Liu Wei is indeed more confident than before.

With 100,000 troops in hand, and fierce generals like clouds, he naturally has confidence!

He sat up straight, his eyes were cold, and said, "Although the matter of cutting redundant officials is in charge of Wang Qing's family, it is also a matter of Shang Shutai. Shangshutai should carefully agree, determine the specific list of reductions, solicit the opinions of Yushitai and Jiuqing, and unify thinking and build consensus. This is the national policy of the imperial court based on the large number of redundant officials and the extravagance of the national treasury, not by one person and one temple! ”

The four of them bowed down in unison and listened to the hadith.

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan all know that Your Majesty is giving Wang Yun a platform.

Wang Yun couldn't help but clench his knees with both hands, and his eyes became more and more determined.

Yang Biao's face tightened, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

"Five days,"

Liu Wei pondered in his heart and said: "Within five days, the final list will be determined, announced in a clear text, and then gradually reduced." Wang Qing's family should coordinate the temples, advance in a steady and orderly manner, and don't make a big mess. ”

"Commandment." Wang Yun raised his hand and said.

Liu Wei took in the expressions of the four of them and said, "This matter is settled." Regarding the reform of the division, Shang Shutai personally handles it, especially the transfer of money and grain, and the salt administration, which must be implemented as soon as possible, and I must see the results before next year's summer grain! ”

Liu Wei has an army of 100,000 troops, but he also has money and food to support. The money and food obtained by relying solely on the 'raiding of homes' will not last long, and it cannot be expected to use 'raiding homes' to maintain the operation of the country.

There must be a healthy tax system!

"Commandment!" The four of them raised their hands and answered in a deep voice.

Liu Wei looked at Yang Biao and said: "I am not satisfied with the policy outline submitted by the prime minister, the national government is not the prime minister's alone, the prime minister must convene the courtiers to discuss, comprehensively, meticulously, and co-ordinated, distinguish priorities, rhythm and pace, and cannot do things behind closed doors, ears and eyes are closed." ”

Yang Biao's face was solemn, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister's order." ”

Liu Wei picked up the teacup and said, "Regarding the era name, how many did Shang Shutai choose?" ”

Yang Biao didn't put down his hand yet, and said like a word: "Your Majesty, there are three for the time being, Guangxi, Zhaoning, and Yonghan, please make a decision on your Majesty." ”

Guangxi, it was agreed upon by the courtiers before, and Liu Wei didn't like it very much.

"Zhaoning, Yonghan ......"

Liu Wei groaned and said, "Then Yonghan." ”

"Commandment." Yang Biao said.

Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan have no opinion, this is the era name they agreed upon, and they can choose whichever one they choose.

Pan Yin quietly walked in and handed Liu Wei a notebook, his face respectful and cautious.

Liu Wei glanced at him, opened it, and after a while, he didn't move, glanced at Yang Biao and Wang Yun, put them together, and said with a smile: "Xun Qing's family, is the filling of the state in place?" ”

The four of them were still very curious about this script, but they didn't ask any questions, Xun You said: "It's basically in place, and in a few days, the minister is ready to leave for Jizhou." ”

Ying Shao is the pastor of Jizhou, and he is about to take office, Xun You has to stand up for him and stabilize the situation.

"Okay."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Regarding the salt policy and a series of 'new policies' of the imperial court, the Xun Qing family should make it clear to Ying Shao. ”

Salt politics is related to two places, one is Jizhou and the other is Yizhou.

The book in Liu Wei's hand is from Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou.

"Commandment." Xun Yu Dao. He knew in his heart that the imperial court was now short of money and food, and salt administration was already the first priority of the imperial court!

"Let's talk about something else." Liu argued.

Yang Biao pretended to think, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends Wang Lang, a famous man from the East China Sea, to join the office." ”

Liu Wei was stunned, this was the first time Yang Biao recommended him, and said secretly: This person feels pressure and wants to do something?

After thinking about it for a while, Liu argued: "How about the Luoyang Order?" ”

Yang Biao's small eyes opened slightly, his heart was full of surprise, his face remained unchanged, and he said, "The minister thinks it's okay." ”

Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan looked at him, each with their own thoughts.

The Luoyang Order, in short, is the Luoyang County Order, the Dongdu County Order, you can imagine how special the status is.

The predecessor of Luoyang Ling was Zhou Yi, because this person was not only a member of the General's Mansion but also a protégé of the Yuan family, who was 'put to use' in a series of court battles a few months ago, and later resigned out of fear, and now he doesn't know where he has gone.

Wang Yundao: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Bing Cao, the minister believes that there are many overlapping and overlapping powers and responsibilities such as Hu Cao and Tai Servant, and they must be divided again. ”

For the time being, Bingcao is a logistical organization that raises military funds, manages armaments, and provides support for the armed forces.

Liu argued: "This matter, Shang Shutai collegially played. ”

Zhong Xuan glanced at Yang Biao, paused, and said, "Your Majesty, there are many prisons in Luoyang City, and there are more than ten of them, should they be controlled in a unified manner?" ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and nodded: "What the Qing family said is that except for the Huangmen North Temple Prison, the prisons of all Fu Temples will be abolished, and they shall not be retained or set up, and the heavenly prison is under the direct jurisdiction of Shangshutai, and is not subordinate to Xingcao, Tingwei, Yushitai, etc. ”

Zhong Miao was stunned, he proposed this just to prevent Yang Biao, why didn't he even have his Tingwei Mansion Prison?

But he immediately understood that this was to eliminate the use of prison by powerful ministers to frame opponents and suppress dissidents, and similarly, to reduce torture to extract confessions and unjust, false and wrongful convictions.

"Minister's order."

The four men raised their hands. Such a change is beneficial and harmless, and they have no reason to oppose it.

Liu Wei discussed big and small things with them, and outside the Yongle Palace, Tang Ji finally came out, and was startled when she heard the news of her father's resignation.

"Father, what's going on?" Tang Ji looked nervous.

Tang Mao sighed and said, "I was confused for my father and took money from others. ”

Tang Ji pursed her lips and looked straight at her father.

Tang Mao immediately smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry." The people in the court, who does not accept a little money" As long as you serve Your Majesty well, you will come back as a father in the future. ”

Tang Ji listened, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some blame: "Father, how can you collect other people's money at this time." Do you want to, I will ask the Queen Mother or Her Majesty to intercede......"

"No!"

Tang Mao categorically stopped, immediately looked around, and said in a low voice: "You have to ask Niangniang and Your Majesty for your father, and you must not intercede!" ”

Tang Ji seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and nodded obediently.

Tang Mao knew that his daughter had always been well-behaved, but he didn't worry too much, and instructed: "If the Queen Mother wants to draft for His Majesty, you can't stop it." ”

Tang Ji never thought of stopping it, and responded gently.

Tang Mao explained a few more words, and left the palace full of melancholy.

The original lofty future has turned into a bubble in the water, and anyone has to be melancholy.

When passing by the Jiade Palace, there was a burst of discussion in the Shangshu Terrace.

"Have you heard of that? The prince didn't know what means to use to force Tang Gong to resign! ”

"The prince is really powerful, if he disobeys the queen mother, he can still make Tang Gong resign."

"That's not all, the news from Cao's side says that Xun Shangshu has signed it, and he will start cutting redundant officials tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? Those subordinate officials of the Three Dukes' Mansion are not allowed to fry the pot,"

"Also, I heard that the torture Cao has already arrested people, but if there is any trouble, all of them will be imprisoned......"

Tang Mao listened to it, shook his head, sighed, and went straight out of the palace.

In the Gyeongbok Palace, after discussing for another half an hour, Yang Biao and the other four people left the Gyeongbok Palace.

The four people who went out were all in a good mood.

They almost all got what they wanted, and they were happy.

In the study, Liu Wei sat on the desk, still holding Liu Yan's notebook just now.

In the notebook, Liu Yan said that he was seriously ill and could not go to Beijing to face the saint, so he sent his youngest son Liu Zhang to Beijing to ask for guilt.

Is this using Liu Zhang as a proton?

'There are times when you regret it! ’

Liu Wei knew something, sneered in his heart, and immediately looked at Zuo Li, and said, "Liu Zhang will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and you will send someone to pick him up." ”

"Yes." Zuo Li understood, lowered his head, and said with cold eyes.

Liu Wei threw away this notebook and said, "Let Dian Wei prepare, I will go to Taicang tomorrow." ”

Taicang, which is not only the treasury, not only reserves the money and grain of the Han Dynasty, but also has the right to mint money!

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Liu Wei thought quietly for a while, and there was nothing missing, so he picked up the notebook piled up in front of him and began to read it.

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan returned to Shangshutai and also heard all kinds of discussions.

"In this way, the prince is in power this time, and the prime minister can't compare to it?"

"That's it. Don't look at the position, but look at the things you do, there's nothing to do, no matter how much power you have......"

"You say, is it possible for the prince to be the prime minister?"

"I'll bet on it, sooner or later!"

Yang Biao stood at the door, all in his ears, his heart was annoyed, his small eyes widened, and he shouted: "Is there nothing to do?" ”

The voices of the various duty rooms stopped abruptly.

Wang Yun looked indifferent.

"Shang Shutai Discussion!" Yang Biao's face was full of majesty.

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly.

Wang Yun's sudden rise, this prime minister can't sit still.

Shang Shutai held a meeting for the first time and began to discuss specific matters.

As soon as it opens, it's all night.

followed the busy officials, extremely uncomfortable, and complained bitterly.

As soon as the hour passed, Li Ru, the criminal Cao Shangshu, took people and began to formally seal up the Three Dukes' Mansion, and announced the list of layoffs and transfers.

The people who were transferred were naturally easy to say, and they were classified as 'redundant officials', so they were naturally unwilling to resist in various forms.

Li Ru has an elegant temperament, and he can move his hands unambiguously, and he has arrested more than 30 people in the Sangong Mansion alone.

But what is really lively is not the Sangong Mansion, but in Taichang.

Early in the morning, there were more than 30 officials, large and small, and hundreds of students from Taixue and Hongdumen School surrounded the gate of Taichang and made a lot of noise.

"Why cut us, we are old ministers of the three dynasties, there is no merit and hard work, why do you say that we will be cut down?!"

"We are too students, the cornerstone of the future imperial court, the pillars of the country, how can we drop out!"

"The importance of Chinese culture is beyond the world! Cai Yong, you are also a scholar, if you don't let us study today, we will lift your grave tomorrow! ”

"Hongdu Gate School was established by the first emperor, we are protégés of the Son of Heaven, you are too common, why do you expel us?"

Hundreds of people surrounded it, the sound was noisy, the gate was forcibly pushed down, and the hundred and ten people rushed inside.

The officials who were too often tried their best to explain, block, and block, but the angry officials, the students, and the students of Hongdumen were so angry that they didn't listen to the explanation at all, and roared that they must see Cai Yong.

Cai Yong hid in the distance and said urgently: "Go quickly, transfer the officials everywhere and stop them!" ”

The servant beside him responded, and hurriedly ordered a small official to climb out of the wall to find rescuers.

Too often there are not many errand soldiers, and they can't stop hundreds of people. Moreover, there are more and more people making trouble.

Cai Yong wrinkled his eyebrows, with a solemn expression.

He adhered to Liu Bian's meaning, and carried out a large-scale expulsion of misconduct and messy students in Hongdu Gate School and Taixue, and caught up with the imperial court to reduce redundant officials, which suddenly made a big fuss!

"What should I do...... Cai Yong was a little panicked, and if he continued to make trouble, it would be difficult to end!

"Cai Yong is there!"

Suddenly, someone saw Cai Yong behind the door, pointed and shouted.

For a while, the crowd was excited, and the officials and students who rushed in instantly broke through the barrier and went straight to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was startled, turned his head and ran.

"Cai Yong, don't run!"

Someone shouted, and they didn't know who it was, so they actually threw out an inkstone and went straight to Cai Yong's back.

bang

Cai Yong fell in response.
