"Who are you, what are you looking for me?"

Ye Li raised his head and saw a young man looking over.

"It seems that this should be an official. It's just that he's like this, why is he so slack? He doesn't have any energy at all. Seeing the face full of disgust in his eyes, Ye Li hurriedly lowered his body and said, "Minister Ye Li, please see the official family." ”

"Official?"

Zhao Hao chuckled, thinking about his current situation, he only felt ridiculous: "If you call it an official, it is really too modest." You're still—" But a gaze from the side made him stop.

"Your Majesty. You are a daughter, but don't slack off yourself. Do you understand?" warned Wang Ling.

Zhao Yu replied weakly: "I know." Ye Li stood by and watched, only feeling extremely awkward, even if Zhao Ling didn't have the momentum of the emperor, even that Wang Ling was a little domineering, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhao Yu also recovered a little bit of energy, raised his head to look at Ye Li, and asked, "By the way, I don't know why you came here all of a sudden, looking for me?"

"Your Majesty. ”

Ye Li saw Zhao Yu coming over, and immediately bowed down and said, "The minister came today to tell you something. ”

Zhao Hao asked disapprehantly, "Ha." What is it that is worthy of you coming in person?" It seemed that he was obviously not interested in what Ye Li said.

Ye Li sighed in his heart, feeling that he had made a mistake when he came this time, but when he thought of what was next, he still raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu solemnly, and said, "May I ask the official family, have you ever heard of the ancestral law?"

"Zulu, what is this?"

Zhao Yu shook his head with a confused expression, and Wang Ling was also confused, and asked, "Is this what you said?"

Ye Li closed his head and replied: "That's right. And according to what is written on this ancestral law, the situation of Your Majesty in the future is only very dangerous. After saying that, he took out a scroll from his sleeve, and then handed it to Zhao Yu, and said: "Because according to the provisions of this ancestral law, Your Majesty, your power is only afraid that there are only some things left to perform rituals such as rituals." ”

Zhao Yu took the scroll, looked at the contents on it, and just replied: "Oh!" But Wang Ling was furious, and shouted directly: "What a Xiao Feng, how dare you do such a rebellious thing? You want to completely abolish Your Highness's power in the world?"

Even though Zhao Yu didn't understand the key point, Wang Ling clearly understood.

If this ancestral law is completed, then the power of the Zhao and Song royal families will be completely hollowed out, and it will be difficult to meddle in the affairs of the court in the future, and as for the so-called appointment of hundreds of officials, it is almost a dream.

Who can endure such a treatment of a graphic seal?

"Exactly!"

Ye Li nodded and replied.

"So you're here just to tell me about this kind of thing?" Zhao Yu shook his head indifferently, as if he was not interested in these things.

Ye Li was slightly surprised, his eyes swept over Zhao Yu's face slightly, and he thought to himself: "I thought that when he heard this news, he should be furious, but I didn't expect it to be so bland?"

"Official!"

Although Zhao Yu remained as it was, Wang Ling felt that he couldn't help it, and hurriedly shouted: "Yichen thinks that this ancestral law can't be allowed to pass. Otherwise, our Song Dynasty would really be finished. ”

"Haha. Mr. Wang, I am aware of your concerns. It's just that in the current situation, do you think I have a chance?" Zhao Yu shook his head and replied: "I didn't know about this ancestral law until now, but you don't know about this, does my mother have any thoughts? She obviously doesn't want to give me a chance!"

For Xiao Feng, Zhao Yu didn't know whether to hate or love.

Hate, naturally because of her ruthlessness, since she came to Chang'an, she hasn't seen it a few times, as if there is no such son as him, although he is just an adopted child, even if he is made the emperor, he still has many constraints on him, making it difficult for him to exert his own ability.

But on the other hand, Zhao Yu faintly thanked Xiao Feng.

No matter what, Xiao Feng still saved his most cherished Xie Daoqing, and even protected many people, and those people were forced to endure abuse from the north because of his incompetent father.

All kinds of emotions were mixed together, which made Zhao Hao even more uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only watch all this coldly.

Wang Ling was also stunned, and immediately lowered his head.

After all this time, how did he not know Xiao Feng's plans, and he was obviously unwilling to let Zhao Feng interfere in political affairs, as for why Xiao Feng did this, it was also clearly written in the ancestral law.

Seeing that the two were silent, Ye Li sighed slightly, and then opened his mouth and said, "If you stop the ancestral law, it will naturally be impossible. But that doesn't mean that the official family has no chance. ”

"Oh, what chance?"

Wang Ling's eyes lit up and he looked at Ye Li.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, looking at Ye Li with repulsion, he always felt a little uncomfortable about the person in front of him, just because the other party was too deep-minded, and he didn't like this.

Ye Li didn't pay attention to Zhao Yu's reaction, but said to Wang Ling: "It's very simple. That's knighthood. ”

"Knighted?"

Wang Ling's eyes lit up slightly, and he was naturally a little excited, and asked, "Then tell me, what is the matter with this so-called knighthood?"

Ye Li replied: "That's right. According to the provisions of the ancestral law, the emperor could not meddle in the affairs of the prime minister's administration, let alone appoint, dismiss or dismiss any officials. But there is still a loophole in this, and that is knighthood. ”

"Knighted?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was also attracted over, and looked at Ye Li with some curiosity, wanting to know what the other party was having.

"That's right, knighthood. ”

Ye Li replied: "No matter how the King of Jin stops it, he can't cut off his subordinates' thoughts of glorifying their ancestors. Although there are so-called officials and parliamentarians to reassure those subordinates a little, these parliamentarians and officials are completely capable and cannot benefit their children and grandchildren. If they can't accomplish this, what is the use of earning supreme merit? It is precisely for this reason that those councillors will certainly not be able to refuse the idea of being knighted. Officials, parliamentarians, it's hard to pass on to their descendants, but titles are not, aren't they?"

In this medieval era, people have been influenced by Confucianism for thousands of years, and have long been accustomed to the habit of becoming an official and a knight, and they have not experienced all kinds of social, economic and even ideological impacts like later generations.

Therefore, Xiao Feng did not abolish the title system, but only banned the many privileges brought by the title.

"That's true. Wang Ling replied, and he was also impressed by Ye Li.

Ye Li said: "And this title cannot be canonized by the Prime Minister, only His Majesty." It is precisely for this reason that we might as well use this to intervene and cultivate the strength to be loyal to Your Majesty. At that time, when Xiao Feng is old and weak, he can naturally make a final decision and completely reverse the situation. ”

"What about Zu Lu?" Wang Ling was still a little worried.

Ye Li snorted lightly and said, "Ha." In this world, how can there be an immutable reason? At that time, after Your Majesty takes power, you can naturally revise the ancestral law, and how can those officials confront Your Majesty without Xiao Feng's support?"

"It's true. ”

Wang Ling was overjoyed, thinking that what Ye Li said was really possible.

Ye Li replied: "Of course, this matter still needs to be planned for a long time, and it is difficult to succeed easily. Therefore, I still need you to think about it and wait for the time to come. ”

"Please rest assured that although I am old, I am also loyal and will not divulge this matter. Wang Ling patted his chest and replied.

Ye Li felt a little relieved and replied, "If that's the case, then thank you very much." Thinking about the affairs of Jiangling Mansion, he was a little nervous, and said, "Also, I still have important matters to do, and I still need to return to Jiangling Mansion." Regarding the matter of the knighthood, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you. ”

Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Yu suddenly asked, "Tell me, what are you doing this for?"

"For what?" Ye Li was slightly surprised and glanced at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu never spoke before, which made him think that this Zhao Hao was nothing more than that, but looking at this performance, he was not as stupid as his father.

Zhao Yu said: "That's right. You have to have a reason to do things alone, don't you? In that case, you only approach me because I can help you accomplish something, don't you?"

Ye Li stopped, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "If I say that I just dislike that Xiao Feng and want to avenge my old friend, is it okay?" but he thought in his heart: "And that Xiao Feng's presumptuous judgment of Confucianism is even more slanderous against my science." If she is allowed to rule the world, how can my Confucianism spread to the world? Even for the sake of science, this person should also be taken down. ”

Others may not know, but Ye Li knows very well that Xiao Feng is thoughtful, and now he is just coming to target the emperor, and then he may point the finger at Confucianism.

If her policies are successful, then the entire Confucianism will be completely finished, and it will no longer be as brilliant as before, which is naturally unacceptable to Ye Li, who has always regarded himself as a Confucian scholar. This is also the reason why he came here and even supported Zhao Hao.

Not only because Zhao Yu is the emperor, but also because of Zhao Hao's current situation, he can only rely on himself, otherwise it will be completely finished.

"Absolutely. ”

Zhao Yu nodded, his eyes were still complicated, he didn't know what Ye Li was thinking in his heart.

However, out of the provocation of that person and the desire for power, Zhao Yu still let the two of them start to act to challenge the object that was almost impossible to challenge.

Perhaps, this is a declaration of war.

Zhao Hao thought in his heart, and he was even more reluctant to give in like this, letting the woman who was high up look down on herself.
