Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

After saying this, perhaps because he felt that he had spoken too harshly before, he turned his gaze to the group of people in Yingtian Prefecture outside the window who were shouting "Your Highness the Prince of Qin" and "Your Highness the Prince of Jin" indignantly.

Her eyebrows knitted slightly, and with a complicated expression, she whispered, "From the perspective of a ruler, sacrificing a small number of people to save so many poor people in the Ming Dynasty is an impeccable act."

Even she didn't notice it.

There was actually a hint of heartache in those beautiful eyes.

After pondering for a moment, she remembered that "Tong Yun" standing next to her seemed to have never said anything. He just quietly looked at the hustle and bustle outside the window. That look was as if he was standing high above and overlooking something.

"Tong Yun, do you think what I said is wrong?" Xu Miaojin asked.

She and Zhu Yunhuan talked about the past and present, anecdotes and miscellaneous things, the world, the earth, the stars and the sea... She always felt that the young man beside her was an insightful, calm, sharp and wise person, and he should not be so silent at this time.

When Xu Miaojin asked this.

Zhu Yunhuan withdrew his gaze from Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang who were passing by the window, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Xu Miaojin's question.

Do you agree with what Xu Miaojin said? I really don't agree.

He always pursues perfection in everything he does and is a typical "only children make choices, I'm an adult, I want them all" type of person.

He hated sacrifice and choosing between two options the most.

There was a pause.

Zhu Yunhuan didn't hide anything, and smiled calmly with interest, saying, "Sacrificing the interests of a small number of people to satisfy the interests of the majority is a seemingly reasonable choice when there is a huge disparity in numbers, such as one person and ninety-nine people, or ten people and ninety people, but..."

"What if there are forty-nine people and fifty-one people? Do you think this is still reasonable?" Zhu Yunhuan looked at Xu Miaojin and asked back.

This was a topic that was often discussed on the Internet in the past, and it was also a topic that had never been concluded.

In Zhu Yunhuan's view, the best option is to prevent this issue from arising! - through advance preparation, planning, arrangement, planning, prediction, and avoidance.

He follows this principle in everything he does.

Xu Miaojin had never thought of the angle proposed by Zhu Yunhuan. She had always subconsciously felt that it was a good deal for a small number of people compared to the majority of people. She had never thought about it more deeply, or she had never paid attention to it.

Therefore, this time it was Xu Miaojin's turn to remain silent.

I didn't know how to answer Zhu Yunhuan's question for a moment.

After a while, she frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said sadly: "I... don't know either."

Of course she couldn't make a decision all of a sudden.

Not to mention her, no one, including so many philosophers in later generations and so many wise netizens on the Internet, could come to a conclusion on such a topic.

But the next moment.

Her beautiful eyes turned slightly.

He seemed unconvinced and said, "But the young emperor's current method is already the best solution. No one else could come up with such a method! Many poor people can only hope for less snow every winter and live at the mercy of fate."

"And in this matter, he certainly has more peaceful means to make the people of Yingtian Prefecture less resentful of him. He can delay it for a year or two, but that would mean saving fewer people."

"But no one would accuse him of this. After all, it's understandable that he couldn't solve something that so many emperors from ancient times to the present hadn't been able to resolve."

"Just because he didn't choose that."

"He is already worthy of respect. Why would we nitpick and accuse him of abandoning that small group of people?"

Obviously, Xu Miaojin deviated from the topic raised by Zhu Yunhuan and directly focused on the most practical things to refute Zhu Yunhuan.
