"Your Majesty, there are still some cases involving the main culprit that have not been clearly investigated, and his identity is special and of great importance. It is not appropriate to transfer him to the Ministry of Justice at this time." Lu Chen laughed, making it clear that he was not going to give Xu Yan this face.
Xu Yan knew that things were not that simple, and judging from the emperor's attitude, he was not going to help this time, so he could only look to other ministers and Wei Yong for help.
As expected, the first to charge was Lord Wei Yong. He snorted coldly, "This is ridiculous! Your Jinyiwei is just a department that manages medicine and food safety. What qualifications do you have to try prisoners?"
Ever since he learned that his daughter had thrown herself into Lu Chen's arms in public, Wei Yong disliked Lu Chen even more.
If the previous targeting of Lu Chen was out of public interest, now it is somewhat mixed with personal grudges.
Looking at the furious Wei Yong in front of him, Lu Chen showed no fear of being approached by the girl's parents. Instead, he responded even more brazenly, "That Chen Laoliu poisoned the princess. Since drugs are involved, it's naturally the business of the Jinyiwei."
Lu Chen winked at Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, is this reasonable?"
Reasonable, so reasonable!
After Li Mingyue was rescued, Li Zhuo went to see her. She was his only biological sister, so as a brother, he cared about her very much.
After the two sides met, Li Zhuo felt that Lu Chen was really pleasing to the eye and could be treated as one of his own.
Wei Yong was completely defeated by Lu Chen's words. He didn't expect that Lu Chen could find such a tricky angle to refute him.
Xu Yan thought he was doomed when he saw this. Lord Wei was still too rule-bound, so he could only ask other ministers for help.
The other ministers nodded. It was true that they had a good relationship with you, Lu Chen, and it was also true that you, Lu Chen, had snatched a lot of work from the six ministries during this period.
Everyone felt that Lu Chen couldn't continue like this, otherwise it would seem that the six departments were too incompetent.
Even if everyone knows about this, you can't slap us in the face in the court.
So the Minister of War decided to be the first to lead the charge.
But before anyone else came out, Lu Chen bowed to Li Zhuo again and said, "Your Majesty, being captured this time can be considered a blessing in disguise. During this time, I discovered a new substance. As long as this substance is applied to the surface of weapons and armor, it will effectively prevent rust."
"According to my calculations, as long as the ironware of the Great Qi Dynasty uses this technology in the future, the service life of weapons and armor can be greatly extended. This will help us save at least half of our military funds every year. From now on, not only will the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue be greatly reduced, but the Ministry of War will also be able to purchase more weapons and armor for the soldiers."
"I intend to work with the Ministry of Revenue to promote this technology. This is the blessing of our ancestors. I think Your Majesty should ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange for the burning of memorial tablets and offering sacrifices to heaven."
The moment Lu Chen finished saying this, Cui Shanzhan also stepped out.
He paused for a moment, then suddenly, with an enthusiastic expression, he bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, I also think it's reasonable to let the Jinyiwei investigate this matter. The people from the Ministry of Justice should not get involved and cause trouble!"
"We await your review!"
