Chapter 191 People's Desires [Part 1](2/2)
And in the morning of this day, someone finally took the initiative to report this matter.
However, the memorial was not made in the name of an individual, but in the form of a petition for the people.
Although the thing is still the same thing, it is because of a different way.
Then the result would be different.
Now I can petition His Majesty for the people, and my beheading will definitely be avoided.
Those who could not petition for the people were beheaded instead.
If word of this spreads, public opinion will definitely explode.
This shows that on this serious issue that is kept secret.
These ministers are still very cautious and walk on thin ice.
In fact, this kind of thing is easy to understand. There are really not many idiots who can appear in the court.
Even if there are idiots, they have been mostly eliminated in the five years since Wu Dynasty took office.
What's more, everyone knows that if the two countries are at war with each other, if they don't do it right, they will be accused of treason with foreign countries.
This is a serious crime that will cost you your head, and even your whole family will be executed.
No one should be careful on issues like this.
After Wu Zhao heard the words of the Minister of Rites below, he did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked around at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and then asked: "What do you, my beloved ministers, do you think about this matter?"
view?
Of course there are opinions.
However, you have not said that everyone is forgiven. Who dares to directly express his opinion?
If you were caught and beheaded directly for a reason, that would be a bad deal.
Wang Lin doesn't care about this.
After all, Wang Lin originally sided with Ning Chen.
"Your Majesty, this is clearly a vicious plan proposed by the Western Regions to split our Wu Dynasty.
I believe that this matter must be firmly opposed.
It is even unrealistic that we should directly launch another attack on the Western Region and directly kill them."
Wang Lin felt that the best way to divert attention was to directly start another war with the Western Region.
Of course, the scale of the war does not need to be large, it only needs a local battle.
For example, let's seize a Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions again.
This allows everyone to see that the advantage lies entirely with the Wu Dynasty.
Then public opinion will naturally know how unreasonable the demands made by the Western Regions are.
After Wang Lin put forward his suggestion, the civil and military officials in the court fell silent.
It's not that they agreed with Wang Lin's proposal, but that they wanted to wait for Wu Zhao to pardon their innocence.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I believe that everyone should be pardoned and free to speak their minds freely." Lin Dunxin waited for a moment and then stood up and said.
Wu Zhao pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, no matter what you say in the court today, you will not be punished for your words."
With such a guarantee from Wu Zhao, everyone went straight to full fire and started dealing all kinds of damage to Wang Lin.
In fact, the output point of view is not a wise point of view.
The main focus is on wasting people and wasting money.
There is also a focus on people who are tired.
Furthermore, by occupying a Buddhist kingdom in this way, compared with agreeing to give away all the Buddhist kingdoms after suing for peace in the Western Regions, the benefits obtained after suing for peace are greater.
Anyway, after all, their main argument is that they hope to seek peace.
After Wang Lin waited for these people to be exported, he asked bluntly and angrily: "You are now sending a great hero who has contributed to the Wu Dynasty and the human race to the enemy country.
What is the difference between this and our direct surrender?
What's the difference between doing this and directly betraying the country for glory?"
Hearing Wang Lin directly slap such a big label on his head, the person who had just raised objections couldn't accept it.
"You can't say that, Mr. Wang, we are just discussing the matter.
We did not say that we would send the champion to the Western Regions.
The Prime Minister cannot just accuse us of such treason and treason."
Wherever there is such an objection, there are echoing voices everywhere.
"That's right, that's right!"
"We can't afford it, Mr. Wang, when you fabricate accusations against us like this!"
Wang Lin asked loudly again: "Then tell me, if we don't send the champion to the Western Regions, how will we get the benefits you mentioned!"
The person who just spoke continued to say: "Can we continue to talk about the matter of Prime Minister Wang?
What's more, what we are talking about now is just news from the people.
We are just telling the truth and reporting the most real situation among the people to His Majesty.
Let His Majesty know what the people's wishes are."
Wu Zhao's face condensed slightly after hearing this.
Wang Lin even said angrily: "I don't believe in the public opinion of our Wu Dynasty, which is to send meritorious officials to the enemy's country."
The other party retorted again: "Mr. Wang, public opinion does not mean that the champion must be sent to the Western Regions. We just don't want to fight anymore.
After all, years of fighting are indeed quite difficult for everyone."
At this time, it was Lu Gao's turn to step forward.
"As the Minister of Household Affairs, I think I still have some say in whether the people are living a miserable life or not.
According to the investigation conducted by our Ministry of Household Affairs among the people, since our Wu Dynasty started the war with Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom and the Western Regions.
Not only were the lives of the people of my Wu Dynasty not affected in any way, but every household had twice as much food as in previous years.
At the same time, the income of each household has more than doubled than in the past.
