Chapter Shameful

Author: Ran Xi Nian

Emperor Hongwen was also shocked by Lu Yaoyao's 20 million.

But then I thought about it, this is pretty good, it saves these guys below from thinking about it every day.

He has been very annoyed by this matter these days.

How could he not understand the twists and turns in the hearts of these ministers?

He saw all the performance of these people today. To be honest, at this moment, he was more in agreement with not handing over the bomb production to the imperial court.

In his opinion, it was normal for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to compete. After all, bomb production was also within the scope of the Ministry of Industry, and bombs were intended for battlefields, so it made sense for the Ministry of War to get involved.

But today, in addition to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, there are also many other unrelated people involved.

He didn't think that these people really gathered Huo Lu Yaoyao for the good of Dongzhou. On the contrary, he felt that there was probably something he didn't know about.

It seems that there have been a lot of ghosts and monsters in my court recently.

"What do you think, dear friends?"

No one answered the call below. Twenty million is equivalent to three or four years of Dongzhou's taxes. This is not something you can get by just taking it.

Even if he bites the bullet and takes it out, how poor will Dongzhou be in the next few years? Those officials are afraid that their lives will not be easy.

"Princess Wanfu, isn't the 20 million too expensive?"

Wen Songtao looked at Lu Yaoyao.

"Wen Xiang, this is not expensive at all."

"Besides, when doing business, one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell."

"The things belong to me. The court wants them. I bid for them. If you think it's not worth it, don't take it. I'm not forcing you to buy it."

She had learned about Dongzhou's financial situation before, and the reason why she asked for the price of 20 million was because she was certain that the Dongzhou court could not afford such a large amount of money, and would not pay it.

For a country to run, it cannot rely on bombs alone. Twenty million people can do much more than one bomb.

And based on the current situation in Dongzhou, it only takes a few years for the country to survive stably, and its national strength will soar by one or two levels.

The appearance of the bomb was enough to frighten the three neighboring countries, and it was enough to give Dongzhou some years of stability.

On the one hand, there is no need for bombs, and step by step will also allow Dongzhou to develop.

On the other hand, the bomb's deterrent effect has been achieved. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is given to the court or not. As long as the three countries outside know that there is a bomb in Dongzhou, it is enough.

Why do you have to control the waistband in your own hands?

All of this was Lu Yaoyao's calculation. If it was really for Dongzhou's good, under such circumstances, he would never agree to spend 20 million to purchase the production method.

If it has an ulterior motive, then that's a different matter.

After receiving her answer, Wen Songtao turned to Emperor Hongwen and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think there is no problem if the bomb is left in the hands of Princess Wanfu."

"Based on what Princess Wanfu has done for Dongzhou, I believe that when the court needs it, she should be able to support her."

After he finished speaking, Dong Xiang stood up and expressed his agreement with Wen Songtao's statement.

There is no need to keep things in the hands of the court.

The first of the two civil servants spoke, followed closely by the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. He was really reluctant to spend 20 million to buy bomb-making methods.

No, it should be said that as long as he was asked to spend money, he would be reluctant to do so.

Although three people have spoken, including two heads of civil servants, there are still some people who do not want to give up.

"Princess Wanfu, is this price acceptable?"

Before the Minister of War had finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Lu Yaoyao.

"The condition is that I have already opened it. If you want to buy it, just give me the money. If you don't want to buy it, please don't bother me again."

After that, she bowed to Emperor Hongwen and said, "Your Majesty, since everything is fine, can I resign?"

"Well, please step back."

With Emperor Hongwen's approval, Lu Yaoyao turned around and walked out.

She was very chic, but as soon as she left the Jinluan Palace, the palace immediately became lively.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wanfu is too presumptuous."

"Your Majesty, Princess Wanfu may have a secret plan by pushing her to hand over the bomb-making method to the obsessive-compulsive officer."

"His Majesty."

boom.

Before the next words were finished, the sound of a tea cup exploding was heard.

Everyone looked up and saw that Emperor Hongwen had stood up from the dragon chair with a livid face at some unknown moment.

This scene frightened all the ministers below.

"Shameful."

"I have never been so embarrassed."

"You guys, now you still have the nerve to say that others have secret plans?"

"You should touch your own hearts and ask yourself."

When Emperor Hongwen got angry, the people below him knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"Calm down your anger? Look at what you have done today. How dare you ask me to calm down?"

"As a courtier in Dongzhou, I don't want to rely on myself to benefit the country. Instead, I want to steal other people's things to add glory to myself."

"If others don't give it, they will maliciously speculate and slander me. I am really ashamed to have courtiers like you."

His words directly tore off the faces of these sanctimonious guys.

What the hell.

If someone refuses to give, then they will be slandered. When someone offers conditions, why don’t any of them dare to speak?

When people are here, they don’t dare to stand up.

As soon as people left, they jumped out one by one.

How could Emperor Hongwen not be angry with such courtiers?

With their virtues, it can be imagined that if something changes in Dongzhou one day, these guys will be the first to stand up and rebel.

"Whether there are people involved in the impeachment today or not, please go back and write a good report for me. If you can't understand it, don't take this official position."

"Disperse the dynasty."

After swearing angrily, Emperor Hongwen turned around and left the Jinluan Palace.

The ministers below were all trembling with fear at this time. To be honest, they had been in power for many years, and this was the first time they had seen Emperor Hongwen so angry.

It is understandable for many people who did not participate. After all, today's morning court was indeed too embarrassing and too disgraceful.

But the rest of the participants felt that this was an injustice.

Although they have some selfish motives of their own, their starting point is for Dongzhou.

Why did they get so angry because of Dongzhou?

When Wen Songtao saw that those guys hadn't woken up yet, he just shook his head helplessly and turned around and left the Jinluan Palace.

"What a shame."

Dong Xiang shook his head repeatedly in his heart.

Lu Yaoyao was really ruthless this time. He went directly to the court and rubbed the faces of all these officials on the ground.

However, Prime Minister Dong did not blame Lu Yaoyao at all. After all, it was some of the courtiers who acted shamelessly on others, and he did not blame them for fighting back.
