At this moment, 001 asked with some confusion, "Luo Bao, why are you pleading for them?"
I just checked the information on those people and found that they have been pointing fingers at you and saying a lot of bad things behind your back. They even tried to stop you from being named a king of a different surname.
Those hurtful words were simply unbearable to hear. Why would you help them after they treated you like that?
Qin Qianlu smiled and said, "People in this world are all different, like twinkling stars, each with its own brilliance and its own dimness."
How could I possibly expect to be loved by everyone like gold?
Even if they scold me a few times, so what? I didn't hear it, and it won't hurt me.
Moreover, the court is currently in dire need of talent, and the situation is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind, making every bit of strength extremely precious.
If they are truly punished or seriously injured by torture, there will be fewer people in the court who can handle affairs and share the burden of government.
The imperial examinations would take another three years, and there was no fresh blood to be brought in for the time being, plus the court had so many complicated and trivial affairs.
If the veteran minister were to pass away at this time, who would take over the management of these myriad political affairs?
Although these seven people are not many, they are all highly skilled and experienced individuals in their respective fields.
Keeping them alive would be beneficial and harmless to the court; no matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.
"Everyone should like Luo Bao. My Luo Bao is so outstanding. If they don't like her, they are blind and it's their loss." 001 muttered softly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo simply smiled faintly, her smile conveying a sense of ease and magnanimity, and said nothing more.
Her gaze casually swept over the books held by the officials, and she already understood in her heart how she had obtained the title of "King of a Different Surname".
However, although she is now a prince, she is still a "mascot" in the court, which she is quite satisfied with.
After all, this prestigious status also brought her a sense of freedom and peace, allowing her to stay away from many unnecessary troubles.
In the imperial court, the ministers listened to King Jinrui Zhao's heartfelt words, which were like a gentle spring breeze, touching their hearts and making them even more respectful of his magnanimous character.
In contrast, his disgust for Zhu Shiyan and the others grew even stronger.
The ministers all secretly pondered that if Zhu Shiyan and his ilk could repent and diligently serve the public, they might still be spared.
However, if they remain unrepentant and show the slightest disrespect to King Jinrui Zhao, then we will stand up to defend King Jinrui Zhao's honor and will not allow them to continue their arrogance.
Zhu Shiyan and the others stood aside, not saying a word, but their faces were already flushed red and pale in turns, their hearts overwhelmed by a tide of guilt.
They knew perfectly well that the current situation was all due to their own mistakes, and that all they were suffering was the result of karma. They could do nothing but sigh silently in their hearts.
Ning Jun's gaze quietly fell on Qin Qianluo standing behind him, and in that instant, his eyes softened.
The thought of abducting her back to his fiefdom grew wildly in his heart like weeds, but now that she was a king of a different surname, he was afraid she could not leave the capital easily.
When his gaze returned to the book in his hands, a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
He had to admit that during his trip to the capital, witnessing the city's prosperity and the peaceful lives of its people, he felt a deep envy for the emperor.
His experiences over the past few days unfolded before his eyes like a magnificent and colorful painting.
Those beneficial items that were only introduced in the fiefdom a few months ago are already commonplace in the capital and have become ordinary items in the daily lives of the people.
And the roads, the closer they get to the capital, the flatter and wider they become, like a winding dragon connecting the prosperity of the capital with trade from all directions.
This sight filled him with longing and made him more acutely aware of the lagging development of his fiefdom.
He knew that if he wanted to change the status quo of his fiefdom, building roads was the most urgent task. However, the huge amount of money required for road construction was like a mountain that stood in his way and was difficult to overcome.
The emperor's treasury also has many uses, and he cannot be given financial support. He can only rely on himself to plan and raise funds.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the scroll in his hand again. It also contained many methods for making money and getting rich, although following them might take a long time.
But looking back, the years have been long, and the people of the fiefdom have endured countless hardships. Now, for the sake of long-term development, what's wrong with waiting a little longer?
Ning Yu's eyes darted around, and his mind started working. He was also troubled by the funding problem for road construction in his fiefdom, and at that moment, a brilliant idea struck him.
If we bring it up now, we might get some brilliant ideas from Qin Qianluo.
Having made up his mind, he straightened his clothes, stepped forward steadily, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I have a matter to discuss, and I hope Your Majesty and all of you can come up with a solution for me."
The Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his gaze sweeping over Ning Yu, already fully aware of his plans.
A slight smile played on his lips, and he glanced at Qin Qianluo, who was standing to the side lost in thought, before nodding gently.
He said, "Second brother, please speak freely. Your Majesty and I, along with all my beloved ministers, will certainly offer you advice and strategies."
Ning Yu said, “I have observed that the thoroughfares around the capital are flat and smooth, facilitating travel and trade. The people are delighted and admire it greatly.”
Thinking of my fiefdom, where the roads are rugged and muddy during the rainy season, causing hardship for the people, stagnation of goods and wealth, and hindering development, I am deeply worried.
