Chapter 610

Everything was full of uncertainty.

Perhaps he really could live for a long time.

If only his lifespan could be stabilized.

Unfortunately, this was uncontrollable, which made Ying Zheng feel somewhat helpless.

Saying that the mausoleum wouldn't be needed was also a reasonable statement.

Everything Ying Zi Ye said was correct.

He was not being perfunctory, which was why he was so happy.

Regarding the number of people building the mausoleum, Ying Zheng was no longer in a hurry.

In any case, he had no immediate concerns for his life.

If one could truly live to a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years, no one would want to die.

General Zhang Han looked at His Majesty with some surprise.

He knew very well that His Majesty was extremely averse to others flattering him.

Now that the Prince was acting this way, wasn't it just flattery?

But why was His Majesty not annoyed in the slightest?

Instead, he had an expression of "I believe you."

Even he didn't believe these words, but could His Majesty really have believed them?

This... General Zhang Han stopped speaking.

They were father and son; whatever they said was correct.

As an outsider, it was better for him not to interfere too much.

Therefore, General Zhang Han said no more, sitting with his eyes fixed on his nose and his nose on his heart.

After a good while.

Ying Zheng calmed down.

He recalled some matters.

It could also be considered testing Ying Zi Ye.

"Over a million corvée laborers have been dissolved, and Great Qin is somewhat turbulent."

"What is your view on this matter?"

"Is there a good solution?"

There was a hint of something unusual in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Previously, at the Qilin Hall, Chen Ping had mentioned conscription.

But he had not made up his mind to conscript soldiers.

Conscripting soldiers for just minor friction was not worth the loss.

Now that the country was peaceful, increasing the military force too much was not necessarily a good thing.

He had previously inquired via letter to Ying Zi Ye about what the conscription was about.

Now that the person had returned, he wanted to see if there was any good way to handle this.

If not, then it would be better not to conscript.

He had many things to consider and needed to take a comprehensive view.

It was impossible to conscript soldiers for such minor friction.

"The best method is still conscription."

Ying Ying Zi Ye had not failed to consider this matter on his way back.

He just hadn't expected Brother Zheng to ask him this question so soon.

"Conscription?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye in surprise.

"Conscripting soldiers for just this bit of minor friction."

"It is not worth the loss."

Ying Zheng shook his head slowly; a small conscription would be useless.

Once conscription began, it would have to involve tens or hundreds of thousands.

What would such a large military force be used for?

Could it be that they were just to be kept like that?

Great Qin's military force was not weak; it was just dispersed throughout the country.

Because of this minor friction, Ying Zheng did not approve of conscription.

Standing from the position of a ruler, it was inappropriate to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Ying Ying Zi Ye picked up his tea and took a sip.

He was not at all surprised by Brother Zheng's disapproval.

If he were the helmsman of Great Qin, if this matter were placed on him, he would also refuse without hesitation.

After all, conscripting soldiers for such minor friction seemed unreliable no matter how one looked at it.

Under normal circumstances, who would go to conscript soldiers?

Generally, conscription would only happen when a war broke out and threatened the safety of the empire.

Conscripting now would be a joke.

"Father Emperor, if it were only those minor frictions, it would not be worth conscripting."

"However..."

"If there are other matters mixed into it, then conscription is not impossible."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was composed, appearing indifferent to the matter of conscription.

"Other matters?"

"What matters?"

Neither Ying Zheng nor General Zhang Han understood.

Both looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with curiosity.

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not speak, simply glancing at the eunuchs standing not far away.

Was it inconvenient to speak with many people around?

Ying Zheng understood; this was simple.

"All of you, withdraw."

"Close the door."

"Yes!"

Several eunuchs bowed and withdrew one after another.

They closed the door as they left.

Seeing that everyone had been dismissed, General Zhang Han realized it might be a very important matter.

He didn't know whether he should withdraw himself.

After all, he didn't know what the matter was.

He didn't know if he should listen to these secrets.

The fewer secrets one knew, the safer one was.

"Your Majesty, should this old subject... also withdraw?"

General Zhang Han stood up, feeling he shouldn't stay.

Ying Zheng did not speak, but looked at Ying Zi Ye.

He didn't know what the matter was either, and he didn't know if General Zhang Han should withdraw.

"General Zhang Han, no need to withdraw."

"Stay and listen together."

Ying Ying Zi Ye kept General Zhang Han.

General Zhang Han was a military general; it wouldn't hurt for him to listen.

Moreover, General Zhang Han was not an outsider; he was the type who could be absolutely trusted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kept by Brother Zheng's side to protect Brother Zheng's safety.

The three of them stayed in the Imperial Study for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 612 =====
