Chapter 696 Text: Convincing people with reason

I don't want to listen to Ji Kangping's long speech here. He is the minister of Honglu Temple and wants to control the affairs of other countries, but he only needs to manage a piece of land in the capital. The most important thing now is to suck the blood of the Wang family and teach them to save his own life. Top priority!

With a cold smile, Ke Chun questioned: "What does Taigong Ji mean, is that our majestic monarch of the Great Qian Kingdom still needs to lower his status to please that big girl from a deserted city? Could it be that Taigong Ji also believed those rumors and thought that The Lord of Desolate City will really pass on his position to a female doll!"

It was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. Ke Chun thought that Ji Kangping simply had no brains.

He bowed and saluted Li Hongkuo, and saw him lamenting: "Your Majesty, such a spineless minister is worthy of being the Minister of Honglu Temple in our Qian Kingdom? If Taigong Ji's words were heard, people from other countries would probably all You’re going to laugh your butt off!”

"I hand-appointed Ji Kangping to be the Minister of Honglu Temple. Does Ke Changshi think that I am deaf and blind and that I cannot recognize people clearly?"

Li Hongkuo remained silent, listening to the back-and-forth exchange between the two of them, but he did not expect that Ke Chun would dare to slander Ji Kangping in front of him in order to cling to Wang Mingde.

There is no one in the civil and military circles in the dynasty who doesn't know that Ji Kangping was promoted by Li Hongkuo. If they dare to say that Ji Kangping is not worthy of being the Minister of Honglu Temple, isn't that just a slap in Li Hongkuo's face?

Ke Chun was also anxious. He had always thought about currying favor with Wang Mingde and asked him to take action to settle his affairs. He never expected that when confronting Ji Kangping, he would be outspoken and say such disgraceful words!

Ke Chun fell to his knees with a thud, dripping with cold sweat, and grunted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty clearly knows that I have no such intention!"

"Your Majesty, it is understandable that Ke Changshi, as a capital official, does not understand the reason behind this. Desolate City does not rely on centralizing imperial power to rule the people like other countries, but focuses on developing commerce and spreading its power across the world."

Although Ke Chun angered Long Yan, Ji Kangping still stood up to smooth things over for him, even though he was the one who was slandered by Ke Chun.

In fact, because today Wang Guozhi and his son have been dealt with, if Li Hongkuo touches Ke Chun who intends to get closer to the Wang family, it will be tantamount to declaring war with Wang Mingde, and he is afraid that he will be swallowed up by the Wang family's management power for many years.

Ji Kangping closed his sleeves and sighed: "As a citizen of Daqian, I naturally don't want me to bow my head to Huangwu City. I really have no choice but to do it for the sake of the country and the people. The eldest girl from Huangwu City has been following Huangwu since she was a child. The lord of the city is engaged in business, but his own son has never been exposed to it. Don’t you still know who will take this position in the future?"

Ke Chun never dreamed that the person he criticized would actually defend himself.

He cautiously raised his head and looked at Li Hongkuo. Seeing that he was attracted by Li Kangping and had no intention of blaming him anymore, he quietly exhaled a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and knelt aside for a few steps. Give up your position.

"I don’t need to say more about the forces in the deserted city. His majesty will deal with the prince and his son in this way because he understands this. The battle between Ganhu and Ganhu is now in full swing. If Dagan displeases the eldest girl in the deserted city, she only needs to be a little involved in it. If you do something wrong, it will be too late for us to regret it."

What Ji Kangping said next was really unacceptable to the court officials, but what if they didn't accept it?
