Qi Xiuyuan had made up his mind to let his brother continue arguing with the ministers. Although Rong Xuan also wanted to sit back and do nothing so that those people could learn a lesson, he was afraid that they would suffocate to death when he saw that a few of the ministers' faces were already purple and red.
After some thought, Rong Xuan could only take a step forward and interrupt the Minister of Revenue. "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Why don't we rest for a while and continue the discussion after everyone takes a lunch break?"
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him, displeased. Now that the situation was under Haoran's control, how could he give the officials an opportunity to discuss countermeasures in private after the court was dismissed?
Qi Xiuyuan did not understand what Rong Xuan meant. In his opinion, it was not a problem to go without one or two meals. After all, even the Emperor himself was holding back his hunger.
