Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 252

Wang Anshi, who was hiding behind the newspaper, listened to their chatter, praising Sima Guang, and lingered on, making it inconvenient for him to get up and cover his ears.

This is unbearable, so there is no need to bear it anymore.

Just as Wang Anshi was about to throw the newspaper away and argue with them, he suddenly heard someone say: "I think Mrs. Xu's article is better written."

Wang Anshi frowned, and turned his head secretly, revealing his eyes smeared with eye feces, and saw a young official standing upright with his head held high, looking extremely handsome.

"Su Zizhan, are you still asleep?"

"Su Zizhan, your literary talents are pretty good. Can't you even tell the good from the bad? Miss Xu's article has long sentences and monotonous words. It's really unsightly."

"How can the articles of the young lady of the Xu family be compared with the articles of the Sima University scholar. You are really talking nonsense."

The speaker was Su Shi, the first master of the Song Dynasty. He looked around, "In my opinion, the quality of this article depends first on the concept, not the beautiful sentence structure. If the concept is not good, the sentence structure No matter how beautifully written it is, it is my poison."

"What? Do you think that Sima University's intentions are not good?"

"Actually, the intentions of the two are not too different, but obviously the realm is different, and the Sima University scholar is far superior."

Faced with doubts, Su Shi snorted: "Although the articles of the Sima University are well written, most of their articles hope to calm things down and brag about their own ideas, rather than discussing the facts. Those who have gained, very few."

Although Wang Anshi usually didn't like this guy, he silently gave Su Shi a thumbs up at this time.

Su Zhe, who was sitting by the side, rested his face in one hand, his eyes were glazed over, as if he had nothing to love in his life.He knew that Su Shi didn't admire Xu Zhiqian's point of view at all, he just liked to argue, sing the opposite tune, and say some annoying things, and he didn't bother to dissuade them, so he might as well save some energy to wipe his ass.

Su Shi was eloquent: "On the other hand, Mrs. Xu's article hits the point. The imperial court collects taxes according to the cadastre, but the head household with the title deed transfers the tax to the tenant farmers. This is obviously unreasonable and will It caused many misunderstandings and should be improved.

What Xu Sishi said was just a case-by-case discussion. The imperial court perfected the law. There is nothing wrong with it. Besides, the head household can count taxes into the rent, and the imperial court did not say no. . "

Before the words fell, someone said: "What nonsense!"

Su Shi looked back and exclaimed, "Scholar Wang?"

The others suddenly discovered that Wang Anshi was sitting here, and they felt uneasy.

Wang Anshi stood up abruptly, "The reason why you think Sima Junshi's article is good is because of Xu Zhiqian's article, why don't you think about Zhang San's simple and despicable method of publishing these two tabloids together? I can’t see it at all, and I’m still bragging foolishly here, it really makes people laugh out loud.”

After speaking, he left angrily.

There was a dead silence in the tavern.

Su Shi frowned, and after a while, he praised sincerely: "It's easy to argue."

"It's arguable, I think Wang Jiefu is clearly jealous."

However, there are plenty of people like Su Shi.

When these two tabloids first appeared, the public opinion was almost one-sided. They praised Sima Guang's articles one after another. Anyone who read Xu Zhiqian's articles was uneducated, but soon, they aroused objections.

If this literati is not good, can he still be called a literati?
The streets and alleys were full of debates, and Xu Zhiqian's reputation began to rise slowly.

A carriage passed quietly through the downtown area.

"It's all your fault."

Xu Zhiqian blushed like the rising sun, and complained to Zhang Fei: "I told you not to print, you want to print, now it's over, I don't even have the face to go out to meet people now."

Zhang Fei was stupefied, and looked at Xu Zhiqian's blood-red cheeks, wondering: "Zhiqian, it's a good thing that people compare your article with that of Sima University!"

Xu Zhiqian said: "What's the matter? How can my article be compared with that of Sima University? This will only make me more embarrassed. I am really killed by you."

He was so anxious that he stamped his feet fiercely, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

She is also from a scholarly family, and she also cares about things like articles. She knows her own level, and she is really irritated when she hears the words that praise her outside.

Zhang Fei couldn't understand it, this traffic is really big, big Internet celebrity, no, big news, what's wrong with it.

When he came to the office, Fan Li greeted him with an adoring face, "I really don't know Taishan. I can't think of Mrs. Xu's literary talents compared to Sima's, and she is not much better. She is really a woman."

"You are the one who does not give way to men."

Xu Zhiqian scolded directly, and walked in angrily.

Fan Li was dumbfounded by the training.

Zhang Fei patted him on the shoulder, "Don't take it to heart, I see the same thing as your hero."

As far as their cultural literacy is concerned, there is no way to tell which is good and which is bad.

Zhang Fei used to read Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting, but he didn't know many characters. How to appreciate it, he could only pretend to understand, and he was overwhelmed by it. Anyway, everyone is the same, and no one will expose anyone.

It was a raucous morning, a sleepy breakfast that turned a tabloid into a big dinner party.

The son party, who had just woken up from a dream, immediately rushed to the major restaurants.

"Where are the tabloids? Don't you have any tabloids in Alum Building?"

"You got it! You got it!"

Fan Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Gao, please wait a moment."

As he said that, he turned around and told the bartender beside him, "What are you still doing in a daze, go and get a tabloid."

"Eldest son, the younger one just wants to tell you about this."

"what's up?"

"We lost more than [-] tabloids."

"How can there be less?"

"Maybe it was shunned by the customer."

".?"

Fan Zheng never thought that the guests who came to the Baifan Building would do such a thing.

Unbelievable!

Once there is an argument, everyone has to find a helper, and the tabloid has to be taken away, otherwise, how to find someone to study how to debate.

Many tabloids were brought into the imperial city, which caused another wave of heated discussions.

The Department of Regulations of the Second Mansion was no exception, and all the officials were arguing. It was not until Wang Anshi appeared that everyone quieted down.

"Humph!"

Wang Anshi went straight to his lounge angrily.

Lu Huiqing also hurriedly followed.

"Teacher!"

As soon as Lu Huiqing spoke, Wang Anshi excitedly said: "That Sima Jun is so despicable that he used women's articles to set off his own articles."

Lu Huiqing was astonished when she heard it, "Master, what do you say?"

Wang Anshi said: "Usually I don't see anyone bragging about his Sima Junshi's articles."

Lu Huiqing hurriedly said: "My teacher is right. The articles written by Sima University cannot be compared with those of my teacher."

Wang Anshi glared at him: "No one can compare with him, but his writing is really not good. He hides his secrets, hides things, and dares not say it clearly. His writing is more cryptic than Buddhist scriptures. This is not a manly article."

He has also read a lot of Sima Guang's articles. Although there is a trace of contempt, the main reason why he is so angry is because Sima Guang carried all kinds of private goods in it, boasted about hiding wealth for the people, saving money and other political ideas , It's so ungentlemanly.

Isn't this the consumer Xu Zhongtu?

"Yes Yes Yes."

Lu Huiqing nodded repeatedly.

Wang Anshi suddenly asked, "What did you want to say just now?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Just now the official family sent someone to send a letter, asking my teacher to go to the Chui Gong Hall to discuss matters later."

Sima Guang himself didn't care about this matter, he didn't even know it was posted today, but soon, he had to know.

At this time, Sima Guang was walking towards the Chuigong Hall surrounded by Wen Yanbo, Zhao Bian, Lu Gongzhu and others.

"Don't say it, don't say it, I'm begging everyone."

Sima Guang repeatedly bowed his hands to Wen Yanbo and the others, wishing to kneel down to them, and begged for mercy without tears: "I really just wrote it casually, and it was just for this matter. I have no intention of showing off. I hope you will raise your hands high and don't mention it again."

He really didn't like being in the limelight, he didn't like to attend the emperor's banquet, he would push it if he could, and he got goose bumps all over his body.

In fact, they all knew Sima Guang's personality, and it was rare for him to gain the limelight, so they definitely wanted to amuse him.

Fortunately, Su Shi was not qualified to participate in this meeting, otherwise, it must have been extremely lively.

Wen Yanbo still refused to give up, and said with a serious face: "Junshi! Whether this is good or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, the world has its own judgment."

Lu Gong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Wen Gong's words are reasonable. Now the streets and alleys are talking about your articles. The articles of Fan Gong and Uncle Ouyang Yong have not attracted such attention."

Sima Guang was really about to cry, "Mr. Wen, Uncle Hui, just let me go, you've been talking all morning, aren't you tired?"

He was really itchy at the time, and he wrote an article, but didn't revise it much. He didn't expect to cause such a heated discussion, and he really regretted it.

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly heard two coughs, Sima Guang turned his head to look, and saw Wang Anshi walking over.

"Junshi! I want to say a few words about you."

Wang Anshi said with a straight face.

Sima Guang asked nervously, "What?"

Today he is very afraid of Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi said: "You usually hide too deep, you don't show the mountains, you don't show the water, but you can write it casually, it is a masterpiece through the ages, I just read your article, it is really shocking, and I have benefited a lot. "

It can only be said that he is professional in fighting Sima Guang.

vice versa.

Sima Guang was really blushing, and others are fine with it. You, Wang Anshi, said this, so you believe it, so you sprayed it directly in the face, "Damn! You, Wang Jiefu, are insinuating here, you think I don't know what you're thinking. What."

Wang Anshi wiped off the curse on his face with his big sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Junshi, you really misunderstood me, I swear to God, your article is much better than Qian'er's, it's amazing Amazing. Admire! Admire!"

For the last two "admiration", he sprayed them back with plosive sounds.

When Sima Guang wiped his face, he was about to go crazy.

Lu Gong, who had just taken office, hurriedly stood up and stood in the middle, "The time is coming, let's go quickly."

Not long after they arrived at the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Xu came, and without waiting for the minister to salute, he smiled and said to Sima Guang: "Scholar Sima, I just read your article, it is very well written, and I also benefited from it." It's so shallow!"

Before Sima Guang could react, Wang Anshi was dumbfounded.

Sima Guang also said with a look of astonishment, "Your Majesty also read that tabloid?"

It just came out this morning, and you've received it now.

Too exaggerated.

Dibao is not so fast!
Zhao Xu nodded: "Lan Guiren went out to buy goods in the palace early this morning, and when he heard people talking about this tabloid in the streets and alleys, he showed me a copy. It was really well written, so I decided to call this meeting temporarily .”

what?
It turned out that the theme of this meeting was tabloids!
Everyone in Wang Anshi is dumbfounded. Is this tabloid so powerful?
Sima Guang was really flattered, and said with a blushing face, "Your Majesty, it's just a scribble made by the minister, which makes His Majesty and everyone laugh at me."

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Scholar Sima is too modest, what you said is also what I think, I appointed you to amend this law, not to target anyone, but to avoid repeating the same mistakes and causing public resentment.

As for what Xu Si said, I have also heard it. In my opinion, it is harmless. After all, the law of our ancestors in the Song Dynasty is to prevent things and control them. Although it is only a law, it must be considered carefully.It is understandable that I did not think too much about it during the discussion.

Of course, the imperial court would not do that. Local law and order should be the responsibility of the government. If there is a disturbance, it is naturally the government's ineffective management, so how can they shirk it to others. "

Zeng Gongliang, Wen Yanbo, and Zhao Bian let out a sigh of relief after hearing this.

As soon as Zhao Xu expressed his opinion, the matter naturally subsided.

And Wang Anshi also breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Xu's last sentence is very thief, the hidden meaning is that if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, if your government can't control it, I will hold you accountable.

In other words, it means that the government should control these big landlords and not allow them to act recklessly. If you don't punish them, the imperial court will punish you.
