Princess of the auxiliary country

Huo Jingzhi said the answer he got.

Duke Dingguo and Duke Ning both frowned.

They could all hear Huo Junyao's dissatisfaction, but thinking about the past, they understood.

"We have no choice but to do this for now. We can just explain it directly to the emperor when the time comes."

"It's just that I'm worried that those guys from the Guanzhong Group will stand up and cause trouble, as well as the nobles."

Duke Dingguo said with some worry.

He was not worried about how Huo Junyao would be affected by this.

Are you kidding, don’t look at who other people’s fathers are?

Huo Jingzhi is not a simple person, let alone Fang Qiao. Both of them are heavyweights in the court.

Of course, the most important point is the one from Da'an Palace. Last time they were in the palace, they could see clearly that that person was very supportive of Huo Junyao. With him supporting her, even the emperor would not be able to do anything to her. .

What he was worried about was that if things got too bad and Huo Junyao stopped playing, they wouldn't even be able to buy this thing, which would be a loss for their Yu Dynasty army.

"It doesn't matter. Speaking of Potian, there is no provision in the laws of the Yu Dynasty that private things must be handed over to the court. It's not entirely voluntary."

"Yes, besides, did the girl from the Huo family give Yu Chao too little? A little bit, and the court cannot be greedy."

Ning Guogong is very fond of Huo Junyao now. This niece is very kind. Just look at how much money Lao Cheng can make with just some arrangements.

This money will continue to be earned in the future, but it will help him get rid of a serious illness.

Putting aside these things, he also saw all the things Huo Junyao did in the past, and he admired them in his heart.

Soon he fell outside Chengtian Gate, where many courtiers had gathered.

Not long after, the palace door opened and a group of people entered in an orderly manner.

When Emperor Zhaowu arrived, he first discussed and dealt with the snow disaster prevention matters from various places, as well as some matters related to the Turks on the border.

Speaking of the Turks, Emperor Zhaowu looked very ugly. He said, "Let's fight. It's not appropriate. Let's not fight. This has always disgusted them and made him feel annoyed."

But even if he was annoyed, he had no choice but to order more precautions on the border.

"His Majesty."

Just when everyone thought the court meeting was about to end, Duke Dingguo, who rarely spoke in court, stood up.

"What's the matter with Duke Dingguo?"

"The Turks have repeatedly invaded the border. I feel that this cannot continue. If it continues, it will only increase their arrogance."

As soon as he said this, someone immediately stood up from the civil service side.

"Your Majesty, although the Turks are arrogant, the current situation in the Yu Dynasty is not optimistic. It may not be appropriate to start a war rashly."

"What's wrong with this? It's not like you, an old sour fellow, are going to go to the battlefield."

Ning Guogong also stood up.

"Reckless man, do you know how much trouble it will bring to the people of Yu Dynasty if you use weapons?"

Meng Xuancheng also stood up, and he had a problem with Ning Guogong. As long as Ning Guogong came out, Meng Xuancheng would be stunned.

"Does it mean that, according to what you said, there will be no trouble if you just hide in a turtle?"

"How long has it been since winter? The Turks have repeatedly invaded the border. How many people on our border have been robbed, killed, and plundered. Isn't this trouble?"

All of a sudden, the civil and military parties started quarreling again.

Emperor Zhaowu also had a headache, but it was not an option to keep arguing like this. He coughed twice and everyone became quiet.

"Dong Guo Gong, I am afraid that the current situation in the Yu Dynasty cannot be supported."

"I also feel that now is not the best time to attack the Turks, but I feel it is necessary to scare them."

"Oh? How to intimidate?" Emperor Zhaowu was a little curious. When the civil servants heard that they didn't want to fight, they didn't say anything. They all waited quietly for the next step.

"I wonder if the Emperor still remembers homemade bombs?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was suffocated, especially those in the Guanzhong Group, and their scalps were numb.

After all, they had just seen the horror of this thing not long ago.

"To be honest with your Majesty, I and Duke Ning have been thinking about this thing during this period, and have also talked to Duke Ji about it in private."

"I think it is necessary for the court to discuss this matter with Miss Huo San."

"Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo is right. It is indeed necessary to discuss this. Such a lethal weapon must not be in the hands of civilians."

"I propose that it be nationalized and that private people are strictly prohibited from manufacturing it."

When a civil servant stood up, a series of others immediately stood up, including people from the Central Group and the noble clans, and even from the sects of the King of Qi and the King of Chu.

It can be said that people from almost all factions in the court came forward to second the proposal.

"Tsk, tsk, you guys are really shameless."

"You nationalize things created by others with just one sentence. Why, are you guys so open and aboveboard in robbing people's things now?"

"What do you mean by those who read the books of sages? The books of your sages teach you such upright and powerful things?"

The speaker was Ning Guogong. When he spoke, his mouth was curled up, and his burly body was twisting and swinging from side to side, full of mockery.

This made these civil servants very angry.

"ordinary man."

"How dare you insult us like this."

"Is this bullying? Why didn't you say anything when you took someone's things?"

Ning Guogong was not afraid at all, even though there were as many as twenty or thirty civil servants facing him at this time.

"What else? Never let civilians get hold of such a destructive weapon."

"That was created by someone else. What does it have to do with you?"

"Your Majesty, I think this should not be done. Otherwise, if some people with ulterior motives in the court are interested in other people's things, and if they do this all of a sudden, wouldn't it mean that the court is openly robbing the people's things?"

"Then where is the majesty of the imperial court?"

Emperor Zhaowu nodded silently. He naturally wanted the thing very much, but Ning Guogong's statement was not unreasonable.

Some holes must not be opened. Once they are opened, there will be great trouble later, and it may even lead to chaos.

"Your Majesty, I do have a compromise."

They were almost noisy about Dingguo Public Construction, and then they started to continue.

"Oh? Duke Dingguo, please tell me."

"I think Ning Guogong is right in what he said. The imperial court must not rob the people of their things."

"However, the imperial court can purchase it. Just like this coal mine, the imperial court can spend money to purchase and use it. It is also very good."

"What Duke Ding Guo means is that the court went to Miss Huo San to buy the recipe for homemade bombs?"

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes lit up slightly. He thought this method was good.

It doesn’t matter if you spend a little more money.

"It's naturally good to be able to buy the production methods. If we can't buy the production methods, we can settle for the next best thing."

"I think we can first buy some homemade bombs and send them to the border to scare the Turks. This way we don't have to break our muscles and bones, but we can also scare the Turks. It's the best of both worlds."
