Central General's Palace.

Tang Tingbai sat in the living room, drinking tea leisurely.

The central general Zhuge Invincible and the prefect of Kyoto, Zhuge Liang, sat on the left and right sides of Tang Tingbai.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you came to the minister's mansion at this time for the nine-year compulsory education?" Zhuge asked curiously.

"General Zhuge , Jinyiwei reported, you now have 50 million taels of silver hidden under your mansion, and even a lot of them are obtained by risking the army's salary, I didn't come today to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, tomorrow morning, take the initiative to hand over 5 million taels of silver, and let all the members of the West Lake take the initiative to hand over 10% of the family property." Tang Tingbai smiled confidently: "As a deal, I can make the decision and let Zhuge Liang become the next Prime Minister of Dayan, how about it?" ”

What???

After listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Zhuge Invincible's face changed.

Even the muscles on his face jumped a few times unconsciously.

Tang listened to Bai's short two sentences, but he had completely suppressed him.

The Central General's Mansion did have 50 million taels of silver, and many of them were indeed obtained by him by risking the army's salary.

Even, now the two mahogany pillars with a diameter of three meters in diameter in the Central General's Mansion are filled with silver.

However, he did this kind of thing very secretly, how did Jin Yiwei know?

Also, what did this tyrant say just now?

As long as he agrees to Tang Tingbai's conditions, he agrees that Zhuge Liang will become the next Prime Minister of Dayan?

Zhuge Wushu touched his chin, a little entangled.

He is the leader of Nanshan, but he is also the head of the three-hundred-year-old family, the Zhuge family.

He had to think about the good of the family.

If the interests of all the families and officials are sacrificed, it will be cost-effective to replace them with a prime minister from the Zhuge family.

After all, he knew his son's ability, if Zhuge Liang could become the prime minister of Dayan, it would definitely be deep-rooted.

It will inevitably take their Zhuge family to new heights.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Wushu immediately nodded: "The emperor can rest assured, the old minister understands what to do." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction, he stood up, walked to Zhuge Liang's side, and gently patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder: "Do a good job, I am optimistic about you." ”

After speaking, Tang Tingbai left directly with his hands behind his back.

In fact, among the young civil officials under Tang Tingbai, Zhuge Liang's ability can at least rank in the top three.

So why did Tang Tingbai arrange Zhuge Liang to become the next prime minister of Dayan.

In fact, it has little to do with ability.

Because Zhuge Liang is a member of the Zhuge family, he has a relationship.

It's that simple!

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the Xuanzheng Palace.

Today, all the civil and military officials came, and none of them were absent.

It is said that last night Prime Minister Su Zhen and the central general Zhuge Wushu came to the door one by one and persuaded these officials.

At this moment, Tang Tingbai was sitting on the dragon chair, and he looked at Su Zhen.

And Su Zhen also immediately understood, he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the old minister has thought a lot in the past few days, the implementation of nine-year compulsory education in the imperial court is indeed a big event, the old minister supports it unconditionally, and the old minister also knows that one billion taels of silver to implement this policy is definitely not enough, so the old minister is willing to donate one-tenth of the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion, three million taels of silver, and at the same time, the old minister also persuaded the Su family to donate 30 million taels of silver!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the central general Zhuge Invincible also took a step forward.

"Playing the emperor, the old minister also unconditionally supports the emperor's decision-making, the old minister personally donated five million taels to support nine-year compulsory education, and at the same time, the Zhuge family behind the old minister donated 50 million taels of silver!"

Immediately afterwards, the six ministries opened their mouths one after another to express their agreement.

And the faces of those civil and military officials in the court were full of unwillingness.

The prime minister, the central general, and the six ministries have all agreed, what kind of storm can these officials below the third rank stir up?

Even, if they still want to do something, there is no need for Tang Tingbai to clean them up at all.

Su Zhen and Zhuge Invincible will not let them go.

In the same way, they know it in their hearts.

The officials of West Lake thought that if ten years later, Prime Minister Dayan was a person from West Lake, it would bring them huge benefits to West Lake, and they officials and the family behind them might go further.

And the officials in Nanshan basically think about it!

In this era, the emphasis is on the family and the country.

Home at the front!

On the dragon chair, Tang Tingbai looked at Dayan's civil and military officials and smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at the old master of the Ministry of Rites: "Old master, I will hand over all the billions of taels of silver to you, and then the Ministry of Rites will start to arrange the matter of nine-year compulsory education, as for the textbooks, I will write them myself, what you need to do now is to buy the school and hire a teacher." ”

Hearing this, the old master immediately nodded: "The old minister understands!" ”

After the discussion was over, Tang Tingbai waved his hand and retreated directly.

Inner Palace, Golden Dragon Palace.

After the next court, Tang Tingbai came directly to Jia Luo.

Tang Tingbai lay on Jia Luo's lap, breathing in the aroma of Jia Luo's body.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have heard about your deal with the prime minister and the central general, is it really worth it?" Garo asked, a little puzzled.

"Hehe, silly girl, of course it's worth it!"

"I am the emperor of Dayan, and I can give away the two official positions of prime minister and central general, so naturally I can find a reason to take it back."

"Of course, I won't do this unless I have to, after all, Zhuge Liang and Su Lie are both talents, and one is suitable to be prime minister and the other to be a central general!"

Tang Tingbai touched Jia Luo's already bulging lower abdomen.

This is what Tang Tingbai thinks.

My stuff, I can give you.

Of course, if one day, you threaten my interests, I can also deprive them.

Garo nodded, not speaking again.

And at this moment, Li Yuanfang, the commander of Jinyiwei, hurriedly ran to the door: "Your Majesty, King Liang Tangshan is happy to see!" ”

Oh?

What is he doing here?

Hearing Li Yuanfang's words, Tang was stunned.

Liang Wang Tang Shanxi, is Tang Tingbai's fourth uncle.

Dear uncle!

It's just that this fourth uncle has no ability, and he doesn't have any desire to fight for power and profit, and he has always been an idle prince.

Tang Tingbai didn't care about this.

After all, it is impossible for such a person to threaten his imperial power.

It's just that suddenly Tang Shanxi came to him for what?

……

Time goes back to half a month ago.

Kyoto, somewhere in a gambling house.

Tang Ritian, the eldest grandson of the king of Dayan Liang, was gambling money.

Opposite Tang Ritian, there was a personable rich boy, who was smiling at the moment.

"King Liang's grandson, you have already lost 200,000 taels, plus 3,000 acres of land in your Liang Wangfu's imperial village, don't play, besides, you have nothing to lose, right?" The rich boy smiled proudly.

"Hmph, Liu Xiong, don't be complacent, this boy is just bad luck today, isn't it just money? This son has it, this son is the grandson of King Liang, when my grandfather and my father die, this son is the new King of Liang, and this son will be short of money? Seventeen-year-old Tang Ritian's face was full of arrogance.

As he spoke, he turned his head directly to look at the owner of the gambling house: "Liu Laogou, you come over to Ben Gongzi, and Ben Gongzi wants to borrow money." ”

Borrow money?

Liu Ji, the owner of the gambling house, is nicknamed Liu Laogou.

It's a dry, skinny old man in his sixties.

On the surface, he is the owner of the gambling house, but in fact, behind the scenes, he is the eyeliner of the Liu family in Kyoto.

And the handsome son Liu Xiong on the opposite side is the concubine of the contemporary head of the Liu family.

Their purpose today is to set up a plot to deceive Tang Ritian, the grandson of King Liang, into ruin, and make Tang Ritian lose his family.

Of course, none of this is what they are for.

Their ultimate goal is Emperor Dayan, Tang Tingbai!

made Tang Ritian lose his family and even live on the streets.

The Liu family wanted to see Tang Tingbai's reaction, and if Tang Tingbai's reaction was too cold, they would use it as an excuse.

Let the Dayan royal family see the true face of Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, and even make the royal family of Dayan completely hate Tang Tingbai.

In this way, it is possible that some royal families will be ready to rebel.

This is what their Liu family wants.

Although Tang Tingbai has now deprived the vassal kings of their military power, the identities of these royal families are still there.

As long as the Liu family supported some vassal kings who wanted to rebel to successfully rebel, the Xiongnu Empire would send millions of troops to help the vassal king.

That's right, the Liu family had already taken refuge in the Xiongnu Empire.

And the reason why he is ready to support a royal family is also simple.

The status of the Dayan royal family in the hearts of the people is very high.

It is likely that if you raise your arms, there will be a lot of people supporting you.

As for why the target was set on Tang Ritian, the grandson of King Liang.

Then the reason is simpler.

Because this guy is just a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he is idle, eating, drinking, ticketing, gambling, and is a well-known royal waste in Kyoto.

In addition, his grandfather Liang Wang Tang Shanxi has no real power.

Such a person is what their Liu family needs, and it is easy to control!

Liu Laogou, the owner of the gambling house, was excited, but his face was full of embarrassment!

"Hey, don't be joking, King Liang's grandson, a million villains can take it, but ...... But you don't have any collateral, how dare the villain lend it to you? ”

Mortgage?

At this moment, Tang Ritian was already a little red-eyed.

He was originally a brainless guy, and he didn't understand it until now, this is the game that people set up for him.

Not to mention that he borrowed a million taels, even if it was 10 million taels, it was not enough to lose.

"Damn, you old dog, what do you mean? Look down on Ben Gongzi? ”

"This son is the grandson of King Liang, can he give you that little money? This son is a royal family, according to the seniority, the Great Yan Emperor Tang Tingbai is my uncle, and he still needs a mortgage? ”

This......

The owner of the gambling house nodded helplessly: "King Liang's grandson, rules are rules, if you want to borrow money, you have to have a mortgage, not to mention that what you want to borrow is not a small amount, a full one million taels of silver, otherwise you go home and get the money and come back to continue gambling?" ”

Tang Ritian frowned and did not speak.

In fact, the 200,000 taels of silver he lost were already all the silver of the entire Liang Palace.

In addition, he also lost thousands of acres of land in the imperial village.

If his grandfather King Liang knew, a severe beating would be inevitable.

Now, Tang Ritian is counting on borrowing money to return to the capital, and then winning back all the losses will be fine.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Ritian raised his head: "Liu Laogou, this son will press the entire Liang Wangfu to you, do you dare to ask for it?" ”

Liang Wangfu ???
