In fact, when this incident first happened, Zhang Fei also felt very confused and frightened for a while.
Because he could not make the decision on this matter, even if he was willing to give up, Wang Anshi would not agree. If he did not inform Wang Anshi in advance, Wang Anshi would request a postponement of the trial in court.
Fang Yun is still in danger.
It was Xu Zun's words that woke him up.
This is a lawsuit, not a court debate or a traditional power game.
Since it is a lawsuit, it is purely a legal issue.
If it is a legal issue, you have to follow the law. If it violates the laws of our ancestors, that's fine. Just admit your mistake, change your name, or say something different.
Of course Wang Anshi agreed.
This is a sure win. After all, litigation has risks.
It would also be a good opportunity to recruit some young officials who truly supported the new law and put them in the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures.
...
...
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
When you are in glory, everyone wants to rely on you, but when you are in trouble, those who are willing to support you are naturally trustworthy.
"Sanlang, what...what does this mean?"
Fan Li looked at the contract, feeling very confused.
The Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures hired their Bian Jing law firm to sue the court?
this....
I have never encountered such a situation!
Didn't even think about it.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Isn't it clearly written above? Can't you read?"
"Of course I know all these words, but..." Fan Li's scalp was almost broken by scratching, but he couldn't understand these words when they were connected together, so he asked: "How...how should we fight this lawsuit?"
"How do we fight?" Zhang Fei smiled. "That depends on how they want to fight. When soldiers come, we will attack them; when water comes, we will build dams. I plan to play with them slowly. If the lawsuit of one thousand guan ends too quickly, people will think we are cheating them."
Play with them slowly?
Fan Li took a deep breath, it seemed like the game was getting more and more out of control.
Can you really do this?
Zhang Fei also knew that this kind of thing would be difficult for him, so he said: "Don't be afraid, we are also helping the government to fight a lawsuit. Although the other party is not easy to deal with, it is the imperial court, but life is short, if you don't show off once, you will live in vain for the rest of your life!"
Fan ideally wanted to help the emperor sue the court.
this....
This is really exciting!
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "By the way! How is the business in the store?"
Fan Li was stunned and sighed: "This... How can this be good? To be honest, I have never done this kind of business. When things are good, I can earn thousands of strings of cash a day. When things are bad, I can't even get a penny, and I don't even have a customer."
Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "How about this person?"
Fan Li sighed: "It's all the same."
Zhang Fei frowned and sighed, "This won't work!"
He filed the lawsuit for the development of his firm, but every time he filed a lawsuit, his business was cut off. If this continues, who would dare to come here?
I was scared to death.
The key is that you, Zhang Fei, can’t give much.
As long as Li Guozhong and others also develop tax calculation business, they will be able to snatch away these businesses quickly.
Although they are relatively weak, they are more stable after all.
Fan Li said frustratedly: "What can we do about it?"
You are playing so big, who dares to come?
They just wanted to calculate taxes, but ended up offending most of the officials in the court. The government will protect you, but who will protect them?
The risks are not proportional to the benefits!
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Li and thought, these wealthy businessmen and citizens are all very shrewd and good at changing their attitude according to the situation. They are extremely unstable customers. Now that our foundation is not stable, we cannot rely on them. We must develop a stable base to avoid this roller coaster phenomenon. A stable base......
After thinking for a while, he said to Fan Li, "I will take care of this matter, just go ahead and recruit people."
Fan Li asked, "Shouldn't you be handling that lawsuit?"
Zhang Fei said: "That's just a small problem."
"......?"
......
However, Fan Li does not need to feel inferior about this. He is afraid and he does not understand. That is all natural and reasonable.
Because most of the officials in the court did not understand and did not know what to do next?
In the past, the basic procedure for such matters was that the censors and counselors would make reports, and then the prime minister would step in, citing classics, analyzing the pros and cons, providing arguments and evidence, and ultimately forcing the emperor to revoke his decision.
This is good!
But now this process is obsolete.
It's useless.
To deal with this process, the emperor had only one sentence: You said that the establishment of the Two Prefectures Regulations Office is illegal, right?
Then let’s sue!
If you win the lawsuit in court, then we will change it!
You are so confident and sure of what you say, there is no way you are afraid of going to court!
This resulted in the censors and advisers being unable to use their power!
Court of trial.
"You are the ruler of a country, but you resorted to such shameless tactics. It is really a joke. If I cannot stop you in time, I will be unworthy of being your minister."
Fan Chunren roared with rage.
Sima Guang glanced at him and said, "Fan Sijian, be careful with your words."
Liu Shu hurriedly said: "In my opinion, it must be Wang Anshi who deceived the government to make it do such a heresy. But we must not let Wang Anshi succeed. If so, the country will have no laws and the family will have no rules, and the world will be in chaos."
Wen Yanbo glanced at Liu Shu and said, "Didn't you understand what I just said? The government is going to bring this matter to justice."
Fan Chunren said: "In fact, we are not afraid of appealing to the judiciary. This is also a way to solve the problem. But the problem is that even if we win the lawsuit, what will happen? The government can just change its name. This is useless."
Sima Guang glanced at them and said, "Then let's just forget about it. From my point of view...!"
"How can I forget it?"
Fan Chunren interrupted him directly, "If this sets a precedent, then the government can do whatever it wants, and no one can stop it."
Sima Guang originally wanted to say that they were not in the right in this matter. After all, Wang Anshi had not yet started the reform, but had only set up a temporary organization. If they continued like this, the matter would only get worse.
It is better to wait until the new law comes out. If the new law really benefits the country and the people, how can you still have the face to stay in the court?
But now that things have come to this point, it is impossible to persuade them to back down.
This actually involves the struggle between the power of the emperor and the power of the ministers. If we compromise like this, it will severely damage the power of the censors and imperial censors.
Not to mention that Fan Chunren and others would not agree, even if they agreed, the other ministers would not agree. This would be tantamount to vomiting out what they had eaten.
This is so uncomfortable.
Sima Guang thought for a while and said, "But the emperor has made it very clear. If you are not satisfied, you can only continue to appeal to the law. There is no other way."
The emperor is so open-minded (arrogant), if you don’t agree, you can sue me.
What's the point of relying on your ability to talk?
Then you can only sue him.
Fan Chunren was just about to say that this was meaningless and he could just change his name!
Wen Yanbo raised his hand to stop him, and then asked Sima Guang: "Junshi, if we win, can we make an exception and break the law? If we can make an exception and break the law, we can avoid the government constantly changing the name to promote this matter."
Sima Guang thought about it and nodded, "Logically speaking, this should be possible. After all, there are almost no laws on this subject."
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, let's have another lawsuit. After all, we did win unfairly last time."
Sima Guang seemed a little hesitant. There was Zhang San behind Wang Anshi, and it was he who cited the exception and broke the law. How could he not think of this?
But he couldn't say it out loud, so he looked at Fan Chunren and the others.
Fan Chunren hesitated for a while and said, "We are not afraid of going to court. We just hope to stop the government from doing this recklessly."
Liu Shu suddenly asked: "But where can we go to sue?"
This sentence immediately confused everyone present.
yes!
Where can I sue?
We ourselves are the supreme judges of the Song Dynasty.
If the opponent wasn't the government, we would have been declared the winner.
Above the Supreme Judge are only officials.
They go to complain to the government again, and the defendant is the government again. Isn't this a closed loop?
this.......
Sima Guang thought about it and said, "We can only ask the government to temporarily open a court in the court and then appoint someone to try the case."
Liu Shu asked again: "Who should judge it then?"
The judges are here too.
Let’s review it!
There is no way the other party will agree!
Wen Yanbo sighed, "It seems that we have no choice but to ask Lord Fu to come forward."
However, this seems to be just their wishful thinking. Most officials are unwilling to resort to justice again. We have already won. It is the emperor and Wang Anshi who have no martial ethics and use such rogue tactics. If we resort to justice here, wouldn't it be exactly what they want?
There was a huge quarrel in the court over this.
He asked the emperor to convene a meeting for a debate.
Shenzong always maintained an attitude of abiding by the law. Since what you are accusing me of is illegal, you should resort to judicial means. Or do you want me to judge for you?
The emperor's attitude made them very depressed.
Very inclusive, very open, very fair and very just!
Wang Anshi had only one thing to say to the outside world: I don't have time to argue with you. If you have any questions about judicial issues, please find my ears.
However, Chen Shengzhi, who was in charge of the Regulations Office of the two prefectures, was very panicked about this.
He had never seen this kind of gameplay before.
Government Affairs Hall.
"Jiefu, is it okay to continue like this?" Chen Shengzhi asked a little anxiously.
Wang Anshi sighed, "Brother Chen, please tell me the truth. What did I do wrong? Are they making such a fuss justified?"
Chen Shengzhi nodded and said, "They are indeed a little unreasonable, but it is not a solution to continue like this."
Wang Anshi said, "But if we follow them in making trouble, we won't be able to accomplish anything. The government has entrusted us with reforming the law, promoting benefits and eliminating disadvantages, not arguing with them. In addition, I have entrusted the Bian Jing Law Firm to help us deal with these issues. We must hurry up and prepare for the new law."
Chen Shengzhi said: "How can we implement the new law if we haven't even made it clear?"
Wang Anshi said, "Of course we can! According to the law, the court has not ruled that our establishment of the two government regulations office violates the laws of our ancestors, so we certainly have the power to implement the new law."
Chen Shengzhi had a face full of question marks.
Is this ok?
