After listening to the emperor, Yan Huisheng grasped his intention.
His benevolent father, the Emperor, had been supporting his two elder brothers over the years, and the silver in the Ministry of Revenue had been nearly depleted. He previously did not know about Su Rong and had no intention of going to war with Dawei, thus he freely expended money. The royal treasury kept bleeding funds either to the Marquis Nanping Residence or to the Pingxi General's Residence.
Now, knowing about Su Rong, and with the imperial edict brought by Ye Guixue from the Nanchu King, Daliang must prepare for war. This will require substantial military expenditures from the national treasury, catching him by surprise.
Unable to provide the silver, his benevolent father summoned him.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, "Father, what do you wish to speak with your son about?"
