Chapter 256
"Presumptuous, too presumptuous!" Wen Xiang scolded angrily.

In the imperial study room, after reading the document sent back by Zhu Yuankui, Wen Xiang expressed righteous indignation, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this Qin Yimu is lawless, and the next one commits the crime above, please punish him for the crime of disobedience!"

The empress sat in the main seat, her beautiful face didn't show much expression.

"Qin Yi's move is to avoid Shangfeng's nonsense, and it is right!" Ding Junhou immediately retorted, "Our dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, and Zhu Shouwei's move is to trap our dynasty into injustice."

"No matter what, Qin Yi has done a disobedient act, and he must not let it go, lest others follow suit!" Wen Xiang said firmly.

Finally found Qin Yi's handle, he can't let go of anything he says, he has to let the other party take off a layer of skin!

"Nonsense!" Hou Dingjun scolded, "Everything should be considered according to the circumstances. What Qin Yi did was an act of benevolence and righteousness. How can it be called a violation?"

The empress ignored the two people who were arguing, looked at Wu Xiang and the grand master, and asked coldly, "You two lovers, what's your opinion?"

Wu Xiang cupped his hands and said, "My minister congratulates Your Majesty!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, congratulations?
Congratulations to Your Majesty for quelling the southern border war?

But it has been more than a day, and it is too late to congratulate at this time?
When everyone was puzzled, the empress raised her eyebrows slightly and asked coldly, "How do you say that?"

Prime Minister Wu said solemnly, "This dynasty's benevolence and righteousness have always ended wars with war, and never killed in vain. Qin Yi's actions are in line with the foundation of our dynasty, reflecting his benevolence, righteousness and commitment. For the sake of righteousness, he will not hesitate to gamble With wealth and life, His Majesty can have such a benevolent general, it is really my court's great fortune!"

Ding Junhou's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately echoed, "Qin Yi is both civil and military, his strategy is far superior to his peers, and he has a righteous heart. It is really not easy. He should be reused, how can he be punished."

The Grand Master pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, His Majesty should learn from history, be close to the benevolent and righteous people, and stay away from the treacherous and cruel people."

Even the respected grand master said so, Wen Xiang twitched the corners of his mouth, even if he wanted to say something, he could only swallow it abruptly.

From the expression of the empress, he could also see that the empress was not displeased with what Qin Yi had done.

In this way, even if he talks about dry mouth, it will be useless.

The empress lightly pointed her head, "The tyranny of the previous dynasty, my ancestor Gao Xing's teacher of benevolence and righteousness, defeated the master of innocence, and thus established Linzhan. This is the foundation of the establishment of this dynasty and should be defended."

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Qin Yi's actions," the empress said softly, "Since the barbarians have surrendered, they should not be killed in vain, lest they ruin our dynasty's reputation for benevolence and righteousness."

"And this Zhu Yuankui..."

Before the Empress finished speaking, Wen Xiang suddenly got excited.

If Qin Yi can't be punished, then Zhu Yuankui will be punished!

Of these two generals today, he must disable one of them!
"Your Majesty, this Zhu Yuankui is violent and immoral. He killed the captives and ruined our dynasty's reputation. He should be severely punished to serve as an example to others!" Wen Xiang said loudly.

In the dispute between civil and military, the Grand Master has always been neutral, but because they are all scholars, they tend to favor the Wen Xiang. But now, seeing the Wen Xiang so shameless, swaying from side to side, the Tai Shi can't help frowning, and secretly sighs how the empress chose such a person. Shameless people.

Ding Junhou also laughed angrily, and shook his head speechlessly.

Wu Xiang once again solemnly said, "I still have to congratulate Your Majesty!"

The empress turned her head to look, slightly surprised.

Wu Xiang said in a steady voice, "Zhu Shouwei knew that killing the captives would bring him a reputation for brutality, but he didn't care about it, because he was loyal and couldn't bear to add trouble to His Majesty. How could His Majesty not congratulate such a loyal man?" ?”

Upon hearing this, Marquis Dingjun and Grand Master couldn't help admiring, Prime Minister Wu's level of persuasion is really superb!

Between the lines, there were no words of pleading, but they could reach the heart of the Empress.

When the empress heard the words, she pondered slightly.

In fact, she also knew that taking in the barbarians would bring many problems, and it was very likely to be thankless and lay a hidden danger.

After all, the Chixin Gate is on fire everywhere, maybe in a certain year and a certain month, the barbarians will be bewitched to make trouble again.

But the first emperor was known for his benevolence and righteousness. As his daughter, how could she have the reputation of brutality, so this barbarian had to take in if she didn't want to.

Therefore, Zhu Yuankui's actions should be severely punished to show the court's attitude.

But hearing what Wu Xiang said, it seems that there should be no punishment, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal people.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, then don't punish me."

Everyone hurriedly cupped their hands, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Then where should this barbarian be placed?" the Empress asked lightly.

The two proposals were rejected, Wen Xiang was quite embarrassed, stroked his long beard, and suddenly had an idea, "Your Majesty, why don't you send these barbarians to Zhaolie Mansion?"

Everyone was stunned, and turned their heads to look in unison.

This suggestion is too insidious!

The Zhaolie Mansion has just suffered from floods, the number of people has been greatly reduced, the land is flooded, it is difficult to cultivate, and there is a high possibility of plagues. At this time, the barbarians are resettled there, isn't it just to kill them?

"Your Majesty, since you plan to take in the barbarians, you should treat them sincerely. Only in this way can you make them return to their hearts. How can you do things secretly." Wu Xiang said with his hands clasped.

Wen Xiang suddenly became angry, and this guy actually said that he was secretly playing tricks!
"Your Majesty, I made this proposal only because Zhao Lie's mansion is sparsely populated, and it happens to be able to accommodate barbarians, and I have no second intentions!" Wen Xiang called out.

The empress nodded, and she didn't point out Wen Xiang's careful thoughts, and said lightly, "The barbarians are in the southern border and are used to the southern climate, so they should not be sent to the northern border. They can find a place in Mingling Mansion in the south." No man's land, build villages and towns, and settle them."

"In addition, send medical officers, school teachers, etc. to help the barbarians settle down, and teach them to teach, so that they can become kingly people as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the crowd praised loudly.

……

Zhanjing, a luxurious mansion.

In the study room, the eyes are full of luxury things, the bookshelf made of precious ancient wood, the pen pillow made of rare jade... all kinds of antiques and famous things are everywhere, which shows that the owner here has great power and wealth.

But at this time, the doors and windows in the study room were closed, it was extremely dark, and the air stagnated and no longer circulated.

Suddenly, someone seemed to move on the seat, and a deep and dignified voice rang out in the room, "Qin Yi, you have repeatedly ruined my good deeds, you should be punished!"

Opposite this person, there is another person sitting, the room is dark and you can't see his face, but you can hear a trace of sincerity and fear from his tone, "Your official understands, I have a plan!"

He went on to say respectfully, "Qin Yi's number one scholar, His Majesty will designate him as a guerrilla, and he can command 60 soldiers. From this, the lower officials know that they will meet with all the officials and make a concerted effort to prevent Qin Yi from joining the army. Transfer him to the imperial army and stay in Zhanjing so that we can kill him!"

"In addition to the criticism from the court, the lower officials also sent a letter to the Chixinmen, asking them to designate Qin Yi as the person who must be killed, and both sides will fight together!"

After finishing speaking, the man lowered his head, extremely submissive, not daring to look at the person opposite.

After a while, majestic words came from the opposite side, "Yes!"

Thick murderous intent spread rapidly in the house!
