Feng Quji wanted to remind his son!
But he knew.
His son was so one-track minded.
What a stubborn brain!
He only hoped that Ying Ziye wouldn't argue with Feng Jie.
Ying Ziye glanced at Feng Jie.
Look at his exasperated expression!
He wanted to laugh!
Ying Ziye sat back down at the table and calmly looked at Feng Jie!
All the officials broke out in cold sweat.
Everyone thought.
Ying Ziye had become a murderous maniac.
Feng Jie dared to insult the Crown Prince in public.
He was probably dead this time.
However!
To the surprise of all the officials, Ying Ziye not only didn't get angry, but also revealed a smile.
"You look down on farmers?" Ying Ziye asked indifferently.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, I am not looking down on farmers. However, people are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Farmers have their own way of living. As the descendants of emperors, they also have the responsibility of the Crown Prince Palace!”Feng Jie replied loudly.
"In my opinion, if Great Qin wants to prosper, we have to put the people first. Ministers like you think that you are very knowledgeable, but you don't understand the sufferings of the people!”Ying Ziye said.
Feng Jie was naturally not convinced.
He thought that Ying Ziye was just looking for an excuse to relax.
"If the commoners want to live well, they need a wise ruler to govern diligently!”Feng Jie retorted.
"Your so-called diligence is sitting in the court? Looking at the officials below who sent up a letter to deceive their superiors and subordinates?”Ying Ziye said rudely.
As soon as he said this.
Some of the officials lowered their heads subconsciously.
Wasn't this a little too serious?
He definitely couldn't deceive his superiors and subordinates.
However!
As the emperor, his energy was limited.
All the memorials that were sent to the emperor.
They had all gone through strict screening.
Since there was someone to choose.
There would definitely be some selfishness. This was because many corrupt officials were so arrogant.
Because…
There were people above them.
All the memorials to impeach them.
They were all blocked outside Xianyang Palace.
The Emperor was blinded.
What could he do?
Feng Jie didn't know how to answer.
Ying Ziye didn't care. There were always corrupt people in any dynasty who formed cliques for personal gain. If he really wanted to kill them, he was afraid that the entire imperial court would have to be wiped clean.
Ying Ziye looked at Feng Jie and said," Your spirit of not being afraid of death is worthy of praise. However, this Young Master still suggests that you should first understand the sufferings of the people when you are boasting about national affairs!"”
Feng Jie's expression changed!
In his opinion.
He would also go to those places of suffering on a daily basis.
However, the Crown Prince, who was always high and mighty, was still the prime minister.
He should understand the sufferings of the people better.
After being lectured by Ying Ziye, Feng Jie repeatedly said,""I believe that I understand the sufferings of the people!”
Ying Ziye sneered," You understand? Alright, let me ask you, how much is a jin of rice on Xianyang East Street?”
When he asked this question.
Feng Jie was speechless.
He was an Imperial Censor doctor. Usually, when he went to buy rice, there would be people feeding him!
How could he know how much rice was worth?
Seeing Feng Jie being defeated.
Ying Ziye coldly swept his gaze across the ministers and berated them.
"This Young Master is going to court today, so you have to write a dozen letters.”
"However, are the people of Great Qin not starving?”
"Not to mention the other counties, there are still poor people selling their children in Xianyang City!”
"But the memorial didn't mention anything!"
"Ridiculous, pathetic!"
Ying Ziye's berating voice sounded like thunder in the ears of the ministers.
Everyone looked at Ying Ziye in disbelief.
No one expected this.
Ying Ziye actually had such a realization.
An official standing in the corner of the court was trembling.
He had always thought that…
Ying Ziye was also a ruler who didn't know the sufferings of the people and only cared about the nobles.
He was holding a memorial in his hand.
It was almost crushed by him.
This memorial should have been submitted a month ago.
But…
He didn't have any chance.
Hearing Ying Ziye's words…
He took a few steps forward.
With a plop, he knelt down and wailed.
"I, Yunzhong County Governor Zhang Yang, have a letter to report!”
Ying Ziye glanced at Zhang Yang.
In the huge Xianyang Palace, it did not look outstanding. Compared to the other officials, it was gorgeous.
His official robes were tattered.
In fact…
He even used a patch!
Such a person was actually the county's guardian!
Ying Ziye lightly said," Minister Zhang, get up and talk!”
Zhang Yang stood up shakily and said,"" Crown Prince, Great Qin is suffering from famine everywhere, especially in Yunzhong County. The people have no food to eat, so they can only dig for grass roots and eat tree bark. Countless people starve to death every day, and we're just short of exchanging our children for food…"
As soon as he said this.
The officials began to whisper.
Ying Ziye looked at the ministers.
"Dear ministers, did you hear that? I think the famine isn't only happening in Yunzhong County!”
"Since everyone thinks that this young master is not thinking of making progress, then I will give everyone a chance!”
"Yunzhong County doesn't have any corn to satisfy their hunger. Who has a solution?”
The ministers looked at each other.
For a moment, no one spoke.
They stood in the hall.
They had never suffered from hunger or cold. They could talk big about national affairs, but they were helpless when it came to solving the food crisis.
Ying Ziye wasn't in a hurry.
He was very clear.
Under Ying Zheng's tyrannical laws, the root of not paying attention to the people had already been born in the hearts of these ministers.
Ying Ziye wanted to slowly change this thought.
uprooted.
Just when Ying Ziye thought that no one dared to speak.
Suddenly.
An official walked out.
His entire body was bulging.
It was obvious that she ate too much.
This man was Wu Lianchi of the Shao Fu.
He bowed to Ying Ziye and said," Replying to the Crown Prince, I am Wu Lianchi from the Shao Fu. I have a brilliant plan. I wonder if it is possible!"”
Ying Ziye's eyes narrowed. At this time, those who dared to come up with a brilliant plan were not ordinary people.
He was absolutely loyal and a good official.
Although this Wu Lianchi looked like a corrupt official.
He did not expect that he would have a brilliant plan at this time.
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Ying Ziye's face softened a little and he said with a smile,""Young Master Wu must be polite. Since you have a good plan, say it!”
Wu Lianchi's belly was bulging.
He said proudly.
"Just now, County Governor Zhang said that Yunzhong County doesn't have corn to satisfy its hunger.”
"Then…why don't you eat meat?"
