"Your son will obey."
Ying Mo said in a calm tone, as if this wasn't an important task, but an ordinary commission.
However, Ying Mo's expression was calm, and the surrounding officials immediately felt like they had been struck by lightning!
Everyone was shocked.
What was that?
Did he hear wrongly? The Thirteenth Prince actually agreed?
This was something that no one had expected. At this moment, these civil and military officials felt that they couldn't understand this mediocre Thirteenth Prince.
Could it be that his mind was really confused by the power of governing the country?
Ever since the Great Qin Empire was established, it had been extremely powerful and looked down on the world. The Emperor Shi's might could even challenge the Celestial Thearch. Even the high and mighty immortals and Buddhas had to bow to the Emperor Shi when they saw him.
This was the vassal nature of power. After all, the First Emperor had the power to control the lives of billions of people. Ying Mo's mind was still immature, and he didn't know how troublesome this was. Perhaps he only saw the might on the surface, but didn't know the price behind it.
Zhao Gao's confident smile froze on his face, but he quickly hid it and looked at Ying Mo with a meaningful look.
The moment Zhao Gao saw his gaze, he suddenly felt that the Thirteenth Prince was a little unfamiliar.
He was thinking about all of this in his mind. He had been able to reach his current position and become Huhai's teacher not because of his powerful cultivation base or outstanding military achievements, but because of his intelligence.
At this moment, he was curious why the First Emperor would hand over the power to the Thirteenth Prince.
Moreover, the Thirteenth Prince had accepted it calmly.
Could it be that this father and son pair had discussed this beforehand?
But that wasn't right. What did the Thirteenth Prince, Ying Mo, do? How could the power of governing the country be a child's play? The two princes, Fu Su and Huhai, were both quick-witted and had great foresight. They had started to learn the way of governing the country early on. Wasn't this the best opportunity to train and determine the position of the future Crown Prince?
Zhao Gao had actually thought about this day.
He had expected that if the First Emperor wanted to choose the Crown Prince, he would definitely choose between Fu Su and Huhai.
As Huhai's teacher, Zhao Gao had already given Huhai several lessons in advance to teach him how to stand out in such a situation.
Fu Su had a gentle temperament and a benevolent heart. He didn't like to be high-profile. This was a point that could be used. After all, the First Emperor wasn't a low-profile existence. On the contrary, he was domineering and sharp. He was a figure who didn't put the world in his eyes!
Great Qin no longer needed to hide its strength.
Therefore, the First Emperor would definitely appreciate people who were as flamboyant as him.
Kindness doesn't lead to soldiers, kindness doesn't lead to officials, let alone a king.
A general's achievements would cause tens of thousands of bones to wither. Which powerful monarch would not have mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind him?
Not to mention the First Emperor, who had swept across all directions. The power of Karma he had created was enough to make the primordial spirit of the Golden Immortals, who were known to be indestructible, tremble!
However, at this moment, all of Zhao Gao's previous arrangements were in vain. The Emperor had actually chosen the Thirteenth Prince, Ying Mo, who was even more low-key than Fu Su.
How should he guess His Majesty's thoughts?
Or was it that Ying Mo had been hiding his true nature, and only His Majesty had seen through it?
Wang Jian, who was standing by the side, stroked his long beard and sized up Ying Mo with a pair of fierce eyes.
Obviously, this experienced Divine General was also very surprised at this moment.
Wang Jian was not a boorish person who only knew how to kill enemies; he was very meticulous. After all, Great Qin had swept through the Six Directions, and five of them had been conquered by Wang Jian!
In terms of military wisdom, Wang Jian was the most competent person in the entire dynasty.
Wang Jian naturally knew that among the many princes, Fu Su and Huhai were the two with the highest popularity. Among these two, Huhai's limelight was faintly greater.
Huhai was Zhao Gao's student, and Wang Jian had always been wary of Zhao Gao. Subconsciously, he didn't want Zhao Gao to gain any more power. However, the Crown Prince's position was very sensitive, so how could he be qualified to advise him?
The might of the First Emperor wasn't inferior to the Three Royals and Five Emperors. He didn't even care about the will of the Heaven Court. He couldn't change his decision.
However, he did not expect such an accident to happen this time.
Not to mention Huhai, even Fu Su didn't gain His Majesty's favor. Instead, the Thirteenth Prince, Ying Mo, was in charge of the country?
If Ying Mo hadn't come here today, most of the officials who came to the court later wouldn't have known about his existence.
Wang Jian swept a glance at Zhao Gao. Clearly, the other party was unhappy in his heart.
But Wang Jian could accept it.
He believed in His Majesty's judgment!
Moreover, Prince Ying Mo wasn't Zhao Gao's subordinate. Wang Jian's intuition told him that it wasn't a bad thing to keep the future Crown Prince away from Zhao Gao.
Prime Minister Li Si also looked at Ying Mo in surprise.
He was not surprised by this result.
It wasn't that he knew Ying Mo very well, but he knew the First Emperor. If everyone could guess His Majesty's thoughts in a few moves, what means would he have to unify the world and sweep away the six dynasties?
As the saying went, a tiger father would not have a dog son.
Li Si wouldn't be surprised if someone like Qin Shi Huang appeared in his descendants.
After all, Prince Ying Mo was still young, and it was still too early to judge his future based on his past behavior.
Thinking back, when Emperor Shi Huang was a hostage in Zhao, he was not as domineering as he was now. Back then, he was also ordinary and had the idea of being content with a little wealth.
However, such a natural king would eventually awaken the imperial aura in his heart!
Perhaps the Thirteenth Prince, Ying Mo, was the same?
Perhaps, he was just like the First Emperor, lacking an opportunity?
Did the First Emperor see through the potential and special qualities of his son, and thus took this special position as an opportunity to test Ying Mo?
If that was the case, it was somewhat like His Majesty's style.
After the other founding ministers whispered to each other, they fell silent.
After all, it was a foregone conclusion.
Zhao Gao was naturally unwilling, but he could only suppress his thoughts at this moment. With a playful smile on his face, he said,
"Your Royal Highness, the position of the country's governor is held by the capable. I hope you won't disappoint His Majesty.”
Zhao Gao sounded like he was encouraging Ying Mo, but to anyone who heard his words, it was obvious that he was mocking Ying Mo for his lack of ability!
Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and the other generals who had never gotten along with Zhao Gao also frowned.
However, they would not stand up for Ying Mo at this moment.
Ying Mo needed to show enough strength to gain everyone's approval.
Moreover, with the First Emperor still around, it would be a taboo for civil officials and generals to openly help a prince.
Zhao Gao was about to leave when Ying Mo, who had been looking calm all this while, suddenly said,"
"Zhao Gao, stop."
Zhao Gao was stunned and slowly turned his head.
The other ministers were also confused. Since the matter had already been decided, why did Ying Mo call Zhao Gao?
Did he see that Zhao Gao was dissatisfied with him and wanted to take the opportunity to express his goodwill?
Or did he suddenly go back on his word and want Zhao Gao to report to His Majesty to retract the order and choose someone else?
No matter which one it was, it would undoubtedly disappoint the civil and military officials.
However, right after that, they heard Ying Mo's cold voice.
Did I let you go?"
