They fell into the trap!
Being fooled around by Ning Que!
Because of sand and gravel, everyone is competing to lower prices.
After the price of grain dropped, Ning Que sent people to purchase it again.
The food shortage in Jingyang was easily resolved.
And what about them?
It was a huge loss!
Gu Yuan covered his chest, his blood boiling.
Looking at Ning Que's appearance, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
Tian Zhongxun's thoughts raced, and he stood up again.
"Even if the young prince's disaster relief efforts are meritorious, what does that even count for? My lords, please remember that Emperor Wen established a ancestral rule that Prince Ning's lineage must have made great contributions to the country before they can inherit the throne. Providing disaster relief alone cannot be considered a great achievement!"
"I second the motion!"
"What's so great about disaster relief? I can do it too!"
"Your Majesty, please revoke your order and postpone the enthronement!"
Emperor Feng looked at them and wrote them down one by one.
Watch them quarreling without any hurry.
In fact, it is very easy to clear Ning Que's name.
Just tell him what he has done over the years.
Each and every one of them is a great achievement!
However, he still had things for Ning Que to do.
It's a good opportunity to get them to help.
“That’s enough!”
"Your Majesty, calm down—"
All the ministers raised their hands and bowed at the same time.
Emperor Feng looked at them and said calmly, "What you are arguing about is nothing more than whether or not you have made great achievements. I think we should proceed with the coronation ceremony today."
"His Majesty!"
"I haven't finished yet."
Emperor Feng looked at Tian Zhongxun.
The latter had no choice but to retreat obediently.
"Today, I'm crowning you king, but it's only a title, not royal authority." Emperor Feng looked at Ning Que. "In two days, the Xiliang envoys will arrive in Chang'an. They're under the guise of peace talks, but in reality, they're seeking benefits. Ning Que, I'm ordering you to temporarily lead the Ministry of Rites and take full responsibility for this diplomatic initiative. If you can gain benefits for Dafeng, you'll be our true King Ning!"
"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"
Ning Que stood up and bowed deeply.
This time even Tian Zhongxun was silent.
It is obvious that this was all planned by the Emperor!
If he continues to be aggressive, it will only backfire.
Well, there is only one way now...
Disrupt the peace talks between Xiliang and Dafeng!
