Chapter 89 Persuasion
Recently, the forces opposing the reform have begun to exert their strength. These days, the court is full of voices of debate, and the chaos is in full swing.

Yao Yi hid sideways behind the pillars of the main hall, and couldn't help but secretly yawned.Yao Yi has been tired of watching this lively scene for the past two days, and is really not interested.

"Young Supervisor Yao, what do you think about this matter?" Han Zhang said loudly, looking for Yao Yi in the hall.

What do I think?You ask me why, ask Yuan Fang.Yao Yi complained.

The old man obviously didn't want Yao Yi to be comfortable, so he pulled Yao Yi out to share the pressure, what an old fox.

Yao Yi reluctantly came out from behind the pillar, saluted and said:

"I feel that all the adults are thinking about the great Song Dynasty, out of sincerity. I don't have the qualifications, I really don't know how to dare to do this."

Yao Yi was in a daze the whole time, who knew what they were talking about, what could they say?
"Lord Yao, I heard that you made great efforts when the new law was formulated. You didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth at the time, so now you know that you are not prudent enough?" One of the officials stood up.

Yao Yi sized him up, he didn't recognize him, the official robe was purple, and he was older than himself.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty just expressed his thoughts at that time for His Majesty and the two gentlemen to make decisions. Why do you think His Majesty and the two gentlemen are not stable enough?"

The face of the purple-robed official froze, saying that the official family and the two gentlemen were not stable enough?I still know the seriousness, so I only dare to say this secretly.

"Don't mess around, this ancestral law cannot be easily changed." The purple-robed official said with a flick of his sleeve.

Well, it’s the method of the ancestors again, an indispensable stalk in historical novels, it seems that every time traveler has to be attacked by the method of the ancestors.

In fact, if Yao Yi followed Wang Anshi's example at this time and yelled, "We are not afraid of changes in the sky, our ancestors are not up to the law, and people's words are not enough to be sympathetic." Then he would be handsome.But this is not something Yao Yi can learn now. Wang Anshi's reputation was full when he was talking, so no one scolded him.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Cao is quite sensitive now, so these words will definitely arouse her vigilance.

Yao Yi didn't dare to say such arrogant words, but it was okay to say it tactfully.

"My lord, things in this world are changeable, the sea is changing, and there is one thing that remains the same in this world? The military township system of the previous dynasty made Tang Junyu invincible, but in the end it ruined the Tang Dynasty. And I went to Taizu to reform the military township. System, this is how the Great Song Dynasty is today, does this lord think that it was wrong for Taizu to dare to reform?"

The purple-robed official blushed, but was speechless, his fighting power was surprisingly weak.

In fact, it's no wonder, this is a son of the clan, not a civil servant, where have I seen the ability of a literati to put on a hat.

"Okay, now it's just a trial of the new law in Yuzhou, it's not worthwhile for the ministers to argue about it, so let's not mention it for now." Zhao Zongquan tried to smooth things over.

After the court, Yao Yi was called over by Empress Dowager Cao again.Qi Heng is also there, presumably the queen mother has made a decision.

Yao Yi saluted and said hello, but Empress Dowager Cao didn't say anything, obviously still a little unhappy.

Yao Yi turned towards Qi Heng, Qi Heng looked forward and nodded slightly, there should be a turning point.

"I've looked at the things Master Xiao Qi brought." Empress Dowager Cao finally said.

Yao Yi asked Qi Heng to bring to Empress Dowager Cao the information about officials that had popped up in the past few days, which contained details about these people.

"My aunt clearly understands whether these officials are for the great Song Dynasty or for their own money, I think my aunt is also clear." Yao Yi said.

Empress Dowager Cao was silent for a while, then said:
"The Ai family can't just think that all the court officials have bad conscience just because of some moths?"

"Ma'am, I can assure you that if these officials find out that they are innocent, the officials will never punish them." Yao Yi saluted.

"Punishment? What punishment?" Qi Heng obviously didn't expect this matter to be so simple.

Empress Dowager Cao and Yao Yi ignored him.

Yao Yi suddenly said:

"Ma'am, do you know that the official family has just issued an order in the court hall that the princess of the Qi Kingdom enters the princess of the Yue Kingdom and separates with Li Wei, the captain-in-law." After Renzong's death, the princess was tortured to death by her husband's family. It is said that the quilt she covered before her death was covered with lice.

Empress Dowager Cao's complexion changed drastically, why?Originally, Renzong felt sorry for his daughter and asked her to separate from his son-in-law.But later Renzong worried that no one would take care of his daughter after his death, so he asked them to remarry.This Li Wei had tossed him a lot because Renzong hated him for not treating his daughter well. After remarrying, Li Wei was cold and violent to the princess, and after Renzong passed away, he began to abuse her.

Both Yingzong and Shenzong ignored her, and finally caused the princess to die of aggrievedness.

"How can we let them get together?" Empress Dowager Cao said.

"Don't the queen mother know that the captain-in-law has long been resentful towards the princess? After the emperor passed away, the Li family transferred all the people around the princess and began to abuse the princess. After the officials knew it, they couldn't bear it, so they issued an order Let them unite and separate." Yao Yi explained.

In fact, Zhao Zongquan didn't know about this matter, Yao Yi said it, and suggested that Zhao Zongquan use this to show his favor to the Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao was furious. She knew about the eldest princess and her son-in-law, but she never thought that the Li family would dare to treat the eldest princess like this.Although the Eldest Princess is not her own, she is indeed the flesh and blood of the former emperor, how could she suffer such humiliation.

"Ma'am, the government also decreed that Li Wei should be demoted to Chenzhou."

In fact, in good conscience, Li Wei is also considered unlucky, the eldest princess was quite arrogant before.But it's really too much for him to torture a woman like this, and he doesn't deserve sympathy.

Empress Dowager Cao took a few deep breaths to calm down her anger, and said:
"This time it's the official's intentions."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to say that the reason why the Li family treats the eldest princess is because the former emperor had no children. Today's official family was raised by the former emperor when they were young, so they treat the eldest princess with all their heart." Yao Yi saluted road.

Yao Yiqian meant that Zhao Zongquan had been raised in the palace, so he had some feelings.If it is a child of another clan, I am afraid it will be even less emotional. You might as well keep Zhao Zongquan if you support others to rise to the top.

"Bold, Lord Yao, you say these outrageous things, but you want to threaten your empress?" Qi Heng shouted.

Empress Dowager Cao waved her hand to stop Qi Heng. She looked at Yao Yi for a long time, and finally sighed:
"The Ai family knows, but there is still Lord Xiao Qi in the court. If you arrest any official who is dedicated to the country, the Ai family will come forward."

That's all, Yao Yi was relieved when he saw that the matter had settled down.

"Empress Dowager Xie, I hereby guarantee that if the officials insist on going their own way, I will be the first one to be demoted." Yao Yi said solemnly.Speaking of it, I have to thank Da Guangqiu for choosing the character design, otherwise it would not be so easy for people to believe him.

Then Yao Yi was kicked out by Empress Dowager Cao, leaving only Qi Heng alone, presumably he wanted to take the opportunity to tell Qi Heng the whole story.
