"Whoosh."
All of the Ministers 'faces were filled with shock. Their logical thinking was still limited to attacking, and such a method of attacking was not good for Great Qin to consolidate its strength.
Back then, when he swept across the six states and unified them, it was also a huge blow. After ten years of settling down, he was able to achieve today's prosperity.
The opening of the Empire Power Ranking made the world understand that there was still a long way to go in the future. With Shi Huang's temperament, he would definitely fight endlessly.
This plan had avoided wasting manpower and money, and it had even produced unexpected results.
F * ck, Master Zheng is good. How did he come up with this plan? Why did it feel a little familiar?
Yes, sowing discord between the Yue clan and the Xiongnu. Wasn't this what I thought of before? It's just that Lord Zheng used the Yue clansmen to cause trouble in the Peacock Dynasty, making the entire plan even more detailed.
As expected of the one emperor of the ages. This shrewdness and strategy could be called the god of war!
This series of monologues in his heart made Ying Zheng feel very comfortable.
Previously, Ying Lan had scolded him for being an old fellow and cursed him for not having long to live. This was the first time he had been so convinced.
What was even more amazing was that this was originally Ying Lan's scheme, but he 'plagiarized' it and then modified it, resulting in such a grand scheme!
"Not only did Your Majesty unify the six countries and pacify the Central Plains, but with such a strange plan, in time, you will be able to take over the Xiongnu, Yue clan, and even the Peacock Dynasty. At that time, you will expand your territory and become the number one empire in ten thousand years!”Zhao Gao's face was full of admiration, and his words were soul-stirring.
" Alright, if you have the time to think about these fancy compliments, why don't you think about it more? A good plan to improve the people's livelihood and the country is not a good plan to coax me so that the people of the world can live a good life. You have to learn a lot from Lan 'er in this aspect!”Ying Zheng was not only beating them up, but also criticizing them.
Zhao Gao's face turned red and he lowered his head." Your Majesty is right.”
Recently, the First Emperor had changed a lot. In the past, he would say all these beautiful words and make the First Emperor happy. Now, he actually started to ostracize him.
Zhao Gao understood that this was closely related to Huhai's fall from favor. He was Huhai's teacher, and his status was not as high as before.
"Lan 'er is concerned about the world and the people. Not only did he provide the blueprints for farming, but he also mass-produced high-quality crops such as potatoes and corn. In this aspect, he is the first person since ancient times. I have decided to make him the Marquis of Tongnong and the heir apparent of Great Qin!”Shi Huang's eyes were burning as he said in a clear voice.
"Gah."
The ministers were stunned again.
What kind of concept was Duke Tongnong? Great Qin had a total of 20 ranks of nobility, and they were usually used to reward military merits. The highest rank was the Marquis of Tongwu, like Wang Ben, who had made countless contributions in his life. At the end of the Warring States Period, he led an army to conquer six countries and helped the First Emperor unify them.
Even Wang Ben, who had made great contributions to the Great Qin Empire, had spent decades to achieve this title. As for Ying Lan, she had indeed taken great risks to develop the agriculture of the Great Qin Empire, but agriculture and military affairs were fundamentally different.
One was without any risk, doing research at home, while the other needed to fight on the battlefield and shed their blood. If they were not careful, they might die.
Moreover, in just a few days, Ying Lan had risen from a salted fish prince to duke Tongnong. It was simply unprecedented.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate.”Wang Ben spoke first.
"That's right, Your Majesty. We still need to carefully consider making him a Marquis, let alone making him the Crown Prince. This is the most important matter of Great Qin and needs to be carefully considered.”
"I think that although the Sixth Prince has talent in agriculture, he knows nothing about literature and martial arts. He is not the best candidate for the throne.”
Seeing Wang Ben's reaction, the ministers scrambled to offer their advice.
"Oh, then tell me, who is more suitable than Lan 'er?”Ying Zheng asked back. Although he had many sons, the number of successful ones could be counted on one hand, and most of them were hedonistic sons.
"Fusu can be considered."
"Huhai is also a good candidate."
Ying Zheng pursed his lips, disapproving. Although Fu Su was good at giving advice, he was too direct every time, and did not want to give it to his father at all. Moreover, he only relied on his mouth, and could not think of a solution to the problem.
In this aspect, Ying Lan was much stronger than him. His complaints and discontentment were only thought about in his heart and never voiced out. It was all Ying Zheng who eavesdropped on his inner thoughts and then put them into practice.
Ying Zheng had been wondering whether these thoughts were instilled into Ying Lan by the Bloody Butcher or his own strategy. Since the Bloody Butcher did not care about the affairs of the world, why was he so concerned about the situation of Great Qin?
These ministers didn't understand Ying Lan's talent and strategy, which was why they had such a dispute.
"It's understandable that you're talking about Fusu, but what's Huhai capable of? Incompetent? Fusu is not steady enough and will not achieve great things. I thought about it and decided that Lan 'er is the most suitable.”This was the first time Ying Zheng had evaluated his son in front of all the officials.
"Imperial Father, you mustn't do this. I was just lucky and accidentally came up with some things. Setting up a crown prince is not child's play. Also, I think the five physicians are already affirming me, so Duke Tong Nong can't do this.”At this moment, Ying Lan hurriedly opened her mouth. Why did Qin Shi Huang start to cause trouble after taking a nap?
What the hell? This was the surprise that Chief Zheng had mentioned last night? This was purely a f * cking shock.
Ying Lan's straightforward rejection stunned all the ministers. This was the reward that all the princes dreamed of. The Crown Prince and the Marquis, but he was not moved at all?
Was his brain damaged?
Ying Zheng was also stunned. He had wanted to be promoted to the rank of Great Shu, but Ying Lan had not accepted it. In Ying Zheng's eyes, it should be because he had not met Ying Lan's expectations.
He might as well go all out. He was both a Marquis and the Crown Prince, so Ying Lan understood her position.
Who would have thought that Ying Lan would still have such an attitude? No matter how smart Ying Zheng was, he still could not guess Ying Lan's thoughts.
With the Bloody Hand Butcher's methods, he would be able to ensure that he was unharmed. In the future, inheriting Great Qin's territory would be a glorious achievement that would be recorded in history.
Seeing Ying Zheng's gradually darkening face, Ying Lan cleared his throat and couldn't help but speak.
"Imperial Father, what I mean is that your body is healthy and your sword is still young, and you can even bring Great Qin to a higher level. As for me, I still have many shortcomings. When I feel that I am qualified to be the Crown Prince, I will naturally speak up.”Ying Lan said cheekily.
Breaking the extremely awkward atmosphere in the court, these words were clear and appropriate, and Ying Zheng felt much more comfortable after hearing them.
"Alright, then hurry up. Don't let Imperial Father wait too long!”Ying Zheng nodded and said.
All the ministers had envious looks on their faces. The position of the Crown Prince was already within Ying Lan's grasp!
