Tang Yi went to Tianguanfu. No one knew what he had talked to Yang Bo. But after that, Tang Yi was in charge of the cabinet and handled ordinary government affairs with peace of mind. There was no movement at all. After delaying for three days, Shuntian Mansion could not withstand the pressure and secretly released all the arrested royal families, which made Yang Bo angry and asked for leave.

In addition, Ge Shouli and Gao Yi, among the nine ministers, three important officials gave up their choice.

Longqing didn't care about the beautiful pictures, and he couldn't enjoy it. Taking advantage of the night, he only took the eunuch Chen Hong to the cabinet. A long distance away, he saw Tang Yi's office was brightly lit. Master Tang was working hard!

Without alarming anyone, Longqing arrived in front of the duty room, pushed it away gently, and walked in.

"Put down the broth."

Tang Yi lowered his head and continued to look through it. His movements were very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, he drafted more than a dozen memorials, but there were still mountains of memorials there, which seemed to be endless.

"Oh, it seems that I have to stay up all night again." Tang Yi stretched and looked up, and saw Longqing standing at the door. He stood up in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Tang Yi wanted to salute, and Long Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support him, pulled Tang Yi and sat down.

"Master Tang, you and Master Chen are the only ones left in the cabinet. Thank you for your hard work. I must take care of myself. My country is counting on my master." Long Qing said, his eyes turned red, and he was very reluctant to leave.

Tang Yi's old face turned red, Zhu Zai'er, Guawazi, I'm digging your family's ancestral grave! Tang Yi just thought for a flash and quickly smiled: "Your Majesty, I have been deeply favored by two generations of emperors. I have entered the cabinet to assist in the government, worked hard to do my best, and I dare not be careless at all. What's more, the country's government is now in chaos and reform is difficult, so I dare not carry it at all!"

Longqing nodded, "I see the hard work of the master. The two hundred years of accumulated problems, finance, administration, military system, royal family, gentry, land, industry and commerce... are all in chaos. I really don't know how the master survived."

"Everyone works together. Now Zhang Ge Lao has implemented the implementation of clearing the land in the southeast. It has achieved some results. There is no need to calculate tax-free land in the future. It will be easier to investigate. As long as you have the determination, I think that the land tax can be sorted out in one or two years. As for the matter on Jiubian, Tang Ge Lao also sent the investigation results. He believed that military status should be abolished and military households should not be lost. He proposed to imitate the village heroes in the southeast to set up a patrol department in Jiubian and recruit young and strong military households. The court should give weapons and food and pay to guard local security, and then arrange elite soldiers to be stationed in the fortresses to maintain strong pressure. As long as the grassland is used to raising sheep for a living, and no longer pick up a scimitar to rob, the border will be peaceful."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "The only thing left is commercial tax. To be honest, this is the most difficult. It is not easy to find a place to pilot it. However, I think there are always more solutions than difficulties. I will find a suitable method. Please rest assured."

Listening to Tang Yi's introduction, Long Qing was relieved, "I can rest assured that the master is so beautiful."

After chatting for a while, after watching the third update, "Master Tang, I won't bother Mr.

He got up and wanted to leave, and Tang Yi saw him off from behind.

When he arrived at the door, Longqing suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Master, you really have nothing to do, want to tell me?"

After all, Tang Yi couldn't hold it in, and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you are here just for the royal family, right?"

Longqing said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid the master has seen it a long time ago. I am indeed worried about this matter!"

As soon as he turned around, Longqing sat back on his original position.

"Master Tang, I didn't know it before, but after reading the memorials of Lin Run and Zou Yinglong, I realized that the royal vassals are all over the world, spending seven or eight million stones of rice every year, and annexing more than tens of millions of land. People often say that people are not satisfied with their hearts and snakes swallow elephants. They have already taken so many benefits, why don't they stop? One day, the Ming Dynasty will have to eat them up and they will lose it. When I think of this, I can't sleep all night!"

Tang Yi looked solemn and sighed: "Your Majesty was worried about the country, which is a blessing for the people of the world, and I don't want to hide anything anymore. As the saying goes, "Don't be separated from relatives, after all, it is the flesh and blood of the Tian family. As a minister, it is not appropriate to deal with it no matter how you deal with it. Although the amount of money and rice consumption of Your Majesty's royal family is huge, if the new policy is successful, the annual income can increase by tens of millions of taels per year, and this hole may be filled. I think that a movement is not as good as a quiet person."

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he observed his eyes and saw that Long Qing's face was as heavy as Qiu Shui, and he was obviously dissatisfied with such a negative approach.

"Master Tang, I remember you said that Wang Anshi was defeated by his failure in the reform. He did not dare to solve the problem. The Northern Song Dynasty's redundant soldiers and officials were too busy to make ends meet and financial difficulties. Wang Anshi did not dare to reform the administration and cut off useless soldiers. As a result, he thought of using the power of the court to make up for money. The result was that the public was resentful and completely failed. Although I was not sensitive, I also knew that since the founding of the country, the royal family had increased more than a hundred times. No matter how much the imperial taxes increased, if the imperial family could not keep up with the expansion speed of the royal family, it would sooner or later be exhausted, not to mention that the gentleman's fortunes were exhausted for five generations. It was actually impossible to say that he was a clan relative. For them, he would waste the precious wealth of the imperial court. I thought it would be absolutely impossible!"

Longqing's reasoning made Tang Yi startled. It seemed that his disciple was not that stupid. Tang Yi was so frightened and said hurriedly: "Since your Majesty is like this, I will do my best to deal with the affairs of the royal family and live up to your Majesty's trust."

"I'm here to master!"

...

The next day, Tang Yi immediately ordered the civil servants of the court to actively offer suggestions and rectify the vassal matters.

Longqing also issued an order personally to seek good advice.

Seeing that the emperor and the cabinet had this attitude, civil officials who had long been unable to control themselves wrote letters, and the big guys had all kinds of ideas, and they all had different ideas.

Some people even proposed to demote all vassal kings who had been passed down for more than five generations to common people and remove vassal states.

Of course, this proposition is too radical and is thrown aside after taking a look.

Chen Yiqin was responsible for sorting out opinions from all parties, and finally summarized nearly 60 opinions and sent them to Longqing. Each of these more than 60 words was quite lethal.

For example, the first one is Lin Run's suggestion. He believed that most of the vassal kings raised thugs, servants, and even took in outlaws, and the organization was far beyond the amount of guards that the royal palace should have. He proposed to reduce the number of guards in the royal palace to 200, servants, servants, and maids, and not to violate the system.

When the number of people was controlled, the expenses of the royal palace were reduced. Lin Run suggested that when the vassal kings were in the vassal state, the court had already granted large areas of land, tens of thousands of which were the most, and thousands of which were the least. The income from land rent was enough to maintain the expenses of the royal palace, so Lumi should be abolished.

Fatty Xu also came up with an idea. He believed that among all dynasties, the Song Dynasty had the most appropriate handling of the royal family. The Song Dynasty's royal family could participate in the imperial examinations, enter the court as an official, and relied on their own. He suggested that all preferential treatments for the royal family be cancelled, and schools were set up to allow them to participate in the imperial examinations and engage in different industries.

The children of the royal family are just a noble title and have no power, and the court does not have to bear any price.

After Xu Wei's suggestion was spread, all the children of the royal family in Beijing cried.

What a joke? They have lived a pampering life for two hundred years. Apart from eating, drinking, having fun and bullying people, they have no ability to take the imperial examination? Besides, after ten years of hard work, how hard it is, they have hung their heads on the beam and pricked their thighs. Thinking about it makes people feel numb and chill.

We don’t want to take the exam, we need the current treatment and we must not reduce it!

How about the emperor? You are also from the Zhu family. Can you still harm your relatives?

The royal family members in Beijing gathered together again, and there were three or five hundred people who came one after another recently. Each of them brought a lot of thugs and got together, thousands of people.

I ran to the street all day to cause trouble, and stopped the carriage of an official when I encountered it, cursed, and beat him.

After the Ministry of Rites finished the quarrel, they ran to Honglu Temple and Taipu Temple, and some people were clamoring to see Longqing.

They made the capital a mess, and from top to bottom, offended all the people they could offend, and everyone hated them so much that they were itchy.

It's okay to just cause trouble in the royal family in Beijing. The Hanzhong Prefect Shen Shixing sent a secret report. He said that the report was that King Yi gathered seven or eight thousand desperadoes and practiced all day long, as if he wanted to plot against him.

Moreover, King Yi was also a grand prize show girl, and he selected more than 700 people at one time, enriching her to the royal palace.

This one is the most fatal. After Longqing saw it, he was so angry that he was so crazy. He was even more capable than me!

If I don’t deal with you, I will not deserve to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

He was really angry. Even Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji, who were resting in the home, called him, the cabinet, the six ministries, and all the senior officials of the Censorate gathered in the palace.

Longqing was full of murderous aura, "I uphold the kindness of my ancestors and treat the royal family with preferential treatment. However, they did not understand my painstaking efforts, but instead made ill-planned plans. They are no longer my relatives, but traitors, traitors, and everyone can punish them!"

The emperor was furious, and the officials present had enough, even the honestest people tried to punish the royal family severely.

But what to do? For a moment, everyone didn’t know what to do. If those dozens of suggestions were really implemented, the whole world’s royal family would start to make trouble, and the ground would be filled with smoke and wars!

"Sir, you are resourceful, come up with an idea." Yang Bo said with a smile.

It’s this old guy again, you can’t let me watch the show for a while!

Tang Yi said helplessly: "The emperor and nobles, dragon sons and grandsons, must not be neglected. We ministers, we cannot put Your Majesty in an unjust situation. I think it is better to select a group of smart and capable chiefs of the royal palace to manage all the affairs of the royal palace. We are responsible for the security of the royal palace, manage the land and land for each royal palace, and select maids of the royal palace, and also manage marriage and funerals. Those who have outstanding political achievements can be promoted to the six ministries, or are governors or inspectors to do things."

Can a prince’s chief be sent to control the vassal?

Some people haven't understood it yet, but some people smelled it. In the past, there were also chief officials in the royal palace, but that was done by down-and-out officials. I sent it over and gave it to me, and I had very limited power.
