If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 269: I'd rather give you two pieces of barbecued pork

Feng Shouxi immediately repeated what Shen Ziqing said to Prime Minister Leng Shanhe.

Leng Shanhe just shook his legs after hearing this and said calmly, "I knew from the beginning that Brother Li's goal was not as simple as making money from Dayu's project."

Leng Ningshuang, who was listening in, couldn't help but grumble, "Why do I feel like he doesn't think that much?"

"That means the heavens are on his side," Leng Shanhe rolled his eyes. "Which one do you like better? Also, be respectful to Brother Li. If his plan succeeds, his contribution to Dayu will even surpass that of most of the Yu emperors. I will call him uncle whenever I see him!"

Leng Ningshuang was stunned, pinching her chin and muttering, "Then if I marry Brother Li, do you have to call me Auntie?"

Leng Ningshuang thought Leng Shanhe would fly into a rage at such outrageous words, but she never expected Leng Shanhe to just look at her strangely. "My daughter, confidence is a good thing. Blind confidence will only make people think you're a fool. What gives you the right to do that? Do you think you're the only one with those two pieces of flesh on your body? You're talking about it as if they're something special."

Leng Ningshuang had only wanted to see Leng Shanhe's reaction, but she hadn't expected to be met with such vicious contempt from her own father. She immediately flew into a rage, "Either she's a tiger's daughter who can't marry a dog's son, or she's selling her daughter for fame! How come you've turned me into two pieces of meat? Am I your barbecued pork?"

"Brother Li is already considered a true dragon. It would be better to send you two pieces of barbecued pork," Leng Shanhe waved his hand with a look of disdain. "Besides, if you really want Rong, it's not your turn to marry him. Wouldn't it be faster and more effective if I shamelessly call him Big Brother?"

Leng Ningshuang was struck by lightning and was speechless.

"If you understand, pack up quickly and go to Qianzhou. While you haven't reached Nascent Soul yet, see if there's a chance to refine your Golden Elixir into a Supreme Golden Elixir. Don't show off your top-grade Golden Elixir all the time. That thing will become commonplace sooner or later," Leng Shanhe waved his hand.

Leng Ningshuang curled her lips, but didn't mention what happened before. "Dad, are you planning to report this to Emperor Yu?"

"Emperor Yu will always be Emperor Yu. Don't overstep your bounds."

Leng Shanhe said this lightly and then stood up and left. Many people had gathered in the court. All the people here were the core of Dayu, headed by the six ministers, and they were divided into two factions regarding the plan for Tianxu Tower.

Conservatives, and radicals.

The conservatives are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice.

The radicals are from the Ministry of Industry.

The Minister of Works, Lu Qianqiu, shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he was debating with a group of scholars.

He made this trip for only one purpose, which was to get the business order to build ancient heritage caves in all the small states.

“Apart from my Ministry of Industry, who else is responsible for this project?”

Conservatives believe in the ability of the Ministry of Industry, but they believe even more in its ability to revitalize things. If they transform together, they will probably redefine many ancient traditions.

"Lu Qianqiu, this matter concerns Dayu's eternal peace. We don't trust you," the Minister of Justice took out a file from his sleeve.

This is the work that the Ministry of Industry has done since it let itself go.

When the Minister of Justice came, he had a premonition that Lu Qianqiu would shamelessly ask for a business order, so he prepared it in advance.

"I can write a letter of guarantee."

"I've also brought your letter of guarantee."

Seeing the Minister of Justice being so aggressive, Lu Qianqiu also became angry, "You are all important figures, do you really want me to kneel down and beg you in public?"

"It's not like you haven't kneeled before."

Lu Qianqiu, who was about to kneel down, was suddenly speechless.

Leng Shanhe, who rushed over, held his forehead and sighed, glancing in the direction of the dragon throne.

The area was still shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern Emperor Yu's expression. "Everyone, this project spans the entire universe. Only the Equipment Refiners Association can proceed without arousing suspicion."

Seeing that the emperor was not taking charge of the situation, Prime Minister Leng Shanhe had no choice but to speak out to deal with this difficult situation.

Lu Qianqiu immediately pointed at the other minister with a sullen face and burst into laughter.

"But the Ministry of Works' credibility is too low. I would like to ask the ministers to send people to monitor the entire process. Mr. Minister of Revenue, please pay more attention to the matter of checking the Ministry of Works' account books."

The Minister of Revenue folded his arms across his chest and nodded.

Lu Qianqiu suddenly became paralyzed, but he did not protest anymore.

He is not really crazy, he really wants to do his job well this time.

"Then... there's the issue of Tianxu Tower's expenses," Leng Shanhe grinned. "Tianxu Tower still refuses to allow Dayu to fund its construction and insists on paying for it themselves. Your Excellency, the Minister of Revenue, please take a look..."

The Minister of Revenue's face changed, his lips turned pale, and he trembled constantly, as if he had fallen into some kind of madness. "I, I didn't take any kickbacks! I don't know why it changed so much in the end!"

Leng Shanhe always felt that it was a bit exaggerated that the Minister of Revenue was so mentally fragile at such an age, but when Leng Shanhe saw other ministers gathered together and deliberately pointing fingers at the Minister of Revenue, Leng Shanhe suddenly felt that the Minister of Revenue was actually strong enough.

"Sir, the Minister of Revenue! Building an ancient heritage cave dwelling does require so many spirit stones. It's a normal expense. And the other gentlemen, please stop pointing fingers. I don't want to see the five of you kneeling together at the door of the Ministry of Revenue when the funding is approved next year. It's so embarrassing!"

The five ministers' faces suddenly changed and they dispersed while whistling.

"Of course, in order to effectively promote the sect registration system, the Daoist sect must confirm that Tianxu Tower has the ability to intimidate the Dayu Daoist lineage. Emperor Ji Lie is a good example, but this alone is definitely not enough."

"But fortunately, in order to ensure the iron-blooded and ruthless nature of the Great Yu Dynasty's power, each successive Emperor Yu ascended the throne with a bloodbath. Many princes and princesses died tragically, and many killings remained unsolved. This is a perfect opportunity to polish it up and give the Taoist sects a reasonable explanation."

All the ministers nodded.

Each prince and princess prepared at least three aliases to identify this person. With a little effort, they could fabricate an ancient sect and use the temptation of becoming emperor to join forces with the prince and princess, but they would ultimately fail and be killed.

Leng Shanhe originally wanted to end it there, but suddenly he remembered the rumor that had been circulating some time ago that almost all contemporary princes and princesses were descendants of ancient sects, and a guess gradually emerged in his mind.

After a moment's thought, Leng Shanhe turned to look in the direction of Emperor Yu and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, in order to convince the millions of Taoist sects that Tianxu Tower's influence on Dayu has reached the point where you have no choice but to break the unspoken rules, take action against the super sects, and eliminate the hidden supporters of Tianxu Tower."

"Please allow the prince and princess to verify some of the rumors that they are descendants of an ancient sect."

The ministers present all held their breath.

The princes and princesses of the past are already [dead] in the social sense, so no matter how they mess around, they don’t have to worry about any impact on the current government.

But this generation of princes and princesses are still alive, and even the position of crown prince has not been decided yet.

The slightest carelessness could result in Emperor Yu having to sit on the dragon throne for a few more years.

Normally, Emperor Yu would never agree to this.

"allow."

"..."

The ministers were shocked.

Emperor Yu is different!!!
