Chapter 221 Borrowing Money
At this moment, Ying Zheng and his son Fusu were looking at Tang Yu with the eyes of idols, and their expressions were surprisingly the same.
They never imagined that Tang Yu could solve the financial problem that had troubled them for so long so easily and smoothly.
They are simply idols and role models for the father and son.
"Mr. Tang, are you sure what you're doing is alright? Won't it be bad for those officials and the nobles from the five countries?"
Ying Zheng hesitated somewhat at the end.
He felt that Tang Yu's actions were extremely unethical and unethical.
After all, you borrow money, but you use the guise of borrowing to rob people!
And after stealing it, they even slap the owner.
He's an absolute villain!
Tang Yu was somewhat puzzled by Ying Zheng's posture.
After all, Zheng Ge is usually more ruthless and decisive than himself. When did he ever act so childishly?
Seeing Tang Yu's puzzled look, Ying Zheng could only smile wryly.
"Mr. Tang may not know this, but our Qin state treats the rulers of other states well."
"And although those officials are greedy, they have indeed done their jobs, and most importantly, no one is replacing them!"
Tang Yu nodded: "Of course I didn't intend to replace them. It's just that when someone replaces them, that's when they'll hand over the remaining money to me."
Why then were the nobles of the six states treated well?
Tang Yu didn't understand, so he looked at Ying Zheng with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, I don't think you're the kind of person who's pedantic or even rigid. Why do you treat the nobles of those six kingdoms so seriously?"
Why should this be treated so well?
Ying Zheng repeated Tang Yu's question, somewhat puzzled as to what Mr. Tang meant.
He didn't quite understand what Tang Yu meant by "question".
But after thinking about it, he still said seriously to Tang Yu:
"Mr. Tang, why am I taking this so seriously? It's because it's been a long-standing custom."
"The victorious nation should treat the king of the defeated nation well and should not allow him to lose his royal dignity."
Thinking about this, Tang Yu was even more confused.
"Why does His Majesty treat you so well? I ask you, why treat you so well?"
"This is of course because...because..."
Ying Zheng thought about it and realized that apart from the fact that it had been done since ancient times and by convention, there had never been any other reason.
Tang Yu then said, "Does Your Majesty perhaps believe that you too will one day be defeated, and that others will treat you kindly then?"
Ying Zheng shook his head without even thinking.
"Mr. Tang's words are really going too far. I never thought that I would be defeated one day."
"There is absolutely no way to leave myself any way out. My Great Qin will surely sweep across this world, and no one will be able to become my Great Qin's enemy."
Tang Yu nodded in response to Ying Zheng's words.
"If that's the case, why did Your Majesty do this?"
"As rulers of other countries, they have always opposed our Qin state, and many of the casualties among our Qin soldiers were caused by their orders. It can be said that they are the culprits behind all this, and they are the truly heinous criminals."
"As a result, those soldiers and generals were punished, while those who gave orders to the generals, the real top leaders, were not punished. Does Your Majesty really think this is reasonable?"
"Is it really reasonable to feed and treat them so well while they speak ill of our Qin state behind our backs?"
Ying Zheng was somewhat stunned upon hearing Tang Yu's words.
Then, in the next moment, Ying Zheng's eyes widened instantly, as if he had been awakened.
He looked at Tang Yu, his voice trembling, and said, "Mr. Tang, what you mean is..."
Tang Yu nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, you understand correctly. That is what I meant."
"Hahaha, no wonder Mr. Tang was able to make such a move today. I was just being too attached to appearances."
"Yes, there's no such thing as 'since ancient times' or 'established conventions,' after all, there has never been such a thing as an emperor since ancient times."
"And I dare to call myself the First Emperor, which breaks the convention that has been established since ancient times."
"It was this group of people who ordered the Qin state to become enemies, and they commanded the country to fight against me. Now I am treating them kindly as has been the case since ancient times. How foolish I am."
"Mr. Tang is absolutely right. It is time for the nobles of these six countries to shed blood."
When Ying Zheng finished speaking, the murderous intent and anger in his eyes made Tang Yu shudder involuntarily.
He suddenly felt ashamed of the nobles of the six states, and muttered to himself.
Sorry, buddy, I just wanted Brother Zheng to understand this, but I never expected him to react so strongly. You guys can fend for yourselves from now on.
If the nobles of the six kingdoms knew about this idea, they would definitely curse Tang Yu for being shameless, since it was simply too outrageous.
After you stirred up Ying Zheng's anger and murderous intent, you just packed your bags and left.
However, Ying Zheng had no other good solutions to the current predicament of the nobles of the six states.
There's no other way; this is what they call killing someone step by step. You have to kill the person first before you can start dismembering the body.
Tang Yu's first step was already ruthless enough; if Ying Zheng were to do something similar, it would inevitably invite criticism.
However, he had made up his mind that he would never treat the nobles of these six kingdoms with the same politeness as before.
The thing Ying Zheng should have done was to slowly and completely erase them from the annals of history.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng realized that it seemed that every country was somehow related by marriage or other connections.
However, Ying Zheng didn't care about this at all, since he had no connection with the nobles and royal families of these six states.
What does kinship have to do with Ying Zheng?
After thinking about it, Ying Zheng understood the problem.
After all, if Ying Zheng's son could become a ruthless person who killed his entire family, surely Ying Zheng himself couldn't do the same.
Thus, the problem that had been troubling Fusu and Ying Zheng was suddenly enlightened by Tang Yu's words, and both father and son had a sudden realization.
At the same time, they looked at Tang Yu and shivered.
I never imagined that Mr. Tang, who always seemed so smiling and kind, would have such thoughts in his heart.
If Tang Yu knew, he would definitely cry foul.
It wasn't that he had many ideas in this era, but rather that this is how it was generally treated in later generations.
Why would they treat you like royalty?
