Chapter 515

"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 knows some of the twists and turns in officialdom.

Of the silver allocated from Xianyang City, very little is able to reach its destination.

Most of it is privately embezzled by some officials.

For some ordinary matters, Ying Zheng can turn a blind eye.

But this time, if anyone dares to reach out and covet this silver again,

he would not mind helping to chop off the hand that reached out.

"You may go."

Ying Zheng then waved his hand.

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

On the other side.

Ying Mo naturally learned about the "817" incident that happened in the imperial court.

He did not expect Ying Zheng to have raised 300,000 silver taels through this matter.

He recalled the silver that Lu Li had previously taken from Zhang Han's hands.

"Has that silver already been transported to the Northwest?"

Ying Mo asked.

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

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

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

Lu Li said.

This was something that happened before, but because there were too many things happening during this period, he did not have 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 among the officials of Great Qin,

Ying Mo also felt incomparable disgust.

But he also clearly understood the principle that when water is too clear, there are no fish.

Even if he were to take action to rectify it, it would not last long at all.

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

But as long as he grasps that degree, those officials below would not dare to be too presumptuous.

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

Ying Mo then asked another question.

"It seems that ever since that time when the grass was beaten to startle the snake, those people have made no more moves."

"However, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has uncovered a piece of news."

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

Lu Li said.

Ying Mo's brows twitched when he heard this news.

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

"Have you overheard them saying anything?"

Ying Mo then asked.

"No news was overheard."

Lu Li said with some strangeness.

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

It was just like ordinary friends meeting up for a simple meal.

This is the part that made her feel strange.

Ying Mo was also somewhat surprised.

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

Yet he didn't expect that they didn't say anything at all.

His brows immediately furrowed, and he felt that these two seemed somewhat 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, and every time they meet, it seems to just be a simple meal at a restaurant."

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

Lu Li said.

This act by the two of them left both Ying Mo and Lu Li feeling somewhat 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 forces one to speculate.

Not only was Ying Mo confused, but even Prince Fusu felt confused.

Fu Nian naturally heard about the contact between Wang Ben and Hu Hai.

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

Prince Fusu's brows furrowed.

Although he did not hope for too deep a connection between Prince Fusu and the Wang family,

he also clearly understood one principle.

If one is an emperor without military power in one's hands, one will absolutely not be able to sit firmly in that position.

Their Confucian school has a certain influence among the civil officials,

but it cannot influence the military generals at all.

Fu Nian originally intended to cooperate with the Wang family later to jointly support Prince Fusu,

because he sensed that General Wang Lao seemed more inclined toward Prince Fusu.

Yet he didn't expect Wang Ben would choose to get in touch with Hu Hai.

This is no different from telling everyone in public that the Wang family has chosen to support Hu Hai.

This immediately disrupted Fu Nian's plan.

"Teacher, why be nervous?"

Prince Fusu thought Fu Nian was being too nervous.

Even if General Wang Ben is in contact with Hu Hai, it's no big deal.

Fu Nian, after hearing Prince Fusu's words, had a complex expression on his face...

"Young Master, do you know that Wang Ben represents military power?"

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

Fu Nian did not say the words that followed.

Fu Nian understands Prince Fusu.

If Ying Zheng is willing to hand that position to him,
