Early in the morning, before the first ray of sunlight shone on the tiles of the tallest hall in Xianyang Palace, Fu Su's figure appeared on the square in front of Xianyang Palace.
At this moment, the front of Xianyang Hall was already filled with the civil and military officials of the Qin country as well as the guest ministers.
The civil officials and guest ministers wore crowns on their heads and looked dignified.
The generals wore leather hats and looked majestic.
Fu Su looked at these people and a sense of pride rose in his heart.
These were the wisest and bravest elites of this era. They were a group of people who could work together with the emperor, move freely in the court and in the army, and influence the situation of the world.
And the Qin Country had so many talented people filled with vigor, so why would they worry about not being able to annex the other countries and unify the world?
This was Fu Su's first time attending court, so he did not recognize most of the people in this group.
Therefore, Fu Su only had a gentle smile on his face. Everyone who looked at him smiled and greeted him.
"Hehe, Brother Wang is really attentive. It's your first time attending court, and you're actually up so early!”
A languid voice accompanied by a yawn sounded beside Fu Su's ear, causing the smile on Fu Su's face to change slightly.
When Fu Su heard this voice, he knew it was Huhai.
At the same time, the moment Huhai appeared, the front of Xianyang Palace was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. This was because everyone's eyes were on the brothers, Fu Su and Huhai.
Those who were able to mingle in the Imperial Court of the State of Qin were all shrewd people. Even if they had never seen Fu Su and Huhai before, they could already guess their identities by looking at their words, actions, and clothes.
The well-dressed man with a gentle smile was definitely the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, who was known for his modesty and kindness.
The one with the arrogant smile on his face and the different colors in his eyes must be the eighteenth prince, Huhai, who was rumored to be deep in thought, mature in his youth, and somewhat like the King of Qin.
At this moment, the ministers of the State of Qin all looked at Fu Su and Huhai with different gazes and perspectives.
Some of the old officials of the Imperial Clan in the State of Qin were inclined towards the Eldest Young Master, Fusu, because of the inheritance system of the eldest son.
There were also some who did not think highly of Fu Su's character and were inclined to bet the future heir of the Qin country on Huhai.
However, most of the ministers of the Qin Country were just watching. They didn't have any inclination in their hearts. They were just waiting to see how the two princes of the royal family, Fusu and Huhai, would fight.
Before this, no one would openly help either of the two young masters.
Fu Su was extremely clear about the thoughts of the many Qin ministers.
Therefore, in front of all the civil and military officials, Fu Su didn't make frivolous and provocative words like Huhai. Instead, the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Long time no see. Seeing that Eighteenth Brother is still in such good spirits, I can rest assured.”
Fu Su's reply was mocking Huhai, but it was like an antelope hanging its horn. It was untraceable, causing Huhai's expression to become unnatural.
It was a kind of nameless fire that was depressed in his heart but could not be vented on the spot.
However, Huhai was indeed one of the more scheming ones among his peers.
Under the gaze of the many ministers of the Qin country, Huhai quickly suppressed his anger and a smug smile appeared on his face,
"I was relieved of the remaining two months of confinement because Minister Lu pleaded with my father. I was able to sit in court with Brother Wang and learn a thing or two.”
Huhai was provoking Fu Su again. He was telling Fu Su that he had the backing of Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin.
At this moment, Huhai looked at Fu Su with disdain and mockery in addition to provocation.
In Huhai's opinion, although Fu Su had made him suffer a setback a month ago, he had offended Prime Minister Lu Buwei and the most powerful person in the entire State of Qin. He could not see the situation clearly.
Therefore, Huhai felt that although Fu Su could still appear in front of him, he would be killed by him and Lu Buwei soon!
"You think you can compete with me, Huhai, for the throne of the Qin country with a person like you who thinks you're so noble and can't see the situation clearly?”
Huhai sneered in his heart, but his eyes showed all these emotions in front of Fu Su.
"In that case, Brother Wang must not let down the high hopes of Father and Prime Minister Lu. You must repent and reflect on your mistakes!”
Fu Su remained unmoved. He smiled and spoke. Then, he no longer looked at Huhai. Instead, he stood in front of the officials.
That was the position of the Eldest Young Master of the State of Qin. Even though the State of Qin did not have a Crown Prince yet, Fu Su was the eldest due to his age. In terms of position in the Imperial Court, he was ahead of Huhai.
This scene instantly made Huhai's eyes darken. His hateful gaze was like a sharp arrow that shot fiercely at Fu Su's back.
"The time has come. Officials, please come to the palace!"
At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded from the entrance of Xianyang Palace. The eunuch on duty was calling for all the officials to come to the palace.
Therefore, the officials of the Qin State all took off their swords and shoes outside the Xianyang Hall and entered through the doors on both sides.
It was not until all the officials were seated that Ying Zheng's figure appeared in the hall.
However, this was still far from the beginning of the court session. Lu Buwei, whose hair and beard were half white, slowly walked into the hall with a cough and a fierce aura.
"Welcome, Prime Minister!"
All of a sudden, all the officials in the court shouted and bowed to Lu Buwei.
Ying Zheng was also sitting on the throne, nodding slightly to Lu Buwei to show his respect for the Prime Minister of Qin State.
However, the moment Ying Zheng lowered his head, an invisible flame flashed across his eyes. It was the flame of humiliation and anger!
After Lu Buwei sat down on the seat of the head of the officials, Ying Zheng finally sat down on the throne.
This was Fu Su's first time attending court, but what he saw made him feel a mix of emotions.
In Qin, everyone knew how powerful Lu Buwei was.
Even in the Imperial Court, all the officials bowed to Lu Buwei before bowing to Ying Zheng.
Although this seemed to be a matter of etiquette, in fact, being worshipped one after another represented a different status in the State of Qin and the Imperial Court.
It could be said that if his father, Ying Zheng, wanted to gain a proper reputation in the Qin State, and one day completely grasp the power of the Qin State, he would not only have to win the hearts of the courtiers and control the military power, but also have to change the etiquette of the court.
Otherwise, if everyone in the State of Qin only knew how to worship Lu Buwei first, they would subconsciously fear Lu Buwei more than Ying Zheng, the King of Qin!
Therefore, at this moment, Fu Su's voice rang out at an inappropriate time amidst the clamor of the officials,"
"This subject Fu Su greets Your Majesty!"
In an instant, the court was silent for a moment, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves!
