Chapter 4757 sit back and watch the demise

This is a very young voice.

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

Dali Temple Shaoqing, Li Si!

As a Jinshi in the same class, Xu Tiangang was promoted the fastest due to the emperor's favor, while Li Si was able to climb to where he is today entirely due to his own strength.

Li Si gained recognition from the Legalist heritage, developed the Dharma Eyes of Haechi, and was recommended by the Legalist masters to rise to prominence.

He is the leader of the Mainland Party. He stood up at this moment and immediately refuted Xu Tiangang's words tit for tat.

Xu Tiangang's expression did not change and he said calmly: "The national treasury is empty, where can we find the extra supplies?"

After a long period of war, Dayu's treasury was already empty.

At the beginning of the war between the two dynasties, Dayu spent almost all of his wealth in Hulao Pass. Now that Hulao Pass was breached, Dayu's treasury immediately seemed a little stretched.

Huge military spending has made the Ministry of Household Affairs miserable. Prices in the Imperial Capital have increased tenfold, and some medicinal materials have even become unavailable.

Li Si had already prepared: "It is true that the national treasury is empty, but the four continents near the Imperial Capital have full treasury. As long as they are transferred out, they can definitely maintain the daily consumption of the army."

The Four Continents refer to the four continents distributed around the Imperial Capital. They have a vast territory and abundant resources, and the materials in them are enough to support the Qianlong Army's attack.

Xu Tiangang snorted coldly: "That is the lifeblood of our family. It must not be taken out unless absolutely necessary."

Li Si took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Our soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the front. The imperial court neither sends troops to support nor provides material assistance. Are we going to let us watch our soldiers sacrifice in vain!"

"They are the local army. Since they plan to send troops, they must prepare themselves! Everything depends on the court, so what do they do if they are left alone!" Xu Tiangang said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt extremely chilled.

Officials and soldiers from various places came to help the imperial capital, but the imperial court treated them like this.

Although many officials here are not from the local army, they still feel sad and feel that the court's actions are indeed excessive.

"Sir Xu, do you want to sit back and watch the frontline 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? Do I have to report to you any decisions I have made? Just take care of your Dali Temple. The overall situation of the imperial court is not for a scholar like you.

Something that can be easily discussed.”

Li Si was not overwhelmed by Xu Tiangang's momentum. Instead, he turned his head and said, "Master Chief Assistant, what do you think?"

Yang Shouyi, then the chief minister of the cabinet, had gray beard and gray hair.

Yang Shouyi was a former minister of the previous dynasty, and he was able to take the position of chief minister solely because of his rich experience and seniority.

The court meeting was already in full swing, but the chief minister never said a word.

His pale eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he cupped his hands towards Zhao Yuanyan and said, "Everything depends on the emperor."

Many of the military attachés present frowned. The chief assistant seemed to have no intention of participating in the dispute between them.

Zhao Yuanyan sat on the dragon throne, his eyes swept over everyone present, and then landed on Li Si.

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

This seemingly light sentence made many people present break into a cold sweat.

It is well known that there was a rift between the emperor and Lu Yu. Zhao Yuanyan talked about Lu Yu at this time, which contained deep meaning.
