Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 98

Catch rape?

Whom to catch?

Xu Zhiqian, who took a while to react, was determined to chase and kill Zhang Fei Jiutiaojie.

But it was too late, because Wang Ye had already entered the door.

Zhang Fei had always had a good impression of Wang Ye, and seeing that he still had the heart to come to congratulate him, after all, he hadn't sent a wedding invitation, and this incident happened suddenly, so he was really happy, and immediately went out to greet Xu Zhiqian.

"Originally, I planned to come to congratulate Sanlang on moving to a new home, but I never thought that today is just a double blessing. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Wang Ye cupped his hands again and again, and the two servants behind him immediately stepped forward, holding several boxes of gifts in both hands, "It's a small thing, it's not a respect."

"You are polite! You are polite! Brother Wang is really polite."

I didn't drink too much wine today, Brother Wang turned back into Senior Brother Wang, and Zhang Fei went on to say: "Actually, I am very happy that Senior Brother Wang can come today. What kind of gift is this, but it's really too strange. , please sit inside."

At this time, Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: "Brother Wang, Zhang San, I just remembered something, so I won't be here with you two."

Wang Ye nodded slightly: "Junior Sister, please go ahead."

Zhang Fei teased: "Junior Sister is gone, but there is no one to pour wine."

Not only was Xu Zhiqian not annoyed, but she smiled and said, "I don't dare to rush to do this again, lest your bride be jealous."

"Go quickly!" Zhang Fei waved his hand.

Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips into a smile, nodded slightly to Wang Ye, and left.

Wang Ye laughed, entered the hall, looked left and right again, "Did Sanlang hide his beautiful wife?"

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Brother Wang thinks that with my appearance and strength, do I still need to hide?"

"That is! That is!"

Wang Ye nodded with a smile, and said: "Sanlang's words last night were truly astonishing, especially the last three sentences. There is no doubt that the wind is blowing from the west, and the person is thinner than a yellow flower. Just three sentences are the truth." Enduring the pain of lovesickness is like being there in person, it is truly a quatrain, admiration, admiration."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Where! Where! After living for more than 20 years, it is only right that I occasionally get a few quatrains."

"That's a bad word."

Wang Ye hurriedly said: "How many people have spent their lives writing tens of thousands of poems and lyrics, but no one remembers even half a sentence. It can be seen that Saburo's talent is far superior to them."

Having said this, he paused for a while, "San Lang said before that he would not be able to pass the exam, but it turned out to be a modest statement."

Well-written pleadings really have nothing to do with the test of fame, but well-written words can be linked to fame. At present, it is not stereotyped essays, and literary talent is very important in the test of fame.

Being able to write such quatrains, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse.

You really deserve to be my little fanboy, this hard-charging kung fu is really interesting.Zhang Fei said coyly: "It's not the same, it's not the same. Quatrains can be obtained occasionally, but fame and fame are comparable to real skills, and should not be confused."

Wang Ye smiled slightly: "That being said, I agree with other people, but I don't agree with what Sanlang said. I don't think Sanlang has any intention of being an official, so he doesn't want to take the exam for fame."

Zhang Fei was stunned, "Where did you say that?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "The mentor has already told me that he once wanted to recommend Sanlang to be an official, but Sanlang refused."

Zhang Fei said: "Engong even told you this."

Wang Ye hurriedly explained: "Sanlang doesn't know something. Before I chatted with my mentor, I used to fight for Sanlang's injustice. I thought that with Sanlang's talent, he should not live in the bookstore, but should be high in the temple. My mentor also agrees with this, so my mentor mentioned this matter to me."

"I see." Zhang Fei nodded.

Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't seem to want to say more, Wang Ye took the initiative to ask, "Why doesn't Sanlang want to be an official?"

Zhang Fei said, "Didn't Engong tell you?"

Wang Ye nodded and said, "Master didn't go into details, but just told me that Sanlang felt that even if he entered the court as an official, it would be difficult for him to make a difference."

"Exactly." Zhang Fei nodded.

Wang Ye said: "But I think that no matter whether you enter the court as an official or join a bookstore, you have to rely on your ability to gain status. With Saburo's ability, you will definitely be able to stand out in the court."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Unless I can gain the trust of the officials, otherwise, it will be impossible for me to stand out."

Wang Ye asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "As far as my court system is concerned, even if a hut is built, it has to be approved by three or five yamen, and it may not be completed in the end, but I have nothing. What do you think I can do? Go in and stay for two or three years. What's the point of losing all the vigor in my heart and directly entering the state of old age."

Wang Ye blushed a little, and sighed: "Sanlang's words are very true, overstaffing has always been a big problem for me!"

But at this point, he changed the subject: "But now there is an excellent opportunity."

Zhang Fei asked, "What opportunity?"

Wang Ye said: "I heard that the senior scholar Wang is planning to reform the law, and he is currently recruiting talented people everywhere. To tell the truth, I also plan to follow the senior scholar Wang to reform the law."

"Really?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

Wang Ye nodded, and said in a low voice: "It's absolutely true, and I heard from my mentor that the Grand Master Wang also appreciates Saburo's talent very much, why doesn't Sanlang follow Grand Master Wang and serve the country with me? Great opportunity!"

Zhang Fei frowned and thought.

He also plans to become an official now, but he has not yet figured out how to enter, whether to stand, kneel, or lie down, whether to wear a raincoat, or bring medicine.

Seeing that he was silent, Wang Ye didn't dare to disturb him, and waited quietly.

After a while, Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "It's better to avoid it! I just want to manage my bookstore well for the time being."

A look of doubt flashed in Wang Ye's eyes, "Why? Such a great opportunity, Saburo just let it go."

Zhang Fei only said: "Thank you for your kindness, but at present I really have no plans to become an official."

Wang Ye pondered for a while, then asked again: "Could it be that Sanlang is not optimistic about Wang Dashi's reform?"

When he said this, he clenched his hands tightly.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The reform is no joke, for a humble person like me, it is really unbearable."

Wang Ye's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said in a low voice: "If Sanlang has any opinion, can you tell me, I promise not to tell it, and I will not hide it from Saburo. I also feel scared when you say that."

Zhang Fei and Wang Ye hit it off, and saw that he was so innocent and cute. If he got involved in this vortex, his life and death might be uncertain. After struggling for a long time, he said, "I agree with the ideas and opinions of Grand Master Wang. Yeah, I... I just think the timing is a bit off."

Wang Ye immediately asked, "What time?"

Zhang Fei said: "Reform the law, do you think the change is important, or the law is important?"

Wang Ye said, "Of course the law is important."

"wrong!"

Zhang Fei said: "Change is more important."

Wang Ye asked, "Why?"

Zhang Fei explained: "Throughout the ages, many famous ministers were able to put forward suggestions beneficial to the country, but only a very small number of people were able to turn their suggestions into laws and implement them.

Still the same sentence, whoever says they can't, the key is whether they can do it. The failure of the reform is never defeated by the law, but by the change. "

Wang Ye nodded slightly: "Saburo is right, but I heard that Master Wang is now deeply trusted by officials, just like Shang Yang's reform, which also relied on Qin Xiaogong's support."

Zhang Fei evaded the important point and said lightly: "Of course, so I didn't say that I would fail. The support of officials can indeed make many things easier. But in terms of routine procedures, it is still necessary to govern the country first. It will take ten years."

Zhang Juzheng's reform is entirely based on the experience of Wang Anshi's failure. Although most people only remember one whip method, the key to the success of Zhang Juzheng's reform is actually the test method promulgated in the first four years.

The examination method is a method for governing officials. The central government uses this to extend its tentacles to the local area and integrate the whole country into a game of chess, so that Zhang Juzheng's subsequent government orders can reach the local area.

But if Wang Anshi used the test method, would he be able to succeed?

Zhang Fei thinks it is also very important!
Because the system of the Ming Dynasty was already highly centralized, if Zhang Juzheng lay on the dragon bed again, he would be the regent, which meant that he controlled everything from top to bottom, and power was highly concentrated in his hands at that time.

The Song Dynasty only further centralized power than the Tang Dynasty, and divided the powerful and noble families into individual scholar-bureaucrats, but in the end it was not a family business, but a joint-stock company. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, not the emperor's final say.

Zhang Fei believes that more time is needed to rectify the bureaucracy, and ten years is less.

This is the reason why he wandered around. He felt that the political environment at this time did not have the soil for reform, and local officials did not listen to Wang Anshi. No matter how good the seeds were, they could not grow anything in the desert.

As for the problems existing in the new law, Zhang Fei believes that they are all secondary. Whoever reforms the law is modified while changing. If things on paper are put into reality, various problems will always arise, and it is enough to revise them in time.

Even if Zhang Fei uses the perspective of God, there will definitely be many problems in the process of implementing the suggestions he put forward, and it is very likely that they will not be satisfied with the environment.

This requires bureaucracy.

Official governance is the top priority.

"ten years?
Wang Ye was surprised.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You also said just now that there are too many people, and it is more troublesome to manage."

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "That's wrong. I believe that Grand Master Wang is also aware of this truth. His reform must also include rectifying officials."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The key to governing the country is to govern the officials first. This order is irreversible. If it is carried out at the same time, it means that there is no governance."

Wang Ye gradually became a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Sanlang's words are really enlightening, which makes Ye Mao suddenly enlightened. Therefore, I think that Sanlang should become an official. If the senior scholar Wang has Sanlang's assistance, I believe he will be successful."

I've talked about my feelings for a long time, but it's useless.Brother, this is not a human problem, but a timing problem!I can't do it either!Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Let's have a look again. Uh, I advise you to wait and see again. You are still young and you have opportunities, so don't be in a hurry."

He was already thinking about becoming an official. It was said that Wang Ye was also from a family of officials and his age was about the same as him. He just wanted to draw Wang Ye to his side and take in a younger brother.

Are you still watching?Wang Ye asked again, "I don't know if Saburo has a way of governing officials?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Not in his position, not seeking his own government, I have never thought about this matter."
