Just as Xu Fu made up his mind, Ying Zheng's casual voice rang in his ears again,""There's no need to think blindly. I didn't arrange anyone by your side, but I can see through the hearts of the people in this world.”
Xu Fu's hair stood on end. He felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and his entire body turned cold.
Ying Zheng did not disturb the stunned Xu Fu, but waited patiently.
The development of the matter was indeed going as he had expected.
In fact, it was impossible for him to see through people's hearts, but it was not difficult to guess Xu Fu's hidden thoughts after being exposed.
This was not difficult. A meticulous person could accurately predict with a little speculation.
If he could conquer Yingzhou without bloodshed just by relying on Xu Fu's tricks, why not?
"This commoner is willing to serve His Majesty and the Empire.”
Xu Fu wasn't stupid. He had lost the capital he relied on to fool the First Emperor. He had no room to bargain with the First Emperor.
Wealth and glory were what he pursued. If he could be loyal to His Majesty and serve the empire, what was there to be dissatisfied about?
"Very good."
Ying Zheng was in a good mood. He returned to his throne, then looked at all the civil and military officials in the court and said in a clear voice,""There's an island in the East Sea called Yingzhou. Its race is despicable and doesn't follow the teachings of the king.”
"With the heart of a wolf, he covets the wealth of the Divine Prefecture.”
"Train their bestial nature and nurture their despicable intentions. Give him tools and whip him. They are the best slaves in the world, called Japanese slaves.”
Ying Zheng did not have a good impression of the Japanese slaves on Yingzhou Island, and he did not even try to hide the contempt and disdain in his heart.
Such ugly beasts were not worthy of being called humans at all. They were just a group of animals in human skin.
Since We know about the future, these despicable beasts will never be able to cross Great Qin's unattainable mountain.
Great Qin would forever suppress these animals and make their children and grandchildren part of China for all eternity. As long as Great Qin did not die, they would only be worthy of being Japanese slaves.
The entire court was in an uproar. Why was His Majesty so dissatisfied with this unknown barbarian?
After all, ever since Great Qin was established, it had been conquering everywhere.
Countless small countries had been destroyed. Towards these people, they had always adopted a soft approach and slowly integrated.
Just like the Yue Barbarians, even if Great Qin defeated them, it would not exterminate them and would instead slowly devour them.
A hundred years later, these barbarians would become the people of the new Qin and completely shake off their status as barbarians.
Since the Three Royals and Five Emperors, China had never been divided into ethnic groups by bloodline, but by enlightenment.
As long as the barbarians accepted the teachings of Huaxia, they would be part of Huaxia.
If the Huaxia people were not educated, then they were barbarians.
China had never been established by bloodline, but by humanity.
What is Hua?
Beautiful clothes, beautiful words, even more beautiful people, can be said to be gorgeous.
However, from the tone of His Majesty, he planned to enslave all the natives of Yingzhou and not educate them.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Doing things like this is against the path of sages and against humanity.”
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty."
Almost all the officials in the court were discussing animatedly, and the group of professors were even trying to persuade them.
Ying Zheng cast a glance at the dozens of doctors who had stepped forward, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
It was this group of old-fashioned antiques who went against him everywhere.
It seemed like he had to teach these stubborn old fogeys a lesson!
"The way of sages cultivates people, and the way of heaven cultivates people's hearts. However, they were beasts and not humans, so how could they teach them?”
Without saying another word, Ying Zheng retorted.
"Your Majesty is wise."
This time, it was not Li Si who stood out first, but Shu Suntong, a scholar and also a doctor waiting for the imperial edict. He stood out like a crane among chickens as he bowed to Ying Zheng.
"Shu Suntong, you flatter me with your slanderous words.”
"I'm a villain."
"I'm ashamed to be associated with him."
For a moment, the group of doctors and students were all cursing at Shu Suntong.
"No, the sages have said that humans and animals do not live together, and yin and yang do not coexist.”
"Since His Majesty says that they are all beasts, then they are equivalent to wild beasts. Who can educate tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals?”
Shu Suntong did not care about the students 'mockery and said calmly.
He knew very well that he and this group of people who were fishing for fame could not pee in the same pot at all, so he did not have to give them face.
In their words, he was a villain who spoke slanderous words and fawned over others. Shu Suntong had never denied it.
He was indeed greedy for power and glory.
So what?
People should live a little more truthfully, see the reality clearly, and be true to themselves.
Wearing a mask all the time, isn't it tiring to live?
"That's right. Whoever can educate tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals, I will show mercy and spare those beasts.”
"If you don't have the ability, then get lost.”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he glared at the crowd with his pair of fierce eyes.
This…
Wasn't this forcing him?
The group of scholars were dumbfounded as they looked at the powerful Prime Minister Li Si and Imperial Censor Feng Quji.
Li Si quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
What kind of joke was this?
To argue with His Majesty over such a trivial matter?
Li Si seriously suspected that all the students had been kicked in the head by a mule or a horse.
Feng Quji didn't lower his head but stepped forward.
When the students saw this scene, they felt gratified and grateful. Finally, there was an imperial censor standing up for them.
"Your Majesty, you are wise. Since ancient times, although China has always taught people without discrimination, it has never given mercy to despicable races.”
"Ever since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, China has been famous for its ability to fight.”
"During the reign of King Wuding of Shang, the barbarians from the distant west invaded China.”
"Because King Wuding of Shang was busy conquering Guifang, in the face of danger, the High Priest of Shang Dynasty, who is also the Queen of Shang, Fu Hao was ordered to defeat the Western Barbarians and defend the civilization of China.”
"The captives were greedy and despicable by nature. They often ate humans, so they were regarded as wild beasts and were exterminated.”
"The Eastern Sea Japanese slaves that Your Majesty mentioned are jackals of the same tribe as the Western Barbarians.”
Feng Quji's words, which quoted the classics, caused the entire court to instantly quieten down.
It seemed that he had misunderstood His Majesty!
Ying Zheng gave Feng Quji a look of great admiration. This was the kind of minister that Great Qin needed.
According to the records of the Shang Dynasty, the barbarians from the Far West should be the Aryans, the so-called destroyer of ancient civilizations in the future, right?
Babylonia, ancient Egypt, and ancient India were all destroyed by this powerful people who had been roaming the western grasslands.
The Shang Dynasty was undoubtedly a great dynasty. In this dynasty, China's territory was greatly expanded.
For thousands of years, the mountains and rivers that China had today were obtained by generations of sages who fought with blood, bit by bit, from the hands of the powerful barbarians.
It was precisely because of the spirit of China's ancestors that led the later generations to be the first to imitate them that China's civilization stood proudly in the world.
Watching the rise and fall of civilizations, only our majestic China has a long history and is immortal.
