Xuanzheng Palace, Zhang Tiandao nodded.

"The old minister asked the sixteen vassal kings to come over, just to see them one last time."

"The old minister manages the household department, and at least thirty percent of the money and grain of the household department every year is spent on these feudal kings and royal families, which is thirty percent of the treasury income, enough to feed tens of millions of Dayan people, but these princes and nobles are not satisfied, and they don't even treat the people as people."

"The old minister implores the emperor to abolish all vassal kings and abolish the vassal king system, even the emperor's relatives need to work and make money, instead of relying on the court to support them for nothing."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tiandao knelt directly on the ground: "Please ask the emperor to agree!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Tiandao kowtowed three times.

"Your Majesty, in the hearts of the old ministers, there is no difference between these vassal kings of Dayan and moths."

"In the hearts of the old ministers, these vassal kings have always been eating the flesh of Dayan, drinking the blood of Dayan, and oppressing the people of Dayan, and have not done anything good."

"The minister knows that you and the hundred officials may want to say that the meaning of the existence of the vassal king is to maintain the local development of Dayan and prevent the emergence of rebellion and rebellion, but if you look at it, these vassal kings in all parts of Dayan are the biggest rebels."

"The old minister requests again, the emperor cancels the vassal king system, and from now on, all the palace nobles and the court will no longer provide for them!"

"How much money and food can be fed by the saved money and grain? The emperor should be able to calculate this account, right? ”

Listening to Zhang Tiandao's words, Tang Tingbai's face was also full of smiles.

He glanced at Zhang Tiandao appreciatively.

Without opening his mouth immediately, Tang Tingbai knew that Zhang Tiandao's words would definitely arouse opposition from other officials.

But Tang Tingbai did not give the officials a chance to refute.

He turned his head directly to look at Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard: "Yuanfang, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang's eyes lit up.

He was a smart man and knew why the emperor would ask him.

Because all civil and military officials are afraid of Jinyiwei, and at the same time, this is also a job that offends people, so Li Yuanfang, the notorious leader of Jinyiwei, can only do it.

"The emperor, his subordinates are also in favor of abolishing the vassal system."

"This group of vassal kings has done a lot of evil and deserves to be killed, and it is indeed as Zhang Butang said, in the locality, these vassal kings are moths everywhere, greedy for pleasure, and proficient in eating, drinking, ticketing, and gambling."

"I think that at the beginning, Dayan set up a domain town, and the purpose of the vassal kings here was to protect their families and defend the country, but now this group of vassal kings has become the biggest moth that harms Dayan, and it should be revoked."

Li Yuanfang said this categorically.

Tang listened to Bai Leng snort, and he pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Li Yuanfang.

"Zhang Butang, the system of the Great Yan Domain is an ancestral precept, you asked me to change the rules set by my ancestors, do you want to trap me in unfilial piety?"

"According to my temper, when you make this request, you should be killed, but I will punish you for a month for the amount you have paid for Dayan over the years, do you have any opinions?"

What?

Zhang Tiandao was stunned.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Tang Tingbai would punish him.

Because Zhang Tiandao guessed, what he just said was what Tang Tingbai thought in his heart, and it was also Zhang Tiandao's true thoughts?

In an instant, Zhang Tiandao immediately understood.

The emperor is preparing to remove him from this matter.

After all, these Great Yan vassal kings, as well as the previous generation of vassal kings, are also protégés all over the world, and his suggestion to abolish the vassal king system is obviously offending people.

And he is Dayan's household department, and it is inevitable that he will continue to deal with those protégés of the vassal kings in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tiandao raised his head and looked at Tang Tingbai gratefully: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang with a smile.

"Commander Li, it's good that you put forward the idea of abolishing the vassal king system, I agreed, let's implement it immediately!"

"From today on, the imperial court will no longer bear the living expenses of the vassal kings in various places, but after all, it is my Dayan royal family, and each vassal king will reward thousands of acres of fertile land, and it is not allowed to buy and sell, let alone give away."

"At the same time, carefully check the family property of the Great Yan vassal king, each vassal king only left them 100,000 taels of silver, and the rest were confiscated, and the land left a thousand acres of fertile land was also confiscated."

"At the same time, investigate the illegal acts of the vassal kings in various places, arrest when you should be caught, and kill when you should be killed!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang smiled helplessly.

He knew that this dirty work was tiring, and they had to do it again.

However, it seems that there is no more suitable candidate than Jinyiwei.

"The subordinates obey the order, please rest assured that the emperor!" Li Yuanfang immediately bowed.

After retiring from the court, Tang Tingbai returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

He leaned back in his chair.

Garo was holding a watermelon. The fruit bowl of grapes, apples, blueberries, and oranges stood beside Tang Tingbai.

It's just that at this moment, Garo's face is a little pale.

Even fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

Well?

Tang Tingbai keenly sensed that something was wrong.

He took Jia Luo's slender hand with concern, and asked with concern: "Jia Luo, what's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Jia Luo smiled and shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, but today I don't know why, I feel sick and want to vomit when I see these fruits." ”

Tang Tingbai took the fruit plate from Jia Luo's hand.

Took a look at the weather outside.

It's the end of October, but it's still hot.

Stuffy.

Stuffy people are in an irritable mood.

"If only I had a few sticks of ice cream now." Tang listened to Bai muttering to himself.

When he crossed over, the ice cream seemed to be only five cents or a dollar.

I think that when Tang Tingbai was a child, he also ate popsicles for a dime and two sticks, and he also ate spicy strips when they were sold.

It's just that Tang Tingbai didn't expect it.

His world has changed a lot since he crossed over.

Ice cream assassins appeared, and cheap ice cream became less and less.

The spicy strips are also getting cleaner and more hygienic, but they are also getting farther and farther away from the so-called deliciousness.

Tang Tingbai looked at Jia Luo's pale face, he was a little worried, and said to the old avenue of the five good generals at the door: "Zi Bed, you go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, find Bian Que, as fast as possible!" ”

Zhao Zibed, who was guarding the door, immediately nodded: "My subordinates will go." ”

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are a little dizzy and nauseous, you don't need to find Bian Que, he is now the thirteenth Taibao of Jinyiwei, and he is very busy every day, so his subordinates don't need to trouble this little thing...... Trouble him. Garo opened his mouth weakly.

Tang Tingbai touched Jia Luo's little head dotingly: "In my heart, nothing is as important as you, I can't believe in the group of wastes in the Tai Hospital, Bian Que has superb medical skills, so let him come." ”

After a stick of incense, Bian Que came to the Xuanzheng Hall sweating profusely.

Coincidentally.

Today happened to be him patrolling the palace with the brocade guard, so it didn't take much time to find him.

"Subordinate Bian Que, meet the emperor, my emperor ......"

Without waiting for Bian Que to finish speaking, Tang Tingbai waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, hurry up and show Jia Luo, what's wrong with her!" ”

Bian Que nodded hurriedly, walked to Jia Luo's side, and put his fingers on Jia Luo's wrist.

After a few breaths, Bian Que looked overjoyed: "Your Majesty, good news, Jia Luo is happy." ”

Pregnant?

What do you mean?

Suddenly, Tang Tingbai thought of the ancient TV series, Youxi seems to mean pregnancy, right?

Tang Tingbai excitedly grabbed Bian Que's neck, and there was even a hint of tremor in his voice.

"Old Thirteen, are you sure?"

"Let's confirm it again, can you be sure it's a boy or a girl?"

Bian Que's face was full of helplessness, he was now grabbed by Tang Tingbai's neck, and it was a little difficult for him to breathe.

He hurriedly broke Tang Tingbai's hand, and gasped for breath: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are 100% sure, it's only been a month and a half since you were pregnant, and you can't see it for the time being!" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled and patted Bian Que's shoulder, he took down a handful of jade Ruyi made of Hetian jade from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Bian Que: "This is for you, go down." ”

Bian Que nodded, took Yu Ruyi and turned to leave.

In Bian Que's eyes, this jade Ruyi is a priceless treasure.

Because it is a reward from the emperor.

If he makes any mistakes in the future, this thing will be a gold medal for avoiding death.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Tingbai personally wrote a holy decree and personally covered the jade seal.

Feng Jialuo is a noble concubine and lives in the Golden Dragon Palace.

In the Dayan Inner Palace, there are a total of five huge palaces.

These five palaces were all for the imperial concubines.

However, depending on the grade, the place of residence is naturally different.

The Hehuan Hall is inhabited by some waiters and is always there.

Zizhu Pavilion is inhabited by some talents, beauties, and nobles.

Liangyuan, Wanyi, etc., who live in Wangchun Hall.

Jieyu, Zhaoyi, etc., who live in Qiushui Pavilion.

Of course, now Tang Tingbai's inner palace is very calm, and there are only two concubines including Jia Luo.

And they are all imperial concubines.

Changle Palace is inhabited by the imperial concubine.

Daji dwelt in it.

Originally, according to the rank, Jia Luo also had to live in Changle Palace.

But Tang Tingbai felt sorry for Jia Luo, which was also a kind of favor.

That's why he let Jia Luo live in the most luxurious Golden Dragon Palace.

In other words, throughout the ages, the Golden Dragon Hall has always been the place where the queen and the lord of the inner palace lived.

After writing the holy decree, Tang Tingbai immediately arranged for the eunuchs around him to go to the inner palace to read it.

At the same time, there were 5,000 eunuchs in the inner palace, and Tang Tingbai directly gave 2,000 people to Jialuo.

These two thousand eunuchs are all strong in martial arts and delicate in their minds.

Although Tang Tingbai didn't want to set up the East Factory, he also knew that there were too many open and hidden arrows in the inner palace.

Especially now that Jia Luo is pregnant, it is equivalent to shaking the cake of Nanshan and West Lake.

It is even very likely that these two forces will take the risk and send someone to assassinate Galo.

So, you have to be cautious.

After all, once Jia Luo gave birth to a boy, Tang Tingbai's temper would definitely be made the crown prince.

At that time, Nanshan and West Lake may not have any chance of dominating the court.

Take Nanshan as an example.

Everyone in Nanshan hopes that Su Daji can conceive the dragon seed, so that Nanshan will be more reused by Tang Tingbai, and then suppress the West Lake, so as to dominate the entire court.

In the Royal Palace, there are no secrets.

The Inner Palace knew, and the people outside the Palace must have known too.

It is conceivable that the Prime Minister's Mansion, which belongs to the Nanshan forces, should have become a mess at this moment, right?
