Chapter 241 Don’t be embarrassed if you don’t understand

Although Leng Lanzhi stood in the court these days, he rarely took the initiative to participate in discussions.

She knows what she is. Although she has learned some aspects of various aspects, she has not been exposed to them deeply. Moreover, she is a new person in this meeting. Expressing opinions rashly will not make her look like she is No matter how smart you are, it will only expose your shortcomings.

So most of the time, she listened quietly and learned something from the courtiers' discussions.

Moreover, she can also more intuitively feel the factional disputes in the court.

First of all, naturally it was the princelings headed by the prince. The newly promoted Minister of Household Affairs He, Lord Announcement Jiang, and a group of old-school military generals in the court all openly supported the prince.

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites supported the King of Qin.

The Minister of Punishment supported the King of Yue.

But the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is usually the most low-key, can't tell who he is supporting.

In addition to these three major factions, a group of civil servants headed by the Prime Minister were royalists and only supported Emperor Jianliang on the throne.

People from all over the world often quarreled over trivial matters. Leng Lanzhi thought it was new at first, but after hearing it for too long, he became very bored.

After all, what can be brought up at the court meeting are basically all major issues related to international people's livelihood.

Sometimes, the advice given by someone clearly sounds very reliable.

But just because of the party affiliation, constructive suggestions are often not implemented.

Problems that can be solved in one day may even drag on for three or four days, or even longer.

Not to mention her father, even she found it extremely annoying.

For example, the question that the skin doctor just asked her——

Wala was attacked by locusts last year, causing all their food to be devoured by locusts and leading to food shortages.

Some courtiers suggested that Taifu Temple should come up with ways to defeat the locusts as soon as possible. In this way, even if the locusts really fly to Shengguo this year, they will not affect the people of Shengguo.

Just such a thing caused a quarrel in the court.

Some people who disagreed felt that this move was a waste of time. After all, the disaster-stricken area in Wala was thousands of miles away from Shengguo. Even if those locusts could fly, they might not fly to Shengguo.

Some people fished in troubled waters and wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Leng Lanzhi.

They all hated Leng Lanzhi for the review a few days ago.

In particular, there were a few adults who were lucky and thought that the emperor would not really check, so they tried to fool things around.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Gu Zhan's mad dog really sent him a [-]-word self-criticism.

The dignified Gu Diansi has already written a self-criticism. What good can those of them who fish in troubled waters gain?

As a result, they were immediately fined three months' salary and had to write an additional [-] words of self-reflection...

Gu Zhan was not here today, so they wanted to see who would stand up for her!

Leng Lanzhi glanced at the speaker indifferently: "I agree with what most people have said. Locust plagues happen every year. Even if those locusts don't fly to Shengguo next year, what about the year after tomorrow? What about the year after tomorrow?" The minister laughed and said: "Princess, it is too unreasonable to worry. Our Sheng Kingdom has not seen a locust plague for ten years. It must be that His Majesty's blessings have blessed our Sheng Kingdom to have good weather and not be invaded by evil spirits."

Someone immediately echoed: "After all, Tianhai City relies on pearl tax as its main revenue, and the princess will only focus on pearls, so she does not understand the agricultural tax and the importance of farming to people's livelihood."

The prince felt that what the minister said was very true.

Seeing that Leng Lanzhi was about to speak, he was afraid that his little sister would say something embarrassing, so he quickly spoke first: "Jia Luo, farming is the foundation of a country. Please listen with an open mind."

After speaking, the prince thought carefully about his words and felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

How could Jia Luo, a woman and a pampered princess, understand this?

If she doesn't understand, it's best to keep silent and don't talk nonsense, otherwise she will only humiliate herself.

He, the elder brother, reminded her to shut up in a subtle way to avoid embarrassing her and offending others. Now, Jia Luo could feel his elder brother's thoughts, right?
Leng Lanzhi: "..."

Her expression was a little indescribable.

When the minister saw this, the proud light in his eyes became more and more obvious, but his face suddenly became frightened: "I said something wrong, princess, please forgive me!"

Seeing that the minister looked like he was afraid of being blamed by Leng Lanzhi, the prince frowned disapprovingly: "Jialuo, look at how you scared people into this?"

Leng Lanzhi looked at him coolly: "Brother Emperor, from the beginning to now, I have only said one thing that I agree with the majority of people, right? Have I ever said anything against this Master Pi?"

The prince was taken aback.

Think about it carefully, really not.

Leng Lanzhi looked at him indifferently: "Master Pi is an official of the Ministry of Punishment, right? The criminal cases that the Ministry of Punishment comes into contact with on weekdays include not only ordinary people from their own folk, but also some murderous villains, and even dandies and bullies who use their power to bully others. Officials and gentry, could it be that when Lord Pi faced these people, he would be scared out of his wits before these people could attack?"

Pi's expression changed: "I don't have any!"

On the Jinluan throne, Emperor Jianliang's face was already very ugly.

These guys, it seems that a [-]-word review is not enough for them!
Leng Lanzhi folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, his posture was dignified, but every word was bloody: "That is, you only put on this appearance to me, so that people would think that I am the one who bullies others and bullies you in public. ?”

Master Pi knelt down with a thud: "I don't have you! Please give me a clear warning from your majesty! Please give me a clear warning from the princess!" He said with a pale face: "Xiaoguan is sincerely thinking about the farming affairs of our Shengguo, and has no intention of targeting the princess! "

Smiling coldly, Leng Lanzhi said expressionlessly: "There are thirteen provinces in the Sheng Kingdom, with hundreds of subordinate cities. Although my Tianhai City is not the largest city, the agricultural tax paid every year ranks among the cities. Top five!”

"It is true that I am not good at farming, but I have officials who manage farming and people who are good at farming!"

Her phoenix eyes coldly glanced at everyone present. Although she was just a woman, her height was not as high as that of most of the men present, but her aura made everyone dare not look at her.

"Every time Tianhai City implements a new farming decree, it must be approved by this palace."

"I at least know why Tianhai City can pay the top five taxes with a very small farming population. Master Pi, what about you? Have you put forward any useful suggestions for generating income?"

Looking around again, his eyes fell on the faces of everyone in the field.

She didn't say another word, but the people present miraculously understood what she meant - who do you think you are?Dare to doubt me!
Among the people she disdained was the prince: "His Royal Highness, do you have any questions?"
