Xianyang Palace.
Qilin Palace.
Qin Shi Huang sat on the main seat, his gaze complicated as he swept his gaze across the court officials.
All Ye Tian had done was to point out Ying Zheng's heart, and how could Ying Zheng not know that although the Imperial Court seemed peaceful, it was actually already in turmoil.
"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian and Young Master Fusu are currently resisting the Xiongnu. I beg for funds to strengthen the defense line and send another 100,000 soldiers from the court!”
Li Si stood up and bowed his head. He was dressed in his official robe as he spoke respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao stood up from the side." Your Majesty, I feel really bad that you're ill. I've found another expert to build a warship and send it overseas to look for the immortality medicine!”
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Mausoleum has reached a critical juncture, but we are lacking manpower and resources. We still need ten thousand taels of gold to complete the final process.”
Three voices sounded in a row, causing the quiet Qilin Palace to become even quieter.
The Qin Dynasty was not rich.
Xu Fu had gone out to sea twice, and the amount of resources he had consumed was astronomical. In addition to the construction of the Great Wall, the expenditure was even greater.
"Your Majesty, there is also the pacification of the remnants of the Six Nations.”
"And…"
Qin Shi Huang felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples, and his gaze gradually became colder.
These people wanted to empty the national treasury!
He had already seen through it, but there was no good way. After all, it was legitimate.
However, if they really opened the treasury, it was no exaggeration to say that the Qin Dynasty was not far from being destroyed!
Any dynasty relied on accumulation and stability. The Qin Dynasty had not been unified for long, so how much wealth could they have?
Remove firewood from under the cauldron!
As long as the national treasury was empty, it would definitely be chaotic.
This was forcing Qin Shihuang to his death!
Looking down, a total of 17 people stood up, which was quite shocking.
Some of them stood on their side, while others wanted to reap some benefits.
In addition, some people were neutral.
How terrifying!
"Haha, if you are right, the treasury will naturally be opened, but it will take two days.”
Qin Shi Huang's gaze turned cold. This was no longer a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy!
Suddenly, Meng Yi stood up with a solemn expression." Your Majesty, you can't. There are still 150,000 soldiers in the imperial court. If we send another 100,000 out, not to mention the astronomical consumption, the internal forces will be empty…"
"Humph! Senior Minister Meng Yi, I don't know what you mean by this. Do you think that we are traitors or do you think that His Majesty is not good at governing the country and that someone will rebel?”
Zhao Gao laughed coldly and interrupted Meng Yi.
"We wholeheartedly serve the country, while you are dragging us down here. You have ulterior motives. Could it be that you want to join forces with your brother to rebel?!”
"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. We are worried that there will be a coup.”
"All of you…"
Meng Yi was so angry that his face turned red. He was unable to answer the questions that everyone was saying.
He was Meng Tian's younger brother, and the two of them were the Xiao dogs and horses of the Qin country.
Three generations had served in the court, so how could they be traitors?
"Alright, let's call it a day for today's morning court session. I will announce it tomorrow.”
Qin Shihuang waved his hand to interrupt the dispute. He was too lazy to say anything and left the court helplessly.
……
Ye Tian naturally didn't know how worried Old Wang was, and he was carefully managing his own land.
Soon, it was noon. He was so tired that he was drenched in sweat. Just as he was about to rest, he heard footsteps coming from the door.
"Alright, I'll have to prepare another pair of chopsticks.”He rolled his eyes and turned around. As expected, Ying Zheng had come again." Old Wang, wait a moment. We've just finished our farm work. Wait for me to prepare another set of chopsticks."”
Qin Shi Huang revealed a worried expression and nodded. He sat on the stool, his pupils unfocused.
This kid was right. His days were not good at all.
Soon, Ye Tian served two hot dishes and a jar of wine, placing them on the table." What's wrong, Old Wang? What's the matter?"”
"Brother, even you know about this?”Qin Shihuang was stunned.
Ye Tian offered Qin Shi Huang a cup of wine." It's written all over your face. As long as you're not blind, you can see it."”
"Sigh, I have some connections in the court. I didn't expect that during the morning court session today, some ministers would stand up and request to open the national treasury.”
Qin Shihuang gulped down the wine in his cup and coughed. He then slowly recounted what had happened in the morning.
He didn't expect to find any good solutions, but only wanted to ease his mood.
After all, even he was in a mess and didn't know what to do.
"F * ck, Old Wang, I thought it was a big deal, but it's just such a small matter. Is it worth getting drunk here? The Emperor might have already thought of a way.”Ye Tian shot him a look of disdain.
This time, it was Qin Shihuang's turn to be stunned. Such a big matter, and you're telling me it's not a big deal?
"Brother Ye, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but if you really have a way, why don't you tell me?”
"Old Wang, I'm not boasting, but there really is a plan. It's just that once this plan is used, the entire city will be filled with bloodshed.”Ye Tian sneered.
