Chapter 1014: The First Step to Dismantle the Inner Court

It seems that stealing things from the palace and selling them for silver is unbelievable, but it is not strange at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Take Tang Yi in charge of the cabinet as an example, the six elders below the high arch, the six Shangshu under Yin Shidan, plus the Duchayuan, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Guozijian, Hanlin Academy, etc., are Tang Yi's people from top to bottom, as long as the cabinet is consistent, Longqing will not want to meddle in the outer court. Come hard, there are a large number of science and Taoist officials, all of whom are deadly. Come soft, Tang Yi, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, which is not a belly of truth, can say that the dead are alive.

This is true of the outer court, and the inner court is not like this.

Teng Xiang, Meng Chong, Chen Hong, Feng Bao and others all came out of Yuwang's Qiandi, needless to say, they were so bitter that they suddenly took power, and they could not open up their fishing, but Longqing was a soft-eared and unassertive, they took what they should take, and they took what they shouldn't.

They are still constantly thinking about ways to make money, they want to take down the Beijing camp, they want to extort money from the household department, they have to face several emperors, they have to face the cabinet, they really quarrel, even Longqing may not help them.

So what else?

Sell something!

Longqing doesn't do much construction, but he likes to make jewelry for the concubine, and it is more than 100,000 taels of silver, you must know that making jewelry in the palace is different from the outside.

A delicate piece of jewelry outside, there are seventy or eighty percent of the wages, as well as the profits of the silver shop, there are special craftsmen in the palace, and all that is spent is the material money, don't forget that pearls, corals, agate, and jade are also paid everywhere...... There is very little money to actually be spent.

At first, there was a surplus of silver, and the big guys divided it, but later they found that as long as they were stained with the reputation of the palace and taken outside, the most ordinary gold bracelet would also be worth twice as much.

These people let the craftsmen do more every time, and then eliminate them in the name of unqualified quality, and then take the opportunity to take them to a private store outside the palace and sell them for money.

The kind of shops that Tang Yi and Long Qing encountered, there were more than 100 shops in the capital, and Teng Xiang alone had twenty or thirty of them.

climbed to the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and for more than three years, he bought five houses in the capital, and the silver in his hand was as much as 780,000 taels.

The other Da Jue are also similar, all of them are full of fat brains, and they are getting bolder and bolder, just making money like this, they are not satisfied.

Outside, I not only like the things in the palace, but also like the calligraphy works of the court officials, and I want to be extravagant.

Take Yan Ge Lao as an example, he wrote I don't know how many plaques during his lifetime, many people begged each other for money, Xu Jie was more restrained than Yan Song, and he also wrote a lot.

After Tang Yi took power, he issued a strict order that the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee were not allowed to inscribe plaque couplets, nor were they allowed to charge pen polishing fees, otherwise they would all be punished for embezzlement of ink.

Tang Yi practiced himself, he never wrote for others, and his family management was strict, so there would be no outflow of calligraphy. Many people can get the invitation of Tang University Scholar, and they all treasure it and regard it as a treasure.

Outside, because of Tang Yi's various miracles, he worshiped this Wenqu star, and it is said that someone offered 10,000 gold to ask for a piece of his words.

These eunuchs in the inner court started to think crookedly, and the celebrant had a lot of recitals over the years, except for the important ones to be archived, the rest of the New Year's greeting tables, the ghost-drawn green words, all of which were from the previous dynasty, and no one cared, so they turned them out, found skilled craftsmen, spliced them into a piece of work, and took them out to sell them at a high price.

It's not just Tang Yi's calligraphy, as long as you can afford it, you can even get a royal pen.

If you want to say that these people don't know how to be afraid?

Of course I'm not afraid, they made money, spread all over the world, up and down the palace, all got benefits, who went to Longqing and said, didn't that cut off the big guy's financial route and wanted to become the enemy of the whole people?

As for those who sold things in the palace, who would shout all over the world that I have treasures in the palace at home, isn't that looking for death! Even if you are blind, you can only admit that you are unlucky. I'm afraid that you will be charged with stealing things in the palace.

is still the same sentence, as long as the palace is connected, Longqing will be blind.

Meng Chong is the most honest Da Jue, when he was in charge of the imperial dining room, the eggs were one or two silver, and the following also said that the ancestors were generous, towards the emperor!

Things in the palace, that's how fucked up!

It's just that these people never dreamed that Tang Yi would find it so accurately, and take Longqing out for a trip, and they will open up their old bottoms.

From last night until noon, Longqing didn't eat, Tang Yi could only accompany him, and his stomach was cramped with hunger, so he could only endure it.

Long Qing's face was full of misery, "Master, I don't understand, why the first emperor is in Japan, they don't dare to be so rampant?" Is it really incompetent? ”

Really, you're right, you're so much worse than you...... Tang Yi could only think about it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister will tell you a story, saying that there is a rich man in the Song Kingdom, and the wall was damaged by heavy rain, and his son said that if he doesn't repair it, there will be robbers, and the neighbors also warned him." But he didn't listen, and it was stolen. Afterwards he thinks that his son is smart and prescient, while the neighbor is a villain and is suspected of stealing. ”

Long Qing smiled: "Isn't it Zhizi's suspicious neighbor?" A few days ago, I told the prince about it! ”

"The story is small, but the truth is not small. People are always inevitably alienated from their relatives, close to people, people around them, what they say is easy to believe, people who are far away say it, but it causes unhappiness and even anger, Your Majesty, don't you say? ”

Long Qing was shocked, isn't it, a few days ago, he beat Li Yi with a staff from the court, wasn't it because he was admonishing about the jewelry, but he only thought that he was always staring at the emperor and didn't let me be happy, so he got off the court staff and beat people to death.

Now the truth has been revealed, and sure enough, the piece of jewelry made in the palace is full of shady, and I saw it with my own eyes, good things were taken outside to sell for money, and I was deceived like a fool.

In comparison, Li Yi doesn't like what he says, but compared to Teng Xiang and others, he is much cuter.

I just beat him to death!

"I, I was wrong!" Long Qing lowered his head in pain.

"Master, posthumously present Li Yi as the secretary of Dali Temple, and Mr. Lao Fu wrote a sacrificial text for him to announce to the world to show my repentance."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and the minister will do it."

Tang Yi pondered for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, let's go back to your question just now, why didn't the inner court dare to do this when the first emperor was in Japan. The reason is very simple, because there is a brocade guard! The minister had seen it with his own eyes, and on His Majesty's desk, there were two secret reports from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. No matter how close people are, they will encounter things that are difficult to say, even if they are husband and wife. Only by supervising each other, checking and balancing, and listening to each other, can we not be deceived, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Longqing misses the old feelings very much, and is full of gratitude to the people who helped him get out of the most difficult predicament back then, including Tang Yi, Gao Gong, Teng Xiang, Meng Chong, and Feng Bao.

But this time it hurt Longqing very much, it hurt the heart, hurt the truth, so the obedient slave maid is the same as himself on the surface, behind the back, who else is worth believing?

Maybe what Master Tang said is reasonable, don't believe in the ethereal things of feelings, believe in supervision, and believe in checks and balances.

"Master, I am going to add Lu Yi Shao to the title of Governor of Jinyi Guard, what do you think?"

This is to release the brocade guard to compete with the inner court!

Tang Yi smiled, "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to say that Lu Bing is the right time and place, and others can't learn it." ”

That's not it, first of all, Jiajing is a foreign vassal, he was in Anlu until he was fifteen years old, Lu Bing is his brother, and he is a personal guard, he has a deep relationship, and he has not been affected by the fetters of the throne.

When Jiajing succeeded to the unification, Lu Bing saved Jiajing again, and in turn, Jiajing gave Lu Bing Taibao, Shaobao, three dukes and three orphans, and the honor and favor of the world are peerless, and the trust is beyond measure.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Bing can check and balance the eunuchs in the palace.

If you want to see the emperor, you have to get the consent of the eunuch, and you want to wrestle with the inner court, isn't it a dream!

Why since the establishment of the factory guard, there is only one exception to Lu Bing, and the rest of the time, Jin Yiwei is a dog under the East Factory, the reason is self-evident.

Appointing a Lu Yi will not solve the problem.

"Master, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is still necessary to divide power, but it can't just be divided in the inner court. For example, if you want to purchase jewelry and jewelry, the inner court will make a list, and the household department will approve the expenses, and then the public will open the contract, and the inner court will be responsible for acceptance. ”

"Sending out a bag?" Long Qing was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly a policy that the minister wants to push next, taking river engineering as an example, in the past, the Ministry of Industry and the river yamen were responsible, they were all in one, formulating plans, purchasing materials, carrying out construction, and finally assessing, all of which were done by their own people. Layer by layer, there is no private disadvantage, so that the river works are repaired every year, and as a result, there are disasters every year. For example, the Ministry of Industry is only responsible for formulating a plan, and the Ministry of Household will purchase materials in a unified manner, and the public will bid for them, and those with low price and high quality will win. Then the river yamen concentrated on organizing the construction, and as for the acceptance after completion, it was handed over to the local yamen, and they checked each other, so that they could eliminate private fraud as much as possible and do more things with less money. ”

Long Qing touched it carefully, don't say it, Tang Yi's method is really wonderful.

The Ministry of Industry grasps the big politics, the household department manages the contract, they contain each other, and whoever makes a mistake has someone to play the court. As for the construction to the river yamen, and the supervision to the local yamen, you must know that the safety of the river workers has the greatest impact on the local area, and they will definitely work hard to prevent the river from being perfunctory, and the subordinates are also staring at each other.

Although I dare not say that the disadvantages are eliminated, it is definitely much better than the current from the Ministry of Industry to the river!

Analogy with the situation in the palace, no.

It is those people who say that they want to create jewelry, those who purchase materials, and they are the ones who manufacture and accept, all of them are rounded, and it is no wonder that there are no drawbacks!

If there is the intervention of the foreign court, and there is a public contract, everyone can't work together to deceive me!

"The master is really talented, just do what you say!"

Grunting, Longqing's stomach screamed, and he said embarrassedly: "I forgot, the master is also hungry, let's eat with me." (To be continued.) )
