Being suddenly interrupted, Tiedan was not angry and said with an elegant smile:
"Sir Cheng, having said that, in the past year, many places in Kaiyuan Mansion have shown signs of drought!"
"I have also learned about the places Mr. Li mentioned. They are located in remote places. Even if it rains every day, it may not be so good!"
Cheng Fu, the Minister of Rites, sneered and said respectfully to the Wei Emperor Cao Huaixin who was above the main hall:
"Your Majesty, I feel that what Li Shaoqing said about the drought is completely unfounded. We have a bumper harvest this year, so why are there any signs of drought?"
"I agree with Cheng Shangshu's words!"
For a time, many ministers in the court stood up to support Cheng Fu.
Tiedan sighed inwardly.
Now that he is no longer the fledgling farmer he was back then, he naturally knows that Cheng Fu is targeting him.
It's not because of any conflicts between them, but the so-called factional disputes.
He came from Bufan Academy, which is currently in the limelight, while Cheng Fu came from Ruhai Academy, one of the three major academies in the Wei Dynasty.
You must know that in the past, the situation in the court was that the disciples and disciples of the three major academies of the Wei Dynasty controlled all the affairs of the court.
And over the years, some of their disciples from the Extraordinary Academy have continuously entered the officialdom and become officials.
Plus.
Today, the Holy One has always supported their disciples from the Extraordinary Academy.
It can be said that it has blocked the limelight of the three major academies and made the disciples from their extraordinary academy the target of public criticism.
Although the official positions of the disciples from Bufan Academy are still not comparable to those of those from the three major academies of the Wei Dynasty.
But he unknowingly became the eyesore of the three major academies.
However, the people who support their extraordinary academies today are not without their thoughts of taking the opportunity to suppress the three major academies of the Wei Dynasty.
However, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages for their extraordinary academy.
Their extraordinary academy can quickly establish a foothold in the court.
At this moment, all the ministers who supported Cheng Fu were disciples and disciples of Ruhai Academy, and people from the other two major academies were watching the show.
But now there is more than just Tiedan in the court who is a disciple of the Extraordinary Academy.
There are also Ergou, Dazhu, Fugui and others.
Their rank is one level lower than Tie Dan, but they all stand up to support Tie Dan.
After all, they also received a letter from their husband not long ago.
Although they had some doubts that there would be a drought in two years, they still chose to believe Mr.
In their opinion, the gentle and friendly gentleman would not deceive them.
…
Look at the ministers who are arguing endlessly.
The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Huaixin, who was sitting in the main hall, had a somewhat unclear smile.
In recent years, he has appointed people from Feifan Academy, which has caused some crises for people in the three major academies.
Although the three major academies all know that the backer behind Bufan Academy is Wu Shengren.
But the three major academies have been able to stand in the Wei Dynasty for so many years because of some tricks. They will not openly provoke Bufan Academy, let alone Wu Shengren.
But they can actually make things difficult for the disciples of Bufan Academy.
However, let's not say that all the disciples from Bufan Academy are experts.
Those who were allowed to serve as officials in other places were allowed to govern the place in order.
Those who were officials in the court even helped him take care of a lot of things.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a disciple taught by Saint Wu.
"Then Master Cheng, do you dare to gamble with me?" Tiedan suddenly said loudly.
"What are you betting on?" Cheng Fu, the Minister of Rites, frowned.
"If there is no drought in Kaiyuan Mansion in two years, I am willing to resign. If so, all I need is an apology from Cheng Shangshu!!"
Tiedan's handsome face chuckled.
Although my husband has always taught them to be humble.
But there is a certain level of humility. Blind humility will only make people think you are easy to bully.
There was sudden silence in the main hall.
"It's ridiculous. How could I bet the wealth of the people of the world on this with you?" Cheng Fu, the Minister of Rites, shook his sleeves and said with an upright look.
Although betting sounds beneficial to him, once he loses, he will not only lose face, but he is not old enough to bet against others casually.
After all, things are unpredictable, and who knows what will happen in two years.
What's more, if you sit in his position, how can you make a bet with Tiedan based on your whim?
"Your Majesty, Li Shaoqing is betting against me on this matter. It shows that he has no heart for the court. I dare to ask the emperor to punish Li Shaoqing for his crimes!"
Cheng Fu, the Minister of Rites, kowtowed respectfully to Cao Huaixin who was standing in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was distracted because there was going to be a drought in my hometown, so I made a bet with Cheng Shangshu!!"
Tiedan calmly cupped his hands and said.
"Okay, okay, I can understand Li Aiqing's mood, so there is no need for Cheng Shangshu to delve deeper." Cao Huaixin waved his hand.
"Yes!" Cheng Shangshu lowered his head and whispered.
"It's just that Li Aiqing dares to use his official position to guarantee that there will be a drought in Kaiyuan Mansion in two years. What about you?" Cao Huaixin looked at the other courtiers and asked.
All the ministers immediately lowered their heads and remained silent.
They don't dare to use the black gauze hat on their heads to guarantee it like Tiedan, a stupid young man.
"Cheng Shangshu?" Cao Huaixin looked at Cheng Shangshu.
"I still think there will be no drought in Kaiyuan Mansion!" Cheng Shangshu said.
"In this case, you two bet, if there is no drought in two years, Li Aiqing will be fined for two years, but if there is a drought, how about Cheng Shangshu be fined for two years?"
"I have no objection!"
Tiedan and Cheng Shangshu didn't dare to say anything, so they responded.
"Then it's decided! Retreat from the imperial court!"
In fact, even if there was no bet mentioned by Tiedan, Cao Huaixin would not ignore whether there would be a drought in Kaiyuan Mansion.
The reason is simple, Bufan Academy is in that place.
…
"Tiedan, you are taking too many risks. How could you make that bet with Cheng Fu? Are you not afraid that there will be no disaster in two years?"
Ergou and others approached Tiedan.
In front of outsiders, they would naturally not call Tiedan by his nickname.
Usually only a few of their fellow villagers would call each other this way.
"Sir, you won't lie to us. Since he sent us a letter, it means there will definitely be a drought in two years!" Tiedan said firmly.
Ergou and others looked at each other.
They won't doubt anything about what Mr.
But they didn't agree with Tiedan's approach.
"You don't have to worry about me. If there is no drought in two years, I will fine you a maximum of two years' salary. But if there is a drought, I will become famous all over the world just like Cheng Fu!" Tiedan said with a smile.
Ergou and others looked at each other, shook their heads, and said with a wry smile: "Who doesn't know that your wife is very rich now. Even if you don't become an official, you won't starve to death!"
Tiedan married Xiaocao, who was also from Nomo Village, and is now the most famous shopkeeper of Cloth Shop in the capital.
"You are not bad either!" Tiedan said with a smile.
Ergou and others laughed in unison.
Because they also married the girl from the same village.
