How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to ask you gentlemen if there is anyone else who shares this opinion?" Jin Shuai asked with a smile.

At this moment, seven ministers stepped forward, six of whom wore red robes and one wore purple robes. Jin Shuai thought to himself, "They're from the same faction!"

"I'd like to ask you, who do you think you are? Why should I explain myself to you? Who do you think you are to deserve an explanation?" Jin Shuai said with a smile.

Jin Shuai's words were astonishing, and the hall erupted in chaos as everyone began to discuss them. At this moment, the red-robed minister who had spoken earlier said, "Viscount Jin Shuai, please watch your words. You are inciting the Emperor to engage in large-scale construction projects that will burden the people and waste resources. Your intentions are malicious."

Jin Shuai looked at him with disdain, muttering to himself, "These people really don't know what's good for them." He sneered, "Hmm, bewitching the Emperor? You mean the Emperor is stupid, that he can't distinguish right from wrong, that he's even less intelligent than a child like me? You're the only wise ones in the entire court. It's fine if you slander me, but you're implying slander against the Emperor. I think you have ulterior motives! Have you wasted all your time studying the classics?"

The minister in red was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the golden marshal and cursed, "You... how dare you be so rude! Do you know that we are all important officials of the court? How can we tolerate such humiliation from you?"

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense. Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

Jin Shuai retorted sarcastically, "I'm too lazy to humiliate you high-ranking officials! A bunch of petty people who only know how to talk big, why don't you impeach the Emperor? According to you, His Majesty was deceived by a mere child like me? You're implying that you're not up to any ulterior motives." A cold smile appeared on Jin Shuai's lips as he stared sharply at the minister in red.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of questioning Your Majesty. I urge you, Viscount, to be careful with your words and actions." The minister in red changed his expression, but still managed to answer calmly.

"Oh, so you don't dare to question the officials, so you only know how to bully me, the weakling!" A cold glint flashed in Jin Shuai's eyes as he retorted in an icy voice.

At this moment, the minister in purple spoke up: "Viscount Jin Shuai, please stop dwelling on this issue. We simply want to understand the true intention behind establishing the commercial and industrial zones, and we have no intention of questioning the Emperor. Moreover, it is quite unusual that such a significant decision was made without consultation with the central government and the court. Therefore, we have specially invited you to explain this to the ministers so that we can make the right decision."

Jin Shuai thought to himself, "These old foxes are incredibly cunning and leave no room for error! They're trying to turn private matters into public ones—they're just daydreaming!"

"I am young, and before I explain, I have a question for you gentlemen in the hall to answer for me: In the Song Dynasty, is the emperor more powerful, is the law more powerful, or is your central government more powerful?" Jin Shuai asked slyly, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

This is no simple matter. The minister in purple robes frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Naturally, the Emperor is the highest authority, followed by the law, while the central government only has the responsibility to make suggestions."

Jin Shuai's lips curled slightly upward, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes. He continued, "Since that's the case, why should I explain to you why I signed a contract with the Emperor? Oh, so you wanted to use the pretext of wasting manpower and resources to make the Emperor appear as a treacherous person! Alas! You seven clearly wanted to know, so why bring everyone in the palace? This is a bit like using the Emperor to command the princes. How sinister your intentions are! You still say you don't have ulterior motives!" As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, as if he was very disappointed with the actions of the Central Secretariat.

“Viscount Jin, Lord Han did not mean that. He simply wanted to know the purpose of the commercial street and the workshop area for the country and its people. Please do not make unfounded accusations, Your Excellency,” a minister in purple robes stepped forward and said.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile: "Hmm, you didn't step forward, so you must know the intention, right? You're all officials in the same court, why don't you explain it to this official? Oh, do you want to see him make a fool of himself!"
