Emperor Wu's eyes full of majesty and a hint of murderous intent glanced at him.
The powerful aura spread, and the temperature in the entire Tai Chi Hall dropped.
The situation has turned!
Du Jie's Adam's apple rolled, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am ashamed, I will die!"
He immediately fell to his knees on the ground and admitted that he did not know.
After years of hard work in officialdom, I know exactly what to choose.
Ignorance is just an official oversight and is considered a minor problem.
But if he knew it and targeted King You, it would not be a small problem. He knew how to choose which one was more important.
Bang!
The sound vibrates.
Emperor Wu immediately stood up angrily, stared at Du Jie with stern eyes, and shouted: "You eat the people's food, use the people's food, and cause such a big negligence. You deserve to die."
Wow!
All civil and military officials in the court knelt down and declared that they would die.
"You all deserve to die!" Emperor Wu was furious and pointed at the drawing: "Such a magical weapon that benefits the people and protects the common people is actually said by you to be a vicious thing that poisons the people. Who among you should not die?"
The sound of rage echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, and everyone felt the anger brewing in Emperor Wu's body.
It was only a matter of seconds before his son was about to be disposed of.
If this matter becomes a foregone conclusion, he will become the biggest joke in the history of Wu Kingdom.
Whenever ordinary people use this tool, he, Emperor Wu, will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
How could he have the face to meet his ancestors?
Emperor Wu was furious and pointed at Du Jie and a group of people who had wanted to join Li Zhao: "A bunch of drunkards and rice sacks!"
"The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Farming, the Ministry of Yu, and the Ministry of Water shall all be dismissed from their posts and investigated!"
"His Majesty!"
A large group of people below were wailing and screaming, like a humiliated little lady.
Emperor Wu had no intention of appeasing his anger and dealt with many people one after another.
"Du Jie, you don't understand people well and don't distinguish between important things. You almost caused an eternal disaster and made everyone laugh!" Emperor Wu glanced at him coldly: "From now on, you will be punished for three years and you will have to reflect at home for six months."
Du Jie trembled and bit his lips, but he didn't dare to refute anything.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Du Jie's heart felt cold. Although Emperor Wu did not remove him from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it was no different from whether he should be removed or not.
As one of the six bosses, his weight in the court is extremely important.
Now he has to confine himself at home for half a year to reflect, which means being under house arrest and handing over real power.
In half a year, the staff of the Ministry of Industry will probably undergo a major change. How will it be his turn to take charge?
What's more, Emperor Wu had just dealt with more than ten people in a row. Unfortunately, these ten people were all closely related to his Du family or were members of the Du family.
Who dares to help him?
Maybe the other big families are secretly enjoying themselves and are even preparing to send their own people in.
After all, there is a carrot and a pit above the court.
"Your Majesty, although the threshing machine and the windmill are artifacts, after all, they are still too expensive! One unit costs 30,000 guan. May I ask, Your Majesty, how will this benefit the people? Can the people... afford it?"
Hou Tianyi asked Emperor Wu loudly.
The threshing machine is indeed an artifact, but we are blind!
But how many people can buy a threshing machine for thirty thousand guan?
Benefiting all people?
Benefiting the common people?
Isn’t this empty talk and big talk?
Hou Tianyi didn't notice that there were already many people in the court staring at him with murderous eyes.
But, he didn't notice it.
Hou Tianyi was still filled with righteous indignation. He couldn't really give up halfway like this, could he?
Even if King You cannot be brought down, at least he will suffer heavy losses!
Emperor Wu's eyes looked like swords, but he really couldn't scold Hou Tianyi because Hou Tianyi was telling the truth.
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Jingyun said at this time: "The situation in Jiaozhou is complicated. King You didn't bring much money with him when he went here, and he had to spend money everywhere. Although this thing is indeed beneficial to all people and benefits all people, before it can benefit all people and the world, King You also has to eat, and To survive.”
"It is reported that the money he gave out as rewards alone amounted to hundreds or thousands of dollars. Where did this money come from? Naturally, it must be obtained from these new tools."
"Only when he can support himself and the people can he benefit all people."
"I think it's inappropriate. As a member of the royal family, how can we compete with the people for profit?" People from the Cui family stood up to object.
"I believe that since this object is a divine weapon, it should be made public so that all people in the world can use it. There should be no charge!" A member of the Lu family stood up.
"King You is also a member of the Wu Kingdom and a member of the royal family. He should take the lead. Why not hand over all the threshing machines and windmills to the Ministry of Industry for casting, and then promote them throughout the country." The Wang family members also stood up.
Hou Tianyi showed a satisfied smile.
Du Jie lowered his head and said nothing. Since he had been affected, Youwang Li Zhao had to shed a layer of skin.
Aren't you counting on threshing machines and windmills to make money?
Then we won’t let you get what you want!
Cut off your financial path!
"You bastards! That was created by King You, so what? Is it bothering you?"
The military was unhappy that these people were adding insult to injury and stood up.
"I think that King You, who developed the threshing machine on his own, should not be free of charge."
"I second the proposal!"
In the main hall, the two sides faced off.
This situation made Hou Tianyi a little confused.
Why do some people from aristocratic families stand up to oppose it?
The Jia family, Lan family, Ruan family, Wu family, Li family, these aristocratic families also opposed it.
Moreover, the number of opponents occupied half of the court.
Hou Tianyi couldn't understand anymore. He noticed that the officials of these families had knives in their eyes and were staring at him sinisterly.
It was as if he, Hou Tianyi, had dug up everyone's ancestral graves, how cruel and cruel he looked.
When the military personnel saw that the civil servant group had begun to fight among themselves, they immediately became happy and obediently stepped aside, leaving the battlefield to these wealthy families.
Du Jie, who had his head lowered, suddenly realized something, looked at Fan Qiuli and Zhao Jingyun, and finally remained silent.
Except for the Du family and a few people who have enmity with Li Zhao, who want Li Zhao's things to be free nationwide, the rest of the aristocratic families are not willing.
Why?
Because their branch family in Jiaozhou has already seized the opportunity.
They spent a huge amount of wealth to buy artifacts, and they were also ahead of the world's great families.
This is such an important opportunity to overtake, how can we give up?
If they ask His Majesty to hand these things over to the Ministry of Industry for promotion, then those of them who placed the orders will suffer.
If they want to disgust Li Zhao, they will offend not only Li Zhao, but also the families who bought Li Zhao's things.
This is a great feud!
It wasn't until this moment that Du Jie suddenly realized that You Wang Li Zhao had not arranged anything, but was waiting here early.
He never does anything in vain!
He knew that there would be a battle with the Du family sooner or later, so he completed the layout in Jiaozhou and then controlled the imperial court.
You can choose to target me, Li Zhao, but in this case, all the layout and connections of your Du family in Jiaozhou will be cut off.
How should the Du family choose?
Once the Du family demands free threshing machines and windmills, there will no longer be a place for the Du family in Jiaozhou.
Those targeted aristocratic families will definitely not give the Du family any chance to breathe.
Even more hatred!
Du Jie gritted his teeth in anger. He, the dignified minister of the Ministry of Industry, was actually plotted against by a young boy.
