After some words.

He Shen was like a fish offshore, finally returning to the water.

Breathing heavily.

He raised his head hurriedly.

Think for a moment.

The whole room was staring at him.

This was when he took a deep breath and said loudly: "He climbed to the top. He was once just a small imperial guard. After studying for a few days, he participated in the imperial examination but failed. He is no better than you who have read the books of sages."

Talking.

He Shen suddenly changed his voice, raised his head and smiled bitterly: "You all know the sufferings of the people, and you all know the truth that the people have no means of living and no food to eat. But have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

A rhetorical question.

Everyone present bowed their heads and remained silent.

Before they could say anything else, Heshen continued to speak slowly in his low but contagious tone: "Have you ever seen a person who eats Guanyin soil and swells to death?"

Most people looked confused.

Because they had never even heard of the Guanyin soil that He Shen talked about.

"Have you ever seen the bark of all the trees in this thousand-mile plain being exploited and eaten away?"

After asking again, the scene became even more silent.

He Shen's tone was still sad, but the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth became more obvious: "Changing children and eating? Of course you have heard of it. But to you, it is probably just four words in the history books."

He Shen patted his chest, then pointed at himself and said word by word: "I have seen it with my own eyes. The so-called exchange of children for food..."

"My own child is just a pile of meat in someone else's pot!"

After this last sentence.

He Shen's aura even directly overwhelmed Yu Qian and others present.

They were originally very aggressive when facing He Shen.

At this moment, after He Shen said a few words, he silently lowered his head.

"You think He is only greedy for money, cares about human life, and ignores the people..."

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, He Shen sighed softly and couldn't help but say: "However, although He is greedy for money, he has never been greedy for disaster relief money and food. He is sorry for everyone, but he can only be worthy of these victims."

"Right now, this is the only way to keep the victims of the disaster in Jizhou alive..."

Still silent.

At this critical juncture.

In fact, most of the people present have been convinced by He Shen.

Because they know.

What He Shen said is indeed true.

at the moment.

What He Shen chose was almost the method with the least impact and the best way to stabilize the overall situation.

However.

If you know, you know.

I want them to really make up their mind to do this.

After all, it is still a bit difficult.

And at this time.

"His Majesty……"

"Everyone..."

"I think this method with your Excellency is the most appropriate method at the moment."

A sigh.

Almost everyone's eyes were turned towards it.

But it's only for a moment.

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically in an instant.

Because of the person who said this.

Not someone else.

It was Confucius, the most prestigious and respected saint in the world at this moment in the entire court.

But when listening to Confucius say these words.

Many people present showed a trace of confusion in their eyes.

It’s hard for everyone to imagine.

Confucius has always insisted on putting the people first and putting the people first.

"Master, you are a saint..."

You actually agree with He Shen's treacherous words?

Everyone looked at me with doubts or surprise.

Confucius himself just smiled softly: "Sage? Yes, everyone said that Confucius was a saint? But only Confucius himself knew that Confucius was not a saint. Saints sit high in the clouds, and Confucius himself just wanted to keep his feet on the ground.

"

Everyone was silent.

And at this time.

But Confucius still said word for word: "Confucius traveled around the world for so many years, experienced many things, and saw many things."

"It's true what you said, the victims don't need good food and clothing, they just want to survive. Survival is more important than anything else."

"As long as the imperial court is dedicated to serving the people, what it wants is not high-sounding words and righteous words. It wants to be down-to-earth and solve practical problems. Otherwise, no matter how good the face is, what will happen if Jizhou is left with bones by then?"

When I finished saying this.

Confucius squinted his eyes and slowly looked at Li Ye who was not far away: "Your Majesty, are you right?"

At this time.

Let alone Confucius.

Anyone who is truly discerning already knows this.

What He Shen said just now.

It was clearly under the instigation of Li Ye to put on a good show for them.

What we are doing is to implement this final plan.

in other words.

He Shen was pushed to the table by Li Ye and took the blame.

This.

This was also the reason why Li Ye wanted to save He Shen's life, and even continued to let him serve as the Minister of Household Affairs in Daxia.

Now.

Everyone looked deeply at He Shen Yiyan in front of them.

It seemed like it was the first time I met Li Ye.

Did Li Ye do the right thing or the wrong thing?

It’s no longer something they can evaluate.

Because they found out.

His Majesty seems to be different from other emperors in the world.

Other emperors want a holy name, face, and a high-sounding title.

And what Li Ye wants.

But it's just reality.

As long as it works.

No matter what method he uses, Li Ye doesn't seem to care.

Everyone was filled with emotions.

However.
To be continued...
