Sima Guang, who has always been as steady as an old dog, became anxious this time and even walked away. This shows that this matter is quite serious, and he, Sima Guang, has no way to deal with it for the time being.
This is also true.
As soon as this report was published, it immediately attracted widespread attention, and public opinion was almost overwhelming.
They are all crazily criticizing Zhang Fei.
In fact, the law about the legal system had been spread before, and it was recognized by some people at the time. Only then did Zhang Fei gain the respect of many people.
But now that this newspaper has been published, those who originally supported Zhang Fei have begun to oppose him.
Because everyone's focus was on Zhang Fei's establishment of a sect before, everyone thought that how could such a yellow-mouthed kid start a sect and why did he have it?
They all wanted to refute Zhang Fei.
At that time, everyone was still arguing about the same reason.
But those admonishing officials and censors were not reasoning. They believed that the legal system would destroy the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, and they gave very reasonable inferences.
These three cardinal principles are actually a kind of social order, not a great principle or a proposition.
To put it bluntly, this is what happens. Only by doing this can the country still be stable.
From Dong Zhongshu to the present, the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for more than 800 years. Everyone's code of conduct revolves around the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules. If you deny this, everyone is wrong.
This has nothing to do with reason.
This caused the hermits around Bianjing who did not care about fame and wealth to quickly stand up and criticize Zhang Fei.
It's not that they are jealous of Zhang Fei, or that they are unhappy with Zhang Fei, but they think that if this kind of thinking is not stopped quickly, once it violates the general ethics, there will be big trouble.
Public opinion surged, the government and the public were shocked, and Zhao Xu hurriedly came out to hold a meeting.
At this point, those admonishing officials and censors were fighting each other. In short, this matter had endangered the country and the country, and the court could not ignore it.
"You have not gone to attend the lecture, so you may have misunderstandings about the legal system."
Fu Bi realized that he also had responsibilities, so he stood up and explained patiently: "Actually, Zhang San also mentioned this. The law of the legal system refers to legitimate rights and interests, and this 'legitimate' includes ethics."
Censor Jiang Zhiqi immediately said: "Fu Gong is full of knowledge, profound knowledge, and has loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. He will not be easily influenced by him. But can Fu Gong guarantee that ordinary people will not be deceived by him?"
Fu Bi suddenly frowned and said nothing.
Speaking from the facts, this defense of personal legitimate rights and interests is indeed inflammatory and tempting. No one can guarantee whether the people will misunderstand this.
In fact, Fu Bi knew that some people would definitely misunderstand him.
This is indeed a problem.
Another censor, Peng Siyan, stood up and said: "The key thing Zhang San said doesn't make sense. The three cardinal principles are based on the principle of yin and yang, the king is yang and the minister is yin, the husband is yang and the wife is yin, the father is yang and the son is yin, and the yang is yin." The main Yin and the auxiliary are the laws of heaven.
Ministers serve the king, sons serve the father, and wives serve their husbands. If the three are in compliance, the world will be governed, and if the three are contrary, the world will be in chaos. This is the normal way of the world.
However, the legal system only emphasizes the rights and interests of one person, which will inevitably lead to the conflict between yin and yang, and the general chaos. It can be said to go against heaven and lead to chaos in the world. "
This one is more exaggerated than the other.
Sima Guang said pleasantly: "That being said, that's what Zhang San said. He is young and energetic, and it is reasonable to say the wrong thing. You can refute it, and there is no need to make trouble in the court."
Jiang Zhiqi said: "His monstrous words have already deceived Your Majesty. How long will Bachelor Sima want to protect him?"
Sima Guang was immediately speechless. Indeed, Zhao Xu almost ordered the revision of "Song Xingtong" that day.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Are you calling me stupid?
Li Yu, the admonisher, stood up and said: "The key point is that the guy has no repentance at all. He even published our remarks in newspapers and magazines, pretending to be frank, hoping to win the sympathy of the world, and at the same time beguiling the world to inquire about his legal system. "Dharma, it can be seen that it inherently contains evil intentions, and its intentions can be punished."
When it came to newspapers, Sima Guang became even more angry, stopped arguing, and retreated.
Without that newspaper, things would not have escalated so quickly, and there is still room for recovery.
Wang Anshi saw the depressed expression on Sima Guang's face, and couldn't help but feel sad. This was really troublesome.
Jiang Zhiqi then said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, the so-called legal system only uses the greed of human nature to confuse the world. This is a heresy. If Zhang San is not severely punished and the spread of this evil idea is not stopped in time, everyone will become selfish. Self-interest and disregard of the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, the etiquette of husband and wife, and the etiquette of father and son will not only destroy the century-old foundation of the Song Dynasty, but also destroy the etiquette of China."
"Your Majesty, please punish Zhang San severely."
I saw many ministers standing up to second their opinions.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wang Anshi immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you call Zhang San to inquire clearly?"
Jiang Zhiqi immediately said: "Grandmaster Wang was also there at that time. I wonder what Grandmaster Wang thinks about this?"
Wang Anshi remained silent.
This legal system is not his idea, and it is not easy for him to argue for Zhang Fei.
Zhao Xu glanced at Wang Anshi, frowned, pondered a little, and said: "This case will be handed over to the Yushitai for investigation for the time being. Yushi Jiang and Yushi Peng will be responsible. If this is really the case, I will never tolerate it."
Jiang Zhiqi was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders."
This case between officials will be reviewed by the Yushitai and then handed over to the Dali Temple for judgment.
If Zhang Fei is not an official, he may be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. If the case is serious, it may be transferred to Dali Temple.
At this time, Zhang Fei was entertaining two good brothers at home.
"Third brother, you really can't get enough of this little hot pot. It's really enjoyable to eat."
Ma Xiaoyi squatted on the chair, pushed away the hot steam with one hand, and almost buried his face in the pot. He fiddled with it for a long time with long chopsticks, and finally picked up a piece of mutton, put it to his mouth, blew on it, and dipped it in sesame sauce. Put it directly into your mouth, it's really intoxicating.
"Xiao Ma, you took away the last piece of mutton, and you didn't even know to let your brother eat it."
Cao Dongdong also drank with his face flushed, shaking his head, and said quite dissatisfied.
"Brother, don't you know the laws of the law? You have to defend your legitimate rights and interests." Ma Xiaoyi said vaguely as he ate the mutton happily.
Is this how this legal system is used? Zhang Fei almost laughed and said, "Just ask Xiao Tao to bring some more."
Cao Dongdong snorted and immediately shouted: "Ms. Gao."
Um?
Zhang Fei glanced at Cao Dongdong, "What did you call my wife for?"
"Ahem, there was a slip of the tongue." Cao Dongdong defended himself guiltily, and shouted again: "Xiao Tao! Xiao Tao! Cut up some more mutton."
Xiao Tao's voice came from outside the hall, "Hey! Wait a moment in the office."
"belch!"
Zhang Fei suddenly burped from wine and put a hand on Ma Xiaoyi's shoulder, "Xiao Ma! You are still loyal. Whenever I am in trouble, you are always the first to come. Third brother is really touched."
When it came to the emotional point, he patted his chest desperately, raised his glass and said, "Come on, Third Brother, give you another drink."
Ma Xiaoyi quickly put down his chopsticks and said carelessly: "The third brother is out of touch. We are brothers. If this brother is in trouble, there is no reason for me not to help him."
Zhang Fei waved his hand, "Then let's stop talking and do it."
"Dry!"
"etc!"
Cao Dongdong blocked him in the middle with one hand and said very dissatisfied: "Zhang San, what do you mean by this? Are you here to eat hot pot?"
Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and said, "Ouch! Look, I'm so drunk that I forgot about my office. I'll punish myself with a drink."
Ma Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "Why punish yourself? Let the three of us brothers have a drink."
"Dry."
The three of them drank it all in one go.
Ma Xiaoyi wiped his lips and asked again: "Third brother, I really think your legal method is very reasonable. You see, my father beat me when he can't convince me. It's really unreasonable."
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "What do you mean? If your father hits you, he will hit you with his right hand. My father is different. My father can draw the bow on both sides. Every time he hits me, I feel as if two people are hitting me." It seems like it, but it’s fatal! Zhang San, tell me how to deal with this situation according to the legal system?"
Zhang Fei said hehely: "Of course you can sue your father for domestic violence, and you can inherit the family property earlier, killing two birds with one stone."
"What are you talking about?"
I saw Xu Zhiqian walking in displeasedly, "Why don't you think it's not chaotic enough outside? You're just talking nonsense here."
She has been really worried recently. There are a lot of discussions outside. The issues between father and son, Tsunada and husband and wife, have become very sensitive. If their words get out, something will happen even if nothing happens!
"Why!"
Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "We are just talking in the room. Don't make a fuss here."
Cao Dongdong said hehely: "I'm just asking casually, where can I really dare to sue my father?"
Do you still blame me? Xu Zhiqian saw that his face was red after drinking, and she couldn't help scolding him: "Drink less, how long has this been?"
"when?"
Zhang Fei twisted his tongue and said: "Those imperial censors and admonishers will also say that if we don't accept it, we will file a lawsuit. This is not the first time we have to compete with them, so don't be afraid."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a violent knock on the door.
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but feel a flash in her mind, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
After a moment, Niu Beiqing's rough voice was heard, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
"Step aside!"
A group of people rushed in, and one of them stretched out his hand to push Niu Beiqing away.
"Ouch!"
Niu Beiqing almost fell down, and he couldn't hold back his bad temper. "You are a thief, how dare you push Mr. Niu."
"big cow!"
Xu Zhiqian saw that the person who came was wearing the uniform of the Imperial City Division, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and hurriedly called out to Niu Beiqing.
Fortunately, those people didn't bother with Niu Beiqing and went straight into the lobby.
Cao Dongdong rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
The leader glanced at Cao Dongdong, then frowned and asked, "Who is Zhang Fei?"
"I am!"
Zhang Fei slapped the table, stood up, and said unsteadily: "What do you want?"
Ma Xiaoyi was drunk and looked sideways at those people, "Yes! What do you want?"
Xu Zhiqian, the only one who was awake, was so anxious that she stamped her feet, "Zhang San, Xiaoma, please shut up."
But it's too late.
"Take it!"
The man immediately ordered.
The officials behind him immediately came forward and captured Zhang Fei.
"What are you doing? Let me go quickly. I'm just Zhang Da'er. Be careful, I'll go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue you."
Zhang Fei immediately struggled fiercely.
When Ma Xiaoyi saw that they were still taking action, it was okay, but they didn't take my little horse seriously.
"Pony, stop it."
Xu Zhiqian stopped and asked the leader: "Why are you arresting people?"
The leader said: "We are here to capture the suspect Zhang Fei on the orders of Yushitai."
With that said, he showed his jail token.
"Taiwan Prison!"
Cao Dongdong opened his eyes and woke up suddenly. He saw clearly the uniform on the person who came. He couldn't help but feel scared in his heart. What kind of combination is the Imperial City Secretary and Yushitai? hut.”
"etc."
The general asked: "Who are you and why are you here?"
Ma Xiaoyi patted his chest and said, "We are brothers of Third Brother."
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "The two of them are brothers. I just came here to eat hot pot. I'm not very familiar with them."
Ma Xiaoyi pointed at Cao Dongdong and said, "Brother, why are you so unloyal?"
Cao Dongdong whispered: "Are you stupid? I'll go bring you reinforcements!"
Ma Xiaoyi snorted, scratched his head and said, "Brother, please go quickly."
"Do you have any accomplices?"
The officer immediately said: "Take them all."
Cao Dongdong suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. I am Cao Yameni, I am the deputy superintendent, and my aunt is the Queen Mother."
Suddenly, a group of officials with big arms and round waists came forward and captured the three of them.
When Xu Zhiqian saw that even Cao Yameni had been arrested, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She was about to step forward to stop them, when she suddenly saw Zhang Fei secretly winking at her.
Could it be.
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but frown, and then allowed them to take the person away.
The three people were directly stuffed into a completely enclosed carriage, and then drove away.
"Ms. Xu, Miz. Xu, who are they and why did they take Saburo away?"
Gao Wenyin, who came to inquire, asked Xu Zhiqian anxiously.
Although Xu Zhiqian was worried, she still pretended to smile calmly in front of Gao Wenyin: "Sister Gao, please don't worry, this is all arranged by us, and Zhang San will be back soon."
"Already arranged?"
Gao Wenyin asked in confusion: "Why?"
Xu Zhiqian made up an excuse at random, "lure the snake out of its hole."
An hour later.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
Three drunkards, Zhang Fei, Cao Dongdong, and Ma Xiaoyi, were pushed into a room and smashed to pieces, and a heavy door was heard.
"Let me out, I am Cao Yanei, are you blind?"
Cao Dongdong jumped on the spot, threw himself at the door, and yelled at the top of his lungs.
What responded to him was the sound of chains.
"Ouch!"
Ma Xiaoyi got up and said, "Brother, what are you afraid of? If you give them some courage, they won't dare to touch you!"
Cao Dongdong became angry and said: "What do you know? This is Taiwan Prison. My father has told me long ago that this place is specially used to treat us, relatives of the emperor, and it is the most terrifying place in Bianjing City."
With that said, he complained to Zhang Fei again: "Zhang San, this time I was really killed by you."
Zhang Fei burped, spread his hands and said, "I'm not a relative of the emperor!"
"you."
"Brother, this prison doesn't look scary at all!" Ma Xiaoyi said suddenly.
"Yeah?"
Cao Dongdong looked around and suddenly found that the room was quite spacious and bright, with a bed, a table, and a small stove. It was really thoughtful! He couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Weird! My father said that this prison is more terrifying than the Kaifeng prison. It is gloomy everywhere. Could it be to scare me?"
"I see."
Zhang Fei said suddenly.
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei and said, "What do you understand?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It depends on who is caught. If you are in the Yamen, the treatment will definitely be different from others."
Cao Dongdong's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "It must be so, it must be so, then it will probably be fine. My father will come to save me later."
When he saw this treatment, he immediately relaxed, sat down on the bed, and said to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, don't worry, my dad will definitely rescue you when the time comes."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Then I'd like to thank Ya Nei for saving his life."
Ma Xiaoyi's drunkenness had not completely dissipated, and he did not feel scared. It was even fresh to be in prison for the first time, so he said: "Brother, why don't you ask someone to bring some food and wine over, and we can continue drinking."
"ah?"
Cao Dongdong said sarcastically: "This probably won't work."
You are the first person to come to Taiwan Prison to drink!
Zhang Fei snorted: "Ya Nei, that's all you have."
Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said, "That's right, that's right."
Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and said, "Let me see if there is anyone outside first."
He called softly: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Brother, if you shout like this, can people hear you?"
As he said that, he shouted outside: "Hey! Is there anyone?"
"What's up?"
I just heard someone outside respond.
Zhang Fei and Ma Xiaoyi looked at Cao Dongdong at the same time.
Cao Dongdong hesitated for a long time before summoning the courage to shout: "Send some food and wine to me."
The man outside immediately responded: "Yamen, please wait a moment."
Cao Dongdong's eyes bulged, were they real or fake?
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly looked admiring, "Brother, you are really amazing."
Cao Dongdong was startled, glanced at Ma Xiaoyi, laughed and said, "You just know now that my aunt is the Empress Dowager. Who dares to starve me?"
Zhang Fei nodded in agreement: "That's that."
Cao Dongdong suddenly had an idea: "Why don't we let them send a few ladies in? It would be too boring for us three grown men to sit in there."
"ah?"
Zhang Fei was shocked, you must have lost your mind.
Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said: "Okay! Okay! With the lady as my companion, I can enjoy this wine to the fullest!"
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei said: "Isn't this bad?"
Cao Dongdong asked: "Why is it bad?"
"Uh, by the way, look, there's just a bed here, and there's not even a cover for it!"
"high!"
Cao Dongdong couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "I just wanted to find a few ladies to have a drink, but Zhang San, you thought it through. This is exciting enough without any cover-up."
As he spoke, he looked around, as if thinking about how to arrange the battlefield.
It’s over! It’s over! This guy is really excited! Brother, I can't cover this up anymore.
Zhang Fei suddenly glanced at the table, "Huh? What is this?"
Ma Xiaoyi took a closer look and saw a large wooden box on the table. He took the lead, came to the table, and opened the wooden box curiously, "Ma crane?"
He grabbed a few casually and took a look, "It's not a horse crane."
Zhang Fei suddenly pointed down, "There is a piece of paper here."
"Let me see!"
Ma Xiaoyi hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, "Mahjong manual?"
Yushitai.
"Well, it's really not easy to catch this kid. We can't let him go easily this time."
"In the past, that kid was hiding in the office. We really couldn't do anything about him, but now he's finally in our hands."
"Brother Jiang, it's up to you this time."
"Don't worry, if this doesn't convict him, I will chop off his head and give it to you to sit on as a stool. Let's discuss the matter. There is definitely something wrong with his legal system. You see, during the discussion in the palace, even Fu Gong, Master Sima, and Master Wang all don’t know how to argue.”
"That's true."
"That's right! How could Zhang Sanxun understand these principles at his age? I think there are probably people who will teach him from behind."
"who?"
"What do you think?"
"Xu Zhongtu?"
"Xu Zhongtu often deviates from the norm when deciding cases and loves to show off. When he overturned the case for Na Dengzhou Ayun, it coincided with the rule of law!"
"Yeah! That makes sense."
The grievances between Yushitai and Zhang Fei are not small!
At the beginning, Qian Yi, Li Zhan, Lin Dan and other censors all suffered at the hands of Zhang Fei.
Things are changing.
Now Zhang Fei finally fell into their hands.
This should not be punished until death!
An official came into the house and bowed to Jiang Zhiqi, "Informing Jiang Yushi that the suspect Zhang San has been arrested and brought to justice."
Jiang Zhiqi said: "Let a few jailers torture him first."
The official hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to Jiang Yushi, Zhang San is not imprisoned in Taiwan Prison."
Jiang Zhiqi asked: "Where is that being detained?"
The official said: "This time, the official personally issued the order. The Imperial City Department sent people there, and they were probably detained there. Just now, the Imperial City Department sent people to ask, Jiang When will the censor be brought to trial?"
A censor immediately said: "It seems that the officials also realized the seriousness of the matter and directly sent the Imperial City Department to arrest the person."
Jiang Zhiqi nodded and said, "The trial will start tomorrow."
