You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 264 Hierarchical System

"My lords," I say, "I believe they should be severely punished. Those demons are defying our teachings and wantonly slaughtering human people. Once this precedent is set, those demons will no longer have any respect for us humans..."

"If this continues, it will surely shake the rule of our Great Qin..."

"That's right, the Great Qin is the Great Qin of our human race. The demon race is just our prisoner. How dare they slaughter our human people? They deserve to die!"

"Yes! They must be severely punished to teach those demons a lesson!"

"However, this might cause discontent among the demon races and shake the rule of our Great Qin!"

"Hmph! The demon race is nothing but a defeated foe of my Great Qin. If they dare to resist, we can simply send a large army to their borders and wipe them all out once and for all!"

"..."

In the imperial court, most ministers supported severely punishing the offending demon, while only a small number of ministers worried that severe punishment might cause discontent among the demons and thus shake the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Xiao He and the others, who were positioned in front of the many ministers, remained silent, all closing their eyes to rest and await Ying Chen's arrival.

Before long, Ying Chen arrived!

"Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty live forever!"

Upon Ying Chen's arrival, the ministers in the main hall bowed and greeted him.

"My beloved subjects, you may dispense with the formalities!"

Ying Chen waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Emperor!"

The ministers all straightened up and said.

"How have things progressed regarding the matter of Dongtianhu Prefecture?"

After Ying Chen sat down, he asked.

"Your Majesty! The ministers have differing opinions, and a specific course of action has not yet been decided!"

Xiao He stepped forward and said respectfully.

Ying Chen frowned slightly upon hearing Xiao He's words, showing some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, this matter is neither a huge nor a small one!"

"We ministers are truly at a loss for words; we beg Your Majesty to make the decision yourself!"

Xiao He then went on to talk about money.

The conflict between transgender people and transgender people will have to be addressed sooner or later.

Due to racial differences, it is very difficult for the two races to live together peacefully.

Especially now, since the Qin Dynasty has just conquered them, they have not yet come to identify with the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Chen pondered for a moment with a grave expression, then stood up and said, "Since you cannot handle this, then I will handle it myself..."

"From this day forward, the Great Qin Dynasty shall implement a hierarchical system!"

"Humans are in the first tier, other races that have contributed to humanity are in the second tier, ordinary other races are in the third tier, and those other races who have committed sins and their descendants are in the fourth tier..."

"Each rank is strictly hierarchical, with higher ranks indicating greater status..."

"If a lower-level being offends a higher-level being, it will be severely punished!"

"Those beings at lower levels are not without the opportunity to become higher-level beings. However, to improve their level, they must do things that benefit our Great Qin and undergo an assessment. Only by passing the assessment can they succeed!"

As Ying Chen finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone was taken aback by Ying Chen's sudden announcement of this policy.

If this policy is announced, it will probably cause a huge uproar!

As for the human race, they are at the highest level and are natural beneficiaries, so they certainly have no complaints.

On the contrary, they will strongly support it.

However, the last three levels are all specifically designed for the demon race.

Are the demon race divided into three levels?

That's a pretty ruthless move; it directly divided me into two groups of demons.

Those demons at the second tier will certainly spare no effort to maintain their status, while those at the third and fourth tiers will work even harder to serve the Qin Dynasty in order to improve their status!

The human race, which occupies the first tier, holds an unshakeable position.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Xiao He was the first to shout.

As Xiao He finished speaking, the ministers came to their senses and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Afterwards, the policies announced by Ying Chen quickly swept across the Qin Dynasty.

The entire Qin Dynasty was in an uproar.

The human race was naturally overjoyed.

Since the Qin Dynasty conquered half of the territory of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, some demon races have also entered the Qin territory.

These demons, relying on their strength, often bully and oppress the human people.

This caused immense suffering to the human people, but due to the strength of the other side, they dared not cause them any trouble, adhering to the principle that it's better to avoid trouble.

The matter was dropped.

However, now, with the announcement of the new policy of the imperial court, the human race has become the first class. As long as they tell the government about the grievances they have suffered, the demon race that bullied them will be punished.

This immediately excited the human people who had been bullied by the demon race.

In an instant, they all headed towards local government offices.

Those demons who oppressed the human people were immediately arrested by the government.

They will face extremely severe punishment.

Unlike the joy of the human people, the demons were furious when they received the policy.

"Why is the human race in the first tier, while my demon race is in the last three tiers?"

"Our demon race is powerful; we should be in the first tier..."

"No! My demon race will never be enslaved! My fellow countrymen, we should unite and resist the unfair policies of the Great Qin..."

Countless demons roared in resentment, disagreeing with the Qin Dynasty's hierarchical policy.

Some powerful demons even gathered their forces, preparing to rebel.

However, they were quickly proven wrong.

There's no need for the main Qin army to intervene.

However, those second-line legions slaughtered all the rebellious demons.

In an instant, the voices of resistance ceased. Some demons even acted as guide demons, leading the Qin army to the territories of those dissatisfied demons in order to obtain the second-level status.

And the Qin Dynasty did not disappoint these demon races.

Those demons who made contributions were also generously granted second-level status.

In a short time, even more demons joined the guide team.

Some demons even endured humiliation and hardship, lurking in the lairs of those traitors to transmit information to the outside world.

As for the previous dissatisfaction, it has completely disappeared without a trace.

To this, the demons who surrendered could only say, "It's really good!"

Within a short period of time, all dissenting voices within the Qin Dynasty vanished completely.

Even if some demons harbored resentment, they could only keep it hidden in their hearts and dared not show it in the slightest.

Inside the imperial palace.

Upon receiving this message, Ying Chen smiled.

The problem of the demon race has been solved.

Although the demon race cannot be in the first tier, they can be in the second tier and are also beneficiaries.

These second-tier demon races will certainly try every means to suppress those dissatisfied demon races in order to protect their own interests.

If this continues, the conflict between the demon race and the human race will shift to the conflict between the third or fourth level demon race and the second level demon race.
