"Your Majesty, the statistics on the prisoners have come out."
Suan Shenji stood out from the court and said in a pragmatic manner: "This time your majesty took action, the captured soldiers attacked more than 538,000 people."
"The vast majority of them are my Da Chen Zimin, and a small part are the remnants of the Heavenly Emperor's Church. This group of people...what should you do with your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers think it's time to kill!"
Jinwuwei Wangliang was the first to stand up, his eyes full of fierceness.
In the previous battle, his Jinwuwei suffered heavy casualties, and was basically beaten seven or eighty eight. This is all his confidant, and I don't know how long it will take to truly recover.
Just as Wang Liang's voice just fell, Li Sen, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it should be released. Most of these five hundred thousand people are my people. If they are killed in this way, if they are used by traitors, it will cause an uproar among the victims, fearing that something will happen!"
The two remarks of Wang Liang and Li Sen basically represent the two clear-cut views of the court.
One side thinks it's time to kill, one side thinks it's time to release!
Chen Fan had long anticipated the direction of things, in fact, it was he deliberately guided it.
Because this will be the first lesson Chen Fan asked to teach Chen Yixin.
The balance of the emperor!
Balance, seemingly ordinary and simple, but it is a compulsory course that all emperors in the world must firmly grasp throughout their lives.
If you can't grasp the word balance, the ultimate fate can be imagined.
Just like Chen Fan's uncle, Chen Yi, he didn't have a good balance and allowed Chen Fan to grow bigger. When the situation was over, he was already unable to recover, and finally gave Da Chen to Chen Fan.
Balancing the court, balancing the hearts of the people, and balancing the country, these three things are compulsory courses for the emperor.
Must be proficient, must be familiar with.
Therefore, Chen Fan did not say anything to stop the scene of the two rooms above the courthouse arguing each other and arguing.
But just watch the two parties lobby each other quietly.
At the same time, it also made Chen Yixin wait and see quietly, understanding and comprehending by himself.
In this way, the situation gradually became clear.
A group of generals headed by Wang Liang, Long Erlong Yan, and Qian Qian chose an iron and blood method to suppress.
They believe that the blood debt must be repaid with blood. In this battle, the Black Army, Jinwuwei, Jinyiwei, and even the Sea Beast Camp, Dachen's most important military unit, all suffered heavy casualties.
Especially the Black Army, 90% fell!
If the captured soldiers do not kill, as generals, how do they face the dead soldiers, how do they face the scrutiny eyes of the living soldiers?
But on the other side, led by Li Sen, including Jia Boqian, and a group of civil servants, chose a more gentle policy.
The development of the country is more important than anything else, these people cannot be killed!
In fact, there is a reason for the two rooms to hold their own words. This is also the choice that the emperor will learn to face most of the time.
It seems reasonable on both sides, but neither is the perfect choice.
Two evils are right, whichever is less.
So which one is lighter?
"Shenji, Feiyang, and Fang Shuai, the three of you did not express any opinions, but have reservations?"
Chen Fan threw the topic to the three of his most optimistic.
I want to hear what these people think.
Fang Muzhi was the first to open his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is very old. In this battle with the Tiandijiao, he has repeatedly made mistakes. I am afraid that he will not be able to share his worries for his majesty. Therefore, the old minister wants to resign and confess his old age. Leave it to the young people to share their worries for your majesty."
Fang Muzhi chose to get out of the world.
Judging from the changes after Chen Fan returned this time, everyone felt that Chen Fan was about to make drastic reforms.
So obsolete things will naturally be discarded.
It was precisely because Fang Muzhi saw this that he had to resign and report his old age.
He knew in his heart that he was no longer useful compared to young people like Ling Feiyang, so he might as well retreat from the rapids, and at least he could still earn a good name.
For this idea, Chen Fan did not directly agree.
Three please three resignations, this is a custom in ancient times.
Therefore, at least Fang Muzhi had to resign three times before Chen Fan could truly agree.
He only calmed the veteran of the Three Dynasties a little, and then turned his gaze on Ling Feiyang's body.
