Chapter 125: Let's give the court a little shock first
We have always had a habit.

Big meetings talk about small things, small meetings talk about big things.

This actually shows that there are only a few people who can really make decisions.

Never mind the nonsense about whether it's scientific or not, the reality is that once these people make a decision, it's basically decided.

The next day, before the court meeting began, officials from all walks of life gathered in groups of three or five and chatted in low voices.

Right Prime Minister Li Si, who was usually surrounded by several officials to join in the fun and flatter him, was standing there alone today.

It’s not that no one wants to suck up to someone.

But at this moment Li Si was obviously frowning and thinking about something.

If we go up and disturb them, it would be like flattering the horse on the lap.

However, many people were also wondering, could it be that Prime Minister Li was worried about some national affairs?
Has anything big happened recently?

In fact, they guessed it right.

However, it was not a "family or national affair", but a big event at home.

His only son, Li You, was called over by Gongzi Yuan yesterday to chat for most of the day. He came back excitedly with his luggage.

The key point is that before leaving, the boy said excitedly that in the future he would make Li Si proud of being "Li You's father".

Li Si, who saw his son's ambition, did not ask what Li You wanted to do specifically.

After all, there is still some tacit understanding between father and son.

Whatever Li You could say, he would be told immediately.

The reason why he didn't say it was because it was not convenient for him, the right prime minister of the empire, to know about this matter.

Then there was no need for him to make things difficult for his son.

As for whether he had surrendered to Ying Yuan, would it give people the illusion that Li Si had surrendered to Ying Yuan?

Haha, he doesn’t care!
That's right!

At this point, he no longer cares.

In fact, he was also anxious when he learned yesterday that his rebellious son was crying and wanted to seek refuge as if he was hypnotized.

Think again and again.

its not right!
This is my son who has taken refuge with your Majesty’s son.

He is my only son, and he has taken refuge with the son whom Your Majesty has chosen to be the regent.

What's wrong with this?
Shouldn't it be that my son is capable and your Majesty's son has good vision?

What's more, Li Si gradually came to understand Ying Yuan, the prince who served as regent.

This is really not an easy task.

It seems to be a haphazard process, with no clear plan.

But if you think carefully about what he has done before, you will find that everything has been secretly priced.

Those who think they have a good plan will probably pay it back a thousand times over.

Thinking of this, Li Si glanced at Feng Jie who was proudly talking excitedly to officials from various factions in the distance.

This silly boy is probably the one who suffered the most.

However, Li Si didn't have time to think about it before the time for the court meeting arrived.

Then, right after the court meeting started, before anyone else could report anything, Ying Yuan spoke first.

Moreover, start with a big move!
"Yesterday, my father sent someone to tell me that the Xiongnu had repeatedly harassed the northern part of our Great Qin, causing the people to be displaced."

"Therefore, we need to allocate money and food for disaster relief as soon as possible, and send troops to protect the safety of our Great Qin border."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the court officials were completely furious.

"Sir, since the Xiongnu are not caring about their own lives and attacking our Great Qin, how can we just sit there and watch? I am willing to fight!"

"May I ask, sir, the cost of disaster relief money and food is quite high, does Your Majesty have any instructions?"

"Sending troops to fight is either the Meng family's or the Wang family's job!"

For court officials, war was not a rare thing.

For the military generals, it means they are here to deliver merits!

The founding of the Qin Empire was based on its abundant martial virtues!

Even civil officials are used to seeing life and death and major battles!
Weren't the six surrounding kingdoms also trampled under the feet of the Qin cavalry?
Now they are just the Huns, what are you afraid of?
Wang Jian, who always pretended to be sleepy and confused in the past, finally stopped being sleepy at this moment.

He half-opened his eyes and began to look around.

However, there is a big problem before that.

"Sir, I don't know how to deal with the money and grain issue?"

The person who asked the question was the Minister of Agriculture Zhangye.

This question was asked with such confidence.

There’s no way, Daqin is so poor!
The newly unified Qin Dynasty was faced with a situation where everything needed to be rebuilt and all industries were in decline.

How can the people even pay taxes when they don’t have enough food to survive the night?
What's more, there are too many places that Daqin needs to build.

Therefore, the national treasury was always in a state of rapid inflow and outflow, and the Minister of Agriculture was busy counting money every day.

Ying Yuan didn't say much about this question, he simply shook his head.

"Regarding the issue of money and grain, according to my father's original idea, the payment to the Afang Palace should be stopped first."

"But in my opinion, if such a large project is stopped, it will incur a huge amount of expenses when it is restarted."

"It's a loss everywhere here!"

"In that case, this expense will not come from the national treasury. I will bear it all by myself!"

The Minister of Agriculture Zhangye was still wondering where he could get some money.

As a result, Ying Yuan's words confused him.

To be precise, not only him, but everyone present was stunned!
"Mr. Yuan, so rich?"

"Oh my god, you have to take care of it all, how rich you have to be!"

"Well, I just want to know where this money comes from. Your Majesty hasn't given much reward to Gongzi Yuan, right?"

"Could it be that he made some money from the last raid on the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

"Oh, you might have a problem with your brain. You've already spent all the money. Maybe it's not even enough!"

"Oh, about upgrading the weapons!"

"Hiss, that's not right. Doesn't this prove that Gongzi Yuan actually has other forces?"

"My god, this young man has amazing skills!"

"."

The whispers of all the court officials gathered together and made a constant noise like a swarm of bees.

But after thinking about it, everyone could only come to this conclusion.

That is because Gongzi Yuan was well prepared, and after becoming regent, his power expanded rapidly.

Only in this way can we explain why so much money can be taken out!
Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, Gongzi Yuan is no longer just about money.

The Wang family in the military and the Li family in the court, these are all allies of Gongzi Yuan.

If this continues, not to mention Prince Fusu, I'm afraid that after a while, even His Majesty won't be able to control him!
As the person involved, Wang Jian was not deaf.

Listening to the people around him grumbling, Wang Jian was really afraid that he would not be able to help but slap them.

What does it mean to join Gongzi Yuan's army?
I was just taking advantage of the situation!

This old man has been taken advantage of by someone!

But after he looked up at Ying Yuan, these words completely rotted in his stomach.

Damn it, it’s so embarrassing to say it out loud!
