Su Hu was able to give Ying Yuan 30 million taels of silver because of Daji's face.
After all, his daughter is the queen of the current dynasty.
When the country is in trouble, the emperor and the empress are bound to be to blame.
If the silver he donated could make Daji's life in the palace better.
That's enough.
Afterwards, Ying Yuan left enough space for Daji and Su Hu, father and daughter.
He himself left here temporarily under the pretext of handling government affairs.
Daji invited Su Hu to sit in the pavilion outside her bedroom.
The latter asked out of concern: "I wonder how the Queen has been doing in the palace these years?"
Hearing this, the former poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Father, it's just you and me here, so you should call me Daji."
Su Hu nodded, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Father used to think that you married a tyrant, but now it seems that I was wrong."
Daji laughed and said, "You really don't think highly of your daughter's vision?"
Su Hu said awkwardly: "That's not the case. It's really because of your Majesty's reputation..."
Daji said sternly, "Father, it's better not to talk about these things in the palace. Your Majesty has had it difficult in the past.
At that time, the court was controlled by the powerful ministers Cai Jing and Qin Hui, and there were also military generals who were eyeing the government covetously. What else could Your Majesty do except to discredit himself and hide his incompetence?
Fortunately, Your Majesty seized the opportunity and subdued Cai Jing, Qin Hui and others. Now all the important officials in the court are under Your Majesty's control.
The Great Qin Dynasty will surely become better and better under your Majesty's governance."
Su Hu asked curiously, "The Qin State is now struggling and precarious. Why, Your Majesty, is you still determined to wage war against the Chu army? Wouldn't it be better to just stop fighting for now?"
The small amount of annual tribute demanded by the State of Chu shouldn't be a big deal for the imperial court, right?"
Daji said, "The annual tribute is a small matter, but once it is paid, the backbone of our Great Qin will be broken."
"That's true."
Su Hu nodded and asked, "Is His Majesty ignoring you this year like he did in previous years?"
She never told her family about Daji's situation in the palace.
It was just that every year on the Empress Dowager’s birthday, Su Hu would come to Xianyang to learn some information.
Daji shook her head and said, "Please rest assured, father. Everything is fine in the palace. The relationship between your majesty and me is getting better day by day."
"That's good."
Su Hu felt a little relieved.
At this moment, Daji suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Su Hu, saying:
"The 30 million taels of silver donated by my father has solved His Majesty's urgent needs.
Your daughter thanks your father on behalf of His Majesty."
Hearing the sound, the latter quickly stood up, helped her up, and said with a wry smile: "Money is something outside of one's body. Why would you and I, father and daughter, come to this?"
Those thirty million taels are definitely not a small sum for the Su family.
The aftermath of the national disaster has not yet completely passed.
Not to mention the princes and ministers in the court, even the five major families had a hard time.
What’s more, it’s the Su family?
The fact that they could come up with 30 million taels was enough to prove that they had tried their best.
at this time.
Inside the Xianyang Palace.
Ying Yuan sat at a desk and said to Zhao Gao beside him, "The Su family easily came up with 30 million taels of silver. This really surprised me."
The latter bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Su family's silk business is spread all over the country, so it is reasonable for them to come up with so much silver.
The Su family is one thing, but above the Su family, there are five other aristocratic families. The wealth these families possess is truly astonishing.
I have heard that each of the five great families is as wealthy as a nation."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, Emperor Taizu relied on the help of these aristocratic families to seize the world."
Zhao Gao responded, “Since then, there have been rumors among the people that the aristocratic families have the final say on whether the Qin Dynasty will be in chaos or not.
And this aristocratic family refers to the five major families."
"Is the Great Qin in chaos..."
Ying Yuan murmured, and suddenly remembered something that could lead to the destruction of a country due to his incompetence.
How did the Sui Dynasty fall?
Part of the reason is because he offended the aristocratic families in the world.
After all, Emperor Yang of Sui was too impatient and wanted to curb the development of aristocratic families through means such as imperial examinations and canals.
So that there can be many noble children from poor families in the world.
As a result, the aristocratic families collectively rebelled.
The Sui Dynasty perished in the second generation.
There is no imperial examination system in the Qin Dynasty today.
He rose to power entirely through recommendations among the children of the nobility.
For example, Li Linfu is the representative of the Longxi Li family.
Even Cai Jing had the shadow of aristocratic families behind him.
If I created the imperial examination system, I would have taken the opportunity to suppress the military aristocracy and the aristocratic families.
Then, will they be very unwilling and rebel against me together?
Just like rebelling against Emperor Yang of Sui?
As long as I act quickly enough and don't take a slow approach to the aristocratic families like the Tang Dynasty did.
Directly follow the example of Emperor Yang of Sui and complete everything in a short period of time.
If this happens, the aristocratic families will definitely rebel!
The imperial examination is something you can keep in mind.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan's mood instantly improved.
Since the Qin Dynasty was founded by aristocratic families, and it is the aristocratic families that maintain its stability.
Then, let's cut off the source of the problem and directly target the aristocratic families.
By then, if the aristocratic families are in chaos, wouldn’t the Qin Dynasty also be in chaos?
I also followed the example of Emperor Yang of Sui and built a Grand Canal.
