Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Facing Li Shanchang's questioning, Ouyang Lun just smiled faintly.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Li. No matter whether I can come up with a solution or not, it is better than Lord Li just shutting up!"

"Lord Li is not good enough himself, but he is very good at doubting other people's abilities!"

After that, Ouyang Lun no longer paid attention to Li Shanchang, but said to Zhu Biao: "Your Majesty, I will give you the method later. If other adults want to come and audit the class, I welcome them too!"

Ouyang Lun paused, looked at Li Shanchang, and then continued: "But Lord Li Shanchang seems to know everything, so I guess it's not necessary!"

"So, when we get to the Ministry of Revenue later, I've prepared grilled fish and meat, and we can eat and chat at the same time!"

Ouyang Lun is not in a hurry at all now.

He also understood the problems that Zhu Biao was worried about, and even had a solution.

But this time, he planned to try a different approach.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao thought for a moment and nodded, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, what you said makes sense. Matters concerning money are naturally inseparable from the Ministry of Revenue. Then we will discuss it at the Ministry of Revenue when the time comes!"

Li Shanchang looked depressed and said sourly: "In the past, Prince Consort Ouyang would directly say whatever he wanted, but today he has to wait for a while and go to the Ministry of Revenue. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. But if you want to deceive His Majesty, I will be the first to disagree!"

"I don't care whether you agree or not. Anyway, His Majesty has agreed. Some people please don't come. I haven't prepared any bowls and chopsticks for you. It will be embarrassing if you drool at that time!" Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"Uh..." Li Shanchang's face turned pale and blue.

On the contrary, Song Lian, Lu Chang and other cabinet officials' eyes lit up when they heard that they were going to the Ministry of Revenue and there would be delicious food.

"Prince Consort Ouyang, do you have your Maotai wine? I drank it once before, and I can never forget the taste. All other wines in the world are simply unpalatable!"

"Prince Consort Ouyang, compared to Maotai wine, I prefer your happy water. After drinking it, I feel relaxed and refreshed!"

"I heard that people usually have to wash and massage their feet after dinner? I wonder if this service is still available this time?!"

"By the way, I heard there is also a shadow play. I wonder if I can watch it this time!"

Facing the questions from other cabinet members, Ouyang Lun nodded, "Don't worry, we have everything. We will also provide essential oil back massage after dinner! We guarantee that everyone will leave the Ministry of Revenue comfortably!"

Essential oil back massage!!

Although they don't understand what this is, hearing these four words can make them excited.

"Ahem, Brother-in-law Ouyang, we go to the Ministry of Revenue to do business, not for pleasure!"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. We have all worked so hard, we should relax when it is time. Besides, we will not delay our work, right, my Lords?"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

The cabinet ministers, who had been somewhat restrained, immediately began to agree when they heard Ouyang Lun say this.

·
"Your Majesty, this time I support Prince Consort Ouyang!"

"Prince Consort Ouyang is right! We are old now, we should be able to relax, eat some good food, and do better for the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty!"

"Prince Consort Ouyang made a very reasonable arrangement!"

"Okay!" Seeing that all the cabinet ministers had the same attitude, Zhu Biao couldn't refute, "If that's the case, then you must not tell my father!!"

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, everyone at the scene immediately understood, smiled knowingly, and expressed their opinions.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we are definitely not informers!"

"It is an honor for us to wash and massage your feet with your majesty!"

"Organized by Prince Consort Ouyang, and held in the Ministry of Revenue, this matter must be very confidential and will not be known to outsiders!"

"If you don't go, Mr. Han, you can't tell on me!"

Forehead.
Li Shanchang's face fell and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Am I being excluded?
When this thought flashed through his mind, Li Shanchang couldn't help but feel a little sad. He had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for decades, and had been standing firm in the Ming Dynasty court for more than 20 years. He had always been the one who took the lead in isolating and ostracizing others, but now he was being isolated and ostracized by others.
"In that case, let's settle this!" Zhu Biao no longer hesitated. They had dinner together, washed feet and had a massage. While solving the problem, he could also bring Zhu Biao and the cabinet ministers closer together and create a good court atmosphere. This was also very good. Of course, this was not the first time that Zhu Biao had washed feet and had a massage with his ministers.

I've been very tired from handling government affairs recently. There's nothing wrong with a massage and foot wash. Can't the emperor enjoy it?!
"Your Majesty, I will go down and prepare."

After Ouyang Lun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Watching Ouyang Lun's leaving back, Li Shanchang's eyes were gloomy. Although he was angry, he also wanted to know what method Ouyang Lun would use to solve the currency problem, so he had to go to the Ministry of Revenue later. He definitely didn't go for the delicious food and wine, nor for the essential oil back massage!

"My dear ministers, please go down and prepare."

"It's your Majesty!"

Not long after Ouyang Lun left, Zhu Biao also ended the imperial meeting.

Li Shanchang, Song Lian, Lu Chang and other cabinet officials walked out of the Fengtian Hall together.

"Sir Song, I will go to the Ministry of Revenue with you later, okay?"

Li Shanchang came up to Song Lian and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Song Lian quickly moved away and said reluctantly, "Old Prime Minister Li, just now in the Fengtian Palace, Prince Consort Ouyang made it very clear. If I take you with me, Prince Consort Ouyang will kick me out too? What should I do?"

Li Shanchang: (Speechless).

Then he looked at Lu Chang again.

"Old Prime Minister Li, if you ask me, you should not go to the Ministry of Revenue later. Don't forget that when you took over the Ministry of Revenue from Prince Consort Ouyang, you almost ruined it and tortured the officials there. The Ministry of Revenue doesn't like you now. Moreover, you and Prince Consort Ouyang always quarreled as soon as you met. You have ruined the originally harmonious atmosphere. If the matter is not resolved, it will not be fun to wash your feet and give you a massage!"

Lu Chang also persuaded.

Not only Song Lian and Lu Chang, but other cabinet ministers also spoke up.

"Old Prime Minister, you don't have to go. When we come back from the Ministry of Revenue, we will share the news with you!" "Yes, if you want to wash your feet, then you can go to Tianshang Renjian now. All your expenses today will be charged to my account. How about I treat you?"

"If it's just the few of us, it's actually fine. The key is that His Majesty will be there later. If you, Old Prime Minister Li, and Prince Consort Ouyang start arguing again and ruin His Majesty's mood, who among us can take responsibility for this?"

Except for a few cabinet ministers who did not speak, the vast majority of cabinet ministers were unwilling to bring Li Shanchang along.

After hearing these words, Li Shanchang could no longer hold back, "Humph, what are you thinking? I want to go to the Ministry of Revenue, is that for the enjoyment of foot washing and massage? I am worried that Ouyang Lun will take the opportunity to deceive Your Majesty and ruin our Ming Dynasty!"

"Ouyang Lun didn't let me go, he must have something to hide, I have to go this time!"

"You are cabinet ministers after all, so be extremely vigilant and don't be deceived by Ouyang Lun, or you will regret it in the future!"

After saying this, Li Shanchang left angrily.

Cabinet ministers including Song Lian and Lu Chang looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What happened to Prime Minister Li? Why are you so angry?"

"What else can I do? He must be jealous. We can all go, but he can't. He must be feeling very upset!"

"That's just a typical case of sour grapes!"

"But what Prime Minister Li said is not without reason. We must be vigilant when we go to the Ministry of Revenue today. We can't let Ouyang Lun lead us by the nose in everything."

"That's natural."

Several cabinet ministers discussed for a long time and then returned to their homes to make preparations.

Li Shanchang sat in the sedan chair and went to his residence in a depressed mood.

"This Ouyang Lun is really a piece of shit. I am a court elder after all, and even a former prime minister. No one among the civil servants has a higher seniority than me. Yet he is so disrespectful to me in the Fengtian Palace. What does it matter if you, Ouyang Lun, are capable? The affairs of the court are not just about ability!"

"Your Majesty, you blindly trust Ouyang Lun. You are simply biased!"

"There are also Lu Chang, Song Lian and the others. They are also old ministers, but they keep showing goodwill to Ouyang Lun. They have no shame at all!"

Li Shanchang became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He originally wanted to open the sedan chair to take a breath, but as soon as he opened it, a shadow passed through his sedan chair, and the wind it brought almost overturned his sedan chair. The sedan bearers were also affected and fell to the side repeatedly. Li Shanchang was also shaken dizzy in the sedan chair!
Fortunately, the sedan chair finally leaned against the wall and finally stabilized. If it had really fallen sideways, Li Shanchang would probably have to lie in bed for several days.

"what happened?!"

Li Shanchang was already in a bad mood, and this made him even angrier.

"My lord, a carriage just passed by," the servant replied hastily.

"Carriage? How can there be such a fast carriage?!" Li Shanchang said angrily, "And do you think I am blind? There was no horse in that thing just now! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said quickly: "Master, I am not lying! This is the latest carriage produced by the Red Flag Car Factory. It is said that it can run without horses and is incredibly fast!"

"Now many rich kids in Beijing have bought this kind of car, and you can often see people racing on the streets!"

A carriage that can run without horses! ?

Li Shanchang's face suddenly turned gloomy, because this matter reminded him of what Feng Sheng said when he returned to the court to report on his work after quelling the Yunnan rebellion. Didn't the three-wheeled motorcycles and two-wheeled vehicles that made great contributions to the transportation of supplies that time also not need to be pulled by oxen and horses?
It's got four wheels this time?!
Thinking of this, Li Shanchang immediately understood that all this was related to Ouyang Lun. You must know that although the Hongqi Automobile Factory is now a state-owned enterprise under the Northern Zhili Province, Ouyang Lun is the founder and largest boss of this automobile factory. Only Ouyang Lun has the means and ability to produce these things.

"Ouyang Lun is trying to harm me!!"

Li Shanchang's face became more gloomy, but his mind started to work, as if he had thought of something, and asked quickly: "Are these new cars always running wild on the streets like this?!"

"Yes! Ever since these cars came out, they have been driving faster and faster. Some people even race them in the middle of the night, injuring many people. People have many complaints about these cars!" said the subordinate truthfully.

"very good!"

Li Shanchang smiled and said.

"What's good about this, sir?" the servant asked in confusion.

"What I say must have my reasons. Go and call the people from the Dali Temple for me. I am going to clean up the mess today!" Li Shanchang said.

"Yes, sir." Although the servant was not clear about what Li Shanchang was going to do, he was very clear that the Dali Temple Chief was an official of the Huaixi Party and a close subordinate of Li Shanchang. It was because of Li Shanchang's promotion that he was able to hold the position of Dali Temple Chief. As long as it was Li Shanchang's order, the Dali Temple Chief would definitely do it. He was just going to pass on a message, which was not a difficult task.

After the servant agreed, Li Shanchang said to the others, "Catch up with them. I will catch these lawless guys!"

"Yes, sir!"

They were not able to keep steady just now and frightened Li Shanchang. The servants and sedan bearers were worried about being punished by Li Shanchang. Now Li Shanchang asked them to chase the car that just passed by. This was a chance for them to redeem themselves, so they must seize it.

"Master, please sit down!"

Several sedan bearers immediately exerted all their strength and speed, carrying the sedan and chasing after it.

After chasing for a long time, they finally caught up with the previous car when they were almost exhausted. However, that car had stopped, as if it had been stopped. A man riding a two-wheeled vehicle, wearing a yamen runner's uniform with two big words "Traffic Police" on his chest and back, handed a note to the car in front, then rode his two-wheeled vehicle to the sedan chair.

"Hello! Please put down the sedan chair, the bearer stands aside, and the people inside get out!"

The bailiff said with a serious face.

"You are blind, do you know who is sitting in this sedan chair?"

"My master was the former prime minister, and now he is a cabinet minister and the leader of the Huaixi Party! How dare you, a mere yamen runner, block my master's sedan chair? Are you trying to save your life?!"

"Get out of the way!"

The servant spoke with a look of disdain.

"I don't care who your master is. According to the latest road safety regulations issued by the capital, no matter whether it is a car, a carriage or a sedan chair, you are not allowed to drive too fast on the streets of the capital. You just exceeded the speed limit. According to the regulations, I will deduct points and fine you. Take out your license plate, driver's license and vehicle registration!"

The bailiff said sternly.

"What the hell? What's a license plate? What's a driver's license or a vehicle registration? We don't have any!" The servant shook his head in confusion.

"You don't have any of these! Then you are driving without a license and driving without a license." (End of this chapter)
