When everything was settled, Ying Zheng brought Ying Chen to the Hall of Diligent Government.
Along the way, Ying Zheng did not say a word, while Ying Chen followed behind him obediently, not saying a word either.
When only the father and son were left, Ying Zheng, who had always been incomparably domineering and dignified, as if nothing could defeat him, could not help but let out a long sigh!
"Could it be that I have really let down the world and let down the gods?”
In front of Ying Chen, Ying Zheng had revealed a weakness that he would never show in front of ordinary people!
It was true, everything that had happened today had truly chilled Ying Zheng's heart.
If Fu Su could understand even a little of his pain, Ying Zheng wouldn't have done this!
The reason why Ying Zheng had killed those Confucian scholars was because they had participated in the refining of the medicinal pills, and then attempted to murder him. It was also because Ying Zheng had vented his anger on these Confucian scholars!
Ying Zheng would never admit that there was anything bad about Fu Su, as he was the eldest son whom he had placed great hopes on!
In that case, there was only one possibility. This group of Confucian scholars had led his eldest son astray!
In Ying Zheng's eyes, this was an unforgivable sin.
Now, Fu Su was able to watch as Ying Zheng was poisoned, but did not pursue the mastermind. Instead, he repeatedly begged him to forgive those sinners, hoping that he would be merciful.
Damn it, wasn't he, Ying Zheng, always benevolent?
He knew that the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, colluding with the remnants of the Six Nations and causing them to be restless, but he still pinched his nose and allowed them to enter the Great Qin Dynasty!
And the result?
Do you Confucian scholars treat his concession and compromise as weakness?
On the surface, they opposed all of Ying Zheng's decrees, but in secret, they were entangled with those alchemists and alchemists who had created poisonous pills and tried to harm him. How could Ying Zheng forgive them?
Was he supposed to wait until their knives were placed on his neck before he was allowed to resist?
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng became even more furious and indignant!
"Chen 'er, I saw that you've been silent about this matter. What are you thinking?”
This was the main reason why Ying Zheng had called Ying Chen to his side.
He realized that Ying Chen was a little too quiet today, just like the Ninth Young Master from a week ago!
Ying Zheng was already a little nervous because of Fu Su.
If even Ying Chen could not understand him, Ying Zheng's mentality would probably collapse!
Unknowingly, Ying Zheng rarely used the title of 'Zhen' in front of Ying Chen anymore.
"I think Imperial Father has done something wrong!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart sank!
However, what Ying Chen said right after that had completely stunned Ying Zheng.
"I don't think Imperial Father should have killed these Confucians, but it was too late, and he killed too few!”
"Father's greatest mistake was being too merciful!”
At this moment, Ying Zheng was looking at Ying Chen with disbelief in his eyes!
Don't think that Ying Zheng didn't know that when people talked about the Great Qin, they would call it the Violent Qin, and when they talked about him, they would call him the Tyrant!
It was either that Great Qin had gone overboard in its conquest of the world, or that Ying Zheng had been cruel and ruthless in his reign!
But now, in front of Ying Zheng, who was publicly acknowledged as a tyrant, someone said that he was too merciful!
Moreover, when Ying Chen said those words, he was sincere. He didn't have any intention of lying to him.
Ying Zheng, who had experienced countless things and seen countless people, firmly believed that he would never be wrong about this!
And no one would be able to cheat in front of him!
"Why do you say that? Am I too merciful?"
Ying Zheng asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Ying Chen saw the disbelief on Ying Zheng's face, and continued,""Actually, in my opinion, whether it's these Confucians, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, or the remnants of the Six Nations, they're not on the same side as Great Qin!”
"If you want to rely on appeasement to influence them, that will definitely not work.”
"Our Great Qin destroyed their foundation as a noble family and destroyed the soil that allowed them to rule the world. They naturally view Great Qin as extremely hostile.”
"We should show no mercy to these stubborn existences who are destined to become enemies with Great Qin and kill them all!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but shake his head,""Child, you are still young.”
"I had the same thoughts as you back then, but governing a country is not that simple!”
"The Hundred Schools of Philosophers are so powerful. The survivors of the Six Nations and the survivors of the Six Nations rely on each other.”
However, when he said this, Ying Zheng did not have the slightest intention of reprimanding him.
In Ying Chen, Ying Zheng seemed to see the young and vigorous him from back then!
"As expected of my Chen 'er.”
At this moment, Ying Zheng could not help but sigh in his heart.
However, Ying Chen had a different opinion about Ying Zheng's words.
Ying Chen shook his head,"Imperial Father, I still don't agree with your point of view!"”
"I think you think too highly of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations!”
"The survivors of the Six Nations are not a problem at all. As long as Great Qin can feed them and make them feel that they are thousands of times better than the Six Nations, they will not pose any threat to Great Qin's rule!”
"Not only that, but they will also become the foundation of Great Qin!”
Hearing Ying Chen's words, Ying Zheng nodded his head slightly to show his approval.
Ying Chen continued," Be it the Hundred Schools of Philosophy or the remnants of the Six Nations, without the support of the people, all their actions are like rootless trees and water without a source. They are destined to slowly become rotten wood and a pool of stagnant water!”
"It's obvious how much power the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations can unleash!”
"Then what do you want to do in the end? Completely eradicate the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and kill all the remnants of the Six Nations?”
At this moment, Ying Zheng was somewhat persuaded by Ying Chen, and could not help but ask with great interest.
Hearing this, Ying Chen said proudly," It's not that the Hundred Schools of Philosophy can't exist, but they have to serve Great Qin and its 25 million citizens. Otherwise, they will only face destruction!”
