Chapter 222

To this, he had nothing to say.

Ying Zheng's eyes slowly deepened.

Regardless of whether Ying Mo blamed him or not, he still decided to do this.

…………

The news that General Meng Tian was about to lead troops to attack the Xiongnu immediately spread.

When this news reached Fu Nian's ears, Fu Nian's expression changed slightly.

"How do you think this news spread?"

Fu Nian looked at his junior brother, Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's face was pale; the toxins in his body still remained.

"This matter is definitely not simple."

"The appearance of the Xiongnu might be the handiwork of someone."

Zhang Liang said weakly.

Ever since he was poisoned, all his internal energy had been used to suppress the toxins in his body.

He had become much weaker.

Now he had a feeling that he was about to be unable to suppress the toxins in his body.

Seeing Zhang Liang's increasingly pale face, Fu Nian immediately said,

"If it really doesn't work, I will go and ask Fusu where that elixir came from."

Fu Nian truly could not bear to see his little junior brother in such a weak state.

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

No one wants to die.

Let alone someone like him.

His ideals and ambitions had not yet been realized.

How could he be willing to die from poison?

"Do you think he will tell us?"

Zhang Liang was somewhat skeptical.

After all, during this period, Fusu had slowly become somewhat reticent.

Although Fusu still trusted them, Zhang Liang was not sure if Fusu would tell them about the elixir.

After all, he had probed a few times before, but Fusu never answered directly.

After listening to his junior brother's words, a smile appeared on Fu Nian's face.

"You can rest assured about this."

"He still has to rely on the power of our Confucian school." ### CHAPTER 491

Fu Nian still had this confidence.

Their Confucian school had been by Fusu's side for several years.

In these few years, they had already slowly influenced some of Fusu's concepts.

These concepts could not be seen at this moment.

But once Fusu became the Emperor of Great Qin, the benefits would slowly manifest.

Zhang Liang said nothing more; Fu Nian just patted him and told him to rest well.

In the bedroom, Fusu was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the book in his hand.

Then he heard the voice of a palace servant from outside.

"Young Master Fusu, Master Fu Nian is here."

The palace servant said from outside.

"Quickly let the teacher in."

Fusu looked up and put away the book in his hand.

"Young Master, how is your health during this period?"

Fu Nian said with a smile as he saw Fusu.

"Many thanks for your concern, Teacher. Since the toxins in my body were removed, my health has slowly improved."

A faint smile also appeared on Fusu's face.

No one wants their life to enter a countdown phase.

Now that Fusu had been cured, he felt much lighter.

He also lost the previous oppression.

"Zhang Liang, how is his situation?"

Seeing Fu Nian, he suddenly thought of Zhang Liang, who had been poisoned with him.

Zhang Liang had also probed him before, asking where that elixir came from.

But Fusu did not intend to tell Zhang Liang the truth.

After all, this elixir was given by the Ghost.

The Ghost was a powerful force hidden in the shadows, and even he dared not provoke it easily.

Although Fusu did not understand why the Ghost would give him an antidote, he remained tight-lipped about this force.

"Still the same, his body is slowly weakening."

After finishing, Fu Nian sighed heavily.

Hearing Fu Nian say this, Fusu's face also became heavy.

After all, Zhang Liang was injured because he saved him.

If it weren't for Zhang Liang sensing something wrong first, I fear he would have already died in that conspiracy.

"Rest assured, I will definitely find an antidote to save Zhang Liang."

Fusu said.

"Then I will thank you on behalf of my junior brother, Young Master."

A smile appeared on Fu Nian's face.

"By the way, Young Master, have you heard about the events happening in Xianyang City recently?"

Fu Nian asked again, pretending to be casual.

"What is it that you are referring to, Teacher?"

Fusu asked curiously; during this period, he had focused on recuperating and had not paid attention to outside matters.

"Does the Young Master not know yet?"

"News has come from the Great Qin border that traces of the Xiongnu seem to have been discovered again."

Fu Nian said.

After listening, a look of surprise appeared on Fusu's face.

"The Xiongnu have actually appeared again."

After finishing, his brows immediately furrowed.

One must know that during this period, the Xiongnu were the heart-worry of the entire Great Qin.

Whether it was the events of five years ago or the harassment of Great Qin by the Xiongnu over these years.

"Although the Xiongnu are fierce, the Xiongnu are located in a desolate place with no fields to plant grain."

"Invading the Great Qin border is also a difficult move."

Fu Nian shook his head and sighed.

After he finished speaking, Fusu immediately thought of the environment where the Xiongnu lived.

The vast grasslands indeed could not grow grain, and they could not harvest any grain crops.

It was no wonder these Xiongnu people were so fierce and had to rob Great Qin of its grain. ### CHAPTER 492

"I heard that His Majesty has already ordered Meng Tian to be the commander-in-chief and send troops to attack the Xiongnu."

"The northwest is suffering from a severe drought, and coupled with the loss of tax silver, the national treasury is already unable to support a long-distance expedition."

"If this matter really comes true, I fear the national treasury will soon be empty."

Fu Nian looked at Fusu and said.

After listening to Fu Nian's words, Fusu's brows immediately furrowed.

He naturally knew about the loss of tax silver before, and he had personally investigated it.

But he had no clue about the entire tax silver case, and with Li Si's death, the tax silver case just ended like that.

Now that this matter was brought up again, he realized that the national treasury did not have that much silver anymore.

And because of the loss of tax silver, Ying Zheng had to spend an additional sum of silver to be transferred to the northwest.

A long-distance expedition by a large army was not a small consumption.

Unless necessary, under normal circumstances, a country would not be willing to launch a long-distance expedition.

"I must stop Father."

"The national treasury cannot withstand the consumption."

Fusu said with a furrowed brow; he immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

If Ying Zheng really sent Meng Tian on a long-distance expedition against the Xiongnu, I fear the national treasury would gradually become empty.

If it remained empty for a long time, I fear it would shake the foundation of the entire Great Qin.

Thinking of this, Fusu immediately quickened his pace and walked out of the room nimbly.

Fu Nian watched Fusu's back until it disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although he did not know which people were involved in this scheme,

He did not want Hu Hai to ascend to that position.

After all, between Young Master Fusu and Young Master Hu Hai, they, the Confucian school, chose Fusu.

In order for the Confucian school to develop better,

He must let Fusu ascend to that position.

That group of people was making a big fuss precisely because they wanted Ying Zheng to send troops to attack the Xiongnu.

And he wanted to let Fusu persuade Ying Zheng not to attack the Xiongnu.

Fusu hurried to Ying Zheng's palace, where Ying Zheng was currently handling tasks.

Ying Zheng was somewhat surprised when he heard from the eunuch that Fusu had come.

After all, Fusu had stayed in his bedroom during this period and was unwilling to go out.

"Let him in."

Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and rubbed his forehead with some fatigue.

Too many major events had happened during this period, and he could only handle them alone.

If that child were still alive, I fear he wouldn't need to be so tired now.

Ying Zheng sighed heavily in his heart.

"Father, I heard that you have appointed General Meng Tian as the commander-in-chief to send troops to attack the Xiongnu."

After Fusu entered, he bowed to Ying Zheng and then spoke.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's performance, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still said patiently.

"That's right."

"I have already ordered Meng Tian to be the commander-in-chief of this army."

"Father, this must not be done."

Fusu looked up, his gaze sincere as he looked at Ying Zheng, somewhat urgently.

Upon hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng's brows immediately furrowed.

"Presumptuous!"

"Since when is my decision something for you to question?"

Ying Zheng's tone was very heavy, containing thick anger.

Seeing the anger in Ying Zheng's eyes, Fusu knelt down with a thud.

"Father, I am not doing this for anything else, but for the entire Great Qin."

Fusu said sincerely and seriously. ### CHAPTER 493
