Chapter 42: Eating enough food for the people is the greatest kindness!

"Send them down to reunite with their ancestors?"

"A dragon that plays and sings?"

"Instead of a coffin, use a straw mat?"

After hearing these words, a hissing sound was heard in the Qilin Hall.

Everyone gasped, their eyes filled with shock, the look they gave Ying Yuan changed so quickly that even they themselves almost couldn't react!

What kind of "benevolence" is this? This is a real "killer"!
So filial!

Didn’t you say you wanted to be filial? I’ll give you filial piety! The whole room is filled with laughter!
If you miss your ancestors, just go and meet them. It's too troublesome to go through the graves. Just send them down to see them directly!

At this moment, even the generals who had killed countless people on the battlefield were full of admiration for Ying Yuan!

"This is our Qin people's son!"

Scarred general Zhang Yunlong sighed and wholeheartedly agreed with Ying Yuan's proposal.

There's nothing else to say, I just like the straightforwardness of this young master Yuan.

Since you, the nobles of the old six kingdoms, have the nerve to say this, then we, the old Qin, cannot refuse your honor, right?

I'll give you double the amount, no need to be grateful!

"Ah this."

Fusu was completely confused and felt his head was a little hot.

How come Sixth Brother's behavior is very similar to the saying 'Now that we are here, we should make the best of it'?

Could it be that Sixth Brother is the real inheritor of Confucius' thoughts?
"You, Master Yuan, what on earth are you talking about!"

Chunyu Yue was so angry that his face turned red, and his voice even broke when he spoke!

Kill him? Send him down to reunite with his ancestors?
You even call it "fulfilling filial piety"!
Is there anyone in this world as shameless as Gongzi Yuan?

Is there still justice in the world? Is there still law in the world?
"Ah? Is Dr. Chunyu already so old? You can't even hear me clearly when I say something?"

"Why don't you go home and have a rest, you old man?"

“When someone repeats a sentence twice, you may not feel tired listening to it, but it will be tiring for others to speak.”

Ying Yuan did not have a good face towards Chunyu Yue.

People like this are only thinking about what kind of bullshit enfeoffment!

The division of a unified country, isn't this a pure betrayal to one's own father?
"Hahahaha!"

As these words were spoken, laughter rang out.

Before, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction with Gongzi Yuan explicitly, after all, he was also the prince of the current dynasty.

But they would not be polite to a guy like Chunyu Yue who was annoying in normal times.

Instead, Wang Jian's mouth twitched, as if someone had slapped him in the face, but not really.

The term 'old man' seems to be too broad.

"Young Master, kill them all, it seems..."

Li Si frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak.

He wanted to stop these people from returning to their homeland, but killing them all would likely cause public outrage.

Unexpectedly, Ying Yuan smiled slightly, turned around and saluted the First Emperor, and said, "Father, what I just said was not a momentary impulsive speech, but was the result of careful consideration."

"In the past, my Great Qin army conquered the world, but other countries not only refused to surrender, but also dared to resist and launch a counterattack against my Great Qin. This is a way to death."

"Now that they have lived for so many more years, it is already a mercy of our Great Qin."

"now what?"

"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant, and a good heart is fed to a dog. A bunch of fleas and grasshoppers have emerged. My father and the high-ranking officials in the court have all seen it."

"We've been so good to them, but they still want to go back to their homeland. What does this mean? They think we're not good to them!" "People who don't recognize us have the means to die, so why should we stay?"

"The seeds of disaster are beginning to appear, and they may be plotting treason. This is their sin!"

"I think that if they are killed, then they are killed. As for the people's indignation, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than someone deliberately guiding them in secret. Most of the people, let alone being able to name all the nobles in their homeland, even the local county magistrates who govern them may not know them clearly!"

At this point, Ying Yuan paused for a moment, with a hint of emotion in his eyes: "The people of our Shenzhou land are the best people in the world."

"As long as they can have enough food and clothes, as long as they can survive, they will not think of resisting, and they will even accept oppression."

“This is for the good of the people.”

"As for the so-called display of benevolence, I think it is not by releasing the nobles of the old six kingdoms to return to their homeland to worship their ancestors, but by being good to the people."

"As long as they can have enough food, our Great Qin will be governed by virtue!"

"In that case, what difference does it make whether they kill or not?"

After this long speech, everyone felt their scalp tingling!

At this moment, they all had the same thought in their minds: This Young Master Yuan is so powerful!

First, he listed the ways in which the nobles of the six old kingdoms had sought death, and then he directly explained what everyone was worried about: the fear of rebellion.

Finally, the theme of the whole speech is elevated to the point that as long as the people have enough to eat, the country is governed with benevolence.

This kind of ideological awareness is totally not that of a court official. Instead, it is like a talented person who has already had his own unique thoughts on how to govern the country!

Although it sounds a bit idealistic, the way to govern a country is to move upward and find the middle ground.

this is correct!
Even old foxes like Li Si and Feng Quji could not help but express their admiration for what Ying Yuan had just said.

It is rare for a young man to be decisive in killing and yet always think about loving the people!
"Your Majesty, I agree with Master Yuan's opinion!"

At this moment, an old voice sounded.

It was the Qin Dynasty's God of War, Wang Jian.

As soon as the old general opened his mouth, everyone seemed to have taken a reassurance pill.

It not only expresses a position, but also provides a guarantee.

The underlying meaning of this support is: even if a rebellion breaks out, this old minister will go and suppress it!

With such a stabilizing force, why should the Qin Dynasty worry?

"Your Majesty, I agree with what Prince Yuan is thinking! The nobles of the old six kingdoms should be killed!"

Li Si spoke loudly.

A murderous look suddenly appeared on his originally calm face!
The old fox in the court also has fangs.

"Old minister seconded the proposal!"

Feng Quji also spoke,

The two prime ministers and one general all agreed.

"I second the proposal!"

"Mr. Yuan is absolutely right!"

"."

In an instant, there was a chorus of seconding voices in the court.

On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor fixed his eyes on Ying Yuan and said calmly, "Yes."

"Yuan'er, I'll leave this matter to you!"

One sentence determined the life and death of these nobles of the old six kingdoms!
Everyone looked at Ying Yuan with extremely complicated expressions in their eyes!
Leave it to Gongzi Yuan. Your Majesty trusts you so much!
It seems that the Sixth Young Master has a bright future in the court!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ying Yuan spoke loudly: "Father, I want something else, please grant it to me as well!"
