Inside Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng's eldest son, Fusu, was reading the report sent by the Black Ice Platform with a livid face. It had been a month since Ying Zheng had gone missing. However, they still did not find any clues.
"Imperial Father has already disappeared for a month, and you guys can't even find a trace of him. What's the use of Great Qin raising you guys for so many years?”
Fu Su's gaze was like a gust of cold wind that swept past, causing the people on the Black Ice Platform to feel a chill in their hearts.
"It was this subordinate who did not do his job well. Please punish me, Young Master.”
"Young Master Fusu, please don't be angry. Now that His Majesty, the Left Prime Minister, and General Meng Tian are missing, the court is in chaos.”
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan, who was standing at the side, advised. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Fu Su with such a face.
The usual President Fu Su gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. No matter the other party's identity or status, Fu Su would always welcome them with a smile and there was no disrespect in his words.
However, the current Fu Su was domineering, cold, and full of the dignity of a superior. He was practically carved out of the same mold as Ying Zheng.
"Sigh, you guys go down and continue to investigate. While investigating the whereabouts of my father, you have to pay more attention to the nobles of the six countries. Recently, there have been rumors in Xianyang City that my father has passed away. I think this rumor should be spread by the nobles of the six countries.”
"Yes, sir!"
The Iron Eagle Warrior, who had managed to escape with his life, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and left in a hurry.
After the Iron Eagle Warrior left, Fu Su sat on the ground as if he had lost his backbone. Wang Wan quickly helped him up.
"Young Master, you still need to preside over the government. You must take care of your health.”
Fu Su used Wang Wan's arm to stand up again. After hearing that his father had gone missing, he felt as if the entire sky had collapsed.
However, as the eldest son of Ying Zheng, he knew that he could not fall at this critical moment. If he really fell, the foundation that Ying Zheng had worked so hard to build would be destroyed, and this was something that no one wanted to see.
"Thank you for your concern, Right Prime Minister.”
"Half a month ago, this old man wrote a letter to General Wang Jian, who was idle at home. After General Wang Jian learned that His Majesty had gone missing, he immediately decided to return to the mountains and bring his grandson to the border to stabilize the morale of the army. He should have arrived by now. With General Wang Jian's prestige, nothing should have happened.”
Fu Su nodded. It was currently the autumn harvest period, and the Xiongnu invaded Great Qin the most frequently. Meng Tian, who was supposed to guard the border, had suddenly disappeared. If they did not send someone they could rely on, Great Qin's border would be in danger.
"As the rumors spread, more and more officials began to suspect that Imperial Father had passed away. The nobles of the six dynasties had been quiet for a few years, but now they're starting to move again. If Imperial Father isn't found, Great Qin will fall into chaos in a few months.”
How could Wang Wan not know what Fu Su had said? It had only been three years since the Qin State unified the six states, and the hearts of the people were still uncertain. However, the backbone of the entire Qin Dynasty had disappeared at this time. How could those nobles of the six states who wanted to restore the country give up this heaven-sent opportunity?
In addition to Ying Zheng's disappearance, all of his sons had also started to become active. Who would not want to sit on the throne of the Supreme Being of the world?
However, with Brother Zheng around, they did not dare to jump around. In addition, with the outstanding eldest son, Fu Su, around, they hid their little thoughts.
Now that Brother Zheng had disappeared and the heir had not been decided, it meant that they still had a chance. Therefore, many young masters began to contact the officials in the court, wanting to take advantage of Brother Zheng's disappearance to fight.
Great Qin had already reached a situation where it was trapped internally and externally, and it was in danger of being destroyed at any moment.
Wang Wan hesitated for a moment before saying to Fu Su,"
"Young Master Fusu, there is actually another way to quickly stabilize the government and also to stop the restless nobles of the six dynasties.。”
Before Wang Wan could finish, Fu Su interrupted him and said,"
"Right Prime Minister, there is no need to say anything more. Right now, Imperial Father is only missing. If Fu Su really did this, what difference is there between him and a traitor plotting to usurp the throne?”
Fu Su also knew what Wang Wan was talking about. Although his brothers had begun to win over the officials in the court, the prestige that he, Fu Su, had accumulated in the court for so many years was not something that they could easily shake.
As long as he, Fu Su, created the news that Ying Zheng was already dead, then all the officials in the court would invite him to inherit the throne, and it would not even be meaningful for the clan.
If he ascended to that position, not only would he be able to solve internal problems, he would also be able to pacify external threats. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
However, Fu Su would not do that. He did not want to snatch his father's position when his father said anything, unless he saw his father's corpse.
"Big brother, have you not found Imperial Father yet?”
Just as the two of them were discussing, a slightly soft voice came from outside the hall.
Fu Su turned around and saw that it was his third sister, Ying Zheng's second daughter, Ying Shiman.
"It's Third Sister. We haven't found Father yet. The people who went out to look for Father said that they found Father's carriage in Roaring Tiger Stream. They also found traces of someone living in the wilderness of Roaring Tiger Stream along the way, but they still couldn't find him.”
After he finished speaking, Fu Su fell into deep thought. He had to think about how to intimidate the officials in the morning court tomorrow.
"Roaring Tiger Stream…"
Ying Shiman silently recited this name in her heart. She seemed to have made a decision.
