Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 396 listen to your words
Everyone guessed the result, but no one guessed the process.

No one could have imagined in advance that it was Cao Dongdong's memorial that made the final decision.

But I have to say that this memorial was really wonderful, and the process was much better than everyone expected.

Because Zhang Fei has been gaining momentum recently, if the imperial court explicitly adopts Zhang Fei's legal system, it will break the Confucian tradition of respecting the old.

After all, Zhang Fei is still too young, like Su Shi and Su Zhe, although they are also very young and talented, there are still people above them who can suppress them. It is impossible to create a new idea to match it.

Although Cao Dongdong was young, he was still a dandy, and few ministers in the court liked Cao Dongdong, but in his memorial, it was said that the emperor had this intention long ago, and he attributed the rule of law to the emperor.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that the police station and Zhang Fei were also inextricably linked, at least on the surface it was the emperor's decision, and Zhang Fei was just secretly contributing to the flames.

All in all, all in all.

Just can't let this young man jump up.

So after the dynasty was dispersed, the ministers came to congratulate Cao Ping one after another.

The tiger father has no dogs!
There is no dog in the door!
What a sycophant.

Cao Ping knew very well that the purpose of their praise of Cao Dongdong was to suppress Zhang Fei, but he was also very happy.

That evil son can be regarded as earning back a little face for the Cao family.

Sima Guang glanced at Cao Ping who was surrounded by the crowd, stroked his beard and smiled, and quietly left the hall with Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi.

"Unexpectedly, Fu Gong would break the situation with Cao Dongdong's memorial."

Sima Guang laughed and said, "This move is really ingenious!"

Fu Bi wrote lightly: "You must always consider their feelings."

The beauty of this memorial is that Zhang Fei can not be mentioned, and it can be cut directly from the police station.

In this way, there will be fewer obstacles encountered.

Fu Bi learned a lesson when he was young, and now he knows that he can't think he is right, so he rushes forward regardless, and has to take care of everyone's emotions.

Of course, those people are not stupid, and they just agreed to try it at this time, but whether they oppose or support it depends on how Fu Bi and the others will practice the law.

After all, there are still quite a few who support the idea of ​​prudent punishment and less punishment. They think that today's punishment is too heavy, and the country has stabilized, so there is no need to rule the country again.

Wen Yanbo suddenly said: "However, the titles of the royal police and the imperial court will be too ostentatious. During the Zhenguan period, even Tang Taizong did not dare to clearly state that the "Tang Laws and Discussions" was the king's law, but called it The law of the world."

Sima Guang also frowned slightly.

This group of people still wants to limit the imperial power in their hearts. If the law of the rule of law means that the emperor protects the people, the law will become one with the emperor and return to the old legalist path.

This is what they have been guarding against.

They tried every means to dismiss the emperor's edict, just to be on guard.

Fu Bi smiled and nodded: "I know what you are worried about. I have considered this point carefully, but as Zhang San said in class, the rule of law can only be based on the heart of the government to protect the people. Otherwise If not, many concepts of the law of the rule of law will become unknown, and they cannot be interpreted as the law of heaven, and Zhang Sanke will lose his head."

"Only by explaining this way can the law of the rule of law be fully implemented. At that time, officials will not be able to break their own words and violate this principle."

"I see!" Wen Yanbo nodded.

This is to promote the emperor, and when the emperor wants to repent, they can also use this as a rebuttal to the emperor.

Little did they know that this was also Zhao Xu who wanted to put a rope on them.

When Cao Ping returned to the mansion, seeing Cao Dongdong came out again, he fully understood why he went to the court, the boy was panicked, and without saying a word, he directly brought Cao Dongdong in.

When he came to the house, he threw the brat to the ground and raised his hand to beat him.

"You bastard!"

"Father, don't play, the memorial was all encouraged by Zhang San to enroll the child."

Cao Dongdong had been prepared for a long time, and sold Zhang Fei directly without any hesitation.

Sure enough, it was Naerbi who planned behind it.Cao Ping put down his hands, pointed at Cao Dongdong and scolded angrily: "Do you have any brains, what Zhang San asked you to do, do what you do?"

Cao Dongdong hurriedly explained: "It's not that the boy listened to him, but that he offered suggestions to the boy and repaid the kindness that the boy went to jail with him. The boy also decided to do this after careful consideration."

"After careful consideration, are you still hiding it from me?"

Cao Ping was even angrier when he heard it. If you are ignorant and don't think so much, then it's fine. You have thought it over carefully. What do you want to do?Are you in charge?
Cao Dongdong explained again: "Don't blame Daddy, there is a reason for the child to hide from Daddy."

"what reason?"

Cao Ping asked.

Cao Dongdong said: "Even if it's not good for my son to play this memorial, those uncles and uncles will not be as knowledgeable as my son. After all, my son is still young. But if you want a father, it will be different. They will definitely impeach him. But if If it's good, they will definitely praise daddy."

Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly eased a lot, "Is this what Zhang San taught you?"

Cao Dongdong said arrogantly: "Can Zhang San teach the child about this? This is the child's experience."

Cao Ping was surprised and said, "Experience?"

"Ah."

Cao Dongdong nodded: "Daddy will be impeached if he buys a few acres of land in the yamen. The child makes trouble outside every day, and they don't care about him. How can Zhang San understand with a pen?"

Is that okay?

Cao Ping laughed angrily, "You also know that you get into trouble every day?"

Cao Dongdong realized that he had slipped his tongue, "In fact, it is Xiao Ma who really likes to cause trouble, and the boy is just helping Xiao Ma."

"Little Ma is really lucky to have you as his brother!"

Cao Ping couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at him, and said, "Get up first."

"Hey!"

Cao Dongdong hurriedly got up, but his hands were still in a defensive position.

The corners of Cao Ping's mouth twitched, and he simply went to the front seat, sat down, and asked, "Did you think of the Royal Police and the Imperial Court, or did Zhang San teach you?"

Cao Dongdong said: "Zhang San just asked my boy to use the name of the police station to play the law to support the rule of law, but my boy will not believe him, so my boy and Xiao Ma went to Xiaochun to discuss it. The royal police and the imperial court are Xiaochun. I figured it out. We are flattering the officials, even if those uncles don't like it, the officials will not blame the child."

"You brats are quite clever."

Cao Ping pointed to Cao Dongdong and said with a smile.

Seeing that Lao Tzu's expression changed, Cao Dongdong hurriedly asked, "Father, what did the officials say?"

Cao commented: "The officials and those uncles are full of praise for you, and Fu Gong also expressed support for your suggestion."

"is it?"

Cao Dongdong covered his face and laughed, "Even the rich man supports me. Hehehe, the rich man never supported my father."

Cao Ping's expression changed, and he said: "After a while, aunt may call you into the palace and ask you about this, what will you say then?"

Cao Dongdong put down his hands and said solemnly: "Daddy has a good education."

Cao Ping nodded: "You are still a little bit filial."

Cao Dongdong suddenly remembered something, "Daddy, did we steal Zhang San's limelight?"

Cao Ping laughed and said, "I didn't mention Zhang San much."

"Great!"

Cao Dongdong waved his fists excitedly.

In the evening, Alum Building.

"How about it?"

Fu Shichun completely ignored the delicious food and wine on the table, and looked at Cao Dongdong nervously.

Cao Dongdong was expressionless at first, then suddenly he grinned, "Daddy said that the officials and those uncles are full of praise for my memorial, and Fu Gong also fully supports my suggestion, which is a treatment that my father has never enjoyed. .”

"Really?"

Ma Xiaoyi jumped onto the chair and asked excitedly, "Are we going to be the Royal Police from now on?"

Cao Dongdong laughed and said, "My dad said, it will probably not change."

"Royal Police! Haha, I'm the Royal Police now."

Ma Xiaoyi stood on the chair, dancing excitedly.

Fu Shichun still asked nervously, "Did that steal Zhang San's limelight?"

Cao Dongdong hehe said: "I didn't even mention it."

"it is good!"

Fu Shichun slapped the table, "I, Fu Shichun, have avenged my revenge. That's great!"

When Ma Xiaoyi heard this, "Brother Xiaochun, the three of us came up with the idea last time. We can't blame third brother for getting you in."

Fu Shichun was stunned, looking at the two of them, that's right, you can't just take revenge on Zhang San, and you can't let the two birdmen go.

Last time he was arrested for no reason, and even had a fight with Zhang Fei and the others, which made him depressed for several days.He is different from Cao Dongdong, he cherishes his reputation very much, so he is always planning to get revenge.

Little did they know, this really helped Zhang Fei a lot.

Zhang Fei wanted to hide now.

If the stride is too large, it is easy to tear the eggs.

This was also beyond Zhao Xu's expectation. Although he also liked what the royal police and the imperial court said, Zhang Fei thought of this plan. After returning, he still found Zhang Fei and asked him about it.

"Royal police?"

Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Xu in a daze.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "What? Didn't you think that?"

"Yes, no, no."

Zhang Fei said: "I did ask Cao Dongdong to support the rule of law, but the Royal Police and the Imperial Court are not what I want. How dare I discuss with them in the name of the Royal Family."

Zhao Xu asked again: "Then what do you think?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Okay! This idea is really great. This will give the people the confidence to rely on the rule of law to defend their rights and interests, because it is the government that protects them. In fact, that's what I said in class. "

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Then do you know that this memorial of his has covered your limelight?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "That would be even better, and that's exactly what I hope."

Seeing that Zhang Fei was genuinely happy, Zhao Xu couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "Such a reputation is something that many people dream of, but you are so generous, it's incredible."

Zhang Fei said: "In my opinion, this kind of reputation is useless. Even if the name is left in the history books, it may be ridiculed by future generations. Only a strong country can have the dignity to enjoy these reputations."

Zhao Xu was startled, and after a while, he suddenly slapped the table heavily, and said excitedly: "Based on your words, I have not misjudged the person, and I will toast you."

For a long time, the conversation between them has been limited to governing the country. This is the first time Zhang Fei has expressed his position on foreign affairs.

confidant!

Absolute confidant!

After raising his glass to drink, Zhao Xu nodded fiercely again: "Yes! Only by defeating the enemies in the north like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, will all this become meaningful."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I think it can also be said that all this will make it more meaningful for the officials to defeat Liao and Xixia in the future. That is why Emperor Taizong of Tang is stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If the officials can do It will be even better than that.”

Zhao Xu pondered for a while, then laughed and said, "Okay! Well said! One word from a gentleman is better than ten years of reading. I will offer you another cup."

drink it!

Zhang Fei asked suddenly: "Cao Dongdong has behaved so well, how will the officials plan to reward him?"

Zhao Xu was taken aback, and asked, "What suggestion do you have?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's better to reward him and me to go to another place to be an official."

Zhao Xu was amused when he heard it, "Is this a reward? It seems that you still mind."

Zhang Fei hehe said: "I really don't mind, this is already a public tour, isn't it a reward?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Yes! Go to Longtan and Tiger Beard for travel."
