"Even though Great Qin is powerful, the anti-Qin factions are extremely rampant!”
"Your son believes that the Imperial Court should implement a benevolent policy and soften the hearts of the people to appease them!”
"If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, then the anti-Qin forces will be destroyed!”
"In addition, defending against the Xiongnu and building the Great Wall have almost emptied the treasury!”
"Now, we have sent another 300,000 troops to the south to attack the Bai Yue.”
"If the treasury doesn't have money and grain, it will be collected from the people.”
"In this way, it will only increase the burden of the people!”
"Your son believes that we should delay the southern expedition and rest first. When the Great Qin treasury is full, we can attack the Yue!”
……
In the court, Fu Su spoke with confidence and eloquence, listing out the malpractices of the court one by one.
He had been holding these words in his heart for a long time. Today, his father had issued an edict for them to speak out and remonstrate. It was a rare opportunity.
Thus, he, who was honest and honest, followed Ying Zheng's edict and spoke bluntly about some of the malpractices of the court.
However, what he did not notice was that the civil and military officials who supported him in the hall were all wiping away their cold sweat.
The First Emperor was ambitious and wanted to unify the world. How could he listen to these words?
If they had listened to him, they would have reported to him long ago and not waited until now.
"Sigh…!"
Chun Yuyue sighed softly and shook his head.
He was Pushe, in charge of national studies, and a great scholar of the Confucian school.
And Fu Su's teacher was a great scholar that he had carefully selected from the scholarly faction.
He had spent a lot of effort on Fu Su, and at the same time, he had placed a lot of hope on him.
He did not expect this child to be so honest and actually directly state the maladministration of the court.
Wasn't this making His Majesty feel disgusted?
At this moment, not only him, but Meng Yi, Wang Wan, and the others also shook their heads secretly.
The First Emperor was a hard-line warmonger, and he hated it when people poured cold water on him.
This time, the Eldest Young Master did not know the severity of the situation and proposed a plan to recuperate. It was obviously not pleasing.
He might even touch the reverse scale of His Majesty!
However, they could not help even if they were anxious. They could only leave it to fate and depend on Eldest Young Master's luck!
"Yes! Next!"
What made them secretly relieved was that the First Emperor was neither angry nor happy after listening to the Eldest Young Master's remonstrance. He only gave a faint order.
"Your son thinks…!"
After that, the princes saw that Fu Su did not receive any scolding from their father after pointing out the maladministration of the imperial court, so they followed suit and stood up to report.
However, the malpractices they were referring to were almost all similar to what Fu Su had said, such as stopping the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum and Epang Palace.
Ying Zheng still only nodded lightly and did not express his opinion!
"Your son believes that the Yue is related to the unification of Great Qin, so we shouldn't retreat.”
"On the contrary, we should send more troops to end the battle quickly!”
"Now that the battle is at a stalemate, the consumption is huge!”
"If we can end this quickly, it will save a lot of money and food for our Great Qin treasury!”
When it was Huhai's turn, he remembered that Zhao Gao had once told him about his father's intention to conquer the south, so he played along and proposed to send more troops.
Zhao Gao was his teacher and had served his father for a long time. He knew his father's thoughts like the back of his hand.
Usually, Zhao Gao didn't teach him much knowledge.
However, he had taught him a lot of acting and political skills, as well as his father's thoughts and temperament.
He did not expect that it would actually come in handy today.
Help him resolve this situation of certain death!
"Yes!"
"Not bad!"
As expected, Ying Zheng nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he changed the topic and continued,""This is the end of the interrogation. Next is…"
"Imperial Father, your son hasn't answered the questions yet!”
Just as Ying Zheng was about to announce the next segment, Ying Ziye stood up unhurriedly.
In the Qin Dynasty, the ministers did not kneel down during the morning court. Instead, they just bowed and cupped their hands.
They didn't just stand, but after bowing, they could sit down.
Only in the Song Dynasty did they start to stand up and attend court.
"You…?"
Seeing him get up, Ying Zheng revealed a suspicious expression and frowned slightly.
He had ignored this kid because he didn't want to see him make a fool of himself.
After all, he was her biological son. If he made a fool of himself, she would lose face.
However, this brat did not know what was good for him and actually took the initiative to stand up.
Was he afraid that the officials in the court had not seen enough jokes?
"This kid really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!”
In the court, Feng Jie stroked his beard and sneered.
The question that the First Emperor had given could be said to be a situation of certain death.
The princes didn't even have time to hide, but this kid took the initiative to go up.
He was simply courting death!
This was going to be a good show!
At this moment, he was not the only one. All the officials whose daughters and granddaughters had been harmed were also gloating.
"Imperial Father, your son is also one of the princes!”
"Your son should also participate in this Imperial Palace Examination.”
"Imperial Father, please treat everyone equally and not treat them differently!”
Under Qin Shihuang's surprised gaze, Ying Ziye calmly cupped his hands and said.
"You think you're getting paid? You're still fighting over it, idiot!”
Zhao Gao raised his head and glanced at him. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile as he cursed in his heart.
Huhai and the other ministers looked at him as if he was a fool, almost gloating over his misfortune.
Chunyu Yue even put his hands into his sleeves and squinted his eyes, watching the show.
"Good!"
"Then are you going to point out the maladministration of the Imperial Court?”
"Or do you want to admonish and impeach the officials?”
Ying Zheng was angered by his good-for-nothing son. He glared at him and asked in a bad mood.
"Father, none of them!"
Ying Ziye imitated the tone of the ancients and shook his head.
"Neither?"
Ying Zheng was confused by his words.
He had already made it very clear that the so-called questioning of the government was either to directly report the maladministration of the court or to impeach the ministers.
If you're not, then why are you standing up?
He even wanted to treat everyone equally?
Are you playing with me?
"Your son is not directly reporting the maladministration of the court, nor is he impeaching the ministers, but…"
Ying Ziye raised his head and looked at his father. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"But what?"
Ying Zheng's face was dark as he frowned and asked in a slightly annoyed manner.
The imperial court was not the streets of the city. How could they tolerate this kid's nonsense?
At this moment, he even began to plan how to punish his good-for-nothing son later!
