Wu Fan's newspaper has not been checked, which seems to be a trivial matter, but it is actually an earth-shattering progress.

The surprise of this incident surprised Wu Fan.

As for what public opinion has done to weaken Li Yibai's government, Song Huizong is happy to see it. He didn't want to see Li Yibai say one thing and do another, after all, what Li Yibai promised him before, the world is still his world. He's going to have to take care of these things.

'Does the boss still have the Jingnan Daily?' A young man hurried to the newsstand.

'Sorry lad, it's sold out. The newsstand owner said helplessly.

'Oh it's gone. The Jingnan Daily is too hot. The young man ran into the next newsstand, and said, "I will definitely subscribe to the Jingnan Daily in the future." ’

The Jingnan Daily is so popular. Because the authorities did not ban the Jingnan Daily, many sensitive articles could be published on it, and it simply became a platform for progress.

Every day there are reports of events all over the country, especially some of the people's dissatisfaction with the government, and some of the progressives' calls for reform.

'Boss, our newspaper sales have exceeded three times that of the state-run People's Daily. An employee ran to Wu Fan with excitement on his face and said.

Wu Fan smiled faintly, "Making money is not our purpose. We have such privileges, we have such sales, and that's to be expected. The key is that we do a good job and publish more good reports. Live up to the emperor's expectations of us. ’

'Yes, boss. The employee nodded and took his leave.

……

Wu Wangfu.

"Dad, Jingnan Daily, you let him unblock again. Now it's a big deal. Their influence is growing. If they use this to incite the radical populace. I'm afraid the consequences are unimaginable. Long Wu saw Li Yibai and said.

I know that. This is the emperor's opinion. Since they are asking for the return of government to the people. Then let's give in to them when the time is right. See what they can do. ’

Li Yibai sighed.

……

On this day, the Jingnan Daily reported an extremely sensitive matter. That is to expose the unjust case of King Wu framing others in the name of rebellion.

The article lists the whole evidence that the family of Chai Jincai, the god of Northern Wealth, was unjustly killed, and the article has clear views, sufficient evidence, profound content, and a clear banner, which is directly aimed at the culpability of King Wu.

In the past, many people didn't know about this kind of thing because no one reported it. In the eyes of many people before, King Wu was brilliant and great.

As soon as such a report came out. Many people were amazed. The image of King Wu Guanghui fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

'Daddy, no. They have the audacity to attack you. Let's shut down his newspaper. Long Wu hurried to Li Yibai's side.

I know about it. Let them be. Since I promised the emperor. I was too early to expect this to happen. ’

Li Yibai said calmly.

Well, the power is in our hands anyway. We don't listen to the emperor. What can the emperor do to us. Long Wu said disdainfully.

After all, the emperor still has a certain amount of influence. After all these years, he was still the emperor. If he had united the people, they would have been bolder. There is even more reason to send it to me.

And I proposed a constitutional monarchy. They grabbed the handle. We can't justify it.

The emperor still has certain privileges for a constitutional monarchy. If we don't respect him. This is a violation of the original promise.

It is believed that there will be many radicals who will use this excuse to launch riots.

It's up to them to do this. Anyway, we are ruling the country according to law. They won't win against me. ’

Hearing Li Yibai say this, Long Wu walked away dejectedly.

'Long Wu, don't be discouraged. Their abilities, we all know. Even if it is to give them power. They can only make a mess more. Then the people will know that our good is coming. ’

Because the newspaper was not seized. So the article is getting bolder and bolder. More articles criticizing Li Yibai were published.

Many other newspapers also asked for this, and they said it. The law requires that everyone be equal.

So the regulatory department was helpless, seeing that Li Yibai had indulged a newspaper. That's no different from indulging in all the newspapers. So they didn't care.

Then. More newspapers are now able to publish sensitive content.

Almost Li Yibai's negative news is flying all over the sky.

At this time, Chai Jincai also stood up. He demanded that Li Yibai be prosecuted directly for his crimes. It is hoped that the court will issue a summons to Li Yibai.

The court judge personally approached Li Yibai to discuss the matter.

Li Yibai said lightly, "According to the constitution of our Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty and I have the best power of amnesty. He can't sue me.

Unless they have the ability to amend the Constitution. ’

The court judge gave this opinion back to Chai Jincai and Wu Fan.

'Come back, both of you.' Without amending the Constitution, you will not be able to sue King Wu. ’

Wu Fan looked through the provisions of the Constitution, and sure enough, it was so.

Hey, I didn't expect Li Yibai to keep such a hand. ’

Chai Jincai was not discouraged and said, "Then we will amend the constitution." This was an opportunity to promote political reform at the same time. ’

'Amend the Constitution, okay. While calling for a constitutional amendment, we have also established a parliament. This is the true separation of powers. really limited Li Yibai's power. Truly return the government to the people.

Then our slogan is to amend the constitution and return the government to the people. ’

Wu Fan said excitedly.

As a result, because of Wu Fan's years of struggle and his constant work in the media, his reputation has already resounded all over the world. He was the leader of the reform.

He discussed with Lu Shi and said, 'Mr. Lu, for Liu Hezhen, for the people, and for the ideals. I think we're going to go out on the streets together tomorrow. We demand that Li Yibai revise the constitution, set up a parliament, limit the power of the prime minister, and truly return government to the people. ’

'Okay. I think our time has come. Now many people have recognized Li Yibai's stain. We're going to have a lot of support.

With the support of the people and the emperor, I believe we should be able to succeed this time. ’

The next day, tens of thousands of protesters gathered throughout the capital. The crowd held signs demanding that the constitution be amended and that the government be returned to the people.

'The master of our country should not be Li Yibai. Rather, it should be the people. ’

'There is no choice but to return the government to the people. ’

'In addition to respecting the emperor, we are equal to you. This is the true constitutional monarchy. ’

The crowd shouted slogans and surged forward.

Of course, Li Yibai's police also went out.

They surrounded the protesting crowd.

However, this time the protest was huge, and many people brought quilts and beds, food, and daily necessities. I'm going to fight for a long time on the streets.

'We will not leave until you return the government to the people.' ’

These people shouted such slogans.

Helpless, Li Yibai had no choice but to negotiate with Wu Fan and others.

Wu Fan entered the Wu Wangfu again. At this moment, he was in a good mood.

He remembered the embarrassment he had when he first came. He also remembered the resoluteness he had at first moment.

He didn't expect him to have the chance to walk in here again.

And this time I came to negotiate on an equal footing with Li Yibai.

'Brother Wu, please be seated. ’

'King Wu, please. ’

The two sat opposite each other.

Li Yibai went straight to the point, 'What does Brother Wu want? ’

Wu Fan smiled faintly, "I just want to return the government to the people." ’

Li Yibai smiled again, "You can directly say the specific conditions." ’

'Establish a parliament and conduct elections. Amend the Constitution to provide for equal rights. At the same time, the bill has to be reviewed by Congress. And not through the Legislative Yuan that you set up privately. There are also unjust, false and wrongful cases that you have created that need to be rehabilitated. Wu Fan said bluntly.

Li Yibai sighed, "What you say and think is what I plan in the future." But you people are in too much of a hurry. It's a headache for me.

And I can't promise you this last one.

From ancient times to the present, no country will reform without death.

Not to mention that I have made such a huge contribution. You will not be thankful to me, but neither will you plot against me. Isn't that ungrateful?

Think about it, without me, you can all eat and read the newspaper. You can live in a good house and have a car to drive outside. ’

Wu Fan insisted and said, "King Wu, no one can do anything wrong if he is not a sage. You too. Since you have a mistake, admit it.

Our society should build a black and white set of values that distinguish right from wrong. If a person's faults are covered up because he has merits, everything about him is packaged as the right thing.

This is a huge misinformation about the values and the concept of right and wrong of the whole society.

Nor can we enforce the rule of law.

Think about it, in the future, if our children are caught killing people. They will say that you have punished me only because I am not the king of Wu, and if I am the king of Wu, I will be safe.

The one who steals the hook is a thief, and the one who steals the country waits.

It's a whole set of black values.

Will the people have a good future if they are misled by such values? ’

Wu Fan's words stunned Li Yibai.

I remember that he had also said something about the orientation of values. He also said that he did not want to turn the people into poor and extravagant people after they became rich.

But when I did too much of my own thing. Everything is based on pragmatism, and gradually these ideas are forgotten.

At the same time, Li Yibai's eyes lit up. He also seems to have found the starting point of reform. That starts by educating the people about morality.

Through the moral infection of honesty and trustworthiness and law-abiding, the people will not act recklessly.

'Go back.' I still can't answer you to the last one of your words. I'll say yes to the rest. But I'll give you an account. His unjust case can be rehabilitated. ’

After Li Yibai finished saying this, Wu Fan was sent away.

After Wu Fan came back, Lu Shi and the others surrounded him and asked, 'Mr. Wu, how is it?' ’

And he said yes. I didn't expect it to go so well. Wu Fan was puzzled.

"It's still Mr. Wu's amazing." Unexpectedly, Li Yibai was moved by a few words. The people rejoiced. (To be continued......)
