The next day, Qilin Hall.
Looking at Zheng Guo standing among the ministers, Ying Zheng was a little surprised.
After all, although Zheng Guo is an official, he never likes to interfere in the affairs of the court. He usually spends his time in the mansion studying farm tools and other things.
Since he is here today, there must be something important.
Sure enough, when Ying Zheng looked at her, Zheng Guo had already stood up from the crowd, saluted Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I wish to see you."
Regarding Zheng Guo, although Ying Zheng would not be as tolerant as Ran Fang, he was also kinder to him.
He looked at Zheng Guo with a smile in his eyes and said, "Get up and answer."
Hearing this, Zheng Guo stood up and looked at him respectfully, with a little reverence in his expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I'm here today. I have something to discuss with Your Majesty."
"I heard that there has been progress in compiling books in the past few days, and each family has handed over the books compiled in the past few days to His Majesty's hands."
"Although this number is not much, it is also a great progress for this book repairing matter."
"However, some contents in this book, although they have been compiled, have not been confirmed. No one knows whether they are true or false."
"Therefore, I beg your Majesty, why not make this book known to the world and accept the test."
"Your Majesty originally compiled the book in order to be recognized by the people of the world. If you act in this way, you will not only be praised by the world, but you can also test the authenticity of the contents in this book. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
After Zheng Guo finished speaking, the ministers standing behind him started talking about it.
In their opinion, this book should be the exclusive property of the nobles. After Ying Zheng compiled the book, if it was useful to the government, it should naturally be handed over to officials like them for handling.
And now that Zheng Guo said this, didn't he want to hand over these books to the people of the world?
So, do they still have the privileges of being nobles?
"Your Majesty," a minister stood up from the crowd, saluted Ying Zheng, then turned his attention to Zheng Guo, and then said, "I think this matter is inappropriate."
"Let's not talk about whether this Guizhou leader has time to read. How many of them can read?"
"Furthermore, I believe that the most important thing now is for Mr. Zheng to do his own thing well first and satisfy the problem of the head of Guizhou who is naked, hungry and has no choice in food."
"Instead of standing here and asking His Majesty to share these books with them."
"If you really do this, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse?"
After the minister finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and echoed: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Ma said is reasonable."
"As a doctor, Mr. Ma is most concerned about the food issues in Guizhou. He knows what Guizhou needs best."
"Although Mr. Zheng is here to relieve His Majesty's worries, isn't the problem of hunger and fullness the most important thing to solve?"
After speaking, all the ministers spoke one after another and said in unison: "I second my opinion."
Zheng Guo, who had been humiliated, had a calm expression on his face, and his words did not have any impact on him at all.
He knew that these people would not let these things out easily.
Just like when he first heard Chun Yuxian say this, it was hard to accept it. After all, he was also a noble. In his opinion, Guizhou was not worthy of studying. As long as they could live a good life under the protection of Da Qin, it would be good. .
"What the ministers said makes sense."
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at him with some confusion.
Just now he said that he would send the books out, and now he said that he would agree with them. When did Zheng Guo become so easy to talk to?
Just when they were stunned, Zheng Guo changed the topic and continued: "If it is true as the ministers said, as long as they are given a prosperous life, then everyone in the world will love the Qin Dynasty."
"But have you ever thought about how they would treat Da Qin if they were really made rich?"
"When Your Majesty was able to fight against the Six Kingdoms and return victorious, it was firstly because of destiny, and secondly, because our Great Qin was dominating among the Six Kingdoms, and our strength was far superior to them in every aspect."
"Now, if their strength exceeds that of Great Qin, will they definitely turn to Great Qin in the future instead of the old country?"
"How can ministers guarantee this?"
"But if His Majesty lets everyone in this book know that His Majesty's unification of the world is God's will, will they really fight against God's will?"
"In addition, Da Qin is willing to regard everyone as Da Qin's citizens. When they feel they belong, they will naturally stop thinking about that."
"Even if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a good thing to increase the strength of the old Qin?"
At this time, everyone was silent. After all, no one could guarantee that the old head of Guizhou had really put down all those "hatreds between family and country".
Even they knew that these people not only did not give up, but even thought about destroying Da Qin at any time.
For a while, the Qilin Palace became quiet.
On the other hand, Ying Zheng looked at Zheng Guo with burning eyes, as if looking at other people through him.
From the first sentence Zheng Guo said, she felt that Zheng Guo's speech today was a little different from his past style.
But after hearing it, he realized that this should be what Ran Fang had said.
Because some of these words were originally spoken by Ran Fang in Xianyang Prison. The ministers in the court did not know about this matter, and Zheng Guo did not know about it.
Therefore, he understood that this matter was probably Ran Fang's intention.
"What you say makes sense, but there must be someone with bad intentions in this Guizhou leader's heart. How should we deal with it?"
Hearing this, the ministers in the hall all felt that Ying Zheng's words did not agree with what Zheng Guo said.
For a time, the faces of the ministers in the court showed joy.
Especially Mr. Ma, who spoke just now, said with a somewhat gloating tone: "Your Majesty is wise."
"If this book is seen by those with evil intentions, it will inevitably be detrimental to Great Qin."
"But if this book is really for people in the old Qin Dynasty to read, and no one else is allowed to read it, I'm afraid it will cause even bigger problems."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned and said nothing.
As prime ministers, Li Si and Feng Quji were the two people with the highest official positions present. Seeing that His Majesty was already displeased, they naturally wanted to come to the rescue.
Especially Li Si, His Majesty has become somewhat alienated from him due to Ran Fang's presence during this period, and he cannot allow the matter to develop like this.
However, he could see that the displeasure in Ying Zheng's eyes was not directed at Zheng Guo. Especially when Zheng Guo was speaking, Ying Zheng had obvious thoughts in his eyes, which showed that Ying Zheng was still willing to consider this matter. .
In this case, he naturally followed what Ying Zheng had in mind.
"Your Majesty, I think Zheng Guo's words are reasonable."
Feng Quji, who was about to stand up, was obviously startled when he heard Li Si's words. He thought Li Si said he disagreed, but he didn't say the opposite.
Fortunately, he saved His Majesty from worrying because he had colluded with Li Si.
So, he stood up with his head held high, saluted Ying Zheng, glanced at Li Si with disdain, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate."
Everyone's eyes were on the two of them, but it had been a long time since the two prime ministers had argued in court...
