In the side hall.

As Minister of Industry, Li Jie has never enjoyed such treatment.

Basically, most of the courtiers looked at him from time to time, with strange looks in their eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Li Shangshu, I heard that His Majesty has summoned you to the palace every night during this period. I wonder what we want to discuss?"

Finally, an official came forward and asked Li Jie about this with a smile.

"Just a casual chat, or let me wait for the game. Your Majesty is very interested in chess recently."

Li Jie answered truthfully.

In fact, this is not the first time he has answered this way. Since the past few days, many people have asked frequently.

But no one believes it.

After receiving this answer, all the courtiers could not help but sneer.

I came to you late at night, secretly, without letting the eunuchs and maids pass the message, just to play chess?

Do you think we are all fools?

All the court officials sneered, but Li Jie and others were speechless. No one believed the truth.

During this period, the empress summoned them into the palace every day when the time came. From the three at the beginning to more than ten people at the end, everyone was together, either introducing themselves or playing chess.

They had to accompany the emperor when he was in a mood for elegance, but these courtiers also began to have doubts one by one.

To be honest, they have a clear conscience, so they don't care, because that's the truth.

It's just that the answers given by Li Jie and others were too unified and too direct. How could the courtiers not understand that there must be something big going on here?

Otherwise, these people wouldn't be so tough-mouthed.

"Hundred officials enter the palace."

At this moment, the eunuch's voice sounded, and all the officials arranged their court clothes and walked into the main hall.

After a while.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."

With the emergence of the empress Jiang Ling of the Wei Dynasty, all officials gathered together to perform the ceremony. The Wei Dynasty had a clear stipulation that all scholars were disciples of the emperor and were exempted from the kneeling ceremony.

"Everyone loves you."

The empress's voice sounded, and then the regular court meeting began.

Roughly speaking, it is to explain what happened in the Wei Dynasty. Those things are more difficult. We are currently giving these several options and hope that your majesty will make your choice.

Of course, we prefer this method. If you don't agree, if something happens, it's your fault. If you agree, if something happens, it's your choice.

Just play around and play.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea have been frequently plundering the people in Linhai recently. Your Majesty, please send troops to suppress them."

"Your Majesty, the Southern Barbarian Royal Court hopes to complete the marriage as soon as possible. The Ministry of Rites has scheduled it on the fifth day of next month. What do you think of Your Majesty?"

"A bandit rebellion broke out in the Yungui area. General Nian hopes that the imperial court will allocate one million taels to suppress the bandits and promote the power of the Wei Dynasty."

One by one, tedious matters were reported to the police. Jiang Ling did not answer too much, and only dealt with them temporarily.

Finally, Tobe Zuoshilang stood up.

"Your Majesty, the plan to convert rice into mulberry has been completely completed. Please take a look at it."

When the matter of converting rice into mulberry came out, all the courtiers chose to shut up because this was the biggest issue in the Wei Dynasty at present.

Chief Assistant Liu Yanming stood silently at the first position on the left, watching quietly.

"Send it up."

Jiang Ling spoke, and the maid Chu Yunrou next to her immediately walked down the steps, took the strategy, and finally handed it to the empress.

On the Dragon Throne.

The empress of the Wei Dynasty began to discuss the strategy. She watched carefully. After about a moment, Jiang Ling nodded.

"Well written."

"With this strategy, Zhening will be prosperous for thousands of years."

"I have to trouble Liu Aiqing with this matter. Liu Aiqing, if this matter is done well, I will reward you heavily."

Jiang Ling looked particularly satisfied.

"Your Majesty's Holy Grace, I will take care of the emperor's salary, so I will naturally share your worries for you. Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will do my best for this matter."

Liu Yanming spoke out, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

"What a great sentence to relieve your worries. No wonder my father has always said that Liu Aiqing is a minister of the Wei Dynasty."

"Working for the imperial court in this way can be said to be loyal and loyal. I remember that during this period, someone wrote a memorial to impeach Liu Aiqing."

"It is ridiculous to say that Liu Aiqing enriched his own pocket by converting rice into mulberry to earn money. Liu Aiqing, what do you think of this?"

The empress spoke up, mentioned the matter of impeachment, and directly photographed the policy on the jade case, looking particularly angry.

There was a sudden silence in the court hall.

"Your Majesty, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Changing rice to mulberry will benefit the country and the people. However, some people do not want to see the great Wei Dynasty prosperous. It can be described as a wolfish ambition."

"As for me, I have absolutely no selfish motives. However, in order to be fair and upright, I would like to ask your Majesty to thoroughly investigate my family background. If there is any favor from the people, I am willing to accept the punishment of punishment."

Liu Yanming is upright and upright.

At that moment, figures one after another stood up, praising Liu Yanming's selflessness and proposing to severely punish those who impeached him.

This is the power of partisanship.

However, some officials sneered inwardly, and they still had no support from the people. There was no support from the people in the Liu Mansion, and they would rather suffer the punishment of Ling Chi.

"I love you so much."

"How could I investigate the pillar of the country? I will never let villains succeed, and of course I will not let loyal ministers be tainted."

"Therefore, Liu Aiqing has full control over the matter of converting rice into mulberry."

"As for the location selection, it will be left to Li Aiqing, Minister of Industry."

Jiang Ling spoke seriously.

The first half of the sentence made Liu Dang very happy and called the emperor a sage.

But as soon as he said the second half of the sentence, the court fell silent in an instant.

Should Li Jie, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, be responsible for selecting the site?

What's going on?

Most of the courtiers knew what it meant to change rice to mulberry.

The most critical thing is site selection. Should such a great power be given to Li Jie?

What does this mean?

Among all the officials, Li Jie himself was confused.

How can you be involved in such a big thing as changing rice into mulberry?

And the most critical power is site selection.

Let yourself choose?

"Li Aiqing, won't you accept the order?"

At this moment, Jiang Ling's voice sounded, and Li Jie immediately walked out of the queue and spoke directly.

"Your Majesty, I may not be up to the task."

Li Jie is not stupid. This matter involves too much and he will never wade into troubled waters.

But as soon as he said these words, the empress's voice suddenly sounded.

"The matter of converting rice to mulberry will benefit the country and the people. Liu Aiqing worked hard for this matter, but was criticized and impeached by villains and thieves. I only made this move because of my reputation. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, you did not even choose the site." Don’t want to do it?”

"Is it worthy of the imperial court? Is it possible that Liu Aiqing has to do everything? The Great Wei is not the Great Wei you are waiting for?"

Jiang Ling said coldly.

But before Li Jie could answer, Liu Yanming spoke first: "Your Majesty, I am not worried about rumors. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out.

Jiang Ling ignored it, but looked at Li Jiedao.

"Every official, both civil and military, depends on the emperor's salary, but Liu Aiqing is the only one willing to share your worries?"

"In this case, the matter of converting rice to mulberry is shelved."

"Liu Aiqing, I will make the decision for you on this matter."

Jiang Ling was furious and appointed Li Jie.
