why.

Why me again?

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but it happened at this time. Gu Ji, who was already in a panic, was about to collapse. Why did these things come together? He hurriedly ordered his cronies in Taifu Temple to investigate secretly this matter.

Now he doesn't dare to speak up.

This is so fucking exciting.

It is easier to check whether it is tribute peaches, not grain.

In less than two days, it was found out that it really came from Taifu Temple, and this batch of tribute peaches totaled two thousand catties.

When Gu Ji heard about this, he was furious, and yelled, "Who told you to sell it?"

The head of the storehouse looked aggrieved: "Reporting to Gu Temple, we can't blame us for this matter. We have always dealt with it in this way, rotten the tribute fruits that are about to rot, and then sold them to merchants. , Exchange some tea money for everyone.

The businessman originally said that he would sell them in Luoyang, but who would have thought that he would find out that those tribute peaches were about to go bad, so he changed hands on the spot. "

"you.."

Gu Ji pointed to the warehouse manager, but didn't know what to say.

Because this is actually the unspoken rule of Taifu Temple.

The imperial court had already stipulated that if there were too many tributes, some of them could be sold appropriately.

It's just that the money from the sale originally belonged to the imperial court.

However, some food tributes may rot because they are not processed in time, and there is a lot of oil and water in them.

The officials of Taifu Temple usually sell the tributes that are about to rot, and treat them as rotten on the books. Anyway, if they don’t sell them, they will be put to rot here, and the money goes into the pockets of the officials below.

The manager of the storehouse said: "The matter of the Gu Temple, I think it's not a big deal, and no one was killed. On weekdays, this rotten fruit can be seen everywhere."

"Having said that, but at this time..."

Gu Ji waved his hand: "You don't understand what I'm telling you, so go find the businessman quickly and ask him to take some money to supplement those who bought rotten peaches. You must give me peace of mind, and I'll go." Talk to Superintendent Cao."

"Yes!" The warehouse manager asked embarrassingly, "If the businessman refuses to pay, what should we do?"

Gu Ji bulged his eyes and reprimanded: "If you don't want to pay, you can give me a cushion. Do you want money or your life?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll do it right now, as an officer."

The warehouse manager ran out hastily.

Gu Ji went to Cao Ping immediately and informed Cao Ping of the situation, because everyone knew about the situation in Taifu Temple, and it was not a secret.

Since it was a tribute and related to the royal family, Cao Ping, as a foreign relative, naturally didn't want to make this matter a big deal.

But now there is a lot of turmoil in the court, and Cao Ping doesn't want to involve himself, so he told Gu Ji that the police station should try not to investigate, and you should solve it privately.

After receiving Cao Ping's reply, Gu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but it also strengthened his belief in opposing the new law.

It made people panic.

However, because Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo had reservations about even losing the law, the opposition gradually concentrated around the procuratorate.

Because at present, only the procuratorate can directly stop the new law, because as long as the prosecution is filed, the implementation of the new law must be suspended.

At that time, the government will have to try it, which will take a lot of time.

The most important thing is that both Fan Chunren and Su Shi are very determined to sue this loser.

Although they knew that it was basically impossible to win, they wanted to give it a try and see if the procuratorate could supervise the new law.

It doesn't matter if you lose, and it doesn't matter if it won't take too long.

At least one point can be proved that the procuratorate has the power to file a lawsuit against the executive order.

This is critical.

And when you go to court to argue, you can ask many questions.

They counted and counted, even if they lost, it was a steady profit.

Now we are waiting for when Wang Anshi will promulgate the decree.

Only when the contents of the article form a government order can they file a lawsuit.

Fortunately, Wang Anshi was also in a hurry.

After some publicity, Wang Anshi showed Zhao Xu the decree finalized by Junshufa.

"I have already read the article that Mr. published on the Celebrity Newspaper before. I am very impressed by Mr.'s talent."

Zhao Xu still looked like a little fan, and he praised Wang Anshi's regulations, but then he said: "However, I heard that many ministers in the court are very opposed to this."

Wang Anshi wrote lightly: "Looking at the past dynasties, when it comes to reforms, there will always be opposition in the courts. This has nothing to do with the new laws. It's just that those who are deeply interested in the old system don't want to lose those benefits. Your Majesty doesn't need to pay attention to it. "

Zhao Xu nodded, and said again: "Do you want to discuss with the rest of the political advisers?"

Wang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the reason why the Regulations Division of the Second Government was established in the first place was to better implement the new law? If it is going to be reviewed by the Political Affairs Hall, then why bother to set up the Division of Regulations of the Second Government.

At that time, if someone in the political affairs hall expresses objection, how should His Majesty make a choice?If His Majesty agrees, and if there is no doubt, it can be promulgated directly from the Department of Regulations and Regulations.In this way, it is the core of the New Deal to determine the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Division. "

Zhao Xu thought for a while, and felt that this was the case. The establishment of the Regulations Division of the Second Government was to bypass the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Third Division, and to go to those counselors for consultation. The division was brought in, and the check and balance system was set up by the Division of Regulations of the Second Government.

Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting?

Wang Anshi said again: "I can't guarantee that the promulgation of the new policy will be smooth sailing and there will be no problems at all. Therefore, I will first implement this method on Jianghuai Sixth Road. If there are no major problems, it will be popularized throughout the country."

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Mr. is really thoughtful, and Mr.'s article has already solved my confusion. I have no doubts. But I don't know who Mr. is going to recommend as a delivery envoy?"

Wang Anshi said: "Xue Xiang, deputy envoy of Shaanxi Transshipment."

"Xue Xiang?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help his eyes brighten, and he said happily: "I have always admired this person's talent. I have read his fifteen chapters of "The Benefits of the West Frontier" and "Five Benefits of the Imperial Border" more than once. I also want to reuse him. Well, I will appoint Xue Xiang as a transfer envoy to preside over Junshu. You can also act expediently, and I will fully support you."

Faced with Zhao Xu's trust, Wang Anshi was naturally grateful. He immediately offered a big gift and made a promise that he would live up to the emperor's kindness and make Song Dynasty prosperous and powerful.

As far as matters are concerned, at the beginning of the reform, if the emperor still had doubts, it would be better not to change it. Song Renzong has set an example for this. In fact, Song Renzong did not want to change the Qingli New Deal. He was just forced to do so. There is no way , decided to reform.

As a result, in less than half a year, he died without any illness, and made the court a mess.

It is impossible for Zhao Xu to repeat the same mistakes, the key is that he still has a trick in his hands.

At this time, he can support Wang Anshi without any worries.

After returning, Wang Anshi immediately promulgated the law of equalization in the name of the Department of Regulations of the Second Mansion.

I have to say that this really caught the second government and the third department by surprise.

political affairs hall.

Wen Yanbo threw the residence newspaper in his hand on the table, "That's great, for such a big matter, we political advisers can only learn about it from the residence newspaper. Ha ha."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Anshi walking in from the outside.

Wen Yanbo immediately turned his eyes away.

Sima Guang immediately bent over his desk to write, as if he didn't see Wang Anshi come in.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mr. Lu hurriedly said, "Wang Jiefu, you should discuss this important matter with us."

Their Second Mansion and Third Division were really let down.

It's really dishonest.

Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "I am thinking of you."

Lu Gong glanced at Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang, and asked again: "What do you mean?"

Wang Anshi said: "I have published this article in the Celebrity Newsletter before, if you have any opinions, you will naturally discuss with me, but these days have passed, and no one has consulted with me.

In addition, I also know that many officials are dissatisfied with this. If I ask you to discuss it, if you agree, it will not involve you, but it will make you in a dilemma. "

Sima Guang couldn't take it anymore, you didn't blush when you said this, you raised your head and asked, "What if we object?"

Wang Anshi said: "If your objections are justified, then I will listen."

Sima Guang asked, "I thought the dispatch envoy was in charge of all affairs, and there was no one to supervise them. What's your explanation?"

Wang Anshi couldn't help sighing: "There are not many people who come to trouble me for this matter these days. I have kept silent for your Sima Junshi's sake, but you question me like this, I...ah...!"

Speaking of the latter, he was full of grievances.

for me?Sima Guang almost didn't spit it out, and said angrily and funnyly: "What are you? You should make it clear today."

Wang Anshi shook his head and sighed again: "The original lawsuit made it very clear that the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Division will be subject to judicial supervision, and you, Sima Jun, are the supervisor! If you don't believe me, you can go and ask. The Law of Loss has been formulated at the beginning of the year. Why did I not promulgate it for so long? I was waiting for your judicial reform. Who would have thought that half a year has passed, and your Public Prosecution Law has not yet been established in Tokyo. I can’t wait for you all the time Bar!

When those people questioned me, I couldn't always say, if you want to blame, you, Sima Junshi, have already settled down the regulations of the Public Prosecution Law, but because of your mediocrity, the Public Procuratorate has never been able to leave Tokyo. "

I knew it, I knew this guy would talk about it.Sima Guang said with a half-smile, "I really never thought that you think highly of me."

Wang Anshi immediately said: "Jun Shi! You and I have worked together for many years. I still don't understand your ability. Since you proposed judicial reform, I have never considered supervision at all when considering the New Deal. I am totally It all depends on you, if there is corruption at that time, I will hold you accountable."

"Wang Jiefu."

Sima Guang slapped the table and stood up, "Don't do this, it's because there is something wrong with your drafting of the new law. If something goes wrong, why should I be held accountable?"

Wang Anshi said: "The law of the ancestors refers to the mutual checks and balances between the government offices, not the mutual checks and balances within the government offices. With your public security law to supervise, I will set up another supervision department. Isn't this superfluous. At the same time, it will increase the number of redundant officials. heavy."

Sima Guang was speechless, and said to Lu Gongzhu, Wen Yanbo and others: "You all heard it, you all heard it, this is what Wang Jiefu said himself."

He said to Wang Anshi again: "Yes, please, I will definitely keep an eye on you. Don't let me catch you."

"That's work!"

Wang Anshi immediately bowed his hands and smiled inwardly. With Sima Junshi's mother-in-law's character, when your public security law is popularized across the country, let alone my New Deal, I'm afraid that Xixia and Liao Kingdoms will be gone.

Sima Guang glanced at Wang Anshi and thought, this time I must teach you a lesson, Wang Jiefu, and tell you what it means to have more waste than haste.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Wang Anshi full of worry.

After Wang Anshi left, Wen Yanbo quickly pulled Sima Guang outside, "Junshi, something is wrong!"

Sima Guang asked, "What did Duke Wen say?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Based on what I know about Wang Jiefu, he will never allow his new policies to be hindered by others, otherwise, he would not set up such a system to set up the Second Government Regulations Division. Now that he has released his words, he is willing to be supervised by the judiciary. , then he must want to seize justice. Su Zizhan and the others may fall into the trap, we have to stop them quickly."

Sima Guang sighed: "The matter has come to this, it may be too late."

It's really too late.

While they were talking, the procuratorate had formally filed a lawsuit against the Kaifeng government.

At the same time, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Fei are also making secret preparations.

Original bookstore.

"Who wrote this?"

Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief.

Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "No talent, it's just my writing."

"I can tell." Lu Huiqing nodded.

"Ok?"

"I mean." Lu Huiqing struggled for a while, "Actually, you don't need to write this kind of thing yourself."

Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "This kind of thing requires a surprise, and it's not easy to find someone to write it."

Lu Huiqing said: "I can write!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Lu Xiaokan's article is too good to be suitable for this article. Ahem, originally I wanted Zhiqian to write it as a ghostwriter, but in view of the attitude of Master Wang to my article, I hope I can use this Prove yourself."

Lu Huiqing groaned: "Zhang San, at any time now, you still want to be competitive here, so I'll tell you directly, no matter how much you write, you can't write about your teacher."

Zhang Fei said: "This is what I strive for. I have to let Xueshi Wang know that my propaganda ability can turn decay into magic."

"but.."

"Lu Xiaokan, just trust me this time, I promise to complete the task."

"No, of course I believe you. I just want to say that there are several language errors and more than a dozen typos in your article. I'm afraid that if this article is published, it will destroy the signboard of your genuine bookstore."

Zhang Fei opened his eyes, "Is it true? I checked it several times, and there are still typos. Oh, that's why I showed it to Lu Xiaokan. I hope Lu Xiaokan can check it for me, and tell me how to modify it by the way." .”

"Alright!"

Lu Huiqing nodded with difficulty, she doesn't even have the ability to modify sentences, why do you write articles.
