Liu Qi said: "Zheng Xianggong is a people's girl after all, and it is a little inappropriate to bring it to the capital. I'm afraid that once this case is opened, there will be no peace in the future. ”

What Liu Qi said is similar to what Bao Qingtian said in the later TV series. Bao Zheng tried the world's unjust cases and brought the prisoners to Kaifeng Mansion at every turn. Hugh said that Kaifeng Mansion does not have this power of final adjudication, and even if it does, it is impossible to take all the prisoners to Kaifeng Mansion one by one. There are so many cases in the world, can Bao Zheng be busy?

Zheng Lang didn't explain again, since you know that you are just a folk girl, why don't you all compromise together?

And some of them can't be explained at all.

Xu Xu said: "This woman shocked the world and is worth bringing to the capital." Let's also take a look, if this woman is a very vicious person who will be killed, if not, we will also reflect. Although this woman has a motive to kill, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, what does such a child know? If the parents were still alive, would it have happened? Why did his father die early and his mother die young? I believe that the age of death of his parents was only about 30. If it is normal life and death, illness and death, if it is because of poverty, death in middle age, resulting in a young female prisoner who has no one to teach, it is not only the female offender who is at fault, but also our imperial court. If this woman is not the kind of person who is extremely vicious, she can't be severely punished, including our court. Think again. ”

"Gong Zheng, this is extremely true, just give an edict like this, and then check the cause of his parents' deaths." Zhao said.

This is the thick humanistic spirit.

Why did the dispute occur, it was this kind of humanistic spirit that appeared in the primitive germ of the Song Dynasty under the condition of emphasizing internal governance. However, Zheng Lang did not dare to speak out.

The ministers are no longer arguing.

Zheng Lang is not unreasonable.

is just a folk girl, and the victim only has a broken finger, and if she says something unpleasant, she will be killed if she is killed, and if she is released, she will be released. And so on and so on. It's not beautiful in the end. Besides, there is still something to be done in the DPRK and China.

Come to the capital. If it is overdue, you can take a look at it and save everyone from arguing again.

But that's not the problem.

Zheng Lang sent a small official to inform Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, and asked them to come to his house for dinner in the evening.

It was late afternoon. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi came to Zheng's house.

The two were raising the bar, and when they saw each other coming, they pretended not to know each other.

Zheng Lang touched his nose.

What is the biggest factor in success, persistence.

The result of stubbornness. It's often just a failure.

Hereof, What is the difference between persistence and failure? So Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang succeeded, but they also failed.

Let the servant bring the dinner.

Dinner prepared just for them, two side dishes, and a large pancake. Pancakes are not small, one person is enough to eat, two people are definitely not enough. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi looked at Zheng Lang, and Zheng Lang said, "Junshi, Jiefu, we have eaten." Please dine. ”

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the teacher's gourd, and the two look at each other. Sima Guang was two years older, and he set an example by cutting the pancakes in two, of course, it was impossible to mark them very standardly, and handed a slightly larger piece to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang and unceremoniously took it and ate it.

Zheng Lang smiled slightly, the situation was better than he imagined.

The main thing is that in the past few years, especially before the end of next year, get through it and see the effect, and then it will become fine-tuned, and the controversy will gradually decrease. In any case, I can stay in the phase for a few more years, and if I teach and work with each other in the past few years, the problem will not be serious. Otherwise, the conflict between the two will intensify in the future, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

What are the consequences, just look at the current Tang Jie to know how serious it is.

Food is silent.

After the two of them had eaten, Zheng Lang said, "Jiefu, are you satisfied with the cake that Junshi divided?" ”

Wang Anshi did not speak.

Zheng Lang asked again: "Would you be satisfied if Jiefu divided the bread into two obvious pieces, kept the large piece of bread for himself, and gave you the small piece?" ”

Sima Guang said: "Gong Zheng, say whatever you want." However, although we insist on our own views in the Ayun case, it is a state affair, and we cannot substitute personal feelings into it, family affairs are family affairs, and state affairs are state affairs, which is also what you taught us. ”

"Yes or no, I just want to ask you, why did a small case cause such a big sensation? Don't tell me that you're just trying to obey the law. Zheng Lang said. In the feudal era, was there really such a thing as a public servant obeying the law? The situation of the Ayun case is the same as the Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage cases in later generations, no matter what the truth is, it should not cause such a big sensation. The reason why this is so is that behind the scenes, it is only a civil case on the stage, but there are more things behind it.

Moreover, the Ayun case is more obscure than what is behind the Yang Naiwu case.

Zheng Lang said: "The interests of the world are nothing more than two major parts, the emperor balances left and right, not counting, one is the scholars and the powerful, and the other is the ordinary people." Scholars and magnates occupy the majority, and if they continue to occupy it, squeezing the living space of ordinary people, the country will be unstable. With proper forbearance, ordinary people will feel satisfied, similar to the form of dividing the pie. But scholars and magnates are the elite of the world after all, and it is difficult to say that most of the world is their world, and here, even the emperor has to be afraid of this group. Therefore, ordinary people should not excessively, or forcefully, demand more concessions from the elites. ”

"Gong Zheng, it's not so serious," Wang Anshi said.

Zheng Lang continued to smile and did not answer.

This explanation is very vague, but with the wisdom of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, there will be no problem.

To be precise, Zheng Lang originally planned to divide a piece of bread into three, one for scholars and magnates, one for ordinary people, and one for the emperor and the country. It's a little clearer this way. But who will represent the country and the emperor, is it himself?

Actually, today this cake is missing.

Others didn't say.

In the ancient slave society, ordinary slaves lived backward and difficult, and in the feudal society, the Han had domestic slaves, and the Tang had tribal slaves and maids, and it became better in the Song Dynasty. There are also a small number of slaves and concubines and prostitutes, it is difficult for such people to have personal freedom, there are still tribes in the Kuixia area, but most areas have no tribes, allowing the sale of fields, not allowing the sale of ordinary people, or the southwest and south barbarians live in the area, but two Guangzhou. Under the constraints of Zheng Lang's various policies. and the gradual enlightenment of the people. There is also less human trafficking.

This is the breath of civilization and progress.

The internal reason is that several monarchs in the early Song Dynasty attached great importance to internal governance.

The humanistic atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, which has led to the emergence of the idea of leniency for some scholars, which is not the kind of leniency of the Han Dynasty, but for all the people. It's not just the elite class of scholars and magnates.

However, there are still some scholars who strongly maintain the original order, and the case of Ah Yun is a case of reluctance and deliberate murder, and the reason why Ah Yun must be executed is to maintain the three outlines and five constants of feudalism. Even if it reluctantly violated the three principles and five constants, it also made some scholars vaguely feel that it would eventually destroy the order of the elite governing the world and the status of the elite.

As Zheng Lang, he must like the latter, so that the people can be more civilized and have more right to speak, so that society can progress. If it remains unchanged, more than ten years later, as Sima Guang kills Ah Yun again, this benign sprout has completely disappeared. China is once again entering a kind of dead loop.

This is the reason for the serious controversy in the real Ayun case.

But Zheng Lang can't say.

Sima Guang and the others are very smart, but they have no vision for future generations. I didn't fully understand it for a while, and I only wanted to understand the meaning of Zheng Lang's words for six or seven points, which was enough. Seeing the two of them raise their heads, Zheng Lang once again downplayed the meaning of the country and said: "I think, you have also figured it out, the country is not only the country of scholars, but also the country of all the people. Can't underestimate ordinary people, the powerful Qin Dynasty is being destroyed by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, including Han Gaozu, and his career can only be regarded as an ordinary person. Not to mention Zhang Jiao and the likes of Huang Chao, their backgrounds are also not noble. The interests of the country are like this piece of cake, the elite accounts for the majority, and it is not wrong to take the initiative to distribute some to the common people in moderation. However, it cannot be forcibly distributed, otherwise the world will be in turmoil. Therefore, I advocate morality, so that scholars and magnates can take the initiative to participate in this righteous act. Of course, the best thing is to give the scholars and the powerful a bigger pie, and at the same time give the common people a life. But how hard is it? ”

Sima Guang said: "Zheng Gong, I don't fight, Zheng Gong will do what he says." ”

"I can't say that I can do what I do, and what I do is not necessarily right, and it is more dangerous. If you want to please both sides, if you can't get it right, you won't please both sides, but it will become a trick to add to it. How to decide, let's see what kind of woman this Ayun is. However, now that the state affairs are important, we must not allow the court to seriously split the production of reproduction. Especially because of Ah Yun's incident, if the court is divided into two factions, have you ever thought about this consequence? ”

"Zheng Gong refers to the party?"

"Jiefu, Zhongye, I'm afraid of this, there must be no party strife, otherwise the country's major affairs will be resolved."

"Gong Zheng, are we qualified to form a party dispute?"

"Jiefu, if I don't adjust, it's enough for the two of you."

"No, it won't."

It's not weird! Zheng Lang said again: "The Ayun case is a small matter after all, and the country is a big matter. The country is well governed, thousands of families are happy, and the family is alive, will there be orphans like Ah Yun? If her parents were still alive, would they marry her to an ugly man at the cost of a few loads of food? Will this tragedy happen? It is fundamental to govern the country well. ”

"Gong Zheng, teachable." Sima Guang was sitting precariously.

Zheng Lang's humility may not be able to listen to it, but this sentence is very popular, and it goes to his heart.

Not necessarily, Zheng Lang reformed, Sima Guang was slightly disgusted with the teacher, and Wang Anshi opposed Zheng Lang's final strides to compromise, fortunately Zheng Lang was their teacher, otherwise Zheng Lang would become the second Su Dongpo under the exclusion of the two.

Without Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, the dragons were leaderless, and the controversy finally subsided.

Ah Yun took it to the capital.

A little girl, malnourished, not very good-looking, skinny, and bony-skinned, if she grew well, she could not sell only a few loads of grain. But it's not too ugly, it's thin, and if you grow your body, it's still beautiful.

Originally, he didn't look very good, but after all kinds of fright, he was escorted to the capital, and he was not human. This case caused a sensation all over the world, and as soon as the front arrived in the capital, it caused hundreds of people to watch at the back. Seeing the little girl so thin, it finally aroused the sympathy of the people.

That family has no children, if Wei Da is really killed, murder to pay for his life, repay debts, and be hanged, it is justified. But with only one finger chopped off, is it worth pulling up the gallows?

Soon brought to Dali Temple.

Zhao Ji asked a cadre of imperial history, Dali Temple and the criminal department to preside over the trial, and the three departments were tried, which is the ultimate triage in folk rumors.

Because of curiosity. Zhao Ji issued another edict. Let a few officials in the Eastern Mansion also come over to watch the case. Not only let Jae Zhi come over. He himself ignored the opposition of the ministers and came to Dali Temple. With a little finger, three sessions become three sessions, and two are observed. The person who was watching was the emperor and the prime minister.

The specifications are so high that there has never been anything since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

For these officials. When they meet every day, everyone is unconscious, but for Ah Yun, these people are not immortals in the sky. It was like a frightened rabbit, but now the whole person is scared stupid, I don't know how to worship, I just kneel on the ground and cry.

Zhao Ji said, "Ah Yun, you raise your head. ”

Ah Yun was still crying.

Two officials stepped forward and forcibly broke Ah Yun's head.

Malnutrition, stunted growth. It's just growing, but it looks younger. It's like an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Zheng Lang said that he was extremely vicious, but he only saw Chu Chu pitiful. Zhao Ji stopped listening and said: "This is also my people, I am ashamed." ”

After speaking, he got up and left Dali Temple.

Not only is the little girl pitiful, but Dengzhou also brought news from the little girl's family, her father died of the drought in Dengzhou a few years ago, and her mother died of illness, and the family had no money to see a doctor, so she died of illness. The uncle had to adopt him, but he treated him very badly and scolded him at every turn. But the little girl is young, what can she do? Of course, the situation in my uncle's family is not very good, I can't do much, what do I do with one more person? So regardless of Wei Da's situation, and regardless of Ah Yun's intercession, he sold her to Wei Da with a few loads of grain. And Wei Da's situation is not only ugly, but also lazy by nature, almost forty years old, and the voice of the people in the countryside is very bad, and then this tragedy happened.

Since the case, the people in the countryside of Dengzhou have felt indignant for Ah Yun.

Zheng Lang said that the imperial court did not do well, exaggerating, no matter how good the country is, there are always some poor people. But Ayun's background is very pitiful.

Seeing the girl's appearance again, Zhao Ji couldn't stand it, and Zheng Lang couldn't stand it either, and said: "It's a human being, and there is always some morality and compassion. We are all scholars, and we read the books of the saints all day long. ”

As he spoke, he left Dali Temple with a few deacons.

At this point, there is no longer any dispute.

Soon the case went down, and Ah Yunliu was sentenced to three years in prison. It's just exile, and there is no word.

When Zheng Lang entered the palace to give a lecture, Gao Tao deliberately asked about the case and said: "When this woman is released, give her some money to live." ”

Zheng Lang shook his head and said: "Even if you give some money, a weak woman can't protect her, not to give her money, but to harm her." ”

Gao Tao thought about it behind the screen and said: "In this way, I will say hello to my mother's family, and when her sentence is completed, let them take this girl to her home as a slave, and when she grows older in the future, find a good family for her." ”

"The Queen Mother is merciful, this is the blessing of the people of the country," Zheng Lang gave a big gift. That's the best, no matter how bold Sima Guang is in the future, he won't dare to go to the Gao family to bring the prisoner out and behead him. It's not a human head that is chopped, there are too many things to chop.

The Ayun case is over, and some consequences are invisibly caused.

Because Wang Anshi insisted on not killing Ah Yun, he invisibly had a higher status in Zhao Ji's heart, and his political philosophy, no matter what Zheng Lang taught Zhao Ji, he was also very similar to Wang Anshi, of course, Zheng Lang could not intentionally teach Zhao Ji to become conservative.

So a personnel transfer surfaced, Wang Anguo.

He took the Jinshi exam several times and did not pass the exam, but he had no choice but to take the second grade, and he passed the examination this time, and his strategy was one. It happened that his mother died, and he went to Jiangning with Wang Anshi to worry. During the period of Ding Wei, he wrote fifty articles of "Preface", and Zhao Xuan ascended the throne, first Wang Qi recommended it to Zhao Xu, and then Han Jiang and Shao Kang promoted his talents. Zhao Qilai came to participate in the examination of the house system (slightly inferior to the good Fangzheng department), and set up the third class, the highest is the third class. He was given a jinshi and a strategy, and was awarded a professor of Xijing Guozi.

However, the appearance of Wang Anguo brought greater vigilance to Zheng Lang. is not only the appearance of Wang Anguo, but also Wang Anshi's personnel transfer. Finally let Zhao Ji move Wang Anshi to the governor, Zheng Lang is not good to object, this one has suffering, who would have thought that Zheng Lang was not Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo at this time, but his two students.

The ministers are on the table, please add Zhao Ji's name Fengyuan Xiandao, Wenwu, Renxiao, and the edict is not allowed. It is the third table, Sima Guang entered the duty, and said: "The gift of honorific titles, not the order of the first king, started in the world of Zhongzong after Tang Wu, so it is a story. The first emperor was not honored by the title, the world is not praised, in the last years, there are suggestions that the country and the Khitan exchange letters, he has the honor and I am the only one, I think it is a deep shame, so the ministers revert to the non-time honorific name. When Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu claimed to be 'the birthday of heaven and earth and placed the Xiongnu in the big single of the Xiongnu', and did not hear that Emperor Wen was reinstated as a great name to add it. May Your Majesty follow the original intention of the first emperor and not be subject to this number. ”

Zhao Dayue replied to Sima Guang with an edict: "Feiqing, I don't hear this." ”

So I didn't allow it.

In short, Sima Guang still has some progressive ideas.

As long as the contradictions do not worsen, Sima Guang will not reach the point of shamelessness in his later years.

However, for this honorific title, Zheng Lang, as a descendant, does not matter.

This was followed by a series of personnel transfers.

At first, Zheng Lang merged with Zhou County, and some people proposed to merge Yanyan Road and Huanqing Road into one road to reduce officials. Lu Gongbi admonished: "Since Baicao West arrives far away, the middle is thousands of miles apart, if it is combined into one road, there is a sudden emergency, how will it be dealt with?" ”

Sima Guang impeached the inner servant Gao Jujian, Zhao Ji was undecided, and Lu Gongbi said: "Light and Jujian are incompatible, Jujian is only the ear of the minister, and the light enforces the law, may Your Majesty choose the most important one." ”

Zhao Ji asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Gongbi said: "Moving to Jian Yiguan and dismissing him from his close post will be indisputable." ”

What Lu Gongbi did in Xifu seems to be the only thing he can get.

Wang Anshi served as the governor of the political affairs, and Lu Gongbi did not attach many opinions, although the division of rights between the two governments, it was a little inconvenient, and it was proposed to use Lu Gong's book as the imperial history. The intention is known, Lu Gongshu served as the middle of the imperial history, and Lu Gongbi was embarrassed to serve as the prime minister of Xifu? Chen Sheng's letter, the guards are more than forty years old, and they fail to pass the assessment, reduce their supply, and settle Huainan. Lu Gongbi thought it was not human.

is this sentence, let Lu Gongbi urge sadly, the country's finances are tight to this point, what kind of favors, of course, it is best not to be nervous, and all those below the fifth class household will be incorporated into the forbidden army and raised, but does the country have this money?

He also wrote to try to be quiet, not only conflicting with Wang Anshi, but also not very much in favor of some of Zheng Lang's changes, so he was placed in Taiyuan Mansion.

Subsequently, Lu Gong was used as a privy envoy.

It may not be good news for Zheng Lang, one student is the governor of the government, and the other student is the privy envoy, although Zhao Ji proposed them and has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, but Zheng Lang couldn't help frowning. Especially at the court meeting, that is called conspicuous and dazzling.

There are also behind, whether it is Sima Guang or Fan Chunren, or Yan Rong, the standing position is also very forward.

Only Shi Heng stood very backward on the west side.

Zheng Lang was glad in his heart, fortunately, he proposed to get Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu into the court, otherwise it would be more conspicuous now.

There are advantages, but also obvious disadvantages.

Han Qi wrote his resignation again, and the news of the Jiang Hui War came out, and after thinking about it for a long time, if he helped the two, more people would impeach him. If you don't help the two, you don't know what Zheng Lang thinks. has reached one, and then two kinds, and he and Zheng Langliangzi are really married.

After thinking about it, I took the responsibility and asked them to send troops. A third resignation is submitted.

Zhao Ji didn't care about Han Qi's resignation, but cared about the dynamics of the Western Xia people, and passed the Northwest Army report to the two prefectures, Zheng Lang read it and said: "The reason is very simple, so the weak are also, only bullying the weaker people to prove themselves, this is the weak." ”

Because there is no self-confidence, it is a sign of lack of self-confidence to often bully the weaker person to prove to others that he is not weak.

But everyone was dumbfounded, so wouldn't the Song Dynasty be the weaker person?

is not ridiculing the Song Dynasty, a very important sentence. (To be continued.) )
