Chapter 370 Justifying Qu Chu

Wang Yi came out.

"General Qu led his troops to the wolf country this time, and wiped out the wolf country in one fell swoop. This is a great achievement for the Dayu country. However, she killed the people of the wolf country.

In order to save Yudu, it's no problem for her to kill all the soldiers who left the wolf country in the defense, but why did she have to go to the wolf country to kill ordinary people?

Those wolf country people are living human lives.

Don't say that she did it to relieve Yu Du's troubles.

After she killed these wolf country soldiers, she rushed to help Yudu, and Yudu could also be relieved, there was no need to do anything extra.

No matter how much you defend General Qu, you cannot deny that she killed the people of the Wolf Country as a brutal act. "

General Pei was the first to stand up and object:

"But this is how the people of the wolf country treat the people of our Dayu country. After Langcheng and Yucheng were occupied by the people of the wolf country, they almost became empty cities.

Since the people of the Wolf Country can treat the people of the Dayu Country in this way, why can't the Dayu Country treat the people of the Wolf Country like this? "

General Pei's words were similar to what Ye Yu'an said to Mrs. Ye.

Wang Yiyi said solemnly:
"The killing of the people of Dayu by the people of the wolf country is an act of beasts, so isn't General Qu killing the people of the wolf country an act of beasts?

We cannot become beasts just because the people of the Wolf Country are beasts. "

Hearing this, Ning Youbei remembered that he had said similar things to Qu Chu before. At that time, he felt that what he said was very reasonable, but now he felt very ugly when it came out of Wang Yi's mouth.

General Pei said:

"However, if the scourge of the wolf country is not fundamentally eliminated, the wolf country will make a comeback in a few years. General Qu's actions this time are to prevent future troubles and save more people from dying in Dayu country."

Wang Yi said:
"But you can't act first because you are afraid of what will happen in the future. If everyone does this, how can there be any rules in this world? Where can there be any reason?"

Ye Yu'an was surprised to find that what Wang Yi said was the same as what his grandfather said, and he really suspected that Wang Yi was his grandfather's real grandson.

Ye Yu'an didn't refute Taifu Ye before, not because he agreed with Taifu Ye's point of view, but because he knew that he couldn't convince Taifu Ye, and didn't want to have a dispute with Taifu Ye.

But now it's different.

It is a seventh-rank official who said this now.

Ye Yuan said coldly:

"It's wrong to say that in the matter.

Rules and laws are very important, but you have all overlooked one point: that is, whether it is rules or laws, they are only valid within a certain range.

Dayu Kingdom, Nanyi Kingdom, Western Tribes and Wolf Kingdom all have their own laws. Why?Because it is a different ruler.

If the laws of the Dayu Kingdom were used by various tribes in the West, would they abide by them?

Of course not!

So are the rules.

Dayu Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years. It not only has its own laws, but also advocates benevolence, morality and enlightenment.

But these are not worth mentioning in the wolf country.

What the wolf country advocates is force and the law of the jungle.

Their various tribes often waged wars over food, cattle and sheep, and slaves. It was common for one tribe to plunder another tribe. The winner became the king and the loser became a slave.

They treat people from other tribes in their own country like this, and they expect them to treat Dayu people kindly?

Isn't it ridiculous for you to talk about benevolence and morality with them in such a wolf country?
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with what Qu Chu did to the wolf country. "

After Ye Yu'an finished speaking, many ministers were thoughtful.

But Wang Yi's thinking and cognition are also deeply ingrained, and it is impossible to change his opinion just because of Ye Yu'an's words.

"Ye Shilang is sophistry.

The benevolence and morality we advocate are the norms, why should we treat them differently?Why does it depend on whether the opponent is from the wolf country or the Nanyi people? "

General Pei let out a "chi" laugh.

"The king is in trouble, why don't you send you to the wolf country and let you educate the people of the wolf country? I'm afraid that the other party will cut off your head before you even open your mouth."

Wang Yi is a dead-headed person, and he said righteously: "If you can really educate the people of the wolf country, I don't mind sacrificing my life."

Ning Youbei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"Brother Huang, my younger brother saw that the king gave a lot of insight into the way of 'benevolence and virtue'. It would be overkill to keep him in the court. Why don't you send him to educate the people of the wolf country!"

The emperor glanced at Ning Youbei, he did not allow any tough ministers in the court to target General Qu.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor could see clearly that this Wang Yi really didn't deliberately embarrass Qu Chu, that's what he thought.

The emperor was not the most favored prince of the former emperor back then, so he was able to stand out from all his brothers and become the emperor, of course not by "benevolence", but by fighting and means.

The emperor deeply understands:

The so-called "benevolence, righteousness and morality" is a set of standards that the rulers use to rule the people. Only when the people regard it as the truth can the world be stable and peaceful.

Therefore, as the emperor, he may not follow it, but he must not say that "benevolence, righteousness and morality" are wrong, otherwise the world will be chaotic.

For example, Qu Chu killed the people of the wolf country. The emperor was very happy that Qu Chu did it, but he couldn't say that Qu Chu was right.

For people like Wang Yi who have been thoroughly brainwashed by "benevolence, righteousness and morality", the emperor can't even blame him.

But now Youbei obviously can't tolerate him.

The emperor thought about it, and it was not easy for Qu Chu. Considering that she had fought for the peace of the Dayu Kingdom for more than ten years, it must have fulfilled Youbei's wish.

It's just pity for this Wang Yi, who happened to bump into him.

The emperor thought for a moment and said:

"Wang Aiqing, what you said is correct, but there must be a timing in everything.

In the past, the power of the wolf country was strong, and it was impossible for the people of the wolf country to accept "benevolence, righteousness and morality".Now that the wolf country is in decline, it may be possible to succeed in educating them.

I see that you have a lot of insight into the way of 'benevolence and virtue', so I promoted you to be a member of the Ministry of Rites of the Fifth Grade, and sent you to the wolf country on behalf of Dayu to spread the way of 'benevolence and righteousness'.

As for the matters that need to be prepared, you report to the Ministry of Rites. "

There were still a few court ministers who wanted to take the lead, but they all died down after seeing this.

If His Majesty also asked them to follow Wang Yi to the Wolf Country, wouldn't it be the end of this life?
Wang Yi's heart also sank.

Although he said that he was willing to educate the people of the wolf country, he never thought that the emperor would really let him do so.

Wang Yi was naturally unwilling to uphold the truth and speak out in exchange for such a result, but he could not say that the emperor was wrong.

He was originally only a seventh-rank official, but the emperor made an exception and promoted him to two ranks in a row, and promoted him to a fifth-rank official. If he didn't go to the wolf country, it would be a great blessing.

Now that this is the case, Wang Yi intends to burn the boat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En. It's just that General Qu slaughtered the people of the wolf country, and I don't know how the emperor will deal with it?"

The emperor sighed in his heart: This Wang Yi is really a deadhead!

However, the emperor also knew that Qu Chu's massacre of the people of the wolf country could not be avoided no matter what.

The emperor looked at Ning Youbei, "Youbei, what do you say?"

 The author of Qu Chu's killing of the people of the wolf country is just writing about what an ancient general might do. There are countless generals who killed prisoners and slaughtered cities in history. Don't attack the author personally if you like it or not.
