Han family achievements

Chapter 119 The Confident Emperor
Xun You and Zhong Yao subconsciously looked at each other.

Xun You pondered, and said, "I heard that Duke Tang is in the palace."

They didn't know why Tang Mao suddenly changed his attitude, but the reforms of Captain Sili had stagnated, and Tang Mao's inaction was the first reason.

Zhong Yao didn't want the court to go to war in his heart, so he said, "Let's see for now."

Xun You nodded. The most important thing now is to reduce redundant officials.

Inside Wang Yun's value room.

Li Ru already knew the cause and effect, he looked uplifted, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a great event!"

Wang Yun thought about it, and said: "The three princes' mansions are all mediocre officials, and corruption is rampant. Tomorrow, you will personally take people there and confiscate their seals."

Li Ru said with a serious expression: "The next official takes orders."

As soon as the words fell, he heard footsteps outside. Li Ru paused, turned around and went out, and immediately came back, saying in a low voice: "My lord, Your Majesty has returned to the palace. He just passed by the Jiade Palace. It seems that he is going to the Yongle Palace." .”

Wang Yun's eyes sank slightly, but he didn't speak.

Yesterday, Empress Dowager He reprimanded him face-to-face for the subordinates of the General's Mansion and General Cheqi's Mansion.

He didn't bow his head, and Empress Dowager He was furious.

A trace of solemnity appeared on Wang Yun's face.

Li Ru didn't know what to say, Queen Mother He was the Queen Mother after all, if she insisted, His Majesty would have nothing to do.

Inside Yongle Palace.

Empress Dowager He was chatting with Tang Ji and Tang Mao, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very good.

Obviously, Empress Dowager He likes Tang Ji.

Empress Dowager He held Tang Ji's hand and said with a smile, "When Tang Meiren has an heir, everything will be complete. The provincial palace is worried all day long, and can't even sleep..."

Empress Dowager He is most worried about Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie.

Tang Hao sat upright, worried in his heart, with a calm smile on his face, and said: "My lady said that since ancient times, children are more important than everything else, let alone your majesty."

Tang Ji's pretty face flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips.

After the Empress Dowager He finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Tang Mao and said, "I heard that Mr. Tang went to Wang Yun's room just now?"

Tang Mao's heart skipped a beat, his thoughts changed sharply, and he said with a smile, "Yes. After all, I'm a subordinate official. It's not appropriate to have a conflict with the prince..."

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly, interrupted his words, and said: "Then Wang Yun even contradicts me, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager He looked unhappy, Tang Mao felt even more entangled, but still bit the bullet and said: "My lady, the prince... After all, it is for the sake of state affairs, and I think it is indeed imperative to 'reduce redundant officials', but there are some methods... "

Empress Dowager He was already angry, but when she saw her in-laws speaking for Wang Yun, she couldn't help but turn cold.

Tang Ji quickly interjected, saying: "Queen Mother, what Father means is that this is His Majesty's state affairs, and the prince may have misunderstood the holy will."

"Yes Yes,"

Tang Mao was extremely nervous, tried his best to maintain a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, that's what I mean."

Empress Dowager He was so angry that she was about to speak when she raised her eyes and saw Liu Bian coming in from the outside. She straightened her face and said, "You still know you're coming back? You also know that there is a queen mother!"

There was anger in his tone, and a hint of grievance.

Holding a box of dim sum in his hand, Liu Bian stepped forward and said with a smile, "This is the dim sum from Helou outside the palace. The queen mother loves it the most. I bought it specially."

Empress Dowager He looked at the delicate dim sum held by Liu Bian, the corners of her mouth moved, and she let out a cold snort, and reluctantly took it.

Seeing Tang Ji, she got up and made way.

Tang Mao lowered his head, his eyes were flustered, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Liu Bian didn't look at him at all. He sat next to Empress Dowager He, waved his hand, and said, "Queen Mother, I know about it, so I will vent my anger on Queen Mother. Pan Yin, you go to Shangshutai now, and reprimand Wang Yun in public and contradict the Queen Mother." , dare to act recklessly!"

Before Pan Yin could respond, Empress Dowager He quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, and said, "Forget it, it looks like I'm stingy to reprimand him. You will take care of it in the future. Don't go out to play all the time. If Tang Ji is not enough, mother will give it to you later." How many people do you choose..."

This sentence made Tang Hao and Tang Ji change color.

"It's still my mother who understands me,"

Liu Bian glanced at Tang Mao, and pretended to think: "My queen, is it because of those two uncles? Who came to intervene? I just crossed out those who need to be protected, so why bother my mother?" Come out in person."

Empress Dowager He opened her mouth to speak, but seemed to think of something suddenly, frowned, and said hesitantly: "There is no special person, those people in the General's Mansion, please be kind to them. Cheqi General's Mansion, you, give it all Let it go."

Liu Bian stared at Queen Mother He, his eyes flickering slightly.

He had long noticed that the Empress Dowager He was a little unusual in the matter of He Jin, but after searching and searching, he found nothing.

Liu Bian approached calmly, and said in a low voice, "Queen, is there anything inconvenient to say?"

Empress Dowager He immediately said: "Is there any inconvenience for Empress Mother?"

As she said that, she got up suddenly, took the snack brought by Liu Bian, and said, "If you have nothing to do, go back early, the queen mother is still waiting to hold her grandson."

Before Liu Bian could speak, Empress Dowager He left by the side door.

Liu Bian half-closed his eyes, wisps of light jumped out.

'What is it that even I can't say?Want to avoid me? '

Liu Bian was sure that Queen Mother He had hidden some secrets, which might be related to him.

Tang Mao bowed and said suddenly, "Your Majesty, I'm confused, please punish me!"

Liu Bian took the teacup Tang Ji handed over and took a sip.

Tang Ji was a little surprised, what did her father do?
Liu Bian glanced at him indifferently, got up and walked out, saying: "Tell Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Yao to the study room of Jingfu Palace."

Tang Mao leaned on the ground, seeing Liu Bian ignoring him, he became more and more disturbed.

Tang Ji was even more puzzled.

After Liu Bian left, she helped Tang Mao get up and said, "Father, what's the matter?"

Tang Mao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Father is confused."

Knowing that he still had to rely on this daughter, Tang Mao glanced around and pulled her out of Yongle Palace quickly.

As soon as he went out, a court lady came over quickly and said: "Tang Meiren, the Empress Dowager has an invitation."

Tang Ji pursed her lips, looked at Tang Mao again, and turned back.

Tang Mao couldn't take his eyes off Tang Ji's back, the corners of his mouth twitched again and again, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.

"Duke Tang." At this moment, a light and crisp laughter sounded behind him.

Tang Mao turned around, saw that it was Zuo Li, hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Your Honor Zuo."

'Now you know how to raise your hand? '

Zuo Li felt cold in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Tang, there is a saying in the court that it is true that the court wants the court to directly govern the Sili."

Tang Mao's eyes widened instantly, his face turned pale, and he was so stiff that he didn't know what his expression was.

Sili is directly under the jurisdiction, but there is no need for the captain of Sili!

Seeing his expression, Zuo Li felt extremely refreshed, and left slowly.

……

Jingfudian study room.

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Yao saluted and took their seats.

Sitting opposite them, Liu Bian looked at Wang Yun who was among them, who seemed to be far away, obviously isolated, and calmly lowered his head to pick up the teacup, with a flash of a smile in his eyes.

He took a sip of tea, then looked at Wang Yun, and said: "Wang Qing's family don't have to worry, the empress mother's anger has calmed down after my persuasion."

The way Wang Yun looked at Liu Bian was quite different from before, as if he was looking at a sage, he raised his hand and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian sized him up, glanced at the other three from the corner of his eye, and suddenly said, "Wang Qing's family, have you thought about it, why did you come to this point?"

Now Wang Yun felt that Liu Bian was extremely tall, he was an unprecedented wise king, bowed his body, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, it is because of my lack of thoughtfulness and incomplete actions, which caused the government and the public to stir up trouble, and people's hearts fluttered. Please punish me. "

Liu Bian didn't care what he thought, and said, "Today is to discuss the matter regardless of the crime."

After speaking, he looked at Yang Biao again and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Yang Biao put on a chubby face, contemplating, and said: "Your Majesty, I think it was due to lack of preparation in advance and haste afterwards. Reducing redundant officials is a very important matter, and we should plan it slowly."

Xun You listened, and looked at Yang Biao in surprise. These few words were to the point.

Liu Bian shook his head directly, and said: "My opinion is that Wang Qing's family only focused on drawing up the list of cuts, and did not have an in-depth study or understanding of the court situation and system. Those that should be cut were not cut down, and those that should not be stopped were just blocked. Therefore, the government and the public complained and condemned with words and pens."

Xun You and Zhong Yao couldn't help but look at each other while listening.

His Majesty's words seem to make sense, but there seems to be something in the words.

As soon as Wang Yun was about to raise his hand, Liu Bian looked at him and said, "Everything must be done in a layered and step-by-step manner, and you can't just swallow it all in one go. Major state affairs require careful consideration. If you don't think carefully, you will fail, and if you don't do it carefully, you will fail."

Wang Yun was also a little dazed. Liu Bian's words seemed to be a reprimand, but also a lesson.

Yang Biao, who had been watching coldly, blinked his small eyes. He felt that Liu Bian's words today were different from usual. It seemed that he was more... confident?

In the silence, Zuo Li quietly came to the door, bowed, and silently nodded with Liu Bian.

Liu Bian sat up a little straighter, and said: "The restructuring of Sili has been delayed for a long time, and Tang Mao resigned to take the blame. I am determined that Sili will be directly controlled by the imperial court."

Almost everyone was shocked.

Tang Mao has resigned, and the imperial court directly governs the Sili?

Yang Biao, Xun You, and Zhong Yao looked at Liu Bian, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Yun.

Wang Yun still raised his hand, staring at Liu Bian's face, startled again and again, not knowing what to say at all.

The four of them were full of imagination.

Xun You and Zhong Yao looked at each other, and said inwardly, "Your Majesty is really dissatisfied with the stagnation of Sili's reform." '

Seeing that they were silent, Liu Bian picked up the teacup, saw that Wang Yun was still raising his hand, and said, "Wang Qing's family, what do you want to say?"

The corners of Wang Yun's face twitched, and he said, "I would like to abide by the hadith."

Liu Bian hummed, looked around at the four people, and said, "The most important tasks of the imperial court today are four words: increase income and reduce expenditure! Cut redundant officials, and unshakable. The reform of money and food transfer and salt administration must not be stopped! Sili is a 'new system' Going first is the most important thing, all nobles, you must work together to help the country, get rid of bad governance, and rejuvenate the great man!"

"The ministers are waiting for the decree!" The four raised their hands in unison and bowed.

At this moment, they all noticed that His Majesty, who had returned from outside the palace, had a high-pitched tone and sonorous words, and seemed to have extra... confidence.
