Chapter 186: The island is for you, but not the people. They must die.

According to Lu Yanshi's idea, officials from their original place of origin could be allowed to go there, but if some places were vacant, they would have to be transferred from other places.

However, some officials of Daxia were unwilling to leave the capital.

Coupled with the accountability system, when the examiners are all hard labor with no benefits, some people start to make excuses.

Lu Yanshi sneered and said nothing.

Do you really think they have a stable job now? If they don't do their job well, just get out.

Anyway, there are many officials who want to do it now.

Lu Yanshi did not say it directly. He wrote down all the officials who refused in a small notebook, and the next day he found a reason to dismiss them from their posts and replaced them with officials from other countries.

It just so happened that he had been displeased with these officials who took advantage of their seniority for a long time.

The officials of Daxia came to their senses and wanted to ask Lu Yanshi for mercy, but it was useless.

Lu Yanshi didn't see them at all.

They could only go to the emperor's most popular person - Qu Fufeng.

"Lord Xiaoqu, please persuade the emperor. We are all veteran ministers of two dynasties. The emperor cannot dismiss us veteran ministers and replace us with newcomers just to win the hearts of the people."

"Yes, yes, we are the most loyal officials of Daxia, and they are all outsiders. You should persuade the emperor and not let him make mistakes."

These adults surrounded Qu Fufeng, completely unaware of their mistakes.

"Confused? What's wrong with you? The emperor has always been a wise ruler who knows how to use people. Don't be so careless. If you are dismissed, you should look for your own reasons. You have not made any progress in this position for so many years. Have you done your job seriously? Have you worked hard for the welfare of the people?"

After Qu Fufeng finished speaking, he left without giving them a chance to refute.

Several adults were so angry that they couldn't help but curse: "Flatterer!!!"

When Lu Yanshi heard this, he felt very comforted.

Qu Fufeng is still sensible.

"Give Qu Fufeng two days off and let Lady Rou go out of the palace to visit her brother."

Upon receiving the news, Qu Fufeng and Qi Xingrou were very happy, but Qi Xingchen was almost going crazy.

These two used him as a cover to have an affair again!!!

If the emperor found out about this, he would be implicated and killed by them.

These two guys are really brave.

But he couldn't take the initiative to report them, so Qi Xingchen could only keep watch for them with tears in his eyes.

…

After a month, Lu Yanshi had basically cleared out the court.

He had kicked out most of the old stubborn people, and now the whole court was full of vitality, which he was very satisfied with.

That morning, he received an expedited letter from Lu Jing.

Lu Jing said that after they entered the East China Sea, they arrived at an island and met a group of people who had black eyes and black hair like them, but were shorter.

No one on board, no matter which country, could understand what they said.

Lu Jing believed that these people were most likely a group of people who got separated from the blue-eyed, blond-haired white people when they were being hunted down.

His letter was to ask whether these people should be brought back to Daxia for education.

After listening to Cao Dehai read the letter, Qu Fufeng had some vague guesses in his mind.

The people that the eldest prince and his men met were most likely the Japanese people who were living a good life.

At this time, a minister stood up and expressed his opinion, saying that since they were all of the same ethnic group, they should be brought back to be educated, or someone should be sent there to take over.

When Qu Fufeng heard this, he slapped his head and raised an objection: "No, these people must be killed! We want the island but not the people. No one can be left alive."

His tone was very excited, as if he couldn't wait to pick up the knife and chop people up.

The officials present were all shocked.

It was the first time they saw Master Xiaoqu so excited.

"Your Majesty, they must die." Qu Fufeng gritted his teeth.

Those damn Japanese have killed so many Chinese people. Even if they die a thousand or ten thousand times, it will not be enough to atone for their sins.

[Qu Fufeng is so excited, could these people be the Japanese he mentioned? ]

Lu Li immediately guessed the reason for his anger.

She remembered that in the history that Qu Fufeng had talked about, there was a country whose people looked very similar to them, but they did all kinds of bad things.

"Master Qu, they are just like us, with black eyes and black hair. Why do you want to kill them?"

"That's right. How can you just kill them? There is no precedent of massacring a city in our Great Xia."

Those people didn't know why Qu Fufeng hated them so much, and they stood up one after another to oppose his words.

Qu Fufeng clenched his fists and began to regret why he did not include the Japanese in the name of the stele when he carved it.

Lu Yanshi looked at Qu Fufeng's bloodshot eyes and raised his hand to signal those people to be quiet.

"Let's put this matter on hold for the time being. Let's adjourn the court. Qu Fufeng, come with me to the study."

…

Arriving at Yu's study, Lu Yanshi motioned for Qu Fufeng to sit down and asked, "Tell me, why do they have to die?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the massacre that I told you about?" Qu Fufeng felt a sore nose when he mentioned this history.

Millions of our compatriots died at the hands of the Japanese.

Lu Yanshi nodded.

"They killed at least 35 million of my fellow Chinese people!"

"They committed adultery, plunder and all manner of evil."

"They don't take human life seriously at all, and they don't spare anyone, regardless of gender, age or status."

Qu Fufeng gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

"They would dig a hole in the ground and bury the heads of Chinese people in the soil, leaving only their limbs outside. They would stamp down the soil on the heads and let the people struggle and eventually die. They called this 'falling upside down.'"

When Lu Li heard this, she clenched her fists in anger.

"To build up their courage, they would even cut off the heads of Chinese people and use them as targets, then replace them with new ones when they were damaged."

Lu Yanshi couldn't bear to listen any more and covered his daughter's ears.

Lu Li's tears welled up.

It’s so miserable. These people are so miserable.

"They even didn't spare pregnant women. They cut open their bellies with bayonets, picked out the babies and tortured them to death slowly."

"They are not worthy of being called human beings! They are just a bunch of beasts!"

Qu Fufeng burst into tears when he finished speaking.

Lu Yanshi was also deeply shocked.

He had never imagined that someone could be so deranged.

"Besides that, they also did something that harmed the whole world. They released poisonous water into the sea, causing everyone to suffer. You could say they are the cancer of the world."

"Your Majesty, please believe me. If they are really the ancestors of the Japanese, we must root them out completely and not leave a single one alive!"

Qu Fufeng gritted his teeth, wishing he could pick up his sword and kill those devils right now.

He would be willing to die if it meant killing the devils.

[Humph, if my father doesn't agree, I will sneak over and draw the thunder from the sky to kill them all! ]

Lu Li wiped her tears, her little face full of anger.
