Xiao Ding suddenly felt that this little eunuch in front of him could bring him an unusual train of thought!
She wanted to ask him some questions.
"Little Ning, this is too difficult for me. The Northguard Marquis, Xiao Liang, embezzled 80,000 dans of food from Jiangnan's disaster relief. The imperial court allocated a total of 100,000 dans of food, and they embezzled 8 dans!”
"How hateful. The Great Zhou Dynasty's reputation is ruined by these royal family nobles and corrupt officials!”
"And that Xiao Liang is my cousin. What can I do? He is also a founding hero who fought with me!”
"Little Ning, do you have any ideas?”
Ning Tian did not understand why an Emperor would ask him such a question.
He pondered for a moment. Perhaps his words had touched the Emperor!
Thus, he gained the emperor's trust.
The Emperor was slightly disappointed when he saw that Ning Tian did not speak for a long time. As expected, what could he count on a little eunuch!
After a while, Ning Tian said,"
"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare to discuss the government.”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Ding stared at him and said,"You can say whatever you want. Zhen will grant you special permission to express your opinion."”
"Then I would like to ask the emperor to pardon me for speaking out of fear…" Ning Tian said in a deep voice.
"Heh, if you want to say it, then say it. Since zhen allows you to say it, zhen will not blame you!"”
However, the first sentence Ning Tian said made the emperor furious!
"This servant thinks that the Northguard Marquis is unpardonable and deserves to be killed!”
Ning Tian did not know how he had the courage to say this.
As expected, Xiao Ding's aura suppressed the entire place. He said with a furious face,
"Presumptuous! Xiao Liang is my cousin. Although he has made mistakes, he is also a hero. How would I dare to burn the bridge after crossing the river? How would the thousands of soldiers view me?”
Ning Tian quickly pretended to kneel down and beg for mercy!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant dares to hear me out, Your Majesty!”
Only then did Xiao Ding restrain his aura,"Get up."”
"May I ask Your Majesty, is the family or the country bigger?”
"The National University of China, of course."
"This servant asks Your Majesty again, do you want the country or the family?”
"Can't I have them at the same time?"
This was…
"It is possible, but what this servant wants to ask is, if only one of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Your Majesty can stay, how will Your Majesty choose?”
Xiao Ding said in a full tone,
"I don't care if I die. As long as I can protect the Great Zhou Dynasty's luck for a thousand years!”
Ning Tian had long known that Xiao Ding was a person who had feelings for his country. It was indeed exactly what he wanted.
"Then, Your Majesty, Xiao Liang is your brother. If the dynasty's destiny is destroyed because of him and even the dynasty is corrupted, will you protect the Great Zhou or your brotherhood?”
"If you pardon the Northguard Marquis on the basis of brotherhood, will the civilians be convinced by your decree that the emperor will be punished equally with the commoners if he breaks the law?”
"Once the laws collapse, the laws will be useless!”
"This also means that everything Your Majesty has done before will be in vain!"”
The Emperor's eyes widened. Every time Ning Tian spoke, his eyelids could not help but twitch!
He was already extremely shocked!
Ning Tian seized the opportunity and continued,"
"The Marquis of Zhenbei has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but His Majesty did not mistreat him. He was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenbei and given countless fertile fields, mansions, and slaves.”
"Whether it's from the perspective of a monarch or a brother, Your Majesty, you didn't mistreat him!”
"Military law is about rewards and punishments for merits and demerits. This is a principle that every soldier understands. Doesn't he, Marquis Zhenbei, understand it?”
"When he broke the law, did he consider Your Majesty's difficulties and think for Your Majesty? If he did, he wouldn't be so rampant in taking bribes and bending the law!”
"Therefore, Your Majesty killing him is the law, where justice lies, and what the people want. There's nothing wrong with it.”
These words enlightened the Emperor.
He stared at Ning Tian, not knowing how to describe this person in front of him. Was he a demon or a eunuch?
Xiao Ding's tiger eyes lit up." I only knew that corrupt officials should be killed, but I never analyzed the pros and cons. Everyone in the world says that I'm just a martial artist who doesn't know how to govern the country.”
"Powerful officials are afraid of Zhen's blame and dare not tell the truth in front of Zhen, or they have other motives."
"Today, you have broken my mindset. I ask you again, since corrupt officials want to be killed, why can't they be killed?”
Ning Tian bowed slightly and continued to speak righteously,"
"Your Majesty, corrupt officials can't be killed…"
Xiao Ding had a shocked expression as he said,"What do you mean?" How can he not be killed!"
Ning Tian's eyelashes moved slightly." Your Majesty, from ancient times until now, every dynasty has corrupt officials. Greed is human instinct."”
"There are seven deadly sins in human life. They are arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust.”
"This is the weakness of human nature. Many people find it difficult to overcome.”
Xiao Ding's body trembled again. He muttered,"Seven Deadly Sins?"
He recalled Ning Tian's words and was extremely shocked. He felt that it made sense.
How many emperors had slacked off on state affairs because of their dissolute lives!
How many emperors had died because of wine and meat?
"Yes, Your Majesty."”
"Your Majesty, the reason why corrupt officials cannot be killed is because people will always have greed. Killing people cannot be done once and for all, but they cannot not kill people.”
"However, that's why we can't just kill people to deal with corruption!”
The more the Emperor listened, the more interested he became. He could not wait to know what Ning Tian was going to say next.
"Tell me quickly, what should we do?"
Ning Tian continued in a deep voice,"
"Your Majesty, this servant dares to offer you six ways to deal with corruption!”
