Chapter 117

The next day.

Zhang Fei got up early, after all, he hadn't installed a set of exercise modes for his night, so he went to bed early in the morning.

When she came to the living room, Gao Wenyin, who was considerate in every possible way, had already arranged for Xiao Tao to prepare breakfast.

"Husband."

In the middle of eating, Gao Wenyin suddenly yelled softly.

Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"

Gao Wenyin whispered: "Just now Xiaotao and Li Si went out to buy vegetables, and heard many people discussing yesterday's lawsuit on the street, almost all said that this lawsuit is not good for your husband."

"Really?" Zhang Fei was surprised.

"Ah."

Gao Wenyin nodded straight.

Zhang Fei called Li Si again and asked him about it.

It turned out that this was true. Many public opinion took his argument out of context, and then used it to criticize and distort his speech. However, no one said anything that was beneficial to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei is very familiar with this kind of gameplay, but he just replaced Twitter with mouthfeel, thinking, I really underestimated this ancient method.

At this time, Xu Zhiqian came.

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Miss Xu is here, Xiaotao, quickly go to the bowl and chopsticks."

"Madam Zhang, don't bother, I've already eaten." Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Fei again: "Do you know the rumors outside?"

Zhang Fei nodded, "My wife told me just now. It seems that Grand Master Wang's publicity ability is not good enough, and he will lose first."

Xu Zhiqian sighed softly: "Scholar Wang is not as good as them in this respect."

With such poor propaganda ability, reforms are still needed. I really don't know what the hell Wang Anshi is preparing. He wouldn't naively think that if he serves the country and the people, he will be able to succeed.Fortunately, I clearly did not stand on his side at the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid that I would end up hugging him to death.

Zhang Fei smiled lightly: "The role of public opinion in this case is limited. After all, it is the law of the ancestors, so it has to be decided by the officials. If it is really not possible, the worst case is to have an opening defense with them."

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "My father also said so."

Gao Wenyin next to her was a little relieved.

Zhang Fei muttered to himself: "However, this public opinion has always been controlled by the other party. For me, it is a hidden danger. How can I go to court for the rich in the future? Can I only blackmail them?"

".?"

In fact, in the first half of last night, the public opinion was still in favor of Zhang Fei. Although most people did not know the specific situation, at least Zhang Fei left Dali Temple alive.

In addition, there are big Vs like Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi helping Zhang Fei to promote.

But in the second half of the night, public opinion immediately changed.

This can only prove one thing, that is, the other party is really anxious, that's why they exerted their strength so quickly, hoping to use public opinion to put pressure on the court, and at the same time avoid embarrassment for themselves.

Before this lawsuit started, many people had already realized that this lawsuit brought together almost all the current contradictions.

For any party, it is very important and cannot be lost.

Originally, many officials hoped that by taking advantage of this lawsuit, Zhang Fei's scourge would be wiped out in one fell swoop, and Wang Anshi's arrogance would be dealt a blow by the way.

I never thought that so many officials went into battle, but they were defeated again.

This was embarrassing for them.

And Wang Anshi's words of money to pay, power to contribute, completely detonated the entire officialdom.

This is definitely a nuke.

Previously, Wang Anshi only pointed out the problem in the court, and did not disclose the specific content of the reform. People only guessed the direction of his reform based on their understanding of Wang Anshi and his political ideas.

This time Wang Anshi directly threw out the content of his reform.

Good guy!

I know you have no good intentions.

You have been fiddling with feelings for a long time, just to get our idea.

If the imperial court wants to subsidize the service of the poor, it will inevitably expand its finances and increase its financial resources. Now the imperial court's finances are beyond its means, and there is no money to come out.

The reason why Shenzong didn't like Sima Guang's reforms was because Sima Guang emphasized not to compete with the people for profit, and it was difficult to solve the court's financial problems quickly.

The main feature of Wang Anshi's reforms was mainly to seek benefits for the country, so he used Confucian classics.

According to Wang Anshi, there is no need to think about it, but to collect taxes from those who are exempted from service, this is an extra source of income. In this way, it can not only enrich the national treasury, but also reduce the burden on the poor.

Who is an exempt person.

Does this need to be said?

This is even scarier than the law of the ancestors.

The entire class of scholar-bureaucrats immediately united the front, but they still chose to be picky at the beginning, and concentrated their firepower on Zhang Fei first.

This is the root of all evil.

And although many ministers supported Wang Anshi's reform, they didn't want a person with a pen to set the tone of this ancestor's law.

Neither do readers.

Not only did they create public opinion among the people, but they also accused Zhang Fei of deceiving the public by making false statements and discussing the laws of the ancestors, which is a crime of great disrespect.

But Xu Zun and the others immediately stood up to speak for Zhang Fei.

If you ask them to argue in class, you don't speak up, but in the class, one screams louder than the other. Is it because your purpose is shady?

Lu Huiqing also began to make efforts among the people, but instead of defending Zhang Fei, he surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, constantly creating topics about the labor law, and subtly leading public opinion to reform.

This is what the people are very concerned about, and they are eager to abolish the Yaqian Army.

Lu Huiqing continued to let the wind go, Wang Anshi wanted to abolish the Yaqian campaign.

The appeal of the people is to abolish the Yaqian army, and Wang Anshi will also be abolished.

Of course I support Wang Anshi.

For a time, Wang Anshi's reputation among the people soared.

Conservatives see it, this is not okay!

Two dogs fight, play off.

They patronized Zhang Fei's ancestral method, but in the end Wang Anshi had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Difficulties at home and abroad, we can only quickly ask the emperor to come out to preside over the overall situation.

This ancestral law, the emperor does not come out to speak, it is really strange.

The emperor is also the one with the most say.

Zhao Xu didn't stand up immediately, the reason is very simple, I have the advantage, he is not in a hurry, just fight to distinguish who is the enemy and who is the ally.

The Chuigong Hall is the place where the emperor of the Song Dynasty usually discussed current affairs with his ministers.

"I have already read the trial record of this case." Zhao Xu nodded, "I think Zhang Fei's argument for the ancestral law is very reasonable."

Liu Shu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zhang San is just a man with a pen, how could he understand the law of his ancestors."

Zhao Xu asked: "Why didn't Langzhong Liu question Zhang San about this in class?"

He was there, and Liu Shuming was the happiest and most embarrassing at that time.

Liu Shu was a little embarrassed, "That Zhang San was just showing off his rhetoric, picking out sentences from chapters, and the minister is just a jury, so I don't bother arguing with him, lest I lose my status."

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and fell silent.

what does this mean?Liu Shu glanced at the emperor in surprise, and suddenly realized that the emperor was using his words to mock him!

Disdain to argue with it, so as not to lose its identity.

You can play like this, so I can do it even more, you don't know how far your status is from me.

Do you still disdain?

Funny you guys are serious.

This.?

Liu Shu stepped back in embarrassment.

Lu He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Fei's words are indeed reasonable. Taizong's edict is the core idea of ​​the ancestor's law. If this edict is designated as the ancestor's law, I think inappropriate."

Zhao Xu asked again: "What's wrong?"

Lu Hui replied: "Many policies and ideas of Taizu Taizong are not included in this edict."

Zhao Xu said: "Then Qing will draft a copy of the ancestral law, and let me take a good look at it."

Lu Hui panicked and said, "I dare not."

Zhao Xu glanced at him: "About the law of the ancestors, Qing and others usually speak clearly and logically, so today I want to ask you a question, what is the law of the ancestors?"

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other tacitly, but neither said a word.

".!"

No one can answer this question.

Because in their hearts, it is the law that restrains the emperor.

There is no way to answer this!

"When do you want to understand what the law of the ancestors is, and when will we talk about it again. I'm a little tired! Let's stop here for today's meeting."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu got up and left.

Anyone can see that the emperor is angry.

After playing for a long time, it turns out that the ancestor's method is up to you.

What you say is what you say, and what others say is a lie to confuse the public.

The meaning of the emperor is very clear.

You want to veto Zhang Fei, all right, come up with your ancestral law.

But no matter what, this time the law of the ancestors must be adjusted.

It cannot be left to you.

Take it!

I still don't believe it, we people are not as good as a person with a pen.

It has to be said that all the civil servants of the Great Song Dynasty are talented and full of knowledge, regardless of whether they are traitors or virtuous officials, in terms of talent, none of them is really a generation of famers.

In less than three days, the ancestral law they formulated was released.

They first showed it to Sima Guang, and the ghostly Sima Guang asked them to show it to Han Qi.

The law of the ancestors is about seniority.

In terms of seniority and seniority, Han Qi, the patriarch of the three dynasties, is definitely the number one!

He is best qualified to speak.

So Liu Shu went to Han Qi with the method of his ancestors.

"The law of the ancestors?"

Han Qi was holding a book that was as thick as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and everyone was stupid.

Liu Shu nodded embarrassingly.

It's too watery!

Han Qi saw it until he lost all desire, but he still gave them a little face, flipped through it casually, and felt that it was cool, this is not a law, this is clearly a history book, and it is one sentence, one sentence, There are also a lot of repeated opinions, which can be seen to be written by many people. Suddenly, he looked surprised: "Are you confused? This is obviously what Fan Gong said, so why did you write it in?"

Liu Shu said embarrassingly: "But Fan Gong is also citing the law of the ancestors."

They have no choice. Originally, this net was invisible. Now that the emperor asked them to weave it, they must set up a method that will ensure the ancestors, so that the emperor cannot break free.

After Han Qi finished listening, he directly handed the Ancestral Law to the butler beside him, "Hurry up and burn it."

He turned his head to look at Liu Shu and the others again, and said earnestly: "This matter is irreversible. In fact, even if the edict is formally designated as the law of the ancestors, there is nothing wrong with it. When you quote the law of the ancestors, it will be the law of the ancestors." It’s more justifiable.”

Liu Shudao: "But that's just an edict!"

Han Qi saw that this person was so incomprehensible, and he was not as good as those conservatives back then, so he couldn't help but said: "Prevent things, control them, any policy can quote this sentence."

This is professionalism. As long as you know how to play, this ancestral method can still restrain the emperor, but it is more useless than before.

Liu Shudao: "But... But Wang Jiefu can also quote this edict."

He was referring to reforms. Once the tone is set, the law of the ancestors will provide great support for Wang Anshi's reforms.

Han Qi frowned, "As far as the current situation is concerned, even if there is no such incident, it will be difficult to stop it. The key is that the officials have made up their minds."

Having said that, he sighed, "But don't worry, the officials know the general situation and won't judge Zhang San to win."

Liu Shudao: "What does Mr. Han mean, that the officials will sentence Zhang San to lose?"

Han Qi said: "That's not true."

"What then?"

"The person who needs to tie the bell to untie it!"

Han Qi said: "It depends on what that kid really wants?"

This hurts my self-esteem!

Liu Shu said depressedly: "Mr. Han, this!"

"What is this?" Han Qi said angrily, "It's impossible for you to not want to take responsibility for the lawsuit like that."

If the lawsuit is won, then you can say whatever you want, but if the lawsuit is so virtuous, it is really a bit whimsical to want to turn defeat into victory just by talking about it.

The emperor is not a fool.

The ministers were arguing endlessly, and the people were also very anxious. This lawsuit has been going on for several days, but there is no movement at all. What happened?

Only Zhang Fei, who muddied the water, is very relaxed now.

At this time, he was sitting at home playing Go with Xu Zun.

"Will you come down, you should go down here."

"You play or I play, I want you to talk more!"

"I've never seen someone so stupid as you."

Xu Zhiqian, who was watching the battle, was furious at Zhang Fei's chess skills. The two quarreled and quarreled, and they won.

"Win? Hey. I won!"

Everyone in Zhang Fei was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to win the bet.

Xu Zhiqian was also dumbfounded, and said to Xu Zun, "Daddy, did you let him do it on purpose?"

Xu Zun gave them a hard look: "You guys are arguing here that I'm dizzy. How can I do this? If you want to do it to you two, I won't do it."

Xu Zhiqian and Zhang Fei looked at each other, then turned their faces to one side.

Xu Zun shook his head helplessly, and said to Zhang Fei: "It's almost time, if you keep arguing, something will change, you should hurry up and hand over Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing, and Longshan to Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Yes."

Zhang Fei shouted: "Li Si! Li Si!"

"Third brother, you call me!"

"You go and ask Cao Yanei and Ma Xiaoyi to come to my house for dinner tomorrow night."

"Hey."

After Li Si left, Zhang Fei called Shi Tingxiu again, "Go and inform Feng Laoqi and the others, and tell them to take action tomorrow night. The code name for the operation is to throw yourself into the trap."

Shi Tingxiu said: "Yes."

Xu Zhiqian cautiously said: "Isn't your arrangement a little too hasty, and Cao Yanei, Ma Xiaoyi and the others are involved."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I just want them to know, this is my condition."

the next night.

"Zhang San, why are you so kind today, asking us to come over for a drink?"

Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.

Zhang Fei said: "I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"I think this lawsuit has to continue. I will ask you to be my assistants next time. Would you like to?"

"Really?"

Ma Xiaoyi jumped onto the chair excitedly, "Third brother, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Can I lie to you about this kind of thing? Last time, many officials thought that it was not appropriate for Mrs. Xu to be a woman, and Li Si was more afraid of that occasion. You are the most suitable candidates."

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes: "I heard that there is a lot of trouble in the court, so you'd better choose a better solution for this matter!"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Brother, if you don't go, you won't go, I will go."

Cao Dongdong glanced at Ma Xiaoyi, "Little Ma, brother is doing it for your own good."

"What's good for me? You can't go, so you don't want me to go." Ma Xiaoyi snorted.

Cao Dongdong looked at Ma Xiaoyi with envy and hatred.

Of course he wanted to go too, but his father had already told him not to get involved in this matter.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Just the pony!"

"Hey hey!"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, if I move here to live, I can go with you anytime."

"Huh? Oh, look!"

Just at this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "There are thieves!"

"A thief?"

Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi's spirits were lifted up. It is so difficult to meet a thief at home. I never thought that they would meet tonight. This is really a double blessing. With a whoosh, the two rushed out.

"Where is the thief?"

"Sister-in-law! My big cow is here to save you."

"Thief, my little horse will meet you."

Hey ho ho ho!

After Zhang Fei finished sipping the wine in his glass, he heard no movement outside, so he went out, only to see Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing, and Long Shan being ruthlessly pressed to the ground by Ma Xiaoyi and Tao Zi.

Cao Dongdong knelt down and asked, "Who is sister-in-law?"

Zhang Fei wondered: "Ya Nei, shouldn't you ask who they are first?"

Cao Dongdong stood up and stood aside without asking, as if to say, who are they, none of my business.

Ma Xiaoyi clapped his hands, and said in a low mood: "These little thieves are really too weak, they fell down before I could use any real means."

Niu Beiqing's black face turned red, I made it so obvious, can't you see it?You are blind!

Li Si suddenly asked: "Third brother, how do you plan to deal with these three thieves?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Of course they are going to Kaifeng Mansion!"
