Chapter 93 I Want to See

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor paused for a moment before continuing walking forward.

"Qian Shou?"

"No matter what ambitions you have in your heart, shouldn't you pay attention to civil officials, military generals, and wealthy families?"

"Why do you care about those people?"

Ying Yuan was not surprised that his father thought so.

In other words, this is the current mainstream thinking.

Those common people don’t even think that there is anything important about themselves, let alone others.

But... other people's opinions will not affect Ying Yuan.

Because he has the confidence to surpass others only in his knowledge and vision.

He smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Father, you are thinking wrongly about this matter!"

"Not only are you thinking wrong, everyone is thinking wrong!"

"If I were just an ordinary young man, I wouldn't care about court officials, nobles, or common people."

"But you, my father, tricked me into becoming the regent."

"Since I am sitting in this position, I must be responsible for the present and future of Daqin!"

Although Ying Yuan had a bitter smile on his face, the words he said seemed to be complaining.

But the First Emperor could hear helplessness and self-mockery mixed with determination.

He looked at Ying Yuan in surprise.

"I never thought you would think this way!"

Ying Yuan turned his head to look at the First Emperor, and seeing that the other party seemed to be really interested in the question, he spoke casually.

"Father, think about it. If you, as the pillar of our family, find that everyone in our family is almost starving to death."

"At this time, someone suddenly pulls you to do a business that may cost you your life, but as long as you succeed you will have enough food and clothes to eat, will you do it?"

The First Emperor did not think that the question was joking and ignored it. Instead, he pondered seriously for a moment and then spoke in a deep voice.

"I will definitely give it a try!"

"As for whether to be beheaded or not, since we are going to die anyway, why not give it a try?"

Ying Yuan nodded: "Yes!"

"In fact, this is the choice of all the common people!"

"Since life is getting harder, why not give it a try?"

"We're almost starving to death anyway, so why not kill officials, steal food, and rebel?"

"Ok?"

When he heard the word "killing officials", the First Emperor's eyes narrowed, his whole demeanor changed abruptly, and he suddenly turned around and looked directly at Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan spread his hands and said, "Father, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Of course, this hasn't happened yet, but if the current situation doesn't change, it will definitely happen in the future!"

The First Emperor's brows were almost squeezed into a "川" shape.

"Why are you so sure?"

Ying Yuan clapped his hands and replied with a smile: "The answer lies in the question I asked my father before!"

"There are so many factions in the court. Now eight out of ten are for me, and two out of ten are for the efforts of the Qin Dynasty. I won't talk about it."

"The most important thing is that there are no civil officials in the current Qin Dynasty who are fully responsible for government affairs and are familiar with the sufferings of the people."

"Even the only Prime Minister Li who came from a poor family has been a high-ranking official for many years and has forgotten what ordinary people are like."

"But Xiao He, Cao Shen and others are different!"

"Before I recruited them and used them, they were real civilians!"

"They understand the suffering of the people and have the talent to assist the king. They are the ones I have prepared for the reform of the Qin Dynasty!"

The First Emperor's mouth opened in surprise.

"Is it really that serious?"

Hearing this question, Ying Yuan couldn't laugh anymore.

"Really!"

"It's even worse than you think, Father!" "At least from what I know, the people in many places have a hard time just getting by, let alone having enough food to eat."

"Then it is like a fire boiling oil and flowers blooming!"

"It looks lively on the surface, but in fact, if a larger spark falls there, it will be a raging fire shooting up into the sky!"

"I can't supervise a country and end up destroying our Great Qin!"

After hearing the nonsense from his sixth son, the First Emperor angrily slapped Ying Yuan on the back of the head.

"You idiot, what are you saying?"

Ying Yuan touched the back of his head and chuckled twice, but he didn't find it strange.

He has been beaten like this more than once since he was a child, and he has long been used to it.

However, the issues that need to be addressed still need to be addressed.

"Of course, this is just my concern and preparation for the future."

"In fact, I not only found Xiao He and others, but also arranged a lot of things for you, brother."

"Those things are beneficial to the national strength of our Great Qin!"

"Even the matter of the Royal Guards was prepared for this!"

Ying Yuan's words were very rude.

He is really like taking chicken feathers as a token of authority. He is obviously just a prince regent, but he acts like an emperor who can make decisions with a single word.

There was naturally no need for the First Emperor to be polite to his own son.

"Jinyiwei?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it!"

"Looking at your arrangement of the Jinyi Guards, don't you think they overlap with the Black Dragon Guards?"

"Why do you want to set up a separate Jinyiwei?"

"Just because you can control the Jinyiwei?"

"Or do you disagree with the Black Dragon Guard's method of sending spies to conduct surveillance in secret?"

Ying Yuan shook his head very frankly.

"I have never disliked the Black Dragon Guards!"

"It is necessary to monitor the world!"

"But... there are not enough Black Dragon Guards!"

"My Jinyiwei seems to be in the open, and everyone is pointing fingers at the court meeting, but what is the reality?"

"The actual situation is that the establishment of the Jinyiwei in such an open and aboveboard manner has actually given a warning to the officials and nobles!"

"This Jinyiwei is prepared for them!"

"If you just stay calm and live a down-to-earth life!"

"But if there is anything that doesn't have a tool!"

"Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the Imperial Guards to confiscate your property and exterminate your clan!"

Ying Yuan laughed when he said this.

"This is called threats and intimidation!"

"It looks like a newly established government office. No one knows its strength."

"But as long as the Jinyiwei is here, who would dare to engage in corruption and bribery as unscrupulously as before?"

"Everyone says that you, Father, are violent and bloodthirsty, but I, the Prince Regent, am actually not much better!"

"I have killed quite a few people during this period of time. Even now, the Royal Guards are still hunting down the remnants of the six kingdoms!"

Listening to Ying Yuan's explanation, the First Emperor nodded slightly as if thinking about something.

In fact, if Ying Yuan had not looked carefully, he might not have noticed that his father had just nodded.

Having said this, both father and son fell into silence.

After a long while, when the father and son were almost at the Zhangtai Palace, the First Emperor spoke quietly.

"You seem to be no worse than me!"

"Then you can try out your ideas in this position of regent!"

"I want to see it!"
