There were many troubles, time always passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the winter of the fourth year of Longqing was again. With the new year, there was less than a month left. Ordinary people's homes had to take a look at it. The huge Ming Empire was no exception. Tang Yi asked the ministries to summarize the achievements and shortcomings of the year. He also took three days off, closed the doors and reflected on himself.

To be honest, I have been taking over as the Prime Minister for more than a year, and I can’t produce much of the truly commendable achievements. All reforms have just begun or entered the critical stage, but they have not achieved any results. The biggest achievement is that they have destroyed the Jin Party and pulled up all their confidants. Is this my pursuit?

Tang Yi shook his head with a wry smile. He was irritated. Fortunately, he walked out of the study and walked to the back garden. When he arrived at the door, he regretted it. It was already winter, so what could you see? Look at his mind, it was all blurred.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly heard two coughs.

"Why, I just don't like me?"

Following the sound, I happened to see my father standing in front of a pine tree. He looked a little lonely, and Tang Yi secretly scolded him for being damned.

I hurriedly walked closer, "Dad, it's too cold here, it's warm when I go back to the house."

Tang Shen shook his head, "No need, my father's body is not that delicate, so do you. He is cold outside and has a clear mind, so he won't be confused."

Why, my dad's tone is not good?

Tang Yi hurriedly said, "Dad, the child is really too busy. He has long been talking about going to see you, but in the end, one thing in the cabinet is next to another, the child deserves to die..."

Tang Shen waved his hand, "Okay, your father is also Mu Shou, I know how busy he is, let alone you take care of the huge court. I won't blame you for this."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Oh, Xingzhi, my father really doesn't know what to say?" Tang Shen hesitated.

"Just say whatever you should say. Just like when I was a child, even if you don't like it and slap it twice, the child dares not refuse to obey."

Tang Shen smiled angrily, "You, when did I hit you when I was a child? When your mother was there, she protected you. When your mother left, I was even more reluctant to hit you. People say that a filial son comes from a stick, and my son doesn't need to be beaten, but he still stands tall and upright. When he was thirty years old, he went to the cabinet to be the prime minister. Not to mention that it was unprecedented, it was rare in ancient times and present. Dad is proud!"

Tang Shen said that he was happy and pulled Tang Yi to a stone table. Tang Yi put the fox fur he was wearing on the stone pier.

“I dress thickly, not cold.”

Tang Shen looked at it, reached out to bring another pier over, and spread the fox fur on the two piers. The two men sat side by side, just like when they were young, the two men sat down to memorize the book. Tang Shen read a sentence, and Tang Yi followed him and wrote it down again.

"Zhizhi, you have been smart since childhood. When you were in your teenage years, your mind was very bright and unmatched. It is your kid's credit for our Tang family to be so prosperous."

Tang Yi agreed, nor did he agree, so he had to keep his head down and not speak.

"Oh, Dad doesn't want to talk about the past today, I just want to ask you what to do in the future?"

"From now? Are you always?" Tang Yi didn't know what his father was thinking.

"It's so cold at a high place!" Tang Shen suddenly sighed very much, "My son, there are some things you don't need to hide from your father. You are just a few months away from the current emperor. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has never lived long, but today he is lustful again. It's rumored that he can't live long!"

Gudu!

Tang Yi swallowed and spitted, and his father was really brave enough to say it.

In front of his father, Tang Yi did not hide it, "Dad, although the legends outside may not be correct, our Your Majesty is a long-lived person. Speaking of which, the child is also responsible. I have tried my best to satisfy the expenses in the palace in recent years. It is also the "Ten Beautiful Pictures" and the "Hundred Flowers Book". His Majesty is getting more and more fun, and he has secretly followed Teng Xiang to Fanzi Hutong."

"What?"

Tang Shen was really shocked and his voice changed, "Zhengzhi, that kind of place is so dirty, can the emperor go to?"

"Dad, I don't know, but if I am now, I will inevitably offend those villains in the inner court after persuading me, and even make Your Majesty unhappy. If you don't persuade me, you can't watch Your Majesty act recklessly and damage the dragon body. I have no choice but to arrange people secretly to ensure that the people you contact with are fine, and it's also difficult for your son!"

Tang Shen thought for a while and understood Tang Yi's difficulties and empathized with him. "This is exactly what my father is going to say today. My son's authority is better than the chief ministers of all generations. He has kindness and prestige, and he has commanded all officials. No one dares not to obey..."

Yes, Tang Yi has become the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying.

After changing the subject, Tang Shen said worriedly: "If Your Majesty finds it difficult to support him, he will definitely not be at ease with me. What should I do at that time?"

If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries. Tang Shen is idle and always worry about his son every day.

Longqing has been in the throne for four years and is over thirty years old. There are few emperors of the Ming Dynasty who can be over 40 years old. If something happens to Longqing, with the current status of the Tang family, once the new king succeeds to the throne, Tang Yi will be the youngest veteran of the three dynasties, and the chief minister with great power is countless times more terrifying than Yang Tinghe back then.

Tang Yi not only had a huge power in the capital, but also had an unparalleled reputation in local officials, military commanders, and even merchants and civilians.

To be honest, there are definitely more people in the world who know the top scholar in Tang than Emperor Zhu!

Cooking oil in a blazing fire, blooming flowers, and prosperity will inevitably decline...

"Dad, you've always thought a little far away?"

"Not far!" Tang Shen shook his head decisively, "You can't get into a sedan chair and look at the ears and eyes. It will take many years to make a layout!"

Tang Yi's eyes turned rapidly and he suddenly nodded vigorously, "Dad is right. When the next September 8th, I will kill the flowers after the flowers bloom. We should start now!"

thump!

This time it was Tang Shen's turn to fall down, "Boy, what are you going to do?"

Tang Yi looked innocent, "Didn't your old intention to rebel?"

"Bah!" Tang Shen was so angry that he spat at Tang Yi, "Don't tease your father. Everyone said that there is no better father than his son. If you had the intention to rebel, you would have been on the verge of war long ago. Why did you delay it until today? Dad meant that we should leave a way out. If the reform fails, we should learn from Fan Li, not Shang Yang!"

I have to say that my father has made great progress over the years. Others have seen prosperity, but he smelled danger. Tang Yi rarely became serious. According to history, Longqing only had two years of good life. Although he didn't look like he was not far from death, things in the world were unpredictable and how could he say it accurately.

Tang Yi did prepare a lot, but he did not make any arrangements for Longqing's death. I have to say that this is an omission.

"Don't think that the six ministers and nine ministers are all their own people. The governor Dao County is obedient and obeys the orders, so you can rest assured. After all, the emperor is the true dragon emperor, not an ordinary person!"

The words moved Tang Yi more and more humble.

"Dad, what are your ideas? Just tell me, my son listen carefully."

"What can I do?" Tang Shen smiled bitterly: "You can't afford to mess with me. Don't you often say that eggs cannot be kept in the same basket. It's too dangerous for both of us to stay in the capital."

"What do you mean by old age..."

"Find a reason and let me go." Tang Shen said simply.

"Where to go, southeast, or northwest?"

Tang Shen shook his head and cursed with a smile: "You are also confused. What is the difference between those places and capital? I want to go overseas!"

"no!"

Tang Yi refused decisively, just kidding, how much risk is overseas, there are natives, insects and snakes, and Western barbarians. Just by not being able to adapt to the environment, you can kill yourself. Only those who commit crimes will be exiled overseas. How could he bear to suffer from his father?

What's more, Tang Shen is no longer young and is traveling across the ocean. If there is a little mistake, he will not be heartbroken by Tang Yi.

It is inevitable to plan overseas and leave a way out, but there is no need to let my father go, his confidants are!

Tang Yi was stubborn, but unexpectedly, Tang Shen was even more stubborn.

"Yes, no one is trustworthy than your father! Besides, after I went to sea, I not only left you a way out, but also saved others from threatening you. I kill two birds with one stone, so why can't I do it!"

"It's just not possible. If you make a mistake, will your son still have the face to live in the world? Going overseas is not an outing. This time, when you go to Jeju Island for trade, a ship did not sink, and more than a dozen sailors either fell into the sea or got sick, died on the sea, and they were not even found in the body!"

"Your dad won't be so unlucky!"

"I don't want to take risks!"

...

The more the two of them quarreled, the louder the noise, and finally they parted in disagreement. Tang Yi returned to the study angrily. Where did the father who followed the advice back then run away?

The older ones, the more stubborn they become, and the ancients did not deceive me!

After being angry for a while, Tang Yi regretted it again. His father was actually afraid of it, but he was reluctant to let his father go out to fight for his life.

What should I do?

He had no idea for a moment. He turned around and the holiday was over. Tang Yi thought about going to the cabinet to take a look and turned around to apologize to his father.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the cabinet, he saw people talking in groups of three or three, and when he saw Tang Yi arrive, he quickly shut up his mouth.

"Luo Wanhua, what happened?"

Luo Wanhua couldn't hide, so he had to approach Tang Yi and whisper: "Master, Your decree is to be punished by the Chief Li Yi."

"What are you doing to beat him?" Tang Yi asked.

"He, he wrote a letter to dissuade Your Majesty from buying jewelry. Your Majesty did not listen and had already pulled the man out of the Meridian Gate."

Tang Yi's face changed. He had long been strict with orders. The censors of the Ministry of Justice must be targeted and should not talk nonsense casually. When it comes to admonishing the emperor, Tang Yi even formulated a process, requiring that the Censor and above should be approved, and then handed over to the cabinet. After facing the emperor, the result should be submitted to the person who wrote the letter. It is not allowed to write to the letter at will, so as not to cause estrangement between the king and the ministers and suspicion due to misunderstandings.

To put it bluntly, Tang Yi just didn't want to follow Xu Jie's old path. He was caught between the emperor and the censor and was not a human being. However, Li Yi actually crossed the cabinet and wrote a letter directly. It was really hateful!

Tang Yi was furious and didn't bother with their troubles. However, at noon, Luo Wanhua came and quietly told Tang Yi that Li Yi was beaten to death... (To be continued.)
