The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Update time: 22--6

Su Jin expected that this matter would not go so smoothly, and today's various arrangements are based on this final contest. The successful rescue of more than fifty students is already a great victory, but Su Jin's heart is Still unsatisfied, all the incidents were caused by Wang Anshi and the other four being arrested for no reason, how can they give up halfway at this moment.

The surrounding onlookers looked sideways at Su Jin, and most of them felt that this small official Su was a little too aggressive, and it was already a great shame for Mr. Fu Yin to apologize in person, not to mention telling the whole city to reward him. Rewards, serving wine to thank you, all these actions have shown that Mr. Fu Yin can correct his mistakes, and he will never cover up his mistakes; this Su Jin actually took the opportunity to go further and ask Mr. Fu Yin for more, which is unreasonable. No matter how good-tempered Mr. Fu Yin is, how could he allow you to be so pressing every step of the way.

Sure enough, Tang Jie frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Su Xuezi, I did have negligence in what happened last night, but since you have presented evidence today, I should have heard of it, and there is nothing wrong with it." However, what happened yesterday is different from the case of Wang Anshi and the other four. The evidence in that case is convincing, and the poems written by the four of Wang and the other four slandered the emperor and the imperial court. This government has a warm heart towards you and other students, and is unwilling to damage the reputation of Tianyuan, but the country's law has been restored, how can this government bend the law for personal gain and release those four people, your request is really unreasonable."

Su Jindao: "My lord, you said that the four people's articles had the intention of slandering the Holy Majesty, can you leave the taboo for the next review?"

Tang Jie flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "This is the evidence presented to the court, how can outsiders be allowed to observe it casually, student Su, don't mention any more unreasonable demands, leave quickly, don't entangle endlessly, the government still has official duties, How can I chat nonsense with you here."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Forgive me for being stupid, but my lord's words are hard to understand. What we are talking about is the innocence of the four students. This matter is related to the life and death of these four people. Isn't this an official business? What other official business is there?" It is more important than the innocence of the witness and the return of the reputation of the person? Furthermore, what the Lord Fuzun said about the undisclosed evidence is simply incomprehensible to me. The so-called evidence is the proof of the conviction or exoneration. People all over the world look at it, so as not to cause people to guess randomly and cause people to speak indiscriminately; why the evidence in the mouth of adults has become so secretive, if so, I would say that you have no evidence at all and convict people randomly. "

"presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

"fart!"

Su Jin hadn't finished his words, when Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan, Fu Yin Tang Jie, down to the attendants and servants, Shi Ye and others began to scold him.

"Su Jin, are you suspecting that my Yingtian government office violated the law and justice?" Tang Jie's eyes were fierce, like a tiger whose tail had been trampled on.

All the people in the audience looked at Su Jin with their mouths open. His Majesty Fu Yin was really angry this time. Although His Majesty's official authority is not great, he is a majestic Fu Yin after all. Su Jinyi Jiesheng actually said in front of others that the government does not rely on evidence. Take people, this is smoothing the tiger's beard, this is asking for trouble.

Everyone thought that Su Jin would immediately deny it, but unexpectedly, Su Jin jumped higher than Tang Jie like a lion whose tail was stepped on, and said with a blushing face, "My lord, if you don't disclose the evidence, you will feel guilty in your heart." It’s not just my subordinates who would guess like this, but people all over the world would think so, since they were convicted by writing, why not disclose the evidence to solve the confusion of students like me, isn’t that too much?”

No one expected that Su Jin would have the courage to openly challenge him. Even the daughters of the Su family who lived together day and night did not know that the young master was so courageous and completely confident.

Yan Biyun's palms were full of sweat, and his nervous body was trembling as he pinched the hem of his clothes. He silently prayed for God's blessing in his heart, and he must not make trouble out of control.

There is one exception, and he is Zhao Zongdan. After experiencing Su Jin's desperate actions on the West Mountain, Zhao Zongdan has a new understanding of this young man. In his opinion, Su Jin is a stubborn and stinky boy The hard pit stone, ignore him, he is disgusting you there; ignore him, you can’t break it with a hammer, or you might be splashed with stinky stone chips; I wanted to use this method to get rid of this nausea once and for all Unexpectedly, he pulled the situation back from the edge of the cliff that was about to fall.

Seeing Tang Jie and Su Jin's sharp eyes on Maimang, Zhao Zongdan understood that this person must have come prepared today, and he cannot be subdued by force without reason under the eyes of everyone. There must be some other purpose in worshiping Taizu's spiritual seat today; it is precisely because he didn't figure out Su Jin's hole card that Zhao Zongdan was extraordinarily low-key today.

Now is the time for me to come out to smooth things over, and I can't let Tang Jie get down. Once he can't stand this kind of provocation and take people, within half a day, rumors will spread around Sicheng Jingdong.

Su Jinshicai had actually spread the rumors. What Yingtianfu Yamen arrested Yingtianfu students without any evidence, what Su students tried to argue but were questioned again for no reason, what Su students paid homage to the great grandfather, and Tang Fu Yin was overbearing. Withdrawing the incense case, disrespecting the great grandfather, etc., it would be no wonder that the Ministry of Rites and Yushitai would not intervene by then.

Out of various considerations, Zhao Zongdan decided to come out to reconcile: "Master Tang, why don't you show the evidence to Xuezi Su, so that people in the world know that Wang Anshi and others deserve what they deserve, and at the same time deter people who talk nonsense all over the world. Those who slander Chao Gang and despise the Holy One shall be severely punished."

"My lord, this..." Tang Jie felt unwilling. He was bullied by this kid today. How can he bear this bad breath? It's not that the evidence cannot be seen by others. The question is, can you see it if you say it?

Tang Jie was also at a loss today, in other words, his mind was a little confused with anger, and arguing with a grassroots here in front of everyone was a big loss of points.

Roaring and roaring cannot represent majesty, and the two are arguing, and the high voice does not represent reason, but gives people a feeling of sternness and incompetence.

The lord opened his mouth. No matter how angry the lord Fu Yin is, he must restrain his temper. No matter how big the grievance is, he can only swallow it in his stomach. Tang Jie reluctantly ordered the master to fetch the articles written by Wang Anshi and others. The master He worked tirelessly to recite aloud one by one the places circled by the Chinese ink pen.

"Wang Zuozhi's classical Chinese said: 'Shangguo can practice the words of benevolent governance today, so why are the people froze, starved and displaced, how can there be smoke and dust and thieves, and how can they suffer from behaviors that are not in line with the way and return to transformation! '"

As soon as the master finished reading, Su Jin asked, "Is there any problem with these few sentences?"

"This is slandering today's inaction, and describing the current peaceful and prosperous age as a chaotic world full of devastation and bandits. Alarmist and demonic words confuse the public, and their hearts are punishable!" Tang Jie said righteously.

Su Jin turned to King Teng and said, "But does your lord think so too?"

King Teng naturally wanted to be consistent with Tang Jie, nodded and said: "Exactly."

Su Jin signaled the master to continue reading, and the master shook his head and continued to read: "What Wei Zuo said:'... However, the strategy of the Song Dynasty has been mentioned for a long time today, and no one has proposed a good strategy. Solution, let the money and food rot, and the government gradually decay. If things go on like this, the poverty and weakness of the Great Song Dynasty will be just around the corner...'"

Su Jin interrupted again: "My lord, tell me, what's wrong?"

Tang Jie said proudly: "Slandering the court, satirizing the incompetence of the courtiers, and cursing my Song Dynasty for being poor and weak, the viciousness of his intentions is clearly revealed, how can he be allowed to confuse people with nonsense."

Su Jin asked King Teng again, "Your lord also thinks so?"

King Teng was a little surprised why Su Jin insisted on asking himself whether he agreed. There must be a reason for this, but even though he knew he had doubts, he could only nod and say yes. Otherwise, if he said he didn’t think so, wouldn’t he overturn Tang Jie’s conviction on the spot? Based on this, are you justifying the criminal instead?

So many times, every time the master recited a sentence, Su Jin asked Tang Jie to explain the reason, and then asked for the prince's approval, and Teng Wang felt more and more uneasy. Under the gaze of his eyes, this person seemed to be gradually pulling himself into a trap. The hateful thing was that he didn't know what kind of trap it was.

The uneasiness brought by the unknown is far more frightening than the known danger. Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan understands that Su Jinding is trying to find a way to exonerate the four people. The feeling of being led by the nose really made him uncomfortable.
