In the Song Dynasty, the matter of civil complaints against officials was often seen in books, and according to the records, they basically won. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The people of the capital have a broad vision, generally have a certain material foundation, and the awareness of civil rights is also budding, and they are not afraid to sue the officials.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, an official named Fang Hui prostituted himself with his maidservant in a hotel, because the bed earthquake was too big, and the walls and soil of one side of the house were shaken down, and the family was not polite, so they immediately sued Fang Hui to the yamen, and finally ended with the two of them having a private relationship.

This is still a trivial matter, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was even more strange things that happened frequently, not only to sue the prime minister, but also to dare to sue the emperor, and the prime minister was recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, which happened in the early years of Taizong of the Song Dynasty. The matter reached Song Taizong, who ruled that Ma Zhou was justified and dismissed Li Fang's prime minister to shoot the right servant.

It is recorded in "Quwei Old News" that during the reign of Renzong, a wealthy man went to Kaifeng Mansion to complain, saying that his family "has been marrying a wife for three days, and there is a command order to enter the ban, and there is no news in the middle of this month." Those who can issue "commands" in the forbidden are either the emperor, or the queen mother or empress.

In other words, although this rich man who went to Kaifeng Mansion to complain was more euphemistic, the meaning was obvious, that is, to accuse the emperor of robbing the people's daughters. At that time, the prefect of Kaifeng was called Fan Wei, and there was no record in the history books that he was a straightforward official. At that time, he only asked, "Are you not vain?" ”

Fumin said: "Every sentence is true. ”

Fan Yan said: "If there is something true, you can only wait here." ”

immediately entered the palace to face the saint, and asked Song Renzong for someone: "Your Majesty is not quiet, and it is known to China and foreign countries, how can there be this?" Moreover, if the women of the people have become courteous and forcibly take it, how can they show it to the world? ”

Song Renzong said: "I heard the queen say that there is indeed a daughter in the palace recently, and her appearance is quite good, and I have never seen it. ”

Fan sarcastically said: "If this is the case, please bring this female minister back." Song Renzong agreed to send the woman back.

Fan Yan said: "The minister begs, hand over this woman here now, so that the minister can take it back to Kaifeng Mansion immediately and return it to the complainant in person." Otherwise, I am afraid that the people of the world will slander His Majesty. ”

Renzong "is a decree, take his daughter and sarcasm, and satirize the palace". A Tokyo civilian with no background dared to run to Kaifeng Mansion to tell his daughter-in-law after she was taken into the palace. And the prefect who received the complaint was not afraid that the defendant was the emperor, so he immediately went to Song Renzong and asked him to return the people's daughter. In addition to how relaxed the political atmosphere of the Renzong Dynasty was, it was also because the emperor and officials of the Song Dynasty cherished their feathers and always had a sense of awe for the folk discussions, and more importantly, the people of the Song Dynasty were not all cowardly and ignorant, and the more economically and culturally developed the place, the more so, so most of these cases also occurred in the capital, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, these economically developed or cultural and sports places. And Sichuan and Guangdong these places are rarely heard of, not to mention the two Huai places near the war between the Jin State, the so-called warehouse is solid and knows etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace is this ceremony.

Although the records all end with the victory of the people and the defeat of the officials, the real situation is not like this, the people sue the officials for defeat, it is not unremarkable, and the people and high-ranking officials win, that is the novelty, so it will be recorded. The Song Dynasty was politically relaxed, humanities gathered, but it was not a paradise, he had the foundation to move to a higher level in all aspects, but he was never able to do it, what Zhao Zheng had to do was to open the gelding door and tell what was behind the Great Song Gate.

The Southern Song Dynasty promulgated the "Yue Litigation Law", and the public could sue any officials who bent the law for personal gain, expropriated and extorted money, etc., and the public could sue at a higher level. It's so magical, it's a pity that he was born in the Southern Song Dynasty, if the Northern Song Dynasty was better, the Southern Song Dynasty was treacherous, and the powerful ministers were raging, causing this sharp weapon to be dusty. Zhao Zheng now just wants to wipe off the dust on it and let the sword come out of its sheath. Let the Song Dynasty also feel the taste of sports.

——

Zhao Zheng deliberately disclosed his identity in Huzhou City, and then went to the Huzhou Mansion in person to sue Wu Dezhi of Wucheng Zhi County for corruption and perversion of the law, openly ignoring the laws of the imperial court, beating drums and shouting grievances. In addition, there are also Wucheng County Cheng, Tui Guan and other officials.

Wu Dezhi's black materials were naturally provided by Zen Master Hongzhi, and the Imperial City Division did this, but the Imperial City Division was controlled by Shi Miyuan before, and Wu Dezhi was Shi Miyuan's person, so the Imperial City Division turned a deaf ear.

After this battle, Huzhou City was in a big move, and they all gathered outside the yamen to see Zhao Zheng, the immortal of the world, but they didn't care about what Zhao Zheng was doing. In their opinion, this is just a move of the national teacher to play the world, and the fact that the national teacher can do it does not mean that all the people can do it.

Ma Shiyong sat in the lobby, his buttocks only dared to sit in half, next to the bench, the national teacher was standing under the hall, how could he dare to sit down, Wu Dezhi's black materials were auspicious, the physical evidence was sufficient, the logic was clear, and there were witnesses.

Nonsense, the national teacher called, how dare those businessmen and civilians who paid bribes not come, don't tell the facts, even if it's a false accusation, they are willing. The national teachers eliminate harm for the people, and they can no longer act for the tiger.

Zhao Zheng's black materials are not simple, there are no taboos about anything, and there are dozens of officials associated with Wu Dezhi, including Ma Shiyong.

Wu Dezhi faced Zhao Zheng's questioning and accusations in court, and he answered honestly and admitted them all.

"Wu Zhixian, in the second year of Shaoding, in mid-May, you sent a pair of jade, fifty taels of gold and Ma Shiyong, the governor of Huzhou, can there be such a thing." Zhao Zheng asked sharply.

Ma Shiyong kept wiping his sweat in the hall, and Wu Dezhi admitted: "This official can testify that there is indeed such a thing!" Since the national teacher is willing to play like this, he has no choice but to play with him, but it's a big deal that he Ma Shiyong lost the dispatch of the governor of Huzhou and resigned from the government. Anyway, the Song Dynasty didn't kill civil officials, as long as the scope of the case was limited to Huzhou, so the case should be closed as soon as possible, and the case should not be stabbed to Lin'an.

Zhao Zheng hated the Song Dynasty for not killing civil officials, some bastards who brought disaster to the country and the people should be sentenced to death, when Fan Zhongyan wanted to deal with two officials who committed heinous crimes, he was persuaded by others, saying that at the beginning of this matter, if the emperor's hand slipped one day, it would be your turn to be miserable.

The two palaces of the court will not open this mouth, only the emperor can, Zhao Zheng thought of this and regretted a little, he should have secretly let Zhao Zheng follow him out for a private visit, and put him in prison, when the time comes, see how the court ends.

But according to Zhao Yun's temperament, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to do this, and there are indeed two in this matter, Zhao Zheng hopes that Zhao Yun will not be contaminated with blood, and strive to become a happy second-hand young man.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng has to make his own decision on this matter, if he insists on killing, he will undoubtedly push himself to the opposite side of the civil official. The spread of his own Taoism also needs to win the support of some literati. Not to mention the fact that Baiyun Palace can be separated from Zhao Zheng for a short time now, and he can continue to attend classes, all thanks to the help of those Jinshi officials.

Zhao Zheng is strong enough now, but his new Taoism is not yet available, he is still just an infant baby, and Zhao Zheng compromises in every possible way and retreats to take care of him, but he is still to be truly tested.

And is it time for a war with the civilian clique?

It is indeed difficult to choose which is more important.
