Chapter 262: Sue me, sue me

Style: Historical Author: Nancy BeiqingWords: 5371Update Time: 24/02/20 17:14:27
The impression of the Northern Song Dynasty is that it is quite awkward and awkward no matter how you look at it.

With advanced science and technology, there is no shortage of generals and soldiers... We are slightly short of horses, but we will not be beaten every day.

Business is prosperous and the economy is developed, but the court is running a deficit every day, and the people are crying out for poverty every day.

Everything seems very contradictory.

Although there are many factors that cause these contradictions, one thing is certain, that is, this society is too advanced, and the management is too backward to match.

Recruitment system.

Do not suppress mergers.

Official banknotes.

Promote business.

etc.

The same goes for tabloids.

Tabloids were born in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty. Problems already appeared during the Huizong period, and the court began to regulate them. However, by the Southern Song Dynasty, the tabloids were even more rampant than marketing accounts.

The imperial court repeatedly banned it.

Therefore, Zhang Fei will definitely not take the blame for this. He just moved the "sheng" a little earlier. Without him, it would have developed.

Because people all know that the Di newspaper is a lie. It reports good news but not sorrow. Anyone who reads the Di newspaper likes to read tabloids.

It can be seen that the Northern Song Dynasty itself had this soil. The social atmosphere was open and there were scholars everywhere. They attached great importance to education. At the same time, technology kept up with it. Newspapers were an inevitable product.

The Song court's response was just like Wang Anshi's. They wanted to suppress the tabloid, but they couldn't suppress it, and the result was that it got worse.

The most difficult thing about legislation is not that the law is good or bad, but that you have to ensure that the law can be enforced. After some laws are enacted, they cannot be enforced even if they are enforced, which often makes things worse. Too bad, because the law is the bottom line of society.

Although the whole thing was not planned by Zhang Fei at the initial stage, as things changed, Zhang Fei also took advantage of the situation and began to make plans.

In fact, he could take the initiative to stop Wang Anshi. Although he might not be able to convince Wang Anshi, he did not do so in the end, and his purpose was to bring the matter to this point.

Because he wants to get newspapers and periodicals, and if there is no legal support, it will become very troublesome, because you don't know whether it is legal or illegal.

There is no standard.

The system of the Song Dynasty was a system of checks and balances, and the efficiency was extremely poor. Instead of suggesting that they legislate this, it would be more enjoyable to fight a lawsuit.

A decree can be delayed for a year, but a judgment cannot be delayed for a year. No matter how the judgment is made, the court must give an explanation.

Zhang Fei also intervened as an ear pen.

...

"What? Academician Wang sued my brother?"

Su Che looked at Sima Guang in shock.

Sima Guang nodded.

Su Shi said excitedly: "The other person's ear pen is Zhang San."

Sima Guang nodded.

"That's great." Su Shi was as happy as a child.

Su Zhe was dumbfounded, "Brother, what's so good about it?"

Sima Guang also looked at Su Shi blankly.

Su Shi said excitedly: "I have long wanted to have a fight with that kid, but I have never found the opportunity. This is really a God-given opportunity."

Sima Guang was stunned.

Met a fool.

It’s over!

Su Che said excitedly: "Brother, do you know what punishment you will face if you are convicted of these three crimes?"

Su Shi said with displeasure: "Third brother, do you think my brother's eloquence is not as good as that of Zhang San?"

Su Zhe was completely speechless and didn't bother to argue with him, so he turned to Sima Guang and said, "Sister Sima, my brother is obviously grievances for Zhang San, why should Zhang San want to retaliate?"

Su Shi immediately defended: "I'm not complaining about him, I just can't stand what Wang Jiefu did. It's reasonable for him to sue me."

This made Sima Guang not sure how to answer, he said hehe: "Since you, Su Zizhan, are so confident, it saves me a lot of trouble. However, it has not yet been determined whether a trial will be held."

"Not...undetermined?"

Su Shi said anxiously.

...

Jianyuan.

"Again... another lawsuit? How come Wang Jiefu, who is a dignitary in political affairs, is just like that humble citizen who always goes to Kaifeng Mansion to complain? It's really ridiculous."

"The key point is why he sued Su Zizhan. Although the lawsuit is fair, using power to force the Kaifeng government to open a court is not cheating for personal gain, using the public for personal gain. We have to go to the official to consult him."

...

When Anshi, the king of the admonishment court, heard that he went to complain again, everyone thought it was ridiculous.

Moreover, you, Wang Anshi, are always complaining, so why should we go to Jianyuan and Yushitai?

They were all tired of litigating.

There is no sense of participation at all.

Zhao Pian sighed and said: "I have carefully studied this kind of case. To say whether Wang Jiefu is suspected of taking advantage of others, that is true, but to say that he engaged in malpractice for personal gain cannot be said. Just because before this, such cases Disputes cannot be brought to the Kaifeng Mansion and are usually discussed by the court. But once the dispute reaches the Kaifeng Mansion, from a judicial perspective, it is difficult to reject their petition with convincing reasons.

As for the crime of making jackets and writing jackets, if you look at Su Zizhan alone, this crime cannot actually be constituted. However, the other party's pleadings are based on the results. Su Zizhan's remarks are indeed caused turmoil.

So according to the analysis of this crime, this crime can be constituted. "

After hearing this, all the admonishers were dumbfounded.

When you meet a director who talks like this, why don't you go to Dali Temple and become a director? It's really... the tragedy of Jian Yuan.

Fan Chunren quietly walked forward and said, "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask you, Su Zizhan, please give me an ear pen?"

"...?"

Swish, swish, swish!

The eyes of his colleagues immediately shot towards Fan Chunren.

It turns out that there is more than one shame for Isayan!

...

Kaifeng Mansion.

"Song Zhigao, Li Zhigao, you...what did you say?"

Li Kai looked at Song Minqiu and Li Dalin in surprise, "Did you publish that tabloid?"

Song Minqiu nodded and said: "Exactly."

Li Kai asked in confusion: "Why are you doing this?"

Song Min begged: "We do this because we very much agree with Su Zizhan's views and at the same time hate Wang Jiefu's actions. This matter has nothing to do with Su Zizhan. He, Wang Jiefu, accused the wrong person."

Li Dalin smiled and said: "What Su Zizhan said is not illegal, and publishing a tabloid is not illegal. Wang Jiefu, as a political advisor, is deeply trusted by officials. If he really wants to punish us, there is no need to go through Kaifeng Mansion."

Huang Gui hurriedly said: "Our Kaifeng Mansion has never said that this matter is illegal. As for whether it is illegal or not, we have to go through a trial before we can make a decision. We will report the matter and ask you two to go back first."

Song Minqiu was stunned and asked: "No...don't you need to put us in prison?"

Huang Guizhi shook his head and said, "No need."

"Okay then, let's take our leave now."

Song Minqiu bowed his hands and added: "But this matter really has nothing to do with Su Zizhan."

Huang Gui said humbly: "We can't decide this, we have to leave it to the judiciary to decide."

"Master Huang's words mean something."

Song and Li are not young people. They published this tabloid to express their dissatisfaction.

But they did not expect that the trouble would come to Kaifeng Mansion. They thought that they had caused Su Shi to be implicated, so they took the initiative to come to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender.

Such two nerds. Li Kai couldn't help but curse secretly, and said to Huang Gui: "If they do this, the case will only become more complicated."

Huang Gui breathed a sigh of relief: "The more complicated this is, the less it will be our turn to take care of it."

Li Kai's eyes lit up and he felt happy.

Yes, this power is still vacant in Kaifeng Mansion. This incident is getting bigger and bigger, involving the interests of all parties, and it is not his turn to make the final decision.

...

Sure enough, the surrender of Song Minqiu and Li Dalin was reported, which made the political affairs hall already in a state of distress even worse.

"It's a strange thing that a person who specializes in drafting imperial edicts actually went to write tabloids. Do they think drafting imperial edicts is too boring?"

When Wang Anshi heard the news, he was really angry.

Wen Yanbo said excitedly: "You have a good relationship with Song Cidao. Don't you know what he is like? Why are you unwilling to reflect on yourself?"

They all had a good relationship with Song Minqiu. They were all book lovers and they often got together to drink and discuss books.

Wang Anshi said: "You all knew what I was worried about at that time."

Wen Yanbo said: "We are also willing to work with you to quell this turmoil. It was you who chose to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."

Wang Anshi snorted: "They are all here for me, how dare I harm Duke Wen."

"You're simply..."

"I would like to inform you all to participate in politics, and Su Zhishi would like to see you."

Su Shi's current official name is Zhishi Guan. This official does not have much power, but he has a good past. This official name means that the court will focus on training, and he will be promoted directly in one or two years. Therefore, as soon as Su Shi comes back, Sima Guang will Extend an olive branch.

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Why is he here to join in the fun again?"

When Sima Guang saw Wang Anshi being exploded, he was afraid that Su Shi would offend Wang Anshi, so he took the initiative and said, "I'll go see him."

But knowing the reason why Su Shi came here, Sima Guang was so angry that he fainted.

It turns out that Su Shi came here because he was worried that the defendant would be snatched away by Song Minqing, saying that the responsibility lay with him.

"Su Zizhan, can you please stop causing trouble?" Sima Guang was also going crazy.

Su Shi said: "Sima Bachelor, Song Zhigao is a person. You know better than I do. He is no match for Zhang San and Wang Jiefu in the court. If he is allowed to go to court to testify, it will be a mistake."

At this moment, Fan Chunren came again.

"Su Zizhan is here too, that's the best thing."

Fan Chunren was overjoyed when he saw Su Shi.

Sima Guang asked: "What's the matter with Fan Sijian?"

Fan Chunren said hurriedly: "Bachelor Sima, let me defend Zizhan. I am sure I can beat Zhang San this time."

Su Shi immediately said: "I don't dare to trouble Fan Sijian about this matter."

Fan Chunren was stunned, "Has Zizhan already invited someone?"

Su Shi said: "I will defend myself!"

Fan Chunren said excitedly: "How do you defend yourself?"

"Why can't I defend myself?"

"Look, you don't even know the rules of litigation, and you still have to defend yourself. If you want to defend yourself, you can only be beaten passively. You can't attack Wang Jiefu."

"Don't pretend that I don't know. Judicial reform has not yet reached Kaifeng Mansion. Those rules are just unwritten and can be changed."

"Wouldn't that be a mess? Wang Jiefu also wants witnesses to ask questions, which will only lead to endless quarrels. Moreover, the judicial reform has been prepared to be implemented in Kaifeng County, which shows that this law already exists, and we must respect the law."

As Fan Chunren spoke, he turned to Sima Guang and said, "Scholar Sima, is there anything wrong with what I said to you?"

Sima Guang stood up and shouted outside: "Here comes someone! Bounce these two people out of the political hall."

"...?"

There is really no peace of mind.

...

Xu Mansion.

"Song Minqiu? Li Dalin?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, but still hadn't heard of it, so he asked curiously: "Do the two of them have any issues with Bachelor Wang?"

Xu Zun shook his head and said: "Not only are there no festivals, but the relationship was very good in the past. Wang Jiefu often borrowed books from Song Zaigao."

Zhang Fei was even more curious, "If that's the case, then why did they do this?"

Xu Zundao: "Because they are very opposed to banning tabloids from discussing current affairs."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Then let's make up a petition and file a lawsuit together with them."

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Zun also has a headache now, "Song Zhigao is different from Su Zizhan. He is knowledgeable and hospitable. He has friends all over the government and the public, such as Sima Xueshi, Wen Gong, Fugong, and Zhao Xianggong all have good relations with him. And Zai Shi Lin also has a very high reputation. If you take him to court, you may offend all the scholars in Bianjing. See if you can arrange him as a witness."

Zhang Fei said: "They have all surrendered. They cannot be considered witnesses in any way. The charges may be more serious than Mr. Su's. And..."

He smiled slightly: "I don't mind offending those scholars either."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Don't get carried away. Why does Uncle Wang want to fight this lawsuit? Isn't it because he can't bear the pressure from those scholars, let alone you."

Xu Zun nodded and said worriedly: "Qian'er is right."

"no the same."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I can bear it, but scholars won't do anything, and I like this kind of big scene. My shirt was born for this. The more scholars pay attention to it, the better. What we have to do is Nice enough to win this case and shut them up."

Xu Zhiqian hummed softly: "Don't worry, no matter how beautiful you win, they won't shut up, and the trouble will be endless."

Zhang Fei raised the corner of his mouth: "I have seen the tabloids written by Song Zhigao and others. It is simply a complete mess, with no knowledge at all."

Xu Zhiqian was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Doesn't it mean that we are invincible?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I have to."

...

To put it mildly, Su Shi was just complaining, but the behavior of Song Minqiu and others was more serious. The key was that he was an official who made imperial decrees and drafted imperial edicts. If this matter got bigger and bigger, the emperor had to be asked to come out. Call the shots.

Chui Gong Hall.

"When the matter was discussed at that time, Academician Wang's concern was definitely not caused by mediocrity, which everyone agrees with. However, Song Minqiu and others did not ask for the reason, and they published tabloids to disturb people's hearts, create chaos, and suspected that the court was unjust. They are still officials of the imperial court, so their crimes should be increased."

Zhao Xu said Long Yan displeasedly.

Wen Yanbo immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Song Minqiu and others are not unaware of Scholar Wang's concerns, but they are still opposed to this. And not only Song Minqiu and others are opposed to it, but almost all scholars are opposed to it. I think the resolution at that time was opposed. It was too hasty, and it was the negligence of the ministers that led to this turmoil. I am willing to bear the blame for dereliction of duty, and I hope that your majesty will forgive Song Minqiu and others."

Wang Anshi stood aside and whispered: "Can you still be blamed for illegal things?"

Sima Guang immediately retorted: "Even if matters are judged according to law, it is not illegal to publish tabloids."

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "We haven't heard anything yet, so I hope Bachelor Sima won't make any rash judgments."

Sima Guang snorted: "You also know that the case has not yet been tried, so why do you say that?"

Wang Anshi said: "At least I dare to go to court."

Sima Guang said: "Song Minqiu and others went to Kaifeng Mansion by themselves. Is this because they have a guilty conscience?"

Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "You two, please stop arguing. How should we decide this matter?"

Zhao Pian suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jiefu's worries are not overly worrying, but Su Zizhan's words cannot be blamed. However, it is difficult to balance the two at present. I think resorting to court is the best solution."

Mr. Lu always wanted to leave Kaifeng Mansion, but Zhao Bian also wanted to return to Kaifeng Mansion. His words could be understood as self-recommendation.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Zhao Bian depressedly.

I have never defeated Zhang San in court. Su Shi will be the pillar of the country in the future, and Song Minqiu is our good friend. If you take them to court, it will be unpredictable.

And... and it's more bad than good.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

Wen Yanbo really didn't want to go to court. Wang Wenshan and Wang Hong still remembered it vividly. However, if Wang Anshi was unwilling to admit his mistake, there really was no better solution to the matter.

Sima Guang stood up first and said, "I agree."

Lu Gongzhu and Chen Shengzhi also expressed their approval.

Wen Yanbo remained silent.

But how did he know that Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Zhao Xu all supported Zhang Fei.

No one can stop this lawsuit.

This meeting is just a process.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Then let...!"

Zhao Pian immediately said: "I would like to hear this case."

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhao Pian and said with a smile: "Okay! I will let you preside over this case."

...

Court of trial.

"I want to defend myself."

Su Shi excitedly said to Sima Guang, "Sister Sima, you have to believe me, I am sure that I can beat Zhang San."

Sima Guang said: "You can defend yourself, but the rules cannot be broken. You cannot question witnesses."

Su Shi was anxious and said, "Brother Jun Shi, can you make an exception for me?"

Sima Guang said: "This is stipulated by Prime Minister Zhao, and there is nothing I can do about it."

As he said that, he glanced at Fan Chunren who was excited and said, "Let Fan Sijian defend you."

Fan Chunren said quickly: "Zizhan, please believe me this time."

Su Shiquan didn't seem to hear it, but suddenly he had an idea and said: "Sister Sima, actually... I think this matter has nothing to do with me. I just complained a few times. No one has complained, so how can it be considered a crime? It was Song Zhigao who put my words in the tabloids without my permission, so they should be the defendants and I can defend them."

Sima Guang glanced at Su Shi and said with a smile: "Su Zizhan, otherwise, in terms of the crime of leaking major events, the death penalty will only be given if the circumstances are serious. And this discussion is not confidential. If you plead guilty, you will probably be punished according to the law." It’s just one year in prison, if you don’t bear the whole sentence, it will save everyone the trouble.”

Su Shi looked at Fan Chunren.

Fan Chunren repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "I hope Zizhan can trust me once."

Su Shi said: "Can Fan Sijian say what I say?"

Fan Chunren: "...!"
