Chapter 219: Sycophant
treated Su Shi as his own, because Su Shi never agreed with Sima Guang's governing methods, but he never attacked other people in the old party.
There was no attack on Gao Zhengyi, the empress dowager who was the backstage of the old party.
After all, his own brother Su Zhe is also the old party, and the Queen Mother is still her fan, so Su Shi can't do anything to make fans.
In addition, Su Shi had a good personal relationship with Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and other core figures of the old party, and he couldn't do the same as back then, stupidly aiming his fire at the emperor and Wang Anshi, which was death. Smart people will never fall twice in front of the same pit.
It is said that Su Shi is unlucky.
When Wang Anshi was in power, he opposed the reformers and offended the emperor to death, so he had the 'Wutai Poetry Case', and was finally demoted to Huangzhou. When Sima Guang came to power, he dared to oppose Sima Guang and was degraded again.
But that is the melon-eating masses who don't know the truth are wondering, when was Su Shi degraded in the year of Yuanyou?
Is it good that he voluntarily asked to be transferred out of the capital.
The identity and rank of the bachelor have not been deprived, but on the surface, he seems to have become a governor. Many of the governors of the Great Song Dynasty were prepared for high-ranking officials in the capital when they were demoted. But Su Shi is not, his status, identity and rank have not fallen, what has fallen is only the specifications of the yamen, that's all. And it was his own request, and even Sima Guang had no intention of suppressing Su Shi.
Therefore, Su Shi is his own person in Fan Chunren's eyes, but who is Xu Rang?
What right does he have to argue against his decision?
Fan Chunren, who looked at it more and more unpleasantly, saw that Xu Rang was still a little unwilling, so he said coldly: "Is the old man wrong, or is the law of the Great Song Dynasty wrong?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare."
Xu Rang didn't even dare to look at Fan Chunren, lowered his head, and bowed down to admit his mistake.
Only then did he realize that it seemed that Jia Daoquan's case this time was not an opportunity for him at all, but a pit. The court had already made a decision, and if he had to get along with the court, wouldn't he be looking for death?
The afternoon verdict was even simpler, and the main culprit pleaded guilty, but the motive was still unknown.
Jia Daoquan held a grudge against Gao Xiaoli, and made it clear that he was going to pull a cushion on his death, and involved Gao Xiaoli.
The defendant becomes the plaintiff.
Gao Xiaoli was a little dumbfounded, he was still a ruthless character who stomped his feet in Yingzhou City, and Yingzhou City had to tremble three times, and the Gao family was still not the Empress Dowager's maiden family?
"Gao Xiaoli, the head of the Gao family, slandered the official fire and burned the Yingzhou wharf freight yard, and wanted to extort me 200,000 yuan of silver, but he was angry, so he gathered Zhuang Ding and wanted to go to the Gao family to ask for an explanation."
"Jia Daoquan, you are spewing blood!"
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, but the prisoner has witnesses."
……
Huh-
The people who watched the verdict at the gate of the yamen suddenly burst into a coax, and the confrontation between large households was as eye-catching as a star for the local people. What they like to watch the most is this kind of down-to-earth battle between big people, and it is best to have a battle of life and death on the yamen.
Some people also prepared rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and other necessary props to see the case, just waiting for the criminal to be escorted out of the yamen to the prison, and they had a good time.
On weekdays, who in Yingzhou would dare to greet Gao Xiaoli and Jia Daoquan with these things?
Everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
It's a pity that the big man from the capital didn't cooperate, and didn't give the people this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at all, and the cry of 'dog thieves must not die well' was stuck in his throat, unable to speak, and bombarded people outside, which was too hateful.
But there was no way, the yamen decided the case and temporarily withdrew, Fan Chunren didn't want to make extraneous branches, but remembered that when he came out of the capital, the empress dowager Gao Zhengyi instructed himself to knock on the Yingzhou Gao family if he had the opportunity.
When Gao Xiaoli saw this, his heart was half cold.
Because, he was also treated differently, and Fan Chunren, Su Shi, and the officials of the Yingzhou Prefecture were left in the lobby.
He really wanted to tell Li Kui about threatening him, but the question is, who believes it!
Li Kui is just Su Shi's apprentice, and his teachers are all staying in Yizhou. Su Shi will not be shy to Gao Xiaoli for the sake of a disciple.
But he could predict that Jia Daoquan's rhetoric would be very unfavorable to him.
Sure enough, after the inquiry was over, Xu Rang brought the news to Gao Xiaoli in a hurry. Jia Daoquan avoided the important and trivialized, saying that Gao Xiaoli slandered him for harboring arson criminals, as well as deliberately setting fire to the freight yard, and did not mention anything else.
This made Gao Xiaoli shocked and angry.
Shockingly, Fan Chunren actually believed it.
Angry, he was actually cheated by Jia Daoquan, who was condemned to death.
After the dispersal, Su Shi, as the landlord, should give Fan Chunren a clean sweep to do his best.
Su Shi prepared a family banquet to entertain Fan Chunren.
Gao Yu waited outside the central hall like Shuangqing, he recalled that when Su Shi was in the capital, whenever Su Shi participated in the banquet, it was also such a scene, which reminded him a little, but he didn't look forward to it. It's not a memory that makes him happy.
No one likes the scene where the host eats, and they can only stand on the side and swallow saliva, and they all look forward to eating together.
On the contrary, Li Kui and Li Yun were actually arranged to be seated, although they were close to the door, but they were also flattered to the two of them.
Fan Chunren glanced at Li Kui meaningfully, he didn't understand why Li Kui looked like a poor man, anyway, he hadn't seen the rich young master who went down to the river to catch fish. But this guy's family background is really incredible, the backstage boss of the burned freight yard turned out to be Li Kui?
This made it difficult for him to accept for a while.
How does this guy make money?
However, after the banquet began, Fan Chunren threw Li Kui aside, didn't think about it, but persuaded Su Shi: "Zizhan, after so many years, it's just a matter of serving outside, haven't you thought about returning to the capital?" ”
"What are you doing in the capital?"
After Su Shi took a drink, he was a little upset, and his tone was a little rushed.
Fan Chunren said angrily: "Junshi was a bit arbitrary at the beginning, and we have already felt this. But the Conscription Law had to be scrapped, and you should understand that. ”
"I understand, but why do you want to sign a contract with Western Xia?"
"The lord is weak and the minister is strong, how can he reassure the lord if he doesn't bear the infamy?" Fan Chunren didn't believe that Su Shi couldn't see the problem at that time. Speaking of which, the repeal of the "Conscription Law" is what the old party values the most, followed by the "Qingmiao Law" and all the contents of Wang Anshi's reforms. However, it has to be said that the "Conscription Law" is the one that infringes on the interests of officials the most.
Because the core of the "Conscription Law" is that the large households in various places bear the money and food required for conscription, and the common people become paid conscription. It is a completely different concept from the original Errand Service Law. It is equivalent to the Great Song Dynasty version of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Su Shi shook his head and said to Fan Chunren: "I left the capital because I found that I couldn't do anything in the capital, so it was better to stay in the place." It is better to do something for the people, although it is insignificant, than to achieve nothing. Just like Fan Gong, he only asks about his heart when he does things, and he is the senior I respect the most. ”
"That's right! The big husband should be like this. ”
It must be rude for the elders to speak, and the juniors suddenly speak out.
Li Kui suddenly muttered, and immediately scared Su Guo half to death, what's wrong with this guy, what Fan Chunren said is also the identity of the prime minister, although his father is a bachelor, he has to answer as an official. And he Su, as a junior, didn't even have a chance to interject.
After Li Kui spoke, he found that the eyes around him were looking at him, and he hurriedly buried his head to eat vegetables, and pulled the rice basin the size of his basin.
It's a pity that the big guy won't let him go!
Fan Chunren's impression of Li Kui is not bad, but because Li Kui is too rich, he has doubts. But these doubts did not make him disgusted with Li Kui, and he would not hate the rich anyway.
It's just that the rich Li Kui has made him a little estranged.
Since it is an estrangement, it is natural to have doubts about Li Kui, not to woo, not to belittle, that's all.
But after Li Kui spoke, Fan Chunren was a little curious, and he felt that it was necessary to give Li Kui some eye medicine so that he wouldn't get carried away. So he sank down and asked Li Kui, "Do you know what you were talking about just now?" ”
Fan Zhongyan, that is Fan Chunren's father.
Su Shi said that there is no problem with the virtue of his predecessors, but what qualifications does Li Kui have?
Li Kui was dumbfounded, he just said it bluntly, but if he said it, he would splash out the ground, and it would be impossible to take it back, so he had to say stubbornly: "I think that Fan Gong can be the first minister in the world throughout the ages." ”
Su Shi was stunned, did Li Kui transform into a minister?
Gao Yu was stunned, on the shameless road, he wanted to learn more from Li Kui.
Su Guo was stunned, is this still the simple mountain boy?
Li Yun was stunned, this technique is very useful, but it's a pity that he can't say it, it's troublesome!
Li Kui said Fan Gong, naturally not referring to Fan Chunren, but his own father Fan Zhongyan.
"Li Kui, don't admit your mistake yet, ...... nonsense"
Su Guogang opened his mouth, suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly saluted Fan Chunren and said, "The kid has no intention of offending, and I ask Fan Gong to forgive me." ”
Fan Chunren stared at Li Kui and felt a lot more pleasing to the eye. The first minister in the world is still from the past to the present...... This sounds uplifting! waved his hand, pretending not to care, and said, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous." ”
What kind of childlike words, Li Kui is in his teens, what kind of boy is he?
This guy probably got distracted just now, or he didn't clean up his mouth, and said that he was bald.
But Fan Chunren didn't mean to let go of Li Kui at all, but looked at Li Kui with interest, and secretly thought in his heart: The more this black boy looks at it, the more pleasing it is, it turns out that he likes a junior, and he doesn't need a reason at all. He asked Li Kui: "Li Kui, you said that you are the first minister in the world, which is a bit too much." Throughout the ages, doesn't this disagree with the world's elites? ”
Li Kuixin said that he was just happy for a moment and said what was in his heart. Fan Zhongyan's character, do you still need to question it?
So simply, he said with a shy face: "Just relying on 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world' is enough to be a model for the world's scholars, why can't you be the first minister." ”
Fan Chunren blushed a little even if he was old and mature, and he was embarrassed. But my heart was full of joy, I couldn't wait to hug Li Kuixiang and shout: "That's my father!" ”
