On the square outside the hall, all the officials were stunned.
Li Si must be crazy, right? He was definitely crazy.
Otherwise, why would he come up with such a crazy idea?
Prime Minister Li, what kind of bewitching potion have you been fed? You've only been in there for 15 minutes, and now you're letting the Thirteenth Young Master manage the country?
If he remembered correctly, the last time the Thirteenth Young Master entered the court was when he was five years old. A paper kite fell in Xianyang Palace, and he ran in to pick it up, right?
If you let him supervise the country, can he understand the memorial?
Young Master Fusu won't be able to make it back for the time being, but it's also reasonable for you to let the third young master, who has studied literature, and the fifth young master, who has been trained in the army, supervise the country!
If it really couldn't work, then even the 10th Young Master Huhai would do. After all, he had learned to govern the country from Zhao Gao for 10 years!
Now, you're letting a young master who hasn't studied, practiced martial arts, and been an official for a day, what's the meaning of letting a young master govern the country?
Was it because Great Qin had unified the six countries for over 30 years and wanted Great Qin to explode?
For a moment, all the ministers were shocked and confused.
Huhai, who had just woken up after being dragged away by the guards, heard Li Si's decision from afar.
He spat out another mouthful of blood!
It's me, I should be the one overseeing the country! This throne is mine, how can it be thirteen?
Fortunately, many voices were heard outside the hall, saving Huhai's life.
"I object!" "I object!" "I object!"
"Minister Li, I object to your proposal!”
"I object to the Thirteenth Young Master's ruling of the country!"
"Objection…" "Objection…"
“...”
Not long after, voices of opposition rang out.
If Zhao Gao's confession and execution just now had only shocked everyone, now that the Thirteenth Young Master had ascended the throne, it would shake the foundation of the country.
At this moment, the officials loyal to Great Qin could no longer watch Li Si continue to cause trouble.
They stood up one by one.
Meng Yi stood up and said seriously," Prime Minister, the Meng family has been loyal to the Great Qin for three generations. Now that His Majesty has passed away, it's fine if you say that he didn't leave behind a posthumous edict.”
"However, you said that you would recommend the Thirteenth Young Master to oversee the country.”
"The Meng family doesn't support any young master of Great Qin, but the entire Great Qin Imperial Family. We support His Majesty.”
"If His Majesty has a designated successor, I, Meng Yi, will definitely support him!”
"If His Majesty really did not leave behind a posthumous edict, then all of you must jointly elect a virtuous and talented young master.”
"Forgive me for not agreeing with an ignorant and incompetent person like the Thirteenth Young Master!”
The Meng family's Elders had contributed greatly to Great Qin and were the true pillars of the royal court.
Don't forget that Meng Yi had at least his brother Meng Tian, who was in charge of the army in the Northern Territory, supporting him. That was an army of 300,000!
Therefore, when Meng Yi stood up and spoke, he immediately gained the approval of half of the officials!
On the other side, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian and the representative of the Wang Family, also spoke,
"My Wang family controls the Great Qin army and is only loyal to His Majesty. If His Majesty appoints a successor, my Wang family will naturally be loyal.”
"If there is no appointment, then I'm sorry. No matter which young master of yours manages the country, as long as the emperor is not decided, my Wang Clan will not participate in the court!”
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Some of the generals were not good with words, so they agreed with Wang Ben after he finished speaking.
At this moment, the opinions of the imperial court were already clear. The civil officials thought that Meng Yi was the leader and did not approve of the Thirteenth Young Master.
The generals were led by Wang Ben and did not participate in the battle for the throne.
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, one of the three dukes, spoke up. Compared to the others, he was much older.
He looked at Li Si and asked,"Why did Minister Li choose the Thirteenth Young Master to govern the country?"”
"According to the rules of etiquette, after His Majesty's death, if there is no designated successor, Eldest Young Master Fusu should first return to preside over the government.”
"Although Fusu is far away, a fast horse can reach in less than five days.”
"Minister Li, I don't think there's a need to rush the selection of the country's Young Master, right?”
"Moreover, everyone knows about the Thirteenth Young Master's performance. Are you sure he can stabilize Great Qin's current chaotic situation?”
Feng Quji didn't express his opinion, but his meaning was clear. If everyone was against it, Li Si wouldn't be able to push it by himself, right?
Li Si admired the Thirteenth Young Master even more after seeing everyone's reaction.
All of this was within the Thirteenth Young Master's expectations.
His expression did not change and he did not look discouraged at all. He said indifferently to Feng Quji,
"If there's anyone in this world who can stabilize the situation of Great Qin, it's the Thirteenth Young Master!”
"Minister Feng, Young Master is not like what you know. He is a person of great talent.”
"Words are useless. Why don't you enter the hall with me and meet the young master? If you still think that I'm messing around after this, I'm willing to demote three positions and hand over the power of the Left Minister to you!”
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers were surprised.
Prime Minister Li Si was playing with the Thirteenth Young Master, but he was using his official position as a bet. This was too much of a joke!
Moreover, if there was only one person in the world who could save Great Qin, it would be the Thirteenth Young Master. What did this mean?
Could it be that we, the elders of several dynasties, are all useless?
Only that ignorant and incompetent young master of his was truly a talented person?
Ridiculous!
Hearing that he had the chance to monopolize the authority of the Left Minister, Feng Quji immediately became serious.
If he could obtain Li Si's authority as the Left Prime Minister, it would be equivalent to him taking charge of the royal court alone. That would definitely be an achievement that would be recorded in history!
Feng Quji was immediately tempted.
"Really? Come, I'll meet the Thirteenth Young Master with you!”
