"His Majesty has already reached the age of sixteen. This official would like to ask, what is Prime Minister Feng's intention in trying so hard to stop him?”
Perhaps it was because he had Tian Zi backing him up, or perhaps it was his first performance after becoming a trusted aide, but Li Si's combat ability was off the charts.
"Li Si, you!"
He subconsciously wanted to refute the other party, but he couldn't find any loopholes. Feng Quji only had time to say the word 'you'.
Whether it was the debate between scholars or the competition between the imperial court, the most important thing was to withstand scrutiny and not break the rules of the game like a shrew.
"Alright, Prime Minister Li, let me ask you…"
"His Majesty has no experience in handling military and political affairs. Even though he is already in his prime, he still needs a necessary period of adaptation.”
Feng Quji let out a heavy breath and finally regained his usual calm mind. He asked in a clear and organized manner.
"His Majesty killed Zhao Gao first and obtained the complete victory of the Palace of Sand Dunes.”
"The White Robed Army that His Majesty personally created, using 7,000 soldiers to fight against 30,000 guards, is a wise move.”
"Your Majesty killed Huhai for the sake of justice and advocated the concept of governing the country by law!”
It was said that Li Si, who was already at his full strength, gave powerful examples to counter Feng Quji.
"Li Si's eloquence is still the best in the world. If this continues, Feng Quji won't be able to hold on.”
Watching that intense battle of words the entire time, Wang Jian shook his head while praising.
"He knew that he would have to face the wrath of the three dukes and nine ministers, but Li Si still appeared before us. How did the emperor do it?”
Thinking of another important factor, the more Wei Liao thought about it, the more he felt it was unbelievable.
Li Si was not a mediocre person. He was one of the best in the world. It was already shocking enough that he was loyal to the emperor, yet he was now facing their collective anger alone.
"Prime Minister Li, it is true that His Majesty has his own strategies, but it does not mean that he has rich experience in handling matters.”
Hearing such a crafty statement, Feng Quji's thoughts quickly changed. He took a step back in order to advance, admitting the fact that Tian Zi had a strategy.
"Your Majesty is too godly. You actually expected Feng Quji to say this.”
Recalling his conversation with Tian Zi, Li Si lost his temper and abandoned the last bit of hesitation he had before coming.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it unbelievable. He had predicted everything exactly. It was too godly.
"Prime Minister Feng, I will convey what His Majesty once said. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? If you can't do a small thing, how can you do a big thing?”
He had been waiting for this sentence. Li Si, with his respect for the emperor, ended today's heated debate with an overwhelming statement.
"How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? How can you achieve great things if you can't do small things…"
This short quote represented many meanings and laid out the basic conditions for governing the country. Feng Quji fell into deep thought, completely devoid of the excitement from the previous debate.
Without a doubt, Tian Zi's words left a deep impression in his heart.
"From what I heard just now, His Majesty has already predicted what Prime Minister Feng will say. If it's really like this, it's too scary!”
Wang Jian's pupils constricted when he heard this incisive statement and Li Si's casual explanation.
"What kind of successor did the first emperor find? It's like the reappearance of the Ancestral Dragon!”
Hearing this, Guigu 'zi's only remaining disciple, Wei Liao, once again let out a deep sigh.
If the first time was a coincidence, the second time was a coincidence, and the third time was a coincidence?
"Your Majesty's knowledge is so profound and incisive. Hurry up and record it.”
Wang Wan, who was very famous in the Confucian school and could be considered a great scholar of the current era, had an obvious dazed expression.
"Hua…la…hua…"
Immediately, Wang Wan took out an unused bamboo slip and started writing with the brush in her hand. It was exactly the 18 characters.
"The strategy of persisting in loyalty to the Son of Heaven was indeed correct from the beginning to the end. This old man dares to conclude that this is another First Emperor.”
Li Si looked at the civil and military officials present as he recalled his encounter at the Sand Dune Palace. He was no longer worried, only relaxed.
As time went on, he would definitely be put in an important position, and he would even become an elder of the two dynasties with extremely high qualifications, reaching the highest peak of power.
"Since Your Majesty said so, then I'll have to trouble Prime Minister Li and I to meet the Emperor together.”
Compared to his previous angry look, Feng Quji's tone was much calmer now. There was a very obvious change.
After that intense debate and that profound famous saying, he had no choice but to make some necessary concessions to the emperor.
"Prime Minister Feng is too polite. We are all working for Great Qin and His Majesty.”
Li Si chuckled when he finally heard Feng Quji give in to Tian Zi.
"Generals and sirs, how is it?”
Seeing Feng Quji compromise with the emperor as if he was compromising with himself, Li Si felt extremely happy.
"Prime Minister Feng, Prime Minister Li, let's go to the Hall of Political Establishment to meet the Emperor. I believe that no one among the three dukes and nine ministers will object.”
From the initial thought of stopping him to the current compromise, Wang Jian naturally had no reason to object. Instead, he wanted to know what the emperor was thinking.
Now that they thought about it carefully, Tian Zi could be said to be one thing after another, forcing them to make concessions and making them feel convinced.
It was too brilliant!
" It's really a replica of the First Emperor. Another Ancestral Dragon has reappeared…"
Wei Liao regained his composure and began to agree with the joke he had made earlier.
Now, it could be said with absolute certainty that Tian Zi's seemingly simple and impulsive actions were actually hiding great wisdom.
"Milords, generals, please…"
Under the Emperor's guidance, Li Si was in a good mood as he continued.
"Prime Minister Li, please."
Wang Jian, Wei Liao, and the other generals, Feng Quji, Wang Wan, and the other civil officials joined the group that was heading to meet the Emperor.
