Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 88

"Haha! Prime Minister, what I'm saying is that this prince is deliberately making things difficult for the Zhao family's head, and is using my status to put the Zhao family to death?"

Qin Yu asked Shangguan Xiong with a sneer.

Ah!

Shangguan Xiong looked at Qin Yu with shock and anger on his face!

I have done so much for him, and I persuade my daughter to forgive him!

Now, it’s just a matter of saying a few words for the head of the Zhao family in the court. As long as he keeps silent and at most admits his mistake, the matter will be over!

However, Qin Yu, this ungrateful man, not only refuted him in public, but also put such a big accusation on him!

"Haha! Your Highness, you must be joking. I absolutely did not mean that. I was just stating some facts!"

Shangguan Xiong said with a sneer, looking at Qin Yu with eyes full of resentment.

Qin Mang also said coldly, "Sixth brother! You have really become more and more arrogant recently. Beating the Zhao family head and publicly humiliating me is not enough, but in this court, you put such a heavy accusation on all the civil and military officials. Do you still respect the court laws and our father?"

"Second brother! I, the Crown Prince, have barely uttered a single word while standing before the court, yet how could you accuse me of such treason?"

"Which of us is disregarding the laws of the court, and who has no regard for our father?"

Qin Yu said coldly.

Afterwards, Qin Yu looked at Emperor Liang and said, "Father! Even if I was just talking nonsense, it's true that replacing the equipment of 5,000 Red Flame Iron Cavalry soldiers would cost 100,000 taels of silver!"

"The Minister of War is here today. I would like to ask him how much iron ore the Ministry of War will sell for to build weapons and equipment for 5,000 men."

Ah!

As soon as Qin Yu asked this question, Minister of War Duan Meng's body suddenly tensed up and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qin Yu beat Zhao Feikun. The ones who caused trouble for Qin Yu in the court were Qin Mang, Shangguan Xiong and a group of civil servants. It had nothing to do with him, the Minister of War. How come this happened to him?

Seeing Duan Meng remained silent, Emperor Liang said coldly, "Minister Duan, the Crown Prince is asking you a question. Are you speechless?"

"this......"

Duan Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! The price will vary depending on the quality of the iron ore. However, even with the best quality iron ore, the price will not exceed five thousand taels of silver!"

"What! It won't be more than five thousand taels of silver!"

"In other words, if the Zhao family sold 5,000 taels of silver worth of iron ore to the imperial court, they would earn 100,000 taels of silver! Humph! No wonder the Zhao family was able to amass such a large fortune in such a short period of time simply by doing business with the imperial court!"

"He deserves to be killed! He absolutely deserves to be killed! Not only did he cheat the Crown Prince, he also cheated the court of its money!"

"That's a twenty-fold profit! Over the years, the imperial court has been drained of countless lives by the Zhao family. Your Majesty, the entire Zhao family must be executed!"

Duan Meng's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the military officers. They looked at Zhao Feikun with gritted teeth and asked Emperor Liang to execute the entire Zhao family!

Emperor Liang's face was as gloomy as water. He knew that the Zhao family made huge profits from doing business for the imperial court, but he didn't expect the profits to be this huge!

"Your Majesty! This... please let me explain. This iron ore needs to be refined into iron, and then it needs to be crafted into weapons, among other things. So the cost is definitely not five thousand taels of silver!"

Zhao Feikun's face turned pale, and he kept kowtowing and begging for an explanation!

Qin Yu sneered at Zhao Feikun and said, "In Kyoto, a blacksmith's wages are only a few dozen coins a day. Even if you find five thousand blacksmiths and spend ten days to forge weapons for five thousand men, how much money will that be?"

"In other words, the equipment for these 5,000 men, at most, would cost no more than 10,000 taels of silver. You sold it to the court for 100,000 taels of silver. Isn't this just cheating the court and sucking its blood?"

This!
