Chapter 452 ;
Chapter 452; Entering the Golden Palace again
Prince Ning's face became even more ugly.
The hatred in my heart increased again.
Since my father would rather leave such an important matter to a woman than to him, this is simply an insult to him.
And Lu Yaoyao, when the Lu family was framed, he did do something unreasonable, but later on, when he showed his kindness several times, this woman always seemed to be rejecting her.
She also didn't want to think about it. If he and King Jin hadn't helped her, she would have been killed in the back house by the Gao family when she first returned to the Xu family in the capital.
She was a prince and a direct descendant of the palace. How noble was her status? She put down her face and asked for peace, but she still raised it. It was simply abominable.
Just when he was filled with resentment, Lu Yaoyao had already walked in from outside the hall.
"My maid pays homage to Your Majesty."
"No gift."
In the main hall, Emperor Hongwen asked, "Did you hear what the gentlemen just said?"
"I can hear a thing or two."
Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded.
"So what do you think?"
"I beg to differ."
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers on both sides had different expressions, and the ones who had been jumping around the most fiercely, saying that women were not allowed to participate in politics, now looked very ugly.
"Women are not allowed to participate in politics. This is a rule handed down from our ancestors. In those days, Grandpa Taizu made repeated orders."
"Why do you disagree when you come to Princess Wanfu?"
"Could it be that the princess wants to rely on her past achievements to challenge the authority of the ancestors and Taizu?"
The person who spoke was a minister from the Ministry of Industry, and one of the fiercest people competing for the salt and iron workshop this time.
Putting aside some private thoughts, if we really talk about it, this salt and iron workshop should really be under the name of the Ministry of Industry.
He came out to fight, but it was reasonable.
But Lu Yaoyao made the thing, not to do good things. She also had her own plans.
The purpose of making iron is to build her Chengyuan Villa. Now she has almost all her needs. She has no objection to leaving it completely to the court. After all, this thing is an important military supply. It is better not to interfere too much.
But the reason why she got this salt was for a purpose. The first was to attack the Han family, and the second was to pave the way for her business empire.
So it is absolutely impossible to hand over all the power.
Yesterday, when Emperor Hongwen came to see her, despite her refusal, she actually had already made plans in her mind.
You must have salt in your hand.
"My lord, please don't rush to criticize me. It's unreasonable and unreasonable. You have to argue first."
"But before I make my argument, I have one thing to ask you, Your Excellency."
Doing politics or something? She has never thought about it at all. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy life in Chengyuan Villa?
What fun is there in the imperial court? There are so many messes and sinister people that she already has a headache just thinking about it.
"Princess, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"Just now, the adults said that the princess is relying on some achievements in the past. Regarding this, the princess would like to ask, what are these?"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry opposite was a little surprised. Why did he ask the higher-ups, weren't they going to talk about the salt factory again?
"Princess, don't talk nonsense. This is not the same thing as what we are talking about now."
"What do you mean by rambling? This is directly related to this princess."
"My lord, please tell me some of your achievements. Which ones are they?"
Lu Yaoyao's voice suddenly became stiffer, and his eyes became sharper.
The waiter opposite was silent.
"Hmph, it seems that this lord is very dissatisfied with the origin of my position as Princess Princess."
"Or maybe you are dissatisfied with the reward given to me by the emperor?"
"Princess, don't talk nonsense. Why did I ever have such intention?"
The Minister of Industry opposite was so frightened by her words that he broke into a cold sweat.
"No? As we all know, it is very difficult to obtain the title of Dongzhou. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, apart from the many titles and rewards during the Taizu period, there have been very few titles in the past few decades."
"Since I entered the capital, my princess has done a lot of civil and military things. Who in the world doesn't know about it?"
"The princess thinks that getting this position is worthy of the emperor's favor. How come it turns into some merit in your mouth, sir?"
"Isn't this questioning the emperor and this princess?"
Everyone on the side was startled when they heard this, and Prime Minister Dong, who was at the front among the civil servants, secretly smiled in his heart.
This Princess Wanfu is really timely in her revenge. She was slapped with a slap on her face just now, but now she immediately makes up for it.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean this."
The Minister of Industry was anxious and quickly raised his hands to Emperor Hongwen above to explain.
Looking at Emperor Hongwen's face at this time, he already looked a little unhappy.
Staring coldly at the Minister of Works.
Not to mention the things Lu Yaoyao has done for Dongzhou, just saying that she is his daughter, what does it mean to be a mere princess?
"That's right. High-ranking officials and courtiers like your lord have naturally made a lot of contributions to Dongzhou. It's normal to look down on the small contributions of this princess."
"I rarely come to the capital, and I don't know much about you sirs. I am very curious about what great contributions this sir has made for our Dongzhou?"
As soon as this was said, many people were happy.
Emperor Hongwen, who was on the high platform, smiled inwardly, shook his head, and said, "We'll talk about this later. Wanfu, let's talk about the salt workshop first."
"Okay, I will have to go and inquire about it later."
"Now, I, the Princess, will have a serious debate with all of you, whether it is a woman's role to take over the government if I, the Princess, temporarily take over the salt-making workshop."
"First of all, everyone knows that this salt-making workshop was built by the Emperor under the responsibility of my princess and His Highness Prince Jin."
"In terms of understanding, I'm afraid none of you can compare to me. Can you all agree on this?"
Everyone nodded, this is indeed not comparable.
"Since you don't understand it, why do you think so arbitrarily that the princess' temporary control of the salt workshop is interfering in politics?"
"The salt-making workshop belongs to the imperial court. Whether it is a salt mine or income, it comes in and out of the imperial court, so it naturally belongs to government affairs."
The Minister of Industry continued to refute.
"My lord, why are you still so anxious? Before the princess finished speaking, you jumped out again. Could it be that you have some shady intentions in doing this?"
"Princess Wanfu, please don't spray blood on anyone, my officer."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yaoyao glanced at him lightly.
"Don't worry about whether you are spraying blood or not."
"Your Majesty, since you asked your daughter to talk about the salt-making workshop, can you please allow her to finish talking first?"
Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded, looked at the Minister of Works coldly and said, "Don't interrupt, let Princess Wanfu finish speaking first."
When the Minister of Industry heard this, he bowed his hands and stepped back.
"I just said that you don't know about this salt-making workshop, so I will introduce this salt-making workshop to you first."
