Zuo Shutong was still hesitant, looking at Xia Tianzi. For him, he still felt that he could not kill like this.
It wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but looking at the thick evidence, Zuo Shutong knew that there were many people involved this time, which meant that many people had to be killed.
This is not the situation Zuo Shutong wants to see. Sometimes, too much killing is not good.
"What's the left prime minister's opinion?"
Xia Tianzi asked calmly, with no emotion or joy in his voice.
"I feel that it is appropriate to let some people go and kill some people. Of course, this part does not mean that they will have to pay some price regardless of it."
"You only need to deal with a few masterminds. These small people can be let go appropriately, and it can also reflect your majesty's kindness."
Zuo Shutong said slowly, looking at Xia Zi.
"What are the opinions of the three beloved ministers?"
Xia Zi did not answer him directly, but looked at Li Kai, Sun Yu and Fang Zhou beside him.
It is definitely impossible to just listen to the opinions of the same person as Zuo Shu.
Sun Yu slowly said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo is right. If these people want to implicate the nine tribes, I am afraid there will really be rivers of blood and make people panic."
"Your Majesty can punish some people a little, but the mastermind must be severely punished."
At this time, Fang Zhou stood up and said with a firm look: "Your Majesty, you should not be so kind to this woman. It is true that you will kill many people, but you will not be able to survive if you do it yourself. All this is their own choice."
"It won't work if you just let them go because you're worried about killing too many people. It will make others feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of them, and it won't be a big deterrent to them."
"So, these people should be killed and should not be kept."
Several people were shocked. This was the first time that Fang Zhou would object to Zuo Shutong's words. Fang Zhou had always been very supportive of Zuo Shutong's words.
I have never opposed Zuo Shutong, nor have I put forward any opinions that are different from Zuo Shutong, but this time, it is a little different.
Even Xia Zizi was surprised. He really never thought that Fang Zhou would choose to object.
But seeing that Zuo Shutong's expression didn't change much, this seemed to be a very reasonable thing.
Although Fang Zhou is Zuo Shutong's student, Fang Zhou also has his own ideas. Zuo Shutong does not restrict these. He does not feel that his apprentice must be like him or help him.
It is best to have your own opinions and ideas, and Daxia still needs more people like this.
And Fang Zhou is indeed different from Zuo Shutong. Zuo Shutong's character is more considerate of the overall situation and considers a lot. He will react that such a killing will make many people dissatisfied and worry about the negative impact it will have. .
Besides, most of these students were from poor families, so it was normal for Zuo Shutong to want to save the lives of some of them.
Too many killings are really not good for the current Daxia Dynasty. The expedition is about to start, and it is also a very troublesome thing to make people so panic.
For Fang Zhou, his character is more upright than Zuo Shutong. In his opinion, if this kind of traitor is not dealt with properly, it will only make more people feel that they have an opportunity to take advantage of him. This is definitely not a good thing.
We must strictly prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
Therefore, some killings are inevitable.
"This will not be good for His Majesty's reputation. If you kill too many people, you will eventually destabilize the court."
Zuo Shutong looked at Xia Zi with a magnanimous expression.
"You can let me be the executioner."
Everyone was shocked, this Fang Zhou was really decisive, he actually said such words directly.
Zuo Shutong also looked at his student with a look of helplessness. This was his character. He would not change the things he was sure of.
However, this is also a good thing. If there are people who object, it will be the best situation. If no one objects, Zuo Shutong will not want to see a speech in the court.
What Fang Zhou said made sense, but the two of them were considering things in different directions.
In such a situation, it is a dispute.
The three of them immediately began to express their differences. Listening to the quarrel between the three of them, Qin Yun and Li Ruyi both shrank their necks. At this time, they just couldn't get a word in.
Although their status is not low, these people who are quarreling now are the real core figures of Daxia, and these are the real bosses. It is better for the two of them not to get involved in this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, the two simply shrank to the side.
Xia Tianzi waved his hands, a little impatient with the three people's argument, and looked towards Li Kai. Among the four important ministers here, only Li Kai had not spoken yet.
"Li Aiqing, what do you think?"
Listening to Xia Tianzi's inquiry, Li Kai also took a step forward.
"I think what the three of you said is very reasonable."
After hearing this, Xia Tianzi chuckled and said: "You are naughty, but I want to listen to your opinion, not just to listen to you coming here to mess with me. Hurry up and talk about it, I know you have ideas."
Li Kai naturally knew that Xia Zi would not agree with his statement, but he had already been prepared.
"These people naturally need to be severely punished. On this point, I and Mr. Fang have the same idea. We cannot let them go easily."
Hearing this, Zuo Shutong and Sun Yu were stunned, but they were not in a hurry. There should be more to this Li Kai.
Fang Zhou and Xia Zi also listened attentively. In fact, for Xia Zi, his thoughts were consistent with Fang Zhou's. He also firmly believed that these guys should be dealt with, no matter how many people were killed.
They choose to do this themselves. There is a price to pay.
Li Kai's words still satisfied Xia Zi, but he also knew that Li Kai should have more to say. This Li Kai would consider things more comprehensively.
Ask him to refute Zuo Shutong and Sun Yu, and he will not do so.
Sure enough, I heard Li Kai's words soon.
"However, if you kill too much now, it is indeed easy to have a bad impact. The expedition is about to begin, and it is really not good if it makes people panic. However, it does not mean that there are no other ways."
"Oh? Li Aiqing, what do you think?"
Xia Zi suddenly became interested. As expected, Li Kai already had an idea. Several people also looked at Li Kai, wanting to know what Li Kai was going to do.
"We don't have to kill them now, ransack their homes, lock them up, and deal with them later."
"Or, we can deal with it secretly, and we don't need to put everything in the open."
