Chapter 300

After ordering everything, Ying Zheng slowly put down his teacup.

……Ding.

282. As a Soldier, One Cannot Just Look at the Surface! (Please subscribe!)

Night, for some people, is the best time for action.

For some people, it is already the next day when they open their eyes.

"Your Majesty, it is time to get up."

It was dim outside the window, and Eunuch Zhuo was already standing at Ying Zheng's door.

He stood at the door cautiously, listening carefully to the movement inside.

And when Ying Zheng heard the eunuch's voice, he immediately opened his eyes.

After sleeping last night, the insomnia he had originally experienced did not happen.

Sleeping until this time, it was truly rare.

"Come in."

Ying Zheng slowly sat up from the bed and said to the outside.

Hearing His Majesty's instructions, Eunuch Zhuo immediately waved his hand at the little eunuchs under him.

Those little eunuchs who specifically served Ying Zheng walked into Ying Zheng's room with their heads lowered "880".

The work of serving Ying Zheng personally was naturally done by Eunuch Zhuo himself.

Eunuch Zhuo said to Ying Zheng while helping him tidy up his clothes.

"Your Majesty."

"Master Priest said that before the prayer ceremony, you must fast for one day."

"Only in this way can you ensure that your body and mind are clean, and it will show respect for the gods."

Eunuch Zhuo said in a low voice beside Ying Zheng.

Fasting for one day means that during this day, Ying Zheng cannot consume any meat or fish.

And he must bathe at night.

Wash his whole body clean to show his reverence for the gods.

Ying Zheng gave a light "um".

He had long been clear about these prayer or sacrificial ceremonies.

For him, he actually did not believe in gods.

But if the belief in gods could make his rule of the empire smoother,

He did not mind believing in gods, so that all the people would believe in him more.

………

Xianyanggong side.

Since Ying Zheng left, Fusu began to take over all the affairs of Great Qin under the support of Zhang Han.

Fu Nian seemed to know that Zhang Han did not like him, so he did not appear beside Fusu during this time.

He had two plans for doing this.

One was to weaken Zhang Han's vigilance against him, and the other was to use this time to help his junior brother find a divine physician.

Although he had already promised the black-clad man in front of his junior brother, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

If he could find a divine physician, he would have a way to solve the poison on his junior brother.

Once the poison on his junior brother could be solved, he would not have to promise the black-clad man anymore.

He did not like to connect himself with other forces; he hoped that the Confucian School could reach a peak position through the efforts of their brothers.

The memorials sent to Fusu every day were carefully selected.

So Fusu handled them exceptionally easily.

"General Zhang Han, do you think that after the prayer ceremony, will there really be sweet rain in the Northwest?"

After reading the memorial in his hand, Fusu folded it and asked in a somewhat flustered manner.

What was written on this memorial was exactly the situation of the people in the Northwest living in misery.

The Governor of the Northwest was requesting aid from Xianyanggong.

"Young Master, has something big happened?"

Zhang Han, who had been staying quietly beside Fusu, suddenly heard this question from Fusu, and he was somewhat surprised.

Subsequently, he might have expected what was written on the memorial.

Fusu did not hide it from Zhang Han, but told all the news on the memorial.

"The situation in the Northwest seems to be even more serious; there is news of people exchanging children to eat."

"The officials in the Northwest hope that we in Xianyanggong can provide another sum of money and grain."

Fusu had some worry on his face.

If the national treasury were sufficient, he would naturally not be stingy with money and grain.

But a large amount of silver had already been lost, and General Meng Tian had gone on an expedition, taking away another large amount of silver.

Now the entire national treasury could only be described as a deficit.

Where could he find a large amount of silver and grain for those people?

If he followed the previous method, it would not succeed at all.

His Majesty went to pray, and most of the civil and military officials in the court followed His Majesty to participate in the prayer ceremony.

These civil and military officials were all gone, so how could he get so much silver from their hands?

Zhang Han's brows twitched upon hearing Fusu's words.

He clearly remembered that Ying Zheng had previously said that an unknown force had appeared in the Northwest.

And this unknown force had distributed a large amount of grain to the people of the Northwest, allowing the people of the Northwest to not be rich, but not starve.

Why was it written on this memorial that the people of the Northwest were exchanging children to eat?

Zhang Han immediately thought of something, and his eyes turned cold instantly.

"Young Master."

"As a ruler, one cannot just look at the surface; all things must be mastered in one's own hands."

"You might as well send someone to the Northwest to find out the situation before making a decision."

Zhang Han said.

Fusu was slightly stunned upon hearing Zhang Han's words.

Because he had never doubted what the officials below said in the memorials.

But he also knew the role Zhang Han was left behind for.

Zhang Han was His Majesty, left behind to help him handle government affairs.

So Fusu still valued Zhang Han's advice very much.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

"Since General Zhang Han has said so, then I should indeed investigate this matter."

"Does General Zhang Han have any available manpower?"

After thinking for a moment, Fusu suddenly looked up at Zhang Han.

Generally, people who need to investigate things are quite capable.

But until now, Fusu realized that all the people under him were Confucian scholars.

These people could write poems and chant couplets, and talk about serious matters.

But if they were asked to investigate things, they might not be as good as some commoners.

At this moment, Fusu suddenly realized how easy it was to have people under his command.

Because he had always had his teacher by his side before, and his teacher helped him plan and solve all 1. things.

So he suddenly found that he had no available people under his command.

Fusu's brows immediately furrowed.

Zhang Han was slightly stunned after hearing Fusu's words, and then laughed.

"Please rest assured, Young Master Fusu, I will solve this matter personally."
