"Huh!"
Zhao Yan's words immediately reminded Xiao Mu.
What Zhao Yan said made sense - exterminating a clan or slaughtering a city were merely acts of personal vengeance. As compared with those, the edicts of Conquer Barbarians, Exterminate Barbarians or Pacify Chaos - all considered Kill Orders - were far superior.
The former were mere personal revenge, but the latter were truly national level matters.
It would be even better if these were done by the ancient saints during the Conquer Barbarians, Exterminate Barbarians, or Pacify Chaos campaigns.
Xiao Mu had always thought that Zhao Yan was smart. This suggestion made him see her in a new light.
"You make a good point, Zhao Yan," Xiao Mu said immediately, "Let's follow your suggestion and replace the previous Kill Orders with the likes of Conquer Barbarians, Exterminate Barbarians, and Pacify Chaos kind of Imperial Edicts."
Xiao Mu was overjoyed at Zhao Yan's suggestion.
