Today, Mu Zian is going to make it clear to everyone that from now on, the Ministry of Works has an even stronger backer.
Anyone who tries to bully the Ministry of Works should think twice before doing so.
Sure enough, as soon as Mu Zian finished speaking, Tian Zhi, who had been looking apprehensive, suddenly straightened his back for some reason.
It was as if Mu Zian had straightened his back, which had been bent over for a lifetime.
At this moment, the way the surrounding officials looked at Tian Zhi also changed.
In the imperial court, no matter how low your official rank is, as long as you have powerful backers, no one will dare to look down on you.
The saying "even a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister's door" is the best explanation.

Upon seeing that the Prince of Jin had actually left, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue panicked.
They were about to stop Xiao Qing when Mu Zi'an stepped in front of them and blocked their way.
Looking at the somewhat flustered officials of the Ministry of Revenue, Mu Zian sneered.
"Either you repay your debts today."
"Or the Duke of this country could just dismantle the Ministry of Revenue and pawn it."
"Choose one of the two paths."
