Volume 1 Chapter 154 You say that the Jiuzhou Chao clan is the heaven, I say that the people are the heaven
There was a hint of coldness in his voice.
But there is also a kind of coldness that makes people dare not refute.
His words were too abrupt and caused another small commotion, but not as loud as before.
Maybe it was because Wu Yanwang was present that everyone was very scared.
But no one moved, still standing there in a daze.
After all, such a result is surprising and puzzling.
Now that it has come to this, can we just end it like that?
Especially in the eyes of those onlookers, such a result is unbelievable.
Feng He’s identity is still unclear. Could it be that King Wu has recognized him?
The third prince is also scared?
So what is Feng He’s identity?
There is also Ye Tingmu, who has been in the city for only two days, but he used some unknown means to not only subdue Wan Jin, but even Lin An seemed to be convinced by him.
Who on earth is this person?
It's really just as the rumors say.
Is he just a poor scholar from Yecheng?
There are no answers to all of this, only guesses and fantasies.
They want to know it all.
But it was obvious that the Deputy City Lord Wu, who was known as the Living King of Hell, wanted to end the matter like this.
Seeing no one moving.
There was a hint of displeasure between Wu Yanwang's brows, and he spoke again, his voice even colder.
"Why, Master Zhang, didn't you hear what I said?"
Zhang Liu came back to his senses and felt Wu Yanwang's cold eyes looking at him.
Fear naturally arose in his heart. He knew the other person's character well and knew the consequences if he didn't do as he said.
That is death, a death that cannot be further died.
He quickly shouted to the constables, "Didn't you hear what the deputy city lord said? Tell them to disperse, disperse..."
Upon hearing this, a group of detectives and soldiers took action and tried to drive away the onlookers.
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows, and there was also a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
He didn't expect that this person could do things so cleanly and efficiently.
I won’t say a word of nonsense to you.
I just plan to settle this matter.
Of course he didn't want to.
After all, he was having a meal there, but the third prince broke in.
After the conflict, I was brought here for interrogation like a criminal.
He shouted, "Wait a minute!"
As soon as he heard these words, the constable stopped.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Tingmu.
The same is true for King Wu Yan.
"Why, do you have anything else to say?"
Ye Tingmu took a few steps into the hall.
Then he said, "Deputy City Lord Wu, can't we just let this go?"
The crowd exclaimed quietly.
"Oh my god, you are worthy of being a Shangyun scholar. You dare to talk to the King of Hell like this."
"Hyaku...keep your voice down."
“He who knows nothing is fearless!”
They admired Ye Tingmu's courage.
But I was also looking forward to it.
They wanted to see what this Shangyun scholar would do and how he would do it.
Or what else he wants to do!
Wu Yanwang's expression was already ugly.
At this moment, he is like the King of Hell who takes souls away.
It's so cold that it makes people feel cold.
"Heh....So what do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingmu shrugged his shoulders at first.
Then he pointed at Chaoyu.
Said: "Let him apologize."
Everyone was speechless again.
He actually made the prince apologize.
This is either crazy or stupid.
Even Chao Yu couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth at this moment.
Let myself apologize, and you, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet.
Who is Chao Yu? He is the youngest son of the current emperor and the future emperor. I apologize to you, a scholar.
joke.
King Wu Yan snorted again.
"Ye Tingmu, I already know what happened. It was indeed that old slave who did it, but the man is already dead. How dare you claim that you are innocent? What virtue and ability do you have, and what basis do you have to dare ask the Third Prince to apologize to you?"
The atmosphere reached a freezing point, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
Lin An subconsciously wiped the sweat from his palms, his eyes full of confusion.
The goal has been achieved, so it’s time to disperse, and Ye Tingmu didn’t suffer any loss.
Why did this happen suddenly?
Facing the rebuke from Wu Yanwang.
Ye Tingmu was not panicked at all.
He said calmly: "Of course he doesn't have to apologize to me, but..." He paused here, then pointed at Wan Jin and continued speaking with a heavier tone.
"He needs to apologize."
The King of Hell narrowed his eyes and swept them over Wan Jin.
"He, you want the current Third Prince to apologize to a son of a wealthy merchant. Is it you who is still asleep, or is it me?"
Wanjin was panicked, wondering why he was involved again.
What the hell?
However, he held a grudge against Deputy City Lord Wu for calling him the son of a wealthy businessman.
Chao Yu stood up suddenly.
"What a joke! I, a prince, apologize to him. Why would he say that I didn't do anything to him? Even if I did, he doesn't deserve an apology from me."
Ye Tingmu didn't take it seriously and continued, "We were having a good meal when His Highness suddenly barged in and asked that old servant to hit him. Third Prince, do you think you did nothing wrong?"
"So what if I was wrong? I am the current third prince. This world belongs to my dynasty. You want me to apologize to him. It is impossible..."
Ye Tingmu suddenly shouted and interrupted him.
"So what if he's a prince? He can do whatever he wants."
"If there were no people to pay their taxes, and no soldiers to protect their country, it would depend on your dynasty to be able to do this."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. What's wrong with common people? What's wrong with the sons of merchants? If there were no such people, what would the Kyushu be like?"
"Where do the soldiers get their money to support themselves? Where do all of you sitting here get your salaries, grains to eat, and wine to drink?"
"Without the people, there is no country. Without the country, there is no king. A king should love his people like his own children and follow their wishes. Only then can he establish a great dynasty. The people are his children and also his heaven. Only then can he have the Son of Heaven. Third Prince, I heard that you are the future emperor. What reason do you have to look down on the people of this nine states?"
His words were sharp and every word hit home.
In this chaotic world, no one had ever mentioned such words before him, nor had anyone dared to mention them.
But today, he expressed the thoughts of everyone present.
These remarks were particularly well received by the people around.
Yes, if we were not here, who would produce food and who would provide men?
Since ancient times, the lowly lives of the untouchables have been deeply rooted in their bones.
They have never been respected and have always been just ants in the eyes of those in power.
An insignificant existence.
But now Ye Tingmu gave them unprecedented evaluation.
It turns out that they are the sky of an empire and the most important existence.
There was a strange gleam in his eyes again at this moment.
There was a bit more admiration and recognition in the look he gave Ye Tingmu.
He even straightened his spine unconsciously, which had been bent by the powerful.
Lin An muttered to himself, and although he looked straight at the scholar in front of him, his heart was looking up to him.
Just a few short sentences contain the great principles of governing a country.
The sages of the past all ruled the people with force, making them afraid and fearful.
Let them flock to it and be willing to be ants.
However, the method of governing the people that Ye Tingmu mentioned made them feel at home and supported by the people.
Conquer the people with virtue and all the people will be united.
If there really is such a country in the world today, it would be unprecedentedly powerful.
At least Lin An didn't dare to think about it, nor had he ever seen it.
Even if you search through the books of the past for thirty thousand years, you may not find it.
