Wang Anshi immediately asked, "Did Fan Gong's reform succeed?"
This sentence left Wen Yanbo speechless.
Wang Anshi asked again: "If I learn from Duke Fan, will the result change? It is precisely after learning from Duke Fan that I ask Your Majesty to set up another division."
He actually spoke to Fu Bi. After all, Wen Yanbo didn't participate much at the time, and Fu Bi was the mainstay of Qingli's gentlemen.
Fu Bi was embarrassed and remained silent.
They did fail.
Wang Anshi was justifiable and unforgiving, "At that time, many censors impeached Fan Gong. Do you agree with those charges? It also puts the country in jeopardy, and the building is about to collapse, but now you want me to be like Fan Gong, what's the reason?"
You are not done yet.Fu Bi gradually became a little upset. Fan Zhongyan was his confidant, best friend, and even a comrade in arms. He was someone he respected very much. It was really too much to always use Fan Gong as a negative example.
He smiled and nodded and said: "You are very reasonable. What Duke Fan did is really not worth learning. After all, Duke Fan failed. Then we might as well do the opposite. The Secretary of the Department of Justice is the leader of the horse, and he obeys orders, what do you think?"
Wang Anshi's heart trembled, "Anshi definitely doesn't mean that."
Zhao Xu glanced at Fu Bi, said nothing, and thought, Mr. Fu is old and strong!
Fu Bi showed an amiable smile: "As for Wang Xueshi's loyalty and morality, I, Fu Bi, also respect him very much. What Wang Xueshi said just now makes sense. You assist the sage, serve the country and the people, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty should give you support."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, "But it's not the court that can only allow this kind of voice? If this precedent is set, what should we do if the next one is Wang Mang and Li Linfu? They dare not say anything, who will stop them? Fan Gonggong is well versed in this, so he ended the new law in a dispute between gentlemen."
Although Zhao Xu didn't make a sound, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
I have to say that this ginger is still old and spicy.
Just a few words to the root.
Even if you are right, even if you are the truth, the court should allow different voices. You cannot guarantee that your successor will be the same as Wang Anshi, with the world in mind and for the country and the people.
If you, Wang Anshi, can shut up the censor today, then anyone can do the same in the future.
Yushitai was abolished.
These words were actually meant for Zhao Xu.
The emperor still has to pay attention to the art of balance.
All dynasties and dynasties have said that the censors are annoying, but why there are censors in all dynasties, the emperor is stupid, don’t know how to abolish it, because the censor is actually a knife in the emperor’s hand, not the emperor’s hemp rope.
The downfall of the great prime minister was not all caused by the censor.
Which emperor was killed by the censor.
Wang Anshi said: "Fu Gong's words are reasonable, but letting them quarrel in the court every day, is it a long-term peace and stability strategy?"
Fu Bi nodded straightly and said: "You are right, I also hope that the court can be harmonious. If there is a disagreement, it should also be a dispute between gentlemen, so it is better to go to court to argue...."
Wang Anshi immediately said: "How can this be done? If this precedent is set, every policy promulgated by the imperial court may be sued. This will seriously damage the prestige of the imperial court. At that time, no problems in the country will be resolved."
Zhao Bian said: "When Zhang Sanwei sued the court, you seemed to support him."
Wang Anshi retorted: "That's different. Zhang San is defending the people, while Qian Wei is purely messing around. The disaster is beyond the scope of the code. He must be severely punished."
Fu Bi calmly said: "Listen to what I have to say, I also think that no matter what Qian Wei said, he should not go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a lawsuit, Kaifeng Mansion will never accept this case, and must severely punish this behavior.
But in my opinion, this is also an opportunity to promote cooperation for the situation between the DPRK and China. Go to the court for a debate, discuss matters with theory and law, and everyone must recognize whether they win or lose, so that the court can be avoided. Caught in a split, never ending bickering goes on. "
What he said was really not biased towards conservatives. His ultimate goal was to hope that the court would not be divided, because he knew how terrible it was, but such a tough style as Wang Anshi would definitely speed up the division of the court.
One must know that Wang Anshi's prestige is far inferior to that of Fan Zhongyan at that time.
It's really predictable.
Sima Guang, who had been hiding by the side to recharge his batteries, suddenly said, "Wang Jiefu, are you guilty?"
Wang Anshi took a look at Sima Guang, and was even more angry, "Why am I guilty?"
"If you're not guilty, why don't you dare to argue in court?"
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "Although Zhang San's lawsuit was about defending the people, what you Wang Jiefu said at that time is also very appropriate here. Those who dare not go to court to argue must be those who have a guilty conscience. How can you be afraid of a fair trial if you are fair and aboveboard?"
"Could this be the same thing?"
Wang Anshi retorted: "Do you think I don't know their purpose? They just want to disrupt the reform of the court by arguing in court. Today, three divisions are set up, and they sue. When I promulgate a new law tomorrow, they sue again. This is endless. No more. Your Majesty is using my reform instead of asking me to quarrel with them."
Zhao Xu nodded heavily again.
Sima Guang said: "As you said before, going to court to argue, no matter how you say it, is an aboveboard method. No one is allowed to use this aboveboard method. Isn't that forcing them to use some despicable methods?"
Zhao Xu suddenly said: "I think the words of Master Wang are justified. After suing today, another person will sue tomorrow. This matter will never end."
Fu Bi said: "Your Majesty, I have always opposed Qian Yi's going to Kaifeng Mansion to sue, but I also think that there are so many people who object, so I should give everyone a reasonable explanation. If Master Wang wins this lawsuit, there will still be people who continue to sue." If you make a noise like this, it is unreasonable to make trouble, no matter how His Majesty punishes them, I will not say much."
Wang Anshi's eyes flashed, and he said: "If I promulgate the new law at that time, and they come to sue again, Fu Gong will have to speak up for me."
Sima Guang immediately said: "What Mr. Fu said refers to the establishment of the Three Divisions of Regulations. As for your new law, if someone complains about it, you have to check whether what they say is reasonable. If what they say is justified, That can only prove that you did not do well, you are at fault, why don’t you let people tell you?”
Seeing that Fu Bi is talking about this, Wang Anshi also intends to complete his merits in one battle, so let's fight, if I win, you can no longer object.
But he was referring to the whole reform movement.
Everyone gambles.
How could Sima Guang, an old fox, be fooled by this.
Let's count one by one.
Wang Anshi couldn't help glaring at Sima Guang.
Sima Guang ignored him, and said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, Zhang San sued the imperial court with the law of the ancestors. Although there was no judgment at that time, but afterward, His Majesty accepted Zhang San's deduction and made the imperial edict of Taizong refer to the imperial court. Everyone didn't say anything about the law, so it can be seen that disputes can be avoided by going to court.
Besides, Your Majesty, you have just promulgated the Law of the Ancestors, and now someone is suing on the grounds of the Laws of the Ancestors, if His Majesty does not allow them to sue, this will also be questionable. "
At this moment, Zhao Xu's life was seized.
indeed!
Although there were objections to the law of his ancestors, at most he murmured a few words in private and did not object openly.
We lost the lawsuit, let's admit it.
It's our turn to go to court, so you won't let it go.
Double standard!
Then who will accept this result?
Zhao Xu couldn't help looking at Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi suddenly felt like he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.
When he supported Zhang Fei to break the shackles of the ancestral law, he never thought that the other party would use this trick to deal with him, and even brought the emperor in.
If you don't agree, you really can't justify it.
Wang Anshi struggled for a while, and said: "Okay! I can agree to take over this lawsuit, but I have something to say first, just this time, I will never accept this kind of endless entanglement, the law of the ancestors is the foundation of governing the country, and It was not used to attack political opponents."
This is very straightforward.
He also knows that this ancestral law is a pocket law, anyone can sue for anything, if I promulgate a new law, you can sue one, who can bear it.
If there is a problem with the new law, then let’s discuss the facts and the law. If there is evidence, you should show the evidence and stop talking about the law of the ancestors.
Zhao Xu also nodded.
He set the ancestral method to prevent these people from threatening him with the ancestral method. If the other party still wants to do this, he can only use it once and use it again, so he will not agree.
Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Sima Guang all nodded in agreement.
And Zhang Fei, the founder of the ancestral law, is busy with business at this time.
It's not that he doesn't care about those things in the government and the opposition, but he knows that the situation will only become more serious, he can no longer fight alone, he needs a strong team.
Bianjing Law Firm is also very important to him.
"It still doesn't work!"
After reviewing the contracts drawn up in the past few days, Zhang Fei shook his head, "Fortunately, they are all signed temporarily, and you can change another one at that time."
Fan Li was surprised and said: "I reviewed it several times last night, and I didn't find any mistakes or omissions!"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't mean mistakes or omissions, but the writing style and wording of these contracts are completely different, too personal."
Fan Li said embarrassingly: "This is not written by one person. Of course, there will be some surprises, but generally it is written according to the text you gave."
Zhang Fei said: "This is the problem. You should remember that when I guaranteed the mortgage, I guaranteed that it was the contract. If any word in it is different, it has nothing to do with me, but my own firm has made It must be miscellaneous, how can this be done.”
Fan Li said: "That's the mortgage business over there. Most of the businesses we accept are different. Everyone's requirements are different for the copyright contract alone, so it's impossible to standardize it."
Zhang Fei said, "It must be the same."
Fan Li wondered, "How is it the same?"
Zhang Fei said: "If we can't decide the form of the contract, then we will be controlled by others."
"What is controlled by others?"
Xu Zhiqian walked in suddenly.
"Small things." Zhang Fei said to Fan Li again: "You first classify these contracts for me, and I will think about how to make the contracts."
There is no way to prepare for this matter in advance, because he also has to look at the needs of contemporary businessmen and citizens for legal services, and then formulate a standardized and unified contract model based on their needs.
But it must be regulated. In this way, he will know what to do and there will be no big troubles.
"All right!"
Fan Li nodded, took the contract and went out.
Xu Zhiqian immediately sat down and came forward, "Are you still thinking about business?"
Zhang Fei said: "My thoughts are all on this."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Then Lu Xiaokan knows that everything must be safe, and you should also prepare for it."
Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Believe me, although this matter may be very troublesome, it is impossible for Grand Master Wang to let them succeed. If they really want to go to court, it will be a blood loss."
Xu Zhiqian said worriedly: "Although this is the case, the affairs of the DPRK are uncertain. The key issue is because of you. If there is a disturbance, you may be involved. I think you should do it." Be fully prepared for emergencies.”
"It's impossible for me to spend my energy on an extremely unlikely..."
Having said that, he suddenly looked towards the door and frowned: "Maybe you are right."
Xu Zhiqian looked back and saw Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing walking in with sullen faces.
