I am willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor… This statement by Feng Jie in Dream of the Red Chamber was even quoted by Emperor Taizu in later generations, which shows that it is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although Zhang Shou had only met Xian Yunhe once before, and could not be said to know him well, but after hearing what the uncle and nephew said just now, he felt that Xian Yunhe was really trying his best to drag the eldest prince down with him, and he was satisfied.
As for death... I'm afraid people have already prepared themselves mentally before doing such a daring thing!
On the way just now, he had been thinking for a long time in his mind. At this moment, he sent away the two personal soldiers of the Ruiqi Battalion. Seeing Ah Liu jumping onto the top of the wall and looking down from above, he glanced at Ge Yong with a frown and said, "Teacher, hundreds of people are exiled to Liaodong. What about their families? Cangzhou City has finally been pacified. Won't it be chaos again next?"
"Not to mention this dynasty, there have been disturbances in previous dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, some people took advantage of the emperor's trip to Luoyang to attack the palace. That was a real treason, which was countless times more serious than the people of Cangzhou who were forced to hold the eldest prince hostage and occupy the palace. But in the end, only the main culprit was executed, and the rest were not questioned."
Hearing that Zhang Shou tried to limit the problem to the main culprit but excused others, the pale face of Lao Xianyu lost all color. Whether the main culprit was limited to one person or eight people, Xian Yunhe would not be able to escape. However, when he looked at Xian Yunhe, he saw that he was actually showing a hint of joy.
This time, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk! You stupid boy, you alone can't bear the wrath of so many big men in the court!"
After stopping Xian Yunhe, Lao Xianyu suddenly had an idea and came up with an extremely bold idea. He immediately rushed to Zhang Shou and said loudly: "Dr. Zhang, didn't you say before that those rubber trees can't be planted in Cangzhou? As for the climate in the south, I have heard a little bit about it. If there is a place with a climate similar to the native place of those rubber trees, it must be Qiongzhou Prefecture!"
Seeing that Ge Yong and Zhang Shou were both looking at him, he said word by word: "If the court cannot tolerate Yunhe and his group, instead of killing them and causing unrest among the people of Cangzhou, why not send them to Qiongzhou to plant trees? If they can grow trees, at least they have made up their minds for their crimes. If they can't, then they deserve to die there!"
Xian Yunhe's expression changed immediately, and he subconsciously shouted, "Uncle, how can you let others get involved just for me!"
"What do you mean by implicate? Ask Grand Tutor Ge. Are those guys in the court really satisfied with only punishing you, the main culprit? Don't forget, the initial proposal was to behead all eight of you, and all those who participated in this matter were sent to exile! The emperor directly dealt with a prince. He is such a noble and honorable person. How can it be equal if there are not enough people to fill in?"
After the old salty fish finished his words, he immediately ignored Ge Yong who seemed to be thinking about something, and said to Zhang Shou sincerely: "Dr. Zhang, didn't you say that the rubber trees may need to be planted for ten or eight years before they can be tapped? Whether it is the rich or the common people, who can endure such many years of hardship? But if Yunhe and the others survived, they will naturally work hard without complaint..."
