Only Lu Yijian frowned, he always felt something was wrong.

"Next year, I plan to establish the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supervisory Court as the three law enforcement offices. The Dali Temple is equivalent to the courts of later generations, with legislative and judicial powers. The Ministry of Justice is the Ministry of Public Security of later generations, with the power of investigation and arrest. The Supervisory Court is the procuratorate of later generations, with the power of supervision and investigation."

Zhao Jun continued, "As for the Supreme Law, it will be formulated by the Constitutional Yuan. The law will serve as a constitution, establishing the basic rights and obligations of the emperor, state institutions, citizens, as well as the national flag, national emblem, and capital. Even the emperor cannot violate it."

"If that's the case."

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and was about to answer.

Lu Yijian understood instantly and said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done!"

"Um?"

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Yijian sternly and said, "Old Lu, you'd better think it over carefully before you speak."

"I, the old man."

Lu Yijian was frightened by Zhao Jun's gaze and dared not speak for a moment.

Zhao Zhen wondered, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jun sneered, "He simply wants to say that I'm manipulating the law, interfering with the legislative power that originally belonged to the Dali Temple, and restricting the imperial power."

Zhao Zhen frowned suddenly. No emperor wanted his imperial power to be restricted.

He could tolerate the Constitutional Court because these powers were originally dispersed among the bureaucrats and literati, but now they were concentrated in the hands of an institution he could trust.

Moreover, through this institution, his power was increased, so he was able to establish the Constitutional Yuan.

But if the imperial power is restricted, that is another matter.

Zhao Jun said, "Some imperial powers should be limited. Your Majesty, you are a benevolent and reasonable emperor, and that's why you're a good emperor. But think about it, Your Majesty. There are so many tyrants in history who kill people at will. When they're unhappy, they go on a killing spree. They even invent all kinds of torture instruments to torment their subjects. Your Majesty, do you think this is what an emperor should do?"

"Of course I can't."

Zhao Zhen immediately shook his head. With his personality, he would feel it was a pity even to step on an ant, let alone kill someone.

"That's it."

Zhao Jun spread his hands and said, "The current emperor is a benevolent and holy emperor, but who can guarantee that the next emperor will be the same? Your Majesty, listen to my advice. I am your descendant and will not harm you like a bad old man like Lu Yijian. An emperor should act like an emperor and formulate a constitution to protect the rights of the people. This is the most basic requirement, isn't it?"

"That seems to be the case."

Zhao Zhen felt that what Zhao Jun said made a lot of sense. It was a rare occasion for him to praise the Holy Emperor. He was so happy that he couldn't find his way around. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandson, you are doing this for my own good. Then, let Grandson formulate the constitution."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Jun bowed and saluted, then stared at Lu Yijian with a deep gaze, as if warning him of something.

Old Lu was sweating profusely at this moment, and was complaining in his heart.

My silly official.

What Zhao Jun wants is not to limit the imperial power, but the power to make laws!

From now on, what he says will be the law.

In the future, he will be lawless throughout the Song Dynasty!
