Zhang Fei's answer really surprised Fu Bi.
Because the last time Zhang Fei took on this lawsuit, everyone had actually made it very clear.
This is equivalent to a bet agreement.
Or it can be understood as a competition.
So the charge of "breaking the law by citing precedent" this time is just to make up for the previous lawsuit.
The situation is still the same. If you lose, you will abolish the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures. You cannot change your face and be reborn. If the other party loses, you can no longer use this ancestral law to impeach the new law.
Everyone knows it tacitly!
Fu Bi believed that Zhang Fei would definitely accept it.
However, Zhang Fei now said that even if I lose, there may still be a possibility of establishing the Nine Temples Regulations Office.
You are such a scoundrel.
...
...
Fu Bi said with a slight displeasure: "If that's the case, this lawsuit is meaningless."
If the other party wins, he will gain nothing, so why would he fight with you?
Zhang Fei said, "In response to Mr. Fu, a lawsuit is about the law, not the meaning. From a legal perspective, they are just being unreasonable and making trouble. They don't understand the law at all. Just take the charge of breaking the law by citing an exception. I can silence them with just one sentence."
"Really?" Han Qi snorted, "I don't believe it. Tell me how you can silence them."
Zhang Fei said: "From a legal point of view, the government has the absolute power to set up temporary departments to deal with national crises. I wonder if what I said is right?"
Han Qi nodded and said, "Not bad."
Zhang Fei said: "From the legal perspective, the two government regulations department is just a temporary department. No matter what it is called, it is not important. If you can use precedents to break the law on this point and succeed, it is tantamount to depriving the government of the power to set up temporary departments. But the judiciary does not have this power, so this move will seriously undermine our judicial system. From this, we can draw a conclusion that those who propose to use precedents to break the law are people who do not understand the law. If it is not nonsense, what else can it be?"
Fu Bi and Han Qi looked at each other, their eyes filled with sorrow.
Um!
Speechless indeed.
How could they not understand these things, but they were talking about politics. On the political level, it was only aimed at the establishment of a new department for reform. There was a Secretariat but it was not used, so they wanted to establish a new department for reform. This was obviously something fishy.
Even if it was abolished, it is impossible to say that the emperor could not set up a new department. When fighting on the front line, the emperor often set up temporary departments.
But Zhang Fei was talking about the law, which is two different things.
Based on the law, once an exception is made to break the law, the emperor can cite this case to prevent the establishment of a new temporary department in the future, which is equivalent to depriving the emperor of his power.
Who dares to do this? Even if they want to, they have to do it in a roundabout way and cannot say it directly.
Having said that, we can no longer discuss this topic.
Fu Bi finally asked, "What if the other party accuses us of violating our ancestral laws?"
Zhang Fei frowned and nodded, saying, "The government has just issued the ancestral law, and I am not very familiar with it. Therefore, if they accuse me of this crime, I have no reason to refute it."
Don't you understand?
Isn't this what you did?
What this means is that I accept this accusation.
But what's the use?
After asking this question, Fu Bi asked them to leave.
Han Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This kid is more difficult to deal with than we thought!"
Fu Bi glanced at Han Qi and said apologetically, "If I had known this, I really shouldn't have invited Prime Minister Han to try this case!"
Han Qi hurriedly said, "Mr. Fu, you must not say that. As subjects, we share the worries of our king. This is our duty."
Fu Bi asked again, "I wonder how Mr. Han plans to deal with this matter?"
Han Qi laughed and said, "We are only responsible for the trial. It is common for the other party to refuse to accept the case. We only need to inform Junshi and the others. The rest has nothing to do with us."
Fu Bi nodded repeatedly and said, "Prime Minister Han is right."
yes!
We are here to try the case and ensure fairness and justice. As for your troubles, you can solve them yourselves.
If we come to help you argue with Zhang Fei, we will not be neutral.
This goes against the spirit of the law.
Fu Bi, who didn't want to get involved in this matter, thought this was a perfect explanation.
......
"Good boy!"
After leaving the Political Affairs Hall, Wang Anshi patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder excitedly and said sincerely: "You are braver than me."
Wang Anshi was definitely a tough guy, and he was capable of defying everything, but he didn't dare to speak to Fu Bi and Han Qi like that now.
I have the emperor to protect me, so what should I be afraid of? Zhang Fei said calmly, "They must pay the price for what they did."
Wang Anshi glanced at Zhang Fei in surprise.
Although Zhang Fei's tone was very calm, he could vaguely feel Zhang Fei's anger. This was actually the first time he felt it.
Only then did he react.
It turns out this was an act of revenge.
Before, Zhang Fei was willing to accept this gambling agreement. He didn’t think he would lose. This has not changed now. However, he does not accept this gambling agreement. Let’s solve this legal issue according to the law.
Even if Han Qi came forward, there was no room for negotiation.
You are being hooligans.
OK!
Then I'll play too.
First make sure my client is invincible. Is there anything more rogue than this?
Wang Anshi was, of course, happy to enjoy the fruits of his labor, and said, "But they will never give up."
In this case, the censors and imperial censors would never agree.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Grandmaster Wang, please focus on reforming the country. I will leave these small matters to you. I will never let your 1,000 guan hiring fee go to waste."
Wang Anshi laughed and nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll leave it to you. I won't ask any more questions."
He won't lose anyway.
If you can't win the lawsuit, just change your name.
What a big deal.
Really.
......
Han Qi and Fu Bi immediately sent people to call Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo and told them about the matter. Zhang Fei refused to accept the accusation, and his reasons were irrefutable.
Because to refute would be tantamount to depriving the emperor of his power.
This could cause a catastrophe.
Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang were also shocked.
They also did not expect that Zhang Fei would actually refuse and would use this gangster trick to the end.
Because subconsciously, they believed that Zhang Fei had already gained a great advantage by being able to give a fair and just trial, they never expected that Zhang Fei would ask for an exorbitant price to ensure that he would be invincible.
This is a bit too much!
However, the attitudes of Han Qi and Fu Bi also surprised them. Although they did not say it explicitly, they hinted to them that we are only the chief judges, and now that your charges have been denied, we cannot force a trial.
What I mean is, you can do it yourself.
After leaving the government hall, Wen Yanbo, who was always gentle and polite, could not help but say angrily: "This ear pen really doesn't know what's good for you."
Sima Guang also frowned, "I didn't expect that kid would do this."
Wen Yanbo asked: "Now that we have been fooled by him, what should we do next?"
This is embarrassing!
Feelings are their wishful thinking.
They don't appreciate it at all.
Sima Guang thought for a moment and said, "Please tell Qian Yi, Fan Chunren and others, I will go talk to that guy and find out what he is up to."
Wen Yanbo nodded and said, "Okay!"
But as soon as Sima Guang left, Wen Yanbo regretted his decision. Why did he end up doing this job that was neither human nor human?
If this news were told to Fan Chunren, Qian Yi and others, they would all be furious.
There's no way to appease her.
Alas...I am so tired!
......
Sima Guang had just left the imperial city and had not walked a hundred steps away when he saw Zhang Fei sitting alone under a tea stall drinking tea. He immediately walked over angrily.
He was very uncomfortable being caught in the middle, and when this happened suddenly, how could he not be angry?
Zhang Fei saw Sima Guang coming and immediately stood up and bowed, "Zhang Fei greets Sima Guang, the Grand Secretary."
Seeing that he seemed to be waiting for him, Sima Guang bit his teeth and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
"It didn't take long." Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly and extended his hand, "Sima Daxueshi, please take a seat."
After Sima Guang sat down, he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I once promised Sima Daxueshi that I would get everything back on track."
"Are you getting back on track?" Sima Guang asked excitedly, "You're only making things more complicated?"
Zhang Fei said: "What I mean is the right path, which is to resolve it through judicial means under fair and just circumstances."
Sima Guang was getting more confused the more he listened. "Now that Wang Jiefu is invincible, they will never agree to take us to court."
Zhang Fei explained: "Justice is justice, it is pure and cannot be bargained. From a judicial perspective, Wang Daxueshi is invincible because this is permitted by law and they forced the case. If they can sue whenever they want and sue however they want, is this still the law? This is definitely not the right path."
Sima Guang thought for a while and sighed, "But everything has to be done step by step. You can't reach the top in one step. If you are so serious, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go to court. Then you will only use more despicable means."
Zhang Fei shook his head and smiled: "I think they will definitely accept it."
Sima Guang asked: "Why are you so sure?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "It seems that Grand Secretary Sima was too immersed in the play and even confused the active and passive."
Sima Guang looked at him puzzledly.
Zhang Fei said: "Grand Secretary Sima should know better than me that even if they don't file this lawsuit, they can't stop the establishment of the Three Departments Regulations Department, at least not at the moment. Therefore, this lawsuit is absolutely advantageous to them. They won't lose anything if they lose, so it's better to fight it."
Sima Guang nodded slightly.
really.
Shenzong is not stupid. If he couldn't handle it, he wouldn't do it.
If Zhang Fei had not first filed a lawsuit based on the ancestral law, they would have only been able to make a fuss in the court, which would have been useless. People like Fu Bi, Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Wen Yanbo would not have spoken out about this.
They still have to wait for the new law to come out before deciding what to do.
This was a lawsuit they had picked up for nothing. If they didn't fight it, would it only make Wang Anshi angry?
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "So now it's not me who is begging them to file this lawsuit, but they are begging me. Sima Daxueshi might as well think about it. They can't even get the qualification to go to court, how can they still have the nerve to reason with the emperor? Han Xianggong and Fu Gong rejected their accusations, which is not biased towards me, and they also know that if the law is used to deal with this matter, they will not stand firm."
Yes! Wang Jiefu was unwilling to fight this lawsuit at first, and they asked him to fight it. Sima Guang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Fei, "Does your doing this mean that you have no confidence in winning this lawsuit?"
"No."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "To be honest with you, Grand Secretary Sima, I did this purely to retaliate against those despicable villains. They must be very angry now, calling me a rogue, a scoundrel, and a hooligan, thinking that I played a trick on them, and this is what I expected."
After hearing this, Sima Guang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that you just wanted to vent your anger!
Zhang Fei added: "In fact, they have no legal awareness at all. In their view, the law is just a knife in their hands. It will only cut others, not hurt themselves. This time I plan to teach them a good lesson."
Sima Guang glanced at him and said with a smile, "Do you want to teach them a lesson?"
Zhang Fei nodded and added: "And I think this is an opportunity for Sima Daxueshi."
"oh?"
Sima Guang asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "Only by learning a lesson can they understand the necessity of paying attention to the law. In this way, Sima Daxueshi can use this to promote judicial reform."
Sima Guang's eyes lit up.
Look at the Northern Song Dynasty Chief Justice.8.2.... :
