"Why did you beat him to death!"

Tang Yi waved his hand and asked Luo Wanhua to withdraw and locked himself in the payroll room.

Tang Yi would not be so irritable, but he would see more than others and could smell a strange smell. Since he was in charge of politics, his greatest efforts were to improve the status of the civil service group and establish the confidence of officials.

Correspondingly, officials with inflamed self-confidence will definitely not be willing to surrender. There will only be more and more conflicts with the emperor and the emperor's minions.

The requirement to resolve the vassal issue is an example, and Li Yi's case is probably another one now.

I don’t want to follow Xu Jie’s old path, but I just went further than Xu Jie and had a more direct confrontation with the imperial power. How to deal with it... It’s really not an easy thing!

Tang Yi thought about it for almost half an hour before he asked someone to hand over the sign and ask for a meeting with Longqing.

If someone dies, he will go to the emperor to argue with the rule, otherwise he will be the leader of all officials.

When Tang Yi arrived at the Ganqing Palace, he obviously felt a moment of solemnity. The eunuchs and palace maids changed their faces and color. His eyes kept floating, and he seemed very frightened and uneasy.

Longqing quickly invited Tang Yi to go in. When he got inside, he found three eunuchs Teng Xiang, Chen Hong and Feng Bao kneeling on the ground, especially Teng Xiang, whose forehead was swollen and his face was swollen, and his other two looked bad. Longqing's face turned pale and his hands were still trembling. When did he see Tang Yi arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Tang, these beasts are really hateful. I, when will I let them kill someone?"

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient." Tang Yi smiled faintly, "The common people often say that a slap can't be slapped. I just want to ask about the situation and let the father-in-laws explain it clearly. The world is great and the truth is the most. If Li Yi really came, I would not dare to shelter him and would be willing to take the crime together."

Longqing was even more frightened, "The master worked hard for the country, so where did the mistakes come from? These servants were all bastards and misfortune!" Longqing asked someone to bring a chair.

Ordinary ministers can only stand in front of the king, and those who are respected have a stake. As for Tang Yi's chair, they are backrests, and all the civil and military officials in the court, only he and Gao Gong are treated like this.

After sitting down, Tang Yi smiled.

"Eunuch Teng Xiang, you can talk about it first."

"Yes!" Teng Xiang looked at Tang Yi, saying that he was not afraid of it being a joke. He rushed out for the matter of the Beijing Camp for no reason, but the result was that the soldiers and generals were almost driven out of the palace. He couldn't raise his head for a long time. Don't look at Tang Yi's smile, this is a full-faced tiger, dark!

"Reporting to the prime minister of Tang, I dare not hide it. The New Year is the fifth year when Your Majesty is in power. People will celebrate the fifth and tenth families. How can the emperor be a vassal? Next year, the fourth prince will be granted a vassal king. According to common sense, there must be rewards in the palace, and Empress Li will also give treasures to show that it will spread the branches and leaves and brighten the bloodline of the Tian family. How can the sermon not be handled by the major events of the two joys? I have already drafted a note and sent it to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue has detained it for more than a month. I have not criticized the silver and said it, but also encouraged the censors to write a letter, called advice. In fact, they have hidden evil intentions. They don’t take the emperor seriously at all. I am so angry. Who is the country of the Ming Dynasty?

"Enough!"

Long Qing slapped the table suddenly and said furiously: "Teng Xiang, I asked you to buy jewelry, but the court is difficult and the national treasury is empty. As the chief of the Secretariat, do you not even know about this?"

The emperor was furious, Teng Xiang buried his head in his chest and his whole body was trembling.

But Tang Yi looked at it, but he shook his head slightly. His good apprentice would also be scheming.

Longqing has been the emperor for four or five years and is more and more able to play. There are more and more people in the palace and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger. He is pretending to be a black-faced person with Teng Xiang, and he cares about his own money!

Thinking of this, Tang Yi smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, the country has been in trouble this year, and the Ministry of Revenue has strictly restricted its expenditures. Perhaps it was because of neglecting the palace. I apologized for the Ministry of Revenue."

"Master Tang, why bother you! I know it's not easy for me, and I'm not ignorant..."

I just wanted to spend some money, but Longqing didn't say anything.

Tang Yi was calm and confident, "Your Majesty, it's not enough to leave the Ministry of Revenue. However, I have a sum of silver here, not much, 200,000 taels, and I want to offer it to Your Majesty."

Two hundred thousand taels, but it’s a lot. Teng Xiang asked the Ministry of Revenue to take out only 180 thousand taels!

"Master Tang, how did this money come from?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you send a fleet to North Korea and Annan some time ago to open up markets?"

"I know, can you make a profit?"

Tang Yi nodded, "I made some money, and the combined trade volume between the two places is about 15 million taels."

"Sold so much?" Longqing immediately became interested, "Master Tang, how much did the imperial court make?"

"According to ten, one is one million taels, the tariff is one million taels. After deducting various expenses, it can be about one million taels. However, compared with the Western Yi's trade volume that often exceeds 100 million, the tariff of tens of millions is still a drop in the bucket, which is too much worse."

Tang Yi must make it clear. Don’t think that you can get a bargain and ask for it. The court is still very difficult.

"Tariffs are to be entered into the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, but the imperial court opened up markets on Jeju Island and Cam Ran Bay. In the future, new ports, warehouses, inns, markets, etc. Not to mention every inch of land in the future, it will not be too much different. The land opened overseas naturally belongs to my emperor. The 200,000 taels are the rent this time, and there may be more in the future. I think this money will be included in the accounts of the palace!"

Oh, Longqing only felt that his heart was blooming, but Master Tang still loved me. He glared at the eunuchs fiercely.

It is said that a gentleman loves money and gets it well. Tang Yi found a way to make money openly and continues to continue in the future. However, these servants only know how to act arrogantly and force the Ministry of Revenue to pay for money. If they are not satisfied, they will beat people to death. Isn’t this ruining my reputation?

The more Long Qing thought about it, the more angry he became. He let the prime minister and the important officials not use it, and insisted on listening to the instigation of a group of eunuchs. What's wrong with me? I felt guilty and had a fever in my face.

"Master Tang, Li Yi is also loyal to the court in charge. I just let him beat him twenty pieces. Who knows, who will die! I, I regret it! Let's do this, I posthumously award Li Yi as the Minister of the Taipu Temple, Yin Yizi as the Jinyiwei, and 5,000 taels of silver for burial. What does the master think?"

Tang Yi took a deep breath, "Your Majesty is kind, I will serve Li Yi as a family, thank you for your great kindness."

...

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Tang Yi looked solemn and did not feel happy at all. The state affairs were like a mess. He was originally planning to use the money to hire mercenaries to insert two nails on Jeju Island and Cam Ran Bay to further open the doors between the two countries.

Now I have to use it to coax Longqing, even the most kind and weakest emperor, it is difficult to change his insatiable habits.

What's more, the emperor is weak, which does not mean that the imperial power is weak. None of the eunuchs around Longqing are good at it. Tang Yi believes that Longqing doesn't want to kill anyone, but as long as he orders to beat him, he can beat him to death no matter twenty sticks or just one stick. This power will be controlled by several inner court masters.

Teng Xiang and the others said it nicely, for Longqing, for the fourth prince, and in fact, it was for themselves.

If they leave the public account and the clear account, they will lose the opportunity to start.

To threaten the Ministry of Revenue and kill the censors, it is to create terror and take the opportunity to ask for it. Two hundred thousand taels are nothing, but if you don’t curb this momentum, two million taels or twenty million taels are not enough!

I thought that if I overthrew the Jin Party and unify the court, I would be more idle, but in fact the real struggle had just begun.

My father’s worries are right, and we must leave a way out. In fact, it is not just a way out, but a power of checks and balances. If necessary, if the reason does not make sense, we rely on the fist!

Looking at the court, both civil and military officials have been tamed for two hundred years. Take the confidant generals like Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang for example. Although they obey their orders, they felt it was impossible to raise the banner to rebel.

I hope that I am still overseas. Only those who have no bonds and white paper can use it at will. Only those who are Yangming’s mind can develop without restrictions. No matter what it is, use it if it is suitable, throw it away if it is not suitable. The same is true for the emperor. Heaven is the king, I am the king Er, and I am the king Er. All over the world, I am the biggest!

If you want to do such a big thing overseas, you must have talent and you must have full trust and unreserved kind... He originally put his hopes on Xi Muyun, but this guy is ambitious and brave. In addition, he also has the Dongting Mountain Gang behind him, and his foundation is strong, so he may not be able to listen to him.

The rest of the people like Maohai Peak are all from grass-roots and are not worth mentioning.

After all the calculations, my father is the most reliable, but he is reluctant to let his father take risks. He is really in a dilemma and has lost ground!

Tang Yi was very upset. He had just returned to the duty room. Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji, Chen Yiqin and others came. Tang Yi said the matter in its entirety, including the 200,000 taels of silver...

"It's outrageous!" Gao Gong blew his beard and glared, "Your Majesty is kind, and those eunuchs are lying to do anything, and they dare to kill the ministers. The signs of eunuchs interfering in politics have come out again, and I will never agree!"

Zhao Zhenji also said: "It is far from enough to pursue the rewards. The culprit must be severely punished. If Yuan Fu feels it is inappropriate, he will ask me to go to the emperor for his reasoning."

"Go together, go together!"

Gao Gong stood up and was about to leave. Tang Yi slapped the table and said, "Stop!"

The two big guys slammed for a moment and stopped. When they looked back, they saw that Tang Yi's face turned pale and looked very bad. Gao Gong gasped and said, "What are the teachings of Lord Yuan Fu? Just say it."

"Duke Zhongxuan, Duke Dazhou, you are all respected old ministers. Have you experienced fewer storms? You have to force Your Majesty to choose between ministers and eunuchs. Is this the way to do things?"

Tang Yi always felt that the stupidest woman was constantly asking men, who would she and her mother fall into the river, who would she save first?

Keep making the other person ugly and keep forcing the other person to make difficult choices. Once or twice, sooner or later will be bored. Even if the relationship is deep, it will not be able to withstand the toss and troubles.
