Everyone in the classroom could see that things were not that simple.
But after one night, the whole process changed, becoming full of ups and downs and excitement.
Those who opposed Wang Anshi's reform did not turn black into white, but instead cleverly portrayed Zhang Fei as a tragic hero.
Earwriter Zhang San killed his own relatives for the sake of justice. In court, he risked his own life for justice, turned against his own side in the face of danger, and accused the Regulations Office of the Three Departments of violating the ancestral laws.
What a true hero!
You can't say they are lying. This is certainly an explanation for Zhang Fei's behavior in court!
No one can be sure what exactly happened.
This also indirectly reflects that Wang Anshi is unpopular.
Those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters.
The people Wang Anshi hired himself all opposed his reform. Do you think this new law can be a good one?
...
...
Using this as an excuse, they began to attack Wang Anshi again.
However, due to the previous lawsuit involving the historian, the people still hoped that Wang Anshi could reform the yamen service, and a considerable number of people in the society also supported Wang Anshi's reforms.
These people began to criticize Zhang Fei for being treacherous and shameless.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
It not only hit Wang Anshi hard, but also made Zhang Fei unpopular both internally and externally.
After creating public opinion among the people, they began to report to the emperor, using public opinion to demand that he immediately issue an edict to abolish the Regulations Office of the Three Departments.
Of course, there were also many people who submitted memorials to speak fair words for Wang Anshi. For example, Su Che, who had just returned to Beijing, submitted a memorial to the emperor regarding current political affairs. He did not speak directly for Wang Anshi, but he expressed that the country's bad policies could only be solved through reform.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reader to read books and keep up with the latest updates. It has a variety of reading voices and can be used on both Android and Apple. ]
But it made no difference, the number of petitions opposing it was several times more than those in support.
Zhao Xu was forced into a corner and finally issued an order to abolish the Regulations Office of the Three Departments.
After this imperial decree came down, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Some even couldn't believe it.
Is it that simple?
Could it be that I am dreaming?
Or is there a conspiracy?
But it is true that the emperor issued an edict to abolish the Regulations Office of the Three Departments.
This was a fatal blow to the reformists.
It's almost impossible to turn the situation around.
it's over.
it's all over.
......
In response, Zhang Fei chose to hand over the law firm to Fan Li and stayed indoors. He ignored the rumors outside, as he was not in the mood to pay attention to them.
He is still waiting for news from Dengzhou.
Zhang family.
"People outside say that you are treacherous, but I don't believe it."
Ma Xiaoyi lay on the table, looking at Zhang Fei with shining eyes, feeling very aggrieved, as if he had lost the lawsuit.
Zhang Fei asked: "Why don't you believe it?"
Ma Xiaoyi snorted, "With your ability to fight lawsuits, do you need to break your promise? If you really oppose Wang Daxueshi, you can just help the other side win the lawsuit. Why bother with this?"
Zhang Fei blinked and suddenly smiled at Ma Xiaoyi: "The angle you found is quite convincing."
Ma Xiaoyi immediately laughed, stood up, and asked again: "Third brother, what is going on?"
….“Needless to say, Zhang San must have been caught by someone, so he stabbed that Grand Secretary Wang.”
I saw Cao Dongdong with one foot on the stool, picking oranges and shaking his head.
Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong again, "What do you mean by that, Young Master?"
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei and blinked: "It's still related to women, right?"
Zhang Fei frowned: "Yanei! So you...you usually play dumb?"
Cao Dongdong raised his hand and pulled back the headscarf that had fallen from his neck. "That's...what did you say? I have never played dumb before."
"Ahem!" Zhang Fei asked again, "Then I wonder where Yanei got this from?"
Ma Xiaoyi also looked curious and asked: "Yes, yes! Brother, how did you know that?"
Cao Dongdong exclaimed: "I have heard of this kind of thing many times. Zhang San has no family, but he is so lustful. He must have been misled by a woman. Is there any need to think about it?"
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Fei was puzzled and asked, "You said I can do anything, why am I lustful?"
I feel extremely aggrieved. If I were to be reborn, I would still be a virgin!
Cao Dongdong said disdainfully: "If you are not lustful, why don't you just let Madam Gao be given to me?"
Zhang Fei glared at him and said, "If Yanei keeps saying this, we won't be friends anymore."
"Okay, okay, it's just a widow. There are so many widows in the world. Am I afraid I can't find her?"
As he spoke, Cao Dongdong kicked the stool aside, and Taozi, who was standing next to him, quickly stuffed a clean stool between Cao Dongdong's buttocks.
Cao Dongdong sat down smoothly, threw a piece of orange into his mouth, and said with a hint of prestige, "Zhang San, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just a commoner, and you keep trying to get ahead of others. Sooner or later, you'll get into trouble."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei was both angry and amused and said, "Then according to Yanei's opinion, where should I go?"
Cao Dongdong swallowed the orange whole and said, "Come to my house."
Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Why are we going to your house?"
Without waiting for Cao Dongdong to speak, Ma Xiaoyi said, "Brother has always wanted to invite you, Third Brother, to his house to be an idler..."
"What idle guy? He's a military advisor."
Cao Dongdong winked at Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, you come to my house to be my military advisor. You just have to promise that no matter what I do, you can make sure that my aunt won't punish me. I promise that no one dares to bully you, and your woman, how about that?"
He has always been thinking about Zhang Fei, and he is really unwilling to give up.
Zhang Fei smiled slightly: "No."
"Why?"
Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "I have plenty of money and women, why don't you agree?"
Zhang Fei said: "Because this plan is the worst, I have a better plan, which is much better than yours."
Cao Dongdong asked hurriedly: "What's the plan?"
Zhang Fei said, "Just do as..." He pointed his thumb at Ma Xiaoyi, "Brother Hao, hire our law firm to provide legal services to you, Yanei. Before you do anything, you can ask me, and I will tell you whether it is illegal..."
When Cao Dongdong heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Do I need to ask you whether it is illegal or not?"
"Just listen to me first!"
….Zhang Fei sighed and said, “I can tell you how to achieve your goal legally.”
Cao Dongdong's eyes rolled around, "Achieve the goal legally?"
Zhang Fei nodded, "And he won't be implicated by me. Yanei is so smart, he should know that I have offended many people now!"
Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and asked immediately, "How much?"
Zhang Fei said, "Five hundred strings of cash a year."
"Taozi!"
"The villain is here."
"I'll take 500 strings of cash from home later."
"I'll remember that."
"As expected of a young master, he is really straightforward."
"That's enough! That's enough!"
Ma Xiaoyi on the side said impatiently: "Brother, we are here to help Third Brother find a solution, why are you doing business?"
"What help?"
Cao Dongdong snorted, "We can't help you with this, so let's just come and watch the joke."
"Yanei really hits the nail on the head."
Zhang Fei laughed and said to Ma Xiaoyi: "Xiao Ma, I know you value loyalty. It's enough that you can come here at this time. For the rest, don't get involved. Just watch the joke."
I added in my mind that I didn’t know whose joke I was making.
Cao Dongdong rubbed his nose and said to Ma Xiaoyi, "Did you hear that? Zhang San said so himself. It's not that I'm disloyal, but I can't help you with this matter."
As they were talking, Xu Zun and his daughter suddenly walked in.
Xu Zhiqian winked at Zhang Fei quietly.
Zhang Fei stood up excitedly when he saw them. He was about to go over to them, but suddenly he remembered that Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi and the others were still there, so he couldn't help but retract his steps, "Yanei, Xiao Ma, you guys go back first, I have something to take care of."
Ma Xiaoyi wanted to stay here, but seeing that Xu Zun was there too, he had to say goodbye to Cao Dongdong.
After they left, Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward and asked, "My benefactor, Madam Xu, do you have any news about Fang Yun?"
Xu Zun smiled and nodded.
Xu Zhiqian handed a letter to Zhang Fei and said with a smile, "This was sent 200 miles away by express delivery."
This time, Emperor Shenzong spent a huge amount of money and sent people directly from the Imperial City Bureau to rescue Fang Yun. The Imperial City Bureau is the secret agency of the Song Dynasty and is also a very powerful existence.
Of course, it is completely incomparable with the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Fei took the letter and asked again: "Are they trying to scare me?"
Xu Zhiqian shook her head and said, "That's not the case. They really sent people, but they pretended to be the people you entrusted to go to Dengzhou to look for relatives. They also used the excuse that they were not familiar with the road conditions to lure Fang Yun and the Wei brothers to take them to look for them. Fang Yun and his men didn't return home until the fifth day after the lawsuit ended."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a little scared, fortunately he didn't gamble at that time.
Xu Zun said: "But we haven't found any clues yet. Those people may have left Dengzhou."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Those people are just running dogs. The enemy is far away but close at hand. I hope Fang Yun is safe."
He doesn't care who the culprit is, he will eliminate him anyway.
Xu Zhiqian was also happy for him and said, "They still have some conscience and didn't kill him."
"conscience?"
Zhang Fei sneered: "Their consciences have long been eaten by dogs. They let Fang Yun go home, which is the real murder to silence him."
…Xu Zun reacted immediately, "Yes! If Fang Yun really gets into trouble, you can use this as an excuse to file a complaint with the court. In addition, Lord Fu and his men are already suspicious of this matter, so they are very likely to give you a chance to overturn the case. Now Fang Yun is safe and sound. Even if you say someone kidnapped Fang Yun, there is no evidence. Their plan is really thorough."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "I see. I thought... Yes, they have done such unscrupulous things, how could they be so kind?"
Zhang Fei snorted, "Fortunately, I have no intention of overturning the case. Instead, I want to let them see what a thug is."
Xu Zhiqian chuckled when she heard this, and suddenly looked outside the door, "Mrs. Zhang?"
Zhang Fei tilted his head and saw Gao Wenyin standing at the door. He asked, "Madam, is there anything wrong?"
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said, "I...I didn't mean to disturb you. I...I just wanted to ask, has your relative been rescued...rescued?"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "Everything is fine."
"That's great!"
Gao Wenyin was immediately excited, and her watery almond eyes were sparkling with tears of joy.
......
When the night is quiet.
Zhang Fei sat alone on the bed and slowly opened the letter. Although the handwriting and writing style were far inferior to Xu Zhiqian's, the rows of beautiful small characters and simple words made it seem as if Fang Yun was speaking personally in his ear.
This was the first time Fang Yun wrote to him, and the letter also explained a little bit. It turned out that in the past six months, Fang Yun had been learning to read and write just in the hope of being able to write to him.
At the same time, Fang Yun also told Zhang Fei that she had finally been forgiven by the Wei brothers. Now the three of them are like siblings and take care of each other. Moreover, Wei Ada has married. Although she is a lame widow, she is very kind-hearted and keeps the house in order, so he should not worry anymore.
As for the people sent by Zhao Xu, they wanted to take her back to the capital, but Fang Yun expressed that she still wanted to stay in Dengzhou to mourn for her mother.
Obviously Fang Yun didn't know that the group of people who went there before were going to harm her.
After a long while, Zhang Fei was still reluctant to close the letter and said with a smile: "It turns out that caring is also a kind of happiness."
.....
The Imperial Palace.
“Pfft…Hehe…Haha…!”
Zhao Xu was laughing happily while writing the imperial edict.
The eunuch next to him looked curiously, and after waiting for Zhao Xu to put down his pen, he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, why do you keep laughing?"
"There will be something exciting to watch tomorrow. Hahaha......!"
Zhao Xu handed the imperial edict to the eunuch.
......
The next day.
Zhao Xu suddenly issued an edict to temporarily set up the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures, which was jointly headed by Chen Shengzhi and Wang Anshi to preside over the reform.
Su Che, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Duan reviewed the texts and assisted Wang Anshi in formulating new laws and regulations.
Among them, Zhang Duan was recommended by Chen Shengzhi, while Su Che was selected by Zhao Xu. Only Lu Huiqing was Wang Anshi's man.
Li Chengzhi, Li Chang, Wang Ruyi, Du Chun and Wang Zishao were appointed as officials in charge of supervising the implementation of the new law. All of them were recommended by Wang Anshi.
And these people are the young officials who have expressed support for the new law in recent days.
So stupid!
All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
The only thing in my mind was, wow and awesome.
Can we still play like this?
You...you Zhao Xu have no moral principles!
