Chapter 875
"Captain, please calm down!" Xu Shize cupped his hands.
The next second, Xu Shize said in an orderly manner: "First of all, His Royal Highness the Prince developed a way to eat spicy crayfish more than half a year ago, which solved the famine problem. He also proposed to use work as relief to build Datang Water Conservancy. Afterwards, he developed Hybrid Rice 3.0. Let us greatly increase rice production in the Tang Dynasty and conquer the 800,000-strong army of Chu in the front line!"
"Marrying Princess Chu Ningyu of Da Chu, extorting 500 million taels of silver from Da Chu, inventing a method for refining refined salt, introducing treadle looms and blue and white porcelain, and comprehensively breaking the economic sanctions of Da Chu. Which of these things would not shock the past and present? In comparison, how can it be considered a big deal to deceive the emperor if his faults do not cover up his faults?"
"Prime Minister, you are so eloquent!" Mr. Xia was furious.
He knew that Xu Shize belonged to Tang Yu. Just now Xu Shize took the lead in pointing out that Tang Yu was at fault. He thought Xu Shize had changed his gender. What he didn't expect was that Xu Shize still spoke for Tang Yu.
Xu Shize confronted him in the hall and said: "Smooth talk? My father-in-law, this is wrong! Let me ask, if the prince is really to be deposed, who will take over as the crown prince of the East Palace? The eldest prince Tang Long or the third prince Tang Shuheng? Although both princes are both Heaven's proud man, but in terms of merit, who can compare with His Highness the Crown Prince? If the Crown Prince is deposed, I am afraid that no one in the world will agree."
"Really?" Mr. Xia was quite dissatisfied.
Xu Shize analyzed: "Zhang Zhang, as the head of the first aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, you have had enough food and clothing since you were a child. You have no idea how difficult people's livelihood is! Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for the people. Let's not mention other things. His Highness the Prince invented it. The first and third princes cannot compare with hybrid rice 3.0 and refined salt!"
"you you..."
Hearing Xu Shize's words, Mr. Xia almost exploded with anger.

He had long known that Xu Shize was not someone to be trifled with. For the first time in his life, he confronted Xu Shize. Mr. Xia felt a strong sense of oppression from Xu Shize.
"I would like to ask, in the entire royal family, except Your Majesty, who can do this?"
"A sharp tongue, a sharp tongue!" Mr. Xia shouted angrily.
Xu Shize didn't talk nonsense to Mr. Xia. He looked at Emperor Tang and said, "Your Majesty, there is a reason why the prince deceived the emperor! Think about it from his perspective. If the old minister was assassinated and almost died, maybe the old minister would also stage a farce of cheating his death. Please punish the prince severely. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Yes! The prime minister's analysis is correct! Although Yu'er has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, his achievements are outstanding and his flaws cannot be concealed!"
Emperor Tang nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Tang Yu and said: "Yu'er, you made a big mistake this time, but seeing that you helped the Tang Dynasty break the economic sanctions of the Chu Dynasty and enriched the treasury not long ago, I decided , so that your merits and demerits are equalized, no reward or punishment!"
"Thank you, father!" Tang Yu responded quickly.
At the same time, Tang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his cheap dad had settled the matter of deceiving the king in the blink of an eye by singing along with Xu Shize.
High, really high!
When Mr. Xia heard this, he said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be appropriate not to punish the prince severely?"
"Yes, Father!" Tang Long and Tang Shuheng shouted in unison.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty waved his hand and said: "Captain, it's not that I won't punish Yu'er severely, it's just that Yu'er's achievements are too high. Deposing Yu'er will cause serious dissatisfaction among the people of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, compared with Yu'er, the boss and the third are not even a bit worse. If their achievements are comparable to Yu'er's, it wouldn't be a bad idea to depose Yu'er!"
"It's a pity that the eldest brother and the third child are not up to par! So, in order to balance the state of mind, I decided to waive Yu'er's salary for one year! Is this okay?"
What! Free Tang Yu of his salary for one year?
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Xia's eyes darkened, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Normally, the prince's annual salary is only a few thousand taels of silver at most, but now that Tang Yu is worth over 100 million, what's the difference between giving him a year's salary and not being fined?
