When Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si saw the officials blaming Fu Su, they looked at each other and smiled. It was done!
The First Emperor was furious. He didn't expect his eldest son to do such a stupid thing. What could a son who only knew how to talk about Confucian scriptures use to quell the plague?
Moreover, he turned a deaf ear to the dissuasion of the officials. If such a person ascended the throne, the Great Qin Empire would be in danger!
Thinking of this, the First Emperor decided to send this stubborn Fu Su to a place where he could not see, and that was to send him to the border!
The First Emperor slapped his chair and said,""Men, go to Xianyang City and bring Fusu back!”
Wang Ben, the commander of the black armored guards, cupped his fists and said,""Understood!"
Just as he was about to turn around and arrest this disobedient prince, a young eunuch hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Report!"
"What's the matter?" The First Emperor waved his hand.”
"Your Majesty, the Eldest Young Master has returned to the palace," the young eunuch said respectfully as he knelt on the ground.”
Great, it was better to come at the right time than early. The First Emperor was still in a fit of anger. If he came back at this time, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Huhai grinned secretly.
The First Emperor waved his hand angrily and said,""Let him come up!"
"Yes, sir."
The young eunuch hurriedly got up, turned around, and ran out of the hall, shouting,""His Majesty, the First Emperor, ordered Eldest Young Master to help Su into the palace.”
Huhai and the other two gloated, waiting for this good show.
The officials all looked as if they were watching the show and did not mind the matter getting out of hand. They discussed Fu Su's fate in low voices.
After a while, Fu Su, who was dressed in white, walked into the Mystic Bird Palace Hall. His delicate face was stained with some dirt, but even so, it could not hide his handsome face.
Fu Su walked in the middle of the hall and kowtowed respectfully.""Your son Fu Su greets Imperial Father."
"Humph!" The First Emperor snorted coldly and asked,""You still have the face to return to the palace!"
Hearing this, Fu Su knew that Huhai and the other two had told the First Emperor what had happened. Seeing the civil and military officials watching the show, he knew that he had become the target of public criticism.
However, he didn't care. Then, he said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,"Imperial Father, your son is here to report the plague in Xianyang City.”
He raised his head and looked at the First Emperor. He realized that the First Emperor only had a favorable impression of him of 30!
I'm your son. What the hell is 30? Isn't that too little?
The First Emperor's eyes were filled with anger. How dare you report the plague? Report that you failed to cure the plague? Report that the plague is out of control?
It was unknown whether it was the First Emperor, but all the officials thought so. They were ready to hear what Fu Su had to say about this matter.
Unexpectedly, the First Emperor waved his hand and suppressed his anger."There's no need. Zhen already knows about this matter. You can leave.”
How could this do? I can clearly slap Li Si, Zhao Gao, and the other two in the face, and I can also slap these officials who don't believe me.
It was unknown if Fu Su wanted to say it, but Huhai wanted to hear it even more. He wanted to make Fu Su lose face in front of his father and the officials. Moreover, he could bring up the matter of the poison oath and see if Fu Su would commit suicide!
"Father, your son believes in brother's abilities. Since he can swear with his life, then he must have his reasons.”
Hearing Huhai's words, Zhao Gao echoed,""That's right, Your Majesty. We can't just let this matter go like this. We all believe in the Eldest Young Master's ability.”
How could the officials not know what Huhai meant? Now that Fu Su had done this and Huhai was the First Emperor's favorite child, he would definitely win the Inheritance War.
In other words, Huhai was most likely to become the Crown Prince!
If he didn't express his stance now, when would he?
"Your Majesty, I think Young Master Huhai is right.”
"Your Majesty, since Young Master Fusu can swear, there must be a reason. We might as well listen to what Young Master Fusu has to say.”
"Your Majesty, we all think so!"
In an instant, all the officials fell to their knees. Huhai's lips curled up crazily when he saw this. Didn't this mean that all the officials were on his side?
When the First Emperor saw that all the officials said so, he waved his hand helplessly and said,""Fusu, tell me about the situation in Xianyang City.”
In fact, people misunderstood the First Emperor and said that he was a tyrant. However, among the founding emperors in history, Qin Shi Huang was the only one who did not kill meritorious officials.
Therefore, he cared a lot about the opinions of the officials.
After receiving the approval of the First Emperor, Fu Su stood up and spoke slowly.
Huhai and the other two were waiting for Fu Su to explain the situation before mocking him with a righteous excuse. Now, they were all silent, waiting for Fu Su to speak.
The First Emperor covered his forehead with one hand, feeling embarrassed.
However, they did not expect Fu Su to slowly say,
"Father, your son has already quelled the plague in Xianyang!”
As soon as he said this, the hall was silent at first, then a commotion broke out.
The officials looked at each other in disbelief.
"What? Young Master Fusu said that he cured the plague?”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. There hasn't been any movement in Xianyang City these days.”
"Young Master Fusu must have lied to escape the punishment of Emperor Shi Huang!”
The First Emperor was shocked. He had expected to scold Fu Su, but he didn't expect Fu Su to quell the plague.
Huhai and the other two were in disbelief. This was impossible, absolutely impossible. It had been so long since they had seen Fu Su take care of the people with the plague. Xianyang City was also silent. How did he do it? He must be lying!
Zhao Gao thought about it and asked directly,"Is Young Master Fusu serious?"
" What?" Fu Su's eyes turned cold." Do you think I'm lying to Father?"”
Before Zhao Gao could say anything, the First Emperor asked,""Fu Su, what's going on?”
" Father," Fu Su respectfully cupped his hands and said," Your son has already quelled the plague."”
Huhai couldn't control his temper when he saw this. How could he let you lie to Imperial Father like this?
"Elder brother, you can't prove anything!”
Tsk, tsk, tsk, this person is too much. At the beginning, he was still full of courtesy, but now he directly jumped out to criticize? What happened to the elder brother you said? Are you questioning your father like this?
Hearing Huhai's words, Li Si and the other officials also questioned,"
"Your Majesty, we don't believe Eldest Young Master's words!”
"That's right, Your Majesty. How can the Eldest Young Master do something that even Imperial Physician Xia is helpless about?”
"Your Majesty, please understand!"
"Silence!"
When the First Emperor spoke, no one else spoke.
"Wang Ben, bring some men to Xianyang City to check the situation," he ordered.”
"Yes, sir," Wang Ben said, cupping his hands.
