Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 35 Building a new capital
Fusu nodded slightly, as if he was thinking about the data provided by Meng Yi, and seemed to have some ideas in his mind.

"Meng Qing, I have made a plan in my heart. You just need to support me at the right time in the court tomorrow," Fusu said firmly, seeing Meng Yi's puzzled expression.

After speaking, Fusu left here.Seeing Fusu's leaving back, Meng Yi couldn't help but feel a little bit suspicious, is there really any way for the young master to make His Majesty change his mind?

Meng Yi didn't believe it, but in his heart, he was looking forward to it.

……

When everyone finished saluting, Li Si took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of building a new palace has been discussed for more than [-] days. Your Majesty, please make a quick decision."

"What the prime minister said is true, I thought..."

Yingzheng was about to open his mouth to finalize the matter, but Fusu came out and said, "Report to Father, I have something to say."

Looking at Fusu who came out, Yingzheng felt a little unhappy. He asked him yesterday and said he had no objection. Do you want to get involved in this matter again today?

Zhao Gao's face was as usual, but Fusu knew that at this moment, Zhao Gao was rolling on the ground laughing in his heart!
But it's not certain who will have the last laugh!

And Xianyang Ling Yan Le's face of joy was already vivid on the paper, it would be better not to cover up that affectation.

Ying Zheng suppressed his unhappiness and asked, "Fusu, what do you want to say?"

"Report to my father, the Xianyang order said that the city of Xianyang is overcrowded and asked to build a new palace. My son thinks this is not feasible."

When Fusu showed this attitude, the ministers in the court whispered one by one, and although Mian Yan covered Yingzheng's face and forehead, he could feel the chill emanating from Yingzheng several feet away.

This is a long time in a high position for decades, and has developed a supreme power.

When Yan Le saw this scene, the joy in his heart couldn't be increased.Since the last time Fusu offered a blank paper, his old father-in-law Zhao Gao strictly ordered not to provoke Fusu easily, but to wait for the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Fusu jumped into the pit on his own initiative this time. How could the kind-hearted Mr. Fusu have the heart to increase the burden on those Guizhou heads?

Yan Le immediately jumped out and said: "Mr. Fusu, yesterday you said that what Shangqing Mengyi and Prime Minister Li Si said were very reasonable, why did they change their mind after one night?"

Fusu ignored Yan Le, and said: "I will report to my father, after my son went back yesterday, after thinking about it, he felt that it is not feasible to build a new palace."

"My son thinks that building a new palace is worse than building a new capital city."

Everyone in the court looked at Young Master Fusu in astonishment, including Ying Zheng at this time.Fusu's words were really shocking and endless.

Fusu looked at the surprised courtiers, but thought in his heart: What's the point of making small troubles?If it comes, it will come with a big deal.

Meng Yi suddenly remembered Fusu's instructions to him yesterday, and asked him to stand up and support him at the right time, but how could he support Fusu's words?

As soon as I rejected the plan to build a new palace, I expressed support for Fusu's proposal. What does His Majesty think?
Li Si stared at Fusu intently with a pair of old eyes, trying to see something from Fusu, but after watching for a long time, he couldn't figure out what Fusu's plan was.

But no matter what Fusuda's calculations are, this resolution must not be passed.

Li Si hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that building a new capital is absolutely impossible."

As the prime minister of Great Qin, Li Si would sometimes accommodate the first emperor, but Li Si was very clear about some matters related to the fundamentals of the country.

Li Si knew exactly how much surplus food there was in the treasury.With the construction of the new palace and the confiscation of properties caused by Fusu's two major cases, the treasury can still be maintained.

But if a new capital city is built, the national treasury will be unable to make ends meet in an instant.Once something happened and the treasury was asked to get money, Li Si couldn't imagine the situation where the treasury couldn't get the money.

For the former, Li Si can still follow the emperor's temper, but for the latter, he absolutely cannot.

After Yingzheng was surprised, he said, "Fusu, above the court, you won't be allowed to talk nonsense."

However, Ying Zheng felt very comfortable with Fusu's proposal.

Ever since he wiped out the six kingdoms, Yingzheng has regarded himself as the No.In Yingzheng's view, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors should also worship at their feet, and future generations should be amazed by their achievements for thousands of years. Therefore, from beginning to end, Yingzheng either did not do it, or he would be the No. 1 in this world.

To build a new capital, Yingzheng knew it was not feasible when he came back to his senses. Not only Li Si knew how much surplus food was in the treasury, but Yingzheng also knew.

Yingzheng's IQ is negative when it comes to immortality and immortality, but Yingzheng's shrewdness is no less than anyone else's when it comes to handling these state affairs. If others want to fool him, they are probably not awake yet.

That is to say, if Fusu said such words, Yingzheng could still listen to him. If it were someone else, Yingzheng would have asked the guards outside the door to pull him out.

Fusu immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Reporting to the emperor, I didn't just talk about it. Yesterday, I went back to read the "Book of Shang Jun", recalled some past events of my ancestor Xiaogong, and got some inspiration, so I just went to the court today. put forward this policy.”

Hearing what Fusu said, Yingzheng's face softened a little, at least Fusu is no longer the former Fusu who only knew benevolence and righteousness, isn't he?If you can read the "Book of Shang Jun" from time to time, you should also know that it is not feasible to rely on benevolence and righteousness to govern the country.

Li Si stood on one side and asked, "Master Fusu, what kind of inspiration did you get in the "Book of Shang Jun"?"

Fusu didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "May I ask, Prime Minister, when did Xianyang become the capital of my Great Qin Dynasty? How many years has it been since?"

Li Si was a little confused by the question of Fusu suddenly getting up, and didn't know what Fusu planned to do next.But still bit the bullet and replied: "The construction of Xianyang City began in the 12th year of Xiaogong, and the capital was moved here from Liyang in the 13th year. It has been more than a hundred years ago."

"Prime Minister, do you know why Duke Xiao built a new capital Xianyang more than a hundred years ago?"

"I don't know, so please enlighten me, my lord." Li Si bowed.

Fusu also bowed and bowed, and said in return: "The boy has little talent and learning, and he dare not be taught. The prime minister is planning for state affairs, so he should have no free time. Pay attention to these details."

"Fu Su is ignorant, and privately speculates that there are five reasons why Xiaogong built the new capital Xianyang. If there are any mistakes, please correct me by my father and the courtiers." As he said, he bowed to Ying Zheng and the courtiers again.

Fusu's attitude won a lot of favor from Li Si.At least in this matter, Fusu was given to Li Si to go down the steps, and he didn't give advice as soon as he came up.
