On the other side, Feng Quji was originally in high spirits. He did not expect someone to stand up and directly refute his words.
When he turned his head and saw that the person who opposed him was the Crown Prince Ying Chen, Feng Quji restrained his anger.
Feng Quji cupped his hands towards Ying Chen,"I wonder if Your Highness has any brilliant ideas?”
"I have two opinions!" Ying Chen raised two fingers.”
"First, what is the relationship between the commoners and Great Qin?”
"Second, how can Great Qin truly unify the six countries?”
After saying this, Ying Chen's gaze swept across the entire court. Clearly, he wasn't simply asking Feng Quji.
On the other side, when they heard Ying Chen's two questions, all the officials in the court, whether they were those who advocated Confucianism, Legalism, or some officials who advocated other schools of thought, began to think about this question!
This was a question that countless sages and philosophers had pondered over in the four hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
Seeing the officials start to think, Ying Chen continued to give his own thoughts,"In this regard, I more or less agree with the words of the Confucian scholar, Mencius!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the court, including Fu Su and Ying Zheng, were stunned!
Who didn't know that just a few days ago, Crown Prince Ying Chen had fiercely attacked the Confucian school's enfeoffment system, scolding the Confucian school to the point that even Eldest Young Master Fu Su could only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.
It was also because the Crown Prince Ying Chen had revealed his abilities that the scholars present couldn't grasp Ying Chen's personality.
Thus, the scholars of the scholarly faction had chosen to play it safe.
Speaking of this, he had to admit that the Confucians had always been very "tolerant". This might be what benevolence meant.
But no matter what, after what happened a few days ago, everyone knew that Crown Prince Ying Chen didn't have a good impression of the scholarly faction.
But now, Crown Prince Ying Chen had actually said that he agreed with the scholarly faction's second sage Mencius. This made everyone unable to react.
"Mencius said," The people are the most important, and the state is second!"Ying Chen said.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face could not help but darken slightly.
He knew this sentence, and he also knew that behind this sentence, there was another sentence," The king is light!"
As the one emperor who unified the world and ruled the world, Ying Zheng had habitually developed a sense of supremacy.
It was very difficult for him to admit that he and the Great Qin Empire he had created could be overturned by the commoners!
Therefore, Ying Chen immediately explained,""Great Qin has a million soldiers and more than 25 million people!”
"A portion of these 25 million people are the parents and relatives of Great Qin's soldiers.”
"If we only think that Great Qin's strength comes from these one million soldiers and ignore the 25 million residents, then Great Qin will definitely make a mistake!”
"These 25 million people are the foundation that will ensure that these soldiers will forever be loyal to Great Qin!”
At this moment, Ying Zheng was only forty-five years old, and he was still in his prime. Therefore, the current Ying Zheng was not as domineering as he was three years later when he felt death approaching him step by step.
In fact, what many people did not know was that Ying Zheng had always been an emperor who listened to his subjects 'opinions and was able to change his own mistakes!
Therefore, at this moment, when Ying Zheng carefully analyzed every word and sentence Ying Chen said, his unique foresight and foresight in politics made him feel that Ying Chen's words were right!
At the same time, not only Ying Zheng, but all the civil and military officials in the court were also thinking about this question.
Ying Chen didn't urge him, because he knew that it would take some time for Ying Zheng and all the officials in the court to accept this viewpoint.
Those who were able to stand in front of Ying Zheng in this great hall were definitely the top talents of this era!
They might have conflicts between ideologies and interests, but they were definitely not stupid!
So, slowly, they understood that Ying Chen was right!
His reasoning was logical!
In the end, Feng Quji stood up."Then may I ask, Your Highness, the soldiers of Great Qin are mainly selected from the six million old Qin people. Even if what you say is right, what does this have to do with the descendants of the six dynasties?”
"Moreover, the survivors of the six dynasties have repeatedly opposed our Great Qin. May I ask what their lives and deaths have to do with us?”
Feng Quji's words were a little cold and even cold-blooded, but it was not the truth!
Therefore, even the scholars of the Confucian school who pursued benevolence didn't stand up and oppose Feng Quji's words.
Even though they were old-fashioned, they were still officials of Great Qin. At least for now, they stood on Great Qin's side.
Ying Chen didn't panic in the face of Feng Quji's question. He smiled and said,""Prime Minister Feng, look at you now. Isn't this the second question I mentioned?”
Feng Quji and the other officials thought about it carefully and realized that it was true!
For a moment, all the officials in the court looked at Ying Chen with fear in their eyes.
This Crown Prince was indeed extraordinary!
Ying Chen cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng and said,""Previously, Imperial Father unified the six countries, then unified the currency, weights, and measures, and then unified the language. This was an unprecedented feat, and it was also the first step for Great Qin to take over the people of the world!”
Good lord, as soon as Ying Chen said this, the anger that Ying Zheng had felt because of Ying Chen's words," The people are the most important, the country is second ", completely disappeared.
At Ying Zheng's level, he could tell whether Ying Chen was telling the truth or not.
And what Ying Zheng was most proud of in his entire life was naturally his great undertaking of unifying the six dynasties and then unifying the world.
Therefore, Ying Chen's words had scratched Ying Zheng's itch, and had completely calmed his anger.
As for the ministers below the stage, which one of them wasn't an old fox? How could they not see that Ying Chen had already calmed down Ying Zheng's anger with just a few words!
Amazing, Your Highness!
Many ministers praised him in their hearts.
On the other side, Ying Chen did not care too much about it. After all, he was still a little young. He only felt that he was doing everything for Great Qin, and there was no need to hide anything. As such, he naturally ignored what he had said and how Ying Zheng felt.
Ying Chen continued," But before this, we only subdued the nobles of the Six Nations and disintegrated their culture. We didn't completely win the hearts of the people of the Six Nations!”
"What we need to do now is to completely win the hearts of the six countries over to Great Qin!”
