Fengtian Temple.
Mu Bai fought against all opinions and knighted the head of the Li family, showing the decisiveness that a great business prince should have.
Li Zi stood quietly in the main hall that night, saying nothing from the beginning to the end.
In the palace, after the officials learned that the method of finding coal mines came from the Li family, their last excuse for opposition was gone.
In recent years, cold winters have become longer and longer, charcoal has risen, and the situation of not being able to burn charcoal has become more and more serious. The people are miserable. If the Mineral Resources Department had not discovered the open-pit coal mine, the winter for the people of Dashang would undoubtedly have been even more difficult.
Therefore, if the method of finding coal mines really comes from the Li family, there is no doubt that the Li family has done a major event that will truly benefit the present and future generations.
Thinking about it now, they thought it was strange two years ago that the Fourth Prince suddenly wanted to set up the Mining Department. Now, everything can be explained.
His Royal Highness set up the Mineral Resources Department, and the Li family was responsible for coal desulfurization. The two parties cooperated and gained both fame and fortune.
"It's really amazing."
In the court, many ministers were filled with emotion after figuring out the key.
The Li family had a way to find coal mines, but they never mined the coal mines themselves to make huge profits. Instead, they gave this benefit to the royal family, or to be precise, to the fourth prince. It seemed like they were losing money, but in fact, they were extremely smart.
The law of Dashan clearly stipulates that private individuals are not allowed to mine minerals. Although no one knew about coal mines before and it was not clearly written into the law, if the Li family was blinded by profit and mined coal privately, the court would still have countless people. This method can punish the Li family.
On the contrary, the Li family gave this benefit to the fourth prince. The Li family naturally got the desulfurization business. Although they made a little less money, they avoided a lot of trouble and effectively pushed the fourth prince towards the throne of prince.
Now, the fourth prince supervises the country and has become the de facto prince of Dashang. The Li family has undoubtedly become the biggest winner, winning in one fell swoop.
While thinking, the ministers looked at each other, and the last objection in their hearts was completely wiped out.
His Majesty may have known about this, so he ignored everyone's objections and gave the Li family the hereditary position of Marquis of Wanhu.
In the middle of the hall, Li Ziye saw the expressions of the ministers and smiled without saying anything.
The old fox Emperor Shang definitely didn't know about this. The old guy wanted to use the title of marquis to push the Li family to the opposite side of the court officials. Unfortunately, things couldn't go as he wished.
"Your Majesty, this robe of yours seems a bit familiar."
In the hall, Lu Siqing noticed the robe on the young man in front of him and asked curiously, "Did you wear this robe when you answered the three questions from the envoy of Tianyu Hall in front of Fengtian Hall?"
At first, he had spoken several words with this little guy, and he had some impression of this robe.
"Master Lu has a good memory."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "It is indeed this robe. Today's occasion is more formal, so I chose this robe."
"It's so fast. In the blink of an eye, four years have passed."
Lu Siqing said with emotion on his face, "I vaguely remember how impressive the prince was when he faced the envoys of Tianyu Palace. A great talent like the prince really shouldn't be buried in the market."
"Lord Lu, you are too complimentary." Li Ziye bowed his hands and said politely.
Beside Lu Siqing, Zhang Qizheng heard the conversation between the two and glanced at the young man in front of him again, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
It is rare for a young hero to be arrogant without relying on his talent.
In this way, it is not unacceptable that the Li family is qualified to be hereditary.
At least, when the title of the Li family is passed on to Li Jiaoxi, there will be no situation where the other hereditary nobles are inferior to each other.
Just when the matter of the Li family's ennoblement was finalized in the court.
In front of the Shou'an Palace, a shadow guard walked quickly, entered the palace, and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, Professor Li started a class at the Taixue Palace yesterday, and publicly passed on Tai Chi Jin to all the students of the Taixue Palace."
On the dragon bed, Shang Huang was half leaning on the head of the bed, with his eyes closed, and he said calmly, "It's just a piece of martial arts. If you pass it on, you can pass it on. It doesn't matter."
Although most of the martial arts of the aristocratic families are in the sects, some are among the people. However, the martial arts techniques are not so easy to learn.
Without the words and deeds of the elders, without the help of heaven and earth treasures, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to embark on the path of martial arts.
If you can't learn the technique, it's just useless paper.
"Your Majesty, this technique is different."
Shadow Guard said solemnly, "Students from Taixue Palace have learned all the moves of Tai Chi Jin in one day."
"one day?"
When Emperor Shang heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Is this true?"
"Absolutely true."
Shadow Guard said solemnly, "Many students from Taixue Palace immediately passed Tai Chi Jin on to their families after returning home. The slaves have also seen Tai Chi Jin's moves and mental methods. It is indeed easy to master."
While speaking, the Shadow Guard presented the copied Tai Chi technique to him.
Shang Huang took the technique and took a quick look, his expression getting darker and darker.
Oops!
For a martial art that is so easy to learn and is spread in this way, it is conceivable that before long, there will be no one in the world who does not know the power of Tai Chi.
The common people hold heavy weapons and are undoubtedly a huge threat to the court.
Moreover, the Li family will also win the hearts of the people in the world because of this matter.
It is already troublesome enough for the master of the world to have a Confucian leader. Now, if another third son of the Li family appears, the prestige of the royal family will be gone.
"His Majesty."
At this moment, outside the main hall, the second shadow guard quickly walked into the hall and saluted respectfully, "The court meeting has just ended. His Highnesses, the Fourth Highness, defied all opinions and made the head of the Li family the Marquis of Wanhu. He also gave the Li family the hereditary title. privilege."
"How did the officials react?" Emperor Shang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked.
"The opposition was fierce at first, though."
The Shadow Guard responded, paused slightly, and replied truthfully, "Later, His Highness the Fourth Prince said that the idea of establishing the Mineral Deposits Department and the method of finding coal were taught by Li Jiaoxi, so the officials did not continue to object."
"What did you say?"
When Emperor Shang heard the answer from the shadow guard in front of him, his heart sank and his face completely darkened.
wild ambition!
Does the Li family want to force the royal family into a corner?
Returning to the world is definitely not what a businessman's family should have!
At the same time, Li Ziye walked out in front of Fengtian Palace, looked back in the direction of Shou'an Palace in the distance, and smiled coldly.
When the enemy retreats, we advance. This is the rule.
Since he had entered the situation with his own body, and even gave up his previous idea of never becoming an official, he had no intention of taking a step back.
Before, the royal family had always suppressed the Li family with the help of one dynasty. Now, it is time for the Li family to rely on the hearts of millions of people to counterattack the royal family.
Old fox, the offense and defense have changed. Are you ready?
