"What are you doing? How do you behave in the court?" Xue Jingruo didn't know what happened, but when she saw the actions of the ministers below, she immediately stood up angrily.
Thinking that they despised the court.
She, the queen mother, dares to do this while she is sitting here. If she were not here, wouldn't it be a disaster?
"Empress Dowager, are you okay?"
Ma Yuheng spoke up, and everyone else looked up. Seeing Xue Jingruo's expressionless face, they were suddenly shocked.
This is the oppressive power of a great master.
The Queen Mother was a woman, but she didn't feel anything at all.
Is it possible that she is also a great master?
How can it be.
If this were the case, the Xue family would have risen long ago, so how could they be controlled by the Mu family.
Suddenly, their bodies shook.
Because even Lin Xu's face next to him didn't change.
If they hadn't been under this terrifying pressure, they would have thought that Mu Jiushan had failed to take action for too long.
But how can we explain the situation in front of us?
In fact, not only the officials, but also Mu Jiushan himself had a change in his expression.
His momentum was formed by fighting enemies on the battlefield, and a timid person might even be scared to death.
Not even a trace of Lian Yi's expression could be seen, which made other people in the court so embarrassed.
But Lin Xu, who was in the center, didn't react at all. Could it be that I am really weak?
"What's the meaning?"
Xue Jingruo frowned and looked at Ma Yuheng with her beautiful eyes.
"this..."
Ma Yuheng hesitated, Mu Jiushan was angry now, what if he was beaten to death in anger for what he said.
Fortunately, Mu Jiushan regained his momentum, but still had a dark face: "Your Majesty, are you forcing an old minister to rebel?"
"Mr. Wu Guogong, you are worrying too much." Lin Xu shook his head and said: "What I mean is that since you don't want to give money to buy food, then I can pay for it!"
"But my move requires soldiers and horses."
"I have no choice but to borrow military power from Duke Wu."
"Your Majesty, you can tell me if you have anything to do. You are the most powerful person in the world, so why do you need to do it yourself?" Mu Jiushan said calmly.
"Haha, that's right. In that case, you will come to Ningyuan Hall after the court, and I will tell you in detail then." Lin Xu chuckled.
"I think so too, but I'm afraid some people won't agree!" As he said that, Mu Jiushan glanced at Xue Jingruo.
In the absence of Xue Rong, his henchmen did not dare to be too showy, but Queen Mother Xue Jingruo, being Xue Rong's daughter, would definitely stop her.
However, what surprised Mu Jiushan was that Xue Jingruo's expression did not change and she seemed to have acquiesced.
Seeing that the Queen Mother did not respond, the people on Xue Rong's side couldn't sit still.
They had already been tied to the Xue family and allowed Mu Jiushan to contact the emperor privately. How could this be done?
If something went wrong, they would be doomed.
But the Duke of Zhen was not here, so it was normal for His Majesty to summon his ministers, so how could they stop him.
Ma Yuheng's face was ugly, and he suddenly walked out and saluted: "Your Majesty, I think that the people are suffering from disaster, and we ministers are also responsible."
"How can we let Duke Wu bear the responsibility alone?"
"I propose that the remaining military supplies and food be shared among all ministers."
"To show my determination, I would like to be the first to donate."
This move seems to be to help Mu Jiushan, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that.
This was Ma Yuheng's plan to prevent Mu Jiushan from meeting the emperor privately.
Although this is not a small sum of money, it is still acceptable if it is spread among everyone.
What's more, they have countless ways to get back the money they lost.
Let’s get through the immediate difficulties first.
The others were not fools, and quickly figured out the reason for Ma Yuheng's move.
So they all saluted to express their willingness to support.
Among the rest, only the generals headed by Mu Jiushan have not expressed their stance.
Mu Jiushan stared at Lin Xu. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was being used.
Lin Xu had never planned to meet him. The reason why he said it in public was to force Xue Rong's people to express their stance.
Civil officials have expressed their stance, if they haven’t taken action yet.
It is equivalent to handing the handle to Xue Rong's gang members.
Finally, he took a deep breath and saluted: "Old minister, I am also willing!"
"I agree."
Duke Wu Guo has agreed, and the remaining generals who have not expressed their opinions also agree.
"Haha, great, everyone is happy. I would like to thank you all for the millions of victims!"
"Retreat!"
Lin Xu grinned and helped Xue Jingruo leave.
...
Jiuli Pavilion, conference hall.
There are dozens of people sitting here at this time, and they are all the elders of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce.
Sitting in the first place is a middle-aged man with white hair. He has distinct features and a thin body. His eyebrows are somewhat similar to You Jiuli's.
"President You, I wonder why the lady summoned us?" A Jiulige elder asked in confusion.
You Changqing shook his head and said: "I don't know, but since Jiuli did it, something must have happened. Let's wait first."
Although You Changqing has handed over Jiuli Chamber of Commerce to You Jiuli to take care of it.
But in the eyes of insiders of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce, President You has always been You Changqing, and they will only call You Jiuli Miss.
At this time, You Jiuli walked into the conference hall.
Today she is wearing a long black dress, like a black rose.
There is a hint of charm in the coquettishness.
Her outfit was obviously not suitable for the scene at this moment.
However, the rose has thorns and is black and calm.
Therefore, You Jiuli exudes a very determined temperament.
Even the pace is much more steady than usual.
"The lady today seems a little different?"
Many elders present had watched You Jiuli grow up.
Although You Jiuli has been in charge of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce for some years, she is still a little girl in front of them.
But at this moment, she has changed, becoming more mature and more like a president.
You Changqing's eyes lit up, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
My daughter finally grew up.
Immediately, his eyes became a little complicated.
A person has changed so much in just a few days. It's hard to imagine what Jiuli has gone through.
It must be very painful and uncomfortable.
You Jiuli glanced at everyone in the conference hall, took a deep breath and said, "Hello uncles and uncles, Jiuli has summoned you today to announce something important."
"I have decided to sell off all the properties of Jiuli Chamber of Commerce and Jiuli Pavilion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall instantly became silent.
Everyone looked shocked.
Jiuli Chamber of Commerce has risen from the private sector and has endured countless hardships, including facing bankruptcy countless times.
But even so, no one has ever thought of selling Jiuli Pavilion.
"Miss, what happened? Why don't you tell us first and let's think of a solution together."
"Yes, if it's money, I still have some here that can be used for emergencies."
"Jiuli Pavilion is the home of all of us, how can we just sell it?"
"In case of emergency, we have no objection to selling off the property. Only Jiuli Pavilion cannot be touched."
...
All the elders spoke out one after another, with a tone that left no room for doubt.
The industry is easy to talk about. As long as the Chamber of Commerce is still there, it will come back sooner or later.
But Jiuli Pavilion is the root of the Chamber of Commerce. If the roots are gone, the Chamber of Commerce will cease to exist.
How can they accept it.
Jiuli Pavilion was built little by little by countless of them.
What is the difference between selling off Jiuli Pavilion and taking their lives?
No, you can even lose your life, but nothing will happen to Jiuli Pavilion.
Let alone You Jiuli, even You Changqing is not qualified to make the decision.
