"Brother Huang must be on the side of his eldest nephew. Since neither side can reach a result, it means that he is not satisfied with the current stalemate." The King of Shu immediately began to analyze: "If he opposes the promotion of agricultural tools , that would be detrimental to the formulation of long-term national policies, let alone unify the mainland in a short period of time."
"But if you just agree to free promotion, the huge cake will be handed over to these damn aristocratic families, which is not in the interest of the royal family..."
His mind was spinning, and he was observing Emperor Wu's face: "So...the emperor hopes to find a way to have both ends, so that the century-old national policy can be carried out, and at the same time, the eldest nephew cannot suffer..."
Thinking of this, King Shu boldly tried: "Your Majesty..."
"What do you think, King Shu?" Emperor Wu answered immediately, which gave King Shu some confidence.
"My younger brother thought that since both parties are not satisfied with the result, how about each of us take a step back?" King Shu carefully observed Emperor Wu's expression.
The rest of the people also looked surprised.
When he saw that Emperor Wu's expression did not change and showed disgust, King Shu knew that he had made the right bet, so he added: "The promotion of new agricultural tools is inevitable, but it will not start until next year at the earliest. There is no way to quickly promote it nationwide this year. The planting of the second season of rice has begun, so my brother thought that we might as well give this new agricultural tool a three-month protection period."
"Three months later, it happens to be the end of the year. Making threshing machines and windmills free at that time will also give people across the country a chance to build tools. It will be completely late to use new tools when sowing and harvesting in the next spring. .”
After King Shu finished speaking, he was still very uneasy.
Because he was not sure whether he would offend all the courtiers by saying this.
But he had no choice.
"What do you think, sir?"
To King Shu's relief, Emperor Wu was not angry, but took the initiative to ask. This showed that his guess was completely correct, and this was what the emperor wanted.
When Emperor Wu did not object to King Shu, everyone present immediately figured it out.
In this current situation, no one is convinced, and no one is willing to give in. As an emperor, Emperor Wu naturally wants to balance the situation, neither letting one party take advantage, nor letting one party suffer.
Although this treatment made everyone feel like they were being calculated, they had no better solution.
The general trend is the general trend.
Both sides were exchanging glances. After a long silence, everyone clasped their fists together and said, "I agree!"
No matter which side it is, it must retreat, only then can everyone be happy.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu immediately said: "In that case, let's arrange it this way."
Everyone agreed.
When Emperor Wu came back from the side hall with his people, the Taiji Hall immediately became quiet.
None of the prince, fourth prince, sixth prince and others were called in.
It's good enough that they can listen to politics. It's impossible for Emperor Wu to let them participate in politics now.
Therefore, they can only worry. As for what happened inside, no one knows.
"Retreat!"
As weird as ever.
Similar as ever.
Everyone who stayed in Tai Chi Hall immediately thought of the last time.
After King You brought out the bombshell of ice cubes last time, the Great Court Meeting ended up just like this time.
Today, it's the same style again.
This made the Eighth Prince Li Qing and others, who had already prepared for a celebration banquet, look full of shock and disbelief.
They really couldn't imagine why Li Zhao could make a comeback now?
The prince's face was a little gloomy, and a sense of anxiety had already arisen in his heart.
When this happened again and again, the prince became uneasy and uneasy.
Although Li Zhao has always said that he has no intention of becoming emperor.
But, who believes it?
My father also said that he had no intention of becoming emperor, but what was the result?
Grandpa Huang had a total of twenty-three princes, and only five of them are dead now.
No one would believe this.
The prince already had a deep sense of crisis. He now had no sense of trust at all in his biological brother, who was from the same mother and only knew how to cause trouble.
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought that he had given him so many supplies before leaving.
In his opinion, there is no doubt that Li Zhao and Bai Yanlang are the same.
"A few princes are staying!"
They all looked at the prince and others, as if they had guessed what Emperor Wu wanted to do.
The prince's mind suddenly sank, and a bad premonition became stronger.
After the courtiers all retreated, Emperor Wu's expression darkened.
"Li Qing!"
The eighth prince Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and said, "My son is here."
"You seem to dislike Lao Jiu very much?"
The other princes were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, and none of them dared to say anything.
"My son, my son..."
"What? Your brother has already gone to Jiaozhou, isn't it enough?" Emperor Wu walked down, and every step he took was like an earthquake.
"Should I abdicate as soon as possible and give way to others?"
Everyone, led by the prince, knelt down together, with a look of horror in their eyes.
"Father, I have been wronged!" Li Qing kowtowed.
Emperor Wu kicked him on the shoulder, and Li Qing screamed and rolled on the ground, frightening the other princes to the point where they dared not speak out.
"Unjustly accused?" Emperor Wu sneered: "What an unjust accusation. Zhao'er is out there suffering hardships and helping me solve my problems. What are you doing? Reciting poems and making mistakes? Drinking and having fun? Surrounded by beauties, talking about the future?"
The princes were trembling in their hearts and did not dare to raise their heads.
Father... monitoring them?
Li Qing turned pale with fright and did not dare to quibble.
"What were you doing when the ministers criticized your brother today?" Emperor Wu sat on the steps with a cold look in his eyes.
The prince and others did not dare to move, their hearts felt cold.
They knew that their father was really angry this time.
Brothers don't help each other, but keep stepping on each other. This is what Emperor Wu can't bear the most.
"From now on, the eighth prince Li Qing becomes the king of the county. He will be confined for half a year. The palace guard force will be reduced by half. All his salary will be confiscated. Three hundred scriptures will be copied. He will not be allowed to leave the palace without permission. If he does it again, he will go to the fief!"
When Li Qing heard this, he almost fainted from fright.
He was a dignified first-class prince, but he became a county prince just because of one wrong move.
Although the county prince is also a prince, in terms of rank and rituals, he is no longer qualified to covet the throne.
Even if he did rebel in the end, it would be unfair and no one would follow him.
Throughout the ages, no matter who rebels, they need an orthodox and good-sounding name, and secondly, they must have a good identity.
Otherwise, no one will follow you.
Li Qing prostrated in the tunnel with a trembling voice: "Thank you...Father!"
The other princes were too frightened to move, they were extremely nervous.
Emperor Wu glanced coldly at the prince and the sixth prince, who felt like a light was on their backs.
"Fourth Prince Li Yan!"
"My son is here!"
"From now on, the fourth prince will study with the Taishi, Taifu and Taibao. He will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver. The Royal Guards will be increased by two thousand, and he can study in Zhan Shifu!"
Uh-huh!
The Second Prince, the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince and even the frightened Eighth Prince all raised their heads in horror and looked at Emperor Wu.
They were shocked.
