It's no wonder that Xu Zhiqian felt nervous. Although at the beginning of the year, she had followed Zhang Fei to seek justice for the historian using the methods of her ancestors, that lawsuit was indeed a highly publicized matter and was extremely popular even among the people.
But in the end it was just a criminal proceeding, and it ended in a criminal case.
There was no direct conflict with the courtiers at that time.
No one said they were threatening historians, or anything, because after all, the ancestral law was just a reason to restrain the emperor, or an excuse. The courtiers used this excuse to restrain the emperor, but it was the game of power that often played a decisive role.
Moreover, Wang Anshi did not start the reform at that time.
The structure of power has not changed at all.
This time is different. This time Zhang Fei is facing the court officials directly. This lawsuit is also related to the interests of the people of the world, and it may also herald a reshuffle of power.
Whenever it comes to the increase or decrease of power, this is very fatal.
This can be seen from the fact that they even kidnapped Fang Yun to threaten Zhang Fei.
No one in this lawsuit can easily view everything from the perspective of a bystander. Everyone is a subject in the painting.
Since those young officials wanted to come to watch the trial, Fu Bi and Han Qi were forced to conduct the trial in the open space in front of the political hall.
Although the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was the smallest in the history of the dynasties, the Zhengshi Hall was the country's highest administrative agency after all, and the open space in front was still very large.
It is enough to accommodate a thousand people.
This was really hard work for the political hall servants, who spent the whole night just moving tables and chairs.
At this moment, the seats were already full, and there were even many young officials standing in the corner.
There was already a lot of people inside, arguing.
Obviously, this lawsuit has brought the contradiction between the reformists and conservatives into the open.
Before, everyone was still competing secretly, but now everyone is competing openly.
You must know that this has just begun, and the new laws have not yet been released.
Wang Anshi, who was late, met Sima Guang as soon as he came to the door. It was true that enemies never get together. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Sima Junshi, did you send someone to follow me? I have something to do at the moment." I’ve been delayed for a while and I’m late. It’s a shame to meet you here.”
Sima Guang snorted: "I was just afraid of meeting you, so I came late. You didn't even look in the mirror. How many people hate you now, who wants to be with you?"
Wang Anshi smiled disdainfully: "Yes! Those corrupt officials all hate me."
While speaking, he pointed at Sima Guang.
"you...."
Sima Guang snorted angrily: "Everyone is drunk, but you are the only one who is awake. This is why you are hated by others."
Wang Anshi retorted: "This just proves that the path I am taking is correct."
Sima Guang chuckled and said, "The reason why everyone hates you is that you are right. You stay with Zhang San every day, haven't you learned the basics of inference?"
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Those people inside can represent the majority? Let's go to the people and ask."
Sima Guang said: "We will ask again after your new method comes out."
"You wait."
"I am waiting."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a laugh, "Two great bachelors, it's still early, why don't you go in and have a fight first, so that I can learn from the younger generation."
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi looked back and saw Su Shi looking at them with a smile, while Su Che next to him was trying his best to hold back his laughter.
Sima Guang frowned and said, "It's time for you to learn. You speak so freely. If you don't get a lesson in court, you will get into big trouble sooner or later."
Wang Anshi said: "Go to less brothels and save more money. If you get into trouble, you can go to Zhang San to help you with the lawsuit."
Sima Guang said: "If you don't save money, you have to go less. Look at you, your steps are sloppy at such a young age, and your walking is not as good as the two old guys like us."
The smile on Su Shi's face gradually became stiff.
Seeing that his brother was struggling one against two, Su Zhe quickly came up and bowed respectfully to help his brother out of trouble.
Wang Anshi glanced at Su Che and said, "They say the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Su Che, how come you are not crooked?"
"Your Majesty..."
Su Che looked at Wang Anshi awkwardly.
Sima Guang said earnestly: "Watch your brother carefully."
After saying that, the two of them entered the courtyard.
Su Che kept his hand in hand.
Su Shi stepped forward and said, "Third brother, I'm sorry, my brother has caused trouble to you again."
Su Che turned his head and glanced at Su Shi, and said humbly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Um?
...
When Wang Anshi and Sima Guang appeared in the courtyard, the buzz subsided slightly and countless eyes turned to them.
The two also had a tacit understanding and walked aside.
The dichotomy becomes increasingly clear.
When Lu Huiqing saw Wang Anshi coming, he immediately stood up, bowed his hands, and asked, "Why did my mentor come here with the Grand Scholar of Sima?"
Wang Anshi whispered: "Go and check for me to see if anyone is following me."
Lu Huiqing looked at Wang Anshi confused.
"I suspect that old man Sima sent someone to follow me."
With that said, Wang Anshi sat down.
Over there, Wen Yanbo also curiously asked Sima Guang: "Why did you come here with Wang Jiefu?"
Sima Guang sighed: "Unfortunately we met at the door."
The Su brothers who came in later were stunned when they saw this scene.
This kind of grand occasion is better than a court meeting, and can usually only be seen during the emperor's birthday or enthronement hall.
"So many people!"
Su Che said with emotion.
Su Shi nodded and said with envy: "Yes! I never thought that a lawsuit would lead to such a limelight. When we were Jinshi in high school, we didn't have such a good reputation. This is really unfair."
.....
After a while, Han Qi and Fu Bi were seen walking out of the hall.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet.
There was total silence.
When Mr. Lu saw this, he felt extremely aggrieved. How could I not be so conscious as a judge?
Han Qi and Fu Bi walked slowly, chatting while walking.
"Mr. Rich, let's teach that kid a lesson later, so that he won't become arrogant." Han Qi whispered.
Fu Bi asked: "What does Mr. Han plan to do?"
Han Qi said harshly: "I won't let him sit down."
Fu Bi thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's forget it. We have already given it before. If we don't give it, I'm afraid it will be a disgrace!"
Han Qi doesn't care, this lawsuit can't be fought while it's still standing? But seeing what Fu Bi said, he didn't force it.
The two came to the presiding judge's seat and sat down.
Han Qi's hand slightly guided the gavel.
Fu Bi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Come on, I've already had enough of it last time."
Han Qi picked up the gavel and glanced at it. No one said anything, so he put it down again and ordered to the left and right: "Call them up."
A loud shout.
The first to come in were Fan Chunren and Qian Yi.
After all, they are officials. How can Xiaoxiao Erbi walk side by side with them in the imperial city.
Then came Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian was holding the materials and had just entered the courtyard. When she saw the scene, the legendary Fu Bi and Han Qi were sitting above them. She suddenly felt her scalp numb, her legs went weak, and she sat down. go.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei beside her had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately supported her and said with a look of disgust: "You are so worthless. This is not the first time."
"me...."
Xu Zhiqian blushed, feeling really miserable.
This scene was much more terrifying than she had imagined. Last time in the trial court, there were only a few dozen people at most, but this time there were thousands of people, and they were all relatives of the emperor, ministers, and ministers. There are many uncles, uncles and other elders, but she is a woman after all. How can she not be afraid when she has to litigate in front of so many people?
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and hummed softly: "You will be tyrannical in front of me. If you really get on the stage, you will be as weak as a chicken. Let's go quickly."
At this moment, Xu Zhiqian was not in the mood to argue with Zhang Fei, so she whispered: "Zhang San, I seem to be unable to move my feet."
Zhang Fei opened his eyes and said in shock: "Hey, hey, hey, you are not the aunt here, are you? This... what should I do?"
"What aunt?" Xu Zhiqian asked in shock.
"It's...it's your women's menstruation."
Xu Zhiqian immediately blushed and spat: "What are you talking about? I... I'm just a little nervous and my feet are a little weak."
"you...."
Zhang Fei was so angry that his hair stood on end, "The fight hasn't even started yet, and if you do it like this, you will lose all morale."
Even so, he still supported Xu Zhiqian and walked forward slowly.
What momentum?
They are simply old, weak, women and children.
Fortunately, he was still thinking about getting a super luxury carriage and hiring dozens of bodyguards to follow him around.
But this move immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.
What are they doing?
Flirting and flirting in the political hall, like glue and paint?
Does it fit?
.....
Liu Zhao asked Xu Zundao beside him: "Brother Zhongtu, when will you drink Qian'er's wedding wine?"
Xu Zun had been paying attention to his daughter, feeling very anxious. He paused for a moment and asked, "What kind of wedding wine?"
Liu Zhao said: "It's the wedding wine between Qian'er and Zhang San!"
Xu Zun's face tightened: "Don't talk nonsense. Qian'er is just helping, not what you think."
How could Liu Zhao believe it? "Really?"
...
Han Qi is also a romantic person. Looking at this beautiful couple, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, which is pleasing to the eye, and he doesn't care so much.
But Fu Bi looked uncomfortable, and when they came forward, he asked, "What are you doing?"
This question made many people laugh.
Xu Zun's face turned red.
Xu Zhiqian almost bent her slender white jade neck into a U shape.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "When I return to Mr. Fu, Madam Xu has sprained her foot."
Han Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will give you tables and chairs, so you don't have to play these little tricks."
Zhang Fei was about to cry but said without tears: "This time it's true."
Han Qi immediately asked: "I heard what you said last time was a lie?"
"Well...."
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "It was true last time, but it was a different person."
Fu Bi looked at Zhang Fei as if he wasn't lying, so he said, "Please help Mrs. Xu sit down first!"
"Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Zhang Fei quickly helped Xu Zhiqian to a seat aside and sat down.
Xu Zhiqian quickly moved the text forward to block herself. The more she was afraid of being embarrassed, the more embarrassed she became.
Xu Zun, who was next to him, immediately said to Liu Zhao: "Look, I'll tell you it's not what you think, it's Qian'er who sprained her ankle."
Liu Zhao shook his head and said, "If that's the case, it would be even worse."
Xu Zun asked anxiously: "How do you say this?"
Liu Zhao whispered: "There were many rumors before that Qian'er and Zhang San had an unusual relationship. Now they are hugging each other in full view of the public. All the colleagues have seen it. You are planning to betroth Qian'er to who?"
Xu Zun was stunned immediately.
No wonder there haven't been any proposals for marriage recently.
...
After this little episode, the dignity in the hall was gone.
Han Qi was stunned, creating a majestic atmosphere, and said loudly: "Fan Sijian, Qian Yushi."
"The official is here."
The two of them bowed their hands.
Han Qi asked: "You are suing the Ordinance Department of the Second Government for violating the laws of our ancestors. Do you have any evidence?"
Fan Chunren said: "If I go back to Mr. Han, I hope that a key witness of this case can be brought to court to testify."
"witness?"
Han Qi was stunned, there is no such link!
When Xu Zhiqian heard this, she immediately ignored her shyness, raised her head, and asked in a low voice: "Are there any witnesses?"
Zhang Fei looked confused and said, "I don't know either."
Han Qi also asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What witness?"
Fan Chunren immediately said: "That's Bachelor Wang Jiefu."
Wang Anshi was immediately dumbfounded. I had to go to court to give my testimony. Fortunately, I was not late.
Zhang Fei immediately stood up and questioned: "It was not stated in advance that Academician Wang would be summoned to testify."
Han Qi and Fu Bi looked at each other, both of them seemed to be undecided.
It was indeed not said beforehand.
Fan Chunren smiled and said: "As an ear pen, don't you know that in a lawsuit, you need to summon witnesses for questioning? By the way, when you helped Cao Dongdong in the lawsuit last time, you also summoned witnesses for questioning. Is it still useful for this kind of thing? Do you want to be informed in advance?”
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "Of course this kind of thing is needed, I am not prepared for it."
Fan Chunren smiled and asked, "Did anyone tell you that there will be no witnesses in today's trial?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
Fan Chunren stopped talking to him and said to Han Qi and Fu Bi: "Two presiding judges, if Grand Scholar Wang does not come forward to testify, some issues cannot be answered accurately. I hereby kindly request the two presiding judges to pass on Wang's testimony." The Grand Master comes to testify."
Han Qi looked at Fu Bi, who rolled his eyes as if to say, you just have to make the decision.
Han Qi pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Wang Anshi, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Scholar Wang, would you like to go to court to testify?"
Lu Huiqing immediately whispered: "Teacher, be careful that there is a scam."
Wang Anshi glanced at Zhang Fei first and saw hesitation on his face. He didn't think too much and nodded directly to Han Qi: "If necessary, I can go to court to testify."
If he doesn't agree to this situation, wouldn't that be evidence of a guilty conscience?
Besides, he, Wang Anshi, was born for big events. How could he be afraid of this little Fan Chunren? Even his father was not afraid.
"etc!"
Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Fan Chunren and Qian Yi and said, "Both of you are complaining, so you belong to the plaintiff. Since you can cross-examine Grand Scholar Wang, I can also cross-examine you. This is only fair."
In court, there is a huge difference between witnesses and ear pens.
Qian Yi said: "I wrote the petition."
Fan Chunren said: "I'm just here to argue for Qian Yushi."
Qian Yi smiled and said: "Of course you can also question me."
Good guy! Play the extreme one-for-one trick with me. Although Zhang Fei still kept a smile on his face, his heart was already full of 10,000 grass and mud horses running past.
