Song Beiyun

The sedan chair stopped at the front of the palace gate, and King Fu slowly walked down from above. Many people heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that he didn't bring anyone with him, but no one dared to go up to talk to King Fu. Everyone was very different. I'm afraid something will happen if I say a few words to him.

At the third quarter of the hour, the bell on the palace wall rang again, the palace gate slowly opened, and all the civil and military officials walked in, but no one dared to surpass King Fu. He left and others left, and everyone stopped when he stopped .

Is there anyone who disagrees?Of course there is, but no matter in terms of status or importance, he is a prince with both civil and military skills, how can ordinary people compare to him?

When we came to the Chongzheng Hall, all the officials stood in line, and soon after the eunuch sang, Zhao Xing came up from behind, and today there is something very special, that is, there is no one behind the curtain behind him. They will sit there behind a curtain and listen to politics.

Maybe it's because she's afraid of King Fu, or maybe it's something else, anyway, she's not here today.

"My lords, if there is something to do, let's go back to the court if there is nothing to do."

The court meeting is actually a boring work report, most of the time is where there is a surplus, where there is a disaster, where there is a food shortage or where there is a bumper harvest.

In short, it was some of these farts going back and forth, and after listening for about an hour, it finally came to the highlight. Doctor Yushi of Yushitai stepped forward, holding a wat board in his hand, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is a memorandum .”

At this time, the Hubu Shangshu next to him also took a step forward: "I also have this performance."

This can be regarded as igniting the explosive point of the court meeting, and the buzzing and whispering sounded.

"quiet!"

The eunuch next to him sang and shouted, suppressing the discussion of these people.

Zhao Xing glanced at King Fu and continued, "Doctor Yushi, what are your roots?"

The censor doctor's surname is Chen Minglu, who was born as the number one scholar 13 years ago. He has always been known for his uprightness and is nicknamed the iron head doctor.

"My minister impeached His Royal Highness Fu Wang for conniving at his subordinates to be greedy for money for disaster relief. According to Yushitai's investigation, the food supplied to the victims by the Luzhou government was not pure grain, but rice bran and wheat bran mixed with rice flour, 1.4 rice bran. This fact is unreasonable. , The law of heaven is hard to tolerate, not only harming our people, but also the crime of deceiving the king, I hope your majesty will learn from it."

These words caused an uproar among the ministers in the court, and it was clearly included in the laws of the Song Dynasty that if the food for disaster relief was shoddy and greedy, it would range from a hundred to three thousand, to severe, and beheaded. The matter of mixing bran and bran is obviously beyond the scope of this shoddy good.

"Fu Wang, is there such a thing?" Zhao Xing raised his head slightly and looked at Fu Wang.

King Fu raised his head and nodded lightly: "It's true."

With a coaxing sound, the court exploded again, and even the eunuch shouted a few silences to no avail.

"Silence!" Zhao Xing raised his hand and slapped the dragon chair heavily: "Silence, everyone!"

The voice gradually died down, but Zhao Xing frowned: "Then Fu Wang, are you guilty?"

"I don't know." Fu Wang said with a cold face, "Your Majesty, may I ask Dr. Yu Shi a few questions?"

"That's natural." Zhao Xing nodded: "You two confront each other."

In Zhao Xing's dynasty, an unprecedented debate system was developed, that is, if the two sides are at a stalemate, they can have a debate, present the facts and reason, and finally decide the winner and then the emperor's decision.

All court meetings will turn into a fierce debate from time to time, but in fact this method is very useful, reasonably avoiding many scenes of group attacks and better helping Zhao Xing to make a judgment.

King Fu walked slowly in front of Dr. Yushi, because he was tall, he stood there like a wall in front of Dr. Yushi.

"Doctor Yushi, this king asks you."

"My lord, please tell me." Chen Lu had a face of awe-inspiring righteousness for the country and the people, and even a bit of generosity as if death was at home: "I will know everything."

"Last year, how much was the surplus grain in the treasury?"

This is originally the job of the Ministry of Accounting, so the imperial envoy naturally doesn't know about it, but he has a little partner, so the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting next to him immediately stepped forward: "My lord, it is my duty at this time. Naturally, Yushitai is unknown, so I will answer the prince on my behalf. Last year, the surplus grain in the treasury was 110 taels."

A smile appeared on King Fu's face: "Then I'll ask the Imperial Envoy again! Do you know how many victims there are in Luzhou Prefecture?"

Doctor Imperial Envoy...Naturally, he didn't know.

At this time, the Secretary of the Household Department coughed: "This is also the responsibility of the Household Department. Originally, there were more than 16 refugees in Luzhou Prefecture, and more than 37 refugees moved into other prefectures. people."

"Okay!" King Fu straightened his waist: "I asked Doctor Yushi three times, do you know how much food a person needs per day?"

The imperial envoy stood there ignorantly, with his head lowered. He thought that King Fu would ask someone who reported him or denied him, but he didn't expect him to ask such a question when he came up. The imperial envoy was not a disaster victim... he How do you know.

"It seems that the censor doesn't know all the questions." King Fu snorted coldly, and his voice suddenly amplified: "When I was a soldier in war, when I was in the most difficult time, a soldier had five catties of rice a day! Three catties were for food, and two catties were for vegetables and salt. Use! If you lose three catties, you will not be able to live."

No one spoke in the courtroom, only the voice of King Fu was heard: "60 people, each person is calculated as three catties of rice per day! How many catties is a month!?"

"Nearly... 30 shi." The imperial envoy finally said, "But..."

"Really? Did you hear what the Minister of the Household Department said just now? Last year's surplus grain was 110 taels."

"Yes……"

"Then the king will ask the censor again!" Fu Wang stretched out his hand and said, "How many months are there in this year?"

"It's more than seven months..." Yu Shi took a deep breath: "In this city..."

"In the city? If all the food in the city is given to the victims, what will you eat? What will the common people eat? If not, what will they eat this winter?" Fu Wang blasted out like a cannonball: "I did mix rice bran and wheat bran into it. But this will be able to survive this winter and wait for next year's new food. Although it is inappropriate, but after all, you are alive, so I will ask Lord Yushi, do you have a good idea? Let me hear it!"

The aggressive prince and the retreating censor made it audible in the court, and the doctor censor was also a scholar, so he naturally couldn't say something like "wouldn't he eat minced meat".

"Nothing to say?" King Fu looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "May I ask all the adults here, did I ask the treasury for a consistent amount of money and a stone of grain?"

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, but Fu Wang showed a sneer on his face: "This king has settled the account, can all the ministers listen carefully?"

Zhao Xing on the top coughed: "Please tell me, King Fu."

Soon, King Fu explained to everyone present the theory of inflation that Song Beiyun had taught Jin Ling'er and the others in detail.

When they heard that ten guan and [-] guan of stone rice had no price, many people’s faces changed. Even the high-spirited censors at Yushitai were shriveled.

"You join me to shake the foundation of the country, and the king asks you, why shake the foundation of the country? Is it this rice mixed with chaff or the people's mutiny!?" King Fu aggressively forced Dr. Yushi to the palace pillar: "How dare you tell me this? king?"

Zhao Xing picked up the teacup, covered his mouth with his sleeve and grinned as if drinking tea, but when he put down the cup, he still had the same desolate expression.

"Return to Your Majesty, I'm done asking." King Fu bowed to Zhao Xing with his hands together: "Please make a clear decision, Your Majesty."

And at this time, Hubu Shangshu took a step forward with a very ugly face: "Fu...His Royal Highness Fu, I have another copy here..."

Chapter 97 May 5

"I don't know how your father is doing in Jinling City."

Song Beiyun was sitting in front of the long wooden table. Today was a weekly rest day. As for what a rest day was, Song Beiyun explained that it was to set aside a day to reward himself after an intense and exciting week.Although in Zuo Rou's words, "Xiu Mu is Xiu Mu, who are you going to fool with some fancy things?"

"Where did you get this ice?" The princess's nose was still stuffed, but because Zuo Rou came back, and it was Song Beiyun's rest day, she also followed with a stern face: "My father's end must be Nothing happened, even with his temper, he has trampled people under his feet and yelled at him loudly."

"Your Highness is so irritable?"

"That's natural. Ci doesn't command soldiers. He is old. If he was young, he would listen to those uncles talking about it. When my father was sick and went outside the Great Wall, he had a hobby of recruiting a hundred spies from Fanbang." , and beheaded together, saying that the head was rolling and the blood was flowing." Jin Ling'er vividly described the feat of King Fu back then: "I also put the head on a pole and fluttered against the banner. Hurry up Tell me where you got this ice from."

"Hey...the taste is really strong." Song Beiyun mixed the wine with many bottles and cans: "Ice is ice made from saltpeter crystallization, you can just ask Zuo Rou about it."

Zuo Rou was drinking beside her, she was already a little dazed, she raised her head and wiped her mouth: "Good wine!"

At this time, Qiaoqiao brought out the cut fruits and fried crispy meat, and sat in the corner.

"Come on, Qiaoqiao sit here." Song Beiyun moved to the side: "How can you sit there, Zuo Rou will be sitting there later."

Pulling Qiaoqiao to the middle, Song Beiyun mixed the drinks one by one like a bar owner, and distributed them to the surrounding people.

"Let's play some games, Brother Yusheng, what do you think?"

Yusheng was relatively quiet. After hearing this, he just pursed his lips and smiled: "I will not participate. I have been dizzy from studying the law these days."

"Let me do the math." Song Beiyun counted the heads of the people on the scene: "Six people, it just so happens that we can play an interesting little game, which has something to do with your law, Brother Yusheng."

"Oh?" Yusheng raised his head: "You should tell me."

Song Beiyun laughed, then took out a few bamboo coasters from the drawer, and distributed them in front of everyone: "This little game is not a game, but it's really interesting."

"Then tell me quickly." Jin Ling'er was gearing up for preparations: "I am the ever-victorious general."

Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "There is no winner or loser in this game."

Just as she was talking, Zuo Rou sat up straight in a daze, and yelled with her tongue out, "I play too!"

Qiaoyun at the side put down his wine glass dumbfoundingly and supported Zuorou, and said softly: "Miss, can you go and rest?"

"No! I want to play too!" Zuo Rou pointed at Song Beiyun: "Tell me quickly."

Song Beiyun rubbed his chin, unhurriedly took out a piece of paper, folded it in half several times and tore it into small pieces, then took out a pen and wrote on it.

"Come on, everyone draws one."

Everyone present stretched out their hands to draw a piece of paper from him. After Jin Ling'er got it, she frowned and said, "Why am I a pariah?"

Yusheng looked at his note and scratched his head: "A rich businessman."

"I'm...a county magistrate." Qiao Yun sneered, "This..."

Qiaoqiao next to him tugged at the corner of Song Beiyun's clothes: "Why... I am a first-rank official."

"Zuorou!" Song Beiyun yelled, "Go to bed and go to sleep."

Zuo Rou looked at the note carefully with her head propped up, and then she grinned: "Hey, Bandit."

Seeing that everyone got the cards, Song Beiyun was about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Miao Yan came in dressed in men's clothing: "I'm not waiting for me even if I have an appointment?"

Because she had already shown her face before, and the young people got acquainted quickly enough, so Jin Ling'er gave up a seat and let this delicious chicken king sit next to her.

"Ah, Sister Ji Wang, your incense powder smells really good today."

"That's right, it's a gift from my good partner." Miao Yan squinted at Jin Ling'er: "You won't loose the title of Chicken King."

"It sounds good." Jin Ling'er said with a smile: "We are playing a game, sister Ji Wang, come and play."

"Don't." Song Beiyun immediately wrote on a piece of paper that a commoner held in his hand: "If she comes to play this game, basically no one else will be able to play it."

Miao Yan rolled her eyes around: "What? Playing "[-] Angry Men"?"

"Yes." Song Beiyun nodded with a smile: "My partner still understands me, but this is an advanced version, role-playing."

In the end, Song Beiyun explained the rules, and the six of them played the role of six people with different identities and different classes. Miao Yan was the director of the game, and she was responsible for setting the scene and guiding the final outcome.

"Everyone understands the rules, so let me briefly explain how to play this game."

In fact, this game is very simple, but it is actually thinking about legal logic. None of the people here are stupid. They quickly understood everything Song Beiyun said, and they all showed eagerness to try.

Miaoyan kept writing the new identity on the paper, and said while writing: "Remember, what you have to do is to play the role you have drawn well, and what you want is to bring in. You should be What kind of way of thinking is needed for any person, don’t I need to say more? A bandit is a bandit, and a first-rank official should be a first-rank official.”

"Test the water first." Song Beiyun cleared his throat: "Then the first round of the game has begun. Director, please set the scene."

Miao Yan raised his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Everyone knows that killing people pays their lives and paying debts, but the world cannot always revolve around the simple world view of killing people and paying debts. This world is extremely dangerous. It is complicated, and there will be many different situations at the same time. What the legal code needs to do is to take care of all aspects, so how to judge and how to correct some situations when the law fails to mention them, this is this Where the game is fun."

"The things this scholar plays are not ordinary..." Qiaoyun looked at the county magistrate's sign in his hand, shook his head and smiled wryly: "I really don't understand."

"It's okay, you can just say what you think." Miao Yan said with a smile: "Scenario [-]: When the bandit kidnaps a rich businessman and is about to tear up the ticket, the rich businessman is rescued by a criminal, and the bandit is arrested by the county magistrate. And this bandit has saved the lives of the first-rank officials in Beijing. The first question is to ask the county magistrate how to reward and punish these people."

Song Beiyun blinked his eyes: "What's wrong with me?"

"You are in charge of the public opinion test."

"Oh……"

This question made everyone fall into contemplation, but judging by the rules of the game, they are not them anymore, their identities have become the identities on the note, and their thoughts, thoughts and actions will affect the identity of another person. life and death.

"Sister Qiaoyun." Miaoyan looked up at Qiaoyun: "What should you do?"

Qiao Yun's face was full of embarrassment: "It's so difficult..."

"It's right to be difficult." Jin Ling'er's eyes were full of brilliance: "This is so interesting."

Yusheng also nodded again and again: "It's very interesting."

"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoyun, if you want to follow in the footsteps of my partner, you must start to learn to think, otherwise sooner or later you will be compared by some people, so no matter what, the first step is for the two of you to leave Go down, don't be afraid." Miao Yan squinted at Jin Ling'er: "Right?"

Jin Ling'er snorted coldly and stopped talking.And this sentence obviously hurt the self-esteem of Qiaoqiao and Qiaoyun. They looked at each other and made up their minds. Reward, the bandits will be beheaded in public, criminals will be restored to innocence, and twenty silver coins will be rewarded... Is it possible?"

"Don't ask if you can." Miao Yan raised his head: "Okay, obviously we are going to the next link. Now the bandits have been killed and the untouchables have recovered their innocence. Come on, public opinion, it's your turn."

Song Beiyun coughed and said loudly, "Master Qingtian!"

"Entering the second round: the first-rank official knows that the county magistrate killed his savior, and he also knows his reward and punishment. What should he do? The first-rank official replied."

Seeing that it was her turn, Qiaoqiao glanced at Song Beiyun, took a deep breath and said, "Does the county magistrate know the relationship between the bandit and me?"

"know."

Suddenly a cold light flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes: "If you know, then you won't give me face. If you don't give me face, then I don't need to show mercy. Find a chance to slander him as a traitor, kill him!"

Not only Song Beiyun, but everyone at the table looked at Qiaoqiao in unison, and she was obviously not joking, her eyes really looked like that: "It's just a little ninth-rank official, kill as soon as you kill it, I am a first-rank official , How difficult is it to plant a crime on him?"

"Okay, the county magistrate is dead." Miao Yan knocked on the table: "Both the bandit and the county magistrate are dead, public opinion, go."

Song Beiyun thought for a while: "It's inexplicable."

"Then the rich businessman was shocked when he learned that the magistrate had died, and asked the rich businessman what to do?"

Yu Sheng frowned: "Scatter all the wealth to curry favor with a first-rank official, begging him to spare a way out."
