Ye Chunqiu did not expect Ye Jing to give any good advice, but when Ye Jing carefully explained his insights, Ye Chunqiu suddenly felt enlightened.

Ye Chunqiu did not expect that his father actually mentioned the most fatal problem, that is, the replacement of the cabinet. The royal family is inherited by blood, so it belongs to an extremely stable community of interests. However, the cabinet is completely different and has no continuity. After all, the cabinet is capable, and the various prime ministers have very different styles of military and political governance.

So, how can we ensure that after the Ye family followed Li Dongyang to attack the royal family and became enemies with the royal family, the newly appointed Chief Minister of the cabinet believed that the royal family was no longer a burden to the court, so we joined forces with the royal family to attack the Ye family?

Things in the world are inconsistent, who can tell them clearly?

This question is indeed very important. It is as smart as Ye Chunqiu, but he has always ignored it.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel awe at Ye Jing at this time. He was in the mountains and did not expect this most important joint. If it weren't for his father's reminder, this huge hidden danger might even be fatal to the Ye family.

At this time, Ye Jing continued: "What my father said was the interests of the family, which was a private relationship, but what about Yu Gong? Nowadays, the local gentry annexes the land everywhere, and they did not have to pay taxes. Even if they were to give up the royal family's salary, the court was just drinking poison to quench their thirst. In public opinion, the biggest disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family may be one, but the real hidden danger is still the gentry."

Ye Jing looked at Ye Chunqiu seriously and said, "Our Ye family is a gentry. Chunqiu, a scholar, once he was a scholar, even if he was originally poor, he soon had thousands of hectares of fertile land. Why is this? After all, scholars and gentry took advantage of such privileges and joined forces with farmers to exempt them from taxes. Now, the rich do not pay taxes, but the poor need to support the court. In the long run, the rich become richer, and the gentry families have more and more land, while those who pay taxes and corvee labor have become fewer and fewer, and the vast majority have become refugees and tenants. Does the court still want to rely on these people to supplement the shortcomings of the treasury?"

"The problem lies here. Now this is a hidden danger. Fifty and one hundred years later, this is the fire of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. In Liaodong, this is generally the same, and it is also the place where my father is most worried. Ordinary farmers only have a few acres of thin land at home, but the tax is very heavy. When it comes to slack farming, they have to be transferred to labor service. Once they suffer from disaster, they have to sell land to survive. But the rich have always had fame and fortune at home, and their relationship with the government is also close. They do not have to pay taxes or bear very little taxes, but once they encounter disaster, they encounter disasters, and they do not have to pay taxes or only bear very little taxes.

In 2018, they would not suffer losses, but instead could take this opportunity to acquire the land of the poor at the lowest price. How could this continue? The court has been difficult to return to the point of prosperity. Although the peace is now, it is a sign of a prosperous era. However, this disadvantage has been revealed and is becoming more and more serious. There are so many land in the world. However, the annual taxes of the court can be collected by the poorest people, and the people's wealth and ointment are all pressing on these people. This is ridiculous."

"Now... since the world needs to change, how can it change better? This is public opinion. The gentry does not pay food and the royal family needs to provide support. These two are major concerns. The two harms are the least. The royal family and the country can still slowly take it, but the fundamental hidden danger will be completely over. Yu Gong said that the Ye family should promote the pros and cons and eliminate the future troubles of the Ming Dynasty."

Ye Jing said this, but he changed the subject and said, "A few days ago, King Zhou prepared a book for his father."

"Ah..." Ye Chunqiu never expected Ye Jing to have such a truth. This is the benefit of being alone. Because he is alone and taking charge, he can see things more clearly.

Ye Chunqiu knew that Ye Jing was urging him to cooperate with the royal family, but when Ye Jing heard Ye Jing talk about King Zhou’s writing, Ye Chunqiu couldn’t help but say, “Father, what did King Zhou’s writing this time?”

Ye Jing walked and said with emotion: "One thing is said is marriage. Do you still remember someone who wanted to join the father and His Highness of the Princess? That princess is His Majesty's dear aunt and a royal family. The King of Zhou wanted to implement the integration of the red and Ye. He did not agree to his father before, but today, he was moved by his father."

Speaking of this, Ye Jing looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply.

Ye Chunqiu was surprised and wondered if he wanted another stepmother?

But isn’t my father’s favorite mother not his mother? From his poems and memories, what he always carries in his heart is that simple and virtuous woman.

However, Ye Chunqiu still thought of the biggest possibility. Ye Jing finally had this plan, but in fact he wanted to sacrifice himself and fulfill the Ye family.

Of course, it is not actually a sacrifice. It is just that Ye Jing’s relationship with his biological mother, Ye Jing must have thoughtful and felt extremely guilty about his decision.

But all of this is for the Ye family. To be precise, my father is for himself.

Ye Chunqiu understood this and couldn't help but sigh. But he was also very clear that once this marriage was completed, Zhu Ye would take it seriously. He and Zhu Houzhao became sworn brothers, and his father married the princess. Coupled with the recognition of the royal family and the subsequent enthronement, this completely declared that the Ye family would also get the same status as the royal family.

Ye Chunqiu was speechless, not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, Ye Jing said: "Why, you don't like having a stepmother, do you?"

"No." Ye Chunqiu shook his head quickly and said, "My father is old and there should be someone around him who knows the good and the good. His princess is gentle in character, and his son is too happy. The King of Zhou must be very happy after receiving his father's reply."

In fact, Ye Chunqiu has always respected his father for Ye Jingxuxian. He respected his father's deep love for his mother, but the embroidered lady is no longer in this world. In his selfish heart, Ye Chunqiu also hopes that there is someone who can take good care of his father by his side.

Ye Jing pursed his lips and smiled, but laughed a little bitterly, saying, "It's unknown, but I guess I've been busy these few days."

The so-called busyness is definitely a lot of people who will come quietly to cultivate feelings, and then the next step is to establish an offensive and defensive alliance relationship.
