Princess of the auxiliary country

"Dong Guo's proposal is very good. I think you can give it a try."

Meng Xuancheng stood up.

As he stood up, many people also stood up.

Only Fang Qiao and Huo Jingzhi did not express their opinions.

After all, one of them is Huo Junyao's father, and the other is related to Huo Jingzhi. It is hard for them to take the initiative to express their opinions on this matter.

"I object."

Suddenly, a voice came out, and everyone followed the sound and saw an old man with a gray beard standing up.

Chen Hua, the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Chen Shangshu, why do you object?"

Emperor Zhaowu thought this was a good idea. Just like Ding Guogong said, even if he couldn't get the method to make it, he could still get the permission to use the homemade bomb.

It doesn't matter if he spends a little money. He also spends a lot of money on military expenses every year. The extra money can ensure the stability of the border. In his opinion, this is considered a profit.

After all, in every border battle, a lot of things will be lost. Instead of taking advantage of those Turks, it would be better to take advantage of Huo Junyao.

"Now that the national treasury is tight, how can we still have money to buy?"

"It is undeniable that using this thing to scare Turks is a good way, but the actual situation must also be considered."

"Chen Shangshu is right, and I also think it is inappropriate for the imperial court to purchase it."

Another official stood up.

The moment he saw this person standing up, Shen Huan, who had been silent in the crowd, frowned slightly.

For no other reason than that the person who stood up at this time was a member of the Guanzhong Group.

And as he stepped forward, it was as if a signal was sent out, and people from the Guanzhong Group one after another stepped forward.

"You people, I really don't know what you are thinking. You don't agree with this or that."

"So, what are we discussing at this great meeting today?"

Ning Guogong was extremely disdainful of these civil servants. He would discuss trivial matters over and over again, but in the end he remained still.

In this cold weather in the Jinluan Palace, it was just like a joke.

"Your Majesty, I agree with Duke Dingguo's proposal, but it is really because the national treasury is tight."

"So I think I can ask Miss Huo San to provide some assistance. After all, she is also a member of the Yu Dynasty."

As soon as this statement came out, those in the Guanzhong Group immediately jumped out to support him.

"Yes, as a member of the Yu Dynasty, at this moment, you should contribute to the country."

After hearing these people's words, Emperor Zhaowu fell silent.

Are you excited?

Naturally, he was moved, but he knew very well that it would be very inappropriate if he really did this.

After thinking about it, he looked at Huo Jingzhi and asked, "What do you think, Duke Ji?"

As soon as these words came out, they already represented Emperor Zhaowu's true inner thoughts. Huo Jingzhi stood up expressionlessly and handed over.

"As a member of the Yu Dynasty, it is necessary to contribute to the country."

"However, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask the Emperor and other ministers to answer it."

Everyone looked at him quietly, waiting for him to ask.

"It has been less than two years since my little girl was found and entered the capital. Has she prepared less for the country?"

"Paper has made it convenient for scholars all over the world, bricks and tiles have made it convenient for people all over the world, and corn has given people another kind of high-yielding food, including potatoes."

"Do these count as contributions?"

As soon as this statement came out, no one could refute it.

When no one spoke, Huo Jingzhi continued, "Since they are all contributions, why do you just ask my daughter to make contributions, but no one makes any move?"

"Just now, Chen Shangshu said that there is no money in the national treasury and cannot be purchased. Since these adults support Chen Shangshu, why don't you ministers take the initiative to contribute to the country and donate your family wealth to replenish the national treasury?" "Really speaking, I am just a little girl. A white body is nothing compared to you."

"You, your ministers, enjoy the salary of the state and do not want to contribute to the country. Instead, you blindly ask for nothing to contribute to the country."

"I want to ask here, where are your faces? Did you go home when you went out this morning?"

Huo Jingzhi looked around, and the entire court fell into a dead silence for a while. This was a bit harsh.

Even Emperor Zhaowu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt his cheeks were a little burning at this time.

"The things belong to the little girl. If the court wants to buy them, they can arrange for someone to negotiate with them. If they don't want to buy them, that's okay."

"But if anyone wants to take advantage of it to contribute to the country, then he should think about it himself."

After finishing his words, Huo Jingzhi bowed to Emperor Zhaowu and then returned to the train.

Now the Guanzhong Group did not dare to speak.

After all, his words of "weighing and weighing" were too threatening.

"Let this be the case for now. Let me think about it carefully and let the court be dismissed."

Emperor Zhaowu felt a little aggrieved at this time.

After all, if this person is slapped in the face in public, he will be a little angry no matter what he says, but he can't say it out loud, after all, it doesn't make sense.

After Emperor Zhaowu left, Huo Jingzhi also turned around and walked out.

When they left the main hall, a voice greeted them from behind.

"Huo Shangshu, walk slowly."

Huo Jingzhi stopped and turned around to look, only to see that the person coming was Chen Hua, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Master Chen, I don't know what you mean by calling me to stop?"

Seeing him like this, Chen Hua felt a little helpless and said, "Huo Shangshu, what I said just now is not malicious. It is because the Ministry of Revenue really has no money, so I can only come up with this method. There is no other way." mean."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi nodded and said, "Master Chen always handles official business. I naturally knew that and didn't think too much about it."

Huo Jingzhi still knew Chen Hua well. After all, he had worked with him for many years and he believed that Chen Hua did not have any bad intentions.

At this moment, Gao Fu hurriedly walked over.

"Mr. Ji Guo, the emperor invites you."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi bowed his hands to Chen Hua, turned around and followed Gao Fu to the imperial study room.

At this time in the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu looked very gloomy. When he heard Gao Fu say that Duke Ji Guo had arrived, he calmed down the gloominess on his face.

When Huo Jingzhi entered the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu's face showed no trace of gloom at all.

"Respect, come and sit."

Huo Jingzhi bowed his hands and then walked over slowly.

"There is nothing I can do about this matter today. The Turks have repeatedly invaded the border. Does the Ministry of Household Affairs have any money?"

"Your Majesty, I naturally understand how difficult it is for you to do this."

"I respect you, what do you think of Duke Dingguo's proposal today?"

Huo Jingzhi nodded and said, "Deterring the Turks is naturally the best plan at the moment."

He never mentioned the purchase of homemade bombs later.

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu became more and more angry, but he still suppressed his anger and continued, "Yes, but if you want to scare the Turks, it would be inappropriate to use ordinary methods."

"So there is room for discussion about this homemade bomb. Yu Chao really needs it."

"This minister cannot give you an answer, Your Majesty. After all, Yaoyao made that thing."

"Yao Yao is an independent woman. So what do you think? I don't need her production method. I only need 10,000 home-made bombs. As long as she is willing, I can decree to restore her title."
