"Zhang Yi, have you ever thought about what will be the fate of your and my descendants if the temple stands still in a hundred years?

"Zhang Yi knows the will of the commander, however, the temple must not be moved, and the commander is asked to put the kingdom first!" Zhang Yi knew that Ye Gucheng didn't like this, but he had to stick to his position.

That's it!

Ye Gucheng sighed secretly, he knew that it was not easy to completely bring down the temple, but he didn't expect that after so many things, the kingdom was almost destroyed under the instigation of the temple, and his courtiers, the most relied on assistants, were still unwilling to face the temple head-on!

Zhang Yi did not forget the purpose of staying, even if the timing was not right at this time, he still had to say something, and immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Commander, the minister has something to do." ”

"You don't need to say much about pardoning the courtiers and generals, this matter has been decided. Ye Gucheng knew what Zhang Yi wanted to say.

"Commander-in-chief. Zhang Yiyi gritted his teeth and knelt down heavily: "The commander's insistence on condemning the main general will definitely cause turmoil in the army, and everyone will be in danger. ”

"Acting in a hurry?" Ye Gucheng's face sank, and he said coldly: "The right minister thinks that this handsome man is acting in a hurry?"

Zhang Yi knew that he had made a mistake, and he was taken by the majesty of Ye Gucheng, so he didn't dare to say anything for a while.

"The country has its own laws, the family has its own rules, there are no rules, and the laws of the kingdom have never been ornaments. Ye Gucheng sighed, slowly helped Zhang Yi up, and continued: "Zhang Yi, I know that you are dedicated to the country, but I hope you will understand and see it thoroughly, why, I insist on condemning these civil and military generals." ”

"The minister is stupid, please give the commander advice. ”

"I don't know if Zhang Yike has heard a sentence that a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge?"

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "The minister has never heard of it, please make it clear to the commander." ”

"Zhang Yi, let me ask you again, do you know what a country is?"

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said solemnly: "The country should refer to the kingdom. ”

"No!" Ye Gucheng said indifferently: "The kingdom is the kingdom of the king, and the country, the king, the subjects, and the people, are the common homeland. ”

Zhang Yi was stunned again, what is the difference?

Ye Gucheng couldn't help but think of the scene of the people crying and kneeling, and sighed: "Zhang Yi, Huaxia is not a country in the Western Regions, we want to give our people a real place to live and live, so that they can be fed, clothed, and warm forever from the suffering of war." ”

"I know it's difficult, in troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and ordinary people from poor backgrounds are even more worthless, I believe Zhang Yi knows this better than anyone else!"

It is undeniable that Ye Gucheng's words did poke Zhang Yi's heart, his family background is not good, he has been poor since he was a child, therefore, he is more attentive than anyone else, he has not entered the academy, his family does not allow it, besides, the academy does not accept children from untouchable backgrounds, so he can only eavesdrop on himself through the wall, in order to be able to read more words, like a treasure, pick up the broken books discarded by others, the sky pays off, he finally climbs to the peak of life with his own talents, but even so, in the court, the noble-born officials still despise him behind his back and disdain to be with him。

"I want to change all this, I don't want a kingdom, I just want a country, where everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low! Ye Gucheng understands better than anyone the importance of a legal society, at least, he has been fortunate to survive in such a country.

These words are shocking and unacceptable in this era!

Even though Zhang Yi was accustomed to Ye Gucheng's incompatible style, he was completely stunned by the words in front of him.

"I know it's difficult! I don't dare to expect the kingdom to be able to achieve the rule of law!" Ye Gucheng looked at Zhang Yi deeply, and then said solemnly: "However, the kingdom can become a country, and the essence of the country is in the people, not in the subjects, and in the soldiers, not in the generals. ”

Zhang Yi frowned, Ye Gucheng said that the military generals of the civil servants were not as important as the civilians, and he could not agree with this, so he saluted and said: "Commander, whether a kingdom will be prosperous for a long time depends on the way to govern the country with the same heart and the king." ”

"That's right, so Ben Shuai is pleased, at least the kingdom still has the right minister, Xuanyuan Xue, Xuanyuan Jianhong and others to protect with one heart and one mind. When Ye Gucheng said this, his words changed again, and he said solemnly: "But, Right Minister, have you ever wondered where our Huaxia army came from, and why did they sacrifice their lives to protect the kingdom?"

Zhang Yi was silent.

"You often talk about the will of the people, but what is the real will of the people? Is it true that civil officials and high-ranking officials are generous, and military generals are added to the rank of knights? No, this is not the will of the people, this is power! The will of the people comes from the people, and what are the soldiers guarding by the soldiers at the lowest level of our Chinese people? No, what are they guarding their homeland, a country where their relatives can sit back and relax and be protected from the suffering of war. ”

"Why did the Western Regions Kingdom fall so quickly? Is it really because of the interference of the temple? No! What really destroyed them was that they ignored the will of the people, if the Western Regions Kingdom treats the common people well, the whole country will inevitably exude a heroic and righteous spirit, the army and the people are united, and everyone is fighting bravely to protect their homeland, how can we conquer the entire Western Regions with only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses?"

At this moment, Zhang Yi must admit that Ye Gucheng's foresight and wisdom far surpassed him!

"On the way back to the royal capital, I saw soldiers who hurt and disturbed the people! But more often than not, soldiers who maintained order and drove out rioters! At that moment, they were guarding the country, the kingdom they trusted, and the homeland they loved. ”

Zhang Yi suddenly repented, bowed down and said: "Commander, the minister knows that he is wrong! Minister, ashamed!"

"Zhang Yi, our country has changed! The soldiers understand the law of the country and recognize it even more! Otherwise, why would only a few hundred thousand of the millions of soldiers in the country participate in the riots?" Ye Gucheng's voice became higher and higher, and he continued to say in a deep voice: "Therefore, I conclude that severely punishing the civil and military generals who violate the law will only win the hearts of the army and the people, and the kingdom also needs to sound the alarm for all those who are unwilling to keep to themselves." ”

Having said that, if Zhang Yi doesn't understand Ye Gucheng's aspirations, he is not worthy of being a minister.

I saw Zhang Yi salute respectfully and said: "The commander is wise, the kingdom is fortunate! The minister will start to do it, but all the generals and officials involved will be severely punished according to the law." ”

I don't know why, when the matter came, Ye Gucheng hesitated, if he really set the law, there is no doubt that most of them will suffer the crime of extermination, and he has experienced a wonderful journey back from the dead, and deeply feels the importance of family and affection for everyone!

Killing one person destroys a family, not to mention destroying countless innocent families who have been implicated!

Seeing Zhang Yi retreating, his heart softened, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yi is slow." ”

Zhang Yi was slightly stunned, and saluted: "What else is the matter with the commander?"

"There is no urgency in the matter of punishment, there is a more important thing for you to do now!"

"Please show me the commander. ”

"I need you to go to the prison for me. ”

The royal capital has suffered three upheavals in one day!

The soldiers besieged the royal capital, Ye Gucheng returned, and today's officials raided their homes.

What is rare is that although the people are a little panicked, they are more applauding.

The palatial mansions were filled with Chinese soldiers, and without exception, the families of the offending officials were escorted out, including children, old people, crying, and numbness.

Huangpu Hua knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon! Looking at the disgusted faces of the people, he smiled bitterly and bitterly!

In the attic, the young man stared at the group of soldiers escorting their families as usual, and slowly took a sip of his teacup.

"Young Master, Ye Gucheng is safe and sound, the temple must not dare to do anything more, will we stop the march?" The voice of the attendant was very low.

"No, the plan is still the same, anyway, it's all the people from the Western Regions who die!" the young man drank the tea in his cup as if nothing had happened.

"But if the temple retreats, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it. ”

"The arrow is ready to be sent, I have to send it! Temple, there is no way back!" the young man gently placed the teacup on the dining table and slowly got up.

The retinue is no longer multilingual, and follows.

The prison, the sacred place that made the jailers out of the limelight, has now become their pins and needles.

Every sneeze of the characters in the prison is enough to make their hearts tremble, and they dare not offend, let alone slack off.

It is not uncommon to kill the ministers of the court, but it is impossible to kill more than a dozen important ministers at one time, they are not immortals, and they cannot judge who is beheaded and who is pardoned, so they can only serve carefully without discrimination, not only cleaning every cell where the courtiers are held spotlessly, but even providing tea sets, tables and cushions.

Zhang Yi's arrival confirmed the jailer's speculation even more, and the commander was just angry!

Xuanyuan Xue didn't know the situation outside, and at this moment, she was angrily reprimanding Xuanyuan Jianhong.

And Xuanyuan Jianhong was obediently trained, and he did not have the slightest majesty in the main hall.

Zhang Yi witnessed this scene, smiled meaningfully, and pushed the cell door in.

"Right phase?" Xuanyuan Xue was shocked when she saw Zhang Yi also appear. "Why did you get locked up by the commander?"

When he said this, Zhang Yi stumbled and almost fell.

I saw Zhang Yi cough lightly, ordered the jailer to retreat, and immediately, said with a wry smile: "General Xuanyuan, can't you say an auspicious word?"

"Didn't you provoke the commander to be imprisoned?" Xuanyuan Xue couldn't help but look up and down suspiciously.

"No!" Zhang Yi replied angrily.

"Then what are you doing here?" Xuanyuan Xue was even more puzzled, the cell was not a good place.

。。。。。。

Zhang Yi was speechless for an instant.

Xuanyuan Jianhong still understands some human feelings, and hurriedly asked Zhang Yi to sit down and speak.

Zhang Yi praised with satisfaction: "It's still General Jianhong who is sensible, and he has nothing to teach General Xue." ”

Xuanyuan Xue rolled her eyes directly.

"Alright! Zhang Yi's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Actually, I came here in place of the commander this time. ”

Commander?

Xuanyuan Xue and Xuanyuan Jianhong were suddenly overjoyed.
