All the officials in the court gasped.
Although Zijin had already acknowledged his ancestors, many officials still looked down on him.
After all, he had always grown up in the mountains and was no different from a mountain villager.
Many people felt that a prince like this would not have any horizons.
However, these words were like a sword pointing straight at one's heart.
Even Li Si and the others were shocked when they thought about it.
"Young Master Zijin, your words have hit Fusu right in the heart. As the eldest son of Great Qin, if we don't respect Great Qin and respect the scholarly faction, I'm afraid that even without Zijin doing anything, His Majesty will destroy the scholarly faction.”
"However, if he says that he respects Great Qin, then Fusu's might will completely disappear.”
Li Si and the others nodded to themselves and thought highly of Zijin.
Even the First Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
This son of his had given him a surprise.
"You…whether it's the rites of Zhou, the rites of Confucianism, or the rites of Great Qin, they all lead to the same goal. Do you think that Great Qin doesn't need to follow the rites of seniority?”Fu Su thought for a moment and immediately retorted.
However, in response, Zijin revealed a shocked expression.
"What is it? I only know that Great Qin has laws, but I didn't expect Great Qin to be so polite. And he's even as polite as Zhou and Ru?"
After saying this, Fu Su raised his eyebrows and said," Impudent! Nineteenth Brother, do you know that what you said is disgraceful? If outsiders knew about this, how would they view Great Qin? Great Qin's Prince actually doesn't know manners; he will be laughed at by everyone.”
Li Si and the others shook their heads as well. They were clearly unhappy with Zijin's words.
However, Zijin laughed out loud when he heard Fu Su's scolding.
"So Fusu, you also know that you don't know etiquette and will be laughed at by the world.”
"You asked Imperial Father to issue an edict to punish yourself. Do you think this is called knowing etiquette? Once his father offended the world, he would definitely be laughed at by the world. As a son, you were unfilial. As a subject, you let the monarch you served lose face in front of the world. You were disloyal.”
"Imperial Father represents the world, Great Qin, and the people of Great Qin. If you embarrass Imperial Father in front of the world, you'll embarrass the people of Great Qin.”
"As the eldest son of Imperial Father, you are unfilial, disloyal, and unkind. Now, you are bowing in front of me? What a joke. You did such an unfilial, disloyal, and unkind thing, but you came to greet me? Isn't that ridiculous?"
Unfilial, unloyal, unkind!
Every word was like pearls to his heart!
All the officials in the court were stunned when they heard this.
They looked at Zijin in shock. They did not expect Zijin to have unknowingly dug a hole for Fu Su to jump into without him knowing.
"You…You…"
Fu Su's body trembled slightly. If it wasn't for Chunyu Yue's timely support, Fu Su would have fallen on the spot.
"Young Master Zijin, watch your words. Help Young Master Su…"
Chunyu Yue's face was filled with anger. Fu Su was related to his interests. Now that Zijin was so angry at Fu Su, Chunyu Yue naturally would not be nice to Zijin.
"Shut up!"
However, no one expected Zijin to scold Chunyu Yue angrily.
"To think that you're a great scholar. Don't you know this bit of etiquette? This is a conversation between me and Young Master Fusu. Did I allow you to speak? Chunyu Yue, no wonder Fu Su is so unfilial and unfaithful. It turns out that the root of this disaster is on you.”
"You don't even know how to follow etiquette, but you want others to follow it. Do you want me to teach you the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you?”
Zijin scolded Chunyu Yue, causing his face to tremble.
He was extremely furious, but he did not dare to speak anymore. Otherwise, he would really be condemned.
When the First Emperor saw this scene, he was overjoyed. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in the royal court and had to maintain his dignity as an emperor, the First Emperor would have clapped his hands and cheered.
Zijin turned to look at the pale-faced Fu Su.
"Just now, Fu Su, you said that you wanted Imperial Father to blame himself? Wasn't this a joke? Let me ask you, what crime did Imperial Father commit?”
"Fu Su, did you just say that Imperial Father destroyed the six states? Hehe, let me ask you, other than killing those emperors, did father kill all the nobles and commoners of the six states?”
With Zijin's strength, he had naturally heard everything Fu Su had said in the imperial court. It was also because of this that Zijin felt even more disdainful towards Fu Su.
It was because he was brainwashed by the rotten scholar that Fu Su died because of a fake edict.
Fu Su could not help but be stunned. He immediately shook his head." No."”
"In an era of war, it is always the end of 'either you die or I die'. Do you think that we should implement your so-called benevolence and righteousness in such a chaotic world? When others attack us, should we also be at the mercy of others?”
"It's ridiculous! You enjoyed the blessings brought by unification, but instead, you scolded unification for not being good. You didn't forget to dig the well when you drank water. You were good. You drank your fill, but you pointed at this well and cursed how you could dig a well here?”
"To put it bluntly, if Qin Unifies, you are Young Master Fusu. If Qin Unifies, you are nothing!”
