Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 39 Fusu and the minister confront each other! The bet between Fusu and the minister!

"Your Majesty, Da Qin has a vast territory with many gentry and nobles."

"Even with His Majesty's will, it will not be easy for General Meng Yi to collect taxes."

"In the opinion of the veteran, General Meng Yi may have encountered some trouble in collecting taxes."

"I think it is better for General Meng Yi to temporarily stop collecting taxes from the gentry and nobles and think of a safe way to solve the problem of empty treasury."

A gray-haired minister stood up, raised his hands to Ying Zheng and said.

Everyone looked at the minister, and they had the impression that Fusu had made a suggestion yesterday.

The gray-haired minister also stood up to oppose Fusu's proposal.

When Chunyu Yue heard the minister's boastful words, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He knew that the minister wanted to take advantage of this opportunity when he saw that Meng Yi did not come to court.

Let your Majesty cancel the taxes collected from the squires and nobles. This will not only protect the interests of their ministers.

You can also let His Majesty know that Fusu's proposal is not suitable for the current Great Qin.

In this way, Your Majesty may no longer consider the issue of taxation from these squires and nobles.

Since the ministers have come forward, Chunyu Yue does not need to come out and say anything.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

After hearing what the gray-haired minister said, some ministers also stood up and agreed.

They were all ministers who opposed Fusu's suggestion. If Meng Yi did not come to the court this morning and had the opportunity, they would definitely seize this opportunity.

Wang Jian and Li Si frowned when they heard the words of these ministers. These ministers spoke nicely for the sake of Da Qin.

In fact, for their own benefit at heart, Wang Jian and Li Si usually disdain to talk to these ministers.

Hu Hai's lips slightly raised when he heard the words of these ministers. Once his father agreed to the suggestions of these ministers.

Fusu will be embarrassed in court today, which is a good thing for Hu Hai.

Ying Zheng felt a little dissatisfied when he heard the words of these ministers. He knew very well that these ministers had their own little intentions in opposing them.

However, Meng Yi did not come to court, and Ying Zheng felt that he might have encountered some trouble.

Fusu's suggestion was a good one, but maybe he was too excited yesterday.

Ying Zheng did not prepare properly, so he asked Meng Yi to collect taxes.

There is some truth to what Minister Cai just said, and Ying Zheng was wondering if he should temporarily slow down Fusu's proposal.

After preparations are complete, let Meng Yi send people to collect taxes.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask Fusu what he thought about this matter.

He found that Fusu's face was calm and he was not disturbed at all by the words of the ministers just now.

"You also heard what these ministers said just now, Fusu, what do you think?"

Looking at the calm Fusu, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said.

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, including some of the ministers who had just made the suggestion, they also looked at Fusu.

After hearing what the First Emperor said, Fusu looked back at the ministers who had just made suggestions.

Several ministers who were looked down upon by Fusu had a hint of anger in their hearts. Just now, Fusu looked at them with a trace of disdain in his eyes. Fusu was looking down on them.

"Report to the Emperor!"

"The suggestions made by these ministers just now are nothing more than a joke in my eyes."

"General Meng Yi is both civil and military, and he has the will of his father. Some squires and nobles in the area are still incapable of success."

"Father, don't worry, Meng Yi has not come to the morning court for the time being."

"It must be that there are too many taxes collected that need to be counted, and we can't get out for a while."

"Please, Father, forgive General Meng Yi for not being able to come to the morning court!"

With a smile on his face, Fusu looked at the First Emperor and bowed his hands.

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard Fusu's words. They thought that Fusu would defend Meng Yi.

Unexpectedly, Fusu would argue like this and mock the ministers who had just made suggestions.

"There are so many gentry and nobles in Da Qin, even if General Meng Yi has His Majesty's will."

"It won't be easy to collect taxes like Mr. Fusu said."

"Master Fusu, please stop defending General Meng Yi."

"I ask your Majesty to withdraw his decree and reconsider how to deal with the emptiness of the treasury." The gray-haired minister looked at Fusu and started his own counterattack.

Fusu's ridicule just now made him very angry. Since Fusu didn't give him any face, he would not give Fusu any good face again.

If he were alone, he would still be afraid of Fusu, but with the support of other ministers, he would not be afraid of Fusu.

"I second the proposal!"

"General Meng Yi may have encountered difficulties. Please take back your decree!"

The few gray-haired ministers who had just supported him echoed again.

Wang Jian and Li Si had a hint of anger on their faces when they heard the words of several ministers. Fusu was His Majesty's eldest son.

These ministers were so rude, and the two of them felt a little dissatisfied.

Chunyu Yue was very happy when he saw this scene. Only when Fusu was in a desperate situation and he, the teacher, took action would Fusu remember him as the teacher.

He wished that more ministers would stand up and confront Fusu.

When Hu Hai saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have laughed out loud.

Yesterday Fusu targeted these ministers, and today these ministers also stood up and targeted Fusu.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He didn't expect things to develop like this.

Meng Yi did not come to the morning court, but the impact was still relatively large.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to open his mouth to speak, Fusu spoke again:

"Report to the Emperor!"

"Since several ministers feel that General Meng Yi cannot fulfill my father's will, I think this is a small matter for General Meng Yi."

"I ask my father to grant me a request. If Meng Yi is unable to fulfill my father's will."

"My son is willing to withdraw from the court and go to the border to guard the border with General Meng Tian to fight against the Xiongnu and protect the security of the Qin Dynasty."

"If General Meng Yi fulfills his father's will, these ministers will just stand up and make objections."

"They are also asked to resign and return home, and hand over all their family wealth to support Da Qin."

"Please allow me, Father!"

Fusu spoke with a hint of domineering decisiveness, which echoed throughout the Qilin Hall.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Fusu's words, they didn't expect it.

It's just that there were some differences of opinion between the minister and Fusu, and Fusu actually dared to say that he would leave the court to guard the border.

Fusu is His Majesty's eldest son and is very likely to become the emperor of Qin in the future.

Exiting the court and going to the border means giving up the throne.

Using succession to the throne as a bet and betting against some ministers, everyone was very shocked.

Some of the ministers who had just been facing each other tit for tat with Fusu looked at each other with a hint of excitement on their faces.

They just wanted His Majesty to take back his decree, but Fusu unexpectedly gave them a surprise.

If Fusu leaves the court, he will no longer be a threat to them.

Thinking of this, these ministers looked at the First Emperor, hoping that the First Emperor would agree to Fusu's request.

Wang Jian and Li Si were stunned when they heard Fusu's words, and when they realized it, there was a trace of anxiety on their faces.

The two felt that Fusu was too impulsive. How could he use quitting the court to guard the border as a bet against these ministers.

When Hu Hai heard Fusu's words, he would dance with joy if the occasion was not right.

Meng Yi did not go to the morning court today. In his opinion, he encountered trouble in collecting taxes from the squires and nobles.

Fusu actually believed in Meng Yi so much that he even used quitting the court to guard the border as a bet.

Once Fusu lost, it would be equivalent to giving up the throne.

In this way, he, the prince, can inherit the throne of his father.

Hu Hai clenched his fists in his sleeves, and he was very excited at this time.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he heard Fusu's words. He felt that Fusu was a little impulsive.

Ying Zheng also felt that Meng Yi might have encountered some trouble at this time, if Fu Su had not said these words.

He could also use other words to delay for some time.

Fusu's request just now was heard by so many ministers, and even he couldn't refuse it.

"Fusu, I will agree to your request!"
