The Zhigong school believes that there is no money in the world that cannot be unfair, and those city offices located in important cities have only been operating normally for less than half a year before they are corroded under the temptation of money. And the market law has also become one of the bases for the old-fashioned school to attack the law.

Lin Tian wrote to Zhao Ji before escorting nearly 100 corrupt officials back to Kaifeng, and Zhao Ji also made a single decision, announcing the trial of the three halls in the early court, although it was not reported to the world, but such a big thing could not be concealed at all, and the news had already been flying all over the sky and spreading all over China.

After Luoyang's Ercheng found out, Cheng Hao was not allowed to go out because he was seriously ill, so his younger brother Cheng Yi took several Luoyang science disciples to Kaifeng. The chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the imperial envoy, Lu Zhiqing, entertained them.

Lu Zhiqing's name Jifu was originally the number two person in Wang Anshi's reforms, and Wang Anshi once commented on him: "At the beginning of the law, there were many discussions, and it was not easy for Duqing and Zeng Bu to end up, and the rest of them went out and into Yan." ”

However, to Wang Anshi's surprise, after he resigned because of the exiles, Zeng Bu first opposed the new law in the reform faction, when Lu Zhiqing served as the governor of the political affairs (right minister), but at that time, the real power of the left minister had been occupied by the old faction, and he later betrayed Wang Anshi to change the law and became a member of the old faction, and the attack on the new law was even more fierce than Sima Guang and Su Shi. It has many connections with Luoyang Ercheng and is united with each other.

Ercheng attacked Wang Anshi's new learning: academic injustice, forgetting his ancestors, deceiving the world and stealing his name, competing with the people for profit, etc., Lu Zhiqing waved his flag and shouted on the side, gongs and drums were noisy. Wang Anshi wrote to Xiu Jinling that he was so angry that he vomited blood because of this, and wrote to Su Shi to say that he said: "...... There are eyes but no pearls, and they believe in traitors ......"

After Zhao Ji knew that Wang Anshi vomited blood, he also wrote to him to explain the reason. It turned out that this Lu Zhiqing was originally a person in the Lu clan in Taiyuan, but he was an illegitimate child, and his mother was originally a singer, and the Lu family did not allow him to join the clan, and expelled their mother and son to Quanzhou (Quanzhou is the coastal county in the extreme south, which belongs to Fujian Province).

Lu Zhiqing grew up in Quanzhou since he was a child, the shipbuilding industry in Quanzhou is developed, the shipping industry is also very developed, and the shipping drives the business is also very prosperous. Later, he got acquainted with Wang Anshi, and talked with him very harmoniously, and he felt that he hated to see each other late.

The two entered the career almost at the same time, Wang Anshi was reused by Shenzong, and at the same time he was quickly promoted, Lu Zhiqing also had a smooth career, and his official position rose sharply.

However, Sima Guang, a great historian who compiled the "Zizhi Tongjian", once commented that this person's intentions were not right. Sima Guang admonished the emperor and said: "...... "Shu Wang An Shi said: "(Lu Zhiqing) is ......a flattering person, Yu Gong is honest and fast today, once he loses power, he will sell the public and sell himself."

Wang Anshi listened to the "great displeasure", but later facts proved that Sima Guang's vision was vicious, and after Lu Zhiqing saw that Wang Anshi finally fell from power, he felt that the general trend of the law-changing faction had gone, so he betrayed Wang Anshi, and became the tongue of the old-fashioned faction in the court, and he himself was recognized by the Lu family and entered the clan. But Wang Anshi regretted it too late, and he could only feel sorry for himself in Jiangling.

In this three-hall public trial, he was the chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Imperial Historical Observatory had the duties of a supervisory official, so he was one of the chief officials of the trial.

However, the other two, needless to say, the criminal forgiveness of the criminal department, Dali Temple is equivalent to the modern Supreme Court, in charge of the trial of criminal prison cases, ranked among the nine Qing, at this time the chief official Dali Temple Qing Han Xiang, over fifty years old, bearded slightly white, looks square, but is an authentic law changer, won the trust of Cai Qu.

Therefore, in fact, from the very beginning, the outcome of the so-called three-hall trial was already doomed, and a high platform was set up in front of the palace, the emperor came in person, and all the people watched, all he did was to borrow the people's power and sit on the death penalty!

The Song Dynasty did not have the death penalty for scholars, which led to the corruption of officials only fierce beyond human imagination, because even if it was found out, it would be a big deal to be demoted to Lingnan, and there would be no fear of life. The benefits of corruption are completely disproportionate to the costs paid once they are exposed, and this kind of forgiveness of the criminal law is essentially indulging in crime!

Corrupt officials are the most likely to arouse public anger, which is not in line with the interests of the royal family, and Zhao Ji had intended to change this law during Wang Anshi's reform. It is worth mentioning that the old guard of the Dashi clan, led by Han and Lü, is certainly opposed to the death penalty; However, Wang Anshi, who was a reformer, also opposed the death penalty; However, Sima Guang and Su Shi agreed with this.

Sima Guang and Su Shi, if they ignore the achievements of these two people in the history of literature, and only talk about political achievements, then they will find the same thing, that is, they are not ambitious.

Before Wang Anshi changed the law, they pinpointed the disadvantages of the times, intended to change the law, and had many progressive remarks, and when Wang Anshi changed the law, they repeatedly admonished and opposed the new law, and finally both were demoted.

In the original history, after the death of Zhao Ji, the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, Sima Guang served as the prime minister, abolished some new laws, but retained some of them, it can be seen that he was not completely opposed, nine months after being the prime minister, he also died of short-lived illness, and then the remaining new laws were basically abolished.

Sima Guang and Su Shi are considered to be alternatives in the officialdom, they do not form a party, they do things frankly, they are serious Confucian scholars, adhering to the people-oriented principle of the people first, opposing both the new law and Han Lu, and they are the "loners" in the officialdom.

Since Wang Anshi's change of law, Sima Guang was relegated to Luoyang, but in Luoyang did not open his mouth to criticize the new law, nor did he contact with the two Cheng who were also in Luoyang, but only edited the "Zizhi Tongjian" behind closed doors, which lasted 19 years, and finally at the end of last year (Yuanfeng seven years), the compilation was completed.

Businessmen pursue profits, and the footsteps of businessmen are all over the world, which is no matter how dangerous the place, as long as there is profit, there will be the shadow of businessmen. Mr. Shen Jin, the dean of Zhigong Academy, who is a top merchant, was keenly aware of the signs of great changes in the world after he learned of the turmoil in Yangzhou, the news that Lin Tian, the official Qin ordered the minister to escort nearly 100 officials to Beijing, and the news that the three halls were being tried, so he took a few disciples and took a fast boat along the canal all the way to Kaifeng.

However, Kaifeng is the royal territory, where new learning is prevalent, their doctrine is more utilitarian than Xinxue, they actually keep a low profile, and they are shallow to find out the news, they hide in the crowd, just yesterday the Japanese took hostages, the sky is pitiful, and some of them are actually caught in it.
