He took a deep breath and said, "Oh, by the way, father, I have one more thing to report."
Zhao Ji frowned.
This rebellious son.
He actually said he didn't want to listen.
His eyes gradually turned cold, and he looked down at Zhao Qi, staring at his son for a long time. However, he saw Zhao Qi's posture of bowing and bowing became lower and lower, his body trembling a little, and he didn't show any intention of stepping back.
He narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Tell me what's going on."
Zhao Qi took a deep breath and said, "I heard that the order to relocate people was not going well. The people in Wei and Han were content with their poverty and had no intention of reforming the country. As a result, in the past month or so, less than a thousand households have moved to the new land.
Migrating people is the foundation of the reform. If the people do not move in, it would be a waste of the efforts of my father and my husband.
I, your son, cannot bear to see my father's hard work go to waste. I have been unable to sleep at night for nearly a month, racking my brains, and hoping every day to help my father solve this problem.
Fortunately, I finally thought of it! "
Hearing what he said.
Ying Wuji couldn't help but curl his lips. He was just curious about how that old man Zhao Ying was going to withstand Zhao Ji's wrath.
Unexpectedly, the first move was to let Zhao Qi take the blame.
This Pingling Jun is really a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
In order to gain benefits from Zhao Ying.
He even dared to pull out his own father's beard!
And it happened on New Year's Eve.
What a filial son with a strong sense of career ambition!
"Oh? You thought of it!"
Zhao Ji was still smiling, but the smile on his face was getting colder and colder, and his eyes were getting colder and colder: "Then tell me in detail how to solve the problem of no one available in the new land."
Zhao Qi looked at his smile and couldn't help feeling a little fear in his heart.
But he still raised his head and said with courage: "My father! The people of Wei and Han are reluctant to leave their homeland. In addition, the two families are obstructing us. It is too difficult to relocate the people from these two places.
But the new land was taken from Di Guohu by our Zhao family at a huge cost of money and grain and by sending out a large army. We must manage it well. Every wasted month is a huge loss.
During this period, we were in urgent need of population, but there were no common people to be found. Even in the Zhao family's hometown, we were reluctant to give up such a large population.
I once sounded out Marquis Changping's attitude and found that he had no interest in relocating the people to a new place.
But I persuaded Qi with reason and emotion, and finally made him relent. He was willing to move 100,000 households to the new land, and then gradually persuade the people of Zhao to move there in the spring of next year. "
After saying that.
He couldn't help but take a few heavy breaths.
He said these words in front of Zhao Ji, feeling tremendous pressure.
He knew that if he just talked, Zhao Ji would just get angry at most, and it would not cause any substantial punishment.
After all, he has the background of Li family and Zhou royal family, plus the identity of Master Li. Even if the parties do not pay much attention to him, they will regard him as a tool to deal with the other families. As long as it does not violate taboos, no one will think of destroying a tool.
These words are obviously lies with open eyes.
Because his trip was just to help Marquis Changping share the pressure.
As long as you say this, your goal has been achieved.
Moreover, he has made sufficient contingency plans. No matter how Zhao Ji questioned this approach, he could always make a few sophistry arguments and absolve himself of responsibility to the greatest extent possible.
But unexpectedly.
Zhao Ji did not question the decision at all. Instead, he asked a question that left Zhao Qi puzzled: "So, you also think that the order to relocate people was blocked everywhere because of the interference of the Wei and Han families?"
Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes!"
Zhao Ji sneered, his eyes becoming more indifferent: "Since you think Wei and Han are all bad people, why didn't you say a word in the court for the past month? Did I raise a son like you just to complain in private?"
Zhao Qi: “…”
This approach was so novel that it really caught him off guard.
Why don't you attack the opinions, but directly attack the person?
Zhao Ji glanced at him indifferently and slowly asked a question: "When a prince of the royal family makes a serious mistake, should he stand and listen when he is scolded?"
Zhao Qi's face froze.
Gritted his teeth.
He could only kneel on the ground: "I know I was wrong! It's just that the Wei and Han families found too many excuses. I wanted to impeach them for their selfish motives, but I couldn't find any reason to impeach them..."
Zhao Ji interrupted directly with a wave of his hand: "If you look carefully, can you not find it? Wuji, tell me, if you want to impeach the Wei and Han families, is there a way to impeach them?"
"have!"
Ying Wuji grinned. He had actually prepared this thing.
It was originally intended to wait for the Northern Expedition to come to an end so as to be used in the war of public opinion with the Wei and Han families. At that time, it should be handed over to Luo Yan, allowing the old prime minister to start a fight with the Wei and Han families.
I didn't expect to be able to take it out now.
He smiled and pulled out a booklet from his arms: "Father! The essay is all done!"
Zhao Ji took the booklet and threw it in front of Zhao Qi, scolding him harshly, "Just now I scolded Wu Ji for not being able to speak nicely, did you really think I was scolding Wu Ji?
As a prince of a country, you clearly know who is right and who is wrong, but you dare to act like a coward when facing Wei and Han.
Since you have already become a coward, why bother making an impassioned speech in front of me in private?
Take a look at this booklet and answer me again, can't you find a way to impeach the Wei and Han families?"
"Why!"
Zhao Qi was sweating profusely and could only open the booklet tremblingly. He found that the logic of the impeachment in the booklet was extremely clear, and the crimes of the Wei and Han families were listed one by one. No matter how true or exaggerated they were, they were shocking.
