It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I was shocked.
After all the noble families settled their accounts, they could no longer remain calm.
This beast Li Zhao makes too much money.
If you can't find a way to get him, Li Zhao will really have the final say in Jiaozhou from now on.
Kyoto!
The undercurrent surges again.
Tai Chi Hall was a bit eerily quiet.
Emperor Wu sat at the top, glanced around at the courtiers, and said, "Is there anything else, sirs?"
Logically speaking, after dealing with current matters, everyone should go home for dinner.
But no one left.
This is very wrong.
"Your Majesty!" Hou Tianyi, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, stood up slowly. He was on the fifth rank: "I have something to report!"
Emperor Wu glanced at the main hall, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He looked at Hou Tianyi and said, "Play!"
"My lord, I heard that Prince You Zhao is amassing money in Jiaozhou, trying to win over public opinion, and building Prince You's Mansion in violation of regulations. This is inconsistent with righteousness and etiquette!" Hou Tianyi reported in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
Emperor Wu's face darkened, was it because of King You again?
He didn't understand. In the past ten years, King You was like a transparent person, and no one remembered him.
Why did all these people jump out when we arrived in Jiaozhou?
Emperor Wu squinted his eyes, with an evil look in his eyes. He was powerless towards Jiaozhou, and he also knew that many people said one thing and did another, and they had long been dissatisfied.
Therefore, the first thing that comes to mind when hearing about the impeachment of a minister is that there is something fishy.
These people must be trying to get their own son!
"Oh?" Emperor Wu's lips parted slightly, his eyes became sharp and he said, "Do you know about this?"
"Your Majesty, I have received news that King You Zhao is indeed amassing money and poisoning his neighbors, making the people miserable. King You is asking for thirty thousand guan for a mere work tool! Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our Wu Kingdom has always valued public opinion and people's livelihood. The people are the foundation of our Wu Kingdom. But now King You's trip is obviously going against the grain. If a farm tool costs 30,000 pieces, in the future we will How should the people of Wu State live?"
"I also heard about this and sent people to investigate. Now, if anyone wants farm tools for farming, they can only sign a contract with King You. One tool costs tens of thousands. How can we farm the land?"
Many ministers were filled with outrage.
The prince, fourth prince, sixth prince and others had different expressions.
Emperor Wu's face was extremely ugly. He looked at the wailing people coldly, with some disbelief, and looked at the great eunuch Chang Lin.
Chang Lin turned pale with fright. As the personal eunuch beside Emperor Wu, he also controlled all information.
Now, all the ministers have come forward together, and there is evidence, which shows that he has neglected his duty.
As an emperor, he hates to see things like this happening to him that are out of his control.
Chang Lin immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the people from the Secret Intelligence Department only arrived last night, and they haven't had time to submit the report to you yet!"
Emperor Wu asked coldly: "They said that one of King You's farm tools costs 30,000 guan? Is this true?"
Chang Lin's body stiffened, and cold sweat suddenly broke out: "Yes!"
Chang Lin's answer made Emperor Wu feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes turned a little black.
Emperor Wu couldn't understand why Prince You, who had done things well before, started to act stupidly now.
Whether it's sugar or ice, this is a national plan.
As long as he makes no mistakes, who dares to do anything to him?
But this time Emperor Wu was really a little angry. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, farmers were ranked second, which shows their high status.
Even if the scholar-bureaucrats despised the peasants in their hearts, they would never dare to be easily fooled by their words and deeds.
Making fun of farmers will undoubtedly undermine the country's foundation.
Anyone who touches it will die!
Even if King You has great power, he cannot do this.
It is not easy for ordinary people to farm. The main focus of Wu State now is to recuperate.
Now, King You went against the will of heaven and sold a farm tool for an unprecedented high price. What was he trying to do?
Force the people to rebel?
Seeing Emperor Wu's gloomy expression, many people showed a faint smile.
They knew very well how bad the nature of the matter involving Youwang Li Zhao was.
To put it bluntly, even if Li Zhao is the prince, I am afraid he will be abolished this time.
Not to mention, he is just a You King.
Bang!
Emperor Wu slapped the armrest of the chair angrily, and everyone lowered their eyebrows in agreement.
"Bring it up!"
Chang Lin was so frightened that he went to get the report from the Secret Service in a cold sweat.
Soon, the report was submitted.
Emperor Wu picked up the report with a cold look in his eyes and immediately opened the report.
The report contains exactly what King You did in Jiaozhou. Although it was written half a month ago, it does record the detailed actions of King You.
There are heroic feats of wiping out bandits, and there are also sky-high-priced farm tools!
"Snapped!"
When he saw half of it, Emperor Wu couldn't help it anymore and hit Chang Lin hard on the head.
Chang Lin immediately knelt down, and the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall was solemn.
The ministers don't need to say anything this time, they just need to watch the show.
Youwang Li Zhao did have the ability to make money, but unfortunately, he used it in the wrong place.
This time it's suicidal.
Many civil servants looked at each other and saw the smile in their eyes.
It seems that King You won't be able to jump around for much longer, and his good luck has come to an end.
When Prince Zhao saw this, his brows knitted together. Although he didn't like Prince You either, he had just changed his opinion of Prince You.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
It seems that it is true that King You is as dim as ever. The sugar and ice cubes he got last time were just a matter of luck.
This guy... is still useless after all!
The generals actually have a good impression of Li Zhao. They don't have that much to do, they just want to recuperate quickly, make money, and help His Majesty unify the country in their lifetime.
The rest, they don't care.
The civil servants and generals of Wu Kingdom have always known what they are good at, and they have a tacit understanding with each other and do not interfere with each other.
Now, they finally saw a little hope, but they didn't expect that Li Zhao played himself to death, and they felt a little uncomfortable.
Is it possible to joke about things like farm tools?
If all the farm tools in the world cost 30,000 guan, would we still be able to farm?
We might as well rebel!
This matter is too serious.
All the generals couldn't help but shake their heads. They all had the feeling that Li Zhao had been knocked down and suddenly lost his mind.
When the princes saw this, they naturally had different thoughts.
Among the crowd, the fourth prince was anxious: "Father!"
Emperor Wu glanced at him with cold eyes, which made the fourth prince's heart tremble: "What do you want to say?"
Under the pressure of Emperor Wu's powerful eyes, and among the complicated and playful eyes of all the princes, the fourth prince swallowed his saliva, and finally gritted his teeth and stood up and said: "I thought that Lao Jiu was definitely not that kind of person. Confused people..."
"So, did I wrongly accuse him? Did my secret agent lie about the military situation? Is it because the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were blind?" Emperor Wu was furious.
The entire Tai Chi Hall was filled with roars.
The fourth prince was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was speechless.
"Fourth brother, Lao Jiu has always been more casual. When he was eight years old, he could spend millions of his family wealth just for a brothel girl. Now in a poor and remote place like Jiaozhou, where money is very scarce, he may not be able to make a farm tool. Selling thirty thousand guan!"
