Chapter 117 Unlocking the bell must be tied to the bell(1/3)
The next day.
Zhang Fei got up early. After all, he hadn't set up a sports mode for his night, so he went to bed early.
When they came to the living room, Gao Wenyin, who was meticulous, had already arranged for Xiao Tao to prepare breakfast.
"Husband."
Halfway through eating, Gao Wenyin suddenly shouted softly.
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Gao Wenyin whispered: "Just now Xiaotao and Li Si went out to buy groceries and heard many people on the street talking about yesterday's lawsuit. Almost all said that the lawsuit was not good for the husband."
"Really?" Zhang Fei was surprised.
"Um."
Gao Wenyin nodded.
Zhang Fei called Li Si over again and asked him about it.
It turned out that this was indeed the case. Many public opinions took his arguments out of context and used them to criticize and distort his remarks. 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 his Twitter with his mouth. He thought to himself, I really underestimated this ancient method.
At this time, Xu Zhiqian came.
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Ms. Xu is here, Xiaotao, hurry up and get that bowl."
"Mrs. 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 Scholar Wang's publicity skills are not good, so he will lose the first move."
Xu Zhiqian sighed softly: "In this aspect, Academician Wang is really not as good as them."
He has such poor propaganda skills and wants to reform. I really don’t know what Wang Anshi is preparing. He will not naively think that if he serves the country and the people, he will be successful. Fortunately, I clearly did not side with him at the beginning, otherwise
, I’m afraid that in the end, they will die together.
Zhang Fei smiled easily: "The role that public opinion can play in this case is limited. After all, it is the ancestral law. It is up to the officials to make a decision. If this is not possible, the worst case scenario is that we will have to fight with them in a court defense."
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "My father said so too."
Gao Wenyin next to him breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fei murmured to himself: "However, this public opinion is always controlled by the other party. For me, it is a hidden danger. How can I litigate for the rich in the future? Can I only blackmail them?"
"......?"
.....
In fact, in the first half of last night, 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 also big Vs such as Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi who help Zhang Fei promote it.
But in the second half of the night, public opinion immediately changed.
This only proves that the other party is really anxious, so they exerted force so quickly, hoping to use public opinion to put pressure on the court while avoiding their own embarrassment.
Before this lawsuit started, many people had already reacted. This lawsuit brought together almost all the contradictions at the moment.
For any party, it is crucial and cannot be lost.
Originally, many officials hoped that through this lawsuit, the scourge of Zhang Fei would be eliminated in one fell swoop, and at the same time, Wang Anshi's arrogant arrogance would be dealt a blow.
I never thought that so many officials would go into battle, only to be defeated again.
This was embarrassing to them.
Wang Anshi's words, "If you have money, give money, and if you have strength, give strength," it completely detonated the entire officialdom.
This is definitely a nuclear bomb.
Previously, Wang Anshi only pointed out the problem in court and did not reveal the specific content of the reform. Everyone just relied on their understanding of Wang Anshi and his political philosophy to guess the direction of his reform.
This time Wang Anshi directly revealed the contents of his reform.
Good guy!
I know you have no good intentions.
You have been tinkering with our feelings for a long time just to try to get our way.
If the imperial court wants to subsidize the poor to serve in the military, then it will inevitably have to expand its finances and increase its financial resources. Now the imperial government's finances cannot make ends meet and cannot come up with money.
Why Shenzong didn't like Sima Guang's reforms was because Sima Guang emphasized not to compete with the people for profit, which made it difficult to quickly solve the court's financial problems.
The main characteristic of Wang Anshi's reforms was to benefit the country, so he used Confucian classics.
According to Wang Anshi, it doesn’t take much thinking to know that taxing those who are exempted from military service will provide extra financial resources. In this way, it can not only enrich the national treasury, but also reduce the burden on the poor.
Who is exempt from service?
Needless to say?
This is more terrifying than the ancestral method.
The entire class of scholar-bureaucrats immediately united the front, but they chose to pick on the weak at first and focused their firepower on Zhang Fei first.
This is the source of all evil.
And although many ministers supported Wang Anshi's reform, they did not want to let an ignorant person set the tone for this ancestral law.
Scholars don’t want that either.
Not only did they create public opinion among the people, but they also accused Zhang Fei in the court of deceiving the public with his monstrous words and falsely discussing the laws of the ancestors, which was a crime of great disrespect.
But Xu Zun and others immediately stood up to speak for Zhang Fei.
When the hall asks you to argue, you don't say anything. Everyone in the hall yells more fiercely than the other. Is it because your purpose is shady?
Lu Huiqing also began to exert efforts among the people, but instead of defending Zhang Fei, he surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, constantly creating topics about the military service law, and subtly leading public opinion to the reform.
This is a matter of great concern to the people, and they are eager to abolish the Yamen Service.
Lu Huiqing continued to show off, and Wang Anshi wanted to abolish the Yaqian service.
The people's demand is to abolish the Yamen Service, and Wang Anshi also wants to abolish it.
Of course I support Wang Anshi.
For a time, Wang Anshi's reputation among the people soared.
Conservatives looked at it and thought, this is not okay!
Two dogs fight, play off.
They patronized the ancestral methods against Zhang Fei, but in the end they gave Wang Anshi an opportunity to take advantage of him.
With internal and external difficulties, we could only quickly ask the emperor to come out and take charge of the overall situation.
It's really strange that the emperor doesn't speak out about this ancestral law.
The emperor also has the most say.
Zhao Xu did not stand up immediately. The reason was simple. I had the advantage and he was not in a hurry. It would be better to fight and distinguish who is the enemy and who is an ally.
Chui Gong Hall was the place where the emperor of the Song Dynasty usually discussed current affairs with his ministers.
"I have already read the court trial record regarding this matter." Zhao Xu nodded, "I think Zhang Fei's argument about the ancestral law is very reasonable."
Liu Shu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zhang San is just a man with a sharp ear. How can he understand the methods of his ancestors?"
Zhao Xu asked: "Why didn't Mr. Liu question Zhang San about this in the hall?"
He was present, and Liu Shuming was the happiest and most embarrassed at that time.
Liu Shu looked a little embarrassed, "That Zhang San is just showing off his rhetoric and excerpting chapters and sentences. I am just a juror and I don't bother to argue 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 ridicule him!
Don't bother to argue with them, lest you lose your identity.
If you can play like this, then I can do it even more. How far apart your status is from mine, you have no idea.
You still disdain?
It's funny but you are serious.
this...?
Liu Shu stepped back awkwardly.
Lu Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Fei is right. Taizong's edict is the core idea of the ancestral law. If this edict is designated as the ancestral law, I also feel that
inappropriate."
Zhao Xu asked again: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jie replied: "Many of Taizu Taizong's policies and ideas are not included in this edict."
Zhao Xu said: "Then you will draw up a copy of the ancestral law and let me take a good look at it."
To be continued...
