Chapter 1090

Besides, I am actually hoping that Great Tang will declare war.

As soon as they declare war, Great Qin's opportunity to make money will come again."

However, Bao Zheng's reminder was not wrong.

How many times in history have foreign envoys been allowed to remain above the law out of fear of war,

unintentionally trampling upon the dignity of the law!

This is shaking the very foundation of the state!

In this life, since Qin Mu governs the country, he will absolutely not allow such things to happen!

"Bao Zheng, did you ask those two why they would perform such a childish act?

Why did they violate traffic regulations and insult and provoke the commoners?"

Bao Zheng nodded.

Two Great Tang special envoys causing trouble in the streets—of course, the reason had to be asked clearly.

But the reason was somewhat laughable.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I asked them why they suddenly wanted to cause trouble in the street.

The one called Old Li hesitated repeatedly, kept his mouth shut, and only explained the reason to me at the end.

He was quite curious about Great Qin's traffic management.

He said he wanted to know why Great Qin's commoners could all obediently follow the regulations.

So he wanted to try it himself to see how Great Qin punishes those who violate the rules!"

This reason actually made sense.

It was just that the method used was a bit foolish.

Qin Mu looked up and laughed.

How could Old Li possibly understand?

It requires every commoner to develop a sense of responsibility as a master of the country.

"He is indeed diligent in state affairs!

It is just a pity that he follows an emperor like Li Er.

A pearl cast into darkness; no matter how diligently one works, how can one change their fate?"

Bao Zheng was slightly stunned.

Is it really that easy to achieve?

The Emperor's words were quite profound.

"Your Majesty, is it not true that hard work can change one's fate?"

The question Bao Zheng asked was very common.

Usually, when adults teach children, they tell them that as long as they work hard, they can change their fate.

Actually, no!

At least in most cases, it is not.

Unless one can be as strong as Qin Mu, forcefully carving out a world in a desperate situation.

If it were anyone else, they would have died in some unknown corner long ago!

This is a miracle.

If one tells every child that hard work can change fate, that is lying to the child.

"Bao Zheng, people sit in different positions, and in their hands, they hold corresponding destiny.

There will be a group of people whose fate is held in your hands.

But your own fate is held in my hands.

Old Li is the same; he has handed his fate to the Great Tang Huang.

Only the Great Tang Huang can change his fate."

This was the first time Bao Zheng had heard such a viewpoint.

Shocking!

This is probably a secret of the royal family that is never passed on, right?

It feels as if everyone in the world has a rope tied around their neck, and that rope is held in the hands of others—the Emperor holds the rope around everyone's neck.

This rope is fate.

"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have met a wise ruler!

If I were like Old Li and Minister Fang, following Great Tang's Li Er, every day would surely be agonizing!"

Being flattered by a serious guy like Bao Zheng felt quite good.

Qin Mu thought for a moment and picked up a book from the table.

"Bao Zheng, take this book to Old Li and Minister Fang.

Tell them to read more when they have nothing to do while in jail."

Pfft...

Bao Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Locking these two foreign envoys in jail was already quite outrageous.

This kind of concern from the Emperor is like punching someone in the eye and then giving them a handkerchief to cover the bruise.

It's unclear whether it's comfort or mockery.

Bao Zheng respectfully took the book and looked at the title.

"Starting from Scratch"

Bao Zheng chuckled again.

If this isn't blatant mockery, what is?

Everyone knows that the Emperor was persecuted by Great Tang and fled the country alone.

Under extremely difficult circumstances, he started from scratch.

In a short time, he created such a vast Great Qin Empire.

Now, he has written it into a book to mock Great Tang.

Very good!

And once this book is put on the market, it will surely be snatched up like crazy.

Besides those Great Tang nobles, who doesn't like to read about the Emperor's success story?

But when the Great Tang nobles see it, they will probably be so angry they'll vomit blood!

The more successful the Emperor is, the more it highlights how much of a failure the Great Tang nobles are!

"As you command!

I will surely make them read this book thoroughly while in jail.

After that, there will be an exam; if they don't pass, they are not allowed to leave!"

This... Bao Zheng can be quite ruthless when he gets playful!

Qin Mu waved his hand and let Bao Zheng go.

Actually, Bao Zheng misunderstood his meaning.

This book explains in detail the foundation of Great Qin's establishment.

It is to pull down the high-and-mighty nobles.

And push up the commoners at the bottom.

To achieve equality for all!

With this foundation of equality, the commoners will develop a sense of belonging to the country.

Naturally, they will take the initiative to protect this vast empire.

With the commoners working hard, as an emperor, there is no need to do anything else.

One can easily govern a vast empire.

This is the answer Old Li is looking for!
