If it was a reward of ten thousand taels, a thousand horses, or even a hundred households of the food city, these were all things that everyone could expect and accept.
But to bestow a sword to the Son of Heaven to patrol the east for the Emperor was something that the officials could never imagine.
Once this happened, everyone knew what it meant.
The throne of the Great Qin Dynasty!
Some people could not help but raise their heads to look at the Eldest Young Master, Fusu, who was standing in front of them. They saw that his face was also filled with astonishment. Clearly, he was also shocked by Ying Zheng's words, and had yet to react.
Some of the officials who were close to Fu Su had already walked out anxiously and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, although the Ninth Young Master has made great contributions this time, he will be rewarded. As long as you give me the Tianwen Sword and patrol the east for Your Majesty, it will affect the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty. This matter is of great importance. I am afraid that the ninth son is still young and has little experience in court affairs. He should not bear such an important task. I dare to despise Your Majesty and take back the order!”
"We agree. Your Majesty, please retract your order!”
Many other ministers who were close to Fusu also knelt down and agreed with Ying Zheng, begging him to retract his order.
Looking at the dozens of important ministers kneeling down and begging for their lives, Ying Zheng's face turned ashen.
Li Si checked his face and saw Ying Zheng's ugly expression. He knew that it was time for him to take action.
"How dare you!"
"His Majesty is wise and divine. His achievements surpass the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. How can shallow officials like you speculate on his decisions?”
"The Ninth Young Master is a celestial being with outstanding talent. He is a hero of the world and the son of His Majesty. Why can't I patrol the east for Your Majesty?”
"Don't talk nonsense here. Hurry up and retreat!”
Li Si said so, but those courtiers were still kneeling on the ground, not moving at all. They were only trying their best to grab the ground with their heads, begging Ying Zheng to take back his order.
Since ancient times, there had been an order of seniority. The successor to the throne must be the eldest son of the monarch.
Even if this eldest son was ignorant, incompetent, and incompetent, there would still be countless subjects willing to support him.
This was an ancient system and a rule that had been passed down for thousands of years.
No one could change it easily. Even the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who was known as the first emperor in history, found it extremely difficult to change this matter completely.
Moreover, the Eldest Young Master Fu Su was not a fatuous and incompetent person. On the contrary, he has the demeanor of an ancient virtuous and benevolent monarch.
How could such a crown prince have fewer subjects supporting him?!
Ying Zheng's face was dark, and his eyes were burning with fury.
At this moment, Fu Su finally woke up.
Although he was usually easy-going and kind, and was not passionate about the position of Crown Prince, he was not a fool.
As the eldest son of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, the people around him had always treated him as the Crown Prince.
He had always been strict with himself with the requirements of Great Qin's Crown Prince.
He constantly reminded himself that as the next heir to Great Qin, he had to do his best. He had to make the people of the world rich and content, and Great Qin would prosper for eternity.
In this regard, he had learned the strengths of hundreds of schools. He was loyal and filial to his father, Ying Zheng, humble and kind to his brothers, and loving and caring to the people.
He loved Confucianism very much and believed that Confucianism contained great ways of governing the country, which could make the people of the world live better. However, he was never loved by his father, Ying Zheng.
He knew all this.
And because of this, Ying Zheng was getting more and more unhappy.
Tonight, everyone present, including Fu Su, understood what Ying Zheng was trying to express in his words.
One day, the ninth brother of Qin Ying's son Qin Xuan was awarded the Tianwen Sword and replaced Qin Shi Huang to patrol the east. This meant that Great Qin's next heir had been chosen.
However, he did not care. The position of the Crown Prince was not important to him. His request was very simple-Great Qin's foundation would prosper for all eternity, and Great Qin's people would be rich and healthy.
It was simple enough!
Recently, he had learned a lot of things that he did not know before.
For example, the behind-the-scenes marriage between the Qin and Tang dynasties, the potato and sweet potato that he learned from the internal history department, the theory of shocking the heavens in Jixia Academy, and so on.
In addition, he already knew some things about the destruction of the six dynasties. As well as the mysterious and unpredictable plan of Xianyang City tonight.
All these things had an extraordinary impact on him.
He had been wondering if this was still the Ninth Brother he knew.
However, that was the truth. That was indeed his ninth brother.
At this moment, Fu Su's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and he finally made up his mind.
Fu Su had already made up his mind. With a determined expression, he tidied his clothes and slowly took a step forward.
"Your son thinks that Imperial Father's decree is great!”
Fu Su's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the palace.
In an instant, be it the officials kneeling on the ground or Li Si, who was scolding angrily, everyone fell silent.
Ying Zheng looked at Fu Su with a calm expression, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.
Fu Su looked around at the crowd, then turned to Ying Zheng and said,""Ninth Brother has made a great contribution in quelling the rebellion this time, so he should be rewarded. His father's reward was also extremely wise.”
Fu Su firmly agreed with Ying Zheng's decision. As soon as he said this, the faces of the few people kneeling on the ground were filled with astonishment.
