Courtiers, look at me and I look at you. This time, instead of lowering your heads and saying nothing, just hold your breath, not even daring to take a breath.
Who dares to speak?
Who can speak!
They are not stupid. When things have reached this stage, they don't understand that they have exhausted all the agencies, but they have lost their lives.
They wanted to take advantage of Princess Xian's affairs to take away Princess Xian's military power and make His Majesty give up the idea of letting the Ning family serve as imperial merchants.
But what they didn't expect was that the mantis was chasing the cicada, and the oriole was behind.
His Majesty is just waiting for them to pounce when they see an opportunity, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
Among these courtiers, it is good that they have family backgrounds, and understand that they are fighting for the family. Even if they are dealt with by His Majesty, they will not lose their official positions and lose their lives. At most, they will be demoted, and they can make a comeback in the future.
But they don't want to think about the position of emperor merchant.
Don't say anything else.
If they dare to object to the Ning family's great contribution to making colored glaze, they are afraid that the next moment, their family will write Princess Xian on the list of those who are not accepted by the Ministry of Industry.
say what?
They still kept their mouths shut and waited honestly for His Majesty to get angry and deal with them, then go home quickly and let their families go to Princess Xian's Mansion to send an apology!
"Your Majesty, although the Ning family helped the royal family to bake colored glaze, it is the Ning family's credit. Princess Xian is using her power for personal gain. She must deal with it and set an example for the courtiers!"
If the other courtiers don't speak, they have a way out.
Ge Shilang had offended Zhou Jingxian severely, and he came here specially because he had a mission.
If he fails to complete the task, he is afraid that his acceptance of bribes from Japanese envoys will be widely publicized.
Now he can only attack Zhou Jingxian's faults, and he can defeat them one by one.
Even if it disturbs His Majesty who is in high spirits and is resented by His Majesty, it is better than being ruined and completely losing his official title!
Zhou Qian looked coldly at the unrepentant Ge Shilang and snorted from his nose.
"Shilang Ge, when you say that Princess Xian used her power for personal gain, do you mean that she handled the fight between Daxing scholars and Loulan merchants impartially?"
"No! Of course not!"
How dare Shilang Ge dare not to open any pot when the situation in Loulan is over?
I haven't seen the Loulan ambassador, and now I want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into it, pretending that he has never appeared before?
All he can do now is present himself as a qualified official.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that many ministers participated in Princess Xian's performance?"
"I haven't forgotten. I just wanted to clarify this matter."
Zhou Qian glanced with disappointment at Ge Shilang, who was determined not to give up until the Yellow River, and publicly confessed Zhou Jingxian's innocence.
"I was the one who asked Ning Shixian to stay in Princess Xian's mansion. Since the firing of colored glaze is related to the foundation of the royal family, no word will be spread until it is successful. That's why we have to let Jingxian and Ning Shixian take the blame. I'm here Let’s rectify their names here and now.”
"I personally handle the fine iron and craftsman transfer orders from the Ministry of Industry. The reason why I keep it secret is because I am afraid that some corrupt ministers will leak the secrets and cause the matter to fail."
Speaking of the words "eating inside and outside", Zhou Qian glanced at Ge Shilang with deep meaning.
Ge Shilang finally came to his senses and broke down in cold sweat.
Finally, he couldn't help the panic in his heart and fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, forgive me! It was a minor oversight!"
"It's true that you made an oversight. Since you can't do the job of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then don't do it. Tell me my decree and inform the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to re-select the Minister of Zuo. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the candidate for the new Minister of Zuo."
Ge Shilang was dismissed from his official position in public.
Thinking about it again, the chance of using it is almost non-existent.
In addition, Ge Shilang failed to complete the task assigned by him. At this time, the pressure skyrocketed. He felt his ears buzzing, opened his mouth and spurted a mouthful of blood, and passed out.
"Put it off, don't let me see the bad luck on this happy day when the glass is successfully fired."
Zhou Qian's attitude towards Shilang Ge made the courtiers who had not yet decided how to deal with him even more wary and frightened.
They were so regretful that their intestines were blue!
Especially those from Prince Jin's faction became even more angry when they thought that they came rashly this time because of the news sent by Prince Jin's Mansion.
I wish I could blame this crime on Prince Jin's palace on the spot.
But if we do His Majesty's misfortune again at this time, we may lose more than we gain just like Ge Shilang.
then.
They could only continue to be sawed gourds, saying nothing, waiting for the unknown thunder to fall.
Zhou Qian observed that the awe of the power of the emperor finally appeared on the faces of the courtiers, and he felt very comfortable.
What he wants is that these courtiers no longer always obstruct his will for their own selfish interests!
This time, he was able to feel so proud and proud thanks to Ning Wuyan and Jingxian.
"Ning Wuhuo!"
"The grass people are here!"
After accounting for those ministers and royal relatives who have made mistakes, the next step should be to reward them based on their merits.
And in front of the Xiyi Pavilion, giving a reward to Ning Wuyao, who helped the royal family bake the colored glaze, was tantamount to adding salt to the wound of Lord Loulan.
Zhou Qian doesn't care about morals or etiquette, he just wants to give Loulan people a good pain!
"The Ning family presented the secret recipe for making colored glaze, which is a great achievement. From now on, the Ning family will take over the Qiao family as the next imperial merchant, and the position of imperial merchant will be taken by Ning Wuhuang.
Harem perfume, summer ice, and other Ning family products can be supplied directly to the palace at market prices. In addition, if the Ning family does not have them, you will be responsible for re-screening and making a decision. "
Huangshang has always had more supply power than purchasing power.
The scope of use of Huangshang, in addition to corresponding to the palace, also includes the supply of uniforms for six departments and even local areas.
When the Qiao family was an imperial merchant, they could only rely on their supply power to privately reach out to various industries to earn price differences. However, for previously existing suppliers such as Jiangnan Weaving Supply, they did not have any decision-making power. Can follow the old routine.
Now, Zhou Qian has given all purchasing rights to the Ning family.
Those who are not convinced by the Ning family and want to cause harm in secret must consider whether they will have a chance to be selected for procurement if they offend the Ning family.
After all, the Ning family is involved in emerging industries. Apart from who will be the emperor's merchant, there is actually no big conflict of gains and losses with them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Ning Wuhuang knew that Zhou Qian was trying to deal with some potential enemies for him, so he knelt down on one knee with the food box in hand to show his sincerity of gratitude.
Zhou Qian personally helped the person up, patted Ning Wuhuang's shoulder heavily, and asked in a low voice: "How much does colored glaze cost?"
"It's very low. It's even lower than your Majesty imagined. Therefore, there will be more and more glazed objects. The price cannot be too high, but it can be priced at levels. The specific method... I have already written it on this piece of paper. I have also written it down." Please finish reading it after your Majesty returns to the palace, and then deal with the colleagues who come after hearing the news."
Ning Wuyan passed the food box forward, revealing a folded draft underneath.
Zhou Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Ning Wuyan with even more satisfaction.
This guy is brave, resourceful and capable.
It would be a pity just to give the recipe for making colored glaze to the royal family.
"My beloved..."
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
