it is good!
Nice question!

It's so frustrating!

After a series of questions, many officials present seemed to spit out the grievances that had been pent up in their hearts for a long time, and even many officials looked a little ferocious with excitement.

It has to be said that Wang Anshi, who returned to the court this time, is indeed a bit too powerful. Even some neutral factions don't like some of his behavior very much.

In comparison, the calm and low-key Sima Guang is more popular.

Of course Sima Guang also had a face full of gloating, wishing he could burst out laughing, you old boy still laughs at me, you are not as good as me, this is really a retribution for the world!
And Wang Anshi was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that the opponent would break through the competitive relationship between him and Sima Guang. After this set of combos, he was dizzy and powerless to fight back.

Wang Anshi, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, was also sweating and full of fear at this time.

Because it involves his character and his new law.

In ancient times, morality was highly valued. With your character, why do people believe in your new law.

It's deadly.

At this time, Wang Anshi's sharp gaze had disappeared, and he looked at Zhang Fei anxiously.

Boy, this time you must stand up to me.

The last time he testified in court was taught by Zhang Fei, he was still very upset, but today he finally realized his mistake, he still had to listen to Zhang Fei in court, otherwise, the end would be very miserable.

And when Zhang Fei stood up, many of them clasped their fists in front of their chests, heaven, earth, lightning strikes, strike this kid to death.

Everyone wants to stop here.

Some people even think that as long as Zhang Fei can't clear up Wang Anshi's point, it doesn't matter if he loses the lawsuit.

This is enough to blow Wang Anshi's position in the court.

This affects the interests of too many people.

The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.

Xu Zhiqian was also extremely nervous, and said in a low voice, "Which copy do you want?"

"Need not!"

Zhang Fei replied in a low voice, looked at Wang Anshi's tense appearance, and pursed his lips, afraid of laughing, and thought, I never thought you Wang Anshi would still be here today, I hope you can learn this lesson, don't be so arrogant, When you should be obedient, you have to be obedient. Genius is not omnipotent.

Seeing this, Wang Anshi felt relieved and took several deep breaths.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Just now Fan Sijian mentioned the relationship between Wang Xueshi and Sima Xueshi, so I also want to ask Wang Xueshi, what is your relationship with Zhang Fei?"

"Zhang Fei?"

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and said, "You?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "It's Xiaomin."

Wang Anshi was very cautious this time, and he couldn't make any more mistakes. He looked straight at Zhang Fei, boy, give me some hints.

Zhang Fei asked again: "What is the relationship between Wang Xueshi and me?"

Wang Anshi pondered for a while and said, "Very good."

Zhang Fei said: "Can you tell me more about it?"

He asked me to be specific, just to let me speak in a better way.Wang Anshi thought about it carefully, and said: "Every time I go to court, I hire you, let alone this time, I blocked your Celebrity News. Not only did you not complain, but you are still willing to help me in the lawsuit. Of course, our relationship is very good. .”

Zhang Fei said: "Actually, I also feel that Xueshi Wang has always trusted me very much, so I am also very curious why he didn't come to me this time and asked my genuine bookstore to help Xueshi Wang publish articles, but chose Dibao. Is it because the printing technology of Dibao is much higher than that of my genuine bookstore?"

Wang Anshi suddenly understood, and immediately replied: "No, so far the residence newspapers that have entered the Zouyuan are all transcribed, not printed."

"copy?"

Zhang Fei was surprised.

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "There were only a few dozen copies of the residence newspaper last time."

"is it?"

Zhang Fei said curiously: "But my father-in-law also has a share."

Wang Anshi said: "That should have been copied back by your father-in-law himself."

Zhang Fei said: "Copy it yourself? Can you tell me more about it, Xueshi Wang?"

Wang Anshi said: "Mansion newspapers are usually on the walls or beams of the imperial city. If the officials like it, or if the content is very important, they will usually copy it by themselves."

"I see."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I can't even get out of the imperial city, no wonder I haven't heard anyone mention it."

Wang Anshi didn't make a sound.

Zhang Fei continued: "Does Scholar Wang know that genuine bookstores use the latest movable type printing technology, which can complete typesetting in an afternoon, and print hundreds or even thousands of copies in a day?"

As soon as this remark came out, the literati were shocked, is it so exaggerated?

Prior to this, everyone paid attention to the article and ignored the printing technology.

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "I know."

Zhang Fei said: "Why did Xueshi Wang never think of asking me to publish articles for you?"

Wang Anshi said: "There are two reasons. First, as you said just now, Dibao is far inferior to folk tabloids in terms of technology. I am very dissatisfied with this. I hope that Jinzhaoyuan can improve. Regarding this point , I have followed up with the officials of the Zouyuan and have talked in detail, and I have invited the officials to allocate more funds to the Zouyuan, so that the Zouyuan can improve its printing technology, so that the people can also see the palace newspaper of the imperial court, and know that the imperial court some decisions, and not be misled by traitors.

The second, and most important point, is that I have always had doubts about tabloids. I hope that tabloids can be banned from discussing current affairs. Under such circumstances, how can I publish my articles on tabloids. "

Zhang Fei asked: "Does Scholar Wang know that in this way, the attention your article arouses is far less than that of Scholar Sima, Mr. Han and their articles, oh, and Mrs. Xu?"

Xu Zhiqian gave Zhang Fei a hard look, can't she not mention me?
"I object."

Fan Chunren got up immediately.

But before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei immediately said to Zhao Bian: "Presiding judge, I'm just explaining a fact. Every issue of the tabloid issued by genuine bookstores has thousands of copies, and they are directly distributed to major restaurants. In other words, at the same time, thousands of people will be able to read the articles of Sima Xueshi or Han Xianggong, but there are only dozens of copies of the Di Bao, that is, at the same time, only dozens of people can read the articles of Wang Xueshi, and even the emperor You can’t get out of the city. Naturally, the amount of attention it has aroused cannot be the same.”

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "I also agree with your statement."

Fan Chunren sat down depressed.

Su Zhe also said in a low voice: "This kid is really powerful."

Fan Chunren shook his head helplessly.

A lot of people are also looking depressed, can this also be reversed?
Can you justify it from a technical point of view?

Zhang Fei said to Wang Anshi again: "Scholar Wang please answer my question."

Wang Anshi said: "Of course I know, but... But I admit that I also have some arrogance."

Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say that?"

Wang Anshi nodded: "I think this is a fair comparison, and I hope that the article will make everyone pay more attention to the Dibao, not the tabloid."

There was a burst of hissing.

You are so shameless.

The corner of Sima Guang's mouth twitched, he was about to have a stroke.

Too contempt for people.

Zhang Fei asked: "That is to say, Xueshi Wang does have the intention of comparing with Bachelor Sima."

Wang Anshi nodded.

Everyone knows something, who can hide it.

Zhang Fei asked again: "The result?"

Wang Anshi said arrogantly: "The result is undecided. Although at present, your tabloids have received more attention, but I believe that in a few days, especially after I promulgate the new law, my articles will attract more attention."

This arrogant speech immediately caused a burst of boos, with bursts of sarcasm in between.

Zhao Bian slapped the gavel several times and shouted "Quiet" several times, and the courtyard gradually became quiet.

Only then did Zhang Fei continue to ask: "Since Wang Xueshi is so confident, why did he shut down the Celebrity Journal?"

Wang Anshi immediately said: "I just said that, I have doubts about tabloids, and that's why I didn't ask you to publish my article before."

Zhang Fei said: "But as far as I know, although there were not many people who posted tabloids before, they didn't cause much controversy. I don't know what Wang Xueshi is worried about?"

Wang Anshi said: "Did you forget that your father-in-law, that is, Xu Zhongtu, suffered from tabloids before."

Zhang Fei seemed to think of it suddenly, but he had mentioned this just now, "Just this time."

Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "Not only that, but also the tabloid this time. Twice in total."

Zhang Fei shrugged and didn't make a sound, and glanced at Fan Chunren from the corner of his eye, lest you get up.

Wang Anshi continued: "Actually, you have already expressed my concern just now. The movable type printing technique of your genuine bookstore can complete typesetting in half a day, and you can print hundreds of copies in a day. Thousands of tabloids can be printed in one day. , sparking widespread debate.

If it only published articles by Sima Xueshi and Han Xianggong, then I would not be worried, but who can guarantee that it will not publish the leaking case of the Criminal Court like before.

Just like what Bachelor Sima said, the above content is taken out of context and fabricated facts, but the tabloid has created a huge crisis for the court, and caused Bachelor Sima to suffer. Everyone knows his ability. Officials, perhaps with regard to the lease law, will give up on this.

If it is a more serious incident, the consequences will be unimaginable. Today's tabloids are not the same as before. This is a technology that has never appeared before.As a political adviser, I must plan ahead, and I must not wait until a bigger crisis emerges before inviting officials to ban tabloids and make up for it before it is too late. "

As soon as these words came out, all the officials present couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

As far as facts are concerned, Sima Guang was indeed a victim of tabloids, so who can guarantee that he will not be next. You must know that when Sima Guang was victimized, he did not use movable type printing.

In a sense, Wang Anshi did this to defend the interests of the entire bureaucratic group.

"I'm done asking."

Zhang Fei sat down.

Xu Zhiqian said excitedly: "It's really exciting, and it can all be reversed. Did you expect the other party to ask such a question?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Then why didn't you prepare a copy in this regard?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because I didn't expect Xueshi Wang to answer so badly, you read the third copy by yourself, it is some examples of how to deal with this problem."

After hearing this, Xu Zhiqian immediately dug out the third copy.

On the other hand, Su Zhe looked around and saw that the officials were all suspicious, and said in a low voice, "He said this for the officials to hear, but scholars will not buy it."

"Also, he must have done this to protect his own new law." Fan Chunren said with firm eyes, "I know what the purpose of this lawsuit is, and I will not let them succeed."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and asked Wang Anshi: "Does Xueshi Wang know about the poisoned preserved meat case that occurred in Tokyo during the Xianping period?"

Wang Anshi didn't dare to be careless this time, and said cautiously: "I know."

Fan Chunren asked again: "Does Xueshi Wang know how the court handled it at that time?"

Wang Anshi said: "On the basis of the original law, the court has increased the punishment. The most important change is that anyone who sells poisonous preserved meat will be severely punished regardless of whether they know it or not."

Fan Chunren said: "At that time, people were even killed, but why didn't the court directly prohibit the sale of preserved meat, but only punished the merchants who sold poisonous preserved meat."

Of course Wang Anshi knew what he wanted to say, "The two cannot be generalized."

Fan Chunren immediately asked: "Dare to ask Xueshi Wang, for the common people, is it more important to eat preserved meat or to speak up?"

Wang Anshi said: "I did this because of."

"It's because of the new printing technology."

"Exactly."

"If someone can transmit sound across thousands of miles, then according to Xueshi Wang's practice, everyone should not be allowed to speak. In this way, sound transmission across thousands of miles will be self-defeating."

"I object."

Zhang Fei stood up, "There should be no fairy tales in the courtroom."

Fan Chunren asked again: "If someone opposes your new law with their mouths in the future, will you not allow others to talk about current affairs?"

"I object! I object!"

"I'm done asking."
