Chapter 928 Prime Minister, you have so many dramas

Author: Rensu

Li Xin smiled and said, "Master Zhao is obviously jealous and angry, but there is nothing he can do about it."

"Brother Huai, you gave him a chance, but he didn't grasp it."

While the two were talking, the eunuch Ji Ming came to announce that he had entered the palace to attend court, and the courtiers entered the government hall one after another.

After talking about some routine matters, Ying Zheng looked at the important ministers and asked slowly: "My dear friends, do you have anything else to discuss?"

Ying Zheng looked around and saw that Prime Minister Wang Wan's eyes were a little erratic, so he asked: "Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?"

Wang Wan heard about the cooperation between Shangjun Courtyard and Qi Mansion yesterday and has been hesitating whether to say it or not. If he did, he would definitely offend Huaiguzi.

But I am the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. In my position, I must govern in a certain way. I cannot keep silent just because I offend others.

Wang Wan stood up and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I heard some news yesterday that someone formed a clique for personal gain."

Ying Zheng frowned, thinking that now that the world is peaceful and the people are healthy, there are still unscrupulous people who want to cause trouble?

It seems that peace has been going on for a long time and some people can't stay idle.

Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

Wang Wan whispered: "I heard that it is Huaiguzi and Mr. Qi."

Li Shui had half-closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap, thinking that someone could no longer bear the loneliness and wanted to form a clique for personal gain. Unexpectedly, Wang Wan called his name the next moment.

Li Shui glanced at Wang Wan, but there was no reaction in his heart. He knew that this matter was normal. Even if no one raised it today, someone would object tomorrow.

After all, he looked at the brochure that was delivered yesterday and found that Wang Wan was not in it. Of course, he didn't bother to do these things.

Mr. Qi is not so calm. After all, he has been in the spotlight recently. He took a day of sick leave yesterday. He wanted to avoid suspicion and reduce the attention paid to him.

Unexpectedly, I happily came to court today and was called upon again.

When Master Qi heard Wang Wan refer to him, his heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid of what might happen.

As a Confucian scholar, I can form any party or pursue any selfish interests. If I tell anyone, how can anyone believe me?

But some people did believe it.

That was the group of Confucian scholars who gradually moved away from Mr. Qi while waiting outside the Council Hall.

When they heard that Wang Wan said that Lord Qi and Huaiguzi had formed a party for personal gain, the courtiers started talking a lot.

Of course, this includes the Confucian scholars. They dare not offend Huaiguzi, but when they look at Master Qi, their eyes become even sharper.

While waiting outside the Council Hall, I still had doubts about Lord Qi's actions. Now that Prime Minister Wang Wan has brought it up, it seems that what he said is true.

These Confucian scholars are more convinced that Mr. Qi's behavior, especially the recent series of actions, is not worthy of being associated with them.

They silently agreed that Mr. Qi had changed and became worldly. It broke their hearts to be mixed up with Huai Guzi who could not even recognize his words.

Of course, Mr. Qi didn't think so much. All he was thinking about now was his own business. After all, theoretical research still needs a material foundation.

He talks so much about benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust that he cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for his family, so who can he teach?

Ying Zheng was a little angry when he heard that someone was forming a clique for personal gain, and he was very reluctant to arrest the person immediately.

But as soon as I heard about Huaiguzi, I immediately felt relieved, saying that Huaiguzi was messing around again, and still believed it. It was impossible to say that Huaiguzi formed a clique for personal gain.

Although Huaiguzi married the princess, Yingzheng couldn't be too protective and indifferent, so he turned and frowned at Huaiguzi.

Li Xin was very puzzled, wasn't Brother Huai and Lord Qi cooperating to make wine, why was he said to be a clique for personal gain? It was obvious that he was furious and jealous because he did not get the profit share.

Li Xin now looks at everyone the same. Anyone who says the wine is not good will be regarded as jealous.

Li Xin originally wanted to step forward to refute, but was stopped by Li Shui's look. Li Shui shook his head slightly at Li Xin, as if telling Li Xin to listen to what they said first.

Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Wan and said, "Why did they form a party for personal gain?"

Wang Wan said slowly: "Your Majesty, Huaiguzi seems to be trying to win over Mr. Qi to make wine together. I also heard that not only Mr. Qi's family was attracted, but also several ministers were attracted by Huaiguzi, and they sent winemakers to Shangjun Courtyard.

register."

Li Xin couldn't help but interjected: "If it's just a cooperation in brewing wine, it can't be considered a clique for personal gains."

Wang Wan said: "Your Majesty, if it's just wine making, that's it. But after all, they are a cooperative relationship, so they must have interests."

"If all the ministers have interests in dealing with Shangjun's Courtyard, it is inevitable that they will not be coerced by Shangjun's Courtyard in the long run."

"If Shangjun's palace has evil intentions and has the voices of most of the courtiers."

"Our country, the Qin Dynasty, is in danger. Your Majesty, we must guard against this matter."

Li Xin rolled his eyes after hearing this, and silently gave Wang Wan a thumbs up, thinking: Wang Wan, Wang Wan, you really deserve to be the prime minister, you have so many dramas in your heart.

It's no wonder that if you are short-sighted, you won't be able to reach the position of prime minister.

Master Qi was shocked after hearing what Wang Wan said. He was not afraid of being accused of forming a clique for personal gain. After all, he was not afraid of shadows, and he had not done anything that violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty.

The thing that Mr. Qi is most worried about is that after Wang Wan's interference and His Majesty's careful consideration, he simply stopped allowing Huaiguzi to make wine, or other people were not allowed to participate.

Then wouldn't the financial situation of my family take a turn for the worse?

In the past two days, my wife and I have been immersed in the dream of sharing the profits after mass production of low-alcohol wine, and we are no longer as frugal with food and drink as before.

He has even ordered his servants to recruit more sensible and clever servants.

If the cooperation with Shangjun Courtyard fails, it will be difficult to maintain the life of the whole family with just that little salary. At that time, I am afraid that they will have no choice but to move to the outskirts of Xianyang City.

The more Mr. Qi thought about it, the more painful he became, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Ying Zheng glanced at Mr. Qi, thinking he had something to say, so he asked, "Does Qi Aiqing have something to say?"

Mr. Qi stood up, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I am indeed cooperating with Mr. Huai, but it is only for the wine-making business, and it does not involve government affairs, let alone forming a party for private gain."

"Because most of the people in Ji Nei and his fellow villagers make a living by brewing corn wine, Master Huai cooperated with me and hired people to brew low-alcohol wine."

Ying Zheng asked in confusion: "I was thinking just now, now that fairy wine has been sold for many years, what kind of wine should I brew? What kind of low-alcohol wine is this?"

Li Shui quickly stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, low-alcohol wine, as the name suggests, has a lower alcohol content."

"One glass of fairy wine can make you intoxicating, while low-alcohol wine can be intoxicated after several glasses depending on its alcohol content."

Ying Zheng wondered and said: "Isn't it similar to the corn wine in the past? Drinking a few more cups will make you drunk."

Li Shui said slowly: "Your Majesty is wise, that is exactly what you meant. However, the brewing process of low-alcohol wine is a continuation of fairy wine. The quality and taste of the wine will be much higher than that of corn wine."

"Even people who don't drink fairy wine often can't tell the difference between fairy wine and low-alcohol wine."

His Majesty nodded and said: "If this is the case, you can drink a few more glasses of low-alcohol wine to taste the aroma of the wine."

Li Shui said with a smile: "I have the same idea. I have been thinking that although the fairy wine is good, I will get drunk after just one cup. I often become confused before I can feel the aroma of the wine."
