Chapter 360: Ministers with Super Imagination
"The battle to destroy Jin produced many generals for our Great Qin."
"All meritorious officials will be rewarded according to regulations."
When Ying Yuan said this, he was greeted with praises from many officials.
Rewards and punishments are clear, this is their good emperor.
After a pause, Ying Yuan said something shocking enough:
"Over the years, I have been burdened by state affairs, worried and toiling, and my health is not as good as before."
"Therefore, I have decided that from now on, all important matters of the court will be handed over to Prime Minister Cao."
"If you encounter any hesitation, come and ask me."
As soon as the words fell.
All the civil and military officials opened their eyes wide, appearing extremely shocked.
Is this the rhythm of "resigning from office and retiring"?
Hand over all the power in the court to Cao Cao?
Your Majesty is in the prime of life, what happened?
Why would there be any thought of slacking off in government?
Suddenly, they realized.
It seems to have started since the Chu State attacked Qin more than ten years ago.
The emperor in front of them seemed to have never had a good rest.
Maybe I'm really tired.
Today, the power of the Qin Dynasty is at its peak.
There's nothing much to worry about.
In this case, Your Majesty, it is indeed time to take a good rest for a while.
Think of this.
Many ministers bowed one after another and responded:
"Your Majesty has made unparalleled contributions to the world and has worked tirelessly for the country. You truly need to take good care of your health."
"I hope Your Majesty can take advantage of this period to have a good rest."
"Your Majesty's orders will be obeyed."
“…”
Ying Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear their response.
He originally thought that all officials would collectively oppose it.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He just wants to play badly.
Cao Cao stood up, knelt, and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to revoke your order."
"How can I, a minister, take charge of the affairs of the court on behalf of Your Majesty?"
Ying Yuan said in a deep voice: "If I say you can do it, then you can do it. There is no need to waste words."
"If you don't obey my order, I will remove you from your position and choose someone more virtuous and capable."
That's what I said.
Cao Cao had no choice but to accept the imperial edict.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan couldn't help but feel in a good mood.
"I hope that when you have nothing to do, you won't bother me."
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first. You guys eat and drink well, and don't stop until you're drunk."
After saying this, he left the hall.
Leaving the ministers confused.
After a long pause.
Heshen and others asked Cao Cao one after another:
"Prime Minister Cao, you are usually the closest to His Majesty. What's wrong with His Majesty today?"
"We want to improve people's livelihoods while also wasting money and manpower on building wonders. Isn't this a bit contradictory?"
"Yes, Lord Cao, I and the others really don't understand!"
“…”
Not to mention that they were confused about the situation for a while.
Even Cao Cao himself was confused at this moment.
However, since all the officials have started asking.
He could only express some of his own opinions:
"Your Majesty has always been wise and wise, and would never do anything foolish."
"So, I guess this wonder is not in conflict with people's livelihood, but rather complements them."
After these words were spoken, the officials became even more confused.
"Prime Minister Cao, what do you mean?"
"Can you explain it more clearly?"
“…”
Hear the sound.
Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, looked at his ministers, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty said he wanted to build a hanging garden. What is this hanging garden? Does anyone know?"
"My guess is that this Hanging Garden is built somewhere high up or on a mountain. It can't really be built in the air, right?"
"Why did Your Majesty propose building a Hanging Garden? Isn't it because building it high up would keep it out of sight and out of the reach of spies from other countries?"
"Why is Your Majesty so cautious? I suspect Your Majesty is planning to plant something in the garden."
"But what is it that is related to people's livelihood? Isn't it rice, rapeseed, and other things? Your Majesty wants to collect vegetable seeds from all over the world and cultivate them in the garden first."
"However, if this is spread among the people, everyone in our Great Qin can have enough to eat!"
Hear his long speech.
Many officials suddenly understood and realized the truth.
Is this what love is all about?
In this way, wonders do not harm the country, but will greatly enhance the national strength!
They believed that there was nothing wrong with what Cao Cao said.
What is usually grown in a garden?
It must be flowers and plants.
But there are already many flowers and plants in the palace.
Does Your Majesty still need it? Obviously not. Calling it a garden is just a cover-up.
The real purpose is to build the best vegetable garden in the world!
In that vegetable garden, new varieties were cultivated and used for the people.
In this way, the people of Daqin will surely be able to eat rice for every meal in no time.
According to Cao Cao's inference, some people also linked other wonders with people's livelihood or increasing national strength.
"A large lighthouse...must be built in the sea. We just need to carefully consider the material of the light. But His Majesty is doing this to develop the navy."
"The only navy that the Great Qin can truly boast of is the Liangshan Navy. This is not enough. The Great Qin must be invincible not only on land, but also on water!"
"And the Colosseum, its true purpose is definitely not to watch beast fights. That's too extravagant and not good for the country."
