Chapter 370: Abolition of Slavery
But Ying Yuan was also thinking.
Since the system of burying people alive has been abolished.
So, can slavery be abolished?
He remembered that it was recorded in a novel or unofficial history in his previous life.
King Zhou of Shang was collectively opposed by 800 princes across the world because he wanted to abolish slavery.
Then the country was destroyed.
If I abolish slavery, will it have the same effect?
He thought about it for a while and felt that this was worth a try.
But there is no need to rush.
Because at the moment, he still had one thing to do, which was to order Xu Fu to go out to sea to find the magical bamboo.
To put it bluntly, this fairy bamboo is actually a medicinal herb.
Half a month later.
Ying Yuan suddenly attended the morning court, which scared the ministers.
He sat on the dragon throne, looked at the officials, and said:
"I have decided to order Xu Fu to go out to sea and search for immortals, looking for a medicinal ingredient to make an elixir of immortality for me."
As soon as the words fell.
All the officials were shocked:
"Refine elixirs? This is something only a tyrant king could do!"
"Could it be that throughout history, all emperors who have achieved great political achievements have been obsessed with the path of immortality?"
"This is a foolish act!"
“…”
For a moment, they thought of the fact that all the incompetent emperors in the past dynasties had ordered sorcerers to refine elixirs.
I am a little worried.
Immediately following.
A group of ministers saw Xu Fu slowly walking out of the hall.
Before I could kneel down.
Yu Qian immediately rolled up his sleeves as if to beat him.
Fortunately, he was stopped by Xie An who was standing by.
Yu Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Don't stop me. No matter what I say today, he will be punished!"
"How dare you deceive Your Majesty into pursuing some bullshit path to immortality!"
Xu Fu was frightened by this scene and quickly knelt down before Ying Yuan, his body shaking constantly.
At this moment, if he raised his head, he would find that the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were filled with murderous intent.
Before Ying Yuan could say anything.
Yu Qian calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, this man called Xu Fu is a man who deserves death!"
Ying Yuan has not attended court for a long time.
As a result, this bomb was dropped on all officials.
To be honest, they all found it a bit difficult to understand.
But why should Ying Yuan explain to them what he did?
"Yu Qian, are you crazy? How dare you question my decision!"
Ying Yuan slammed the dragon throne, stood up suddenly, and said:
"I have said that I will send Xu Fu to sea to visit the immortals. If you dare to disobey, I will not forgive you!"
Who is Yu Qian?
In Ying Yuan's previous life, he was the one who dared to point at the emperor's nose and angrily criticize him.
Why worry about being punished?
He wanted to say something else, but saw Cao Cao shaking his head at him.
It seems like there is a deeper meaning?
Yu Qian didn't know, but he had to suppress his restlessness temporarily.
At this time, Xu Fu, who was kneeling on the ground and dared not look up, said bravely:
"Your Majesty, I have one condition for going to sea to visit the immortals. I hope Your Majesty can agree to it."
He is now working for the court, and Ying Yuan has temporarily appointed him as a [Sea Envoy], so he can call himself a minister.
Ying Yuan asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
The ministers standing not far from Xu Fu began to discuss at this time:
"Your Majesty asked him to do something, and he dared to ask for something. He deserves to die!"
"If he really dares to deceive Your Majesty and cause cholera to spread beyond the scope of the law, then kill him!"
"Okay, kill him!"
“…”
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu couldn't help but shiver again.
He secretly wondered what kind of powerful people these ministers in the Qin court were.
He would resort to physical violence, or even murderous intent, over a disagreement?
Xu Fu just smiled bitterly.
He really wanted to say, based on your attitude, even if I were given a hundred guts, I would not dare to deceive His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!
Paused.
He replied, "I need three thousand boys and girls to accompany me."
"If I am lucky enough to find the Fairy Island and encounter the immortals there, I can also sacrifice three thousand boys and girls to the immortals."
As soon as these words were spoken.
All the officials were in an uproar, pointing at Xu Fu's nose and cursing him.
"You're so brave! Just because of your words, six thousand lives are gone just like that?"
"I have heard of human sacrifices, and this practice has existed since ancient times, but I have never heard of six thousand lives being sacrificed in one offering!"
"You're right. Besides, they were just children. How could you have the heart to do that to them?!"
"Damn it, damn it!"
“…”
Xu Fu knew that he had once again angered the public.
But he also read about the three thousand boys and girls from ancient books.
It is said that boys and girls have pure minds, and the number three thousand each can maintain the balance of yin and yang.
Rumor has it that Huangdi ascended to heaven after having sex with three thousand women?
Moreover, there are three thousand Daos in the heavenly realm, which is exactly the number three thousand.
As the saying goes, sincerity is the key to success. Maybe if you bring three thousand boys and girls with you, you can really meet a fairy?
"Your Majesty... can the descendants of slaves..."
Xu Fu hadn't finished speaking yet.
Sudden.
Yu Qian couldn't bear it anymore.
He kicked Xu Fu down with one kick.
Seeing this, no officials tried to stop him.
There are even some military generals, such as Xiahou Dun, Zhang He, Bai Qi and others.
Following Yu Qian, he kicked Xu Fu one after another.
