After taking a few sips of tea to calm down, I finally felt much better.
Xia Ruqing couldn't help but ask.
"Emperor, what were you thinking just now?"
Zhao Junyao hesitated for a moment, then told her exactly what was on his mind.

The biggest fish would fatten up rapidly.

She couldn't think of anything besides a rebellion that would require such enormous amounts of silver.
"So... are there people planning to rebel?!"
Zhao Junyao's eyes were sharp.
"You and I are thinking the same thing!"
