"Well said!"
Zhao Xu, who was sitting in the hall, was very excited after hearing Zhang Fei's defense. He stood up and waved his fist, saying indignantly: "These censors usually like to confuse people. If you talk about the laws of our ancestors, they will talk about the ancestral system. If you talk about the ancestral system, they will talk about the laws of our ancestors. Now I can say that I have taught them a lesson. Good! It feels great."
Being young and energetic, he did not care about so many things and spoke directly from his heart.
Lan Yuanzhen, who was standing next to him, saw this and smiled without saying anything.
Zhao Xu really grew up under his care, and he had suffered a lot for this in the past!
After all, he was young, and the court was full of veterans from three dynasties. He had to be respectful when speaking to everyone, and these censors never gave him face. He had been holding this resentment in his heart for a long time.
......
Zhang Fei's helplessness, pain, and depression undoubtedly gave Fan Chunren two loud slaps in the face. Fan Chunren, who was used to standing in the middle, wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. For a moment, he had no idea how to refute.
Although his previous extreme one-for-one exchange built the prototype of the court in later generations, it was only by accident. His purpose was not to pursue the court structure, but to face Wang Anshi directly.
And his habitual thinking is limited to court debates.
...
...
Court debates are about quoting from classics and talking about the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.
Obviously, he not only confused ancestral systems and ancestral laws, but also confused morality and law.
When you are in court, you are fighting the law.
Follow the rules of Xiao and Cao?
You are serious about being funny.
The conservatives on the side were no longer as proud as they had been before. They had finally managed to pull Wang Anshi out, but ended up refutating the first question.
Moreover, this issue is very critical, but it has been abandoned just like that. Many people feel deeply sorry about this!
Wang Anshi didn't say a word and sat in the best viewing seat.
hateful!
In fact, Wang Anshi was also very unhappy. I would also answer this question, but it might not be as insulting as yours, but...but I will just sit here stupidly. This is not my style, Wang Anshi!
Han Qi tilted his head and whispered to Fu Bi, "What do you think, Mr. Fu?"
Fu Bi pondered for a moment and sighed, "In this court, the law should be put first."
If we don't do this, that kid will start to blame Mr. Fan again, and it will never end.
Han Qi also thought so. After all, the emperor had already set the ancestral law, so it had to be followed. The key point was that the ancestral system was not applicable in the court because it had been changed many times. He coughed and said, "The ancestral system is the ancestral system, and the ancestral law is the ancestral law. They cannot be generalized."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "Unless you can prove that there is a necessary relationship between the two, otherwise, it is better not to use the ancestral system to avoid confusing the public."
Upon hearing this, Fan Chunren sat back angrily, his face as red as a monkey's butt.
Han Qi looked at Zhang Fei again.
Zhang Fei stood up, but he was not in the habit of standing in the middle.
Xu Zhiqian on the side immediately sent two inquiring glances.
Zhang Fei is ready.
Xu Zhiqian knew it in her heart, and a hint of worry could not help but flashing in her eyes.
Zhang Fei asked Qian Yi, "As an imperial censor, it is said that Censor Qian has the power to report to the emperor upon hearing any news."
"I object."
Fan Chunren immediately stood up and asked, "Does this have anything to do with this case?"
If you don't let me live an easy life, how can I let you live an easy life?
The conservative officials behind him clenched their fists to cheer him on.
Don't give me face, oppose to death.
Zhang Fei explained calmly: "As the plaintiff in this case, shouldn't we ask about the motives and reasons behind his complaint?"
Fan Chunren was slightly stunned and asked, "But what does this have to do with the power to report to the emperor upon hearing the news?"
Zhang Fei said: "I must find out whether Censor Qian has confused the court complaint with the impeachment."
Fan Chunren snorted, "How could Censor Qian not even understand this?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Fan Sijian, speculation is not allowed in the court. Everything must be based on evidence. If you say it is clear, then it is clear. If you say it is not clear, then it is not clear. Then why don't you just rule that I lose? Wouldn't that be more fun?"
Han Qi also said: "There is nothing wrong with this question."
Qian Yi also gave Fan Chunren a look that urged him to stay calm.
Fan Chunren sat back down awkwardly.
It seems like you have the final say!
Qian Yi looked directly at Zhang Fei, nodded and said, "We, the censors, have the power to report to the emperor upon hearing any news."
Zhang Fei asked, "Are all the memorials received by Censor Qian based on the law?"
Fan Chunren was ready to make a move, but he didn't know whether he should object. Suddenly, someone behind him said to him, "Calm down, don't be impatient, wait and see how he asks. If you are so impatient, you will only make people laugh at you."
Fan Chunren looked back and saw Sima Guang nodding slightly.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and calm himself down. He thought, yes! I am still a little impatient. Litigation is different from court debate. I will see how he asks questions first.
Qian Yi shook his head and said, "Probably not."
Zhang Fei asked again: "I wonder what it is based on?"
Qian Yi answered in an orderly manner: "It is based on the high or low morals, the pros and cons of governing the country, the gains and losses of the monarch, and the laws of the court."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Does Censor Qian agree that there are many problems in the country, including the three redundancies?"
Qian Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Zhang Fei asked again: "So when faced with these problems, should the government do nothing or do something?"
Qian Yi said: "Of course we should do something."
Zhang Fei said: "Do these actions include some policy adjustments and personnel transfers?"
Qian Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "That depends on how to adjust and mobilize."
Zhang Fei said: "The question I asked is, should it be adjusted or transferred? You just need to answer yes or no."
Qian Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
When dealing with problems, no matter whether the policy is good or bad, adjustments and mobilizations are necessary.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Does the government have the legal authority to set up a temporary agency to handle national emergencies?"
Qian Yi said: "Although the government has power, the country already has the Secretariat and the Privy Council, so why should we set up another department?"
Zhang Fei said: "So, Censor Qian acknowledged that the government has the legal power to set up a temporary agency to handle national emergencies, but he is suspicious, puzzled, and puzzled about this behavior."
Qian Yi looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously, then nodded.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I believe that Censor Qian is absolutely conscientious in his duties. This is reasonable to question. But it can also be seen that Censor Qian is only suing the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures for violating the ancestral law based on his censorial duties, not based on the law itself. The purpose of doing so is just to put pressure on the government in order to achieve his own political goals. In fact, Censor Qian also knows that the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures is not illegal, but Censor Qian feels that this move is not good for the country and the people."
"I object."
Without waiting for Qian Yi to answer, Fan Chunren stood up excitedly and shouted loudly.
This time he was really anxious.
"I'm done asking questions."
Zhang Fei sat down directly and glanced at Fan Chunren with a smile.
Xu Zhiqian lowered her head and said excitedly: "Your question is really brilliant."
Zhang Fei said regretfully, "I was really not well prepared, so I just asked casually. Otherwise, I might have asked him questions that would have made him doubt the teachings of Confucius and Mencius."
Xu Zhiqian asked doubtfully: "Is it true?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course it is true. These imperial censors are used to speaking freely. If they can get me this evidence, believe it or not, he will hang himself when he returns."
......
Wen Yanbo couldn't help but said in frustration: "Is it so difficult to defeat Zhang San in court?"
Sima Guang remained silent.
Lu Gong said with emotion: "It's not just difficult, it's simply a nightmare."
Zhang Fei’s questions were completely contrary to their habitual thinking.
They never imagined that the duties of the Censor would have such a huge loophole.
After this round of questioning, everyone knows that you, Qian Xi, came to file a complaint only for political purposes, not based on the law. In other words, you, Qian Xi, came to file a complaint not because of whether the establishment of the Two Prefectures Regulations Office is illegal, but because you, Qian Xi, think that it is not good for the country, so you came to file a complaint. It is simply a child's play!
But in court, there are no pros and cons, no gains and losses, only whether it is illegal or not.
The reasons for this complaint are not valid. Do you still have the nerve to sue me?
Han Qi and Fu Bi both shook their heads.
This answer is completely nonsense and is tantamount to confessing one's own mistake.
Han Qi looked at Fan Chunren again and said, "You little rascal, try your best and don't embarrass your father."
Fan Chunren also realized that the situation was very unfavorable to him. He took a deep breath, stood up, and recalled Zhang Fei's questioning skills in his mind. He asked Wang Anshi again: "Grand Secretary Wang, can you explain to us in detail the establishment of the Two Prefectures Regulations Office?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fei, only to see that boy still whispering with Xu Zhiqian, and he felt a little relieved.
Wang Anshi replied: "The main responsibility of the two government regulations office is to preside over the reform. In one sentence, it can be summarized as changing customs, making laws and regulations, so as to benefit the whole country."
Fan Chunren nodded slightly and asked, "Since it is called the Regulations Office of the Two Government Offices, it must have some connection with the Secretariat and the Privy Council..."
"I object."
Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Just based on the name, Fan Sijian concluded that the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Office is related to the Secretariat and the Privy Council. This is too ridiculous."
Fan Chunren ignored him and asked Wang Anshi directly: "I wonder if the establishment of the two government regulations office involves administrative power?"
Zhang Fei didn't care and sat back.
Xu Zhiqian whispered: "This question is fatal!"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I have already explained it to you."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "Did you guess that he would ask this question?"
Zhang Fei said: "This is the biggest loophole in this case. How could I not have thought of it?"
The most vague thing about the establishment of the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures is that no one knows what power this Regulations Office has. Zhao Xu only gave the explanation that it was in charge of the reform.
The conservatives looked at Wang Anshi with both excitement and nervousness.
Hoping Wang Anshi would make a mistake.
No matter how you answer this question, it’s wrong.
It’s really a great opportunity!
Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "Not involved."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Su Shi frowned and said, "This Wang Jiefu is not much better than that Censor Qian!"
Fan Chunren couldn't hide his joy on his face, and asked again: "Does this involve financial power?"
Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "Not involved."
“Does it involve military and political power?”
“Not involved.”
Wang Anshi still shook his head.
Fan Chunren couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly said, "I've finished asking questions."
