Chapter 236

Ying Zheng said in a calm voice.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian immediately understood Ying Zheng's meaning.

His Majesty did not trust that group of people, which was why he entrusted the silver to him for safekeeping.

At the same time, he set up a false impression to distract that group of people.

... ing.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely use this silver for the army."

"I will not let it disappear into some corner."

Meng Tian replied with a serious face.

He naturally knew some of the twists and turns in officialdom.

Of the silver allocated from Xianyanggong, very little could reach its destination.

Most of it was privately embezzled by some officials.

Ying Zheng could turn a blind eye to some ordinary things.

But this time, if anyone dared to reach out and covet this money.

He wouldn't mind helping these people chop off the hand that reached out.

"You may go."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Meng Tian originally intended to ask when they would set off, but seeing Ying Zheng's expression, he kept his mouth shut.

On the other side.

Ying Mo also learned of the events that happened in the imperial court.

He didn't expect Ying Zheng to raise 300, 00 taels of silver through this matter.

He remembered the silver that Lu Li had taken from Zhang Han's hands earlier.

"Has that silver been transported to the Northwest?"

Ying Mo asked.

"That silver had long been transported to the Northwest by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"The officials in the Northwest originally wanted to covet that silver, but were directly dealt with by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard used all that silver to buy grain and distributed it to the disaster victims."

Lu Li said.

This was something that happened before, but because there were too many things happening during this time, he hadn't had time to tell Ying Mo.

Ying Mo nodded with satisfaction, knowing that the silver had not been embezzled by anyone.

Regarding the various private actions between the officials of Great Qin.

Ying Mo also felt immense disgust.

"This is His Majesty's decision; we just need to follow His Majesty's decision."

Even if he took action to rectify it, it wouldn't last long.

It would only make those officials below hide deeper, and the things that happened would be even darker.

But as long as he grasped that degree, those officials below wouldn't dare to act too recklessly.

"Have those people made any moves during this time?"

Ying Mo asked another question.

"It seems that since that time they were startled, those people haven't made any moves."

"However, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion found out a piece of news."

"Wang Ben seems to have been walking very close to Hu Hai during this time."

Lu Li said.

When Ying Mo heard this news, his eyebrows twitched.

Could it be that the Wang family intended to support Hu Hai?

"Did you find out what they were saying?"

Ying Mo asked.

"I didn't find out any news."

Lu Li said with some surprise.

These two clearly had private contact, yet they didn't say anything at all.

It was just like ordinary friends meeting, simply having a meal.

This was what she found strange.

Ying Mo was also a bit surprised.

He originally thought that when these two met, they would definitely say something.

He didn't expect them to say nothing at all.

His brow immediately furrowed; he always felt that these two seemed a bit strange.

"Are you sure they didn't say anything?"

"I am very sure. The people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion have been watching them for a long time; every time they meet, it seems they are just having a simple meal in the restaurant."

"If they said the most, it was probably just about how the dishes were."

Lu Li said.

This act of the two left Ying Mo and Lu Li feeling a bit confused for a moment.

"Continue to watch the Wang family; I always feel they seem to have other plans."

Ying Mo said.

At a time like this, Wang Ben suddenly getting in touch with Hu Hai.

It had to make people speculate.

Not only was Ying Mo confused, but Fusu also felt confused.

Funi naturally found out about the contact between Wang Ben and Hu Hai.

"Young Master, it seems the Wang family intends to support Hu Hai."

Fusu's brow furrowed.

Although he didn't want Fusu to have too deep a connection with the Wang family.

But he also clearly understood one principle.

If one were an emperor without military power, one would absolutely not be able to sit firmly in that position.

Their Ru family had a certain influence among the civil officials.

But they couldn't influence the military generals at all.

Funi originally intended to cooperate with the Wang family later to jointly support Fusu.

Because he sensed that the old General Wang seemed more inclined toward Fusu.

He didn't expect Wang Ben to choose to get in touch with Hu Hai.

This was no different from telling everyone in public that the Wang family chose to support Hu Hai.

This immediately disrupted Funi's plan.

"Master, why be so nervous?"

Fusu thought Funi was too nervous.

Even if the young General Wang Ben got in touch with Hu Hai, it was no big deal.

After hearing Fusu's words, Funi's face looked a bit complicated.

"Does the Young Master know that Wang Ben represents military power?"

"If the Wang family really chose Hu Hai..."

Funi didn't say the rest.

Funi understood Fusu.

If Ying Zheng were willing to hand that position to him.

Fusu would naturally be happy.

But Fusu would absolutely not be able to do the act of snatching that position.

"Everything is up to Father."

After Fusu raised his head and said this, he looked at the book in his hand again.

He didn't care about Wang Ben getting in touch with Hu Hai.

As long as Father finally decided to hand that position to him, then he would be the second monarch of the Qin State.

Even if Hu Hai had the support of Wang Ben, it still wouldn't change this fact.

The Wang family.

"I only told you to get in touch with Hu Hai, but you..."

Wang Jian looked at his son angrily.

He only wanted his son to have private contact with Young Master Hu Hai; he didn't expect him to have contact with Hu Hai several times in public.

This move of his was no different from putting the Wang family on a fire to roast.

Now everyone knew that their Wang family might choose to support Young Master Hu Hai.

This move by Wang Ben made Wang Jian so angry he almost vomited blood.

"Father, do you really intend to support Young Master Fusu?"

"He has already been confined to the bedchamber by His Majesty."

"At such a critical time, what strength does he have to compete with Young Master Hu Hai?"

Wang Ben said indignantly.

He did this on purpose.

He knew his father wouldn't easily make up his mind to support which Young Master.

If he didn't do this himself, I'm afraid those people wouldn't trust him either.

"Do you know what our Wang family will face if the one who finally ascends to that position is not Young Master Hu Hai?"

Wang Jian calmed down and looked coldly at his son.

He originally thought this son had grown up and could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Wang family.

He didn't expect him to be so foolish in this major matter.

In public, he was in close contact with Young Master Hu Hai.

Even if he, Wang Jian, said he wouldn't support Young Master Hu Hai, I'm afraid no one would believe him.

"Father, why can't we just help Young Master Hu Hai sit in that position?"

Wang Ben looked straight into Wang Jian's eyes and asked back.
