The Son of Heaven felt the threat of Li Yi, why not the ministers and officials?

Although Li Yi cautiously shrank his head and gave up the so-called authority, in fact, he did not give up a single cent of authority at all. On the contrary, he held his authority firmer. The hussar general now relies on the power in his hands, and he can completely turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, who can help him?

The Son of Heaven did not care about life or death, and first attacked the hussar general, and of course the ministers and officials should be duty-bound and add fuel to the fire. If the hussar general took another step and gave up some of Jiuqing's positions to quell the turmoil of seizing power provoked by the Son of Heaven, the power of the scholars would be even greater.

"If you think so, you're wrong." Zhang Wen sighed, "The hussar general is a famous general of the Han generation, and how many people have fallen at his feet over the years are not only due to his strong force, but also his clever mind. ”

"Whether we are fighting in a war or living in a temple, our hussar general has used the way of reality in this art of war to perfection. Although he took a big step back this time and gave up most of his authority, you found that no, the initiative in the court today has actually been easily taken by him. The part of the authority he gave up is now in the hands of the people of Northern Xinjiang and in the hands of his subordinates. This is where he and Dong Zhuo are completely different. ”

"To put it nicely, this is called the samurai and the scholars to manage the government together. To put it mildly, this is Li Yi's monopoly on power. At this moment, he is like a tiger in the deep mountains, quietly hiding in the dense shade of trees, patiently waiting for his prey to appear, and then kill with one blow. ”

Yang Biao's eyes showed a look of panic and asked, "Who is the prey?" Is it us, or is it the Son of Heaven? Or...... Is it Dahan Sheji? ”

Zhang Wen shook his head and said, "He is hiding in the depths of the woods, and we don't know anything. ”

"What are we going to do about today?" Ma Riyan asked.

"Silence." Zhang Wen said, "If the hussar general doesn't move, we won't move." If we don't move, the hussar general will move. As soon as the hussar general moves, we know who the prey is. ”

The Minister remained silent.

………………

The eldest princess's tears flowed non-stop.

Li Yi looked at her left and right, then laughed and said, "Your Highness, don't cry, you have grown up, don't cry like this anymore." The Son of Heaven knows, maybe he will misunderstand the minister. ”

"Didn't the Son of Heaven misunderstand you?" The eldest princess sobbed, "He was corrupted by the rebels in Chang'an, and he couldn't see anything in his eyes except authority. ”

Li Yi's face stiffened, and he didn't know what to say.

The eldest princess said angrily: "If there are no people, no army, where will the country come from?" Where did the society come from? Where does the authority come from? I don't think he can even eat. If this continues, he will completely bury the big man. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, Your Majesty is still young, and when he grows up in the future, things will change." Li Yi comforted.

"When he grows up, where is there still a big Han Sheji? I'm afraid it has already become a rebellious world. The eldest princess wiped a handful of tears and said in despair.

Li Yi said: "Your Highness is Your Majesty's sister, you should help him." ”

"If I help him, he'll die." The eldest princess laughed miserably, "I really don't know what to do. I went to a few ministers, but they didn't dare to speak. I know their difficulty, here is either the Son of Heaven or the Hussar General, where is their turn to speak. ”

The more the eldest princess thought about it, the more sad she became, and tears rolled down again.

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, picked up the white silk silk that the eldest princess put on the desk, slowly squatted beside her, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said softly: "Okay, I'll figure it out, don't cry." ”

The eldest princess blushed, ashamed and happy, grabbed Li Yi's big hand, and asked, "Are you...... Is there a way? ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness, you just said that if you help Your Majesty, Your Majesty will die." What do you mean by that? You suspect ......"

The tears in the eldest princess's eyes suddenly rolled out again, and she said, "I'm worried that I can't help it...... I'm going to be ......."

Li Yi was shocked, shook the eldest princess's hand with his backhand, and said, "The minister knows that you have been in Northern Xinjiang for a long time, and you are worried about the safety of Sheji, but you must not be in a hurry. ZTE's great cause is not an overnight thing, it takes time. ”

"Zhang Wen and Ma Riyan are old, and they are worried that they will not see the day when the society will be prosperous, so many restructuring policies are inevitably a little impatient. Because of their impatience, when they teach His Highness the art of governing the country, many of their words may not be correct. Li Yi suddenly realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly let go of the eldest princess's hand, "Your Highness, you must distinguish clearly, don't be impulsive and make a big mistake." ”

The eldest princess blushed, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

………………

"The status quo between China and the Outer Dynasties will be maintained, and the eldest princess will temporarily supervise some of the prime ministers......" Ma Riyan's eyes widened and exclaimed in disbelief, "Hussar General, whose idea is this?" Which part of the power does the eldest princess oversee? ”

"It's the part of the power that the Son of Heaven is unwilling to give us back." Li Yi looked at Ma Riyan, Zhang Wen and Yang Biao, and said calmly, "This is my idea." Of course, if you have a better idea than that, I'd listen to you. ”

"Hussar General, what do you mean by that? You participated in the revision of the official system, why did you take the lead in repenting? Zhang Wen said angrily.

"I have no regrets, and I still support the implementation of the new bureaucratic system." Li Yi said, "It is the Son of Heaven who regrets it now." He is the Son of Heaven, we are courtiers, we must retreat, we must maintain the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and let the Son of Heaven achieve his goals with dignity. This is the only way to do it at the moment. Allowing the eldest princess to oversee some of the power of the prime minister allowed the new bureaucracy to continue to be implemented and consolidated, while at the same time effectively limiting the imperial power, and most importantly, it could satisfy the wishes of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Hussar general, the eldest princess is the sister of the Son of Heaven." Yang Biao smiled bitterly, "Your method is tantamount to admitting the failure of the new official system in disguise." ”

The eldest princess has been involved in the revision and implementation of the new official system, and she strongly advocates that the imperial power and the relative power should be checked and balanced by each other, believing that this is the foundation of Zhongxing Sheji. Therefore, I think we should trust her and believe that she will definitely return this part of the power to the foreign dynasty after six years. Li Yi pointed at Ma Riyan and Zhang Wen and said, "The two of you have been with the eldest princess for several years, and you don't trust the eldest princess?" ”

Ma Riyan and Zhang Wen looked at each other. They never imagined that Li Yi would cultivate a fourth force in addition to the Son of Heaven, the Chinese Dynasty and the Foreign Dynasties. The checks and balances of power in the court suddenly changed from tripartite checks and balances to four-party checks and balances. The hussar general shook a false shot, and immediately pushed the spearhead stretched out by the Son of Heaven to the eldest princess and the ministers of the foreign court with ease.

"Hussar general, the consequences of this strategy are unpredictable, too dangerous, and unusable." Yang Biao dissuaded, "Six years later, will the Son of Heaven agree with the eldest princess to return part of the power to the foreign court?" In addition, once the eldest princess becomes more powerful, she may not return this part of the power as promised. ”

"Whether the foreign dynasty can get back all the power, the key is not the Son of Heaven, nor the eldest princess, but whether we can complete the great cause of Zhongxing." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "The world is uncertain, the society is unstable, not to mention the relative power, even the imperial power is gone." ”

The three lords were speechless.

In mid-November, Taifu Ma Riyan, the great Sima general Li Yi, the great Situ Zhang Wen, and the great Sikong Zhou Zhong jointly signed a joint petition and asked for their resignation from the "Liaison Shangshu Affairs". Considering that the Son of Heaven was young and did not know much about political affairs, the four princes proposed that the eldest princess should be the secretary of Shangshu.

The next day, the Son of Heaven summoned the four princes and tried their best to keep them. The four lords resolutely resigned. The Son of Heaven granted.

On the third day, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to worship the eldest princess to lead the affairs of the book and assist him in handling state affairs.

………………

In late November, the first heavy snow of the winter arrived.

Youzhou Thorn Shi Xun Chen, Guangyang County Taishou Zhuge Xuan, and Jicheng ordered Bao Zheng to rush to the Son of Heaven's camp to meet the Son of Heaven. The three of them played the Son of Heaven, because this winter came too early, it is difficult for the temporary palace in Jicheng to be completed before the end of the year, and I implore the Son of Heaven to give grace.

The Son of Heaven frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Without the palace, I will celebrate the New Year in the ice and snow." ”

Shangshu Feng Shuo saw that the Son of Heaven was very unhappy, and hurriedly said to the three ministers: "The New Year is coming soon, this matter is not negotiable, immediately recruit more people, levy more labor, and rush to work day and night, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”

Everyone knows what will happen if you disobey the holy decree. The three of them looked sad and discussed in a whisper.

Bao Zheng said: "Shall we go to the lord to talk?" Only he can save us at this time. ”

Xun Chen said hesitantly: "Let the lord come forward, the Son of Heaven will not dare not agree, but the Son of Heaven must be very disgusted, this is not good for the lord." If something big happens because of this little thing, we will be guilty. ”

Zhuge Xuan said: "Mr. Bing Yuan is now a minister, in charge of the construction of palaces, temples, mausoleums, etc., he has won the trust of the lord, if he is invited to intercede, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

Xun Chen, Zhuge Xuan and Bao Zheng did not obey the will of the Son of Heaven and immediately went out of the camp to return to Jicheng, but quietly ran to Bingyuan's house.

Bing Yuan didn't wait for Xun Chen to finish talking about the whole thing, and scolded the three of them with a scolding face: "You can't do such a trivial thing well, you deserve to die." ”

But scolding is scolding, people still have to be saved. Xun Chen is the cousin of the lord, Zhuge Xuan and Bao Zheng are both the henchmen of the lord, and they can't be saved if they don't save them.

In the end, Bing Yuan said to them, "Go to the eldest princess, she can solve this matter." ”

"Eldest princess?" Bao Zheng smiled bitterly, "She is the sister of the Son of Heaven, how can she help us?" ”

"She'll definitely help." Bing Yuan smiled, "If the three of you make the situation more serious, the eldest princess will definitely not be able to sit still." ”

Then he told the eldest princess about the affairs of the eldean and the chief scholar.

"Why did the lord do this? What's in it for him? Zhuge Xuan asked suspiciously, "If the eldest princess stands on the side of the Son of Heaven, then we will be in big trouble in Hebei." ”

"How can you let the eldest princess stand on the side of the Son of Heaven?" Bing Yuan sneered, "If the lord wants to take back all his power in peace and stability, he must make the eldest princess deeply feel the harm of excessive imperial power to the society, such as today's incident."
