Chapter 487

"I heard that His Majesty has already issued an order for Meng Tian to be the commander-in-chief to personally 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 has long been unable to support a long-distance expedition."

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

Fu Nian looked at Prince Fusu and said.

After hearing Fu Nian's words, Prince Fusu's brows immediately furrowed.

He naturally also knew about the previous tax silver loss case and had personally investigated it.

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

Now that this matter was brought up again, he reacted and realized that the national treasury had long since not had that much silver.

And because of the loss of tax silver, Ying Zheng had additionally spent another sum of silver to transfer to the northwest region.

【Garbled text】

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

Unless necessary, under normal circumstances, the country is unwilling to launch a long-distance expedition.

"I must stop the Father Emperor."

"The national treasury simply cannot afford the consumption."

Prince Fusu said with furrowed brows; he immediately realized the gravity of this matter.

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

Once empty for a long time, I am afraid it would shake the foundation of the entire Great Qin.

Thinking of this, Prince Fusu immediately accelerated his movements and walked out of the room nimbly.

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

Although he was not clear about which people were involved in this scheme.

But he did not want Hu Hai to ascend to that position.

After all, between Young Master Prince Fusu and Young Master Hu Hai, their Confucian school chose Prince Fusu.

In order for the Confucian school to develop better.

He must let Prince Fusu ascend to that position.

That group of people made a big fuss just to let Ying Zheng send troops to attack the Xiongnu.

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

Prince Fusu hurriedly arrived at Ying Zheng's palace; Ying Zheng was currently dealing with the tasks at hand.

When Ying Zheng heard the eunuch say that Prince Fusu had come, he was somewhat surprised.

After all, Prince Fusu had been staying in his sleeping quarters 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 somewhat tiredly.

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

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

Ying Zheng sighed heavily in his heart.

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

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

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

"That's right."

"I have already issued an order for Meng Tian to be the commander-in-chief of this army."

"Father Emperor, this must not be done."

Prince Fusu raised his head, looked at Ying Zheng with a sincere gaze, and said somewhat urgently.

Hearing Prince Fusu's words, Ying Zheng's brows immediately furrowed.

"Presumptuous!"

"When did it become your turn to question my decision?"

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

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

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

Prince Fusu said earnestly and seriously.
