At this moment, Wang, Zhao, and the other lords felt very uncomfortable. They looked at Fu Su blankly. We risked our lives for you, but you stabbed us in the back.
For them to defy Ying Zheng's decree in public, they did not know what kind of punishment they would receive.
Eldest Young Master, how could you do this?!
However, at this moment, Fu Su changed the topic.
"However, what Wang Zhao and the other lords said is not without reason. After all, the ninth brother was still young and had little experience in the government.”
When everyone heard this, they thought that Fu Su was going to absolve these officials of their crimes.
However, at this moment, Fu Su bowed heavily to Ying Zheng and said," Your son requests for your permission. This time, Ninth Brother is going to patrol the east. Your son is willing to assist Ninth Brother and arrange all the matters for him!"”
The moment these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked!
When Fu Su said this, it was as deafening as a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
Eldest Young Master Fusu's request meant that although he was the Eldest Young Master of the Great Qin Empire, he was willing to withdraw from the fight for the throne and assist the Ninth Young Master.
How could such shocking words not scare everyone!
Since ancient times, it was common for princes and grandchildren to fight for the throne.
The imperial power moved the hearts of the people. This kind of thing was inevitable in every dynasty and generation.
However, as the eldest son of the Emperor, Fu Su had many supporters, but he was willing to give up the position of the Crown Prince to assist the Emperor's younger brother. This was unprecedented in history.
The hall was silent and the atmosphere was strange.
After a long time, an old minister walked over in fear and said to Fu Su,""Eldest Young Master, don't speak nonsense. Although tonight is not a court meeting, all the lords and His Majesty are here. Such words are really inappropriate!"
Fu Su turned to look at the old minister. His eyes were clear and his expression was firm.
"Old Master Wang, Fu Su is not spouting nonsense!”
Since ancient times, the fight for the throne had happened from time to time. Every time it happened, there would be turmoil in the government and the people.
Now that the Great Qin Empire had been unified after six generations of hard work, the remnants of the six countries were ready to make trouble, and the foreign races were eyeing them covetously.
In fact, he couldn't withstand the internal strife that would arise from the fight for the throne.
Looking at his ninth brother's shrewdness and strategy, he was indeed more suitable to be Great Qin's heir apparent.
"Fu Su, do you know what you are saying?”
In the palace, Ying Zheng's eyes were unusually deep as he quietly looked at Fu Su, who was standing beside His Highness.
The pressure of the imperial power from the upper echelons made it difficult for everyone to breathe for a moment.
Fu Su, who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, had a slightly pale face, but his expression was still firm and persistent.
"Fu Su understands why he said those words. Moreover, every word he said is true and comes from the bottom of his heart!”
Ying Zheng stared at him with a dignified expression. Finally, after a long while, he burst out laughing.
"Good! Great!"
"As expected of my son! Since you are so determined, I will agree to your request!”
"I'll leave this Eastern Patrol to you. When your ninth brother returns from Li Tang, you will assist him in his eastern tour!”
Everything was settled. Even Fu Su had agreed, so the others naturally had nothing else to say.
A major matter regarding Great Qin's heir apparent was decided in this chaotic night.
However, these were not known to the world. Only when the talented Ninth Young Master returned from Chang 'an would the world be shocked!
................................................
A few days later, at the Qin-Tang border, the envoys were in a good mood.
The reason? Naturally, the Ninth Young Master Ying Zixuan had finally started to speed up his journey.
A few days ago, when Meng Yi and the others had received the First Emperor's edict ordering the envoy group to follow the Ninth Young Master's orders, everyone felt like the sky was falling. They estimated that this trip would probably take half a year.
However, the next day, the Ninth Young Master ordered them to speed up their journey to Chang 'an as soon as possible, which made them happy for a while.
At this moment, whether it was Ying Zixuan, Meng Yi, or the other members of the diplomatic corps, they did not know that a few days ago, at night in Xianyang City, something major had happened regarding the choice of Great Qin's future heir.
The only thing they could think of now was to rush to Chang 'an as soon as possible to complete this mission, form an alliance with Li Tang, and form a marriage alliance.
In front, Meng Yi was wearing armor and walking at the front of the group. He looked at the road ahead with a sharp gaze.
The Meng family was an aristocratic family of generals, and Meng Yi had been familiar with the art of war since he was a child.
Although he was slightly inferior to his brother Meng Tian, he was still one of the few generals in Great Qin.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, Meng Yi pulled the reins in his hand and said to his deputy general,"The border of Qin and Tang has been in a lawless area for many years, and there are bandits all year round.”
"Tell the soldiers to be alert. If there are any strange movements, kill them with all your strength. Don't startle the young master's carriage!”
"Here!"
The deputy general accepted the order and left.
Meng Yi looked at the road ahead and frowned slightly.
He felt a little uneasy.
The scouts he had sent out had not returned yet. It was a little abnormal.
