"Presumptuous, too presumptuous!" Prime Minister Wen scolded angrily.
In the imperial study, after reading the documents sent back by Zhu Yuankui, Prime Minister Wen looked indignant and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this Qin Yi is lawless. If he commits the following offenses, please punish him for his disobedience!"
The empress sat on the main seat, with not much expression on her beautiful face.
"Qin Yi's move is to prevent people from wandering up to the peak, and it is indeed the right thing to do!" Marquis Dingjun immediately retorted, "Our dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, and Zhu Shouwei's move is to trap our dynasty into injustice." p>
"No matter what, Qin Yi has committed a disobedient act, and he must not let it go, lest others follow suit!" Wen Xiang said firmly.
Finally found Qin Yi's handle, he couldn't let it go no matter what, he had to let the other party take off a layer of skin!
"Nonsense!" Hou Dingjun scolded, "Everything should be considered according to the circumstances. What Qin Yi did was an act of benevolence and righteousness. How can it be called disobedience?"
The empress ignored the two people arguing, looked at the Prime Minister and the Grand Master, and asked coldly, "Two beloved ministers, do you have any opinions?"
The Prime Minister Wu raised his hands and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, congratulations for what?
Congratulations to Your Majesty for pacifying the war in southern Xinjiang?
But it has been more than a day. Isn’t it too late to congratulate you now?
When everyone was confused, the empress raised her eyebrows slightly and asked coldly, "How do you say this?"
Prime Minister Wu solemnly said, "This dynasty is benevolent and righteous. It always ends wars with war and never kills in vain. Qin Yi's actions are in line with the foundation of our dynasty and reflect his character of benevolence, righteousness and commitment. For the sake of righteousness, he will not hesitate to risk his life."
In terms of wealth and life, Your Majesty is really lucky to have such a benevolent general!"
Marquis Ding Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Qin Yi is both civil and military, his strategy far exceeds that of his peers, and he has a righteous heart. It is really not easy. He should be reused, how can he be punished?"
The grand master pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, your majesty should learn from history, stay close to the benevolent and righteous people, and stay away from the treacherous and harsh people."
Even the highly respected Grand Master said this. Wen Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth. Even if he had something to say, he could only swallow it.
From the look on the empress's face, he could also tell that she was not displeased at all with what Qin Yi did.
In this way, even if he talks about dry mouth, it will have no effect.
The empress nodded her head gently and said, "The previous dynasty was tyrannical. Our great ancestor promoted benevolence and righteousness and defeated the unrighteous masters, thus establishing Linzhan. This is the foundation of the establishment of this dynasty and should be defended."
"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Qin Yi's actions," the empress said gently. "Since the barbarians have surrendered, they should not be killed in vain, lest they ruin our dynasty's reputation for benevolence and righteousness."
"And this Zhu Yuankui..."
Before the empress finished speaking, Wen Xiang suddenly became excited.
If you can't fix Qin Yi, then you can fix Yuan Kui!
Of the two generals today, he must cripple one of them!
"Your Majesty, this Zhu Yuankui is violent and unethical, killing prisoners and ruining the reputation of our dynasty. He should be punished severely and serve as a warning to others!" Wen Xiang said loudly.
In the dispute between civil and military ministers, the Grand Master has always been neutral, but because they are both scholars, they tend to favor Wen Xiang. But now, seeing Wen Xiang being so shameless and swaying from side to side, the Grand Master couldn't help but frown, secretly wondering why the empress chose such a person.
Shameless person.
Marquis Dingjun also laughed angrily and shook his head speechlessly.
Prime Minister Wu solemnly said again, "I still need to congratulate Your Majesty!"
The empress turned around and looked, slightly surprised.
Wu Xiang said firmly, "Zhu Shouwei knew that slaughtering prisoners would lead to the reputation of cruelty, but he did not care, because he was loyal and could not bear to cause trouble to your majesty. How could you not congratulate your majesty for receiving such a loyal person?"
?"
When Ding Junhou and the Grand Master heard this, they couldn't help but admire that the level of persuasion by Wu Xiang was really superb!
There is no word of pleading between the lines, but it can speak to the heart of the empress.
When the empress heard the words, she pondered slightly.
In fact, she also knew that taking in the barbarians would bring about many problems, and it would most likely be a thankless task, posing a hidden danger.
After all, there are fires everywhere at Chixinmen. Maybe in a certain year or month, the barbarians will be tempted to cause trouble again.
However, the late emperor was known for his benevolence and righteousness. As his daughter, how could she have a reputation of cruelty? Therefore, this barbarian had to be taken in even if he didn't want to.
Therefore, what Zhu Yuankui did should be severely punished to express the court's attitude.
But after listening to what the Prime Minister said, it seems that he should not be punished, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal people.
Thinking of this, she sighed softly and said, "In that case, let's not punish both."
Everyone quickly raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Then where should these barbarians be placed?" the empress asked lightly.
Both suggestions were rejected. Wen Xiang was quite frustrated. He stroked his long beard and suddenly had an idea, "Your Majesty, why not send these barbarians to Zhaolie Mansion?"
Everyone was stunned and turned to look.
This suggestion is too insidious!
Zhaolie Mansion has just experienced a flood, and the number of people has been greatly reduced. The land has been flooded, making it difficult to cultivate, and there is a high possibility of plague. At this time, the barbarians are resettled there, isn't it just to kill them?
"Your Majesty, since you plan to take in the barbarians, you should treat them sincerely. Only in this way can they return home. How can you secretly do evil?" said the Prime Minister Wu, cupping his hands.
Prime Minister Wen was immediately angry. This guy actually said that he was doing evil things secretly!
"Your Majesty, the minister proposed this just because the Zhaolie Mansion has few people and can just accommodate the barbarians. There is nothing wrong with it!" Wen Xiang called Qu Dao.
The empress nodded, and did not reveal Xiang Wen's little thoughts. She said lightly, "The barbarians are in the southern border and are accustomed to the southern climate. They should not be sent to the northern border. Let's find a place in the Minling Mansion in the south.
In the uninhabited land, build villages and towns and resettle them."
"In addition, medical officers, private school teachers and others were sent to help the barbarians settle down, teach them writing and teach them, so that they could become king-like people as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone praised loudly.
……
Zhanjing, a luxurious mansion.
The study room is filled with exquisite luxury items, including bookshelves made of precious ancient wood, pen pillows made of rare jade... all kinds of antiques and famous items are everywhere, which shows that the owner of this room has great power and wealth.<
/p>
At this time, the doors and windows in the study were closed, it was extremely dark, and the air was stagnant and no longer circulated.
Suddenly, someone seemed to move on the seat, and a low and majestic voice sounded in the room, "Qin Yi, this son, has repeatedly ruined my good deeds. He should be punished!"
Opposite this person, there is also a person sitting. The room is dark and his face cannot be seen, but from his tone, a trace of sincerity and fear can be heard, "I understand, I have a plan!"
He then said respectfully, "If Qin Yi succeeds as champion, your majesty will designate him as a guerrilla, capable of commanding 600,000 soldiers. From this, I have already met with all the officials to work together to prevent Qin Yi from joining the army."
And transfer him to the Forbidden Army and stay in Zhanjing so that we can kill him!"
"In addition to criticizing the court, the lower officials also sent a letter to Chixinmen, asking them to make Qin Yi a must-kill person, and both sides would take action at the same time!"
After saying this, the man lowered his head and was extremely respectful, not daring to look at the person opposite.
After a moment, majestic words came from the other side, "Yes!"
The thick murderous intention spreads rapidly in the house!
