My subjects are too rebellious!

"Your Majesty, the Wala are very ambitious and we must be on guard against them."

"The treasury has no money."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely defeat the enemy this time,"

“The treasury has no money.”

"Your Majesty, within six months, or less than three months, I will definitely attack the heart of the Oirat Tatars."

"No money."

"He Shen! You are going too far!"

“No money means no money.”

Qin Chuan sat on the dragon throne, watching the two people arguing below.

No matter what Zhu Di said, Heshen always said: No money.

As expected of my baby, you can only be my money bag, as for others...

"In my opinion, we still have to fight against the Oirat and Tatar tribes."

Heshen wanted to speak immediately, but was stopped by Qin Chuan.

"If you don't have money, you can find a way. Military affairs are the most important thing."

When Zhu Di heard that the emperor was on his side, he immediately looked up arrogantly and looked at Heshen with contempt.

Heshen ignored him and just stared at His Majesty with dead fish eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are trying to kill me. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is really out of money."

"He Aiqing, please don't be anxious."

"General Zhengbei, how much silver will be needed for this northern expedition? Please tell me first so that I can have a rough idea."

After getting the emperor's permission, Zhu Di was not polite at all.

"Your Majesty, I don't ask for much. Three million taels of silver will be enough."

"What! Three million taels!"

"You might as well just go and rob it!"

Heshen got furious before Qin Chuan even opened his mouth.

He then stopped talking and just sat on the dragon throne watching Heshen go crazy.

"You know how much silver is left in the treasury, but you don't! You don't know at all."

"Conquering the Qing dynasty, pacifying the Wulingha and Duoyan tribes, providing relief to disaster victims, and building water conservancy projects, none of these require money."

"The national treasury is now an empty shell! Do you know that?"

Zhu Di ignored all that and still raised his head and said, "But we must fight Wala. If we miss this God-given opportunity, there will be no more in the future."

Heshen wanted to continue complaining, but Qin Chuan just waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Okay, you two have had enough of that."

"Enough of the fuss, let me say a few words."

Since Tianxia had spoken, the two naturally did not dare to raise any objections.

"Your Majesty, please."

"This war must be fought, and this money must be paid."

Seeing He Shen about to speak again, Qin Chuan hurriedly said, "My dear He Shen, please wait and listen to me."

"Of course I have to give you this money, but three million taels is really too much."

Zhu Di heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty, two million taels will do."

"It's still too much."

Qin Chuan frowned and pondered for a while, and finally said in a difficult tone: "How about this, I will give you one million taels."

"This money comes from my private treasury."

Hearing this, both of them were satisfied.

He would be happy as long as Heshen didn't have to pay.

Zhu Di also wanted to make a quick buck and run away recently, and it was a reasonable and legal request, so he was naturally happy.

"On behalf of the people of the border area, I would like to thank Your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

Qin Chuan waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, go down."

"He Aiqing, you also go and take out one million taels from my private treasury."

"The slave obeys the order!"

Only after the two men left did the Qianqing Palace finally become quiet.

Looking at the memorial at hand, Qin Chuan sighed, picked up the red pen and began to review it.

...

"General, is this possible?"

"It's done. Even though it's only one million taels, it's enough!"

Yao Guangxiao nodded: "We have saved a lot of money over the years, and with this one million, we can accomplish great things!"

Zhu Di was a little worried: "But, we are going to fight Mahamu this time, what will happen after the fight?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled, as if he had already come up with a plan.

"General, have you ever heard that a general may not obey orders from the army when he is away?"

"When our army reaches the grasslands, it will be like fish entering water, birds entering clouds, and beasts entering forests. We will no longer be bound by cages or nets."

"Besides, we only need to occupy the alien territory and then slowly make plans, and great things will be accomplished."

Zhu Di's eyes were focused, as if he was thinking about something.

"General, don't worry about the safety of the madam and the others. His Majesty will not kill them."

Yao Guangxiao could tell at a glance what Zhu Di was worried about and quickly comforted him.

"As long as we don't openly rebel and attack the border of Wu Dynasty, even if His Majesty knows our intentions, he will not kill your family."

"You should know that not only your family is in the capital, but also the families of those frontier officials are in the capital."

After a long time, Zhu Di seemed to have figured it out.

He slammed his fist on the table: "Count the people and horses, and you can set off!"

Yao Guangxiao naturally agreed with this proposal.

His heart had already flown to the grassland.

In fact, he didn't want to rebel, he just enjoyed the feeling.

Coincidentally, Zhu Di was an ambitious and capable man, and he believed that this was an opportunity given to him by God.

It is destined to be a great success and be remembered by future generations.

The Mansion of the General Who Conquers the South.

Cao Cao was drinking alone, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind him were smacking their lips in greed.

"Elai, Huchi, drink with me."

The two men could no longer hold back, but since their general did not give the order, they did not dare to take any action.

"I've been thirsty for a long time."

"Me too."

The two burly men looked at each other and laughed.

After three bowls of wine, the two men began to focus their attention on Cao Cao.

"General, you don't look very interested today."

"You don't understand this, right? Madam Sima went back to her parents' home today."

Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at the two idiots.

"You know, Zhu Di is planning a rebellion."

"What?" they both said in unison.

"General, what are you waiting for? Let's join us!"

“Yeah, I think that’s feasible.”

Cao Cao drank a sip of wine in a depressed mood and said with a disdainful tone: "Rebellion? Why rebellion?"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei had no answer to this question.

Yes, why do we need a certain opposition?

You two look at me and I look at you.

Stupidity was clearly revealed in the two pairs of wide-open eyes.

Looking at the looks of these two fools, Cao Cao finally grinned.

"Remember, you two, I, Cao Cao, may not be a talented person, but I am also a loyal minister and a good general."

"Moreover, His Majesty is definitely not the incompetent person that the rumors say he is. Just wait and see."

Cao Cao was in a bad mood today because he didn't know whether he should tell the emperor about Zhu Di's rebellion.

The original emperor was incompetent and did nothing.

Then he could betray him without any psychological pressure.

But when he truly understood the emperor and thought from his perspective, he discovered that the emperor was the true hero of the time.

Being able to endure for seventeen years and then strangle the enemy's lifeline when he explodes, this person is nothing but a hero.

It is because he now believes that Your Majesty is a wise and benevolent ruler that he is conflicted.

"General, if you want to do as I say, the emperor may not be unaware of Zhu Di's rebellion."

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard what Xu Chu said.

"You, a rough guy, will understand it?"

"General, you can't always look at people through the crack of the door."

"Then tell me, how do you know that the emperor knew Zhu Di was going to rebel?"

"It's very simple. If the emperor really didn't know, would he only let Heshen and Zhu Di stay?"

Cao Cao was stunned. Yes.

If the emperor really didn't know, he would definitely call several other generals along.

It would never be possible to arrange for only Heshen, the head of the Imperial Household Department, to meet with Zhu Di.

After understanding this principle, Cao Cao's worries immediately dissipated.

After drinking the wine in the bowl, Cao Cao realized something was wrong when he saw Xu Chu's smug look.

"Xu Chu, have I been too nice to you recently? You even lied to me."

"Tell me, who told you this? If you dare to lie to me again, I will forbid you from drinking for a month."

"what?"

Xu Chu originally wanted to insist that he had come up with it himself.

But after hearing the punishment, he immediately became timid.

"Mr. Guo told me this when he was drunk."

In a small room in the backyard of the general's mansion, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were toasting each other, looking very happy.

"Come on, let's go!"
