The Minister of Household Affairs knelt down and said in fear: "I did not question the Empress' ability. I made a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, Your Highness, and don't let the Empress handle me harshly!"
Captain Sikong said: "Lord Xiahou, I heard it all. You did question the empress' ability, so stop making excuses."
Hubu Shangshu is a member of the Xiahou family and Princess Mingyue. As the grandfather of Princess Anqi, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to overthrow Princess Mingyue. Hubu is a fat man, and he wants to replace him with Anqi.
Princess Qi’s people.
"Yes! We all heard it!"
Princess Anqi's people all said that they wanted to overthrow Xiahou Ji, the Minister of Household Affairs.
At this time, the Minister of War stood up and said: "Xiao Zhan, don't spit on others with your blood. Lord Xiahou has no intention of questioning the empress's ability, let alone refusing to report her ignorance. Beiyi is Beiyi, and Dazhou is Dazhou."
, Beiyi is based on nobles, and civilians are livestock. The court has no regard for how the civilians live, whether they are dead or alive, and there is no need to provide disaster relief to them. This is clearly stated in the imperial outline. You can use the system of Zhou Dynasty in Beiyi.
Why do you question a minister's ability?"
Hearing this, Mu Ruxue couldn't help but said: "You nobles are human beings, and civilians are human beings too! Although I don't know much about you Bei Yi, I also know that most of the soldiers in Bei Yi are born as civilians.
, they went into battle to kill the enemy, protect the Northern Yi, and protect your nobles, how could your nobles treat them like animals?"
The Minister of War asked: "You ride a horse, and the horse carries you around and you are exhausted. Is the horse a human being? Isn't it still an animal?"
"This is not a concept, okay!" Mu Ruxue said: "Commoners have the same hands, feet and head as you nobles, they also walk upright and speak human language, so how can we put civilians in the same category as cows, horses, pigs and dogs?
What kind of logic is this!”
The Minister of War also asked: "Then the Empress is also a human being, and we are also human beings. Why is the Empress so high above us? People are divided into three, six or nine levels. There are noble people and humble people. How can we generalize? If civilians are the same as us, then we
Can I be like the empress?"
Mu Ruxue: "..."
She didn't even know what to say!
Xiao Zhan was also angry and laughed, and asked: "My lord, I want to ask you, why can Da Zhou treat the people as human beings, but Northern Yi can't? Let Bei Yi be like Da Zhou, where the people have fields and can be independent.
Isn’t the root good? Why would you rather the food rot and the pastures be abandoned than give it to the common people? What good does this do to you? When you walk on the street every day, you see common people who are as shabby as beggars.
, don’t you think this affects the vision very much and the beauty of a city? Isn’t it good to let everyone wear good clothes and eat well, and be prosperous everywhere?”
"You don't understand this." The Minister of War said: "The people of the Zhou Dynasty are living a good life, but they are afraid of death when they have enough to eat and drink, and their fighting power is very poor. Our army of one million can defeat them 130 times.
One hundred thousand to one and a half million, and soldiers are recruited during wartime. Many people do not want to join the army, so it is difficult to recruit soldiers."
"On the other hand, it's different in Beiyi. Once the troops are insufficient, if you want to recruit as many soldiers as you want, you can recruit several times the number of soldiers in one day. You can recruit as many soldiers as you want."
"If you let sheep herd on pastures for civilians and they live a comfortable life, will they join the army and fight? Will they charge into battle and fight the enemy bravely for rewards, regardless of their lives?"
"Although the population of Dazhou is seven or eight times that of Beiyi, if we really want to fight, Beiyi will not lose to Dazhou!"
"This is our advantage, and it is also the reason why we would rather let the fish and meat rotten than give it to the people. Who will work hard when they are full?"
Xiao Zhan and Mu Ruxue finally understood why the civilians of Beiyi were so miserable.
He was used as a tool by the nobles!
Give me food when you need it, and care about your life and death when you don't.
He could only say that the Beiyi nobles were too cruel!
Simply outrageous!
"Then let me ask you, why is the Xiliang army so good at fighting? Compared with the Xiliang army, which one is stronger or weaker?" Xiao Zhan asked.
