"In addition, have someone send a message to the Great Tang envoy saying that Great Qin agrees to their marriage alliance and that they can return tomorrow. In three days, the young master of the Great Qin Empire will bring his letter of credence and set off for the Li Tang Empire.”
Not long after, a decree from the Great Qin Emperor was sent from Xianyang Palace to the residence of the Great Tang envoy.
After the imperial edict was issued, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and continued asking,""Since we have already decided on a marriage alliance, then which of the young masters do you think can be chosen for this marriage alliance?”
Li Si's face was filled with bitterness. He knew that what was supposed to happen had finally happened.
From the moment he entered the palace, he knew the true purpose of the Emperor summoning him into the palace today.
The fruit of marriage was already inevitable.
The candidate for the marriage was the reason why Li Si had entered the palace today.
However, this was also the hardest question for Li Si to answer.
After all, this marriage would most likely affect the choice of Great Qin's Crown Prince.
With her status as the eldest princess of the Great Tang Empire, the young master that Great Qin married would definitely become Great Qin's next ruler.
Otherwise, the Li Tang Empire would not be satisfied.
In the future, whether or not a second dragon would appear would be a troublesome matter.
Therefore, this marriage alliance was more likely to be a major event to determine the Crown Prince's personnel.
As a result, the entire court had been arguing for many days without any results.
The current Emperor Shi Huang had more than 20 children. Excluding the monks who died young, there were seven of them who were of age for marriage.
Among them, only three were suitable for marriage with Princess Changle.
They were the eighteenth son, Huhai, the ninth son, Zi Xuan, and the eldest son, Fusu!
Among these people, the most suitable one to succeed the position of Crown Prince was Eldest Young Master Fusu. Moreover, Young Master Fusu had a gentle personality, was benevolent, and loved Confucianism. There were many supporters in the entire court and among the people.
However, it was precisely because Fu Su was close to the Confucians that Ying Zheng disliked him.
Among the three, the one that Emperor Qin liked the most was his ninth son, Zi Xuan. In the eyes of the common people and officials, the Ninth Young Master Ying Zixuan was just an ordinary young master, no different from the other young masters.
However, Li Si knew that the Ninth Young Master was not simple at all. He could even be said to be the most outstanding of all the young masters.
Firstly, he had learned from Zhang Han that he might not be a match for the Ninth Young Master in a direct battle.
Who is Zhang Han?
The current commander of the Great Qin's Shadow Guards had an unfathomable martial arts cultivation. Although he was more proficient in assassination techniques, he was at the peak of Xiantian first grade.
And how old was the Ninth Young Master this year? Eighteen years old!
An 18-year-old peak Xiantian first-grade martial artist. Just this point alone was already shocking.
This was also because he didn't know Ying Zixuan's true cultivation level. If he knew that Ying Zixuan had just broken through to Celestial Phenomenon, Li Si would probably bite his tongue off.
In addition, he knew that Great Qin had unified the six countries and that the Ninth Young Master had made some arrangements behind the scenes.
Li Si's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.
He quickly shook his head and forced himself to calm down.
As for the 18th son, Huhai, he was Emperor Shihuang's favorite son after the 9th son. His martial arts cultivation was also second only to the 9th son.
He wasn't bad in any aspect, but compared to the Ninth Young Master Ying Zixuan, he was always slightly inferior.
In this way, the ones who were really difficult to choose were Eldest Young Master Fu Su and Ninth Young Master Zi Xuan.
Li Si pondered for a moment and said,""I think Eldest Young Master Fusu is benevolent and filial, so he might be a suitable candidate for marriage.”
Li Si sized up Qin Shihuang's expression and found that Ying Zheng's face was indifferent and expressionless.
He wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead and said,"In addition, the ninth young master Zi Xuan is proficient in both martial arts and literature. He can also be a candidate for marriage.”
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Ying Zheng said softly from above the palace,""Does the Prime Minister also think so?"
Li Si was shocked.
Did His Majesty intend to make the Ninth Young Master Zi Xuan the Crown Prince?!!!
Abandoning the old and establishing the young was a great sin in the ancient system.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Si's forehead. If this news were to spread, not to mention the court officials, there would probably be many people from the various aristocratic families, Old Qin people, and even the Ying clan relatives who would object.
As for Li Si, he was the one who suggested this, so he naturally had to bear the brunt of it.
At this moment, the arrow was already on the bow.
"This humble subject…I think that Ninth Young Master…It's worth it!"
After Li Si said that, he seemed to have used up all his strength and slumped down in his seat.
From the moment these words came out, he was afraid that he would have to go against half of the royal court and aristocratic families.
Up above, Ying Zheng did not seem to notice Li Si's dejected look at all. Instead, he continued to speak,""Since that's the case, why don't you tell me in detail why Young Master Zi Xuan is more suitable?”
Li Si smiled bitterly. I didn't say that Ninth Young Master was more suitable.
