Not published in 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 Pian is in charge of the Admonition Court, and Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang are in charge of the Shu Menxia.
Because now the three provinces and six ministries have become useless, the people who really hold the administrative power are Zhongshu's disciples.
However, both Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang were old and did not interfere much with the affairs of the government. This administrative power was actually in the hands of the Councilors for Political Affairs, and Wang Anshi himself was the Councilor for Political Affairs. This edict was theoretically impossible. Being stopped.
Unless the prime minister comes forward in person.
Although they are all in a semi-retired state, they are the prime minister and the nominal boss after all. Coupled with his status and prestige, they are still quite influential as long as they speak.
Then the person who stopped this edict was either Fu Bi or Zeng Gongliang.
However, Zeng Gongliang has always been invisible on this matter and rarely comes to meetings. Although Fu Bi did not express support or opposition, after returning to Beijing, he had more contacts with conservatives and kept a distance from Wang Anshi. .
It can be seen that he is conservative.
Lu Gongzhu knew in his heart that it was probably Fu Bi who stopped him.
This is very surprising, because Fu Bi was unwilling to come back before. It was Shenzong who forcibly recalled him, which shows that he did not want to get involved in this matter.
No one thought that Fu Bi would suddenly take action at this critical moment.
At the beginning, the prime minister came forward.
Lu Gongzhu couldn't help but feel cold sweat for Wang Anshi.
Can this go on?
.....
When Qian Yi banged the drumstick, the situation in the DPRK and China suddenly changed and became turbulent.
In the past, both the censor and the admonishers impeached Wang Anshi for playing power, violating the ancestral system, and being disobedient. Later, they impeached Wang Anshi for rejecting dissidents and forming cliques for personal gain.
But the problem is that the emperor has only set up a division and has not yet found all the manpower.
Even centrists feel that these conservative reactions are too radical.
But now, the entire conservative community has suddenly turned their guns and demanded a public trial.
Zhang Fei can sue, but Qian Yi can't?
If you really serve the country and the people and have no selfish motives, why don't you dare to go to court and argue.
What did Wang Anshi say when he supported Zhang Fei?
When it's your turn, you don't want to.
In particular, the emperor secretly issued an order to have the Kaifeng Prefecture severely sentence Qian Yi. This was so shameless, causing the centrists to gradually turn to the conservative side.
Isn't 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 had made up his mind to let Wang Anshi give it a try first, regardless of whether he agreed or opposed it.
He was afraid that the court would be divided and dark party strife would begin again.
He is deeply aware of the internal friction that party strife has on the country, which is very terrifying.
If Qian Yi is really sent directly to the frontier, this matter may not be able to get through.
Because when everyone is in danger, they will stick together for warmth and start fighting again.
Therefore, Fu Bi directly stepped forward and stopped the edict.
At the same time, Zhao Pian also stood up and spoke 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 did not allow it.
Regardless of whether they have real power or not, their status is here, and it is impossible for Zhao Xu to demote all the prime ministers at once.
Things haven't come to this yet.
Zhao Xu had no choice but to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.
Chui Gong Hall.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, wise monarchs have never punished censors with their words. No matter what they say is right or wrong, this is their duty. If they listen both, they will be enlightened, and if they believe only, they will be dark. If they don't speak, Your Majesty can't hear the voices of the people in the world. Now he forces the censor to take off his official robe and go to Kaifeng Mansion to complain. This will definitely make future generations laugh. I hope your Majesty will think twice before acting."
Zhao Pian said to Zhao Xu seriously.
"What Prime Minister Zhao said is wrong."
Wang Anshi immediately stood up and said: "Yes, the censor is your majesty's eyes and ears, so you should be more careful in selecting the censor. Some people with evil intentions and evil intentions, such as Qian Yi and other treacherous people, can never hold this position. How can we keep him in the Yushitai if he confuses the public and destroys the harmony of the court?"
Zhao Pian said: "Qian Yi is not the only one who opposes the establishment of the Three Regulations Department. Prime Minister Ji is also opposed to it. Are they all sycophants? Or are those who oppose you, Wang Anshi, sycophants?"
Wang Anshi nodded: "Yes."
Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo were all dumbfounded. You are so swollen!
Zhao Pian frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty entrusted me with the reform, aiming at the country's bad government, in order to work hard to govern, enrich the country and strengthen the army. And everyone sitting here should also know that the three redundant disasters have reached the point where they have to be dealt with. Zeng also They all proposed reforms, but their ideas were different from those of Wang Anshi.
But just because they don't like me, Wang Anshi, they veto him along with His Majesty's determination to work hard for governance. What are they if they are not treacherous people? They also said that I, Wang Anshi, was arrogant and unreasonable, but they were the ones who were truly selfish. "
My new law has not yet been released, and you are starting to oppose it. You are clearly targeting people!
Wen Yanbo immediately retorted: "What they oppose is not the reform, but the state-owned standing system. If you want to reform, it should be presided over by the second government. For example, before Fan Gong's reform, there was no other department. If the censors are against To remain silent after hearing this would be a crime of dereliction of duty."
Wang Anshi immediately asked: "Did Duke Fan's reform succeed?"
This sentence left Wen Yanbo speechless.
Wang Anshi asked again: "If I learn from Duke Fan, will the results change? It is precisely because I learned from Duke Fan that I asked Your Majesty to set up another division."
He actually said this to Fu Bi. After all, Wen Yanbo was not very involved at the time, and Fu Bi was the mainstay of Qingli Junzi.
Fu Bi was embarrassed and silent.
They did fail.
Wang Anshi was unreasonable and unforgiving, "At that time, many censors impeached Duke Fan. Do you agree with those charges? At that time, Gong Fan repeatedly backed down, which led to those censors and admonishers to intensify their efforts. In the end, the reform failed. Not only did they fail to correct the bad government, but they even The country and the country are in danger and the building is about to collapse. Now you ask me to follow Fan Gong's example. What's the point?"
You're not done yet. Fu Bi gradually became a little unhappy. Fan Zhongyan was his confidant, best friend, and even a comrade-in-arms. He respected him very much. It was really too much to always use Fan Gong as a negative example.
He nodded with a smile and said: "What you said makes sense. What Mr. Fan did is really not worth learning. After all, Mr. Fan failed. Then we might as well do the opposite. The second government and the three divisions are all based on the system. The commander-in-chief of the Department of Justice is obedient and obeys orders, what do you think?"
Wang Anshi's heart trembled, "This is absolutely not what Anshi meant."
Zhao Xu glanced at Fu Bi and said nothing, thinking, "The rich man becomes stronger as he gets older!"
Fu Bi showed an amiable smile: "As for the loyalty and moral character of Academician Wang, I also respect it very much. What Academician Wang just said is also reasonable. You assist the Holy King and serve the country and the people. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty should be given to you. support."
At this point, he suddenly changed the topic, "But the imperial court can only allow this kind of voice? If this precedent is set, what if the next one is Wang Mang or Li Linfu? Then the imperial censor will advise They all dare not speak out, so who will stop them? Fan Zhengyi knows this very well, so he ended the new law in a dispute between gentlemen."
Although Zhao Xu remained silent, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
I have to say, this ginger is still spicy.
In a few words, we get to the root of it.
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 like you, Wang Anshi, who cares about the world and serves the country and the people.
If you, Wang Anshi, can shut up the censor today, then anyone can do the same in the future.
The Yushitai was abandoned.
These words were actually meant for Zhao Xu.
The emperor still has to pay attention to the art of balance.
Throughout the dynasties, people say that the Yushi Yanguan is annoying, but why have there been Yushi Yanguan in all dynasties? Then the emperor is stupid and doesn’t know how to abolish it. It’s because the Yushi Yanguan is actually the sword in the emperor’s hand, not to restrain the emperor. hemp rope.
The downfall of the great prime minister was all caused by the censor.
Which emperor was killed by the censor?
Wang Anshi said: "What Mr. Fu said is reasonable, but if they are allowed to make noise in the court every day, is this the way to achieve long-term peace and stability?"
Fu Bi nodded and said: "You are right. I also hope that the court can be harmonious. If there is a disagreement, it should be a dispute between gentlemen. 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 and no problems in the country will be solved."
Zhao Bian said: "When Zhang Sanwei sued the court, you seemed to support him."
Wang Anshi retorted: "That's different. Zhang San is redressing the grievances of the people, while Qian Yi is just messing around and causing trouble beyond the scope of the rules. He must be severely punished."
Fu Bi said calmly: "Listen to what I have to say. I also think that no matter what Qian Yi says, he should not go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint. Kaifeng Mansion will never accept this case and will severely punish this behavior.
But in my opinion, this is also an opportunity to promote cooperation in the situation between the DPRK and China. A debate can be held in court to discuss matters and discuss matters based on the law. Everyone must recognize whether they are winning or losing. This way, the court can avoid Falling into division and endless bickering. "
His words are really not biased toward conservatives. His ultimate goal is to hope that the court will not be divided, because he knows how terrible this is, but Wang Anshi's tough style will definitely accelerate the division of the court.
You must know that Wang Anshi's current reputation is far inferior to that of Fan Zhongyan at that time. People will not accept it, and the trouble will definitely become more and more fierce.
This is really predictable.
Sima Guang, who had been hiding nearby to recharge his batteries, suddenly said: "Wang Jiefu, are you feeling guilty?"
Wang Anshi looked at Sima Guang and became even more angry, "Why am I guilty?"
"If you don't feel guilty, why don't you dare to go to court to argue?"
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "Although Zhang San's lawsuit is about redressing the grievances of the people, what you Wang Jiefu said at that time is also very suitable here. People who dare not go to court to argue must be those with a guilty conscience. If How can you be afraid of a fair trial if you are fair and aboveboard?"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Could this be the same thing?"
Wang Anshi refuted: "You think I don't know their purpose? They just want to disrupt the imperial reform by arguing in court. Today, I set up three departments of regulations and they complained. Tomorrow I promulgate a new law and they complain again. This is endless. No more. Your Majesty enabled me to reform, not to quarrel with them."
Zhao Xu nodded heavily again.
Sima Guang said: "As you said before, no matter how you say it, going to court to argue is an aboveboard method. No one is allowed to use such a fair method. Doesn't that force them to use some despicable methods?"
Zhao Xu suddenly said: "I think what Academician Wang said is reasonable. If we finish the lawsuit today, if someone else comes to sue tomorrow, the matter will be endless."
Fu Bi said: "Your Majesty, I have always been against Qian Yi going to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, but I also think that so many people are opposed, and we should give everyone a reasonable explanation. If Academician Wang wins this lawsuit, there will be others who will continue. If they make a noise like this, it is unreasonable. No matter how much your Majesty punishes them, I will not say anything."
Wang Anshi's eyes flashed and he said: "If I promulgate a new law and they come to complain again, the rich man will have to speak up for me."
Sima Guang immediately said: "What Mr. Fu said was to establish three departments of regulations. As for your new law, if someone complains about it, you must first examine whether what they say is reasonable. If what they say is reasonable, That only proves that you didn’t do a good job and you made a mistake, why don’t you let others talk about it?”
Seeing that Fu Bi is talking about this, Wang Anshi also plans to complete his victory in one battle. Let's fight. If I win, you can no longer object.
But he was referring to the entire reform movement.
Everyone bets their fortune.
How could Sima Guang, an old fox, be fooled by this?
Let's calculate it piece by piece.
Wang Anshi couldn't help but glare at Sima Guang.
Sima Guang ignored him and said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, Zhang San sued the court based on the ancestral method. Although there was no verdict at the time, your Majesty later accepted Zhang San's inference and regarded Taizong's edict as the ancestor. No one said anything about the method. It can be seen that disputes can be avoided by going to court to litigate.
Besides, Your Majesty, you have just promulgated the ancestral law, and now someone is suing on the grounds of the ancestral law. If Your Majesty does not allow them to sue, this will also raise questions. "
This time, Zhao Xu's destiny was captured.
really!
Although there were some objections to his ancestral method of setting the tone, at most they only whispered a few words in private and did not object openly.
If we lose the lawsuit, we admit it.
It's our turn to file a lawsuit, and you won't let it go.
Double standards!
Then who would recognize this result?
Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
When he initially supported Zhang Fei to break the constraints of his ancestors' laws, he never thought that the other party would also use this trick to deal with him, and even drag the emperor into it.
If you don't agree, it really can't be justified.
Wang Anshi struggled for a while and said: "Okay! I can agree to take this lawsuit, but I also have something to say first. For once, I will never accept this endless entanglement. The laws of our ancestors are the foundation of governing the country, and It is not used to attack political opponents.”
This is very straightforward.
He also knows that this ancestral law is a pocket law, and anyone can sue for anything. If I promulgate a new law and you sue for one, who can bear this?
If there are problems with the new law, then let's discuss the matter and the law. If there is evidence, you should show it and stop talking about ancestral laws.
Zhao Xu also nodded.
He set the tone of the ancestral method to prevent these people from threatening him with the ancestral method. In the end, the other party still wanted to do it, so it could only be used once. If he used it again and again, he would not agree.
Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Sima Guang all nodded in agreement.
...
As the founder of the ancestral method, Zhang Fei was busy with business at this time.
It's not that he doesn't care about 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, "But fortunately they are all temporary, and you can exchange them for another one when the time comes."
Fan Li said in surprise: "I checked it several times last night and didn't find any errors or omissions!"
Zhang Fei said: "I am not referring to errors or omissions, but the writing style and wording of these contracts are completely different and too personalized."
Fan Li said sarcastically: "This is not written by one person. Of course there will be some surprises, but generally I will write it according to the text you gave me."
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 It’s all mixed up, how can this be done?”
Fan Li said: "That's the mortgage business over there. Most of the transactions we take are different. Just as for copyright contracts, everyone has different requirements, so it's impossible to standardize them."
Zhang Fei said: "It must be the same."
Fan Li wondered: "How is it the same?"
Zhang Fei said: "If we can't make the decision in terms of the form of the contract, then we will be controlled by others."
"What is controlled by others?"
Xu Zhiqian suddenly walked in.
"It's a small matter." Zhang Fei said to Fan Li again: "Please classify these contracts for me first, and then I will think about how to make the contract."
There was no way to prepare for this in advance, because he also had 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 case, he will know what to do and there won't be too much trouble.
"All right!"
Fan Li nodded, took the contract and went out.
Xu Zhiqian immediately sat down and asked, "Are you still doing business with your mind?"
Zhang Fei said: "My thoughts are all on this."
Xu Zhiqian said: "The editor, Lu, knows to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and you should prepare for this too."
Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Believe me, although this matter may be very troublesome, there is no way that Grand Scholar Wang will let them succeed. If they really want to go to court, it will be a loss of blood."
Xu Zhiqian said worriedly: "That said, it's impossible to tell what happened in the DPRK. The key thing is that it happened because of you. If there is a riot, you might be implicated. I think you It’s better to be fully prepared in case of emergencies.”
“There’s no way I’m going to spend my energy on a very unlikely possibility….”
Having said this, he suddenly looked towards the door and frowned: "Maybe you... you are right."
Xu Zhiqian looked back and saw Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing walking in with gloomy faces.
