In fact, the conservative officials did not really want to force Sima Guang to resign. In fact, Sima Guang's conservative base was still very stable. After all, he was the one who sent out all the people outside, such as Su Shi, Su Che, Fan Chunren et al.

They just hope that Sima Guang will put pressure on the public prosecutor and the law. At least you have to stand up. As the leader, you don't even say a word. How can we support you?

It was Sima Guang who felt that he was ashamed of everyone. He also wanted to expel Xue Xiang from the court, but at the same time he did not want to put pressure on the public security organs, so he could only resign. Being caught in the middle, he felt uncomfortable.

Now Sima Guang not only stood up, but even directly stated that he would defend the rights and interests of businessmen and landlords. This is really exciting.

And having said that, this is actually the correct way to use the public prosecutor's law.

Initially, conservatives supported Sima Guang's judicial reform in order to compete with the New Deal.

How to contend?

It's defense, not offense.

Because at the beginning, conservatives judged that the New Deal would definitely compete for the interests of the people. If the interests of the people could be protected, there would be no need to fear the New Deal. This is a kind of check and balance.

On the contrary, Yushitai is aggressive.

Therefore, although both are aimed at the equal loss method, the entry point is completely different. Yushitai directly accuses the officials of the Shipping Department and wants to convict them.

What Sima Guang said is to protect the rights and interests of businessmen, and this is what the public prosecutor and the law are good at.

As far as this lawsuit is concerned, the main purpose of the Public Security Bureau is to protect Xue Xiang's interests, rather than to kill Yushitai. At most, it will be humiliating.

Therefore, whether to choose the Yushitai or the Public Security Bureau is actually an offensive and defensive decision.

Now that the offense is unfavorable, it is natural to switch to defense.

...

After the emperor made the decision, the Yushitai first withdrew the arrest warrant against Xue Xiang, but it only withdrew the charges against Xue Xiang, not that the entire judgment of the Yushitai was overturned, and then the imperial court gave the final verdict. Declare Xue Xiang innocent.

The tacit understanding is unspoken.

On the day the verdict was announced, Xue Xiang was released.

Procuratorate.

"Xue Xiang is so virtuous and capable, how dare he trouble Mr. Wang to greet him in person?"

Xue Xiang, who had just arrived in the front yard, saw Wang Anshi chatting with Xu Zun, and immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands.

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "You have returned in triumph this time. I also feel guilty after encountering such twists and turns. In addition, I stopped by to thank Prosecutor Xu for seeking justice for you."

Xue Xiang also hurriedly thanked Xu Zun.

Xu Zun said hurriedly: "You two are serious, this is our responsibility."

Xue Xiang asked Xu Zundao again: "Why don't you see Zhang Prosecutor?"

Before Xu Zun could speak, Wang Anshi hummed: "That boy went home to take his son."

"ah?"

Xue Xiang was stunned.

Xu Zun was embarrassed and silent.

In fact, when Wang Anshi came here today, he originally wanted to talk to Zhang Fei, but he didn't know that that guy was on vacation again. He really wasn't going to litigate or go to work!

After the three chatted for a few words, Xue Xiang and Wang Anshi left.

After getting on the carriage, Xue Xiang suddenly said to Wang Anshi: "Ms. Wang, I heard that Prosecutor Zhang just welcomed his second son. Do you think I should go to his house to congratulate him and thank him for clearing my name?"

"After so many years, you really haven't changed at all!"

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "That boy is not short of money. His ability to make money is even greater than yours in corruption and bribery."

"Yes...really?"

Xue Xiang said in surprise.

Wang Anshi added: "Those people in the court always accuse you of following the trend and often giving gifts to others. Wouldn't you change your mind?"

Why are so many people impeaching Xue Xiang, including Sima Guang, Fan Chunren and others who don't like Xue Xiang? There must be some problems.

Xue Xiangzhen never fails to give gifts or flatter others, which gives people a very low-level feeling.

When Wang Anshi recommended Xue Xiang to be the shipping envoy, Xue Xiang gave Wang Anshi a very precious purple ginseng, but of course Wang Anshi did not accept it.

Xue Xiang smiled bitterly, "My husband has been talented since he was a child, and his writing skills are beyond the reach of people in the world. He has won the favor of many prime ministers. The lower officials are not as talented as my husband. If you don't know this worldly thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it now."

Nothing is accomplished."

For example, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were already well-known when they were young. Later they followed Bao Zheng and Han Qi, and everyone had to give them three points of noodles. They had the capital not to bow down.

Although Xue Xiang is also an official of the N generation, his family background is relatively ordinary, and because his grandfather has a good relationship with Ding Wei, he is not very popular. At the same time, he does not have Wang Anshi's talent. If he does not flatter and give gifts, he can

Getting promoted step by step?

It's obviously impossible.

Wang Anshi waved his hand, "That's all, that's all, I'm too lazy to talk to you, but when you serve as the third envoy in the future, don't do what you did before."

He and Sima Guang were almost impeccable in terms of personal ethics, but the difference was that Sima Guang would never associate with someone like Xue Xiang. No matter how much Xue Xiang agreed with his governing philosophy, Wang Anshi was different, and Wang Anshi was even more

I care whether you agree with my governing philosophy.

Xue Xiang looked happy and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Thank you so much, Mr....!"

"okay!"

Wang Anshi raised his hand and said: "As long as you remember one thing, you will live up to my support of you."

Xue Xiang immediately said: "Please give me some advice."

Wang Anshi said: "Don't be greedy for this power, and don't be intimidated by them. Do it boldly. If you succeed, you will leave your name in history. If you fail, you will just go home and retire."

Xue Xiang frowned, nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

In fact, in this case, Wang Anshi realized for the first time that the emperor had grown up and no longer obeyed him. He seemed to be interested in going to the front desk, but his character was that if you use me, I will do something drastic, which is impossible.

Like Sima Guang, I have become hesitant and at worst I will go home and farm.

Therefore, the emperor's attitude could not affect his determination.

However, he was worried that this would affect Xue Xiang and the others, so he wanted to vaccinate Xue Xiang.

...

At this moment, Zhang Fei is really taking care of his children at home. As long as the lawsuit is over, he must take a vacation. He doesn't want to touch ordinary official duties, which are too cumbersome.

"Xiao Xing'er! Xiao Xiao Xing'er...!"

"Groggg!"

"Ha ha!"

I saw Zhang Fei lying beside the bed, making the baby giggle, making him laugh too.

As a mother, Xu Zhiqian sat aside and read the official documents, "Oh... this is so unfair. It is clear that Yushitai has many problems in this case, but the court did not even blame him. Could it be that

For Duke Wen’s sake.”

This workaholic. Zhang Fei rolled his eyes quietly, then gently held his son in his arms and turned around, "I think there are some factors in this aspect. But it is by no means the main reason. Think about it.

, Among all the official offices, which official office the emperor hates the most is the Yushitai, but no emperor has ever said that he wants to abolish the Yushitai."

Xu Zhiqian said: "I didn't say that I would cancel the censorship, but at least I should hold them accountable. There were many censors who were punished in the past."

Zhang Fei kissed his son's little face and said casually: "In this case, if the officials want to hold the Yushitai accountable, the impact will be very serious. It may give the ministers a misunderstanding, that is, the public prosecutors and the judiciary are above the imperial court."

On the stage of history.

However, the fact is that the officials may not think that the Yushitai is at fault, because the duty of the Yushitai is to kill the wrongdoer rather than let it go. So..."

He looked up at Xu Zhiqian and said with a smile: "Don't complain, maybe Yushitai is more depressed than you."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What are they depressed about?"

Zhang Fei said: "In any case, this case has set a precedent, that is, the procuratorate can intervene in Yushitai's case. This is enough. If we go one step further, it will be more harm than good for our public prosecutors."

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Zhang Fei explained: "Because our procuratorate can intervene, the Yushitai's report is not that terrible. This will win the support of many ministers for the public prosecutor's office, because it also leaves them with a way out.

But if the power of the Yushitai is greatly weakened, then the Public Security Bureau is the existence of a great evil person, and the Public Security Bureau is not the Yushitai, and we will soon be in a desperate situation."

Even if Yushitai came to the door and stretched his head in front of Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei would not move. Instead, he would send them back safely. From the beginning to the end, he was pursuing a balanced relationship instead of a dominant family.

Because he knows very clearly that the existence of a dominant public prosecutor's office will be very scary. In comparison, the Yushitai is a scumbag. Therefore, he has been suppressing the checks and balances of the public prosecutor's office and maintaining power with other people.

A state of balance in the officialdom, which only strives for right and wrong, rather than fighting for power and gain.

...

Fufu.

"What's the situation at Yushitai now?"

Fu Bi asked Wen Yanbo with a smile.

Wen Yanbo laughed and said: "What else can I do? Of course I am very frustrated, and I threatened to send someone to keep an eye on everyone in the public prosecutor's office."
