Chapter 160 Ancestral System and Ancestral Law

"what happened?"

In the lobby behind, a young man stood up.

It was none other than Shenzong Zhao Xu.

It is impossible for him to miss this trial, because it is also closely related to his power.

Standing beside him was an old eunuch named Lan Yuanzhen, who was also an eunuch of the Three Dynasties.

"Your Majesty, won't it make people feel self-confessed that Grand Scholar Wang is going to testify in person?" Lan Yuanzhen reminded in a low voice.

Zhao Xu frowned, glanced at Lan Yuanzhen, opened his mouth, sat back down again, and said with deep eyebrows: "I believe that Zhang San will not disappoint me."

Having said that, he still looked a little worried.

Although Han Qi and Fu Bi didn't know about it beforehand, they suddenly felt that such a trial would be very good, so they don't have to just listen to them arguing here. Judging which is right and which is wrong, the public says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says the woman is right.

If the parties are directly transformed into witnesses, it will be easier to judge the results.

Since Wang Anshi was also willing to testify in court, they nodded in agreement.

At the same time, it was announced that Qian Wei would become a witness.

"Two presiding officers, since I didn't know about it beforehand, I implore the two presiding officers to allow me to have a few words with Master Wang."

Zhang Fei cupped his hands suddenly.

This time Fu Bi spoke first, nodded and said, "Yes."

It was obvious that Fan Chunren and the others had come prepared, but they hadn't been informed in advance. Zhang Fei must have known nothing about it.

Fan Chunren didn't have any opinion on this either, with a confident smile on his face.

"Explain?"

Seeing Zhang Fei approaching, Wang Anshi felt displeased and felt ashamed, before Zhang Fei could speak, he said first: "Could it be that you think I will be questioned by that kid?"

I, An Shi, are one of the most talkative kings in the dynasty, the little Fan Chunren, but I really don't pay attention to it.

Zhang Fei said in a low voice: "Scholar Wang, this is different. You have no initiative and cannot argue with him. You can only answer his questions."

Lu Huiqing also whispered: "Teacher, I think what Zhang San said is reasonable."

Wang Anshi said with a look of disdain: "Even if I can't argue with him, he can't ask me anything."

Zhang Fei said: "Dare to ask Master Wang, does the Department of Regulations of the Second Government have financial power? Does it have military and political power? Does it have administrative power?"

His three consecutive questions directly confused Wang Anshi.

"Uh."

"Scholar Wang, please answer?" Zhang Fei asked.

Wang Anshi hesitated for a while, and replied: "There should be."

"If you answer like that, it's over." Zhang Fei said: "You have to answer no, and it has nothing to do with it."

Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "How can this work? If I answer no, it will be tantamount to setting up the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion and abolishing it."

Lu Huiqing also nodded frequently and said: "Master is right, this is obviously a trap, although answering 'yes' will cause you trouble, but if you answer 'no', the situation will be even worse."

Zhang Fei said: "So you have to ask and answer according to my words, isn't that why you hired me?"

This turn of events made the reformers look worried, while the conservatives were overjoyed.

They suddenly realized why they often felt powerless when they were fighting Zhang Fei, and the routines in court defense were completely useless.

the reason is simple.

Zhang Fei has no scruples, and many problems can be directly addressed to the root cause. Zhang Fei has no interest in the struggle between the court and China, but they have many concerns, so they are always led by Zhang Fei.

Avoiding Zhang Fei and facing Wang Anshi directly, the situation is completely different, at least relatively speaking, it is much fairer, and the chances of winning are greater.

Even Lu Gong secretly praised the work, and asked Sima Guang in a low voice: "Is this your idea?"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "Chunren came up with the idea."

"Chunren?"

Lu Gong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Fan Gongquan knows, I must be very pleased!"

Sima Guang asked, "Do you also think this strategy is good?"

Lu Gong nodded, and said: "Although I don't support them to use the law of their ancestors to sue the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion, but I also think that it is difficult to argue clearly which is right and which is wrong in this matter. If the dispute is not clear , naturally Zhang San has the upper hand, but if Wang Jiefu is regarded as a witness, the situation will be different."

Sima Guang tilted his ear: "Keep talking!"

Mr. Lu gave him a contemptuous look, "Wang Jiefu wants to set up this company, you know better than anyone else, you think he wants to do this."

Almost all of the four prime ministers opposed it. According to the traditional way, there is no way to change it!

Sima Guang laughed and said: "Throughout the ages, how many virtuous ministers have become arbitrary after holding power, abusing power, and eliminating dissidents. Only by legally obtaining power can they be restricted. You can guarantee that Wang Jiefu will not Will it change?"

Lu Gong wrote back and asked: "If I promise, will you believe it?"

On the other side, Zhang Fei discussed with Wang Anshi for a long time. Seeing that Fu Bi and Han Qi were about to fall asleep, Zhang Fei returned to his seat, cupped his hands to Han Qi and Fu Bi, and said, "The two presiding judges, Xiaomin has already The confession is over."

Han Qi nodded and asked again: "Can we start then?"

"can."

"Then let's start." Han Qi was already impatient with waiting.

First of all, Wang Anshi and Qian Wei attended respectively, came to the left and right sides of the trial platform and sat down.

One person asks one question.

Zhang Fei also sat down.

Xu Zhiqian whispered, "What should I do?"

Zhang Fei glanced at her, and snorted, "If they had told me that they would play like this, I would have punched out all their Xiang."

In fact, two-person debate is not what he is best at. After all, his profession is not a debater, cross-examination is his professional field!

His most relaxed lawsuit was that of Cao Dongdong.

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What is Xiang?"

"Uh, that's not the point, okay?"

"Then how do you plan to deal with it?" Xu Zhiqian asked again.

Zhang Fei said: "Let's see how many catties they have."

At this moment, Fan Chunren walked out of his seat. He was used to arguing in court, but he was not used to standing behind the table, but liked to stand in the middle. He asked Wang Anshi, "Xueshi Wang is an Imperial scholar, so he should be very familiar with me." North Korea system."

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "That's natural."

Fan Chunren asked again: "I don't know what opinion Master Wang has on the two-mansion and three-division system established by our ancestors?"

That's it?

Wang Anshi couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at him, and was about to open his mouth when he heard someone say, "I object."

He turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Fei standing up, he couldn't help being confused.

Han Qi and Fu Bi were also dumbfounded.

Han Qi asked, "What are you against?"

Zhang Fei said: "I object to Fan Sijian embezzling others, confusing the public, asking inductive questions, in an attempt to induce Master Wang to make a confession that is not good for him."

Wang Anshi was very depressed. With this level of inducement, I would be fooled. Who do you look down on?

Han Qi also asked curiously: "Extraordinary questions, leading questions? Where do you start with this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Just now Fan Sijian mentioned the 'system of two governments and three divisions established by the ancestors'. This is the system of the ancestors, not the law of the ancestors, and Fan Sijian's question obviously wants to combine the laws of the ancestors with the laws of the ancestors. It is very unfair to Master Wang, and it is not the issue to be heard in this case."

Fan Chunren said with a smile: "Does this mean that this company violates the ancestral system?"

Zhang Fei said: "I didn't say that."

"Then why are you so nervous, you are not even allowed to ask, maybe you are guilty." Fan Chunren asked with a smile.

Zhang Fei didn't answer but instead asked, "I heard that your father is Fan Gong?"

Fan Chunren was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Fei asked again: "I heard that your father failed the reform?"

The corner of Fan Chunren's mouth twitched and he nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "I heard that your father is a traitor?"

"Bastard!"

Fan Chunren immediately flew into a rage, "You little Erbi, how dare you humiliate my father."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "You are in a hurry, you are guilty."

boom!

When Fu Bi heard him slandering Fan Zhongyan so much, he couldn't help it immediately, picked up the gavel and patted the table down, "Zhang San, if you dare to speak nonsense in the court again, I will punish you for contempt of the court."

Zhang Fei clasped his hands and said, "I am deeply sorry for my disrespect to Duke Fan just now, and I am willing to accept punishment. I can also understand Fan Sijian's anger. He is defending Duke Fan's reputation, not a guilty conscience. In the same way, I'm not guilty, but I'm defending the rights and interests of my client, Master Wang. We don't need to answer all the questions that have nothing to do with this case. If Fan Sijian asks whether Master Wang is here today Taking a bath, does Grandmaster Wang have to answer too?"

The corner of Wang Anshi's mouth twitched.

Are you serious kid?

What is not good as an example, you take this as an example?

"Ha ha!"

Su Shi was delighted to hear that, patted his thigh and said with a smile: "It seems that Wang Jiefu doesn't like to take a bath, and everyone knows it."

I saw more than ten people in front turned around at the same time.

Su Shi was taken aback, and suddenly panicked, why am I sitting among the officials of the Department of Regulations? I couldn't help turning my head to look at Su Che again, brother, what road are you leading?

Su Zhe was very wronged. I am a member of the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion. I don't sit here. Wherever I sit, you have to follow me.

Su Shi was depressed.

The reason why he followed Su Zhe was to see that this guy was able to sit in front.

Now he finally understands why.

The reason is that the Department of Regulations of the Second Government is the defendant, and of course they can sit in the front!

Will this cause misunderstanding?

Su Shi couldn't help looking around, but fortunately, no one paid attention to him, this little guy.

The reason why Su Zhe was able to set up the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion was because he gave a memorial to Zhao Xu when he came back, discussing current political affairs and pointing out the problems facing the country.

Su Shi did not do this. He believed that everyone knew the problem, and the key was how to solve it. He was also waiting to see the new law.

Fan Chunren said excitedly: "You are confusing the public. The ancestral system and the ancestral law have a great relationship."

"Everything in the country has a great relationship with the law of the ancestors."

As he said that, Zhang Fei said to Xu Zhiqian next to him, "Institutional copywriting."

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly found a copy and handed it to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei took it, opened it, looked at it, then raised his head, and said: "Back then Taizong set up a trial court, an examination court, and a trial court. It is not changing the system established by Taizu, yes. But is this violating the law of the ancestors, no. On the contrary, it is following the laws of the ancestors.

As for the reason, I believe I don't need to go into details.

It can be seen that the law of the ancestors is the fundamental law of the country, and the design of the system is to follow the laws of the ancestors. Not to mention that the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Department is just a temporary government office. Even if the existing system is changed, it does not necessarily violate the laws of the ancestors. .

Based on this, I implore the two presiding judges not to include the ancestral system in the scope of this lawsuit.Of course, if Fan Sijian wishes to suspend the church, go home and check the copy, and find out the relationship between the ancestral law and the ancestral system, I have no objection. "

After speaking, he sat down.

After all the shooting, even Xu Zhiqian who was sitting by the side felt a strong sense of oppression, thinking, he really was born for big occasions.

The bigger the scene, the fiercer the fighting power.

Although Fu Bi and Han Qi had sat down and watched Zhang Fei's lawsuit, when they faced Zhang Fei as the presiding judges, they felt completely different. wire pressure.

Now that things have happened, they finally realize that Lu Gong's writing is not easy!

He also finally understood why Mr. Lu became irritable when he saw Zhang Fei.

As for Lu Gong, who was sitting next to the trial, he felt much more balanced in his heart, and he should let you have a taste of it.

indeed.

Taking Taizong as an example, Zhang Fei is indeed convincing.

Taizong set up the Court of Appeal and the Court of Trial and Penalty, in fact, to divide the power under Zhongshu's family. Although the system has changed, it definitely follows the ruling philosophy of preventing things and making rules.

The relationship between the ancestral system and the ancestral law is just a relationship of compliance, but any policy is a relationship of compliance with the ancestral law. Whether it violates the ancestral law or not has nothing to do with whether the ancestral system is changed.

However, the ancestral system is an extremely important weapon for Fan Chunren and the others. In fact, they want to integrate the ancestral system and the ancestral law. If this weapon is discarded, it is tantamount to cutting off one of their arms.

Fan Chunren's face was flushed, and this little pen made him go home and study more. This is a great shame. Of course, he would not give up the argument of the ancestral system, arguing: "Who says the ancestral system can be easily changed?" Yes, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said that with history as a mirror, one can know the ups and downs, thinking about the Han Dynasty, Xiao Guicao followed..."

Zhang Fei couldn't even get up this time, covering his forehead with one hand, and looked at Fan Chunren with a question mark on his face, "Tang Taizong? Xiao Gui Cao Sui? Fan Sijian, this is a lawsuit, not an academic debate. Our court did not have this law of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, and it has not been written into the Tang law.

I don't even bother to refute you by saying that the method of my ancestors is to learn from the previous dynasty, but you still use the Han Dynasty as an example.God!Is there no one who understands the law? "

After speaking, he covered his face with his hands and let out a cry of grief.
