Chapter 489

If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, I am afraid his life would not be guaranteed at all.

"Father Emperor, increasing taxes will only make the common people suffer."

"This must not be done."

Prince Fusu interrupted Ying Zheng's words directly.

Ying Zheng's brows furrowed again.

"What do you intend to do?"

He said.

"These Xiongnu, although they often invade our Great Qin border."

"But these Xiongnu also have their hardships; their grasslands cannot be planted, and they can only obtain grain through us."

Prince Fusu said.

When he finished saying this, Ying Zheng's face immediately turned cold.

"This is what you think."

His voice was unusually cold, and at the same time, his eyes were staring fixedly at Prince Fusu.

Prince Fusu also felt the change in Ying Zheng at this moment, but he still insisted and nodded.

"We can send envoys to negotiate with the Xiongnu."

Prince Fusu put forward his own view.

As soon as his words were finished, Ying Zheng directly threw the teacup in his hand.

Bang!

The teacup finally hit Prince Fusu's arm heavily.

Fortunately, the tea inside had long since cooled down.

But Prince Fusu still felt a sharp pain coming from his arm.

The fallen teacup rolled on the ground.

"Is this the view you hold?"

"Could it be that the Xiongnu cannot grow grain? Is this the reason they can harass our Great Qin every day?"

"I am afraid all the books you've read over these years have been read into a dog's stomach."

"Get out!"

After scolding, Ying Zheng didn't even look at Prince Fusu.

He closed his eyes directly, covering the anger in his eyes.

Prince Fusu did not expect Ying Zheng to be so angry, and he felt Ying Zheng's monstrous anger.

The whole person paused slightly, but still slowly retreated from Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

The Father Emperor obviously did not want to talk to him anymore.

Prince Fusu understood Ying Zheng and knew that if he continued to stay here, I am afraid there would be no good results.

"This is my good son."

"I didn't expect that what I cultivated was such a thing."

Looking at Prince Fusu's departing back, Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

Watching Zhang Han had been standing behind Ying Zheng, and he had seen everything just now.

He also did not expect that Young Master Prince Fusu would have such a view.

Clearly knowing that His Majesty extremely loathed the Xiongnu, yet he said such things.

I don't know who he was influenced by.

"It seems that the matter of choosing a successor still needs to be reconsidered."

Ying Zheng said.

Watching Zhang Han was slightly stunned when he heard Ying Zheng say this.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

One must know that even though Ying Zheng only had two sons, Young Master Prince Fusu and Young Master Hu Hai.

But he had never explicitly stated who he would choose as his successor.

Regarding these two sons, Ying Zheng had always maintained an indifferent attitude.

But the words just now indicated that Ying Zheng seemed to have long since chosen Young Master Prince Fusu to be the next successor.

Unfortunately, Young Master Prince Fusu's performance just now made Ying Zheng very disappointed.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Prince Fusu is just somewhat worried about the empty national treasury."

"But it must be said that Young Master Prince Fusu's consideration is the main point; the current national treasury indeed cannot take out so much military pay."

Watching Zhang Han said.

He did not mention the Xiongnu.

In his eyes, the Xiongnu were no different from wild beasts.

He also really wanted to eliminate the Xiongnu, but the national treasury indeed could not support it for long.

After Ying Zheng finished listening to Watching Zhang Han's words, he waved his hand.

"From today on, all systems in the imperial palace will be reduced by half."

"Those officials also have quite a lot of silver in their hands; it is time to let them bleed."

A cold smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, but cold light flickered in his eyes.

He naturally knew which officials under him were corrupt and breaking the law.

It was just that he also understood that if the water is too clear, there are no fish.

It is impossible for there to be officials who do not engage in corruption.

As long as it wasn't excessive, he would just turn a blind eye and endure it.
