Wang Cun is almost seventy years old this year. He came from Renzong's dynasty and was appreciated by many bigwigs such as Ouyang Xiu and Lu Gongzhu. During the Xining period, he resigned from office because of opposing reforms. At the beginning of Yuanfeng, he returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, Privy Councilor, and Shangshu of the Second Department of Military Affairs. Yuanyouchu became the Left Prime Minister again. He was a real deputy prime minister, but he was involved in the party struggle between the "new and old" parties and was exiled to the capital.

He was a conservative who firmly opposed the reform, but in the internal power struggle of the "old party", he lost to Lu Dafang, Erfan and others, and never returned to the center.

Such a person has a status and status that is not inferior to that of Lu Dafang and others. With Lu Dafang, Erfan and others declining one after another, and the "old party" faces a group of leaders, his sudden emergence will naturally become the leader of the "old party" who shook the prime minister!

Cai Bian didn't expect that Wang Cun would suddenly enter Beijing. Looking at his ordinary memoir, he felt extremely heavy, and his brows slowly frowned, thinking about something.

Judging from his original intention and the current situation of the court, he does not want to cause trouble again. They need time to digest, consolidate the court, lay out reform routes, and make full preparations for the resumption of the new law next year. The troubles will only involve their energy, distract their attention, and add many obstacles to the resumption of the new law.

He has been through Wang Anshi's reforms and has experienced too many ups and downs of the government. He knows that there is progress but not retreat at this time. He pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "You go in person, meet Cao Zheng, tell Dali Temple, Chen Chao and others the case, and will be tried tomorrow. According to what the officials said, be fair, open and just, and invite the officials of the government and the government to watch. Before Zhang Jingluo and others return to Beijing, Wang Cun will settle the case before Wang Cun arrives in Beijing!"

Chen Qi heard Cai Bian’s meaning, raised his hand and said, “My husband, how should this case be concluded? Dali Temple cannot be convicted of the crime of “disaster chaos and ulterior motives”, right?”

Cai Bian was stunned and then thought.

The crimes of "disaster chaos and ulterior motives" were previously decided by the court, and Dali Temple did not have this qualification. But now Dali Temple is responsible for the prosecution and has no definite crime. How should the case be decided?

If it is a gourd case after a long trial, and it is a gourd case and is bitten back, not only will the restructuring of Dali Temple be questioned, but the court will be extremely shameless, and the criticism of the government and the people will be even more exciting.

"You go and notify me first, I'll think about it carefully." Cai Bian said after a long time.

This case is no longer simple. It must be decided clearly. Any flaws will leave behind future troubles and bring endless struggles to the court. Maybe a second Sima Guang will appear and then overturn the case.

Chen Qi was just a servant of the Secretariat, so he was inconvenient to say more, so he raised his hand and said, "Yes, the official will go now."

Just as he was about to leave, Cai Bian said again: "You go to Cining Hall again to see if Yang Hui can invite King Yan."

As the Minister of Dali Temple, King Zhao Hao of Yan became more prominent and important under the fermentation of Wang Anli.

"Yes." Chen Qi responded, turned around and left the green tiled house, and headed to Cining Hall.

At this moment, Yang Hui was already sitting in Zhao Hao's side hall, sitting on a chair not far from his bed, with the old god there.

Liu Changshi looked at Zhao Hao who was pretending to be sleeping, walked towards Yang Hui and whispered: "Grandpa Yang, my king has been sleeping for a day and a night. The imperial doctor said he wanted to rest, so you can go back."

Yang Hui sat still and said, "I will not leave until His Highness Yan King wakes up today."

Liu Changshi had a headache. He had known that he would not have allowed Yang Hui to come in just now.

Zhao Hao, who was lying on the bed, moved his eyelids and complained in his heart: If you don’t go to trouble my eldest nephew, what’s the use of staring at me? Even if I go to the trial, can I still find something that is unfavorable to Wang Anli, Zhang Dun and others? Zhang Dun even dares to impeach my mother, what am I?

Yang Hui naturally couldn't hear Zhao Hao's heart, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Liu Changshi knew that people like Yang Hui were extremely difficult to deal with. He said this, I am afraid he could really sit until the palace ban!

Liu Changshi was just worried when he received a notice that Chen Qi, the secretary of the Secretariat, came to visit the King of Yan.

Liu Changshi could not believe in the word "visit", but he had to see him.

Chen Qi came in and saw Yang Hui closing his eyes and resting, raising his hand to salute, but Yang Hui didn't even open his eyes.

In Yang Hui's opinion, Chen Qi is Zhang Dun's man and a junior, so how could he be punished for his own status?

Chen Qi didn't care, so he stepped forward to look at Zhao Hao. Seeing that he was pale and sleepy, he turned his head and looked at Liu Changshi with a worried look, and said, "Liu Changshi, Mr. Cai is very worried about His Highness King Yan, so he ordered me to visit him. Your Highness, isn't it important?"

Liu Changshi looked at Chen Qi's worried expression that was not at all pretending to be at all, and he felt disgusted, but said, "Thank you Chen Sheren, thank you Xiang Gong Cai. My king suffered from an emergency and the imperial physician was helpless. Now he can only rest."

Chen Qi nodded, and naturally he couldn't see that Zhao Hao was pretending. He knew that Zhao Hao would not come out to preside over the trial. After comforting him, he left the Cining Palace.

When Liu Changshi saw Chen Qi leaving, Yang Hui still didn't move at all, and he felt very sad.

At this moment, Zhao Xu is in Cuju, not as intense as before, and focuses on physical exercise.

And as winter approaches, it is prone to colds.

Not long after, Cai Bian came, stood outside the court, bent down with a reserved smile, and waited.

Zhao Xu kicked a few times, called for a timeout, took the teacup of tangerine peel, came to the side, and smiled and said to Cai Bian: "What's wrong with Cai Qing's family?"

Cai Bian stepped closer and said, "Yes. Chen Sheren just went to Cining Hall. King Yan was still sleeping. I am afraid he could not preside over the case of Wang Anli."

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "I don't care about this, let them make trouble by themselves."

In Zhao Xu's eyes, Zhao Hao and others are naturally "old parties" like Yang Hui, and they can just bite dogs and watch the show.

Cai Bian and Zhang Dun naturally hoped that Zhao Hao would come out for trial. As long as Zhao Hao confirmed the position of the Dali Temple Minister, some people would be cut off and the case of Wang Anli could be "finalized", which greatly increased the difficulty of overturning the case afterwards.

Cai Bian did not force it, and instead said: "Yes. The officials said before that there was a conflict between etiquette and criminal law, and it needed to be carefully sorted out and put the criminal law above etiquette. The Political Affairs Hall had ordered the Three Jurisprudences to start handling it, but it could not be completed for a while. The charge of Chen Chao, Lin Cheng and others being arrested was "disaster and ulterior motives". If Dali Temple made such a judgment, it would inevitably be a little empty, empty, not enough to be convincing and convincing. Moreover, it is easy to plant the root of the court struggle for the future..."

Zhao Xu understood that such a crime was almost "universal" and had great lethality. It could be confiscated to anyone. It was not that it could not be judged, but that if the judgment was so, it would cause more chaos. In the future, the court officials would follow suit and that the world would be in chaos.

The root cause of this matter is determined by the current political system. Under the monarchy, etiquette and law can often be distorted arbitrarily, destroying the majesty of criminal law and etiquette and law, and do not have enough deterrent effect.

Zhao Xu glanced at Cai Bian and thought slowly in his heart.

There are some things that are really hard to hurry, but you can try and make some preparations.

Zhao Xu took another sip of tea and said, "There are still many places that need to be improved in the restructuring of Dali Temple, such as jurisdiction and judgment. In the case of Wang Anli, I will not make a judgment on where to investigate, but it should not be from the Supreme Dali Temple. I have said before that a three-level institution should be established, and the two criminal cases will be finalized, and the Supreme Dali Temple will be reviewed."

Cai Bian felt moved when he heard this. This lowered the level of trial and indeed gave the court more room for improvement, but it still failed to solve the problem of the conviction of Chen Chao, Lin Cheng and others.
