There is no more appropriate answer than putting people first.
Thinking of this, Song Zelin also perked up and asked curiously, "Eunuch Wang, I wonder how your Third Prince came up with this answer?"
"Your Highness's original words were..."
Eunuch Wang exhaled and slowly said:
"The ruler is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.
Throughout history, all changes of dynasties ultimately come down to two words: the people’s will.
Therefore, the essence of governing a country, after all, is actually governing the people.
Only when one rejoices in the people's joy and worries about their worries can one be considered a qualified monarch."
Eunuch Wang recited in one breath what Li Chengfeng had taught him earlier.
When he finished speaking, the whole yard fell silent.
The gleam in Song Zelin's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Even with his calm personality, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "I didn't expect... I didn't expect that His Highness the Third Prince would have such an idea. This is a little beyond my expectations."

Unconsciously, this thought flashed through Song Zelin's mind.
But soon, he shook his head.
Admittedly, he did underestimate the Third Prince, and was inevitably shocked when he heard his words.
But just because of this, it is far from enough to push the other party to the throne regardless of everything.
On the side, Song Yuwei's beautiful eyes flickered, and for the first time, she became interested in the useless prince.
She was very curious about what kind of person could say something like "rejoice in the people's joy and worry about the people's worries."
