The Chief Justice's resounding verdict still did not receive applause or flowers.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared blankly at the chief judge.

You heard that right.

Freeze coins?

Is this still possible?

Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were all stunned.

this....

Does the Chief Justice still have this power?

There seems to be nothing wrong with using annual coins to compensate the people, but why were they so surprised and didn't think of it beforehand?

It's just that they don't think the chief judge has this power.

The Sui coin was based on the Chanyuan Alliance and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the relationship with the Liao State was the most important diplomatic relationship in the Song Dynasty.

Freezing the Sui coins is equivalent to freezing the Chanyuan Alliance!

You must know that there are only more than a hundred households, but not all of them have come. If they all came, although it would not be said that the Liao Kingdom was subjugating, there really would not be many left.

Not to mention the power that the political hall does not possess, even the emperor may not be able to make the decision alone.

It is no exaggeration to say that this verdict is even more fatal than Wen Yanbo’s claim!

Suddenly, there was an explosion of cheers outside the hospital.

"good!"

"Well judged!"

"President of the Court!"

...

The people who came back to their senses suddenly felt very excited.

He has to be the president of the court!

The President did not disappoint us.

The sentence is too harsh.

...

They don't care whether the chief judge has this power or not, this verdict is really satisfying.

yes!

Don’t we have to give them annual coins every year?

Let them pay with Sui coins!

...

After their cheers rang out, Zhang Fei slowly stood up and left, leaving a dashing silhouette behind everyone.

After all, this is the first trial held by the Chief Justice, and it must end with applause and flowers. Otherwise, it will not be in line with Zhang Fei's character.

Zhao Xu saw all this. When Zhang Fei came to the hall, Zhao Xu said scornfully: "You really love to show off."

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I am just trying to attract others. When your Majesty solemnly announces to the whole country that the Chanyuan Alliance will be abolished, all people will surely return to their hearts."

Zhao Xu was a little uneasy when he heard this, "Then we have to win first. In fact, you and I both know that now is not the best time to start a war with Liao."

Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we have made the most thorough arrangements. As long as we can win the battle, we have obtained enough evidence, and the Liao Lord will definitely fall into our trap, because for the Liao Lord

In other words, compared to the Sui coins, internal stability is the most important."

Zhao Xu suddenly looked outside again, "Those people outside will definitely not give up. They will definitely hinder you."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's a pity that it's too late!"

...

The ministers who came to their senses immediately fell into panic.

Although the hard-liners in North Korea and China currently have the upper hand, and Song and Liao have become unstable, they believe that hard-line is just a diplomatic method, or a diplomatic strategy, and does not mean going to war directly.

If Wen Yanbo's idea was to go to war with Liao, he would definitely not get much support.

You can get it by shouting loudly, but you can't really do it.

What's more, the hard-liners against Liao led by Wen Yanbo actually do not constitute the majority in the DPRK. However, due to the rising public opinion, those doves are less afraid to speak out, making it seem like they have the upper hand.

But this verdict is tantamount to a declaration of war against Liao.

However, there were only a few ministers in the DPRK who believed that the court was already prepared for this.

But they did not dare to openly overturn the verdict. After all, the public sentiment was turbulent, and all the people were on the side of the chief judge, and no one dared to risk the disapproval of the world.

So they chose to question whether the Chief Justice had the power to freeze the annual coins.

There is no problem with the verdict, but the problem is, why does your chief judge freeze the coins?

In the old judicial system, this situation never happened.

While Zhang Fei was talking with Zhao Xu, they ran to Fu Bi, Zhao Pin, and Sima Guang to inquire.

Does the Chief Justice have this power?

Fu Bi, Zhao Pin and the others couldn't say for sure. They really didn't know whether the chief judge had this power, and they couldn't give a specific answer.

At least they did not verbally support the Chief Justice and believed that the Chief Justice had this power.

Those ministers took this as an excuse and reported to the emperor one after another, hoping that the emperor would immediately issue an order to force the president of the court to withdraw the judgment and choose other ways to compensate the people.

In just one day, Zhao Xu received hundreds of memorials about the case.

But what is the impact of this judgment?

Zhao Xu did not dare to neglect, and immediately held a meeting in Chui Gong Hall to discuss this matter.

"Why does the Chief Justice freeze the annual coins of our and Northern Dynasties? Who gave the Chief Justice the power?"

As soon as the meeting started, the censor Yang Ji asked Zhang Fei.

This censorship has never been monolithic. Behind them, there is actually the support of various forces. After all, many powerful people are inconvenient to speak and cannot even participate in such meetings. Many words have to be said through the censor, because the censor It is the privilege of hearing the news and reporting.

This is why many important officials in the imperial court climbed up through the censorship, because the censorship is a good opportunity to make connections.

This Yang Ji represents the interests of the pro-Liao faction in the DPRK.

After all, the two countries have been in good relations for decades. Although there are many conflicts, the interests are actually very close and the relationship is actually very complicated.

There were also many pro-Song factions within the Liao Kingdom.

Zhang Fei felt baffled when he heard this and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Yang Yushi, I am the great president of the court, can't I even decide a civil lawsuit?"

Immediately, an official stood up and said: "Of course, the chief judge has the right to rule in favor of the people from Hedong, but what we question is that you have the power to freeze the annual coins. This is simply unheard of."

Zhang Fei asked rhetorically: "If you think there is nothing wrong with my judgment, then why don't I have the power to freeze the coins? There is a causal relationship between the two!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Ji said excitedly: "This coin is based on the Chanyuan Alliance. These are all foreign affairs, and they are very important to our country.

If the Chief Justice freezes the annual coins, it will definitely destroy the Chanyuan Alliance. Isn't the Chief Justice interfering in foreign affairs? Is this in line with the system of separation of politics and law? "

Many ministers nodded.

In fact, they have been suffering from Zhang Fei for a long time. In their view, Zhang Fei often uses judicial power to interfere with administration. This is not just once or twice, but every time he can find suitable reasons for himself.

absolve.

But you can't get away with it this time, right? You've already frozen the currency, so what else is it if it's not intervening in foreign affairs?

But when Zhang Fei heard this, he was very angry and said excitedly: "You censors are really good at ignoring right and wrong, confusing right and wrong, and criticizing others."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Ji was dumbfounded.

I've become right and wrong.

Are you serious?

Even Wen Yanbo and the others looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

Where does your confidence come from?

Feng Jing, the censor Zhongcheng, couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and said: "I hope the president of the court will say it clearly. Why did our censor just beat him up?"

Zhang Fei said sternly: "At this moment, it is clear that you are using your foreign affairs power to interfere with our judicial affairs, but you accuse me of using the judiciary to interfere with your foreign affairs. What is this if not a slap in the face?"

"???"

Everyone in the palace had question marks on their faces.

Including Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, who are most familiar with Zhang Fei.

Brother, where did you start with these words?
