Chapter 269 I'd rather give you two pieces of barbecued pork
Feng Shouxi immediately repeated what Shen Ziqing said to Prime Minister Leng Shanhe.
Leng Shanhe just shook his legs after hearing this and said calmly, "I knew from the beginning that Brother Li's goal was definitely not as simple as making money from Dayu's project."
Leng Ningshuang, who was listening in, couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I feel like he doesn't think that much?"
"That means God is on his side," Leng Shanhe rolled his eyes, "Which one do you like better? Also, be respectful to Brother Li. If his plan succeeds, his contribution to Dayu will even exceed that of most of the Yu emperors. I will call him uncle whenever I see him!"
Leng Ningshuang was stunned, pinching her chin and muttering, "If I marry Brother Li, do you have to call me aunt?"
Leng Ningshuang thought Leng Shanhe would be furious because of such outrageous words, but she never expected Leng Shanhe to just look weird, "My daughter, self-confidence is a good thing. Blind self-confidence will only make people think you are a fool. What makes you think you are the only one with those two pieces of meat on your body? You talk as if they are something rare."
Leng Ningshuang just wanted to see Leng Shanhe's reaction, but she didn't expect to be so viciously despised by her own father. She was immediately furious, "She is either a tiger girl who can't marry a dog boy, or she is selling her daughter for fame! How come you turn her into two pieces of meat! Am I your barbecued pork?"
"Brother Li is already a real dragon. It would be better to send you two pieces of barbecued pork instead of two pieces of pork," Leng Shanhe waved his hand with a look of disdain. "Besides, if you really want Rong, it's not your turn to marry him. Wouldn't it be faster and more effective if I shamelessly call him Big Brother?"
Leng Ningshuang was struck by lightning and was speechless.
"If you understand, pack up and go to Ganzhou quickly. While you haven't reached Nascent Soul yet, see if there's a chance to refine your Golden Elixir into a Supreme Golden Elixir. Don't show off your top-grade Golden Elixir all day long. Sooner or later, that thing will become a common sight," Leng Shanhe waved his hand.
Leng Ningshuang curled her lips, but did not mention the previous matter again, "Dad, are you going to report this to Emperor Yu?"
"Emperor Yu will always be Emperor Yu. Don't go beyond that."
Leng Shanhe said this lightly and then stood up and left. A lot of people had gathered in the court. All the people here were the core of Dayu, headed by the six ministers. They were divided into two factions regarding the plan for Tianxu Tower.
Conservatives, and radicals.
The conservatives are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice.
The radical faction is the Ministry of Industry.
The Minister of Works, Lu Qianqiu, shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he was debating with a group of scholars.
He made this trip for only one thing, which was to get the business order to build ancient heritage caves in all the small states.
"Besides my Ministry of Industry, who else is responsible for this project!"
The conservatives believe in the ability of the Ministry of Industry, but they believe even more in its ability to revitalize things. If they transform together, they will probably redefine many ancient traditions.
"Lu Qianqiu, this matter concerns Dayu's eternal peace. We don't trust you," the Minister of Justice took out a file from his sleeve.
This is the work that the Ministry of Industry has done since it let itself go.
When the Minister of Justice came, he had a premonition that Lu Qianqiu would shamelessly ask for the business order, so he prepared it in advance.
"I can write a letter of guarantee."
"I have also brought your letter of guarantee."
Seeing that the Minister of Justice was so aggressive, Lu Qianqiu also became angry, "You are all important figures, do you really want me to kneel down and beg you in public?"
"It's not like you haven't kneeled before."
Lu Qianqiu, who was ready to kneel down, was suddenly speechless.
Leng Shanhe, who rushed over, held his forehead and sighed, glancing in the direction of the dragon throne.
There was still mist there, and it was impossible to see Emperor Yu's expression clearly.
"Everyone, the scale of this project covers the entire universe. Only the Equipment Refiner Association can act without arousing suspicion."
Seeing that the emperor was not taking charge of the situation, Prime Minister Leng Shanhe had no choice but to speak out to deal with this difficult situation.
Lu Qianqiu immediately pointed at the other minister with a sullen face and burst into laughter.
"But the credibility of the Ministry of Works is too low. I would like to ask all the ministers to send people to monitor the whole process. Mr. Minister of Revenue, please pay more attention to the matter of checking the account books of the Ministry of Works."
The Minister of Revenue folded his hands across his chest and nodded.
Lu Qianqiu suddenly became paralyzed, but he did not protest anymore.
He is not really crazy, he really wants to do his job well this time.
"Then... there is the issue of Tianxu Tower's expenses," Leng Shanhe grinned, "Tianxu Tower still refuses to be funded by Dayu and insists on paying for it themselves. Your Excellency, the Minister of Revenue, please take a look..."
The Minister of Revenue's face changed, his lips turned pale, and he trembled constantly, as if he had fallen into some kind of madness. "I, I didn't take kickbacks! I don't know why it changed so much in the end!"
Leng Shanhe always felt that it was a bit exaggerated that the Minister of Revenue was so mentally fragile at such an age, but when Leng Shanhe saw other ministers gathered together and deliberately pointed fingers at the Minister of Revenue, Leng Shanhe suddenly felt that the Minister of Revenue was actually strong enough.
"Mr. Minister of the Ministry of Revenue! Building a cave of ancient heritage level does require so many spirit stones, which is a normal expense. And other lords, please stop pointing fingers. I don't want to see the five of you kneeling together at the door of the Ministry of Revenue when I approve the funds next year. It's very embarrassing!"
The five ministers' faces suddenly changed and they dispersed whistling.
"Of course, in order to effectively promote the sect registration system, the Taoist sect must confirm that Tianxu Tower has the ability to intimidate Dayu's Taoist lineage. Ji Liedi is a good example, but this alone is definitely not enough."
"But fortunately, in order to ensure the iron-blooded and ruthless nature of the Great Yu kingship, each successive generation of Emperor Yu was accompanied by a massacre. Many princes and princesses died in accidents, and many massacres became unsolved cases. It is just right to polish it up and give the Taoist sect a reasonable explanation."
All the ministers nodded.
Every prince and princess prepared at least three aliases to track down this person. With a little effort, they could fabricate an ancient sect and use the temptation of becoming emperor to join forces with the princes and princesses, but they would ultimately fail and be killed.
Leng Shanhe originally wanted to end it here, but suddenly he remembered the rumor that had been circulating some time ago that almost all contemporary princes and princesses were descendants of ancient sects, and a guess gradually came to his mind.
After a little thought, Leng Shanhe turned and looked in the direction of Emperor Yu, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, in order to convince the millions of Taoist sects that the influence of Tianxu Tower on Dayu has reached the point where you have to break the unspoken rules, take action against the super sects, and eliminate the hidden help of Tianxu Tower."
"Please allow the prince and princess to confirm some of the rumors that they are descendants of an ancient sect."
The ministers present held their breath.
The princes and princesses of the past are already [dead] in the social sense, so even if they mess around, they don’t have to worry about any impact on the current government.
But this generation of princes and princesses are still alive, and even the position of crown prince has not been decided yet.
The slightest carelessness might result in Emperor Yu having to sit on the dragon throne for a few more years.
Normally, Emperor Yu would never agree to this.
"allow."
“…”
The ministers were shocked.
There is something different about Emperor Yu! ! !
