Chapter 226 What would you choose

Su Shixia's words were resonant.

Ye Li didn't answer her question directly, but just looked at her quietly, his eyes were tranced and misty, as if he wanted to see the shadow of another person through her.

The weird silence lasted for a long time, so long that Su Shixia became impatient and couldn't help laughing.

"What? Could it be that Master Guoshi finally realized his guilty conscience and even forgot how to defend himself?"

"Yemou has nothing to defend himself."

Ye Li was holding a small fire tongs, carelessly flicking the silver charcoal in the small charcoal stove on the table.

"Since you have confirmed that Yemou is a treacherous and evil person, and that Yemou regards human life as worthless, then it is up to you, Wangfei, to produce evidence to testify against Yemou's 'crime', not Yemou. Someone 'proves his innocence' with empty teeth, doesn't he?"

The silver charcoal in the charcoal furnace burst out a few sparks, fell on the stone table, and quickly cooled into black fine slag.

Ye Li seemed to have found the fun of controlling the fire, and concentrated on fiddling with the charcoal, without even looking at Su Shixia, and just continued talking.

"However, Wangfei, you are right. Although Yemou is the national teacher of Dongling Kingdom now, in Yemou's view, the life and death of those people in Dongling Kingdom really have nothing to do with me."

Su Shixia's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, and the eyes that looked at Ye Li also became sharper.

Ye Li felt the change of Su Shixia's mood, but he was not angry, let alone surprised, he just flicked his sleeves, and the plain white sleeves spread out like clouds.

His voice was as cold as the wind passing through the hall.

"Similarly, Ye Mou didn't feel that he had failed His Majesty."

Ye Li said: "Your Majesty appointed Ye Mou as the national teacher. Ye Mou only needs to share His Majesty's worries and do things for His Majesty. Your Majesty alone. What does the life and death of the rest have to do with Ye Mou?"

"There is a king first, and then there is a country. If the king has any mistakes, how can the people in the country be safe?"

"The previous natural disasters were nothing more than minor problems. There are more than ten million people in Dongling Kingdom, and people are killed or injured every day. The so-called disasters are nothing more than concentrated outbreaks of deaths and injuries. As long as they are handled properly afterwards, there will be no disasters." any question."

When Ye Li said this, he slowly raised his head, and his eyes fell on Su Shixia again.

"Although Yemou thinks he has some abilities, he only dares to say that he can protect His Majesty well. Princess, you want Yemou to be responsible for all the people in Dongling Kingdom. Yemou really cannot bear this responsibility."

"Or, Yemou should ask you, Wangfei, if you sit in Yemou's current position, Wangfei, you will be responsible for the deaths and injuries of the people? How should you be responsible? Hurt for them, die for them?"

Ye Li slightly hooked his lips, "Wangfei's ability is naturally better than Ye Mou's, but... if you want to save the world, even you, Wangfei, may not be able to do it, right?"

Xiao Qin Zhan obediently sat on a chair and drank tea, listening carefully to the conversation between Su Shixia and Ye Li.

When Su Shixia questioned Ye Li, he also felt that his mother was right, Ye Li was a villain and deserved to be scolded by his mother.

But after hearing Ye Li's words, he himself was a little bit involved, and he sat there in a daze, holding the cup and even forgetting to continue drinking tea.

His little brain was running fast, trying to think about how he would answer this question if he changed himself.

He was a little worried that Su Shixia would also be questioned by Ye Li.

But Su Shixia only sneered after hearing Ye Li's words.

"Don't confuse concepts here."

Su Shixia said: "You're right. If it's just a natural disaster, you're just the national teacher of Dongling Kingdom. Naturally, you don't need to be responsible for the deaths and injuries of those people. You just need to do a good job in the rescue and reconstruction after the disaster. Just do a good job." Once this is done, no one will be able to criticize you any more.”

"But, Ye Li, feel your conscience and say, are those things that happened before really just natural disasters? That's clearly a 'man-made disaster' planned by you!"

The teacup in Su Shixia's hand slammed heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.

Little Qin Zhan couldn't help but straighten his back suddenly when he was startled by the sound.

Ye Li still had that careless and lazy look, and only glanced sideways at the cup.

"You don't have to put a high hat on me, I don't have any skills, and I dare not say that I can save all people in the world, but at least I dare to act!"

Su Shixia said: "You set up this disaster, but I did it! I can't bring those dead back to life, but I will do my best to make up for it and help them survive. Overcome this difficulty!"

"I was used by you as a knife to hurt them, and I feel ashamed. What about you? So many people have lost their families and their wives under your plan. Why can you, Ye Li, sit here and listen to the wind?" Drink tea!"

Ye Li moved her lips as if to respond.

Su Shixia snorted coldly before he spoke.

"Don't talk to me about the idea that there is a king first and then a country! I only know that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least!"

"Without the people, where would the monarch come from! Without the monarch, who would need a national teacher like you who can only serve as a dog for His Majesty!"

Su Shixia's last words were extremely serious.

Little Qin Zhan tugged on her sleeve uneasily, signaling her to be careful.

He was really afraid that Yeli would be angered by Su Shixia, and he would get angry and want to attack Su Shixia directly.

After hearing what Su Shixia said, Ye Li fell silent again.

After a while, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Su Shixia with a very complicated expression.

"So... if you were to be the national teacher, in your heart, the most important thing is the people, not your monarch?"

"good."

Su Shixia answered these two words without any hesitation.

Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh, sure enough, no matter how many years have passed, your disposition has never changed. If I had known that you were thinking like this back then..."

He whispered, the drooping eyelashes covered the emotion in his eyes, Su Shixia could only see the self-deprecating smile on his lips.

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Shixia frowned, and just about to ask more questions, she saw a guard entering the courtyard gate with a serious expression, walking towards the gazebo with big strides.

Su Shixia was wondering if something urgent had happened, so Ye Li said, "You were the first to ask me, Princess, now, it's time for Ye to ask you a question."

"Between the people and the monarch, if you choose to protect the people, then... between your closest relatives and the monarch, who do you choose?"

Su Shixia's heart sank when he heard this.

The guard came to the gazebo at this moment.

Ye Li raised his hand and gestured at him, and the guard saluted Ye Li, without any intention of shy away from Su Shixia, and said loudly: "My lord, the news just came from Pingxi Palace, because yesterday I was in a hurry Moved, King Pingxi's condition worsened, and the doctors in the mansion could no longer control King Pingxi's injury."

"Your Majesty personally issued an order to send five imperial physicians to Pingxi Palace with five imperial physicians escorted by the imperial guards. From now on, those imperial physicians will take care of King Pingxi personally!"
