Royal Palace.

Chaozheng Palace.

"Xuan, the cabinet is walking and Lin Feng enters the palace."

Lin Feng and Cheng Tianhu were standing under the high stone steps in front of the Chaozheng Palace and were talking when Sun He's voice suddenly came from the palace.

"Brother Cheng, I'll go in first."

Cheng Tianhu nodded, and Lin Feng turned around and walked quickly into the Chaozheng Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, all the civil and military officials looked at him. It was obvious that they already knew about the peat matter.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"Lin Aiqing is alive."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Lin Aiqing said that peat is non-toxic and can be used to make fires. Moreover, you can burn peat in front of all your loved ones. What do you think of this? Tell me!"

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng finished speaking, Xia Yuan, the official minister, immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, peat is poisonous and cannot be burned. This is a lesson learned by countless people in the past dynasties with their lives. Your Majesty, please take note."

"Your Majesty, what Xia Shangshu said is true. Peat mining must never be done." Zuo Qiu, the Minister of Rites, said.

"Your Majesty, our country is rich in natural resources and has inexhaustible supply of firewood and charcoal. There is no need to risk the use of peat," said Liu Qin, the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Your Majesty, since Lin Xingxing can prove that peat is non-toxic, why not let him give it a try. If it is true as he said, wouldn't Dayan have another cheap way to make fires and keep warm?" said Gu Zhang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

As soon as Gu Zhang said these words, Xia Yuan suddenly became anxious and immediately said: "Your Majesty, once the peat burns, it will definitely damage your Majesty's dragon body. For the stability of Dayan's country, burning peat is absolutely forbidden."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Lin Feng glanced over and saw that almost all of the ministers shouting for support were civil servants, while a group of generals stood aside to watch the excitement.

"Father, I feel that the peat matter is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and Lin Xingxing should be given a chance to prove it." King Rong, who was standing under the dragon chair, spoke.

"What King Rong said is true, and I agree with you."

King Xing, King Hong and King Fu all bowed and saluted.

Huangfu Gongcheng looked at his four princes in disbelief. The four people who had always had different opinions unexpectedly reached an agreement on the matter of peat for the first time.

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Okay! Since the four princes have agreed, I will give Lin Aiqing a chance."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan immediately knelt down in public in the court hall, "Your Majesty, peat must never be burned. I beg your Majesty to think twice and take back your order!"

"I beg your Majesty to think twice and take back your order!"

All the civil servants knelt down and worshiped.

In Dayan, all civil and military officials only had to bow their hands to the emperor when they came to the court. Ministers openly knelt down in the court hall, which showed that they had a very firm attitude on something, which meant that these civil servants were trying their best. Remonstrance!

Seeing the ministers kneeling on the ground, Huangfu Gongcheng hesitated. Although he also wanted to make a fortune from peat mining, he had to consider the opinions of the ministers.

Logically speaking, nearly [-]% of the ministers tried their best to advise Huangfu Gongcheng that he should not persist any longer, but he was still unwilling to give in. Lin Feng dared to take the risk to test it himself. The peat is likely to be as he said, as long as the windows are opened for ventilation when burning. It won't be poisonous.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Gongcheng looked at Lin Feng expectantly, hoping that he could find a way to convince the courtiers.

Faced with the obstruction of many ministers, Lin Feng actually had expected that the reason why these civil servants opposed Lin Feng's peat mining was because some of them were sincerely worried about His Majesty's health, and some just wanted to avenge Lin Feng's original humiliation of the couplet. More people It is for one's own benefit.

Among these ministers, some of them must be in the charcoal business. Once peat is mined in large quantities, their charcoal will definitely not be sold in the face of cheap peat.

In addition, the royal winery established by Lin Feng and Huangfu was about to be produced. Once Xianrenzui was launched in large quantities, those ministers whose families had wine-making businesses would naturally feel unhappy, and it was normal for them to stand up against Lin Feng.

Since Lin Feng had expected this, he naturally thought of a way to deal with it, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the officials are worried about your majesty's physical damage. I can completely understand. I can burn peat in a place far away from your majesty. Your majesty and Officials only need to watch from a hundred meters away."

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Lin Aiqing's method is very safe. What do you all think?"

"Your Majesty, once the peat is ignited, the poisonous gas will spread everywhere, and it will still harm your Majesty's dragon body no matter how far away it is. Please think twice," Xia Yuan said.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"This……"

Huangfu Gongcheng looked at Lin Feng again.

This old boy Xia Yuan is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me! Didn't I just break your son's hand without interrupting it? This old boy is definitely avenging his private revenge.

"Master Xia, I was right there when the peat was burning. Do you think I would make fun of my own life? To say the least, even if the peat is poisonous, I would die first."

"Hmph! How can your life be compared with His Majesty's dragon body?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xia is giving up eating because of choking, which is very detrimental to the country and the people!"

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Xia Aiqing, what Lin Aiqing said is reasonable. He is not afraid of being poisoned to death, so what should I be afraid of? As long as the people of Dayan can use cheap peat, it doesn't matter if I take some risks. ?”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Lin Feng said loudly.

"Your Majesty insists on burning peat. I have nothing to say, but I reserve my opinion."

"Master Xia, am I, Lin Feng, so unworthy of your trust?"

"Yes, I just don't believe you. Everyone knows that peat is poisonous and cannot be ignited. If you want me to believe you, it will snow in June and the river will flow backwards."

As soon as Xia Yuan said these words, Lin Feng immediately achieved what he wanted. What he was waiting for was Xia Yuan's words. In order to convince all the ministers, Lin Feng specially brought a bag of saltpeter when he came to court. He just hopes to convince the ministers by doing something like making ice in summer, which seems completely impossible to ordinary people. This is Lin Feng's last trump card.

"Master Xia, I can't do it with June Feixue, but I can do it with June Ice."

"Haha! Is it freezing in June? If Lin Xingxing has the ability to freeze water in this weather, then I believe that peat is non-toxic."

Lin Feng's face was filled with joy, and he looked at the civil servants who opposed him, "My lords, Lord Xia said that as long as I can make the water freeze, he will agree to burn peat. I wonder if your lords have any different opinions?"

"Lin Xingxing, we are the same as Mr. Xia. As long as you can make the water freeze in front of us, we will agree to you burning peat." Qin Shining, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said.

"Yes, we are advancing and retreating together with Mr. Xia."

All civil servants spoke out to express their attitudes.

"Okay, in that case, I will give you a long experience and let you witness with your own eyes how water turns into ice."

"Your Majesty, please order someone to bring a bowl of well water into the palace."

Making ice in summer? What does this kid want to do? I finally suppressed Xia Yuan's opinion. Can't you just burn your peat?

Huangfu Gongcheng really couldn't understand why Lin Feng did this. In his mind, making ice in summer was countless times more difficult than proving that peat was non-toxic.

"Sun Ban, go and get a bowl of well water for Lin Aiqing yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
