Chapter 960 - 960 Domineering

?Chapter 960: Domineering Chapter 960: Domineering Editor: Atlas Studios Perhaps it was because Qi Xiuyuan was too agitated or because of the two large boxes filled with IOUs left in the hall, the courtiers became unprecedentedly nervous, affecting the citizens in the capital.

Now, all the citizens in the capital knew that the Emperor was short of money.

Great Qi had inherited the open speech policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As scholars, they enjoyed great freedom of speech.

It was unknown who had bewitched them, but the students in the capital began to talk about the issue of reducing the number of troops.

So much so, it affected the imperial censors in the imperial court and made them petition the Imperial Court to reduce military expenditure and reduce the number of soldiers.

As only a few people had mentioned it, it hadn’t affected the overall situation.

Hence, Qi Xiuyuan hadn’t taken it to heart at first and only rejected their memorials.

Who knew that within two days, the Emperor would resort to this to protect Prince Rong?

The war-loving Prince Rong had been unwilling to reduce the number of troops, and the Emperor had suppressed the memorials because he was afraid that Prince Rong would be provoked and go against the courtiers.

They argued that Prince Rong’s military achievements were paid for with the lives of countless soldiers and the silver in the national treasury.

These comments became more and more widely spread in the past two days.
