Chapter 728 Showdown(1/3)
"is it so serious?"
Wang Anshi felt guilty, but also had some doubts about Zhang Fei's words.
If there really is such a big problem, there's no way he wouldn't know about it!
Among Wang Anshi's new policies, the equalization method was the smoothest.
"If it wasn't serious, I wouldn't do it."
Zhang Fei suddenly said with a serious expression: "Although it has not caused riots yet, this trend is indeed getting worse day by day. By the time there is a real problem, it will be too late no matter what you do."
Wang Anshi couldn't help but frown.
Regarding Zhang Fei's judgment in business, he still believed in it. After all, Zhang Fei had used many examples to prove his talent in this area.
After a while, Wang Anshi sat down and said in a low voice: "But if these problems really exist, then it may be detrimental to the New Deal at the hearing!"
He couldn't think of a way to make up for this.
In the final analysis, his main goal is to increase national wealth and reduce national expenditure, and the rest is not that important.
Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Wang should know that hearings are different from court defenses. Court defenses rely on one's own speculation to argue, but everything actually has two sides, and often no one can convince anyone.
As for the hearing, as the name suggests, it is about using evidence to speak. Likewise, everything has two sides. It will certainly not only talk about the disadvantages, but also the advantages of equalizing the losses.
Then the solution is very simple. Summarize the pros and cons, weigh the gains and losses, and use this to improve the entire equalization method. I guarantee that it will never affect the equalization method. On the contrary, it will improve the equalization method and make it more popular across the country. It will also make
The New Deal has also become healthier.
But if you don’t make up for it, you will end up going bankrupt.”
Wang Anshi glanced at Zhang Fei, a little suspicious in his heart, thinking that Zhang Fei was exaggerating, because this was also Zhang Fei's usual trick, but he thought of another thing, and thought, judging from the current situation, it seems that the official family
I no longer support me unreservedly. This will definitely shake the confidence of the officials below in the New Deal. Then I must find another way to strengthen the support of the officials below in the New Deal. This hearing may be able to give support to the New Deal!
After weighing this, Wang Anshi agreed to Zhang Fei's suggestion.
But this was what Zhang Fei expected. If he couldn't convince Wang Anshi, he wouldn't dare to do it.
However, Zhang Fei miscalculated this time. He thought that Wang Anshi agreed because he was moved by his own theory.
Little did he know that what Wang Anshi was most worried about now was the emperor's attitude towards the New Deal. If he lost the emperor's support, the New Deal would become difficult to implement.
Although at present, the emperor still supports the New Deal, it is certainly no longer unreserved. Therefore, Wang Anshi hopes to make the New Deal stronger through hearings.
In the past, anyone who opposed the New Deal was simply kicked out.
In his early years, when Su Che was setting up the Ordinance Department of the Second Prefecture, he pointed out the shortcomings of the uniform transfer method. As a result, Wang Anshi directly ridiculed Su Che, who only knew how to talk, and then kicked out the Ordinance Department of the Second Prefecture. Fortunately, Sima Guang was also reforming.
Su Che just entered the public security bureau and was not demoted.
But the situation is changing, and Wang Anshi has to make corresponding adjustments.
The key point of this hearing is that, as Zhang Fei said, everyone speaks with evidence and no longer talks. Wang Anshi is also very confident in this.
He never lost confidence in his ideas and his new laws.
He also knows that there are definitely problems with the new law, but as long as the benefits outweigh the problems, there will be no problem.
After Wang Anshi returned, he found Deng Wan and asked him to communicate with others, saying not to worry, as our New Deal would become stronger as a result.
In fact, it is comfort.
It has to be said that people within the reformist faction are really panicking now. It has only been a few days since Xue Xiang was released, and people are coming to complain again. It is endless.
Everyone had no idea, and they were all speculating on what the emperor was thinking.
Because in feudal society, if the emperor is very supportive of you, this situation usually does not happen.
When this happened, did the emperor's attitude change?
What's even worse is that they haven't been able to put pressure on the Public Prosecution and Procuratorate. You think they just rescued Xue Xiang by filing a lawsuit from the Procuratorate. It's only been a few days, and they can't retort that the Public Procuratorate and Procuratorate are unfair.
This is too fake.
On the contrary, the conservatives are now very united and twisted into a rope, and they are full of confidence in this.
They sincerely believe that they are right and Wang Anshi is wrong, and they are not afraid to discuss the matter as it stands.
...
This also caught the Yushitai off guard. The Procuratorate was much braver than they imagined, and they even felt a little sympathetic to each other.
The Procuratorate has just secured Xue Xiang's life, and if it sues the Shipping Department again, it will really be unpalatable to both parties.
And only the Yushitai can do this kind of thing. The Yushitai will never fall to one faction and impeach both sides. This is because of the system of the Yushitai, the Yushitai Zhongcheng has no right to interfere with the Yushitai's complaint.
The censor also often impeached the censor Zhongcheng.
There are already a mixture of reformists and conservatives in the censorship. The reformist censors will impeach the conservatives, and the conservative censors will impeach the reformists.
The prosecutor's office seems to be doing the same thing now.
"I just found out the information. This time it is Sima Junzhi who is behind the scenes."
Peng Siyan spoke to Jiang Zhiqi from the bottom.
After Jiang Zhiqi heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Let me just say, those Jiangnan businessmen have taken advantage of others and lost the lawsuit. They dare to retaliate against the shipping department in the capital. There must be someone behind them."
As he said that, he asked again: "Will the procuratorate prosecute him?"
Peng Siyan said: "Currently the procuratorate is still investigating and has not made a decision, but I guess it will still be accepted. The previous lawsuit made Liu Shilang and others very dissatisfied. They thought Zhang San was Wang Jiefu's person. Obviously Sima Jun really wanted to
This proves that the Public Security Bureau can still check and balance the Ordinance Department of the second government. If they do not accept it, Sima Junshi and the others will definitely not support the Public Security Law."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Zhiqi nodded and glanced at Peng Siyan, "What do you think?"
Peng Siyan said: "It's not what I think, it's what everyone thinks."
Jiang Zhiqi said: "But Wen Gong believes that the trump card can only be used to intimidate. If it is really used, it may offend the officials."
Peng Siyan said: "We can borrow someone's hand to hand it over, who knows. Anyway, our Yushitai will be out of the matter by then, so why not just add fuel to the fire to the Procuratorate and see how the Public Security Bureau handles it, otherwise
If so, we really can’t swallow this breath.”
Jiang Zhiqi nodded slightly.
In that lawsuit, they actually had one trick that didn't work, and that was the affair between Xue Xiang and the emperor. They had already hinted to the emperor that if you wanted to protect Xue Xiang, then we would investigate the internal treasure trove.
But later, the emperor still passed the Yushitai's judgment.
Of course, the Yushitai did not reveal this matter. Of course, Wen Yanbo also contributed to it, because he suppressed it and never mentioned it.
But Yushitai really didn't expect that he would be able to stay out of the incident so quickly and watch the fire from the other side. Then...it would definitely add fuel to the fire.
On the other hand, the Procuratorate really didn't expect that they would file a complaint right after they had just finished fighting such a fatal lawsuit.
They all knew in their hearts that the other party was targeting Xue Xiang, and they could not let Xue Xiang serve as the Third Chief of Staff.
But this time, the procuratorate's attitude is obviously in favor of these businessmen who complained. The reason is also very simple. This bowl of water must be balanced. It just accepted Xue Xiang's complaint. If it had not accepted these businessmen, the conservatives would have
I really won’t give them support. Most of the key public security officials are conservatives.
Although there are relatively few people in the Procuratorate, because Su Shi and Fan Chunren, who were initially in power, were all kicked out, and Xu Zun is not a conservative. He only promoted young officials who were familiar with the law and had no background.
But the basic base is still on the conservative side, including the chief court president Zhao Pin, who also supports these businessmen's complaint. What's more, there are many ministers in the DPRK who represent the interests of these businessmen and landlords.
However, after studying for a while, they found that this technology was somewhat inadequate.
Today, Xu Zun will hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the case.
Wang Gong was the first to say: "After our review, we found that what those businessmen said is indeed reasonable. The uniform transmission method has many shortcomings, and it does affect the people's livelihood on Southeast Six Roads.
If this was done by a businessman, this matter would definitely be sued, but the Shipping Department represents the imperial court, and it is not illegal for the imperial court to conduct these acts."
If the court has a monopoly, can that be called a monopoly? That's called caring for the people.
If the imperial court is speculating, can that be called speculation? That is called macro-control.
In the past, this was the job of the prime minister, supervising the emperor and changing policies, but it was suddenly delegated to the judiciary, which was very difficult to deal with.
Xu Zundao: "Isn't there corruption, bribery, and forced buying and selling?"
Qi Ji sighed: "Some people have complained about these two points, but they have not provided specific evidence. Although this is very likely to be true, because the shipping department is a big buyer, and those merchants certainly want to sell goods to Shipping.
The shipping company, then there must be something fishy here, but the problem is that they don’t say whether they bribed the shipping company, but accuse others of doing so, so they have no concrete evidence.”
Wang Gong added: "Some people accuse the shipping department of reselling other goods, but as long as the money goes into the national treasury, it is legal, because there are very few legal restrictions on government buying and selling. In general, If striving for interests with the people is a crime, then you can definitely sue, but striving for interests with the people is not a crime. However, our legal system is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, so it seems wrong to turn a blind eye."
This last sentence is actually a hint to Xu Zun that there must be competition for interests with the people, which is not as good as Wang Anshi's propaganda, and this is the point of view that Sima Guang and others have always emphasized. This is an ironclad fact, so if we If the procuratorate doesn't take action, Sima Guang and the others will definitely be very unhappy.
Zhang Fei suddenly said: "In this case, it is better to hold a hearing and lay out all these things. If we can't sue, then we have no choice. We have done our best."
Qi Ji and Wang Gong's eyes lit up at the same time.
yes!
How could I forget this hearing?
The Cheng Fang case was handled in the same way last time.
The two cases actually have many similarities.
The main reason for suing Cheng Fang was the abuse of people's power and the destruction of people's houses and fields. However, the law is very condoning to the government's behavior. After all, this is a feudal society.
