Chapter 66: Refuting the Emperor’s Order
At the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, Li Bangyan took a stack of documents and placed them in front of Li Gang. He smiled bitterly and said: "Since the Jin army retreated, the officials have really not rested. Take a look, there are so many things to do."

Li Gang took the document and flipped through it: "Leave it to the Ministry of Rites to confer the title of King of Bi. That is the title of King of Bi..."

Li Gang shook his head and smiled, and opened another document: "Should the officials ask Gao Qiu to handle the matter of reinforcing the outer city?"

"Well, in charge of the City Defense Department, these are all old ministers of the Supreme Emperor. I don't know what the officials think?"

Li Gang stroked his beard: "I have said before that the official family has the talents of the Tang Zong and the power of the Tang Zong. The Tang Zong can use other people's old ministers, why can't the official family use them? Besides, Gao Qiu has been Being good at civil engineering is considered a profession.”

Li Bangyan smiled bitterly and pointed to the document below: "Xiang Li, look at this again."

Li Gang opened it and took a look, his brows immediately furrowed: "Song Academy of Sciences?"

Li Bangyan has a very good ability to observe people's words. One look at Li Gang's expression and he knew that he had something to say: "Prime Minister Li, the official family has been opening a lot of offices recently. If we continue like this, we may not be far away from becoming official officials." .”

Li Gang understood the meaning of Li Bangyan's words.

It's okay to change Tsai's office into the Department of Integrity and Education, since it has little administrative power after all.

The Bank and Money Department is different. Many specific matters have overlapped with the Ministry of Household Affairs and even the Third Department. The division of powers and responsibilities is not very clear. Qin Hui is directly responsible to the officials. This has a kind of imperial power suppressing the power of the prime minister. It tastes good!
Nowadays, it is necessary to rename Qingshui yamen such as the Daoluyuan of the Capital to the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty. It is enough to change the name, but also to find another way to get an official position - the scientific officer.

Isn't this the same as the Supreme Emperor's previous Taoist official system? We can't make the same mistake again!
Li Gang frowned even more when he thought of this: "Leave this matter to Shizhong and refute it!"

The feudal system existed as early as the Han Dynasty, but it was mostly a decoration. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it really became effective. It was not until Zhao Kuangyin became emperor that the feudal system was truly implemented and lasted for nearly a hundred years.

The so-called refutation means that the prime minister has the right to directly withhold the emperor's imperial approval, or even the imperial edict, and return it intact. Even if the emperor secretly sends the imperial edict again, the receiving yamen below will see that there is no signature of the prime minister. , you can simply ignore it, and the imperial edict will become a piece of waste paper!
Zhao Kuangyin was the prime minister at that time and wanted to appoint Zhao Pu as prime minister, but the prime minister didn't sign, so Zhao Pu refused to take office. Zhao Kuangyin was speechless and could only ask the dismissed prime minister to stay in office for a while, and then get out after signing.

During the Renzong period, Song Renzong wanted to give his poor harem concubines a salary increase, but the imperial approval was directly returned. When receiving their salaries, the concubines felt aggrieved, and Song Renzong could only use his own private money to subsidize and coax them. The wives are happy.

Can you still feel so aggrieved when you are an emperor?
So in the Yuan Dynasty, the feudal and refutation system was in vain again. In the hands of Lao Zhu, it was even more cruel. Not to mention the feudal and refutation system, the prime ministers were ruined by you, the power of the prime minister was gone, and even the national laws were in vain. In addition to national laws, come up with a set of tricks...

If the Ming Dynasty could govern the country according to law and balance the imperial power, what would be the problem with pigtails?

Hearing that Li Gang was about to refute, Li Bangyan was happy. He picked up the document and left, handing it to Shizhong to refute directly, and then...

Of course it depends on the official's reaction. If the official is angry, he can just be a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Li Gang won't sign, right? Then I, Li Bangyan, will share the worries of the official, and I will sign it; if the official is not angry, , and also praised Li Gang for his strict enforcement of the law, so I, Li Bangyan, also made a contribution. The matter of refutation was discussed by me, Li Bangyan, and Li Gang.

What is a fence-sitter?
This is called a fence-sitter!

Zhao Fujin felt angry and a little happy when he got the rejected imperial approval.

What makes me angry is that advancing technology is an imperative and cannot be discussed!
Happily, the set of checks and balances of power that Boss Zhao had designed at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China has finally started to work again!

You must know that after Emperor Daojun ascended the throne, until now, in the past few decades, this is the first imperial order that has been denied.

It's not easy!

Seeing that Zhao Fujin was angry and happy at the same time, Li Bangyan was trapped. What the fence-sitters feared most was that there was no wind and they could only stand there and wait for Zhao Fujin to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Fujin finally spoke: "Go back and tell Li Gang to go to the Department of Integrity Education and study hard!" Upon hearing this, Li Bangyan felt that Zhao Fujin's attitude was understood, although he did not pick up the kerosene whip like whipping him. The beating was as intense as fifty lashes, but if Li Gang was asked to go study, what does that mean?
It means that the official family is not happy!

Li Bangyan said with a smile: "If the officials feel that the Song Academy of Sciences is an important matter, and Prime Minister Li refuses to sign, then let me, Li Bangyan, come to share the worries of the officials, and I will sign!"

As the same Prime Minister, Li Bangyan's signature was barely useful.

Who would have thought that Zhao Fujin snorted coldly: "There are no rules! Let's go to the Department of Integrity Education to study with Li Gang!"

Li Bangyan once again felt that he was so damn stupid!

The Department of Integrity and Education now has one more person, Tong Guan, the former envoy to the Privy Council.

What Tong Guan mainly explained was his glorious deeds of nepotism in the army, snatching away credit and dumping blame, from Shaanxi General Liu Fingfa being played by him until the entire army was annihilated, to Han Shizhong's outstanding military achievements, which he suppressed and refused to report. Then he spent huge sums of money to buy several empty cities in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun in exchange for the capital to become the king. Tong Guan talked about it with great emotion, while Li Bangyan listened drowsily: "Ms. Tong, these things are not worth mentioning." The Prime Minister already knows, can you tell me something else?"

Tong Guan stretched out his hand forward: "Silver!"

Li Bangyan lamented that the top dignitaries of the Song Dynasty were now like buskers in the tiles. It was really embarrassing: "Fifty Guan!"

Li Bangyan threw out a banknote!
"What does Mr. Li want to hear?"

Li Bangyan thought for a moment: "Mr. Tong, I have always been curious, have you been clean? Take a look at your beard... is it fake?"

……

……

In the hall of the third courtyard, Li Gang seemed to have a sudden realization. The purpose of the officials to keep these people alive was to establish the Department of Integrity and Education!
If these thieves were killed directly, the evil they had done would be summarized by historians in a few words, and then simply summarized by later generations. It would be nothing more than broad and empty rhetoric such as selling their official positions and gaining titles, forming cliques for personal gains, etc. But the evil they really did , but few people know it.

Therefore, Cai Jing and his like can always borrow corpses to bring back souls, and they appear in endlessly!
Cai Jing's evil, only he himself knows best, where the evil lies!

Cai Jing's real evil lies first in his flattery. Cai Jing will applaud all the reasonable and unreasonable behaviors of Emperor Daojun. Cai Jing will approve and never refute all the decisions made by Emperor Daojun that are confusing or not.Even if there are wise ministers in the court who stand up to criticize, Cai Jing will deal with these people on behalf of Emperor Daojun.

So it took decades to deal with the person who asked the question, and the Song Dynasty Hall became the hall where the Taojun and Emperor spoke.

I want a stone, do it!Hua Shi Gang starts walking!

I like strange things, do it!Let’s get started!

I love my teacher, do it!Have fun with prostitutes in private!
I don’t have any money to spend, so do it!Go and rob Xicheng!

I want to unite with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty and become an emperor through the ages. Let’s do it!All national transportation is secured!

How can such a "virtuous prime minister" not be lovable?
Even if he is defeated twice, Daojun and Emperor will not be like that!
When Zhao Da and Zhao Er came to Renzong and Shenzong, they didn't know if they would be envious or jealous.
