Tang Yi went to Tianguan Mansion, what he talked about with Yang Bo, no one knows, but after that, Tang Yi sat in the cabinet, handled ordinary government affairs with peace of mind, and there was no movement at all, and it was delayed for three days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

plus Ge Shouli and Gao Yi, among the nine Qings, the three important ministers have picked their sons.

No matter how obsessed Long Qing is, he can't enjoy it, taking advantage of the night, he only took the eunuch Chen Hong and rushed to the cabinet, far away, he saw Tang Yi's duty room brightly lit, Master Tang was really disgusted!

Without alarming anyone, Long Qing arrived at the front of the duty room, gently pushed it away, and walked in.

"Put the fold down."

Tang Yi lowered his head and continued to look at it, his movements were very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had drawn up more than a dozen notes, but there were still mountains of notes there, and it seemed that he would never finish reading.

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to stay up all night again." Tang Yi stretched his waist, and when he looked up, he saw Long Qing standing at the door, and he hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Tang Yi wanted to give a salute, but Long Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support him, pulled Tang Yi, and sat down.

"Master Tang, there are only you and Master Chen left in the cabinet at the moment, you have worked hard, you must take care of your health, my country is counting on Master." Long Qing said, his eyes were red, and he was very reluctant.

Tang Yi's old face flushed, Zhu Zaiyuan, melon baby, I am digging your family's ancestral grave! Tang Yi just thought for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been deeply favored by two generations of emperors, and he has joined the cabinet to assist the government, and he has tried his best to eat and clothe himself, and he does not dare to be careless. What's more, the current national politics are in turmoil, and it is difficult to change the law, and the ministers dare not carry the slightest! ”

Long Qing nodded, "The master has worked hard to see in my eyes, two hundred years of accumulated shortcomings, finance, official governance, military system, clan, gentry, land, industry and commerce...... In all aspects, it is as chaotic as hemp, I really don't know how the master survived. ”

"Work together, now Zhang Ge Lao in the southeast to implement the clear acres of fields, has had some effect, in the future do not need to calculate the tax-free field, to fill the loopholes, it will be easy to check, as long as there is determination, the minister thinks that between a year or two, the field can be sorted out. As for the matter of the nine sides, Tang Ge Lao also sent the results of the investigation, he thought that the military registration should be abolished, and the military households could not be lost, he proposed to follow the example of the southeast Xiangyong, set up a patrol inspection department in the nine sides, recruit young and strong military households, the imperial court should give weapons and food salaries, guard the local security, and then arrange elite soldiers, stationed in the fortress, maintain strong pressure, as long as the grassland is used to raising sheep for a living, no longer pick up the scimitar to loot, the frontier will be peaceful. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "The remaining big thing is commercial tax, to be honest, this is the most difficult, and it is not easy to find a place to pilot." However, the minister thinks that there are more ways than difficulties, and he will find a suitable way, please rest assured. ”

Listening to Tang Yi's introduction, Long Qing was relieved a lot, "The master has a splendid chest, and I can rest assured." ”

After chatting for a while, I looked at the third watch, "Master Tang, I won't bother Mr. ”

He got up to leave, and Tang Yi saw him off later.

When he arrived at the door, Long Qing suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Master, you really have nothing to say, you want to talk to me?"

In the end, he couldn't hold it back, Tang Yi smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're here just for the sake of the clan, right?" ”

Long Qing said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that the master has already seen it, and I am really worried about this matter!" ”

As soon as he turned around, Long Qing sat back in his original position.

"Master Tang, I didn't know it before, but after watching Lin Run and Zou Yinglong's recitals, I knew that the imperial princes and vassal kings, all over the world, consume seven or eight million stones of rice every year, and annex acres of land, not to mention tens of millions. The people often say that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they have already taken so many benefits, why don't they know how to stop it? One day, the Ming Dynasty will have to be eaten up, and they will be overwhelmed, and when I think of this, I can't sleep all night! ”

Tang Yi's face was solemn, and he sighed: "Your Majesty is worried about Sheji, it is the blessing of the common people in the world, and it is not good for the ministers to hide anything." As the saying goes, you can't get close to each other, after all, they are the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, and they are connected by blood, as a courtier, no matter how you deal with it, it is not suitable. Although the amount of rice consumed by His Majesty's clan is huge, if the new policy is successful, the annual income can increase by tens of millions of taels, and perhaps this hole can be filled. ”

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he peeked and observed, only to see that Long Qing's face was as heavy as autumn water, obviously dissatisfied with such a negative approach.

"Master Tang, I remember what you said at the beginning, saying that Wang Anshi failed to change the law and failed because he didn't dare to solve the problem. The Northern Song Dynasty had redundant soldiers and redundant officials, so that the imperial court could not make ends meet, and the finances were embarrassed, Wang Anshi did not dare to reform the rule of officials, and did not dare to dismantle useless soldiers. Although I am not sensitive, I also know that since the founding of the country, the number of clans has increased a hundredfold. No matter how much the tax of the court increases, if it can't catch up with the expansion rate of the clan, sooner or later there will be a time to dry up, not to mention - the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation is exhausted, saying that it is the clan relatives, but in fact, the eight poles can't be beaten, for them, it will waste the precious wealth of the court, I think it is absolutely impossible! ”

Longqing's reasoning made Tang Yi couldn't help but be surprised, it seemed that his apprentice was not so stupid. Tang Yicheng was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly said: "Since Your Majesty is like this, the minister will definitely do his best to deal with the affairs of the clan and live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

"There's Master Lao!"

……

The next day, Tang Yi immediately issued an order, asking the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty to actively contribute advice and suggestions to rectify the affairs of the clan.

Longqing also personally issued an order and asked for good ideas.

Seeing that the emperor and the cabinet all had this attitude, the civil officials who had long been unable to hold back wrote one after another, and the ideas of the big guys were all kinds of strange and varied.

Some people even proposed that all feudal kings, who had been in the family for more than five generations, be demoted to commoners and eliminate the feudal kingdoms.

Of course, this assertion is too radical and is thrown aside at a glance.

Chen Yiqin was responsible for sorting out the opinions of all parties, and finally summed up nearly 60 opinions and sent them to Longqing, each of which was quite lethal.

For example, the first one is Lin Run's suggestion, he believes that most of the vassal kings support thugs, family members, and even take in outlaws, and the number of guards is far beyond the number of guards that the palace should have. He proposed that the number of guards in the palace be reduced to 200, and that the number of household servants, servants, and maids should also be limited, and that they should not be violated.

The number of people was controlled, and the expenses of the royal palace were reduced. Lin Run suggested that when the vassal king took office, the imperial court had already given a large number of acres of land, with tens of thousands of acres and a few thousand, and the income from land rent was enough to maintain the expenses of the palace, so Lu rice should be abolished.

Xu Fatzi also came up with an idea, he thought that among the past dynasties, the Song Dynasty had the most appropriate disposal of the clan, and the Song Dynasty clan could participate in the imperial examination, enter the court as an official, and be self-reliant. He suggested that all preferential treatment for the clan should be abolished, and that schools should be established to allow them to participate in the imperial examinations and engage in different professions.

The son of the clan is just a noble title, without any power, and the court does not have to bear any price.

After Xu Wei's suggestion was spread, the children of the clan in Beijing cried.

What are you kidding, they have been pampered for two hundred years, in addition to eating, drinking, and bullying people, where do they have the ability to take the imperial examination, and after ten years of cold windows, how bitter it is, the head hangs over the beam, and the cone pierces the strands, thinking about it makes people's scalp numb and shudder.

We don't want exams, we just want the current salary, and we must not reduce it!

How about the emperor, you are also a member of the old Zhu family, can you still mutilate your relatives?

The children of the clan in Beijing gathered together again, and there were three to five hundred people who had recently arrived one after another, and each of them brought a lot of thugs together, several thousand.

All day long, he ran into the street to make trouble, stopped the official's carriage, scolded him, and stretched out his hand to beat him.

After the ritual department was finished, they ran to Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple, and some people shouted to see Longqing.

They turned the capital into a miasma, from top to bottom, offended the people who could be offended, and the big guys hated it so much.

It's just that the clan in Beijing is making trouble, and Shen Shixing, the prefect of Hanzhong, sent a secret report, saying that he reported that King Yi had gathered seven or eight thousand outlaws to practice all day, and it seemed that he was trying to do wrong.

Moreover, King Yi also drafted a large number of girls, and selected more than 700 people at one time, enriching the palace.

This one is the most deadly, after Long Qing saw it, he was so angry that he was going crazy, he was better than me!

If I don't clean you up, I don't deserve to be the son of heaven!

He was really angry, even Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji, who were sick at home, were called, and all the high-ranking officials of the cabinet, the six ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate gathered in the palace.

Long Qing was murderous, "I uphold the benevolent heart of my ancestors and give preferential treatment to the clan, but they don't appreciate my hard work, but instead plot against me, they are no longer my relatives, they are chaotic ministers and thieves, chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished!" ”

The emperor was furious, and the officials present had enough of it, and even the most honest people tried to punish the clan severely.

It's just how to start, for a while, the big guy didn't know what to do, those dozens of suggestions, if they were really implemented, the whole world would be in trouble, and there would be no wolf smoke all over the ground, and the flames would be in the sky!

"Shousuke-sama, you are resourceful, give me an idea." Yang Bo said with a smile.

It's this old guy again, you can't let me watch the drama for a while!

Tang Yi said helplessly: "Emperor Tiangui, dragon son and dragon grandson, you must not be lazy, and we courtiers cannot put Your Majesty in the realm of injustice." The ministers thought that it would be better to re-select a group of shrewd and capable governors of the palace, and let them manage the affairs of the palace. Responsible for the safety of the palace, manage the land for the palace, manage the selection of maids of the palace, and manage the weddings and funerals. Those who have outstanding political achievements in the history of the palace can be promoted to the sixth department, or be a political envoy, and work according to the inspection envoy yamen. ”

Send a royal palace chief to control the clan?

Some people haven't understood yet, but some people have smelled the smell, the palace also has a long history in the past, but it was all done by down-and-out officials, sent away, purely for the elderly, and the power is very limited.

Tang Yi gave all the power to the governor of the palace, and included them in the evaluation of the officials. What official would not work hard to clean up the vassal kings and regard them as a shortcut to the south! These vassal kings, they have had a hard time! (To be continued.) )
