Chapter 296: The National Plan of Ginseng Cancellation
The Queen Mother was stunned.
Han Xuwei's smile also froze.
Lin Xiangru's expression became serious.
Hope began to appear in Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun's eyes.
Zhou Shaofen opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Lian Po looked calm, as if all these things had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Zhao Wang looked left and right curiously, and this matter had nothing to do with him in the true sense.
Zhao Kuo continued to speak: "The Queen Mother, my witness is waiting outside the palace city now. He also asked the Queen Mother to order him to enter the palace and confront the Grand Master in front of him."
Han Xuwei stared at Zhao Kuo without saying a word.
Zhao Kuo's expression was as calm as ever when he spoke, as if it was a vast ocean, and others could not see through what he was thinking in his heart.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, her eyes wandered on Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei for several rounds, and finally said, "Then call in."
A moment later, a man entered the hall under the guidance of the Zhao eunuch.
Everyone's eyes fell on the witness in an instant.
I saw this man wearing a stewardship dress and looking very capable.
When Han Xuwei saw this person, his face suddenly changed, as if someone suddenly hit him with a force, and his body began to tremble constantly.
The witness came forward and saluted respectfully: "Wang Chong has met the Queen Mother, the King, and the Lord."
The Empress Dowager looked at Wang Chong, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, saying, "Wang Chong, how do you testify?"
Wang Chong said respectfully: "Return to the Empress Dowager, I testified that the Grand Tutor Han Xuwei deliberately ordered someone to create a fake account book, just to make the sales from less than 50% to more than 50%!"
Wang Chong's words finally made Han Xuwei, who had been stagnant, scream: "No, I don't, you are talking nonsense!"
Zhao Kuo laughed: "Nonsense?
Wang Chong, come and take out your evidence!"
Wang Chong nodded, took out a few books from his sleeve, and presented them respectfully: "Please look at the Queen Mother, this is the original account book. What the Grand Master just took out was just a book book after fraud.
As long as anyone who knows the account books read these two books, they will be able to find out the tricks."
Han Xuwei stared at Wang Chong with an extremely ferocious expression, and he looked like he wanted to tear Wang Chong apart: "You, you are talking nonsense! You were simply bribed by Zhao Kuo, and you deliberately slander me here!"
Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Taoshi, it's time for you, are you still unwilling to repent?
The account book is originally here, and you have filled in the insufficient amount in the past two days to make a fraud, and you have secretly sold a large number of valuables in your home. There are so many evidences in your mansion who are still under house arrest. Do you still want to deny it?"
Every word Zhao Kuo said was as hard as a nail on Han Xuwei's heart, making his face pale until his face was gone: "Zhao Kuo, you..." Zhao Kuo said coldly: "Tai Shi, I will give you a word - If you want others to know, don't do it yourself! In order to increase the sales of ginseng, how many bad things have you done in the political arena of the Great Zhao during this period, how many officials' families have been destroyed, and how many merchants have lost money?
It's time to end, Grand Tutor!"
With a bang, Han Xuwei's legs became weak. He was so scared that he sat on the ground by Zhao Kuo's words that he couldn't get up for a long time.
Looking at Han Xuwei's performance, everyone in the hall was full of human intelligence, so how could he guess the problem?
Lin Xiangru's face changed again and again, and he sighed a long sigh.
The Empress Dowager's face gradually became extremely gloomy and she said coldly: "Taoshi, what's going on?"
The Queen Mother was really angry at this moment.
I originally thought this was an excellent opportunity to suppress Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo's previous performance was just a dying struggle.
As a result, the reversal of things was so sudden that the empress dowager suddenly realized that how could Han Xu, who was struggling to die?
Faced with Zhao Kuo's words and the frosty face of the empress dowager, Han Xuwei finally collapsed.
With a thud, Han Xuwei knelt directly on the ground: "The old minister is guilty, and the old minister accepts the punishment. It is because the old minister is obsessed with it for a moment. Please ask the Empress Dowager to punish him!"
A bang bang sounded, and Han Xu begged for mercy for kowtow.
The sound of kowtows seemed to hit the Empress Dowager's heart, making the Empress Dowager tremble all over her body.
What a waste! At this point, everything was gone.
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "Come here, take the Grand Master to the old woman and imprison him!"
Several guards of Zhao State, who were like wolves and tigers, rushed in and dragged Han Xuwei away, who was crying and begging for mercy.
Seeing Han Xuwei's back being dragged away disappearing from his sight, the other important officials of Zhao State looked extremely complicated.
I originally thought it was just the simplest commercial game, but I never expected that things would be so twists and turns, and the reversal was so sudden! The smile on Zhao Kuo's face was uncontrollable at this moment, and it bloomed bit by bit.
Han Xuwei, Han Xuwei, you want to plot against this marquis at all costs and let many Zhao officials and merchants destroy their families. Then don’t blame me for using the same method to counterattack you and let you suffer the pain of prison! This is the fairness that I marquis gave you! The empress dowager's chest fluctuated violently, looked at Pingyang Jun and said, "Pingyang Jun, you are the Great Zhao Siko. You have to investigate this fraud case carefully for the old woman. You must check it clearly and find out the truth!"
Pingyang Jun naturally responded directly.
After ordering Pingyang Jun, the Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo again and paused for a long time.
Finally, the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief and said in a tone with a little unwillingness: "From today on the start of the day, the state-owned plan of ginseng will be officially cancelled! Wu Xinjun, Pingyuanjun, you two are still in charge of ginseng, and all ginseng matters are the same as before!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, they won! The two of them stood up at the same time and saluted the Queen Mother: "I will obey the order!"
The Empress Dowager's mood was obviously bad at this moment. She did not continue to stay, but left directly.
In this political struggle, Han Xuwei was undoubtedly the biggest loser, but don’t forget that the Empress Dowager was Han Xuwei’s most favorable supporter.
Even though Han Xuwei had taken the blame, anyone with a discerning eye could still see that from this day on, the Empress Dowager's prestige in Zhao's political arena began to shake.
The ginseng dispute ended with Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun’s victory!
