"Your Highness, Lord Zhao Gao has ordered Mister Gai to enter the palace to protect the Emperor and for you to attend court for a meeting!”
Early in the morning, when Ying Ziye was sleeping with the Moon Goddess, a servant shouted from outside the door.
"I know!"
Ying Ziye yawned, helplessly let go of the beauty in his arms, and sat up with sleepy eyes.
"Your Highness, quickly get up and wash up. Don't miss the time!”
When she heard that the First Emperor had summoned her, the Moon Goddess no longer felt sleepy.
She got up, took the black robe, and helped Ying Ziye put on his clothes.
"Sigh, you have to go to court so early!”
Ying Ziye yawned as he reluctantly put on his robe.
"Who asked you to change your style and only rest when it's almost dawn!”
"Serves you right!"
Yueshen glared at him and yawned.
This kid was too playful. He was a grandmaster, but he was tired until he collapsed!
She didn't even get a good rest!
"Cough, cough…! It's all because of you!"
Ying Ziye pinched her beautiful chin, got up, and went out.
Then, he ordered people to drive the carriage straight to the Imperial Palace.
"Going out alone?"
"What a good opportunity!"
"Unfortunately, I can't kill you now!”
Behind him, seeing that he had only brought a hundred guards with him, Zhao Gao's malicious face revealed a trace of coldness.
Ge Nia had just left and was on his way to the palace.
They would rush back immediately if they heard any movement!
There was also a Moon Goddess in the residence who would come out to kill him when he heard the sound.
In addition, this kid's mansion was too close to the Imperial Palace. Even if they could succeed, it would be difficult for the people from the Network to escape unscathed.
Most importantly, if he killed this kid in front of him, he would be the most suspicious!
Therefore, now was not the best time to make a move!
"
These Qilu Confucians are too arrogant. After I went to Mount Tai to worship, there was a drought in the Central Plains. They actually spread rumors that it was caused by my loss of virtue and tyranny!”
"And the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the nobles of the Six Nations also called me a tyrant!”
"How preposterous!"
In the imperial court, looking at the reports gathered from all over the country, the First Emperor Ying Zheng was furious.
He threw a pile of memorials all over the ground and paced back and forth in embarrassment.
The officials below looked at each other and did not dare to speak, afraid that they would be unlucky.
"Fu Su, how do you think this matter should be resolved?”
Seeing that none of the courtiers spoke, Ying Zheng could only ask his three sons.
His intention for the three of them to go to court for a council meeting was obvious.
That was to see which of the three of them was more outstanding, and then choose who to be the crown prince.
Such an obvious intention was naturally understood by all the officials in the court.
Therefore, after hearing the First Emperor Ying Zheng's question, the officials in Fusu's camp immediately became nervous.
If he did not perform well, the First Prince would not have the chance to become the Crown Prince.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, even though those Confucians are hateful, Great Qin has just unified the six countries, and the other countries are still at war.”
"Therefore, your son thinks that gentleness is the best!”
"Otherwise, before the external threat is eliminated, internal threats will arise again, and the Imperial Court will be attacked from both sides!”
Fu Su stood up and cupped his hands.
Hearing his words, Meng Yi and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Especially Chunyu, Yue, and the other great scholars in the court, they all nodded in satisfaction.
They were firm supporters of peace and opposed wars and the suppression of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
"Your son feels that what big brother said is inappropriate!”
As soon as Fu Su finished speaking, Huhai stood up first.
"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?"
Ying Zheng wasn't angry that he answered without asking. He stopped and asked curiously.
"Your son thinks that all those who spread rumors should be executed!”
"If we don't warn them, these rioters will only become more and more rampant!”
"In addition, we will implement a system of joint punishment. If you know that someone is spreading rumors but do not report it, you will be punished with the death penalty!”
Huhai cupped his hands and pretended to be indignant.
In fact, before he came, Zhao Gao had told him to perform well.
Because this concerned the future position of the Crown Prince.
Therefore, when he heard the First Emperor's question, he answered first.
Zhao Gao was his teacher, but he rarely taught him knowledge.
What he taught was all about the emperor's preferences and how to cater to the emperor's preferences.
As for Ying Zheng's attitude towards the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the Confucian scholars, Zhao Gao had already told him.
If the First Emperor had asked him about this, he would have already memorized the answer.
This was also the reason why he had recently surpassed Fu Su and gained the First Emperor's favor.
"Yes!"
As expected, after he finished speaking, Ying Zheng's anger had subsided quite a bit, and he even nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Humph!"
Huhai, who had been appreciated by his father, glanced at Ying Ziye and snorted in his heart.
Today, he had finally turned the tables!
No matter what his Ninth Brother said later, he would be trampled under his feet.
If he agreed with Fu Su's suggestion, his father would definitely be disgusted.
If he agreed with his suggestion, it would undoubtedly be his echo and flattery!
In short, no matter how he answered, he had already stolen the limelight.
"Your Majesty, you can't go all out and slaughter the people!”
"The six countries have just been unified, and the people's hearts are not stable yet. If we add more blood debts, I'm afraid the people will be resentful!”
"This subject believes that the First Prince is right. We should be gentle and not stir up the resentment of the people!”
"The Xia and Shang Dynasties perished one after another because of tyranny. Your Majesty must not repeat the same mistake!”
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng was about to adopt Huhai's suggestion, the scholars and civil officials led by Chunyu Yue all came out to report.
Even Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and the others tried to dissuade him.
"Alright, alright, I didn't say I was going to kill!”
Seeing so many people oppose, Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently.
As someone who was familiar with history books, he naturally knew that the Xia and Shang dynasties had perished because of tyranny.
Therefore, after the unification of the six countries, he introduced many benevolent policies in order to win the hearts of the people of the other six countries.
At this moment, seeing the opposition of the officials, he, who originally wanted to suppress the Confucian scholars and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, wavered.
However, just as he was feeling conflicted in his heart, his gaze fell on Ying Ziye again.
He really wanted to know what his son, who had offered him a brilliant plan yesterday, would think.
…I
feel like crying, sigh…
