Song Huizong sat sullenly and meditated in the Taixu Palace. He closed his eyes and asked Tong Guan, 'What has Li Yibai been doing lately?' ’

Tong Guan held the floating dust in his hand, bowed down and whispered, "Back to Your Majesty, Li Yibai has recently enacted two laws, one integrity law and one intellectual property protection law. ’

'Two laws? Song Huizong was puzzled, "What kind of fame does he want to make, has he gathered people and ganged up?" ’

Song Huizong was most worried about Li Yibai's rebellion, and now Li Yibai has a prominent position, almost more noble than the prince, and he is the person in charge of military and political power. It is normal for Song Huizong, as the emperor, to have such worries.

'Back to Your Majesty, he hasn't. Your Majesty don't worry, he can't toss, now Zhongshu Province is full of His Majesty's people, and those officials won't listen to him. Your Majesty, please rest assured. Tong Guan understands Song Huizong's mind very well. In fact, many officials in Zhongshu Province are Cai Jing's people. Tong Guan deliberately said that they were all Song Huizong's people.

Actually, I didn't want to stop what he did, but he couldn't make his own faction and ended up emptying me. I don't want to be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and I can't lose the foundation laid by Taizu. ’

Song Huizong sighed.

In fact, most emperors are stingy, especially the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the sense of imperial power is particularly strong, no matter how cowardly and incompetent the emperor, they are very concerned about their own power, and would rather kill the minister by mistake than let that minister pose a threat to his imperial power.

During the battle, the battle map provided by the emperor was used, and Gong Gaoyi, the father of the second lady of the palace, died on it. The generals in the army are often replaced, so that the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. Moreover, the Song Dynasty also sent a lot of deputies. The prefect has a general judgment. The Prime Minister has a Governor of the Governor's Office. These deputies were all for the purpose of limiting and supervising the power of the important ministers.

In this case, Song Huizong was of course worried about Li Yibai's threat to him

Kyoshi Political Affairs Hall.

Li Yibai said loudly to many officials in Zhongshu Province. These two laws must be enforced immediately, and you should first set up a supervision office in the capital, first see how the capital is in practice, and then implement it to the whole country in a month's time." I want to go back to Lin'an, and I will set up an inspection point in Lin'an to personally supervise the implementation of Lin'an.

You have to find a good way to carry them out. If you do well, I will be rewarded, and if you don't do well, I will also punish. ’

'Yes. The crowd bowed their hands.

Among the crowd was Li Gang, the squire of the military department. There is also Sun Yan, the household servant, and Zhang Rui, a counselor.

Li Yibai was about to leave when he saw Sun Yan suddenly.

'You stop. ’

Li Yibai walked up to Sun Yan.

Sun Yan knew that he was going to be unlucky, he had been hiding in the crowd for fear of being recognized by Li Yibai, and he was also worried about being scared these days.

'King Wu, your subordinates know that they are wrong. Last time, I collided with King Wu and asked King Wu to atone for his sins. Sun Yan bowed and said.

'Hmph. I looked for you before you knew it was too late. I have to do what I say, or who will take me seriously in the future? ’

Li Yibai will not let go of a villain like Sun Yan, who is not grateful and tends to be inflammatory.

'King Wu. Please go around your subordinates. Saying that, Sun Yan knelt down.

'No, I can't. I immediately drafted a decree to remove Sun Yan from all official positions. Exiled to Lingnan for 3,000 miles, all his family members were slaves. ’

Li Yibai said resolutely.

'King Wu, this is not appropriate. It was Zhang Rui, the counselor, who spoke, and this Zhang Rui and Sun Yan were from the same party, and they were both Cai Jing's people.

At this time, of course, he had to come out to save Sun Yan, and he had the courage to be a counselor, and he usually gave a small report to Song Huizong, and when Song Huizong wanted to rectify someone, he would take the opportunity to stand up and cooperate with the impeachment of whom. So he was also very favored by Song Huizong.

Relying on him and the emperor wearing a pair of pants, he is not too afraid of Li Yibai.

'Hmph. Tell me what's wrong. Li Yibai felt unhappy, when he wanted to rectify people, someone dared to stand up and oppose it.

Zhang Rui said arrogantly, "First of all, Sun Yan is not guilty, of course he can't be removed from his post and exiled casually. I, the Great Song Dynasty, respect the scholars, even the emperor can't punish a minister for no reason as he wants. Not to mention that King Wu is just the prime minister. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Of course I have a reason. Let me have two reasons. The first is that Sun Yan is morally corrupt and unworthy of being an official. He was rude to me that day in the court. That day I saved the Great Song Dynasty, he spoke disrespectfully to me, he was a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the barbarian was rescued, and he would be grateful to Dade, he was a scholar of the Central Plains Dynasty and had no courtesy, righteousness and shame at all, do you say that such a person can continue to take on the important responsibilities of the court.

The second is that he offended the king of Wu, and offending the prince is a big crime. And I was given nine tin, and my identity is close to that of the Son of Heaven. At the same time, he was still unrepentant, and when I found him, he knew that he had confessed his mistakes, can we keep such a person? ’

After Li Yibai finished speaking, many ministers were silent one by one.

Li Yibai was disappointed, did everyone agree with me? Looks like it's not easy to mix up here.

'I support King Wu. Li Gang stood up and said loudly, "Sun Yan has long been a villain. Such people must be cleared out of the imperial court. ’

'Good. Li Yibai smiled, "Master Li said it well." I will draw up the decree and then hand it over to the emperor for approval. ’

'Don't. King Wu. Sun Yan kept kowtowing on the ground and begging. 'King Wu, it's not easy for me to do this step as an official. Please let me go. ’

'You. King Wu, you are abusing your power. Zhang Rui said angrily.

'Hmph. Am I misusing power? Sun Yan is corrupt, this is a big crime, don't believe us to investigate. If I find out the evidence of Sun Yan's corruption, then your Zhang Rui's inaction is also a crime. As a counselor, you didn't even find out that Sun Yan was corrupt, which means that you are shielding him. Li Yibai immediately threatened.

'Ahh Zhang Rui became nervous.

This Li Yibai is really hard to deal with. Almost ninety percent of the officials in the DPRK and China are corrupt. Sun Yan is a villain, he is even more greedy for money, and then stammered Cai Jing. If this Li Yibai really investigates, he must be blind and can touch the evidence.

'What? Did you not report it? Li Yibai took advantage of this trick and directly grabbed Sun Yan and Zhang Rui's hunger handle.

Zhang Rui was silent, he wanted to give up Sun Yan, after all, this Sun Yan was just a henchman, and now that Cai Jing was no more, it was impossible for him to pull himself into the water for Sun Yan.

'Hmph. Tell you Zhang Rui, you give me honesty, otherwise you will also be exiled to Lingnan in the future. Li Yibai threatened him.

Zhang Rui was angry and shouted, "King Wu, I won't be afraid of you, don't think I'm a bully, we'll be smart in the future." ’

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Li Yibai smiled, "With your IQ, you are worthy of fighting me?" There will be times when you cry in the future. ’

After speaking, Li Yibai planned to punish Sun Yan.

Sun Yan committed crimes such as offending the prince, moral turpitude, and corruption. Then Li Yibai ordered someone to send the song to the palace for Song Huizong's approval.

Song Huizong received the fold and said lightly, "Li Yibai asked me to punish Sun Yan." He really wanted to prove what he had said in the court that day. ’

Tong Guan hurriedly said, "Holy Lord, this must not be. If you really do this, Li Yibai's prestige will be established. In the future, the ministers were afraid of him. Then he's really in power. ’

Song Huizong said lightly, "I still have to approve." ’

What is this? Tong Guan was puzzled.

Song Huizong said slowly, "You have never been an emperor, and you don't know the truth of being an emperor. Li Yibai has just become prime minister, and the first thing he does to make a decision, if I as the emperor will not approve it. He must have hated me even more. Moreover, Sun Yan insulted him in front of him that day, and everyone saw it. It was Sun Yan's fault that day. He holds morality.

And although I am wary of Li Yibai, I still have to do these superficial articles. I can't go against him so directly and openly. It would make him want to oppose me even more.

The art of controlling people is something that every emperor must learn. Although I am obsessed with the art of calligraphy and painting, I can't forget these for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. ’

Tong Guan hurriedly said, "The emperor is sage." ’

Song Huizong waved his pen and put a check mark on the fold. Tong Guan put a jade seal on it again. After that, he sent someone back to the government office.

When the Emperor returned, they immediately wrote the recital and issued it.

This whole process is also the process of division of labor between the prime minister and the emperor in the Song Dynasty. The emperor only had to approve these things. Sometimes I don't even bother to make a checkmark, and I can agree directly verbally.

However, if there is too much verbal consent, it is easy to cause the prime minister to have too much power. Because the emperor sometimes doesn't necessarily remember that incident, he didn't agree.

But the prime minister can claim that the emperor agreed, and there is no record of approval anyway. In this way, the prime minister can act recklessly.

The decree was conveyed by the eunuch to Sun Yan's house.

Sun Yan took the whole family to kneel on the ground and listened to the reading of the holy decree.

'Ahh Sir. We don't want to go. ’

Sun Yan's family burst into tears.

Sun Yan also hated Li Yibai extremely much in his heart.

'Hurry up and leave, leave the capital within a day.' ’

The eunuch also brought a lot of guards at the same time, and these guards came to raid the house.

When he went to court the next day, many people talked about each other.

'I've heard that Sun Yan was punished. King Wu can't afford to offend. ’

"King Wu is also a new official, and he takes Sun Yan to sacrifice the flag." ’

Alas, it's hard now. If we stand on King Wu's side, the emperor will inevitably be unhappy. But we are on the emperor's side, and we can't afford to offend King Wu. The most pitiful thing is that those of us who are subordinates, it's difficult. ’

I see how difficult it is. We're just standing on both sides. Ha ha. ’

This mainly depends on the character of King Wu. I think King Wu is young and promising, and his bearing is extraordinary. He doesn't have to be a merciless person. He reprimanded him in the hall that day, and although I was a little upset, what he said was very reasonable, and I was deeply inspired. Someone like him doesn't have to be us. ’

If you want to say that you are not harsh on us, it should be Gao Yu Gao Tai Tai. He's a really good guy. I've never seen him arrogant to anyone. ’

The ministers chatted a lot. (To be continued......)
