My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 870: You're just dealing with disaster victims, but you're using military tactics? Can you two brothers save some energy?
Zhang Liang's mind flashed back to the memories of his time in Zheng County, and the smile on his face unconsciously became a little more gentle: "Because they are worth it!"

"I used to think that people of humble origins were mean, rude, unfaithful and unrighteous."

"But this time, I followed Lord Chang'an to Zheng County to help with disaster relief, and I saw a different scene."

"Before Chang'an Jun entered Zheng County, riots almost broke out in Zheng County. The victims had already had conflicts with the county soldiers and tried to loot the granary."

"After Lord Chang'an brought food into Zheng County, the people of Zheng County were all eager to help the victims under Lord Chang'an's orders."

“Up to this point, the victims were just following orders.”

Zhang Liang's smile became more gentle. "Of course, because we tried our best to rescue the victims, their attitude towards us gradually changed from caution to awe, and finally to love and trust."

"I will never forget the moment when I led my guards to patrol the forest and suddenly drew my sword when I saw dozens of disaster victims."

"Those dozens of victims didn't even show any fear of me, let alone draw their swords against me. Instead, they subconsciously turned around and looked behind them, drew their swords and joined me in the fight, and helped me and my men kill the herd of wild boars behind them!"

Just by listening to Zhang Liang's description, the Qin emperor and his ministers could imagine the scene at that time.

Feng Quji, Li Si and other court officials couldn't help but show a look of surprise in their eyes.

Faced with the officials and soldiers who suddenly drew their swords, the common people did not have the slightest fear of being arrested. Instead, they subconsciously thought that there was danger behind them and that the officials and soldiers drew their swords to protect them!
Not only that, the common people did not run away when they subconsciously thought there was danger behind them, but instead took the initiative to draw their swords and fight the enemy together with the officials and soldiers? !
This is the people of my Great Qin?!
Chunyu Yue waved his fist vigorously, wishing he could shout excitedly: Xunzi, turn on the microphone!
Even Ying Zheng said with emotion: "The army and the people are of one mind! The subjects trust each other!"

"This is truly the prosperous era I have always dreamed of!"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I thought that was the most memorable scene of my relief work."

“But it’s wrong to be humble.”

"We are small, so we need to travel back and forth to multiple counties and towns to rescue disaster victims."

"Whenever we settled the victims in one place and were ready to go to the next place to continue helping the victims, the local victims would secretly cook with their treasured food or even dried meat, and then chase us, intercept us, and cut us off from behind. They would put the meals they cooked and the wild vegetables they picked into our hands, hang them around our necks, stuff them into our clothes, and even fill our carriages with them."

"Before Minister Su Jiao joined me, he had been chased and intercepted by the disaster victims in Zheng County once, so he was prepared. Before daybreak, he led us to leave Tong County by a detour according to the marching strategy."

"But I never thought that the victims would send the young men who used to serve as scouts to explore everywhere, and then surround our troops again. As long as there is one person who can put a piece of wild vegetable on the body of the rescuer, we will not be able to leave Tong County!"

As he was speaking, Zhang Liang laughed, not caring that he was in the Qilin Palace, and said, "I wouldn't even dare to think about it in my dreams."

"I have studied the art of war for more than ten years, but the first time I used it was to fight against the disaster victims. My purpose was to avoid the food they forced upon me!"

If Zhang Liang had not been raised by many people in the court.

If Zhang Liang had not been sent by Ying Chengjiao.

Just based on these words of Zhang Liang, the emperor and his ministers of Qin were able to expel him from the Qilin Palace.

In order to avoid being forced to give you food by the disaster victims, you are even resorting to military tactics?
Nonsense can't be so outrageous!

But Ying Zheng, Wang Ben, Ying Le and others watched Zhang Liang grow up with their own eyes, and they knew very well that Zhang Liang was not the kind of person who would flatter.

The fact that Ying Chengjiao was a personal envoy also made other court officials trust Zhang Liang more.

So when he heard Zhang Liang's words, Yuan Shou finally couldn't help but look at Li Si and Han Fei, and asked with a voice full of joy:
"Doctor Fei, speak!"

"Shang Qingsi, speak!"

Xunzi is dead and can no longer speak.

But Xunzi’s two direct disciples are standing in this Qilin Hall!
Come on!
Open the mic!!!

Lü Buwei murmured in a trembling voice: "Since ancient times, providing food and drink has been the highest courtesy of the people to the officials and soldiers!"

"This time, the people of our Great Qin not only welcomed us with food and drink, but also tried their best to feed us. On the contrary, the officials and soldiers of our Great Qin, thinking of the livelihood of the people, used military tactics to avoid it!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Lü Buwei bowed to Ying Zheng and shouted excitedly: "The people are on my side!"

"Chang'an Jun has pointed out the way for our Great Qin to win the will of heaven and the hearts of the people!"

"This move by Chang'an Jun is better than the court's twenty years of governing the people!"

"As long as our Great Qin rescues other places like Chang'an Jun rescued Zheng County this time, the people of all places will be loyal to us!"

Ying Chengjiao's actions in rescuing Zheng County this time have paved a new way for the Qin Dynasty to govern the people, and are also an excellent experiment in benevolent governance!
As long as Great Qin treats the Qin people with sincerity, as long as Great Qin tries its best to help the Qin people when disaster strikes.

How could the Qin people not be loyal to the Great Qin!
Chun Yuyue looked up at the dome with his eyes out of focus, muttering, "What is benevolence? This is benevolence!"

"What is a prosperous age? This is a prosperous age!"

"What is the will of the people? This is the will of the people!"

"What comes from you will return to you!"

"When a ruler practices benevolence, the people will love him and die for him!"

"Even the rule of Yao and Shun is no more than this! No more than this!"

Indeed, Ying Chengjiao’s methods of providing relief to disaster victims were different from those described in Zhou Li and Mencius.

But Ying Chengjiao achieved an effect that even the legendary Yao and Shun era could not achieve!

Chunyu Yue only regretted that he had not seen the scene described by Zhang Liang with his own eyes. Otherwise, even if he died instantly in Zheng County, he would have died without regrets!
Zhang Liang's smile became even brighter: "Yes, looking through all the poems and books I have read, none of them can be as shocking as what I have seen!"

"Chang'an Jun originally had no intention of offering sacrifices in Zheng County."

"But after seeing this scene with my own eyes, Chang'an Jun was also moved by the kindness of the victims and the affection between the military and the people."

"That is why Lord Chang'an has just made up his mind to build an altar in Zheng County to worship the Earth Dragon!"

After a few moments of silence, Ying Zheng smiled, obviously feeling much more relaxed, and said, "I was not able to personally witness the scene Mr. Zhang described."

"But even if I just heard it, I felt fascinated."

"It is understandable that Lord Chang'an is willing to reveal his identity as a great witch and offer sacrifices to the earth dragon for such a common people!"

Ying Zheng finally felt relieved when he learned that Ying Chengjiao decided to offer sacrifices to the earth dragon because he was moved by the performance of the victims, rather than making the decision as soon as he rushed to the disaster area.

Because Ying Zheng knew very well that although Ying Chengjiao did not think that the common people were lowly from the bottom of his heart, the kindness and respect he showed to the common people were unmatched by all the nobles in the world combined, and although Ying Chengjiao was willing to put in a lot of effort, spend a lot of thought, and even take some risks for the common people.

But Ying Chengjiao's kindness and dedication to the people of Qian have their limits!

Otherwise, Ying Chengjiao would not have hidden all the craftsmanship in his mind without leaving a single detail before Ying Zheng took power.

The only people in this world that Ying Chengjiao could risk everything to protect are Madam Han and Ying Zheng!

Since Ying Chengjiao chose to sacrifice to the earth dragon out of his emotion and love for the disaster victims, and not out of his desire to protect Madam Han and Ying Zheng, it means that sacrificing to the earth dragon was not fatally dangerous to Ying Chengjiao.

But before meeting Ying Chengjiao, Ying Zheng couldn't completely put his mind at ease, so he said immediately: "Chang'an Jun is the first great wizard in the history of my Great Qin."

"Today, the Great Shaman of the Great Qin is offering sacrifices to the Earth Dragon. As the King of Qin, I should go with you!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Wei Liao couldn't hold it anymore.

That's enough you two brothers!!!
Chang'an Jun, as the number one general of the Qin Dynasty, disregarded his personal safety and went deep into the disaster area, so that I had to think about how the Qin Dynasty would respond if the enemy country sent troops at this moment, and even think about what the Qin Dynasty would do if Chang'an Jun died in the disaster area.

And now, Your Majesty, you are going to the disaster area in person? !
Wei Liao stepped out without hesitation and bowed, saying, "The disaster area is dangerous! If the earth dragon turns over again, or a plague breaks out, the king may be in danger!"

"I beg Your Majesty to be merciful to yourself and not take risks. I hope Your Majesty will stay in Xianyang!"

Lü Buwei also stepped out and bowed, saying, "I second the motion!"

"Chang'an Jun did not ask the king to go to the disaster area to preside over the sacrifice together. As a prince of the Great Qin, a senior minister, and a feudal lord, Chang'an Jun is also qualified to preside over the sacrifice to the earth dragon, who is a minister god!"

"I beg the king to be merciful with himself!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Liao couldn't help but look at Lu Buwei with gratitude.

The king and Lord Chang'an are indeed too reckless. Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty has a great man like Marquis Wenxin to work with me...

However, Wei Liao's inner thoughts were not over yet when he heard Lü Buwei continue to say: "Although it is still a bit weak for Chang'an Jun to lead the earth dragon sacrifice alone, there is no need for the king to go to Zheng County in person."

"I, your Majesty, am willing to share your worries!"

Wei Liao:!!!
Wei Liao stared at Lu Buwei in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

It’s his mother’s fault!

Chang'an Jun is crazy, the king is crazy, Prime Minister, are you crazy too?
If you, Prime Minister, are not in the disaster area, then who will be responsible for the impact caused by the blast furnace, water pestle, water mill and other equipment developed by Changan Jun?

Wei Liao hurriedly said, "I think there is no need for the Prime Minister to go to Zheng County in person."

"It is enough for Lord Chang'an to be the chief priest of the Earth Dragon!"

Chunyu Yue, Yuan Shou, Feng Quji and other close court officials all stepped out and bowed, "We are willing to share your worries!"

That was a grand scene far surpassing the rule of Yao and Shun, and it was also the first sacrifice of the first great witch in thousands of years!

If the Confucian scholars could see such a magnificent scene with their own eyes, they would die without regrets!
Feng Quji, Li Si and others simply did not believe that such a grand scene could appear in the Great Qin. Only when they saw it with their own eyes could they believe that the people in the disaster-stricken areas would really be as Zhang Liang said.

As for the rest of the court officials?

Who wouldn’t want to go to Zheng County in person and verify the authenticity and witness history with their own eyes!
Only Ying Le sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, even smiling and stroking his beard.

This is a sacrificial activity, and no one can be missing, and their Fengchang Yamen cannot be missing!

Wei Liao looked at the court officials with round eyes: "Everyone, are you not afraid that the Earth Dragon will turn over again?!"

Ying Le then took a step forward and chuckled, "Chang'an Jun has already arrived in Zheng County, what do we have to fear?"

"The Earth Dragon may say hello to our Great Qin, but it will definitely not turn the tables again!"

Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "What Fengchang said is very good!"

"Since all of you dear ministers have this intention, then please follow me!"

All the courtiers except Wei Liao bowed their hands and cheered: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only Wei Liao grabbed his already sparse hair and sighed bitterly.

孽 孽!
