Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Tang Yi and Gao Gong's faces were very unsightly, when they came out, Tang Yi explained to Li Shizhen, be sure to keep an eye on it at night, and wait until the day, he and Gao Gong will take turns to come over on duty, all medicines, food, and drinking water taken by the Son of Heaven must be carefully checked, and there can be no mistakes.

I don't know if I'm not sick, Emperor Longqing, who usually doesn't have much sense of existence, once he falls, things are really troublesome!

"Zhongxuangong, I just returned to Beijing, and some things are not clear, so I'm going to bother my brother tonight."

Gao Gong remained silent and nodded vigorously.

On the first watch day, Tang Yi carried a pot of Fengzhou wine and went to the high-arch duty room.

The tall beard had also been prepared, a small table, with four plates, two pairs of bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and the old man has no intention of preparing anything, Yuanfu won't be surprised, right?"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, "What can I eat now, my stomach is bitter, and I can only pour it down with my brother." ”

Tear open the seal, the rich aroma of wine wafted out, everyone poured a glass, Tang Yi tasted the wine, his mouth was full of bitterness, he just covered his face with wine, drank a little and put it down, looked up, the tall beard actually put down the wine glass, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"Zhongxuangong, there are only the two of us today, we know everything and say everything, and the younger brother has the courage to ask for advice, what do you think is the effect of the Longqing New Deal in the past five years?"

Gao Gong straightened his waist, pressed his thighs with his hands, and thought for a while, "If according to the standards of the past dynasties, the old man thought that the merits were huge, and now the household department turned losses into profits, and the financial resources that the imperial court could use every year exceeded 30 million yuan, and the government was refreshed several times, the northern border troubles were lifted, and the henchmen were gone, leaving only the southwest scabies disease, which was not to worry, the floods in the Central Plains were cured, and the way of collecting taxes was also changed, all over the world, the eight granaries were built, and the burden on the people was small." If you want to talk about the outside world, Monan has gradually been incorporated into the territory, Dongfan and Luzon, and many islands have fallen into our hands, which can be regarded as expanding the territory......"

After a round of calculations, Gao Gong said: "At the beginning of the old man's entry into the cabinet, I never thought that I could do so many things, but it was still the work of Yuan Fu's planning, and Gao Gong admired it." ”

Tang Yi held the cup, stared at the clear wine, and said lightly: "I do have some credit, don't be humble, but the real person who has made great contributions is not me, Tang Yi, nor Gao Suqing." ”

The tall beard gasped, his pupils constricted, and he immediately expanded, laughing and said: "Yuanfu is right, it is Your Majesty, and it is Your Majesty's unconditional trust that has led to today's situation!" ”

"That's right, the world has underestimated His Majesty's intelligence, he doesn't fight, he doesn't take it, he doesn't doubt, he doesn't suspect it, he doesn't engage in balance, and he doesn't play power...... It is precisely because Your Majesty is firm in his mind and has curbed the party strife from the source that the cabinet has been able to carry out reforms in five years. ”

Gao Gong has experienced the Jiajing Dynasty, he knows it well, in fact, Yan Song and Xu Jie, and even those ministers earlier, the reason why they fell into endless party struggles, many of them were instigated and instigated by Jiajing behind his back, only if the ministers are not in harmony, the king can rule calmly, rub it casually, like the Longqing Dynasty, the cabinet is unanimous, what room does the emperor have to focus on?

"Zhong Xuangong, our change has reached the most critical time!"

Gao Gong nodded, but shook his head again.

"Yuan Fu, according to the old man's opinion, it may not be the case, right now you hold the right to approve the red, the old man is in charge of the vote, and the internal and external powers are all in your hands, which other small ones can make waves?"

"No!" Tang Yi was not optimistic at all, "Your Majesty's dragon body is Kangtai, then the world is peaceful, if ...... The Quartet will definitely come out of nowhere, see the stitches, and play with right and wrong. Tang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Zhongxuangong, has someone gone to look for you?" ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that Tang Yi is really powerful, he knows everything!

"I didn't monitor Brother Zhongxuan, in fact, someone was looking for me, I thought I wanted to come, but I was afraid that someone would also look for you, so there was a question, if Brother Zhongxuan didn't want to say, forget it."

Gao Gong belongs to the donkey, eats soft and not hard, and glared at him, "You Tang Ge is always a gentleman, and Gao Suqing is a villain?" You shouldn't betray your friends, but those people aren't friends. Someone did look for me. They said that you stole the power to criticize the red and took the authority of the Son of Heaven in your hands, you want to become Wang Mang, Zhao Kuangyin, and let the old man turn the tide and get rid of you for the world! ”

Tang Yi smiled and nodded, "Brother Zhongxuan is credible?" ”

"Don't believe it, don't believe a word!" Gao Gong said: "If you really want to be Wang Mang, you won't want to approve the right of red, I thought you had the heart to be the minister of power, and there was no idea of replacing it!" ”

Tang Yi didn't deny it, but just smiled: "The minister of power is not me, but belongs to the cabinet, and only in this way can we ensure that the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty will always be wise and wise, and will not make fatal mistakes. ”

Gao Gong said it very explicitly, and Tang Yi was more direct.

After years of observation, Tang Yi can see Gao Gong's temperament clearly.

Although this guy has a deep relationship with Long Qing, in Gao Gong's heart, he actually has a thought, that is, the reality of the hypocrite.

It is too dangerous to pin the safety of a country on one family, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has often not chosen the best of the best, but has not been chosen!

Xiaozong has only one child, Zhu Houzhao, Zhengde doesn't even have a son, Jiajing gave birth to eight, survived two, and King Jing also died before Jiajing, and when he arrived in Longqing, the heirs were also difficult.

Old Master Kong accepted 3,000 students, and only seventy-two of them became talents, even if the old master was alive, there was no guarantee that the Zhu family would produce a bright monarch for generations.

On the contrary, the civil service system of the Ming Dynasty has been quite mature, from talent selection, to training experience, and finally to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, which will take at least ten years of eunuch career.

is a smart person, and after the best training, the bachelors of the past generations are not idle people.

It is far more dangerous to manipulate power in the hands of an unreliable emperor than in the hands of scholars.

It was precisely when Gao Beard saw this that he let Tang Yi take over the right to criticize red.

In fact, for all generations, the prime minister is not the final decision-maker, a phase word, it is decided that they are just a counselor, assist the emperor, encounter problems, come up with methods and opinions, and finally want the emperor to make decisions, and the decision-making power is the so-called approval of red!

The eunuchs were not divided into power, but the power of the emperor, because the emperor alone could not fight the civil officials, so a group of eunuchs were released to fight in the ring for him and the civil officials.

Now Xinxue has been shouting about the reality of the hypocritical monarch, isn't it that the first assistant of the cabinet has become the prime minister of the Han and Tang Dynasties, they want more, is to transfer the decision-making power to the cabinet, and the emperor is just as a symbol, as a tablet.

To be honest, Tang Yi never thought that Long Qing would easily give up the right to approve red, it should have been an earth-shattering battle, but it was completed so silently, and when others reacted, it was too late.

The reason why Gao Gong would say that kind of thing was because he could see it clearly.

If Tang Yi wants to usurp power, he will not jump out at this time, risk the disapproval of the world, and take over the power of the red, he should learn from Wang Mang, continue to pretend to be innocent, continue to sell cuteness, raise hope, and wait for the new monarch to ascend the throne, the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and then make a decisive move.

Or he is more anxious, not only to get the right to approve the red, but also to hold the right to vote in his hands, instead of now, he just needs the same, and unconditionally handed over the other to Gao Gong, forming a situation of double side-by-side.

"Brother Zhongxuan, today's Ming Dynasty no longer needs a grandfather, he is like a grandfather, a dictatorial son of heaven, what he needs is like His Majesty, graceful and generous, and a prince who dares to delegate power! Your Majesty does nothing, and the cabinet can let go of it. Zhong Xuangong may be suspicious, all the power falls into the hands of the cabinet, in case someone has other ideas, to replace him. I can assure the Central Xuangong that in the future, the cabinet will maintain a sufficient size, and each scholar will be responsible for his own share and have equal status. Moreover, the auxiliary ministers must have a term of office and an age limit. As long as these rules are set, there will be no situation where people will die and the government will not exist, and there is no need to worry about emasculating and counterattacking and destroying the good situation......"

Gao Gong sat upright, as if he knew the person in front of him for the first time, Tang Yi kept talking, telling the direction of reform he designed, and comparing it with the ideas in his heart, many places coincided. It's just that he wants to rely more on Mingjun and virtuous ministers to fulfill his duties, as for Tang Yi, he is more convinced of the rules, in contrast, Tang Yi's design is more practical, what he didn't expect, Tang Yi also thought of it, Gao Gong listened attentively, and his mouth was suddenly opened.

"Yuanfu really has a splendid mind, Gao is satisfied!"

Tang Yi smiled, "Brother Zhongxuan, anyone can talk on paper, but it is even more difficult to really implement it." The chaos in front of us is said to be caused by things in the palace, but in fact, through the fog, the essence of the matter is obvious, that is, our change has touched the root, and all kinds of forces have gathered together, taking advantage of His Majesty's lack of peace and panic, and they are fighting back, wanting to ruin our great cause! Brother Zhongxuan, until now, if you and I still have a grudge against us, we can't be open and honest, and we will only take advantage of villains. Therefore, the little brother dared to come, dissected his heart, and explained what he was thinking to Brother Zhongxuan. ”

"Yuanfu is open-minded, Gao is not as good!" The tall beard got up, respectfully bowed, and bowed to Tang Yi, "In the past, I was also a little worried about Yuanfu, but now my doubts are gone. If Yuanfu has any orders, just say it, Gao has nothing to do. ”

Tang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the people that Longqing really trusted at the moment were him and Gao Gong, if Gao Hu was pulled over, he would be in trouble, and now that Gao Hu was on his side, he could let go.

"Zhongxuan Gong, there are two crucial things at the moment, the first is to eradicate those conservative ministers and remove the obstacles to changing the law, and the second is to clean up the eunuchs and prevent the inner court from counterattacking."

Gao Gong said happily: "It should have been like this a long time ago, this year is the year of external inspection, and the test law has also been implemented. As for the palace, it's a bit troublesome. Gao Gong smiled bitterly, "After all, those people are His Majesty's cronies, and the story of King Qiyang has to be guarded against." ”

The king of Qiyang is Li Wenzhong, because he advised Zhu Yuanzhang to stay away from the eunuch, but Zhu Yuanzhang angrily scolded "I want to be weak, my wings are weak". It didn't take long for Li Wenzhong to fall ill and die.

No matter how bold the tall beard is, he is afraid of touching the taboo.

"Brother Zhongxuan, just let it go!" Tang Yi was confident, "Your Majesty will not be suspicious." (To be continued.) )
