Bai Chun's words not only failed to convince everyone, but instead raised more doubts.
"Hmm? What did Bai Chun just say? Can he solve the cost of road construction?"
"Bah! What are you thinking! That's not just a few cents, it's such a huge sum of money. Is he a god? Can he conjure it up?"
"You can't be sure of what you do if you don't have any hair on your mouth. You're clearly just pretending to be stubborn, but you look so confident!"
"I feel pity for old Bai Yu! His entire literary reputation will be ruined by his son!"
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Have you ever thought about what would happen if Gongzi Yuan came to support him? He has never worried about money!"
"No matter! As long as it doesn't raise taxes, it's fine. We'll just watch the fun!"
"."
The ministers were discussing what Bai Chun had just said, but the strange thing was that no one was willing to come out and support him.
To put it bluntly, it's not wrong to stand up and point fingers, but people should at least have some self-awareness.
Chunyu Yue not only had a bad reputation, but he had also clearly offended Gongzi Yuan, and just now he had also offended Prime Minister Li Si.
If he stood on Chunyu Yue's side, wouldn't that be equivalent to falling out with the two bosses on the spot?
But it’s not necessary to stand on Bai Chun’s side!
After all, not to mention that Bai Chun’s words just now were somewhat arrogant, the most important thing is that this little bastard doesn’t seem to have much shame.
What if I support him and he comes straight to my house to ask for money?
So, just watch the fun!
But when Chunyu Yue saw Bai Chun like this, he was so angry that he was shaking all over.
It's true that this little bastard Bai Chun didn't take him seriously at all.
In front of the court officials, he really didn't give me any face at all!
Of course, Chunyu Yue selectively forgot about the fact that he had rushed out to point fingers just now.
After all, in his opinion, as a great scholar like him, wasn't it natural for others to accept his guidance?
Even if the words were a little harsh or unpleasant to the ear, that's just the way a strict teacher behaves. Why can't you tolerate it?
Souyi, seeing that Bai Chun was still being arrogant, he was about to rush up and point fingers at him again.
But before he could walk out, he was stopped again by Shusun Tong.
Shusun Tong didn't have to save Chunyu Yue, but Chunyu Yue represented more than just himself.
There are so many Confucian disciples behind him.
Chunyu Yue is so embarrassed, and everyone else is ashamed too!
So, Shusun Tong had only one idea at this moment, which was to just knock Old Deng out with one punch.
How the hell is this happening?
But Chunyu Yue was held back by Shusun Tong. However, Bai Chun's eyes turned and a plan came to his mind.
"Dr. Chunyu, you look so eager to come up and point fingers. You don't really agree with Bai's point of view!"
"Well, in that case, how about we make a bet?"
"In this matter of providing relief to refugees and building roads, Bai did not ask for money from his colleagues, nor did he use the silver from the national treasury, but he was able to complete this matter in the end. Do you believe it or not?"
As soon as Bai Chun said this, the entire court seemed to explode!
"How can Bai Chun be so sure that he still wants to bet? This is not a small amount of money!"
"Haha, small amount of money? You should know that in previous years, His Majesty had to be extremely cautious when dealing with such matters, fearing that the national treasury could not bear it. Where does Bai Chun get the confidence from?"
"Could it be that the Bai family is planning to pay for it themselves? But I've never heard that the Bai family is very rich!"
"It's strange that his Bai family has this much money. Not to mention his Bai family, even the richest noble family can't afford such expenses. This is a national affair!"
"..."It must be said that all the court officials had an idea about this matter.
Providing relief to refugees is not an ordinary government matter that can be handled by just anyone.
To put it bluntly, if this matter was in the hands of the First Emperor, he would have to discuss it carefully with Li Si and others, and even if a decision was made, he would have to keep an eye on it and keep a close eye on it.
But now, Bai Chun has stepped forward and said that the matter can be done without using the national treasury.
Damn, is money falling from the sky?
If Bai Chun had not said just now that he would not ask for money from his colleagues, they would really be worried that Bai Chun would do the same as Feng Jie and target his colleagues.
Everyone tried to see something from Bai Chun's face.
But I found that the boy's chin was slightly raised and his nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked like he really wanted a beating.
Of course, this attitude is directed at Chunyu Yue.
And Chunyu Yue obviously really fell for it.
"Hmm, a bet?"
"What's the stakes?"
"No, this is a national issue, how can we treat it as a joke?"
Chunyu Yuedou had already talked about the bet, but suddenly he remembered Bai Chun's previous behavior and immediately changed his mind.
It’s not because of anything else, but because he was worried that Bai Chun would take this opportunity to trap someone to death.
So, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he immediately changed his words.
But Bai Chun saw that the other party was about to take the bait, so why did he change his mind?
Wouldn't he have to kick him right away and make him fall into the ditch?
Immediately, Bai Chun sighed with regret.
"Oh, that's it!"
"It seems that Dr. Chunyu attaches great importance to this national event. In this case, you may as well hand this matter over to Dr. Chunyu!"
"After all, when Dr. Chunyu was in charge of Juxiantang, he would often criticize current problems and give advice on state affairs!"
"The guests of Juxian Hall have talked to me about these things many times!"
"Therefore, in my opinion, a talent like Dr. Chunyu should not be ignored. He should be allowed to serve the country!"
"Sir, I recommend Doctor Chunyu!"
After hearing this, Chunyu Yue was not surprised at all. Instead, his expression changed drastically.
Even Shusun Tong, who was standing by, was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
Without him!
Others may not know, but don’t they know it themselves?
What is it about criticizing current social ills and giving advice on the country's future?
He was just making a lot of nonsense in the Juxian Hall, shouting and clamoring to support Prince Fusu in the fight for the throne.
Of course, when they were happy, they talked a lot about dividing the world in the future, and secretly said some nonsense like the First Emperor.
It felt refreshing when I said it at the time, but if it were to come out now, it would be really funny.
Although we cannot argue back with this groundless accusation, everyone has a brain and can make the distinction.
If these words were to get out, these Confucian officials would never be able to do anything in the Qin court again!
After all, you instigated Prince Fusu to compete for the throne, and you also wanted to implement the feudal system, and finally you even overthrew the First Emperor?
If you don’t die, who will?
Who would dare to stand with such a person in the future!
I don't even know when this guy got into trouble! (End of this chapter)
