Chapter 216 Obtaining The Reward Of Stupidity: Man Ginseng Fruit Tree!
Du Yulin didn't say anything just now.
It's because he also feels that the young elites of Chang'an City are too comfortable. It would be a good thing for them to go out and gain some experience.
Actually, not every young elite from prestigious families spends their days idly, indulging in leisure activities and relying solely on their resources to improve their cultivation.
There are many outstanding young elites from prestigious families, especially those with strong talents who are among the best.
But obviously, the group of young elites that His Majesty has targeted does not belong to the category of excellence.
However, when Du Yulin heard the ministers' analysis, he also felt that something was not quite right.
While it is indeed a good thing for these young elites to gain experience, His Majesty's move is a bit too drastic.
These prestigious families are not ordinary clans. They have a history of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years and hold significant influence throughout Great Qin.
If they are truly angered, they may not be able to overthrow Great Qin, but they will definitely have a huge impact on the stability of Great Qin. At that time, the cost will outweigh the benefits.
Du Yulin is conflicted and doesn't know how to advise.
"Since Your Majesty has made a decision, we will follow Your Majesty's orders," Wang Xing suddenly walks over and whispers a few words in Du Yulin's ear.
Upon hearing Wang Xing's words, Du Yulin's eyes flicker, and various thoughts quickly cross his mind.
At this moment, Wang Xing has already turned and left, and the ministers also gradually leave the Gold Imperial Hall.
Du Yulin is left alone, sighs after a long while, and turns to leave.
..........
[The host ignored the advice of the ministers and imprisoned the young elites of the major prestigious families in Great Qin, causing unrest and turmoil in Great Qin. This is considered a foolish act and rewards the Foolishness Award: Ginseng Fruit Tree!]
On the other side,
Qin Mu suddenly stops in his tracks on his way back to the palace.
As soon as the system's prompt sounds, a smile appears on Qin Mu's lips.
A foolish act?
Heh...
He looks up at the sky, his expression changing, with an indeterminate meaning.
Based on the historical process, opposing the prestigious families is indeed considered a foolish act.
But he doesn't need the support of those prestigious families, nor does he need their loyalty to Great Qin.
Because Great Qin doesn't need them at all.
Those prestigious families can jump and dance however they want, even if they turn against him, it doesn't matter.
It just so happens that he can take this opportunity to deal with those prestigious families and confiscate all their wealth for the national treasury.
"Since it's a foolish act, then let's be foolish to the end! I want to see how long those old foxes can endure."
A cold smile appears on Qin Mu's lips.
In the system space, a Ginseng Fruit Tree stands tall, with lush branches and leaves, emitting a misty spiritual aura.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree is a seedling of the World Tree, also known as a sub-plant of the World Tree. It contains rich and pure Innate Qi.
Although it cannot directly help an ordinary person ascend to immortality, it is a great opportunity for cultivators.
If one can consume the Ginseng Fruit Tree, it can greatly enhance their physique and extend their lifespan.
Not only that, it can cleanse the physical body, improve bloodline, and enhance innate talent.
Qin Mu looks at the tree full of Ginseng Fruits and reaches out to pick one, chewing it in his mouth.
The juice of the Ginseng Fruit is extremely sweet, melting in the mouth like spring water, as if tasting nectar, bringing a sense of comfort to the whole body.
In an instant, strands of Innate Qi surge around Qin Mu, gathering in his limbs and strengthening his body.
He feels a warm sensation throughout his body, an indescribable sense of comfort.
Qin Mu squints his eyes, savoring the wonderful rhythm within, and all his pores open up.
At this moment,
Qin Mu's heart moves, and he suddenly opens his eyes, a sharp light flashing through.
He looks up.
In the distance, a woman stands gracefully among the flowers, her figure slender and elegant.
This is an extremely beautiful woman, with skin as fair as snow, eyebrows curved like willow leaves, a straight and high nose, and bright red lips.
She is wearing a sky blue silk dress, exuding an elegant and dignified temperament, like a fairy stepping out of a painting.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The beautiful woman curtsies gracefully, her voice gentle and pleasant.
Qin Mu looks her up and down, furrowing his brows slightly, "Who are you?"
..........
Meanwhile, in the Zhao Family Mansion in Chang'an City, a group of prominent families and high-level cultivators from Chang'an City have gathered.
They all sit with gloomy expressions, the atmosphere incredibly heavy.
"The Emperor actually wants to exile all of our younger generations to the military?!"
"This is unreasonable! The Emperor is clearly cutting off our future paths, wanting to exterminate us!"
"The Emperor is too ruthless. He wants to forcefully bind our families to this battle in order to increase the chances of victory!"
"Alas! Exile to the military. Faced with so many powerful enemies, we may never return to Chang'an!"
"Who can say otherwise? A single country challenging the major forces of two domains, there has never been such a trial!"
"........"
The sound of discussions continues, and these family heads are filled with indignation, angrily cursing.
They originally thought that Great Qin's victory over the Heavenly Essence Dynasty and the recapture of the Ash Moon Dynasty meant that the unification of the Heavenly River Domain was just around the corner.
At that time, their families would also rise with the tide, further expanding their resources and influence.
But unexpectedly, before the Heavenly River Domain was even settled, the Emperor has caused a new incident so quickly, killing so many foreign Saints.
What's even more unexpected is that the Emperor not only plans to personally go to battle, but also wants to bring the younger generation of their families to the battlefield!
How is this any different from sending them to their deaths?!
This is simply pushing them into a fire pit!
"Hmph! The Emperor's actions are clearly deliberately making things difficult for us, wanting to use this excuse to remove us, these prominent families!"
"Although our families may be somewhat weakened, we have not fallen to the point where the Emperor can manipulate us at will!"
A refined man in a white robe stands up and says coldly.
"That's right! The Emperor's oppression of us is unacceptable. Does he really think we are so easily controlled?"
Another person stands up, shouting with righteous indignation.
"Since the Emperor is so ruthless, we are not soft persimmons. Even if we have to fight to the death, we must ensure the safety of our younger generations!"
A burly man in a black robe stands up, fists clenched, his eyes filled with a fierce light.
"This is pushing us onto a dead end!"
"My Han family would rather die than submit! I refuse!"
The other family heads echo one after another, filled with righteous indignation.
The man in the white robe looks at everyone and says in a cold voice, "I suggest gathering the major families and confronting the Emperor!"
"What's the point of confronting him? Do you want to die?" At this moment, a powerful family head slams the table and glares.
"The Emperor has already destroyed the Heavenly Essence Dynasty and even dared to kill those foreign Saints. Is there anything he wouldn't do?"
"Even if you gather the major families now to question the Emperor, do you think he will treat you kindly?"
"What we should be considering now is how to protect the lives of our clan's descendants!"
The man in the white robe hesitates at the words, but still grits his teeth and says, "We can't just sit and wait for death, can we?"
The faces of the other family heads also turn grim, sighing and at a loss.
Strength is always a weakness.
Without strength, there is no right to speak, let alone fairness.
"Please calm down, everyone. Although the Emperor's actions are inappropriate, there may still be a way to resolve this."
At this moment, a woman in a purple dress speaks slowly.
