Chapter 4 Don't kill, don't kill, courtesy first, soldiers later
After the emperor entered the Chengqian Palace, the ministers filed in according to their civil and military order.
According to the order of narration, the prime minister and ministers respectively expressed their opinions on the official affairs in hand.
When it was the turn of the Minister of Rites, he was an official in his early fifties.
He walked out of the queue tremblingly, bowed and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, it snowed heavily a few days ago. The Ministry of Rites arranged to open tents in the east and south of the city to give porridge to the poor.
However, there were many beggars who took turns to make trouble together. They threatened other people who came to ask for porridge, and took all the porridge back and divided it among themselves.
I have sent the accompanying guards to stop this kind of thing many times, but the bans continue. I privately believe that heavy punishment may be needed to put an end to this phenomenon. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Gu Yi's cold eyes shone with dissatisfaction.
He spoke slowly in a low voice, with a lazy and stern look: "These disobedient beggars and refugees dare to get together and cause trouble, so what are you waiting for?
Kill one to serve as a warning to others. If one person pays a heavy price, who among the rest will dare to imitate him?"
As soon as Gu Yihan finished speaking, the little guy in his arms moved.
Let out a purr similar to a cat's meow.
Immediately afterwards, the little princess's long eyelashes suddenly opened.
Revealing a pair of extremely clear glass eyes, there was still the sleepiness in his eyes that he had just woken up from.
The little guy rubbed his eyes and asked Nuo Nuo: "Dad, what are you killing?"
Gu Yihan hurriedly hugged her tightly and coaxed gently: "Nonuo, are you awake? I won't kill you. Daddy is joking with Uncle Shangshu."
He looked at the Minister of Rites and said with his eyes: "For this matter, please send more people to this matter, and let them use their emotions to reason. We must resolve this matter peacefully!"
The little princess Gu Nuoer has been "strictly guarding" Gu Yihan since she can remember.
As long as the little guy hears anything about life and death, he will press his father's hand.
Then he opened his big eyes and said in a childish and soft voice: "Dad, if you don't want to kill me, I won't kill you."
So far, the little princess has stopped the tyrant Majesty from killing innocent people many times.
Therefore, now in front of the little princess, Gu Yihan is very careful.
The Minister of Rites listened to the words, but he was a little troubled.
He bowed again and reported: "But Your Majesty, those beggars are unreasonable. They are robbing them of porridge. If they don't teach them a little lesson, I'm afraid they will cause a big mess!"
Gu Yihan quietly pointed at the little man in his arms and stared at the Minister of Rites.
However, at this time, the little princess Gu Nuoer heard the sound.
Two small hands grabbed the edge of the table and stretched out the minister.
She asked Nunuo: "Uncle Shangshu, what's the matter?"
The little princess asked, and the Minister of Rites quickly told the story again.
After listening to this, Gu Nuoer opened her big eyes and looked up at Gu Yihan.
"Dad, those beggars just want to eat, and their crimes will not lead to death. Why not arrest those beggars who have done bad things?
Let them give out porridge under supervision, and if they don’t finish the meal and eat it secretly, then punish them by not giving them food!”
She held one of Gu Yihan's fingers with her soft white hands.
Xiao Nai's voice was soft and waxy: "If you don't want to kill, don't kill. Be polite first and then attack with force."
This was a word she heard in Gu Yihan's study a few days ago.
The little guy only listened to it once and he actually learned it!
When the Minister of Rites heard this, his eyes lit up: "This is a great idea, little princess! It not only gives the beggars work, but also prevents them from doing nothing and provoking everywhere.
At the same time, it also ensures the food and clothing of the rest of the people, and their respect and respect!"
