On the second day after Ying Zheng's return, a grand court meeting was held in Zhangtai Palace!
On this day, all the officials were attending court, and all the wise men were present.
When the officials entered the palace, they saw Ying Zheng and Ying Chen kneeling on their respective thrones!
"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"Ten thousand years for the Emperor, ten thousand years for the Crown Prince!"
At this moment, when Ying Chen saw the ministers below him cheering for him, he instantly felt as if he was holding the sun and the moon in his hands, controlling the universe!
"Everyone, rise!"
Ying Zheng sat on the stage, then gave a slight support to the officials!
Immediately after, the officials straightened their bodies and sat upright.
"I left Xianyang to patrol the east for more than five months. Crown Prince Ying Chen pushed the three treasures to enrich the treasury and released the commoners to stabilize the world. He has made great contributions in supervising the country and strengthened my Great Qin.”
These words were equivalent to showing Ying Zheng's approval of all the measures Ying Chen had taken during his reign in front of all the officials and generals in the court.
Therefore, at this moment, the ministers were all overjoyed,"Congratulations to Great Qin, congratulations to His Majesty!"”
"Ten thousand years for the Crown Prince, ten thousand years for Great Qin!"”
Ying Chen nodded slightly without changing his expression.
" I've been feeling very tired and unwell recently," Ying Zheng said." Therefore, I will be resting in the rear palace for the next few days."”
"The matters of the court can be handed over to the Crown Prince for decision!”
"I hope that all of you will remain loyal to Great Qin, to me, and to the Crown Prince!”
The moment these words were said, the ministers below the stage were dumbfounded again!
Especially when they saw Ying Zheng, who was speaking with great vigor and looked especially dignified!
Oh, my Majesty!
Are you saying that you're not feeling well because you're not energetic enough?
Most of the civil and military officials were already over fifty years old!
If you say that you can't do it, can they continue to work for Great Qin?
However, in fear of Ying Zheng's majesty, they could only keep this kind of ridicule in their hearts!
In the end, he didn't dare to say it.
At the same time, after Ying Chen's days of supervising the country, the ministers had basically acknowledged Ying Chen's abilities.
In any case, the throne is between you and your son.
Forget it, do whatever you want!
It had to be said that this was the Qin Dynasty!
It had to be said that the person who said this was the first emperor in history, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng!
If it were any other dynasty, if it was an emperor who lacked prestige, it would be impossible for him to deal with this supreme power so easily!
After all, every emperor had his own courtiers!
The birth of a new ruler would definitely cause chaos in the entire court!
But facing Ying Zheng and Ying Chen, the officials became obedient.
He couldn't afford to offend them!
Not only Ying Zheng, but even Crown Prince Ying Chen, they couldn't afford to offend him!
On the other side, Ying Chen was neither overjoyed nor panicky about Ying Zheng's decision!
Instead, he calmly cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng and said,""Thank you for your trust, Imperial Father. Your son will not disappoint Imperial Father and Great Qin!”
" Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded and said," I'm not worried about you!”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Ying Chen couldn't help but feel speechless!
However, he still nodded obediently.
Then, the highlight of the day came!
Ying Zheng picked up two copies of the Book of Songs from his desk, then called for the chamberlain,""Take these two books down and let the ministers read them!”
……
When Li Si, as the Left Prime Minister, was the first to receive the two 'Book of Songs,' he could not help but tremble!
Seeing Li Si like this, Feng Quji, who was closest to Li Si, could not help but lean over!
In the end, as the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji started to tremble like Li Si!
This time, the ministers who saw this scene were all dumbfounded!
What was going on?
The two prime ministers of the empire were just standing there and trembling!
"What are you guys trying to do?"
Thinking of this, Imperial Censor Feng Jie, Old General Wang Jian, and High Official Meng Yi all came over!
In the end, he also followed in the footsteps of the two prime ministers. Then, he could not help but tremble!
Actually, they had not even opened the pages of these two 'Book of Songs' books!
At this moment, they only saw the two words 'Book of Songs' written in Xiao Zhuan on the page!
Those who were able to stand in Zhangtai Palace, which one of them wasn't an intelligent person!
Therefore, they could easily see the crux of the matter!
That was, this book was not made of bamboo slips or silk cloth. Instead, it was made of a brand new material that looked slightly yellow and was as thin as a cicada's wing.
At this moment, they could clearly realize that as long as the cost of this material was not expensive!
No, even if it was slightly more expensive than the current bamboo slips, it would quickly replace bamboo slips and become the most important carrier of words in the future!
Li Si was the first to react.""May I ask, Your Majesty, what is this? What is it made of? How much did it cost?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed!
When he first came into contact with this thing, he must have been in the same state as the ministers below the stage.
However, to be able to make the officials lose their composure like this, he remembered that the last time was when Ying Chen took out sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, these three auspicious items!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly felt extremely proud!
This is my son!
My son!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said," This item was made by Crown Prince Ying Chen. You only need to use rags, or even some bamboo, grass, or leaves to make it!”
"The Crown Prince calls this thing 'paper'.”
"As for the cost, three coins for one!”
Not only Li Si, but even the ministers were dumbfounded!
A rag?
Bamboo, grass, and leaves?
These things could be used to create such "paper" that could be written on?
Moreover, the cost was actually as low as three coins per piece!
How many processes and how much money was needed to successfully create a bamboo scroll?
And how many words could a bamboo slip record?
With such a comparison, even an ordinary person could see how big the difference between paper and bamboo slips was!
Li Si was indeed the Prime Minister of the Ancient Era!
As expected of the great talent that Ying Zheng relied on the most!
At that moment, Li Si could clearly sense it.
The appearance of paper was incredibly important to Great Qin!
At that moment, Li Si bowed to Ying Chen.""This subject, Li Si, congratulates the Great Qin, the world, and His Majesty!”
"Crown Prince, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"
