Hearing the figures reported by Zhang Tiandao, all the officials widened their eyes in unison.

There were even some people who had never seen the money, gasping, their eyes full of shock.

Because this number is really terrifying, they, who are still well-informed Dayan officials, can't even imagine how much that number is?

However, it must be piled up, right?

Tang Tingbai looked at everyone calmly.

In fact, he had already asked about this number a few days ago.

The reason why I asked again today is to let everyone hear how much money the royal treasury gives to these royal relatives every month.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to say?" Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair and asked calmly.

This......

The civil and military officials glanced at each other.

Prime Minister Su Zhen immediately took a step forward, he was a smart man, and almost immediately understood what Tang Tingbai meant.

The emperor wants to take back the welfare benefits of these relatives of the Great Yan Emperor.

It's understandable, though.

After all, the previous Dayan was in turmoil, and it was necessary to stabilize the hearts of these royal relatives and relatives, and it was reasonable to give more money if they had no power.

But now, Dayan has completely stabilized, and there is no need to please these imperial relatives anymore.

Moreover, it is true that the money given is a bit too much.

Even with the money given to the royal family every month, if they are given these officials, they can do the work of three people by themselves, or even the work of four people.

And to these royal relatives, they only know how to squander.

Su Zhen arched his hand, and his voice was respectful: "The royal family, the old minister feels that the money that the inner treasury gives to the emperor's relatives every month is too much, and the old minister suggests that it should be reduced by fifty percent." ”

Fifty percent?

Tang Tingbai was very dissatisfied with this number, and he glared at Su Zhen.

"Taifu, what do you think?" Tang Tingbai asked coldly.

Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Zhang Song's eyes lit up.

He was a smart man and immediately understood what the emperor meant.

Obviously, the emperor was dissatisfied with Su Zhen's words just now, indicating that the emperor was still dissatisfied with the reduction of fifty percent.

"Your Majesty, the money that the royal family gives to the emperor's relatives every month is indeed too much, and the minister thinks it should be reduced by eighty."

Probably?

Tang Tingbai did not speak.

Although the figure of eighty percent is not bad, it is still not the answer in Tang Tingbai's heart.

He was just about to ask Zhuge Invincible.

But at this time, the group of princes couldn't stand it anymore.

"Zhang Song, are you farting? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, the emperor gives us money to our royal relatives every month, that is our royal family's own business, and it is also the money of the royal treasury, which is earned by our royal family itself, and has nothing to do with the household department and Dayan, what kind of thing are you, you dare to say that you cut us by eighty, do you want to die? ”

"That's it, when Su Zhen said that we were cut by fifty percent just now, we didn't speak, do you think we're scared?"

"Zhang Song, you'd better apologize to us princes immediately, otherwise we will definitely not let you go."

“……”

Many princes spoke one after another, their faces full of anger.

The only one who didn't speak was Fuwang Tangshanhe.

Obviously, Tang Shanhe knows his own emperor too well, and he is ruthless to his enemies, even more ruthless to himself, and even more ruthless to his own family.

Obviously, Su Zhen and Zhang Song's words were what Tang Tingbai wanted to say.

The faces of the princes were full of anger, and even some of them had already bare their arms and sleeves, ready to make a move.

Zhang Tiandao snorted coldly, without fear: "You princes still dare to do it?" You are just the imperial relatives of Dayan, according to the laws of Dayan, even if the emperor's relatives attack my Dayan officials, it is a dead word, what are you doing? Besides, it's a waste for the royal family to give you so much money every month, raising a bunch of waste. ”

Zhang Tiandao spoke mercilessly.

The rest of the officials also spoke.

Obviously, they have long been dissatisfied with these royal relatives who have a huge amount of money from the royal family.

More than a dozen princes and dozens of officials quarreled directly, and that guy swore with each other, not at all like a Dayan official and a Dayan royal family.

Looking at this scene, Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair and still didn't speak.

The two sides quarreled for more than ten minutes, and their faces were red.

However, both sides also maintained a certain level of sanity and did not make a move.

It is a capital crime for the relatives of the Great Yan Emperor to attack the officials of the Great Yan.

And the officials of Dayan violently beat the relatives of Emperor Dayan, which is also a capital crime.

Although these people have no power, they still have a royal identity after all.

On the dragon chair, Tang Tingbai saw that everyone was already arguing, and he cleared his throat: "Okay, don't make any noise." ”

Hearing Tang Tingbai's words, the two sides immediately stopped arguing.

In fact, they didn't want to quarrel for a long time, but the atmosphere was there, and if they quit halfway, it would mean cowardice.

Tang Tingbai looked at the officials in Dayan with a gloomy face, and his voice was cold: "Look at what kind of system you have become one by one?" In the Xuanzheng Palace, it is like a shrew scolding the street, which is simply a shame on the face of your Confucian and Taoist scholars. ”

And the civil officials of Dayan lowered their heads in unison, not daring to speak, a little ashamed.

Similarly, when they heard Tang Tingbai reprimanding Dayan's officials, those princes all laughed.

They feel that the emperor is surnamed Tang after all, after all, he is his own family, although the relationship between the two sides is not very good, but at the critical time, the emperor's heart is actually towards his own family.

And at this moment, Tang Tingbai looked at the dozen or so 2 princes, his voice was even colder, and there was even a little disgust in his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that these were his elders, maybe Tang Tingbai would have done it directly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Is it funny?"

This......

The princes looked at each other, and they were all blinded.

What's going on?

Isn't the emperor on their side, why did he suddenly start scolding them?

Tang Tingbai stood up, his voice extremely cold.

"I give you so much money every month, I want you to benefit the people, you are the royal relatives of Dayan, you represent the royal family of Dayan, you represent the face of Dayan, but see for yourself what you have done during this time?"

"Greedy for pleasure, wine pond meat forest, where is there still the appearance of the Dayan royal family?"

"Look at the soldiers who went to the battlefield, those brothers who fought bloodily, they are all the sons of ordinary people, they can die for Dayan, even if they die, the pension is only a few hundred taels of silver, and then look at you, take a million taels of silver every month, let you go to the battlefield, let you fight to the death, do you dare? Do you have that courage? ”

"To tell you the truth, if you use this money to rebel, I won't be angry, I will think you have backbone, but what about you?"

"In addition to squandering is squandering, where do you still have the appearance of the Dayan royal family? The face of the Dayan royal family has been lost by you. ”

Hearing this, more than a dozen princes hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

I don't know what to say.

If they used the money to rebel, maybe Tang Tingbai wouldn't be like that, right?

Taking a deep breath, Tang Tingbai looked at the Fuwang Tangshan River.

"Tang Shanhe, you are Dayan's military department, and you are still my third uncle, should you take a stand on this matter?"
