The people of the Northern Song Dynasty were really terrified at the mention of conscription, and although Zhang Fei fought several lawsuits related to the yamen service, he never thought that he would receive a conscription notice one day...

What is my identity?

As the name suggests, he eats at three different restaurants and has a father-in-law who works at the Dali Temple.

Let me serve?

How is that possible?

Zhang Fei came back to his senses and didn't take it seriously at all, sleeping very soundly.

However.......!

The next day at noon, Fan Li hurried to Zhang's house and told Zhang Fei some very bad news.

"no?"

Zhang Fei looked at Fan Li in surprise, "Why?"

...

...

Fan Li also looked at Zhang Fei in confusion and shook his head, "I don't know either."

Zhang Fei asked excitedly: "Did you go there?"

"I just came from Kaifeng Prefecture." Fan Li spread his hands: "They just said no."

Zhang Fei pulled him and whispered, "You didn't stuff enough!"

Fan Li sighed, "This is your business. I dare not be careless. I stuffed a silver ingot into his pocket, but they took the silver and told me it still didn't work."

"You...didn't you say before that this was just a small matter?"

"It's a small matter."

Fan Li nodded and said, "My family has always done this. I have never served in the military, and neither has my son. I don't know why, but they won't let you pay to be exempted from military service."

Zhang Fei said: "Then I will hire someone to serve in my place."

"No way." Fan Li said: "After the people from Kaifeng Prefecture took my money, they made it very clear that there were instructions from above that you must serve in person."

"I see."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be filled with anger, "I know, they are taking revenge, they are taking revenge on me."

Fan Li nodded and said, "I think so too, Sanlang. These Yaqian servants are deadly. They are going to torture you to death."

Zhang Fei panicked, "No, I have to go find them and ask for an explanation."

He rushed out of the door, got on the carriage, and headed straight for Kaifeng Prefecture.

This time, the officers at the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture did not stop Zhang Fei. They all greeted him with a smile.

"Zhang Da'erbi, please come in."

"I'll see."

Zhang Fei looked at their politeness and suddenly felt like he was at a Hongmen Banquet. "My fellow officers, won't you... stop me?"

The officer said with a smile: "Why stop us? We will be traveling together soon."

The four police officers all showed sinister smiles.

Fuck! If I fall into your hands, how can I survive? Zhang Fei hurriedly entered the door.

"Hey! Zhang Daerbi is here."

Li Kai was also out of character. He seemed extremely happy to see Zhang Fei. Seeing Zhang Fei was about to salute, he hurriedly said, "No need to be so polite! No need to be so polite!"

Zhang Fei's mouth twitched constantly, and he put down his hands and asked, "Li Tongpan, everyone can pay to be exempted from military service, why can't I?"

Li Kai snorted, "Who told you that anyone can pay to be exempted from military service? Find this person and I'll ask him. Those who can pay to be exempted from military service either have family difficulties or are not competent for the job, so hiring someone to do it can help the government. If you can help Kaifeng Prefecture hire a Zhang Daerbi, I will also allow you to pay to be exempted from military service."

Zhang Fei's eyebrows twitched, and he frowned and said, "President Li, let's not say these polite words to each other. You are taking revenge for your personal gain."

Li Kai laughed and said, "Then go ahead and sue me! Aren't you good at suing officials?"

“.......!”

How to tell this?

Although the imperial court has regulations in this regard, in certain cases, one can pay to be exempted from military service, which does not constitute bribery, but ultimately it depends on whether the government agrees.

Many people want to pay to be exempted from military service, but the government does not allow it.

This system was not formed until after Wang Anshi's reform.

Huang Gui at the side couldn't help but joked, "Zhang San! We are not from the same family, so we don't even belong to the same door! Haha! You like our Kaifeng Mansion so much, and now it's as you wish, shouldn't you be happy?"

Li Kaizhi nodded and said, "What Huang Zhubu said makes sense."

Zhang Fei saw that the two men were in cahoots with each other and had evil eyes, so he knew that there was no hope of begging them for help.

Without saying much, he left immediately.

As soon as he left Kaifeng Prefecture, he went to find Wang Anshi.

"Master Wang, you have to make the decision for me! If it weren't for Master Wang, I wouldn't have offended Kaifeng Prefecture. Now they are using the yamen servants to settle their personal grudges. I...I...!"

Zhang Fei cried miserably with tears and snot.

What are you talking about? I just filed a few complaints, but you have already offended people before. Wang Anshi said insincerely: "How dare they do this? Don't worry, I will help you. Go back and wait for news."

"Thank you, Grand Secretary Wang. Thank you, Grand Secretary Wang."

After leaving the palace, Zhang Fei thought to himself, there are more people who hate me in this court than in Kaifeng Prefecture. After all, Wang Anshi is only the leader of the reformists, and the opposition will definitely try to kill me. No, I have to go find Sima, the Grand Secretary.

d!

I eat at three different restaurants. If you want to mess with me, dream on.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Fei went to find Sima Guang again.

"service?"

Sima Guang stroked his beard and said, "Everyone needs to serve, you..."

Have you ever served it?

Zhang Fei immediately glanced at Sima Guang.

Sima Guang added: "Of course, Jinshi is not necessary."

“......!”

All right! You are so cruel! Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Master Sima, I am so busy that I don't have time to serve, but I am not unwilling to fulfill this obligation. I am willing to hire someone to replace me. I will hire two, no, I will hire five people.

But Kaifeng Prefecture specifically asked me to go there in person, which is clearly targeting me, a personal vendetta!"

Sima Guang nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask for you, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhang Fei bowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Grand Secretary Sima, thank you, Grand Secretary Sima."

With the bonus of the Gemini buff, Zhang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't plan to ask Xu Zun for help on this matter. Judging from the facts, this was indeed his duty, and it was not considered unfair treatment at the moment. If Xu Zun helped him, he might be using his power for personal gain.

But when he got home, he still told Xu Zun.

Xu Zun really couldn't say much. He just comforted Zhang Fei. If Kaifeng Prefecture wanted to take revenge, he would never let Kaifeng Prefecture succeed.

The implication was that if Kaifeng Prefecture made a fair and impartial decision, then he would really have no say.

On the second day, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang actually made some efforts and helped Zhang Fei to ask why Zhang Fei was not allowed to pay to be exempted from military service or hire someone to serve in his place. The Kaifeng Prefecture had to give an explanation.

But the result is an overwhelming public outcry.

It would have been better if they didn't ask. Once they asked, the officials knew everything.

Dancing with joy.

Hey kid!

Oh, heaven! Oh, earth!

Which genius came up with this idea?

That's amazing.

Zhang Fei must be convinced in this battle.

No matter how much money he spends, he is not allowed to evade military service.

They have hated Zhang San for a long time.

We finally caught him, we can't let him go!

The censors and imperial censors shouted that anyone who dared to exempt Zhang Fei from military service would be impeached to death.

Even many officials and literati ran to Kaifeng Prefecture and told Li Kai, "Don't be afraid, we have stopped Wang Anshi, just do whatever you want."

.......

Dali Temple.

"Xu Sishi, you have seen it, I have tried my best, but..."

Wang Anshi said to Xu Zun with a face full of shame.

Sima Guang, who was standing by, also stroked his beard and sighed, "This is a trivial matter, but Kaifeng Prefecture is following the rules. Those people are holding on to it, and we are helpless!"

Xu Zun knew how serious the situation was, and it really wasn't their fault. Those censors and imperial censors really treated Zhang Fei like a prime minister.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Usually they only become so crazy when they are impeaching the prime minister.

Xu Zun suggested in a low voice: "Can we recommend Zhang San as an official to avoid this?"

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other.

Wang Anshi said, "Even if the two of us recommend him and the government agrees, it may be too late. They will definitely find a way to delay it. Right now, there are only two of us supporting Zhang San in the court, and if you count Lu Huiqing, there are only three."

Xu Zun sighed, "It doesn't matter if I serve in the army, but I'm afraid they will take revenge on me."

Sima Guang immediately said, "Then I guess they wouldn't dare. After all, Zhang San is your son-in-law, Xu Zhongtu. If Zhang San is really wronged, he won't swallow his anger."

Xu Zun added: "Zhang San is weak and has never done any work, but he can't do any hard labor."

Wang Anshi couldn't help but frowned.

Sima Guang immediately said, "I have inquired very clearly. The reason why Kaifeng Prefecture refused was that Zhang Fei had special talents that the government lacked, so they could not let him go. In this case, they must have let him do work related to the law."

"Yes, yes, Junshi's words make sense." Wang Anshi nodded and said, "If Kaifeng Prefecture dares to let Zhang Fei do something beyond the law, we will definitely impeach Kaifeng Prefecture."

Xu Zun thought that it was not impossible to work in the legal field. He then asked, "How long will the service be?"

Wang Anshi immediately said, "It won't be long. Once my new law is issued, you can pay to be exempted from military service. It will only take one autumn at most."

Sima Guang glanced at Wang Anshi without hiding the truth, and wondered in his heart, "We agreed to punish Zhang Fei, so why are you bringing up the new law now? This is simply using personal interests to gain public benefits."

Although Xu Zun was not an honest man, he never expected that Sima Guang would collude with Wang Anshi to trick Zhang Fei.

This is impossible.

He can only blame his son-in-law, who was too arrogant in court and accumulated too many enemies.

.......

When he returned home, Xu Zun told Zhang Fei about this.

Zhang Fei was amazed after hearing this: "Neither Wang Xue Shi nor Sima Xue Shi could help me get rid of this yamen duty?"

Xu Zun sighed: "Except for the two of them, all the ministers in and out of the court support Kaifeng Prefecture. They can't do it alone!"

Zhang Fei felt dizzy when he heard this. "Father-in-law, if I fall into their hands, then I...I'm done!"

Xu Zhiqian also realized that something was wrong and said, "Yes! Daddy, from top to bottom in Kaifeng Prefecture, there is no one who doesn't hate Zhang San."

Xu Zun said: "That's not the case. I have discussed it with Wang Jiefu and Sima Junshi, and I guarantee that you will not be wronged. Besides, the work you are doing is related to the law, and the term is only one quarter."

Zhang Fei was still somewhat reluctant. This was definitely sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. He said, "How about I... I'll go talk to the official."

Xu Zun thought for a moment, "If the government intervenes in such a trivial matter, it will probably arouse everyone's suspicion and reveal your relationship with the government."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly.

His relationship with Zhao Xu is a crucial card and cannot be easily exposed.

Xu Zun added: "As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, it is your duty to do something for the country. In fact, I have always hoped that you can use your talents to serve the country. Although this Yaqian Yi can only do so much, I believe you can do better."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei knew that he would definitely not be able to escape, and said: "If I were engaged in legal work, I could help a little. I'm just afraid that they would ask me to carry manure, then......!"

Xu Zun said: "Don't worry, it's impossible. The reason they refused your exemption from military service is that you have special talents. The work they asked you to do must be related to the law. I guess you will do some clerical work in the Records Department."

Zhang Fei sighed and thought, you guys are so cruel, this time I admit defeat, after I finish my service, if I don’t turn your Kaifeng Prefecture upside down, I won’t believe you.
