Chapter 304 It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they care about this?
Minister of Rites Xu Ming said unconcernedly, "Who doesn't know that Prince Yan is a martial arts master? It's no problem for him to suppress bandits. Lord Pei, please don't exaggerate!"
The Minister of Justice laughed sarcastically: "So high martial arts skills can make you invincible. If that's the case, then in the future, military commanders should just practice martial arts. Why would they need to pay attention to military tactics?"
Xu Ming was choked by his words, opened his mouth, and said dryly: "That's not what I meant, Lord Pei, please don't misinterpret my meaning!"
The Minister of Justice chuckled and said, "Since Lord Xu agrees with what I say, please continue to listen to me."
After he finished speaking, he said solemnly: "Suppressing bandits is like leading troops to fight a war. Not only do you need strong martial arts, but you also need sophisticated strategies and layouts. The reason why the Prince of Yan was able to successfully suppress the bandits and rescue the hostages within half a day was because he and the Princess of Yan jointly directed a plan within a plan. You said that the Prince of Yan was obsessed with lust, so I would like to ask everyone present, who among you is willing to let your wife personally take risks?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
The Minister of Justice continued, "The bandit problem may be eliminated by any general in due time, but if the corruption in the Jingzhou government office is not eradicated, if there is another bandit problem in the future, will we waste the court's manpower, material resources and financial resources to support it? The Prince of Yan went to the Jingzhou government office under pressure to clean up the Jingzhou government office, inject new blood into the court and bring hope to the people. In return, is it us who are ignorant of the facts and wantonly criticize him behind his back?
As for the claim that he stayed in Jingzhou secretly, it is nonsense. The information I received was that the Prince of Yan originally wanted to return with his wife as soon as possible, but he was forced to change his itinerary because of the requests of the wife of the new prefect and those suffering women.
Are you all oblivious to what is happening outside? Haven't you heard that the hot pot restaurant that is popular in our capital has opened in the remote area of Jingzhou? It was opened by the Princess of Yan for those poor women who are not accepted by their families. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. With the blessing of this hot pot restaurant, they will have the confidence and ability to be self-reliant in this society in the future!
You are all officials appointed by the court and officials who are our parents. Are you going to turn a deaf ear to the people who need our help?"
The words of the Minister of Justice were like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of the ministers, making them dare not speak easily again.
The atmosphere in the court became extremely solemn.
Xiao Jun'an couldn't help but look at him a few more times. A Minister of Justice is equivalent to the entire court. Has he already been recruited by Xiao Hanye?
Then he shook his head again.
This was not the first time he had performed such a feat. He had also saved the situation for Prince Ning once. At that time, Prince Ning actually bent his noble back and visited him three times at his cottage, but his visit ended in vain.
Such a person will certainly not be easily bribed!
In fact, Xiao Junan's guess was correct. Xiao Hanye did not completely win over this stubborn old man, but he won over his son Pei Zhiyan. With his son, was he still afraid that this stubborn old man would not be of use to him?
The emperor did not think much about it. After all, Minister Pei was a veteran of three dynasties. He was stubborn, upright, and a peacemaker person. He could fight with others today, and protect them with his life tomorrow. So, he was not surprised.
However, we have to admit that this old minister is indeed a miracle in the court.
Inside the Shadow Pavilion, Chu Zhaoyu was playing with the poisonous scorpion in his hand, looking very interested.
Because of the intervention of the city defense army, he could no longer do whatever he wanted to Chu Ziyu, and he was at his wits' end. When he heard that Shen Quan was going to take action against Chu Ziyu in the imperial examination, how could he not be happy?
This evil boy is so stubborn. He knows that he is his father, but he still stubbornly wants to reverse the verdict on behalf of someone else's father.
I was really taught to be so stupid by Chu Zhaoming!
The Chu family abandoned him and should bear the guilt forever.
So, how could he allow them to overturn the verdict?
At this time, Ye Ying came in and reported: "Master, Prince Nanye sent a message saying that Prince Ning's leg was crippled."
"Oh?" His eyes moved slightly, "King Yan did it?"
The reason why he spoke so freely was because he knew that apart from the Emperor of Beixiao, the Emperor of Nanye, him, Prince Yu and Prince Yan, no one else in the world had this ability.
If he had not been absolutely sure that the previous four would never risk doing such a thing, he probably would not have known about it.
It seems that Prince Ning's successive actions really angered Prince Yan...
Ye Ying did not reply, because he did not know who had done it. He pursed his lips and continued, "At that time, Prince Ning was boating on the lake with Princess Nanye. Somehow the boat capsized. Then Prince Ning quickly sank to the bottom, and Princess Nanye took the opportunity to climb back to the lakeshore and sneaked back to the inn... Prince Nanye was afraid that this incident would implicate Princess Nanye, so he took his sister to the palace at night to report the matter to the Emperor of Beixiao."
"Well, let's go. The Emperor of Beixiao is not stupid. If he thinks about it for a moment, he will know that it is not something that the stupid princess can do!" Chu Zhaoyu replied casually.
Originally, he wanted to marry Princess Nanye to his son An'er, but they didn't like each other...
Therefore, he could only come up with another plan and make the most of Princess Nanye as a chess piece...
Meanwhile, in Jingzhou, Chu Nanyue, who was dining in a private room upstairs, was in great joy.
"I never thought that in Jingzhou, a remote and poor place, the people's spending power is so strong, even better than that of the capital!"
She looked through the curtains at the customers queuing downstairs with a smile on her face.
Yes, with her strong support, the Cang Yue Hot Pot Restaurant has been operating in Jingzhou, and it was built according to the model of their Cang Yue main store in the capital.
If you want to join a franchise, you naturally have to have a consistent style. It is always a good idea to copy other people's successful examples.
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as well: "Sister Princess, I'm going to be rich now. I invested all the reward money you and King Yan gave me!"
She had originally invested the money with her eyes closed in grief, but she had not expected it to be so helpful. She was extremely excited.
How can a broken heart be healed? Only money.
Xiao Tao was a little jealous: "How come you, a poor singer, have surpassed me in wealth in the blink of an eye?"
Roar, she doesn’t accept it!
How to get rich overnight? Only by investing.
Xiao Yuruo was disappointed: "But I lost my love!"
Xiao Tao expressed that she felt healed and that she and Leng Jiu had been getting along very harmoniously recently. Besides, following her princess, she wouldn't have to spend her own money.
Looking at the women on the first floor who were busy but had bright faces, Chu Nanyue smiled without saying a word.
The trip to Jingzhou has been successfully resolved, and it is time for her to go back, as her elder brother will be taking the imperial examination soon.
