The paper couldn't hold the fire, and the private treasury of the Chu State disappeared, and soon spread throughout the Central Plains.

When Yingzheng, Mrs. Huayang and others returned to Xianyang, many royal families went to inquire that the Mi family could not manage the private treasury.

Mrs. Huayang didn't give any words, and directly closed the door to thank the guests, and Huayang Palace didn't see anyone.

Ying Zheng clearly told everyone that the private treasury was not lost, and was taken to Lanling by the Empress Dowager Yingran. Where the private treasury goes, the worshippers should know best, the royal family should not ask, if you want to ask, please let the worshippers ask him.

With that, the royal family was silent. Ying Zheng said very seriously, and directly carried out the offerings, and the meaning of the words was very clear, since the offerings can't protect the private treasury, what use do you want?

The reason why Yingzheng dared to say such a thing was that he was also confident. The offerings of the Qin State all live in the Qin Palace, and the entire Yiling Hall belongs to the territory of the worshippers, Yingzheng can even be grounded in the Yiling Palace, what do the worshippers of the countries think, he has no interest in paying attention.

This leads to a problem, the ministers of the Qin State centered on Ying Zheng will not use offerings in the future. I haven't used it before, and I won't necessarily use it in the future. Then in the future, the life of the worshippers, the Qin State will not give the corresponding money, and it is completely up to the royal families to provide for themselves.

In this way, the worshippers of the Three Jin Dynasty could not sit still. Zhao Guofeng first found Yingzheng and asked him why he did this?

Ying Zheng said frankly: "There is a famine in the Zhao State, the treasury is empty, and the Qin State has no money, how can I support you?" Now that Shouchun is short of food, not only did the Chu State worship not give any assistance, but also ran to the south of the Yangtze River. I also want to give you money, but you have taken all the private treasury away, what shall I use to support you? ”

Zhao Guo said angrily: "The private treasury of Chu State is not in our hands, and the specific location of the hidden treasure is only known to Ying Ran, how can it be blamed on our heads?" ”

Ying Zheng spread his hands, with a helpless expression, and said: "Then you should look for Ying Ran, not this king, whoever robbed you, you should go and grab it back." ”

Zhao Guofeng said helplessly: "The private treasury has always been under the control of the Mi clan, God knows that Ying Ran dared to intervene sideways and stole the private treasury." There is news from the Chu State, and those old friends of mine are also investigating, but Ying Ran just doesn't say it, we can't kill her, she is the Queen Mother of Chu after all. ”

Ying Zheng said: "She used to be the queen mother, but now she is not." It is an indisputable fact that Shouchun has surrendered, and Great Qin has annexed the state of Chu. Changping Jun was proclaimed king in Lanling, and neither the two clans would recognize it, let alone write it into the law. ”

"Ying Ran went out of the palace without permission, and teamed up with Changping Jun to establish the country privately, which has broken the rules of the ancestors, and the royal family will not admit it. In other words, Changping Jun and Ying Ran have become commoners, and their royal status has been stripped from the genealogy. ”

Zhao Guofeng couldn't calm down anymore, and said angrily: "Ying Rangui is the queen mother, who dares to deprive her of her identity without authorization?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "The things that the Ying clan patriarch Shang Gong, the Qi clan patriarch Mrs. Huayang, and the elders of the two clans jointly determine can become a fact. Worship, do you also want to meddle in the internal affairs of our royal family? This did not affect the interests of the royal family of the Zhao State, the worshippers of the Chu State are not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry? ”

Zhao Guofeng said angrily: "The nations are enshrined, and we will not act with the will of the king of a certain country, we represent the interests of all the royal families in the Central Plains." ”

Ying Zheng said: "Then you should find some royal people to talk to me, the royal family of the Three Jin Dynasty, the Yan Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and the Chu Kingdom to talk to me." If they also agree with Ying Ran's status, this king will naturally not say much. ”

Zhao Guofeng said helplessly: "King Qin, have you planned it a long time ago, how dare those people disobey you?" The Three Jin royal families are all headed by you, and they will do whatever you say, and they will not listen to other people's opinions. The royal family of the Yan Kingdom? Yan Wangxi is too afraid of you, if he dares not to listen, the Qin State will have an excuse to attack the Yan State. The royal family of the Qi Kingdom? You and the King of Qi are doing business, even if he is willing to listen to us, the magnates of the Qi Kingdom will not listen. Double the price to buy grain, this benefit is too great. ”

Ying Zheng sighed and said: "The benefits are very big, I don't know how to find someone to borrow money now, and where can I provide it to many worshippers." Mr. Zhao, I don't know if you have the ability to lend me some money temporarily, and this king promises that it will be repaid within three years. ”

Zhao Guo's worship smiled angrily, and he came to him to recover the offerings, but he also came to borrow money from himself, and he was so shameless that he could be so shameless, which was an eye-opener.

Looking at Zhao Guo's expression, Ying Zheng said worriedly: "The worshippers don't want to borrow, so I can only borrow it from others." This king Chrysostom has always said that since the worshippers don't give me face, how can I lose my face again. Go back, old gentleman, anyway, you all have your own family support, and many powerful people have you behind them, and I can't touch those families. ”

"You won't starve to death, but you lack some money and food to enjoy, but there is a serious shortage of food in Shouchun, and millions of people can't survive the winter. If I don't think about it, those people will starve to death. In response to the old saying, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. There was a famine in Zhao State, I didn't let the Zhao people starve to death, Chu State lacked food, and I won't let the Chu people starve to death, this is the bottom line of this king. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guofeng was a little moved, and asked, "Is it really impossible to provide money and food?" ”

Ying Zheng said frankly: "I have thought of all the ways I can think of, the private treasury of Great Qin and Sanjin cannot be moved, and those must be used to resist the Xiongnu." The private treasury of the State of Chu was stolen by Ying Ran, affecting all aspects, where can I provide you with more money? ”

Zhao Guo said: "The worshippers don't want much, only take a fraction of it from the private treasury, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation." ”

Ying Zheng patted the table and said, "A fraction of a little is less? In order to extract the amount of grain purchased from the private treasury, my father-in-law, Master Mi Chen, was in a hurry, and he was in a lot of account books all day long, and he had no intention of dealing with other things at all. Offerings, this king is really difficult, I want to reduce their pressure, so I can only cancel the offerings. When we get through this difficulty, it's not too late to give the offerings a good fortune. ”

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Guofeng sighed and said, "If it were just me, I would definitely do what King Qin said." But this matter involves the interests of all the worshippers, and if the king of Qin does it, the kings of the countries will follow suit. ”

"The worshippers are all pinnacle and top powerhouses, we all want to be promoted to the saint-level realm again, and if we want to improve, we need a lot of training supplies, which need to be supported by money and food. If King Qin really decides to do this, I will only tell you one thing, in the future disputes with foreign races, the worshippers will not listen to your orders, and it is entirely up to you. ”

Ying Zheng stood up abruptly and said sharply: "Do you really want to do so much? This king just doesn't give me money for a short time, won't he give me this time? ”

Zhao Guo said: "It's still the same sentence, I personally support it, but the entire worship group can't agree." That's all I have to say, please reconsider King Qin. ”

Valuing the back of Zhao Guo's worship and departure, Ying Zheng deeply knew that from this moment on, he had lost the support of the worshippers. Many plans in the heart have to be rearranged, so that there will not be any preparation at all.

Correspondingly, many strong people around Yingzheng left him one after another, including Anru and Lilac. These Ying Zheng didn't say much, Anru and Lilac were the people of the Yiling Hall after all, and the entire worship group did not support him, so the Yiling Hall would not dare to go against everyone's will, unless Ying Zheng walked into the gate of the Yiling Hall and went to ask Ying Ai for someone.

But how could Yingzheng go there? At this time, he can't bow his head. It's a game between kings and worship, and it's up to them to see who can overpower whom. Yingzheng's resoluteness annoyed all the offerings, and he had to give him a look at them in order to show the importance of the offerings.

From this day on, Ying Zheng spread favors and looked for people to borrow money everywhere. The powerful people in the court, led by Li Si, and many powerful people such as Wei Yu, the Meng family, and the Wang family, all surrendered to themselves, and all the ministers joined hands to raise money and grain from their private property, but it was still not enough to buy food for the winter.

Ying Ai of the Yiling Hall smiled bitterly: "Mother-in-law, the prince's brother is sad now, I can definitely give those money and food in the Yiling Palace." ”

Granny Mo shook her head and said, "Little master, you have to remember that you are the master of the Yiling Palace, representing the entire worship group. Individual selfishness can be there, but it cannot affect the whole group. We can't give the king any support, or those old guys will find it difficult for us. ”

"You must know that there are several among the nations of Qin like me. If we tear our faces with them, the Yiling Hall is likely to be destroyed unless you can reach the Saint Level. Without strength, it is empty to say anything. There are no winners in this game. Unless the king is willing to come to the Yiling Hall and marry all the family away, then I can turn a blind eye and give a lot of dowry, and there will be no gossip about other offerings. ”

Ying Ai couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "If the prince's brother wanted to come to the Yiling Palace, he would have come a long time ago." Especially at this time, it is even more unlikely to come. It's a pity that my strength is not enough, if I have the ability to suppress all the offerings, how dare those old guys show the prince's brother a face. If we have less money, we won't die, but if there is no food in Shouchun, many people will really die. ”

Ying Ai and Granny Mo have no choice, they can't influence the will of the worshippers. For the worshippers, whoever has the big fist will have more right to speak. There was only one Granny Mo in the Qin Palace, and she didn't dare to disobey the voice of the entire group at all.

The people of Xianyang are all anxious for Ying Zheng, and they have borrowed everything they can, but it is still not enough to buy grain. If a powerful person goes bankrupt and borrows money, then it will affect the efficiency of work, and the national strength will be dragged down by Shouchun. Everyone saw this, and Ying Zheng naturally understood it.

Wang Jian used an army of 600,000 to attack Chu, and there was not much grain left in the entire Qin State, where could such a large amount be raised. If there is no private treasury of the Qin Palace, the prices in Xianyang City will definitely skyrocket, which will affect the livelihood of ordinary people. Even so, the price of grain has risen rapidly, and even those who are pressed cannot raise their heads.

Fortunately, Bashu transported a lot of grain and hoarded it in the various grain depots of Xianyang merchants, otherwise Yingzheng would have had even more headaches. These grains, Mrs. Ba also specially asked Jimo Qingyi to tell them that they could not be transported to Shouchun, and that they should stay in Xianyang to stabilize prices, otherwise Daqin's national strength would be dragged down.

Of course Yingzheng knows this truth, with this batch of grain, Xianyang is sure that he can spend this winter in peace, but Shouchun is there, how to survive the winter? Seeing that it is going to be late autumn, and early winter is not far away, if you can't borrow money to buy food, you won't be able to survive there.

It was also at this time that a voice spread to the nations, completely solving the worries of Yingzheng.
