‘The cabinet’s memorial must be completed tomorrow!’

Zhu Xu said so secretly in his heart, nodding seriously and said, "Okay, it's only ten years!"

The old concubine's face looked better, and she turned to look at Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "You inform them all overnight to make them feel at ease. The royal family is unstable. What else can be stable in the world? Let me tell them again, don't make any trouble when you go to the palace. The emperor has always been safe in doing things, so that they can stay honestly, and no one wants to force them to death..."

Empress Dowager Zhang responded, looked at Zhu Xu again, attracted Huan'er, and gave him a few words of advice.

Huan'er responded and hurried out and arranged for someone to spread the news.

Zhu Xu stood there without saying anything. The old concubine was clearly saying that she was very relieved to show him. The old concubine was standing by him.

When Huan'er left, the old concubine looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Okay, emperor, just have your attitude. The old woman can't live for ten years, and I can't see anything in the future, but I still have to meet Emperor Shenzong, just give me the right to meet..."

Zhu Xu's mouth moved, and he was afraid that such a thing would be the end of the day, and he would not be able to resist.

Empress Dowager Zhang was a little more generous and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, you must be careful when you have snacks on this matter. It's late, go back and rest early."

Zhu Xu felt the heavy pressure and heard this, "Old concubine, the emperor sister-in-law, you should rest early, I will stare at the cabinet and let them settle the matter early."

The old concubine nodded, but wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu both stood up quickly and followed Zhu Xu to leave Cining Palace.

Zhu Xu has been spending the night in Yuzao Palace recently. Li Jieyu knew more or less what Zhu Xu was thinking. He followed him and looked at Zhu Xu and said with some concern: "Master, isn't this a difficult matter?"

Hai Lanzhu was erect and was a little cautious, and her face was even more worried.

Zhu Xu glanced at the two of them, smiled and shook his head, "Just inside just now, I comforted the old concubine and the emperor's sister-in-law. The cabinet basically agreed, but it was still a bit imperfect, so I rejected it. If I did this just now, I am afraid that the cabinet would be anxious and would have to hold a meeting overnight."

Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu then breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Xu slowly paced and suddenly looked at Hai Lanzhu and said, "Do your sister mean to enter Beijing?"

The due dates of Hai Lanzhu and Bumubutai are both next March, so it is somewhat inappropriate to put them outside.

Hai Lanzhu looked at Zhu Xu and opened her eyes and said, "No, Bumubutai wants to stay in Nanzhili."

Bumubutai is different from Hai Lanzhu. She considers more. Although she does not object to entering the palace, she does not want to. As long as Zhu Xu doesn't speak, she won't come.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and did not speak. Jinyin Village needed someone to preside over it. The Ming Dynasty literati were too pedantic and opposed many foreign trade. But Bumu Butai had more flexible methods and could implement his ideas and will. At the same time, his identity was obscure, which would make many opposing people stand by.

While Zhu Xu was walking, the news outside the palace slowly spread.

"You said that the old concubine forced the emperor to promise that if the cabinet cannot come up with a policy that convinces us tomorrow, this matter will be pushed to ten years later?"

"Isn't that equivalent to being invalid? That's great!"

"If this is the case, it would be really good. You said, can we increase our fortune? Life is not easy now..."

"I think it's OK. Isn't the cabinet going to 'reduce the title'? If the 'reduce the title' fails, we will increase our salary!"

The Ten Princes' Mansion, some princes gathering places in the east of the city, received a message from the old concubine and Empress Dowager Zhang, and they became lively. They were talking and talking, but soon they started to sing.

"Look, is that Zhou Shangshu's carriage?"

"It seems that is, is it Mr. Sun Ge's behind? Hey, there is also Mr. Shen's carriage. What's wrong with that?"

"Hehe, don't you understand this? The cabinet is probably anxious. The cabinet is most concerned about the 'rejection'..."

"Sure enough, King Lu was also called into the palace. Now the cabinet must have a good show..."

"Hey, is that the King of Jin? Are there more than a dozen people, all royal princes? They were also called into the palace..."

"Is the cabinet going to take a gamble..."

Some laymen who watched the fun all emerged, and the discussions were everywhere, rising and falling, spreading all over the capital.

At the same time, the cabinet was brightly lit, and Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, King Jing, Sun Chuanting, Wang Qiaonian, plus the six ministers, King Lu, King Jin of the Zongren Mansion, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others who had not left the capital were also called in.

There was a empty position in the middle of Zhu Xu, and Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong sat opposite each other. Beside them were King Jing, Sun Chuanting, Wang Qiaonian and others, and so on, they were all senior leaders of the Ming Dynasty and even decision-making levels.

Everyone has a steaming tea cup in front of them, and a carbon stove just ignited behind them, and the warmth is spreading.

But everyone's face was full of condensation and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

The issue of "reducing titles" has been brewing for a long time, and no prudent policy has been released. Today, the discussion has not yet come to a result. Now the emperor is "forced" to meet his promise in the harem, and the heavy pressure falls into the cabinet in an instant.

Bi Ziyan touched the teacup with one hand and said in an extremely indifferent tone, "Do you all know the news from the palace?"

Everyone couldn't sit still, and no one answered, and the scene was a little stiff.

Sun Chuanting had just entered the cabinet today and had not recovered from his fatigue. He looked around and continued: "The six cabinet ministries have basically formed an agreement on the issue of 'reducing titles', that is, they must be implemented, but the specific methods are still being studied. You must know that the attitude in the palace does not mean the emperor!"

Sun Chuanting's voice was gentle and he added accent in the end, obviously to set the tone for the cabinet's topic.

A group of people were not unfamiliar with Sun Chuanting, and they all had their own thoughts when listening to his words.

To say "unity", it is also the emperor's "unity". The "reduction of titles" is the emperor's intention, and it is a kind of "default" formed under the pressure of the emperor.

There are three princes here, namely King Jing, King Lu, King Jin, King Jing is the auxiliary minister of the cabinet and the governor of the government. King Lu is the Zongren Mansion and the Zongren Mansion. King Jin has no position, and represents the royal princes outside the palace.

The three princes all had their own ideas, and the cabinet's "reduced title" would inevitably involve them.

The cabinet structure is a bit strange, and it is not mature enough. After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, no one spoke for a while. There was no fun during the day at all, and a heavy pressure was free to be spared.

Sun Chengzong glanced, frowned, and said, "I have read the previous document, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate. This official proposes that the 'reduced titles' be carried out in batches. It is expected to be completed in 50 years, and a fifth of the reduction will be reduced every ten years. The cabinet will report to the Ming Emperor that within 50 years, thirty hereditary princes and princes will be retained. The cabinet will also increase the salary of the royal family as appropriate, and at the same time, the restrictions on the royal family will be relaxed. In addition to joining the army and entering the officialdom, no restrictions will be restricted. You can own land in Annan and other provinces. For the royal family who have contributed to the country, you can use vassals, have fiefs, and even guards..."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they listened to Sun Chengzong's words, even if it was Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting was like this!

This is too much concession, and many things are more sensitive, which violates the "ancestral system" and the current emperor's regulations!

Bi Ziyan and others were so surprised, and Prince Jing and others were even more surprised.

Not only will there be a 50-year buffer, but there are still thirty still in the fifty years. The most important thing is that they have relaxed their restrictions. Except for not being able to enter the government and join the army, everything else can be done! As for the vassals and fiefs, they are all very moved!

This is a great news and a surprise!

King Jing and King Lu were still able to control themselves, but King Jin poked his head out, looked at Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan and other auxiliary ministers, and said in a tremolo voice: "Ge Lao Sun, is what he said true?"

Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan and said, "Not bad!"

Bi Ziyan frowned and wanted to speak, but Sun Chengzong's face could not be refuted at this time. At the same time, he understood more that these words were definitely not Sun Chengzong's idea, and they were probably from the Ganqing Palace!

Sun Chuanting would also come over now, and hesitated on his face as he thought carefully about Sun Chengzong's words.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Sun Chengzong looked at Prince Jing, King Lu and King Jin again, and said with a gaze, "The three princes are the highest-ranking members of the royal family. I wonder if there are any other opinions?"

The three kings felt the pressure given by Sun Chengzong, looked at each other, then remained silent and thoughtful.

The conditions given by Sun Chengzong were indeed much more generous than those given by Bi Ziyan and others at noon today, but for the royal family, it was only a matter of time before they could be "reduced". The "hereditary and unsubstituted" was decided by Taizu, so that the descendants of the Zhu family could be free from their worries for generations. How could they easily abolish them?!

Bi Ziyan was unwilling to give in. These royal families are now maggots. The Ming Dynasty could no longer afford to raise them and could not continue to let them suck blood and swell!
