Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Tong Guan rebelled, and he was to be exterminated by the Nine Clans and executed by Ling Chi." His flesh can be eaten by the people. You deal with it casually, and he leaves it to you. ’

With a sea of blood and hatred, Lin Yuxiang grabbed one of Tong Guan's arms and bit it.

The corners of his mouth were covered with blood.

He was eating Tong Guan's meat.

In ancient times, people hated each other, and the biggest way to relieve hatred was to eat meat.

It's a very strong sense of ritual.

Sometimes, when the court was a traitorous minister, those traitorous ministers with great resentment from the people, and pieces of meat under Ling Chi were thrown to the people. People used to make dumplings to eat, or eat them raw.

Eating human flesh is such a perverted thing, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is the biggest way to relieve hatred.

Li Yibai didn't care about Lin Yuxiang. He went back.

This palace coup is finally over.

Two days later, Li Yibai entered the palace again to see Song Huizong.

Song Huizong was burning incense and chanting scriptures.

'Your Majesty. Li Yibai said lightly.

Song Huizong returned lightly, "King Wu is here." ’

Li Yibai sat down and sat opposite Song Huizong.

'King Wu, why can't my son believe it? The eunuch couldn't believe it. On the contrary, you, an outsider, are the most loyal to me. ’

Li Yibai said lightly, "Your Majesty, it's wrong to say this. ’

'Wrong. Song Huizong was puzzled. Tell me more, I want to hear your opinion. ’

Li Yibai said seriously, "Your Majesty, I am not loyal to you. It's just that what I want to do is to change the lives of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. I don't want to be an emperor. And now that I'm in a high position, it doesn't matter if I have the title of emperor or not. Duke Zhou did not respect future generations like an emperor.

I have to tell Your Majesty about the constitutional monarchy. The reason why the crown prince and Zhao Gou were ruthless to His Majesty. The reason why the imperial family is impersonal. Just because the imperial power is so tempting. Anyone would like to sit in that chair under His Majesty.

If we are removing the power of the emperor. The emperor is just a name. He has only the right to be respected. He is only the nominal head of state, while power is concentrated in the hands of the prime minister. At the same time, the state is setting up a parliament to limit the power of the prime minister. In this way, people who have great power are restricted. The power of the emperor is gone. Who will take the throne in the future? ’

'Yes. King Wu, what you said makes sense. Are you going to do that? Song Huizong nodded and asked.

That's right. I'm going to set up the council. In the future, the prime minister will also need to be elected and there will be a term limit. In this way, all the powers form a check. In this way, no one will dare to do anything wrong.

Like Cai Jingtong Guan and others, they are used to being arrogant and domineering. They are not afraid of heaven and earth. I remember hearing that a few days ago, Tong Guan was often forbidden to enter and leave the palace. This is the consequence of no one daring to limit his power. If there is an upright guard, he will not be allowed to leave the palace. Isn't there no rebellion? ’

Li Yibai continued.

That's right. King Wu, what you said is so good. It seems that there are many benefits to restraining power. Song Huizong said with a happy face.

That's right. In the era of imperial power, the king is like a tiger. Of course, His Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king, and he does not kill people indiscriminately. But during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, those tyrannical emperors killed people like hemp. Everyone is insecure. If we limit them, they can't kill people at will. In this way, we all have a sense of security. No more living in fear.

Therefore, in the final analysis, it is necessary to implement democracy and the rule of law and realize a constitutional monarchy. Only rules and constraints can be stable for a long time. ’

Li Yibai continued to instill the concept of modern society in Song Huizong.

Song Huizong smiled, "These principles are really practical." In that case, then Aiqing, you can do it. I've got your back. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly. ’

Li Yibai arched his hand, "Thank you, Your Majesty." There is no difficulty at the moment, and I will tell Your Majesty when I encounter it. ’

Li Yibai returned home.

Long Wu rushed to report eagerly. 'Daddy. Cai Jing, Tong Guan. Zhao Gou and others rebelled, and according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, it was necessary to destroy the nine clans. What happened to their families, did they all kill them? ’

Li Yibai said lightly, "Do it according to the law." At the same time, help me leave some obedient villains. ’

Long Wu was puzzled, "Leave some villains behind?" What kind of villain. ’

It's some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who are obedient. I worked. ’

'Dad, why are you keeping these people?' Wouldn't these people be more deserving of death than those good family members? Long Wu was still puzzled.

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Long Wu, there are some things that you have to take your time to understand. So, have you heard the story of Wu Zetian? Wu Zetian reused cool officials to ascend to the throne. ’

'Cool? Lai Junchen, I heard that Lai Junchen used to be a death row prisoner, just because he was bold and dared to report the princes of the Li Tang royal family, so he was reused by Wu Zetian. ’

Long Wu is very smart, although he doesn't read many books, he knows a lot about things.

Li Yibai smiled lightly, "That's right. A villain like Lai Junchen should have been killed, but Wu Zetian entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Later, Lai Junchen frantically tortured those princes of the Li Tang royal family, which made people panic, and no one dared to say that Wu Zetian did not say a word.

The reason for coming to Junchen is 'rebellion.' ’

This kind of thing is unsubstantiated, as long as there is certification. Those who have been wronged simply cannot stand the torture and will confess according to their instructions.

So it's very easy to get rid of whomever you want.

Let me tell you another thing you haven't heard of, there was a dynasty called the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, used the Lanyu case to kill tens of thousands of people. The founding forces will be slaughtered. In fact, that Lan Yu also had no evidence of rebellion. ’

Ryugo's eyes lit up, "I see. It turned out that Dad wanted to use these people to get rid of those who hindered Daddy's reform. Kindness. It's a great way to do it. I'll do it. ’

Among those arrested was Lu Ming, the prefect of Yangzhou. He is Cai Jing's son-in-law and is also implicated. And then there's Matt, who kicked the ball.

These people who were close to Cai Jing were also unlucky.

It can be said that using the evidence of Cai Jing's rebellion, almost all of Cai Jing's party were arrested.

Those fish that slipped through the net were also panicked, and they all sold their properties, incognito, and disappeared.

Lu Ming and Matt were escorted to King Wu's mansion. They knelt in the courtyard, and Li Yibai sat on a chair.

Lu Ming didn't dare to raise his head, he knew that he was dead, he had offended Li Yibai many times before.

Lu Ming, raise your head and look at me. Li Yibai ordered.

Lu Ming still lowered his head, where did he have the face to see Li Yibai.

'Lu Ming, you are disobedient. Originally, I thought that if you were obedient, I could take your life. Your father-in-law is Cai Jing, Cai Jing rebelled, and you were implicated, which is something that cannot be changed. But only I can change it. ’

Hearing Li Yibai say that he might be killed, Lu Mingxiang woke up immediately as if he had been splashed with cold water.

'Ahh What the. You can really save me. I'm obedient. I feel obedient. ’

Sure enough, it's a grandson. Li Yibai smiled, "I'm very excited now." ’

Matt is a foreigner, although he is usually not good at compliments, but I heard that there is still a way to live, in order to survive, he doesn't care about any face, and he also knelt down and kept shouting, "King Wu, you also give me a way to live." I don't want to die, or you can send me back to the United States. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen when I crossed over here and lived well. It's like being struck by lightning. I still like America. The United States has legal protection, and even the president cannot kill people at will. ’

'Hmph, now you think about the good times in the United States. Why did you want me to bring you to the Great Song Dynasty in the first place? I brought you here, and you actually got the benefit, and immediately betrayed me. I'm not going to save you from this kind of villain. Someone came to hand over this yellow-haired one directly to Dali Temple for processing. Li Yibai pointed at Matt and said.

'Don't, King Wu. No, Mr. Lee. Matt struggled, but he was still escorted away by the guards.

Lu Ming was horrified, "Thank you King Wu for saving your life." In the future, my dog life will be King Wu's. I will do whatever King Wu says. ’

Li Yibai nodded, 'Well, that's good. Tell me who else was involved in your rebellion. ’

'Who is involved. Lu Ming's eyes kept rolling, but he couldn't tell clearly, because the rebellion was originally done by his father-in-law Cai Jing, and he was still in Yangzhou at the time, so how did he know that such a disaster would be invited.

Li Yibai asked again, "Is there any Zhu Mian?" ’

Although Lu Ming was greedy for life and afraid of death, he was also smart, and he immediately nodded and said, "Yes." Yes. Yes, this is Zhu Mian, who used to discuss with my father-in-law, discussing what to say about supporting Zhao Gou as the emperor, and then he as a lieutenant. My father-in-law was a prince. In short, this Zhu Mian is extremely evil. ’

Li Yibai waved his hand, and his subordinates on one side recorded their confessions.

'Hmm. Not bad. I still have someone you need to identify in the future. Li Yibai waved his hand again, and Lu Ming was escorted back to the cell.

'Thank you King Wu for not killing. Thank you, King Wu. Lu Ming, who was escorted away, retreated and thanked him at the same time, his flattering appearance was disgusting.

Li Yibai handed over his confession to Long Wu.

Long Wu immediately took someone to arrest Zhu Mian.

Zhu Mian is a big corrupt official, and he also has some connections in the court. But this has Lu Ming's confession, and he can't argue. At that moment, Zhu Mian was thrown into prison. All his possessions were deposited into the treasury.

Big corrupt officials have a lot of money. His land is tens of thousands of acres. There was enough land to be distributed among 20,000 poor families. His money is even more innumerable, most of which he snatched from Jiangnan when he was transporting Huashigang.

When these products were placed in front of Li Yibai, Li Yibai said bitterly,

These are the people's fat and the people's anointing. I really can't figure it out, his family is also a wealthy family, why do you keep so much money. What's more, if you are rich for only three generations, no matter how much money you leave for your children and grandchildren, your children and grandchildren may not be able to keep it. ’

After that, Long Wu used the same method to raid Li Yan's home.

The resulting family property was also confiscated.

At this time, people inside and outside the capital were panicking, and these people were worried about whether Li Yibai would arrest them. Some people took the initiative to find Li Yibai and flattered them to offer treasures, hoping to be loyal to Li Yibai. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
