In the palace.
Meng Ao sent someone to convey the message.
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian had arrived.
"Greetings, General."
"Greetings, Prime Minister."
As soon as the three of them arrived, Ying Zheng and the other two immediately bowed and cupped their fists.
"The Crown Prince is too polite. You are the ruler, and I am a subject. There is no need to be so formal.”
Meng Ao looked at Ying Zheng and said with a smile.
"General, you praise me too much. In the army, there are only generals and not soldiers. Moreover, I'm just a small soldier in the army.”Ying Zheng said with a serious face, not showing any arrogance because of his identity.
He looked around.
This was unique among all the princes in the world.
In this era.
Apart from Great Qin, they would use commercial laws to govern the country, and if a prince broke the law, he would be punished as a commoner. However, in the other countries, this naturally did not exist. They would still be ruled by aristocrats and powerful officials, and if aristocrats and powerful officials killed people, no one would punish them.
If he became the Crown Prince, he would be even more domineering.
"You really are the Crown Prince of Great Qin, the future Crown Prince.”Lu Buwei thought to himself. He was very satisfied.
"Good, as expected of the Crown Prince that our Great Qin ancestors thought highly of.”
Looking at Ying Zheng's steady and courteous performance, Meng Ao was also very satisfied.
In his heart, he was also secretly happy that he had used his two grandsons to protect Ying Zheng. He had done the right thing.
After today's baptism on the battlefield.
He had personally experienced the slaughter.
Having killed countless enemies with his own hands, Ying Zheng had also undergone some transformation. At the moment, his body, which had originally appeared young and tender, was now filled with a dense killing intent.
If he continued to stay in the army, Ying Zheng would definitely welcome an even greater transformation.
"May I know why General has summoned me?”Ying Zheng asked.
"This time, the Crown Prince has taken the lead in attacking the city and has made great contributions to the Great Qin Empire. He has personally killed more than 200 enemies. After returning in triumph, I will personally confer a title to the Crown Prince.”Meng Ao said with a smile.
"Grandfather, what about the two of us? We followed the Crown Prince into the city and killed many enemies.”Meng Tian said proudly.
"That's right, grandfather. We also know how to confer titles, right?”Meng Yi asked proudly.
"Shut up."
Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were about to speak, Meng Ao glared at them, scaring them so much that they shrank their necks.
"There are no fathers and sons in the army, and there are no grandfathers and grandsons. There are only superiors and subordinates.”Meng Ao berated.
"Yes, General."
The two smug fellows immediately came back to their senses.
"Crown Prince, I summoned you here today because I have a matter for you to do. It was personally instructed by the ancestor.”Meng Ao turned his head, looked at Ying Zheng again and said, a smile naturally hanging on his face.
"Ancestor's orders?"
Ying Zheng's face changed slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face,""Has the ancestor come to Gongyi?"
"Ancestor just came and left.”Meng Ao immediately replied.
As for Ying Qi's whereabouts, Meng Ao naturally did not know. But, he was sure that he was still in Gongyi City. However, he did not dare to point it out, lest Ying Zheng had any reliance, and lose his ambition.
"If ancestor has any instructions, Zheng 'er will do his best.”Ying Zheng said seriously.
"What does the Crown Prince think of the surrendered soldiers of the Zhou Country captured by the Great Qin this time?”Meng Ao asked.
"You can't kill these surrendered soldiers, you can't release them, and you can't demote them to slaves.”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then directly said three points.
"Oh."
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Ao was slightly surprised, and then continued to ask,""Crown Prince, please continue."
"In the past, Lord Wu 'an killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers. Although the strength of Zhao was greatly reduced, it also caused the countries of the world to fear Great Qin. To Great Qin, King Zhao Xiang had no choice but to kill Lord Wu' an in order to exchange for the hearts of the people of the world.”
"As such, we must not kill any more prisoners of war, especially since Great Qin is determined to rule the world. We cannot do such a thing that will lose the hearts of the people.”
"Moreover, we can use them as slaves for Great Qin in the short term, but in the future, when Great Qin conquers the other countries, there will be more and more captives. If we don't deal with them, it will affect Great Qin's strength, so we can't do this.”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said.
At this moment.
Meng Ao and Lu Buwei looked at each other in surprise.
They did not expect that Ying Zheng, who was so young, would have such knowledge. He had actually told them all about the future troubles that they had mentioned just now.
"Then how does the Crown Prince think Great Qin should deal with these surrendered soldiers?”
Lu Buwei hurriedly asked.
"When dealing with these surrendered soldiers, attacking their hearts is the most important thing. If you want to subdue them, and if you want to conquer the other countries in the future and unify the world, you have to attack their hearts and make them truly serve Great Qin.”Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, a confident look on his face.
"How to attack the heart?"
Meng Ao asked.
Not only him.
Lu Buwei was also curious.
Both of them were stuck here and could not figure it out, but seeing how confident Ying Zheng was, perhaps they had really thought of a way.
"My ancestors taught me the techniques of the emperor, the art of war, the way of governing the country, and the art of attacking the heart.”
"This time, if you want to subdue the surrendered soldiers, you must attack their hearts. The only way to attack their hearts is to…"
