Chapter 658: You will do this big thing

Li Zhi was also very nervous when he said this. This was his first time dealing with a political enemy. He used to make small fuss, but this time he was going to see the truth. Moreover, Wang Ping'an was not by his side, and Changsun Wuji didn't understand the truth. Everything depends on himself. With his personality, how can he not be nervous?

Li Zhi paused for a moment and looked at his father. Seeing that his father was also looking at him. His face was a little tight and unnatural, but he saw his father lifting his chin slightly at him and signaling him to continue talking.

At this moment, just a few breaths, Li Ke also looked at others, but he did not look at his father. It was useless to ask his father directly, and someone had to plead for him.

Turning around, Li Ke's eyes turned to anyone's face and would turn his head away. Some ministers simply didn't look at him. The only person who could look directly at him was Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji's eyes were full of ridicule. It would be fine if he didn't look at him, but he was even more scared when he saw it!

The ministers felt pity. The King of Wu was still too young and had been too smooth for the rest of his life. Although the prince was even more smooth than him, he was too *** with the emperor in the court, Changsun Wuji was backing, and Wang Ping'an outside the capital was working for him. In comparison, the King of Wu was too weak and was no match for the prince at all.

Li Zhi continued to say the words, and he said, "If you want to say the person who understands the principles of using water wheels, of course, is it the person who invented this kind of water wheel. Since this kind of water wheel was invented by the third brother, wouldn't it be best for him to preside over the popularization of water wheels? In the words of the doctor, this is called prescription of the right medicine. No matter who it is, it is not the most suitable for him!"

The words were very short, only a few sentences before and after, and they were finished in a blink of an eye, but the meaning expressed in the words was too many!

Li Zhi's voice fell, and for a long time, all the ministers lowered their heads, except Changsun Wuji, while Li Shimin closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. The eunuchs and palace maids standing in the palace did not even dare to say anything, for fear that something would happen at this time and that they would be vented on their heads. No matter who wanted to vent their anger, they would be dead!

The knife was unsheathed, and the cold light was everywhere. The move was extremely fierce, and the winner was right in front of you!

Now, it’s time to take the team!

After a while, Changsun Wuji coughed gently and said, "King of Wu, what the prince said is very reasonable. Since you invented this kind of water wheel, and others can't explain it clearly, like that rice... or whatever seedlings, they didn't explain it clearly. From this we infer that others will do the same. Therefore, this kind of water wheel is best, and it can only be popularized and promoted to benefit the people of the world. What do you think? Are you willing to serve the emperor, the court, and the people?"

The big hat was directly deducted, with a very heavy weight, as heavy as an iron pot. The emperor, court, and people were all heavily deducted on Li Ke's head. As long as Li Ke said the word "no", he would fall directly into the abyss and never crawl out in his life!

Li Shimin opened his eyes and looked at Li Ke. Seeing that his son was sweating profusely, his expression was panicked, and he looked like the sky was falling. He felt a little disappointed. This child usually looked good, but when he was attacked, he didn't even want to ask for help. Could it be that he was frightened?

He looked at Li Zhi again, and saw that sweat was also appearing on Li Zhi's forehead. His hands were huddled in his sleeves, and his wide sleeves were trembling slightly, and he was looking at Changsun Wuji with a nervous expression.

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, Zhi'er was not very good, he had no calm and generous momentum. Even if he couldn't do it as stable as a rock, he could be aggressive at least, and he couldn't even do this. Both sons disappointed him. He closed his eyes again, and waited for the ministers to make trouble first, and then he would see how to deal with this matter!

Li Ke's sweat slipped down, and he looked at the ministers again, but there was no one who spoke for him. He knew in his heart that the ministers did not dare to offend Changsun Wuji. At this time, anyone who said even a good thing for him would bear the anger that came with Changsun Wuji. No one would be so stupid, so if he wanted to save himself, he could only rely on himself!

Li Ke said in a trembling voice: "Even if I want to guide the popularization of water trucks, I may not have to go there in person. Maybe... Wang Ping'an can do it. Isn't he the one who is in charge of this matter now?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Wang Ping'an can't explain the matter clearly, and it is even more difficult to do such an important thing. Isn't he with that mi... what's wrong with mi?"

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Mi Xiaomiao, he is a deacon in the East Palace and has always been agile, so he was sent by his father to Qingzhou to announce the imperial edict a few days ago."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, that Mi Xiaomiao is smart enough, otherwise the emperor would not have sent him to Qingzhou as an imperial envoy. But even such a clever person, Wang Ping'an explained the beauty of the water wheel to him, but he couldn't understand it. After he came back, he couldn't explain it clearly, and he probably couldn't describe it. So if someone else did, how could he understand the beauty of the water wheel? If it was executed, Wang Ping'an was in a confused manner and local officials were in a confused manner, wouldn't he do a good job badly? Dear sirs, do you think this is the reason?"

This is forcing the ministers to line up. Most of the important officials in the palace have a good relationship with him. Even if the relationship is average, they cannot refute him. Mi Xiaomiao must be a clever person because the emperor sent him to announce the imperial edict. If he is not clever, wouldn’t it prove that the emperor was distracted and chose a fool?

When Wang Ping'an showed Mi Xiaomiao the drawings, Mi Xiaomiao didn't see anything. He just changed the name Ping'an Water Truck to Ping'an Water Truck, adding the word "big". He was only interested in accepting bribes, but he was not interested in the water truck or the buffalo. He asked him to explain that even if it wasn't for the cow to play the piano, sheep would play the piano!

But after Mi Xiaomiao returned to Beijing, he advertised Wang Ping'an everywhere, and it made a lot of noise. Not only did many people in the palace know about it, but even the ministers in the court heard it a little. It was just because Mi Xiaomiao was a eunuch, and in the eyes of the important officials, he was not worth more than a few big sons, so no one took it seriously!

But then again, Mi Xiaomiao couldn't explain the matter of clear water wheel, which is a fact. This fact is usually worthless, but at this moment, it is very valuable, enough to smash a prince!

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the ministers nodded slowly. Yes, the dead eunuch Mi Xiaomiao did nothing and didn't eat anything left. If he was asked to be a local official and carry out popularization of water trucks, it would be a bad thing, but other local officials... Forget it, don't mention others at this time, as it would be useless to mention it!

A drop of sweat flowed into Li Ke's eyes. Li Ke wiped his eyes and kept thinking in his heart: "What should I do, what should I do, how should I resolve this crisis? I can't leave Chang'an. It's easy to leave the center, but it will be difficult to come back!"

At this time, Li Shimin closed his eyes and did not see Li Ke wiping his eyes. Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi saw it but didn't say anything. When other ministers saw it, they couldn't bear it. They thought that Li Ke was forced to cry and was wiping his eyes, but... they couldn't bear it and stood up for him, so they had to rely on their conscience!

Other ministers were still struggling with the issue of conscience, but Ma Zhou spoke. His conscience was relatively more among the ministers, and he was of the same position as Changsun Wuji and could compete with each other. Others dared not say it, but he dared to say it.

Ma Zhou nodded, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Changsun's words are reasonable, and this matter can only be done by the King of Wu..."

The ministers looked at him together and thought to themselves: "You are going to sing against Changsun Wuji!"

Changsun Wuji was furious. It seemed that the Secretariat needed to change the prime minister. Ma Zhou actually dragged me down at such a time. It was really hateful!

His relationship with Ma Zhou is pretty good, but facing such a major issue, it has already involved the dispute between the prince and the King of Wu. No matter how good the relationship is, I can't take care of it at this time!

The beginning is positive, often means the subsequent negative!

Ma Zhou continued: "But if the King of Wu was the only one who presided over the popularization of water wheels, he would be unable to support it. As the old minister said, it would be better to ask the Ministry of Personnel to draw up a list, select some young officials, and go to Qingzhou with the King of Wu to learn experience when popularizing water wheels in Qingzhou. This can be presided over by the King of Wu. After the Qingzhou matter is settled, the officials will be sent to all parts of the country. Everyone has high firewood, which is faster and easier to see results than the King of Wu alone!

This is the old and successful decision to plan the country. If the struggle between Li Zhi and Li Ke is taken out, it is a good proposal. It is upright and peaceful, and is impartial. It is based on the perspective of national interests. As the Minister of the Secretariat and the prime minister who specializes in planning, he has fulfilled his duties and is understandable!

However, his proposal undoubtedly saved Li Ke's life, and limited the time and scope. As long as Qingzhou is done as a water truck, Li Ke's task can be completed and can return to Beijing. Moreover, the matter in Qingzhou can definitely be done, because Wang Ping'an is there. If it cannot be done, Wang Ping'an will have to be lost, and by the way, it will implicate Li Zhi. The complex relationship makes no one dare to touch each other, and can only do the work to the death!

Li Ke looked at Ma Zhou with gratitude. There were only one person who dared to speak up for his righteousness, and this person was Wang Ping'an's nominal mentor. It was really unexpected that he was the one who helped him at all times!

Changsun Wuji had a heavy breath but could not refute it. Of course, he could hear Ma Zhou’s suggestions very well. If he objected again, he would ignore the country!

Li Shimin finally opened his eyes. He didn't ask what other ministers meant. He waved his hand gently and said, "Just follow what Ma Aiqing said. Loyal ministers, draw an order!"
