The next day.
Zhangtai Palace Fengyang Hall.
This was the place where the officials of the Great Qin Empire met, and also the place where Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials held their court meetings.
At this moment, they were dressed in official robes of the Qin Dynasty, with official hats on their hair buns standing on both sides.
On the dragon throne, a man dressed in a black dragon robe and a dragon crown swept his gaze below.
In contrast, the officials seemed to sense something and only felt pressure pounce on them. Unconsciously, their expressions became even more respectful.
As usual, Ying Zheng asked the eunuchs to hand over the memorials submitted by the officials to him, asking if there was anything else he wanted to report.
There was silence below.
Ying Zheng recalled the plan he made last night.
He said,"If you have nothing to report, I have something to say."”
As he spoke, he called out,"Li Si, read it to all the beloved ministers."”
Li Si respectfully took it and opened it, his eyes narrowing.
Then, his voice slowly echoed in the hall."Great Qin's Ninth Young Master Ying Qi, on behalf of His Majesty, patrolled the east and encountered the rebel White Robes Army in Yiyang, the old land of Korea.”
"In this battle, the Ninth Young Master Ying Qi sent out a thousand cavalry to break through ten thousand troops, killing three thousand people and burying nine thousand people alive!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire court erupted into discussion.
It was like a drop of water suddenly falling into a boiling pot of oil. It exploded with a loud bang, and the entire court was extremely noisy.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Ying Zheng took in the expressions of all the officials.
Very good!
This is the effect I want!
Then let's start the next step of the plan
As for the next step?
Since he wanted to see how many officials in the court opposed his son, he should put on a good disguise to test it.
Many of the courtiers below were people who could observe people's expressions.
At this moment, he absolutely could not show any favoritism or favor towards Ying Qi.
He even wanted to use the matter of the Yiyang White Guards to express his anger. This way, these officials who were good at disguising themselves would give themselves away.
He was good at pretending to be angry.
She lowered her head.
There was silence.
He began to brew emotions in his heart.
He narrowed his eyes.
He was expressionless.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said in a cold tone,"Dear ministers, what do you think of this matter?”
After saying that, he did not forget to add,"Dear ministers, you can speak freely.”
Just as Ying Zheng had expected.
Regarding the sudden emergence of the Ninth Young Master Ying Qi to replace the Qin Emperor in patrolling the east, many people in the court were resentful.
After all, there were a few powerful young masters in the court who were secretly fighting for the crown prince, and many of them had already chosen to stand in line.
They all hoped that the prince they supported would win, and they would have the merit of following the dragon in the future.
However, he did not expect the Ninth Young Master to appear out of nowhere.
Whether it was those who secretly supported Fu Su or Huhai.
They were all looking for an opportunity to deal with this Ninth Young Master.
and now
This was the opportunity!
Ever since the laws of Qin were set, no matter who the general was, he could not kill prisoners without authorization. This was a serious crime.
Right now, this Ninth Young Master had broken this Qin law!
Upon closer inspection, the Emperor's expression, appearance, and tone were clearly unhappy about this matter.
If he didn't grab this opportunity, he would have let it slip away.
Therefore, the remonstrant doctor Ji Wei took the lead and bowed,"Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master has made great contributions to pacifying the White Shirt Army."
"However, he killed the prisoners of war and violated the laws of Qin. This is a serious crime!”
He said,
The officials on both sides stepped forward one after another and began to echo.
"Your Majesty is wise. Ninth Young Master Ying Qi has already violated the laws of Qin. If we don't punish him, it will be unfair!”
"Yes, I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, we all believe that the Great Qin Sect's main residence should recall the Ninth Young Master as punishment!”
"Ninth Young Master Ying Qi is a ruthless person who has killed tens of thousands of prisoners of war.”
"Your Majesty, think about it. This person's actions have probably angered the people of Old Korea, causing them to feel fear. How could they be loyal to Great Qin?”
"If we allow him to lead the army to the east, who knows what he will do to benefit Great Qin? His Majesty should recall Ninth Young Master Ying Qi.”
"We still need to select someone else to represent Your Majesty in the eastern patrol.”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Great Qin should treat the descendants of the six dynasties kindly and appease them.”
"This subject also has the same intention!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
“......”
"So many people?"
When he saw the officials walking out one after another.
Even Ying Zheng was stunned.
However, on second thought.
After all, my son Ying Qi has been silent for ten years without any movements.
On the contrary, Huhai and Fu Su had been secretly fighting in the imperial court over the years, and each of them had gathered many officials.
It was expected that such a scene would occur.
He carefully scanned the crowd. Apart from the neutral officials, there were more than half of them.
well
Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled. Suddenly, he fixed his gaze on one person and asked,""Li Si, what do you think we should do?”
Li Si walked out respectfully. His expression did not change as he bowed.""I will obey Your Majesty's wishes."
Hearing his answer, Ying Zheng was very satisfied.
From this test, it could be seen that Li Si had yet to make a choice.
"Retreat!"
Ying Zheng suddenly stood up, turned around and left.
This made the courtiers dumbfounded.
What did His Majesty mean?
Didn't he ask everyone to talk about this matter?
Now that everyone had said it, why didn't he say anything and just turned around and left?
Everyone was puzzled and thought that His Majesty was also hesitating.
They decided that after they returned, they would write a memorial and submit it to the Emperor again to help him make up his mind to deal with the Ninth Young Master.
Little did he know.
Ying Zheng returned to the inner palace, and Zhang Han appeared right behind him.
"Have you recorded everything?" asked Ying Zheng.”
Zhang Han handed over the bamboo slips and nodded."Your Majesty, the names of the ministers who have come out to oppose and agree with you today have been recorded.”
"Alright."
Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips and said slowly,""Ying Qi and I have made an agreement. The father and son will protect the fate of the Great Qin together.”
"He is patrolling the east while I am in the hall.”
"Ying Qi, when you return, this one will definitely give you a stable court!”
