Peerless Taoist

When the official walked out, everyone's eyes were focused on him.    

It was Shaoqing of the Court of Judicial Review, Li Si!    

As a scholar of the same batch of scholars, Xu Tiangang was promoted the fastest due to the emperor's favor, and Li Si was able to climb to his current position purely because of his own strength.    

Li Si had obtained the recognition of the Legatees and had cultivated the Magic Eye of the Haechi. After being recommended by the Legatees, he had made a meteoric rise.    

He was also the leader of the Lu party. At this moment, he stood out and immediately opposed Xu Tiangang's words with equal harshness.    

Xu Tiangang's face did not change. He said lightly, "The national treasury is empty. Where can we find any extra resources?"    

After a long period of war, Great Yu's treasury had long been emptied.    

When the two dynasties had just begun the war, Great Yu had basically laid out all their belongings in Tiger Cage Pass. Now that Tiger Cage Pass had been broken, Great Yu's national treasury immediately seemed to be somewhat stretched.    

The enormous military expenditure had made the Ministry of Revenue miserable. The price of goods in Imperial Capital had risen by more than ten times, and some medicinal herbs even showed signs of being priceless.    

Li Si had long been prepared for this. "It's true that the National Treasury is empty, but the four continents near the Imperial Capital are filled to the brim. As long as they are transferred out, they will definitely be able to maintain the daily consumption of the army. "    

The four continents were the four continents scattered around the Imperial Capital. The land was vast, and the resources inside were enough to support the attack of the Qianlong Army.    

Xu Tiangang snorted coldly. "That is the lifeline of our dynasty's resources. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we can't take it out."    

Li Si took a step forward and shouted loudly, "Our soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front of us. The imperial court doesn't send troops to assist us, nor do they provide us with resources. Are we just going to watch our soldiers die in vain?"    

"They are the local army. Since they intend to send troops, they must prepare themselves! We will rely on the Imperial Court for everything. Why should we keep them? " Xu Tiangang said coldly.    

As soon as he said that, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.    

The various officials and armies had come to assist the Imperial Capital, but the Imperial Court had treated them in such a way.    

Although many of the officials here were not from the local army, they felt that the Imperial Court's actions were indeed a little overboard.    

"Lord Xu, are you going to sit by and watch the frontlines be defeated?" Li Si said loudly.    

Xu Tiangang's eyes turned cold and he shouted loudly, "Li Si, do you have the right to speak here? What decision do I have? Do I have to report this to you? Just take care of your Court of Judicial Review. It's not something a scholar like you can easily discuss."    

Li Si was not overwhelmed by Xu Tiangang's imposing manner. Instead, he turned his head and said, "Lord Prime Minister, what do you think?"    

Yang Shouyi, who was now the Prime Minister, had white hair and a head full of white hair.    

Yang Shouyi was an old official of the previous dynasty. The reason he was able to take the position of Prime Minister was entirely due to his rich experience and deep experience.    

The court assembly was already in an uproar, but the Grand Secretary did not say a word.    

His pale eyebrows twitched slightly and then he cupped his hands towards Zhao Yuanyan and said, "Listen to the Emperor."    

Many of the military officials present frowned. It seemed that this first assistant did not have any intention of participating in the dispute between them.    

Zhao Yuan Yan sat on the dragon throne and his gaze swept across everyone present before landing on Li Si.    

"Li Si, I heard that you came from the Jade Cauldron Academy. You have a close relationship with Lu Yu." Zhao Yuan Yan said with a smile.    

This seemingly light sentence caused many of the people present to break out in cold sweat.    

It was common knowledge that there was a gap between the Emperor and Lu Yu. When Zhao Yuanyan talked about Lu Yu at this moment, there was a deeper meaning behind it.
