Looking at the two local officials who prostrated themselves in front of them, his cold eyes were like sharp arrows, which could almost pierce their hearts: "Do you realize your mistake now? Do you apologize? What have you been doing in the past half year?"
After saying one sentence, the boulder in the hearts of the two of them hung higher. Even Dou Yi, who had always been upright and fearless, had a look of fear on his face. It was not fear, but shame. In the past, he always spoke uprightly because he was reasonable. , but this time, it is untenable.
"Don't you two know how important Hebei is and how important Daming Prefecture is? The imperial court has entrusted you with important positions. You can work together with one heart and one mind, fulfill your duties faithfully, and benefit your hometown. What will be the result?
Invite friends to join the party, criticize each other, and the disputes between the Tao and the government are aggravated. In governing the government and controlling the people, they do not think about fulfilling their duties, but they strive for power and gain, but they spare no effort."

Liu Chengyou's tone was surprisingly stern, and he stared at Li Huan: "I know that you have been in charge of Daming Mansion for several years and have made outstanding achievements. You are proud of it and are arrogant about your achievements. The Chief Secretary is a government official of the same level, and the Chief Envoy is personally appointed by me. "Official official, you are disrespectful and offensive, do you want to challenge the authority of the imperial court?"
"I never meant this! You absolutely wouldn't dare!" Li Huan fell to the ground, and he was an old man in his late fifties. There was a sense of grievance in his tone.
Ignoring him, Liu Chengyou looked at Dou Yi again, not polite at all, and rebuked: "I have also experienced your Dou Yi's temper. When you were in Tokyo, you offended me many times. I want you to be loyal and upright, and I have also experienced it." Be more tolerant. And use your talents to appoint local officials. However, you can imagine how arrogant you are when you are an official in the local area!
Aren't you an upright and upright person who is loyal to the public and the country? Why don't you know the importance of the matter? You don't distinguish between public and private affairs. Is it clear?"
"I don't understand the general situation, ignore the overall situation, and neglect affairs with personal grudges. The crime is unpardonable and irrefutable. Please punish me!" Dou Yi's face changed for a while, and she apologized again.
In fact, Liu Chengyou's reprimand was also biased. It would not be wrong to say that the two of them had completely given up their general affairs because of the political struggle. However, the contradictions, criticisms and even mutual dissatisfaction between the two were really noisy. It's a little too much, and the impact on the local area is too bad.
Moreover, more than a month after it was confirmed that Yu Jia would patrol the north, the relationship between the two had eased a lot and the conflicts had subsided. However, the impact of what had happened on Liu Chengyou's heart could not be easily eliminated. of.
After scolding him, Liu Chengyou sneered twice and asked: "Looking at you, I'm afraid I'm not convinced, and I might even feel aggrieved! I think the Taoist government is peaceful, but I think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill!"
"I don't dare!"
"I don't dare!"
"Okay! I always like to listen to low-level information. Since you are all vying to plead guilty, then I will listen to you. How do you think you should be punished?" Looking at the performance of the two, Liu Chengyou suddenly relaxed and asked calmly. road.
"I ask you to be dismissed from office and reduce your position to serve the people!" Dou Yi gritted her teeth and said.
"The same goes for me!" Li Huan also said.
The palace slowly became quiet, and Liu Chengyou's eyes wandered around the two ministers again. The room was still a little cold in late mid-spring. After a long silence, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "You two, the ground is wet and cold, you are not even old. You're young, don't hurt your knees by kneeling, get up!"
After the harsh words, there were some gentle words, which surprised Dou and Li Erchen, and they hurriedly responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou sighed: "I've been walking all the way and I'm a little tired. You guys should step back first!"
"Yes!" They were all a little stunned and stepped back respectfully.
After the two ministers had retreated, Liu Chengyou put away all his emotions and became calm. The rage he had shown towards Dou and Li just now was more like a manifestation of power, just to frighten and beat the two of them. On the surface, the anger was raging. In fact, my heart is calm.
In fact, the dispute between Dou and Li was not a big problem for the court and Liu Chengyou. Although the conflict between the two was fierce, it was not as serious as Liu Chengyou said.
Even to a certain extent, they are willing to see conflicts and mutual restraint between Taoist and Taoist governments, as long as they are within the controllable range. After all, although the Chief Envoy Office was established only a few years ago, its chief executive A civil government affairs department controls the state governments at the lower level, and directly communicates with the imperial court at the upper level. The power is staggering.
It's just that due to the current development situation of the country, all the Taoist officials need a senior official to coordinate political affairs, and they also need the authority of the Chief Secretary. When the world is unified and Yunei returns to peace, Liu Chengyou will also start to reduce the powers of the Chief Secretary. , he already had an idea in his mind.
On the other hand, Liu Chengyou also knew in his heart that the fight between Dou Yi and Li Huan was rooted in the two prime ministers Li and Fan in the court. In recent years, Prime Minister Li Tao's power has become more and more powerful, and when people are proud, they will inevitably become rampant.
There were many officials promoted by Li Tao, both in the government and outside Tokyo, especially since he was also in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. The selection and promotion of many officials were within his scope of authority.
Naturally, Fan Zhi couldn't bear to see Li Tao's unintentional power-gathering behavior. Therefore, as time went by, the two people who could have been allies gradually became estranged until they parted ways.
On many recent affairs, the two have many similarities and some differences. Fan Zhi has also become an important chess piece to balance Li Tao in the political affairs hall. In the previous integration of the Taoist Department, many officials were selected by Li Tao Quan. All were opposed by Fan Zhi, and the Chief Envoy of Hebei West Road was a typical example.
Li Huan is the younger brother of Li Tao, and he should have avoided suspicion. However, before the election, Liu Chengyou had issued an edict to let ministers recommend talents without avoiding relatives and enemies. Although he added a "sit down to promote the leader", it can be regarded as Liu Chengyou's employment attitude. .The position of a middle- and lower-level official may not be a problem, but a chief executive should obviously have some reservations, and Li Tao obviously took the emperor's words too seriously and really recommended his younger brother.
As a result, under Liu Chengyou's arbitration, Dou Yi picked the peach.
Thinking about it, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but lament that in the one or two years after Feng Daogang retired, Li Tao and Fan Zhi were considered comrades, and they shared many opinions on government and state affairs.
In fact, Li Tao also has to thank Fan Zhi for his confrontation, otherwise, based on Li Tao's performance in taking power in the past two years, Liu Chengyou would probably destroy him. It is undeniable that Li Tao is a good handler in politics, handles things very appropriately, and is also supportive. Two generations of emperors have been in power for ten years, and they have made a lot of achievements and hard work. However, when the emperor's dissatisfaction and fear are caused, abilities, achievements, etc. are all in vain and will be selectively forgotten.
A smile slowly spread at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned to the south. Liu Chengyou was suddenly curious. What would it be like in the court without him in Tokyo?
After coming back to his senses, Liu Chengyou began to think again. There was always a need to find a way to deal with Dou Yi and Li Huan. However, Liu Chengyou still had not decided how to deal with them and under what name.
Dou Yi and Li Huan left the palace. After leaving the palace, they looked at each other and dispersed without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the office?" the servant asked respectfully, leading the carriage and horse.
"No, go back home!" Dou Yi thought for a while, with a cold face.
"Go back home?" The servant was a little surprised and looked at the sky. It was bright and clear in spring.
"Go back to your home and await your punishment!" Dou Yi said lightly.
After waiting to get into the car, put down the curtain seats, and be alone, Dou Yi sighed deeply and smiled bitterly. She felt in her heart that this time, she might not be able to get through it easily. A touch of bitterness stuck in her heart. When he made Yan Zhijian in Tokyo and made the emperor dissatisfied, he was not as worried about gains and losses as he is today.
From Dou Yi's own heart, he does not think that he has made any serious mistakes. At most, he is discordant with his colleagues and brought the conflict to Tokyo. If he is accused of taking power and neglecting politics, he is really unconvinced. Since he took office, he has worked conscientiously , never slack off.
He is also the chief envoy. Looking at Wang Pu's power in Huaidong, the Yangzhou magistrate dares to confront him like Li Huan? His methods are nothing compared to Wang Pu's style. In view of this, Dou Yi's mood is a mixture of five flavors...
