After hearing the Ancestral Dragon's words.
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji slowly stood up.
He had never gotten along with Li Si.
The Emperor asked for the Prime Minister's opinion.
Many of the officials seemed to have found a backer.
Everyone looked at Feng Quji for help.
There were also many people who muttered in their hearts.
Li Si and the right-hand man were already at loggerheads.
Now that His Majesty had asked about the Right Prime Minister.
She must have been swayed by Li Si's decision.
It seemed like there was still a chance.
Feng Quji slowly stood up.
He first looked at the eager gazes of the people below.
Then, he looked at Li Si, Meng Tian, and Wang Jian.
At the same time, he raised his head and looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting closest to the Ancestral Dragon.
He was an old fox.
Moreover, he had been in the officialdom for so many years.
Under an emperor like the Ancestral Dragon, he was a figure who could live like a fish in water.
The depth of his thoughts was terrifying.
He first thought about the ins and outs of this matter.
He then looked at Meng Tian and the other two.
These three people were the three people that the Ancestral Dragon relied on very much.
He also heard that Li Si had entered the palace in the middle of the night.
If the Emperor didn't take the lead in this matter.
It could even be said that the national teacher Chen Ke was behind it.
Li Si did not dare to show up at a time like this.
After thinking this through.
Feng Quji's eyes were cold.
"I support this matter!"”
"This old minister is willing to take out the land of my family!”
Crash...
Feng Quji's words stunned everyone.
Even Li Si and Ancestral Dragon were a little surprised.
What was wrong with this old thing today?
Zu Long also understood that Feng Quji and Li Si had always been at odds.
There was always friction between political views.
In the past, whenever Li Si raised an opinion in the imperial court, he would always object.
Why did she agree so obediently today?
Could it be that this old thing's personality had changed overnight?
Those officials who had hoped that Feng Quji would object were all shocked.
"What's wrong with the Senior Prime Minister today?"
"I don't know either. Normally, he should have raised an objection.”
"How can the Right Prime Minister collude with Li Si?”
"It's over, if the Senior Prime Minister doesn't speak up for us, then it's all over!”
"Do we really have to hand over the land to a cruel official like Li Si?”
"I'm not handing it over. That's what my family has accumulated for generations.”
The courtiers wailed.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take the lead and hand over the land without any complaints.”
"But Your Majesty, are those soldiers who have made contributions on the battlefield willing to hand over their land?”
"If we don't handle their problem well, I'm afraid it will incite a mutiny.”
This sentence made those officials who had fallen to the bottom of the valley rise with hope again.
The Senior Prime Minister was still the same Senior Prime Minister.
This was a good question.
We can take out the land.
But what about those soldiers?
They had exchanged the heads of their enemies for land.
Now, they had to take it out.
How could it be that simple?
If these people rebelled.
How would the Imperial Court end this?
All the officials heaved a sigh of relief.
The Right Prime Minister was indeed experienced.
Hence, an official stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the Senior Prime Minister is right!"
"Us civil officials, the way we obtain land is nothing more than the savings of our families. We only inherit the land.”
"But those soldiers are different."
Ancestral Dragon looked at the person who spoke.
Disgust rose in his heart.
He said it so pompously because he didn't want to give up the land.
There was also Feng Quji, that old thing.
All he said was benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
He had a lot of ideas in his mind.
What a good move.
It was clearly for the sake of those soldiers.
Secretly, he was excusing himself.
A general also stood out.
"Prime Minister Li, I'm a boorish man, I can't say anything nice.”
"I only know that the soldiers under me fought their way back from the battlefield.”
"They sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy for Great Qin.”
"The imperial court bestowing them with land is a reward for them.”
"If we take back all this land, won't we be losing the hearts of our brothers? If that's the case, it's better for you to go to war in the future!”
A few sentences pushed Li Si to the point of intensifying the conflict.
For a moment, everyone grasped this opening.
"Your Majesty, almost all of Great Qin's soldiers have been rewarded with land.”
"Their families could only survive because they had land. Now that their land is taken away, how can their families survive?”
"If they can't even protect their families, will the soldiers still have the motivation to defend and kill the enemies at the border?”
Feng Quji watched all of this coldly.
Chen Ke, who was above, also stared coldly at Feng Quji.
These people were not simple at all.
Very clever.
With just a few words, the atmosphere became so stiff.
Feng Quji was very proud.
He had profited greatly.
He had acted obediently in front of the Emperor.
And let the ministers know that I didn't betray them.
Killing two birds with one stone.
What a cunning old fox.
Meng Tian and Wang Jian looked at Feng Quji's face and felt disgusted.
At the same time, he looked at the Ancestral Dragon sitting on the throne.
And Chen Ke beside him.
Seeing that the two of them were sitting steadily on Mount Tai, not wavering at all.
He was impressed.
The two of them had long expected today's situation.
Therefore, he had already made arrangements last night.
Hence, Wang Jian stood out.
"For the Senior Prime Minister to be able to think for the soldiers, it really surprised us who led the troops into battle, and we were also touched.”
"But you don't have to worry about what the soldiers think!”
"Come in!"
Feng Quji was stunned.
The officials were also surprised.
Could it be that he had other tricks up his sleeve?
A few soldiers quickly came in from outside.
Wang Jian started to introduce them." These few are all good men in the army. They have made a lot of contributions.”
Then, he listed the contributions of these people one by one.
Everyone was shocked.
He didn't expect that these seemingly ordinary looking soldiers could actually kill so many enemies.
"Tell me your wishes!"
A few soldiers came forward and said,"We are all willing to offer up the land we have been rewarded with!"”
The officials didn't understand." You exchanged your lives for those lands. Are you really willing to take them out?"”
"Prime Minister Li said that our land can only produce about 100 catties of grain per mu."”
"But after planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, we can produce three to four thousand catties per mu.”
"We only need to take out the land that we have been rewarded with, and the Imperial Court will subsidize us with high-yield seeds. One mu of land will be equivalent to the yield of 30 to 40 mu of land in the past.”
"My family still has a few acres of land. If we calculate it this way, as long as we contribute a few acres of land, we can exchange for such good seeds. Only a fool would not do it!”
