Originally, Zhang Fei planned to take advantage of this opportunity to put his business in order, but unexpectedly, Han Qi suddenly appeared.
That means he has to deal with the lawsuit first.
This is also true. Han Qi and Fu Bi, two veteran Qingli officials, took action and the court immediately calmed down, but no one dared to make a fuss.
After all, their seniority and prestige are very important in the court.
Especially Han Qi, many important ministers were promoted by him.
Moreover, this is the second time that Han Qi and Fu Bi have joined forces since the Qingli New Deal.
Just this gimmick...
Um.
It seems a little strange.
Because everyone knows that these two were invited by Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang.
Clearly leaning towards the conservative side.
Then here comes the problem.
The two of them were the mainstays of the reformists during the Qingli New Deal, especially Han Qi. After Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi left, he fought for the new law alone in the court. How could he become a conservative in just a few years?
This looks strange.
But it’s not surprising at all. First of all, they have experienced failures and learned painful lessons. They know in their hearts that there is currently no environment for reform in the DPRK. Because there was no group of great scholars with common ideals in the court, it was even worse than during the Qingli period.
Secondly, the reformists do not necessarily support Wang Anshi. These are two different things. Is Wang Anshi's Confucian classics contrary to Confucian tradition and traditional Confucian reforms, or is he benevolent and loves the people, does not compete with the people for profits, and reduces the burden of the people. The core is Benevolence means saving money.
As for Wang Anshi's classics, there are only three words: money, money, money.
The core is financial management.
There are obviously many contradictions in this.
Not very popular with them.
Political Hall.
"Hey... Mr. Fu, how many years have we not worked together here?"
Han Qi sat on the chair and looked around.
Fu Bi responded calmly: "This is a place of disputes. At our age, it's better to come here less often!"
"That's true."
Han Qi nodded, but compared to Fu Bi's Yun Danfengqing, his muddy old eyes were full of nostalgia and regret.
He has struggled here, experiencing endless scenery and endless loneliness.
Fu Bi didn't want to miss the past, especially being with Han Qi. When he remembered it, he was more grudge than moved, so he said: "I wonder how Mr. Han plans to hear this case?"
Han Qi was startled, glanced at Fu Bi with a slight embarrassment, and said hehe, "Last time, it was Mr. Fu who tried him. I don't know the details. I wonder how Mr. Fu plans to try him?"
Fu Bi pondered for a while and said: "There are two main reasons why this matter has become such a fuss. First, the last trial was unfair. Second, the subsequent response methods of the officials and Wang Anshi were also somewhat...unfair. So kind!”
Han Qi asked: "What was the reason that caused Zhang San to admit defeat last time?"
Fu Bi said: "Do you know about Ayundeng Prefecture?"
Han Qi nodded.
Fu Bi said: "It is said that someone kidnapped this Ayun to blackmail Zhang San into deliberately losing the lawsuit."
Han Qi stroked his beard and asked, "Has this been verified? Could it be that they did this on purpose?"
Fu Bi said: "I don't know whether there has been any verification. After all, Zhang San has not complained to the officials. Maybe the officials have secretly sent people to investigate. But Jun Shi assured me that this is not a conspiracy. I think It doesn’t look like it.”
Han Qi nodded slightly, "If there is another trial now, we must demand justice and fairness. If anyone dares to use any means again, then we will not trial this case. We must find out the real culprit behind this, no matter who the other party is."
Fu Bi nodded.
Han Qi added: "The only thing left is to ensure that if Zhang San loses the lawsuit again, he will not be able to change his name."
Fu Bi said: "Junshi and Kuanfu suggested that we use examples and break the law to fight this lawsuit."
Of course, Han Qi is also proficient in the law. They are all rare all-round geniuses. He said: "I have read the record in the last hall. With just a few words, can I introduce an example to break the law?"
Fu Bi said: "This is just a name. We still have to argue whether it violates the laws of our ancestors. But if we win, then the official family will not be able to change the name."
Previously, three departments of Ordinances and Regulations were established to fight according to the ancestral law. However, this lawsuit is about whether the law can be broken by introducing an example. If the lawsuit is successful and it is judged that it is applicable to use the law to break the law, then the name cannot be changed.
Han Qi nodded, "That's feasible. But who will sue? Or Qian Yi?"
Fu Bi said: "Fan Chunren volunteered."
Han Qi pondered for a while and said: "It's better to let them go to the hall together."
Fu Bi asked: "Why? Are you afraid that Chunren can't defeat Zhang San alone?"
"That's not true." Han Qi shook his head slightly, "This matter will have the greatest impact on the Yushitai and the Yuan Yuan. If an admonisher and a censor lose, neither party will complain."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, "Also, I'm worried that Zhang San will use Fan Gong to attack Chunren. I have seen Zhang San's methods. He is very good at involving seemingly unrelated things."
Fan Chunren is Fan Zhongyan's second son.
Fan Zhongyan is the leader of the reform faction, so will Zhang Fei bring Fan Zhongyan in to talk together? If you say Wang Anshi violated the laws of his ancestors, will Fan Zhongyan also violate it?
Fu Bi nodded and said: "It is indeed possible, but you have thought carefully."
Han Qi asked: "I don't know whether Mr. Fu's words are a compliment or a derogation."
"Of course it's a compliment." Fu Bi smiled and nodded.
Winter winter winter!
There was a knock on the door.
"Informing Mr. Han Xianggong and Mr. Fu, the great scholar Wang has arrived."
"Please come quickly."
Han Qi said hurriedly.
With a creak, the door opened, and Wang Anshi walked in.
Facing these two elders, although Wang Anshi was dissatisfied, he was still respectful on the surface.
"Anshi met Mr. Fu and Mr. Han."
Fu Bi winked at Han Qi.
Han Qi asked kindly: "Jiefu, do you have any objections to me and Mr. Fu trying this case? If you do, you might as well say it directly. We will strive for justice in this matter."
Wang Anshi said hurriedly: "Anshi has no objection to this. Anshi also believes that Mr. Fu and Mr. Han will deal with it fairly."
Han Qi nodded and asked again: "I know a little bit about what happened last time, so I can't blame you. If something like this happens again, I hope you can confess to us. I, Han Qi, promise that I will never tolerate it. "
Wang Anshi cupped his hands and said, "Anshi obeys your order."
Han Qi nodded and asked: "Now the other party's Yushitai and Jianyuan want to break the law and accuse you of violating the ancestral law by setting up the Ordinance Department of the Second Government. What do you say to this?"
Wang Anshi said: "To be fair to Mr. Han, we have set up the Ordinance Department of the Second Government for this matter and have fully entrusted it to the Bianjing Law Firm, so..."
Han Qi frowned, "What? Are you making the same excuse in front of us?"
Wang Anshi directly took out a contract and handed it to Han Qi: "Mr. Han, please look at this. This is the contract signed by our Ordinance Department of the Second Prefecture and the Bianjing Law Firm."
Han Qi took it, looked at it with a slightly strange expression, and handed it to Fu Bi.
Wang Anshi said sarcastically: "The contract stipulates that if Zhang San is not here, I cannot say anything lightly. Otherwise, Zhang San may give up the lawsuit and not refund the commission."
Han Qi chuckled and said, "You really trust Zhang San."
Wang Anshi said: "As the saying goes, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you doubt them."
Han Qi and Fu Bi looked at each other.
They never expected that Wang Anshi would sign such a contract with Zhang Fei. It was written in black and white, and they couldn't say much.
In order to seek justice, they could only call Zhang Fei and Wang Anshi together on the second day.
Seeing these two elders, Zhang Fei also acted very humble and did not dare to ask for a seat. The three of them were all sitting, and Zhang Fei was the only one standing.
Han Qi deliberately ignored Wang Anshi and talked directly to Zhang Fei. He wanted to see if Wang Anshi had really entrusted him with the ear pen.
"Use an example to break the law?"
When Zhang Fei heard this charge, he couldn't help but look surprised.
Han Qi frowned and said majestically: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Oh. No...no."
Zhang Fei shook his head and asked: "I just don't know the reason for the other party to sue for this crime? Did the other party provide a pleading?"
There is no paper, this is not a strange thing, everyone knows what the situation is.
Han Qi said unhappily: "I'm going to trick you into using an ear pen. That's what they're going to use to prosecute me."
Zhang Fei asked: "I dare to ask again, but I don't know for what reason the other party thinks that the two are similar and suitable for citing examples and breaking laws?"
Han Qi asked impatiently: "Don't you know whether the two are similar?"
Zhang Fei said truthfully: "Xiaomin really doesn't know, and Xiaomin doesn't think this can be cited to break the law unless the other party provides sufficient evidence."
Fu Bi couldn't help but said: "You don't agree, but they agree. This is what this lawsuit will be arguing about."
Zhang Fei said: "What Mr. Fu said is wrong. Complaints cannot just be made with words. At least, appropriate arguments or evidence must be provided as a basis. Suppose someone wants to accuse Academician Wang of having an affair with his wife... ...."
"Ahem!"
This assumption almost made Wang Anshi angry, "Can't you change your metaphor?"
Zhang Fei explained: "If this kind of thing happens to ordinary people, in the eyes of others, it may be ordinary."
Wang Anshi was speechless.
You are cruel enough.
Zhang Fei continued: "But the complainant does not have any evidence. If the government is promoted to court because of this, it will cause a lot of damage to the reputation of Academician Wang. In the eyes of others, as long as he is promoted to court, it means there is something suspicious. .For the same reason, if the other party does not have sufficient arguments, it should not file a lawsuit."
Han Qi really didn't expect that Zhang Fei would compete on this matter and said, "You can't tolerate your refusal."
Zhang Fei said: "Then we will appeal to the officials."
Han Qi said in surprise: "What? You still want to sue me."
Zhang Fei said truthfully: "It's not a bad idea."
"...?"
This time even Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Fei in shock.
Boy!
Are you going a little too far?
These are Han Qi and Fu Bi.
Not that Sima Xiaoguang.
Fu Bi also looked at Zhang Fei dumbfounded.
Do you dare to offend Mr. Han?
Han Qi said with a gloomy face: "If you have the guts, say it again?"
Zhang Fei was not afraid and said: "At the beginning, Mr. Han was not afraid of power and fought with reason. He defeated the four prime ministers with just a piece of paper and won the respect of the common people. Now if there is a chance, the common people want to imitate him."
The corners of Wang Anshi's mouth twitched, trying desperately to suppress laughter.
Fu Bi also lowered his head and scratched his forehead.
Han Qi's expression was stagnant. He glanced at Fu Bi and Wang Anshi awkwardly, coughed, and asked, "What? Are you sure you can make both me and the rich man go home?"
Zhang Fei said: "When Xianggong Han made the report, he definitely did not want to drive the four prime ministers out of the government and the opposition. The fight was still for the same reason. Today, the common people are also fighting for the same reason. The other side fabricated charges out of thin air. If Xianggong Han still forces Xiao Xianggong to The people accept this, and this is definitely not a fair move.”
After saying this, he paused for a moment and said, "Privately, our Bianjing Law Firm will never sell a rotten orange to a client. This is our creed.
Now that the Ordinance Department of the Second Prefecture has hired our Bianjing Law Firm, we will definitely defend all the rights and interests of the Ordinance Department of the Second Prefecture. The other party cited this crime without any reason. If I agreed, how could I explain it to our client? "
Han Qi looked at Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi was silent. I have already said that Zhang San makes the decision regarding legal matters.
Han Qi thought to himself, you two really have a tacit understanding.
Fu Bi said bluntly: "If you don't use this crime, who can guarantee that if you lose the lawsuit, there won't be another Jiu Temple Ordinance Department."
Zhang Fei replied: "If you go back to Fu Gong, these are two different things."
Fu Bi asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Taking a step back, even if we lose the lawsuit, it has nothing to do with whether there is a Jiushi Ordinance Department."
