In addition to the offending Xiao Wuyi by Li Yifu, in Han Yi's eyes, Li Yifu has never been his enemy. Han Yi even believes that Li Yifu has established himself as his enemy, which is an insult to him. If it is in line with his own interests, Han Yi will definitely be willing to cooperate with Li Yifu, including Xu Jingzong. As long as he does not hurt his family, everything will be easy to say, after all, his policies are the most important.

The reason why Han Yi asked for help from Li Yifu was because of the official prostitute, which almost harmed the interests of every official. One more official needs the support of the minister, which means less resistance. Although Li Yifu has no lower limit, it is undeniable that he has established a considerable force in the court in the past two years. And if he does not use Li Yifu, then Li Yifu will definitely drag him down. After all, Li Yifu is better than this person.

One goes up and the other goes down, it is a fool if you don’t use it.

Besides, Li Yifu has done so many unethical things, so it is time for him to pay back some debts.

As for Du Zhenglun, Xu Jingzong, Han Yi did not go to find them. Du Zhenglun was because Du Zhenglun had not agreed to seek his support and deal with Li Yi's mansion. This time Du Zhenglun would definitely not agree, let alone Xu Jingzong. He is the leader of an official prostitute. This old man is also a genius and obsessed with this mouth. He will definitely not agree. You not only hurt his power, but also his faith.

However, it was enough for Han Yi to get the support of most of the ministers. After convincing these ministers, Han Yi immediately submitted a memorial to the emperor.

After seeing that Li Zhi had just one day, Han Yi submitted the memorial and was stunned. Your efficiency was too fast.

But Han Yi was sure of this, so he would give him a favor. Moreover, he was sick and the ministers in the court knew that they had not shown up for too long, so the ministers would also think about it. It was time to show up. Therefore, the next day, Li Zhi held a court meeting.

"The Ci'en Temple case a few days ago caused a lot of controversy in the court. I should have come forward to deal with it myself, but it happened that I was a little uncomfortable and for many reasons, I handed it over to the queen for handling. However, what makes me happy is that the queen not only handled it very well, but also saw the problem that I and my beloved ministers had never seen. The queen said something that made me remember it vividly, that is, the law is not only used for punishment, but for deterrence and preventing the occurrence of crimes. Therefore, even the fair judgment is only second, and the most important thing is how to prevent such cases from happening. Therefore, the queen asked several ministers to think about it and find ways to prevent such cases from happening."

Because the queen is very sensitive after all, Li Zhi took the lead in explaining this, and then said: "And yesterday, the Minister of Revenue submitted a memorial to this case, which made me feel a little worried. Therefore, he ordered someone to copy dozens of this memorial. You all look at it, and I want to hear your opinions on this. Come!"

Zhang Desheng understood the memorial and immediately asked someone to distribute the memorial to the ministers in the hall.

Most of the ministers in the hall were confused. Why did there be a follow-up? Haven’t they all been tried? When they opened the memorial, they immediately became dumbfounded. Damn! Cut down official prostitutes, this is really miserable.

"Your Majesty, these two things are incompatible, how can we confuse them?"

A civil servant jumped out and said excitedly.

Qi Bi He Li and other generals also glared at each other, just as they were about to jump out.

"His Majesty!"

A thick voice made Qi Bi He Li and the others tremble. Li Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks Han Shangshu is very reasonable. The imperial court spends a lot of money on official prostitutes every year. However, there are many orphans of the soldiers in our Tang Dynasty who cannot eat enough and wear warm clothes. If this continues, it will be a cold heart for the soldiers. The old minister thinks that it is better to spend money on official prostitutes than to spend money on the soldiers."

The generals like Qi Bi He Li were stunned for a moment, and they shrank back their words. The boss said, and said that they would use the money in the military. If you want to object, who will the soldiers below will submit to you? The military officer immediately became very quiet.

Xu Jingzong's anger immediately became angry. Although the official prostitute belonged to Taichang Temple, the system of the three provinces and six ministries has gradually replaced the nine ministers and five temples. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the government orders and the Taichang Temple is responsible for the implementation. There is a very obvious relationship between superiors and subordinates. As soon as Xu Jingzong took office, he strengthened the Ministry of Rites' control over official prostitutes. This is his interest, and he doesn't care about so much. He said, "Sikong, there are also camp prostitutes in this military camp!"

Li Ji said: "Battle prostitutes are usually women captured by soldiers in war, and the cost is not much. The cost of an official prostitute is enough to hand over twenty or thirty camp prostitutes. Besides, there is no way for camp prostitutes to do so. The soldiers are fighting outside all year round and are not allowed to reunite with their wives. If they are not worthy of camp prostitutes, they will be afraid of harassing the people. And officials are at home every day, what will happen if they don't have official prostitutes?"

This time he supported Han Yi extremely firmly, and anyone would do this, because Han Yi gave him a lot of rewards.

"I agree!"

Wei Siqian suddenly stood up and said, "I have just counted the cases accumulated in the Censorate over the years and found that many of them were caused by official prostitutes. At the beginning of the Yonghui year, the governor of Hongzhou Zhou Furui should have made contributions to governing Hongzhou and was transferred back to Chang'an. However, because he was obsessed with an official prostitute and wanted to bring the official prostitute back to Chang'an, but the successor Xie Changda refused to agree, so the two fought, which eventually led to Xie Changda's lifelong disability, and Zhou Furui was also dismissed from office and investigated. Their bright future was ruined. There were countless cases like this. The duties of the official prostitute to entertain, but many officials were obsessed with their physical joy, and they did not return home for many years and neglected their wives, which led to family disagreements and often abolished the public for personal gain, which was actually a hundred harms and no benefits."

Lu Chengqing kept observing and found that Han Yi did not lie to him. The military and the Censorate agreed to support him. So he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that the memorial of Shangshu Han is very correct. Although this official prostitute is indispensable, it is also not many. Nowadays, there are more and more official prostitutes, as many as thousands, causing officials to linger in wine and sex, which will destroy the will of officials. This is a major hidden danger for the country and the court should stop it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Xu stood up and made a long speech.

The other officials couldn't even get in touch.

When Master Xu finished speaking, everyone was about to finish speaking, and was about to speak, Li Yifu suddenly stood up and choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, I think it's too late for Secretary Han to do this memorial!"

Han Yi quickly bit his lip, otherwise he would have to laugh out loud.

Xu Jingzong was shocked. Why did Li Yifu and Han Yi stand aside? Or was he leaning against retreating?

Li Zhi didn't know that Han Yi had convinced Li Yi's mansion. Han Yi played some magic, and wondered, "What do you mean by my dear?"

Li Yifu wiped his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, isn't the child committed such a serious crime because of a singing girl? If the court had set an example earlier and banned this unhealthy trend, then the child might not have committed a serious crime. I now hate this, and I don't want anyone to make the same mistake as a child." As he said that, he looked back, "Dear colleagues, you must take the child as a warning, don't lose the big one because of the small!"

Seeing that Li Yifu was crying, Li Zhi felt a little touched and sighed: "Don't be too sad, and I am very pleased to learn from it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yifu actually started to whimper and cry.

Awesome! You can make a living by your face, but you just rely on your acting skills. It's really amazing! Han Yi didn't know that Li Yifu was trying to win sympathy for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi quickly advised him not to cry. The Grand Secretariat Ling cried like this in this hall. What is this? But when Li Yi's mansion showed up, he certainly made a lot of tears and could not stop crying. Li Zhi was very persuading and mobilized Xu Jingzong to join him, and then he persuaded Li Yi's mansion.

Li Zhi glanced at him, "My dear friends, what do you think about this?"

The ministers in the hall looked surprisingly consistent, and they were indescribable!

Several ministers wanted all their support, especially Li Yifu's words, which were amazing. The facts were right in front of you and you could not object.

A civil servant suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Sikong and the others are right, but some of these official prostitutes are the families of prisoners. It is a punishment for them to be punished, so how can they be easily exempted?"

Han Yi said, "Punish them to sleep with ministers in the court and keep them in a rich and graceful manner. If this is considered a punishment, then Li Yang should be punished in this way. First, Li Yang is exempted from the death penalty, and then Li Yang will be punished specifically to sleep with 180 beauties!"

Many ministers burst into laughter when they heard this.

Li Yi's mansion heard that it was a world of ice and fire. He originally thought that Han Yi was humiliating Li Yang and asked my son to sleep with a woman. A soldier could be killed but not humiliated. But when he thought about it, humiliation was better than killing. Besides, this was good, at least it was better than execution. He insisted on not making any noise. If the emperor really agreed, he would be very happy.

Li Zhi almost laughed, forced himself to hold it up, and pointed at Han Yi and said, "Shangshu Han, do you still think this is the main hall? As the prime minister, why don't you have any cultivation at all?"

Han Yi quickly said, "I know the crime."

An arrogant civil servant stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there are also many palace prostitutes in your palace!"

Speaking of women, let the relationship between the monarch and the subject aside.

Li Zhi was still a little hesitant, but when he heard this, he was very unhappy. For the sake of the woman, he didn't even let me go. His heart completely turned to Han Yi and said, "If you all agree, I am willing to reduce the palace prostitutes."

Come on! Hurt each other!

Li Zhi has a woman like Wu Meiniang who is rare in a thousand years. How can he like ordinary palace prostitutes? Even if he likes them, he still has to pass Wu Meiniang's level. It will be very troublesome to operate. Moreover, palace prostitutes serve the emperor alone, while official prostitutes are public. At the same time, the reduction is not the case. Of course, the emperor doesn't care, because the emperor can't use so many palace prostitutes, and Li Zhi is not Li Longji, and his pursuit of beauty has reached the ultimate of humanity.

The minister was reluctant to slap himself in the face. Now they had no way out. The emperor threatened to take the lead in reducing the price. Are you still embarrassed to not reduce it?

Xu Jingzong stood up and said, "Who doesn't know how much should be reduced based on the intention of Shangshu Han?"

Han Yi said: "Five hundred in Chang'an, two hundred in Luoyang."

This is not a lot, less than a quarter of it. The ministers could barely accept it, and by the way, they fired those unparalleled official prostitutes. Anyway, they monopolized first-class official prostitutes.

Han Yi said: "Everyone, I'm talking about it to be reduced to 500 people."

This is really a big blow.

"Shangshu Han, you have reduced this too much."

It’s really a death to have a life!

These ministers are shameless!

"Sir Cen, this official prostitute is mainly responsible for singing and dancing at banquets. I think there are enough 500 people. A dance troupe can hold dozens of people, and it can hold dozens of them a day. Do you have a Hongwenguan hold banquets every day? If that's true, it's a little less. Sorry, I don't understand this business very well, because I'm busy every day and thinking about things, and I don't even have the time to get a salary, so I just don't want a salary. Tell me about the situation of your family's banquet, I think it's a reduction. This is used for official business, so it's still possible to discuss it. After all, our ministers are the most important thing."
