Liang Jing also wanted to be tough. As an emperor, he was confused and could still be influenced by these ministers!
Can't you have an opinion of your own?
Although Taifu Liu stood up, he still did not panic, but looked very calm.
"Your Majesty, you can no longer act arbitrarily. We ministers are also doing it for your Majesty's benefit. Is there really a danger? What is the use of money if there is no food in the imperial treasury?
Until then, food will be the most scarce. "
"Great Zhou, there has just been a war, and the foundation is already unstable. What if the Xiongnu suddenly goes back on his word, or if several surrounding vassal states want to attack us?
It’s impossible to say for certain. Unforeseen circumstances may arise, but we still need to prepare for a rainy day. As a saying goes, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace. "
"As the emperor, His Majesty must think about the people of Da Zhou, and even more so for the dedication of Da Zhou. You cannot do such a thing just for your own selfish desires and to teach these grains a lesson."
"Yes, Your Majesty, now is not the time to be vindictive. We all know that the price of food has been raised very high by these hateful businessmen, but we cannot cut off our arms."
Liang Jing took a deep breath, she was really angry.
As an emperor, he still can't say much. There are too many people in the court who can restrict him.
Taifu Liu then looked at Yang Zhong and Wang An who were standing aside.
"Two prime ministers, do you also think that His Majesty is right to do this? Don't you know what to say? As a prime minister, you should think about the country and the people."
"You should think about this matter carefully instead of letting His Majesty mess around!"
Liang Jing curled his lips at this moment. He would like to see what the two prime ministers have to say. After all, these two prime ministers are not vain at all.
The Taifu has high prestige, but he is old and is an elder.
Wang An smiled softly and explained, "Master, this matter is not that serious. Your Majesty also thinks about the people. What's more, when the price of food comes down, we can also use the money to buy back the food.
In doing so, His Majesty simply wants to restore food prices. "
"Have you ever thought, Taifu Liu, that if Your Majesty doesn't do this, the price of food will be higher, and the people will be even more angry and unhappy, and then we will all be the target of public criticism."
"It's just a trivial matter, so why bother with it?"
Yang Zhong also very rarely said to Taifu Liu: "Taifu, your Majesty must have a reason for doing this."
"I think we might as well not make this matter too complicated."
Taifu Liu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chao Zhong's words to be of any use now. The two prime ministers actually turned to the emperor.
"But I don't think we can do this!"
"Your Majesty, take back your fame!"
"The grain can no longer be sold, and it still needs to be collected into the treasury. We have to make plans for this grain in advance. Didn't the people from the Ministry of Revenue also say so!"
Liang Jing sighed.
At this time, Lu Yun said to Taifu Liu angrily.
"Taifu, you can't be aggressive. Who is more powerful in the court, you or His Majesty? You have called on so many ministers to help you, what are your intentions? Do you want to rebel against His Majesty! "
Taifu Liu frowned when he heard this, suddenly trembled, his eyes were panicked, and he scolded Lu Yun.
"Who told you to talk too much here? What did you, a eunuch, say in the court?"
"How dare I have second thoughts about His Majesty? It's just that as a tutor, I assisted the emperor who took office before. Before the Immortal Emperor left, he asked me to take good care of Dazhou."
"This is just to make His Majesty wake up faster! Don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelons."
"Your Majesty did not do the right thing in the first place."
Lu Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that Taifu Liu had a strong background. He had assisted the late emperor and had a good relationship with the late emperor. No wonder he could become the Taifu.
"I know that you, a eunuch, are very powerful. You have also established a Western Factory. When will eunuchs be able to speak in the court?"
"His Majesty!"
Mr. Liu was so old, so old that he knelt down and said to Liang Jing.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor told me that eunuchs must not be allowed to stand in this court, nor can they be allowed to be regents if they have a firm foothold."
"There are two iron rules in our royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. One is that eunuchs cannot interfere in politics, and the other is that the harem cannot interfere in politics!
By doing this, is your Majesty ignoring the laws of your ancestors? "
"Your Majesty, a eunuch actually founded some kind of Western factory, became a popular figure around Your Majesty, and even led troops to fight.
Although he did it, has His Majesty ever thought about the consequences as his power grows stronger and stronger! "
As he spoke, Taifu Liu kowtowed directly, and some officials behind him kowtowed in the same way. After all, he still had some prestige in the court.
As the senior Taifu Liu, he is the old man in the minds of many people.
So naturally, many people admired and loved him very much, and there was no problem in kowtowing to him.
"I beg your Majesty to kill this eunuch directly and let him pay homage to the immortal spirit of his ancestors!"
Lu Yun's eyes widened immediately. He was a little silly. How could this stupid old man point the finger at him and want to kill him? What a joke.
Liang Jing didn't expect that Taifu Liu would be so radical today.
"I heard that His Majesty asked people from the West Factory to investigate the grain robbery. Until now, no one from the West Factory has been found."
"Don't you think it's weird!"
"Your Majesty, Lu Yun has never seriously looked for a few people who have such difficulty. My suggestion is to evacuate their West Factory directly!"
Liang Jing never expected that this old guy would be so cruel. He didn't like Taifu Liu very much and didn't like him very much.
Even more annoying now.
How could there be such a shameless person.
"I didn't find it?"
Lu Yun sneered, "Taifu Liu, what if I find it!"
"Taifu Liu, no joke, these grain merchants are just stealing!"
"They definitely have someone behind them to guide them."
"Or someone can give them strong support."
"Were they really snatched away by the refugees that night? Why were the refugees more skilled than the guards?"
"My father-in-law, I have been checking. Since Taifu Liu asked me to come up with a result, I will do it as soon as possible."
"Taifu Liu wants to ask His Majesty to stop selling grain from the treasury. It is understandable that His Majesty does not agree. There is no need for you to be aggressive."
"But Your Majesty, I also think that the food in the treasury should be kept."
Liang Jing was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunzi suddenly changed the subject. What did he want to do?
