Cao Ping's words really woke up those powerful people. Looking back, the cause of these things was that they forced Zhang Fei to serve.
Isn’t it said that this battle in front of the Yamen is a battle of death?
How come it’s the wrong way this time!
It almost suffocated them.
As the saying goes, it is never too late to mend!
immediately!
Hurry up!
immediately!
Get this brat out of here!
This is what the powerful people in the court think.
...
...
Based on everything that happened before, this matter must not be delayed, because the previous license plate task has not been completed yet, and this kid immediately came up with the street infringement tax.
If we don't hurry up, if he comes up with some tax again, it will be endless.
Stop loss in time.
When I walked out of the house, I saw an old man with a straight back standing across the street.
Zhang Fei immediately came over and said, "I hope I have not disappointed Mr. Sima."
"Not only am I not disappointed, I got a great bargain!"
Sima Guang chuckled and glanced at the document in his hand. "If you want, you can continue to stay in the police station."
Zhang Fei glanced at the document, shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it! Now the hatred is focused on me. Only if I leave can the police station get back on track. If I stay, the struggle will become endless, but the meaning of the police station is not this."
Sima Guang stroked his beard and laughed, "You are a really strange person. If you say you are considering the overall situation, you will definitely report any flaws. You pushed the manure cart to the Gu family to collect taxes. But if you say you are vindictive, you are more thoughtful than anyone else. Indeed, it is the best outcome for the police station if you leave now."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and asked, "So what are your plans next?"
Zhang Fei said, "Let's go back to the office. I have a lot of things to deal with."
Sima Guang frowned: "Don't you have any plans to enter the government?"
Zhang Fei was stunned. "I remember that Scholar Sima did not approve of my entering the government at first?"
Sima Guang said: "Although you were famous at the beginning, you were just a minor official after all. You had no status and no achievements. Your ability was limited to litigation. Even if you were to enter the government, you would probably be a minor official who would not take care of anything.
This is a different time. You have made the greatest contribution in this reform. If you become an official, you will be able to take on important responsibilities. This judicial reform has just begun."
The meaning is very clear, which is to let Zhang Fei come to the court to assist him in carrying out judicial reform.
In the past, Zhang Fei was seen by others as a big whistleblower who was well versed in the law, but this time Zhang Fei showed extraordinary talents, and Sima Guang admired him very much.
Although he was a conservative, he was definitely not on the side of the powerful and the landlords. He himself was penniless. Why should he serve those people and do things for love? Before the party struggle, he always served his own political ideals.
Moreover, the philosophy he insisted on was to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease. For example, when there were too many officials, his advice to the emperor was to streamline the bureaucracy, cut staff and save money, which was the same philosophy as Fan Zhongyan.
This will also offend a lot of people.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Now the powerful officials in the court regard me as a thorn in their side. If Scholar Sima gets too close to me, he will probably be implicated. Shouldn't Scholar Sima push the blame on Scholar Wang?" .... "I'm not that mean." Sima Guang snorted, "As for your worries, I'm not afraid of them either."
Zhang Fei said: "But this is not a good time after all. Let's talk about it after I mend my relationship with them."
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, "You...you can still repair your relationship with them?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "In fact, those dignitaries are all my potential big clients. I can't always offend them."
"Tell me how you repaired your relationship with them."
Sima Guang was extremely curious about this.
If you can fix this, you are amazing.
Now those powerful people want to tear him into pieces.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Master Sima, have you forgotten about the charity organization? I can provide them with a safe haven."
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said, "How many people have joined your charity now? They have many ways to avoid taxes, so they don't need to rely on you. Besides, yours is a charity after all, and the land donated is not theirs legally. They donate a lot of money every year, and they are not stupid, so how could they be fooled by you?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this Sima scholar. I have my own way to get them to join my charity organization. If Sima scholar can help a little and add icing on the cake, that would be even better."
Sima Guang asked: "What help?"
Zhang Fei said: "It is to write an article for my charity, focusing on distributing wealth to the people."
Sima Guang hesitated for a moment, "I can help you with this, after all, you have helped me a lot, but you have to promise me not to do anything weird, otherwise, I will be the first one to not forgive you."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Master Sima, don't you trust me when I do things? Even if something goes wrong, you won't know about it."
"Um?"
"Oh no!"
Zhang Fei said: "What I mean is that if something goes wrong, I can solve it as soon as possible."
"Okay then! I'll help you write one." Sima Guang nodded, and suddenly asked, "By the way, you just said that I should recommend you to Wang Jiefu?"
Zhang Fei said quickly: "I was just joking."
Sima Guang did ask seriously: "If Wang Jiefu recruits you, will you go?"
"ah?"
Zhang Fei looked hesitant.
Sima Guang hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand me. If you can really help Wang Jiefu, I would actually be happy to see it."
At this time, there was no party struggle yet, and he and Wang Anshi only had different ideas, rather than opposing each other just for the sake of opposing as it was said later.
Sima Guang's idea at this time was not to hope that Wang Anshi would fail, but to hope that he could change Wang Anshi's original intention.
Because he could not change the emperor's mind, the emperor's attitude was very firm and he supported Wang Anshi.
Although Zhang Fei also used some tricks in the rectification process, he also recognized that it was harmless. Moreover, Zhang Fei's approach seemed somewhat similar to Wang Anshi's. He also hoped that Zhang Fei could optimize Wang Anshi's new law.
Zhang Fei didn't know what he was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't do that."
Sima Guang said: "In my opinion, Wang Jiefu still trusts you."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "That being said, my approach is not suitable for Wang Xueshi. Wang Xueshi wants to reform the law to improve finances, but I only pursue strict law enforcement. I haven't changed anything, so it's much simpler." Sima Guang glanced at him and said, "In other words, you don't think highly of Wang Jiefu's new policy, either?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I dare not say that, but I always insist that governing a country starts with governing the officials. If the officials are corrupt, even a genius will be powerless to save the situation. But if the officials are clean, I'm afraid even tying a dog will do the trick."
Sima Guang said angrily: "What do you mean by tying up a dog? Who are you scolding?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Let me give you an example to illustrate the importance of official administration."
"Officials are in a clean and honest state!"
Sima Guang could not help but sigh: "It takes a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick. How can it be easy to do so?"
Then he looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you."
Zhang Fei bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sima, for your understanding."
But I was thinking in my heart, Mr. Sima, don't worry, I will enter the officialdom soon, but this is not something you can arrange.
......
The Imperial Palace.
"Sir, I heard that the reform of the General Police Department has achieved unprecedented success."
"Yes."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "Zhang San's talent has indeed impressed me. I think he is a pillar of the country. Your Majesty must not let him go."
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Sir, are you going to bring Zhang San to the Regulations Department?"
Wang Anshi said: "I do have this idea."
He is already looking for help. He previously thought that Zhang Fei could help him more among the people, so he did not force him. But now the new policy is about to be announced, and Zhang Fei has shown extraordinary talents, so he decided to recommend Zhang Fei.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "In fact, I have always had this in mind. Zhang San's philosophy coincides with yours...!"
But before he could finish, Wang Anshi said, "That's different. The key to Zhang San's reform this time is the law, not finance. If we follow his way, we will offend many people, but the national treasury will not be enriched, and the country's ills cannot be improved."
Zhao Xu asked, "Is there nothing worth learning from, sir?"
Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment and said, "If I were asked to do this, I could actually do it, but I have to admit that if I were in his position, I couldn't do it either."
Zhao Xu hurriedly said, "Sir, please don't be modest. Zhang San's success is also inseparable from your support."
“That’s not easy!”
Wang Anshi said: "The only thing I can learn from this is Zhang San's talent. Frankly speaking, I am not as good as Zhang San in understanding human nature and choosing between interests, which is also the key reason for his success."
Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, "I can see this too. No matter what, Zhang San is indeed a promising talent. You can make the decision on this matter, sir."
"I obey your command."
After Wang Anshi left, Zhao Xu's expression suddenly changed. He was full of sorrow. He sat on the couch and thought for a long time. Suddenly he looked up and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go and make arrangements immediately. I want to see Zhang San."
"Yes, sir."
......
General Police Station.
"That's outrageous! Why should they let you complete your service early? I won't agree to that."
When Cao Dongdong heard that Zhang Fei was leaving, he immediately became anxious.
Ma Xiaoyi also said: "Third brother, we are doing a good job in the police station, why are you leaving? Why don't you stay here?"
Cao Dongdong asked again: "Zhang San, I will promote you to the position of police chief, how about that?"... "Dong'er, do you have this ability?"
Cao Ping, who was sitting on top, spoke.
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "Dad, you can't let Zhang San go!"
Cao Ping ignored him and looked at Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, what do you think?"
Zhang Fei said: "I have to go, otherwise the police station will never have peace. And if I leave, the police station can enforce the law strictly, and then all the responsibilities can be pushed onto me."
Cao Ping nodded slightly.
Before the dust settled, he wanted to keep Zhang Fei because he was afraid he couldn't handle it. Now that the dust has settled, he doesn't want to keep Zhang Fei.
Who doesn't hate Zhang Fei now? If he lets Zhang Fei stay, he will really have no friends in the court. Besides, he is also afraid that Zhang Fei will never stop, so he said that. His purpose is to make Zhang Fei leave.
Cao Dongdong said depressedly: "But if you leave, what should we do?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Didn't I say before that no matter where I am, if Yanei is in trouble, I will definitely help him. After all, Yanei is also my big client."
Cao Ping was waiting for Zhang Fei to say this. He didn't want to keep Zhang Fei in the police station, but at the same time he wanted Zhang Fei to help watch over it. After all, this General Police Station was built by Zhang Fei, and many things have not been finalized. He quickly said, "Since you don't want to stay, I won't force you. But don't worry, our General Police Station will spend money to hire your Bian Jing Law Firm, and we won't let you help for nothing."
Zhang Fei knew clearly that Cao Ping was eager for him to leave, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Chief Superintendent, for taking care of my business."
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi looked at each other, looking very depressed. They were still playing around and just hoped that the three of them could play together.
After completing the formalities and coming out of the house, I saw Tao Yonghan hiding in the corner and watching me.
"Lao Tao!"
"Why!"
Tao Yonghan ran over happily, "Zhang San, I heard you are leaving?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "It says that I have completed my service."
Tao Yonghan wondered, "How long have you been here? How come you've already finished your service?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Why, do you still want me to continue suffering here?"
Tao Yonghan grinned and said, "That's not the case, but I have to thank you for letting me be the director of the Street Division."
Zhang Fei said, "I recommend you because you are experienced. I have only been learning from you for a short time. I can tell where the manure is in the left wing even with my eyes closed. If you assign the tasks, I believe the streets of this city will be clean in the future."
Tao Yonghan said: "I dare not say this, but I will definitely work hard."
"I'll treat you to tea sometime. I'm leaving now."
"I'll treat you then!"
"That's fine. Goodbye."
After leaving the police station, Zhang Fei couldn't help but stretch himself, "I can finally go home."
"Third brother, I'm afraid I can still do it."
Li Si in the carriage suddenly said.
Zhang Fei was stunned, "Why?"
Li Si said, "Just now the emperor sent someone to ask you to come to the palace immediately."
Zhang Fei lamented, "Even if you hang yourself, you have to let people take a breath!"
