Ouyang Sangen returned to the yamen, not thinking that Liu Huilan and Wan Yanlan had been waiting for a long time. Liu Huilan said: "My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"yes, long time no see. Zhan Ming is okay with you? ”

“…… OK. Liu Huilan whispered back: "This girl can't bear it, and she keeps going out." I don't know what she said, so I can only bring her here. ”

After Ouyang finished watching Yan Lan, he changed into a Song suit, the light blue clothes made Wan Yan Lan like an orchid, and then raised his chest and raised his head, which was different from the Song girls who bowed their heads slightly, they were restrained and did not receive, and their posture was correspondingly attractive. Ouyang couldn't help but look at it twice: "Huilan, I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, to be honest, I don't know what she wants to do." Why don't I send someone to the dock to find Shen Ba? ”

"At this time, people should rest."

Ouyang said helplessly to Wan Yanlan: "Is it okay for you to go back with her?" Will I send you back to Jinguo in a few days? ”

"Good!" Wan Yanlan replied in Chinese.

Ouyang was surprised, and asked again: "Are you stupid?" ”

"Good!"

Ouyang laughed, and Liu Huilan covered her mouth and said, "My lord, you are really bad." ”

"You can take it back. I'm sending you there, I'm going to trouble you these days. ”

"Where's the talk, my lord."

……

Ouyang originally wanted to go to Beijing alone, but Zhan Ming considered that it was surging now, and with the giant thief Song Jiang, he accompanied him to Beijing. Along the way, Zhan Ming also felt that he was a little more careful, and the world was still very peaceful. Yangping is not far from the capital, just a two-day journey.

After entering the capital, it is still exactly the same, and I can't see that there has been a usurpation of the throne. Occasionally, it is common to defecate on the road, and the vendors shout and drink. The palace passage was also occupied by a small part of the vendors. Before arriving at the palace, Ouyang handed over the decree, and immediately reported that the forbidden army had entered.

About half an hour later, a eunuch came out, and Ouyang looked at it, an acquaintance, the ninth father-in-law. The Ninth Gonggong saw Ouyang and said, "Lord Ou, the emperor invites you to the Imperial Garden." ”

"Zhanming, you find a place to live first."

"Yes!"

……

Dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, four palace maids followed, and the emperor was walking in the imperial garden. The ninth father-in-law walked to the vicinity and said, "Your Majesty, Ouyang of Yangping Zhixian has arrived." ”

"Well, you all go down."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yu turned to look at Ouyang, Ouyang pulled his clothes, sleeves, and pants for half a minute. Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it, if you don't want to kneel, don't kneel, why pretend." Sit down at the pavilion. ”

"Emperor Xie!" Ouyang then said: "I don't know if the emperor called me to ......"

"If you want to say a minister or a micro-minister, you want to call me Your Majesty."

"Yes, I don't know if Your Majesty called Weichen to ......"

"Nature is a matter of annoyance." The Emperor sighed. She could see and feel that the courtiers all had the taste of bullying her for being young and not in the right position. And the appointment of a cadre of former ministers that she originally promised was strongly opposed by the ministers. There is also the fact that Ma Han and Zhang Xuanming have no fame. The ministers were also strongly opposed to their entry into the temple. In a word, she has military power, but she has no imperial power, and there is not even a person in the court. The most important thing is that the ministers are talking about the ancestral system, such as the three generations of exiled courtiers are not allowed to be officials, for example, Taizu said that those who are not subject to the imperial examination are not allowed to raise officials. In addition, her current imperial power is unstable and her prestige is not high, so she is uncomfortable. And at this time, she remembered that she really had a cronie of the imperial examination, and that was Ouyang. It's too much to say that cronies, but it's finally their own people.

"Ascending the Pavilion?" Ouyang thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the solution!" Besides, I'm alone...... Weichen alone can't fight these old worms who have been immersed in officialdom for decades, plus my ministers...... Weichen is not familiar with the rules of the temple, so he can't help those old worms. ”

"Old worm? Ha ha! Zhao Yu laughed and said, "That's right, old worm." So what can you do about it, little worm? ”

"Well...... There is a way, in fact, the easiest way is to legislate! ”

"Legislation?"

"That's right! We first made some decrees that the ministers could not oppose, and then gradually consolidated the imperial power. ”

"What kind of legislation? Let's talk about it. Zhao Yu was interested.

"To legislate, we must first make a constitution. The so-called constitution is a decree that even Your Majesty cannot overturn, and it is a decree that the future successor of the Great Song Dynasty cannot overturn. ”

"Tell me!"

Ouyang drank the tea and said: "First of all, stipulate the state system. You are the emperor, and the decrees you make are the constitutional system of kings, because you will govern the country by decrees. ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "Go on." ”

"Second, make the king the supreme commander of the army."

Zhao Yu shook his head: "I don't really understand, what's the use of this, I am." ”

"Wrong Your Majesty. For example, the military has military law. What if someone orders you to attack? According to the Constitution, the order is invalid regardless of who usurped it. Of course, no one cares about the constitution if someone really usurps the throne. However, as long as the constitution is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and everyone knows that the constitution is immutable, those who want the military to usurp the throne must weigh it, and their subordinate officers can swear it...... That is, when they enter the army, they must swear to abide by the constitution and support His Majesty. ”

"Well, you mean, it's to popularize the Constitution. Let everyone know what kind of country the Great Song Dynasty is. And then the laws of the whole country must not violate the Constitution, does that mean? ”

"yes, that's what it means."

Zhao Yu asked: "However, how to popularize, do you want to paste the notice?" ”

"This is no problem, Wechen is going to start a newspaper."

"Newspapers?"

Ouyang nodded and said, "Yes!" It records what you say in the court, such as the regulations you specify, such as your political measures, and then formats them and distributes them throughout the country. For example, you said that Yangping County reduced taxes by 30%, but what should I do if I don't reduce and deceive you? At this time, the newspaper appeared, and when the people saw it, the emperor said that the tax would be reduced, and the county government would still accept it, and then I was finished. ”

"This is good, this is good." Zhao Yuxi said: "Being in a high position, the most afraid is that the order will not reach the throne, the emperor will say one thing, and the people below will do another, forget it, fatten them, and detain all the sins on the emperor." In a moment, you can go to the Royal Crafts Bureau and get a sample for me to see. You go on to say the Constitution. ”

"Yes!" Ouyang Dao: "Stipulating that our country is called Song, and stipulating that our country's territory is sacred and inviolable. ”

"Hah!" Zhao Yu smiled and asked, "Are people also bound by the constitution when they beat us?" ”

"No, the constitution was made in the service of other decrees. For example, once the Liao State invades, this will violate our Constitution. At this point, you can publish a three-level national ******. All the township soldiers, the box army, and the forbidden army entered a state of readiness. The grain of the government in various places was used as military food, and it was escorted by pumping. In the second-class ******, all civilian blacksmith shops stopped civilian use and turned to the production of military weapons and were drawn into the convoy. At the first level, ******, the whole country entered a state of war, and all young and strong men who had reached the age of 18 joined the army, and the county or township was used as a unit to transport the combat area, and all the women were supplied with logistics. Production was stopped throughout the country, and all the people were soldiers. ”
