"Oh? What conditions?"
? Ying Zheng seemed to be surprised by his actions. He frowned and asked curiously.
"Your son is used to being undisciplined, and I'm afraid it'll be difficult for him to adapt to the court's restrictions.”
"So, Imperial Father, please allow your son to have the right to not attend court every day!”
"Otherwise, for the position of Crown Prince and the important task of eliminating the remaining evil spirits of the six countries, Father can only choose another wise person!”
Ying Ziye slightly cupped his hands and chuckled.
When he heard his father announce the crown prince, he was quite surprised.
However, he did not reject it and accepted the order gladly.
However, he was used to being a salted fish. He did not want to wake up earlier than a chicken every day and follow a bunch of old fellows to the morning court.
Wasn't it nice to hug his wife to sleep at home?
"This…Alright, as long as you are willing to be the Crown Prince, Zhen will allow it!”
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
He had no choice. If he didn't agree, this kid might very well take on the burden and quit.
This kid had the talent to stabilize the country. It would be a pity to lose him!
Moreover, among so many princes, only this son understood him the most and was the most suitable to be the crown prince!
As for the other princes, they were all idiots!
Although the First Prince was benevolent and filial, he had been led into a ditch by the Confucians. If the Great Qin Empire were to be handed over to him, it would probably be torn apart very quickly!
Although the Eighteenth Prince was to his liking, he only knew how to talk and could not see through the problem!
Therefore, whether it was resourcefulness or talent in governing the country, this Ninth Brother was the most suitable!
This was also the reason why he had suddenly announced the crown prince!
"This, this…?"
All the civil and military officials looked at the father and son on the stage and felt as if they were dreaming.
The princes fought for the position of Crown Prince with their heads bleeding.
However, the sun had risen from the west today, and there was actually someone who did not want to be the Crown Prince?
Moreover, he threatened to refuse to be the Crown Prince and raised conditions with the First Emperor.
What was unbelievable was that Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, actually agreed!
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
Just as the ministers were feeling incredulous, Ying Ziye smiled and thanked his father.
"You brat, don't disappoint this one's expectations!”
Seeing his cheeky smile, Ying Zheng glared at him.
"Your son will not disappoint Imperial Father…!”
Ying Ziye solemnly bowed, then laughed again." Father, I have another request.”
"What's the matter?"
Ying Zheng frowned and pretended to be angry as he glared at him.
He had already promised this kid that he would not attend the court. He was afraid that he would make any excessive requests.
"Your son wishes to request Imperial Father to issue an imperial edict!”
"What imperial edict?"
Ying Zheng looked at him in confusion. He didn't know what he was up to.
"Imperial Father, please issue a decree to order Prime Minister Li Si to be in charge of pushing for the land and tax reform. The other three dukes and nine ministers will assist from within. The deadline is half a year!”
"If you can't complete anything within half a year, you will be punished for rebelling against the imperial edict. Not only will your entire family be executed, but your entire family will also be exterminated!”
Ying Ziye straightened his face and said in a clear voice.
"Ah…?"
The three dukes and nine ministers all gasped when they heard what he said.
This kid was too ruthless!
They were also nobles and had countless properties under their names.
It was fine if they had to hand over their land, but they were actually going to make them enemies with the nobles of the world?
This was pushing them into the fire pit!
"Haha…!"
Just as the three dukes and nine ministers were on the verge of tears, Ying Zheng suddenly burst into laughter.
In fact, at first, he thought that his son wanted to be lazy and pushed the reform of land taxes to the ministers in the court.
However, after pondering for a moment, he instantly understood!
This kid was using someone else's knife to kill him!
Although this kid was the crown prince and had the support of the emperor, it was very difficult for him to affect the interests of the nobles!
Not to mention the nobles of the six dynasties, even the nobles in the imperial court would probably be difficult to deal with.
However, if the three dukes and nine ministers, the nobles with the highest official positions, were to push for the reform, it would be different!
These people not only had administrative experience, but they also had influence!
If he pushed it with all his might, it would be completed very quickly!
In addition, the deadline was half a year!
If he couldn't complete it within half a year, his entire family would be executed and his entire family would be executed!
This move was too ruthless!
But it was also very brilliant!
Forcing the three dukes and nine ministers to complete the mission!
"Of course, if the three dukes and nine ministers can complete the mission, they will also be rewarded handsomely. Not only will the land under their names not be confiscated, but the gold that they lost to your son's mansion yesterday will also be returned!”
Ying Ziye continued.
"What a good combination of kindness and might!"
Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng secretly cheered in his heart!
First, he had to complete the mission within a time limit. Otherwise, his entire family would be executed!
Next were the benefits. If they could hand over the decree on time, they would be rewarded with land and gold!
And this so-called reward was actually something that belonged to the officials themselves. The imperial court did not need to spend any money!
This was the way to control officials!
"Phew…!"
It was said that if they completed the mission, they would be able to keep their land and return the gold they lost yesterday.
Li Si and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as they didn't confiscate their land!
In addition, the mansions that they lost yesterday, after being discounted, each of them had a minimum of 20,000 gold taels!
If he could return the money, it would be a huge sum of money!
No!
The land was his, and the gold was theirs!
So the Imperial Court didn't bleed at all?
They were all using their things as rewards?
"Everyone, listen up. I order Prime Minister Li Si to be in charge of promoting the land and tax reform. The other three dukes and nine ministers will assist.”
"If you fail to complete the mission within half a year, you will be punished for defying the imperial edict and your entire family will be exterminated!”
"If the decree is handed over on time, the family's land does not need to be confiscated, and the gold that was lost to the mansion will also be returned! Respect this!"
Just as they were feeling both happy and worried, Ying Zheng issued an imperial edict with a cold and solemn expression!
"This, this…?"
"Sigh…!"
"We have received the decree!"
Li Si and the others were a little dejected at first, but when they saw that there was nothing they could do, they could only sigh and reluctantly accept the decree!
"If you have something to report, then withdraw from the court!”
"We will take our leave!"
……
Looking at this data, he really wanted to cry…
