"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"Although the Confucian Sect does have a few scums, their contributions to educating the people over the centuries are indelible. We can't just act rashly!”
"If Prince Changfeng really enters the Residence of Confucius and acts recklessly, all the people of insight in the heavens will be completely disappointed in Great Qin!”
"Your Majesty, please quickly issue a decree to immediately send Young Master Changfeng back and give him a heavy punishment!”
"Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
"Your Majesty, please issue the decree quickly!"
Before Wang Ben could speak again, a group of officials and advisors who were on good terms with the Confucianists jumped out and shouted in pain.
"Humph!"
"They're just a bunch of selfish scum who call themselves sages. According to Great Qin's laws, it's not too much to kill three races. Why can't they be taught a lesson?”
"You still have the nerve to say that the Confucian Sect is educating the people of the world. Do you know how high the threshold for entering the Confucian Sect is? Even the slightly poorer nobles can't afford it, let alone commoners!”
"And don't forget that the Confucian Sect hasn't expelled the traitorous Zhang Zifang from the sect. Isn't this enough to prove everything?”
Left Prime Minister Li Si snorted and said with disdain.
His relationship with the Confucian Sect had long since become a deadly enemy. Now that he had a rare opportunity to kick someone when they were down, how could Li Si miss it?
Moreover, with Li Si's many years of experience following the First Emperor, he naturally understood that the First Emperor had long been dissatisfied with the Confucian Sect.
Otherwise, how could he have treated Ying Changfeng's previous actions lightly, and even used his power to expel Chunyu Yue and the others from the imperial court?
"Preposterous!"
"Don't forget that Lord Prime Minister once received the Confucian Sect's teachings. Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you today?”
"So it seems that the so-called master-disciple relationship of the Confucian Sect is more important than the laws of Great Qin and more important than loyalty to His Majesty!”
"No wonder Prince Eternal Wind couldn't stand it. If it were me, I wouldn't let you off either!”
Since Li Si had been able to climb all the way to the position of Prime Minister in the Imperial Court, he naturally did not lack trusted aides. Seeing that Li Si was being surrounded, they immediately jumped out.
The originally peaceful royal court immediately broke into a commotion.
In the end, even many neutral officials were implicated.
Ying Zheng's face turned colder and colder.
Just like Changfeng had said, this group of officials was slowly being corrupted by power, and they already placed their personal interests above Great Qin's country.
Even Li Si and Wang Wan were no exception!
Do these people really think that my sword is at a disadvantage?
Ying Zheng glanced indifferently at the quarreling courtiers, and a hint of fierceness appeared in the corner of his eyes.
At this moment, Xin Sheng, who was taking over Zhang Han's position as the temporary commander of the Imperial Guards, suddenly walked in quickly.
The originally noisy royal court suddenly paused.
This Xin Sheng was even more low-profile than Zhang Han. If it wasn't for something important, he definitely wouldn't be like this.
Could it be that something big had happened?
Everyone could not help but guess.
"Your Majesty, General Zhang requests an audience with His Highness!”
"It is said that he has brought a handwritten letter from Young Master Changfeng, hoping to present it to His Majesty in person!”
Xin Sheng said cautiously.
"Pass!"
Ying Zheng's voice became slightly anxious.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Soon, Zhang Han walked in quickly and bowed.
"No need for formalities!"
"Where is Changfeng now?"
Ying Zheng said with concern.
Ying Changfeng was not only his son, he was also the only heir that he could see with the bearing of a king. Under the circumstances where Ying Zheng's body was no longer as strong as before, he was also an important guarantee for the Great Qin Empire.
If something happened to Ying Changfeng, even Ying Zheng himself was not sure if he could find another son with such potential. This was definitely the last thing Ying Zheng wanted to see.
"Your Majesty, His Highness is currently in Lu County."
Zhang Han had just opened his mouth when the court was in an uproar again.
"Your Majesty!"
Zuo Si, who had a close relationship with the Confucians, immediately rushed forward.
"According to the laws of Qin, how should we deal with the court's disrespectful behavior?”
Ying Zheng's voice was incomparably cold.
"Your Majesty, if it's light, you'll be beaten twenty times. If it's heavy, you'll be dismissed as a citizen and never be used again!”
Meng Yi, the imperial censor, came forward to report.
"Then punish him according to the law and let him go home and reflect on himself!”Ying Zheng waved his hand expressionlessly. Immediately, a lieutenant of the Imperial Guards entered the royal study and took off Zuo Si's crown and official robe.
Looking at Zuo Si, who was dragged out like a dead dog, the ministers couldn't help but shiver.
After a long time of appeasement, they had actually forgotten the thunderous methods of His Majesty in the past!
Wang Wan and the others, who had intended to intercede for the Residence of Confucius, all shrank back, lowering their heads, afraid of meeting Ying Zheng's eyes.
"Continue!"
Ying Zheng glanced at all the officials in the court indifferently and said expressionlessly.
