Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 451;

The official was so frightened by Emperor Hongwen's stare, he immediately backed away, not daring to talk nonsense.

King Ning, who was standing in front of him, also had a very ugly expression at this time.

In a place like this, the emperor didn't think about using him at all. What does this mean?
Is it true that as others said, the emperor never thought of making him the crown prince at all?And intends to eradicate the faction of Zhen Guogong and the forces in the court, is it not possible?
Since the queen was imprisoned, King Ning felt that everything around him seemed to have changed a lot.

Those who originally supported him began to gradually alienate him.

Among them, the one who made him feel the most wrong was Zhen Guogong. In the past, this uncle had done his best to him.

But now this uncle seems to have changed. He asked him many times to help find a way to rescue the queen mother, but Zhen Guogong just told him not to worry, and didn't mean to help at all.

Even a few times, when he went to the Duke's Mansion and wanted to see him, he was excused and said it was inconvenient.

In the past, King Ning always relied on the fact that he was the queen's heir, and that he had the support of Duke Zhen behind him, thinking that the crown prince would be his one day.

No one paid much attention to her, but now that the queen is under house arrest, and Lord Zhen has changed his support from the past, he feels a lot of pressure in an instant.

My heart began to be unbalanced, and I even said that I started to hold grudges.

At this time, even his own father treated him like this, causing the hatred in his heart to soar again.

But he only dared to resent in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

He doesn't have many supporters around him, whether it's against Duke Shangzhen or the emperor, his strength is too weak.

"Your Majesty, since the iron workshop has been handed over to Prime Minister Dong, can the salt workshop be handed over to the household department?"

At this time, Shangshu Hubu suddenly stood up.

The big sale of snowflake salt has made a lot of money for the court. The Ministry of Household Affairs, as the court's money bag, must be in its own hands.

The iron workshop is gone, and the others in the salt workshop are bound to win, so how could the Ministry of Households be allowed to go?
The first to jump out to refute is the Ministry of Industry.

Those reasons are that those craftsmen are all from the Ministry of Industry, and should be handed over to them for management.

If it is handed over to the Ministry of Households, isn't it the Ministry of Households' involvement in the Ministry of Handicrafts?

The six ministries have always performed their duties without interfering with each other.

The Ministry of War also immediately had something to say, what to say, the transportation of snowflake salt has always been done by their people, and the money sold in various places is also shipped back by them. They are familiar with the needs of various places, so they should be handed over to them.

All the ministers quarreled again.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Hongwen's face became more and more ugly.

"Father, my son has something to say."

Suddenly King Ning stood up.

Everyone fell silent.

"Oh? What does King Ning have to say? It's okay to just say it."

Emperor Hongwen showed doubts on his face.

"My son, this salt workshop cannot be handed over to the court."

"Oh? Why?"

Originally thought that King Ning would also come out to fight, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing, which made Emperor Hongwen a little surprised.

"Because of the Han family, as we all know, the Han family has a lot of salt mine resources in their hands."

"In the past years, they controlled the salt industry, but the price of salt remained high, and many people could not afford it."

"The owner of Wanfu County offered snowflake salt. His father sympathized with the people and set the price at an extremely low price so that the people can all eat high-quality salt. This is the blessing of the people."

"The Han family has a lot of connections in the imperial court. If you rashly hand over the salt workshop to the imperial court, there is no guarantee that the method of making the snowflake salt will not be leaked. If the Han family gets it, how can we explain to the people of the world?"

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and pondered.

Patronizing the fight, but ignored this matter.

They all knew how important snowflake salt was to Emperor Hongwen, and it was his trump card to suppress and defeat the Han family.

As long as the formula is not exposed for a day, Han's life will become more and more difficult.

These people are fighting for joy, but if the formula of Snowflake Salt is exposed in their hands, what will happen?
I'm afraid that Emperor Hongwen will be furious when the time comes, and the beheading is a small matter, and everyone may be ransacked and exterminated.

"Then what do you think?"

"My son thought that it would be best to hand it over to the royal family for temporary management, and return it to him when Jin Wangshu returns."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded and continued; "King Ning's concern is good, but leaving it to the royal family is not enough."

"After all, this is something of the court. If the royal family intervenes, I am worried that there will be trouble at that time."

How could Emperor Hongwen not see the little Jiujiu in King Ning's heart?

If you don't fight by yourself, it's the reigning queen who plans.

If he agrees to hand it over to the royal family, then he will definitely need to contact the queen's confinement.

After all, Concubine Xian can only manage the harem. The royal family money is related to all the royal family members. How can she be a concubine?
In the end, the queen has to come out to hold it down.

If the salt industry is handed over to the royal family, what is the difference between handing it over to him and Lord Zhen Guo?
"I do have a proposal."

"King Ning just said it right. The method of making this snowflake salt is very precious, and it is really not safe to hand it over to the imperial court."

"However, there is one person who is more suitable for temporary management."

Everyone is puzzled, it is not safe to hand it over to the court, so who will it be handed over to?
"Princess Wanfu, what do you guys think of leaving it to her?"

As soon as this remark came out, Dong Xiang was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this snowflake salt was originally offered by the owner of Wanfu County, and King Jin is in charge of managing it. It can be said that without the two of them, there would be no snowflake salt now." .”

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

"Master Wanfu, a woman, how can she get involved in court affairs?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, this is court affairs, and the daughter of Princess Wanfu must not interfere."

"Why not? How much has Princess Wanfu offered to Dongzhou? This Snowflake Salt would not have appeared without her. Now she is only in charge of it temporarily, not forever."

"As the saying goes, those who can do more work, and she doesn't come to meddle in the court's affairs, why not?"

Dong Xiang finally understood that Emperor Hongwen actually already had a plan in mind.

He has no objection to handing it over to Lord Wanfu, on the contrary, he thinks it's best.

Firstly, there is no need to worry that the Han family will get the formula, and secondly, there is no need to worry about the Zhen Guogong faction growing stronger again.

"It's not that there is no one in our imperial court. If we want a woman to take care of it, wouldn't it make people laugh when it gets out?"

"That is, the minister does not agree to this matter, and women are not allowed to participate in politics. This is the rule left by the ancestors."

"Even if Princess Wanfu's achievements are greater than the heavens, he must not break the rules of the ancestors."

Regarding the reaction of these people, Emperor Hongwen had expected it a long time ago, and he was not angry at all, but turned his head and gave Wang De a look.

"Xuan, Princess Wanfu has an audience."

The sudden sound made everyone below shut their mouths.

Soon the owner of Wanfu County came in from the outside. Seeing this scene, Manchu Wenwu didn't know that Emperor Hongwen had already thought about it.
