Xianyang Imperial Palace.
"Imperial Father, your son feels that there is something fishy about the assassination three days ago. It is even more impossible for Eighth Brother to be the mastermind, nor would he rebel.”
Facing the First Emperor's question, the officials didn't dare to say anything.
At this moment, Fu Su walked out as if he was trying to absolve Ying Wushuang.
When the officials heard this, they all nodded. Young Master Fu Su was truly benevolent.
The First Emperor's face was calm. How could he not know the truth behind the assassination three days ago?
However, the rumors couldn't be stopped. Now, he wanted to see how Ying Wushuang would solve the rumors and prove herself.
This was a test from the First Emperor!
Originally, the First Emperor didn't have high hopes for the Eighth Prince, Ying Wushuang. However, after the incident at the Wushuang Restaurant, he felt that he had to re-evaluate his son.
"Fu Su, are you so sure? Or are you one of the masterminds behind this assassination?”
Ying Zheng changed the topic. His majestic dragon eyes carried a huge pressure that made Fu Su feel a great pressure.
Fu Su respected the First Emperor as if he was a god. He immediately knelt down in fear and said with a trembling voice,"
"Your son does not dare, Imperial Father."
"Do you not dare or do you not have the ability!”Ying Zheng said again. He was a little disappointed with Fu Su's performance.
Although Fu Su was benevolent and wise, he lacked the aura of a king.
As an emperor, one should press forward without fear and fight against the heavens.
If Fu Su dared to doubt him and argue with him, he might even raise his status.
Fu Su could feel the displeasure in the First Emperor's words. He was only pleading for his eighth brother. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the assassination was a conspiracy.
"Imperial Father is wise." Fu Su said again, his head hitting the floor.
Seeing this, Ying Wushuang took a step forward and said,"Father, the assassination has nothing to do with Fusu."”
"Eighth Prince, the Peerless Restaurant is your property. His Majesty's visit in disguise is a top secret. How can you clear yourself of suspicion?”Zhao Gao asked.
Ying Wushuang glanced at Zhao Gao. This old man still had the face to talk. He was just short of directly saying that he was the mastermind and beating around the bush.
"Clear your name?"
"Hehe, why do you want to wash?" Ying Wushuang asked.
"What?!"
Zhao Gao was surprised. Young Master Wushuang's answer was not the usual one. It was not equivalent to admitting that he was the mastermind.
The officials 'expressions changed, and even Prime Minister Li Si couldn't help but look over.
On such an occasion and with such a question, even a fool would try his best to clear himself of suspicion.
Ying Zheng's gaze looked over, carrying the pressure of an emperor. His aura was majestic and suffocating.
However, Ying Wushuang didn't dodge. He looked straight into his eyes with a calm demeanor.
Then, he looked at the civil and military officials and asked,
"Imperial Father, ministers, do you know Lord Wu 'an, Baiqi?”
Hearing this, the officials 'expressions changed. In Great Qin, Lord Wu' an's name was taboo, and no one was willing to mention it.
"Lord Wu 'an Baiqi was the Great Qin War God, also known as Ren Tu. Later, he became arrogant and wanted to rebel, so he took poison and committed suicide.”Li Si said.
All the ministers nodded in agreement.
"Lord Li, you're talking about the historian's records. However, there were still some that had not been recorded.”
"Before Lord Wu 'an died, he met King Zhaoxiang of Qin once and had a conversation with him.”
"Lord Wu 'an said,' Your Majesty, what crime have I committed? I have never thought of rebelling.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin said,"I know you don't want to rebel, but you have the ability to rebel. This is your sin!"”
The imperial court was shocked.
All of them revealed looks of disbelief. Could it be that the truth back then was like this?
Thinking about it, it was indeed reasonable!
Baiqi's achievements shocked the ruler. To a ruler, such a person usually did not have a good ending.
Ying Zheng's face revealed a strange look. Why did he feel that Ying Wushuang's words sounded so familiar, as if he had touched the bottom of his heart?
"I, Ying Wushuang, as the eighth son of the First Emperor, have been carrying this sin since I was born. I was born into the family of the Emperor.
Therefore, Father, your son will not defend himself. Instead, he will continue to bear this sin and live.”
Ying Wushuang said loudly. Every word and sentence was like a huge rock smashing into everyone's hearts.
As the prince of the imperial family, he had been carrying the crime of rebellion since he was born.
Just like how a soldier who didn't want to be a general wasn't a good soldier!
A prince who did not want to be the emperor had no future.
"I didn't know that Young Master Wushuang had such a plan!”
Li Si was shocked. Just based on these words, he was going to change his view of Ying Wushuang. This was not something a rich playboy could say.
Zhao Gao's face was gloomy. Although his words seemed disgraceful, they had resolved the assassination crisis.
Fu Su looked at Ying Wushuang in disbelief. He didn't expect his eighth brother to say such words.
If it were him, what would he choose?
At this moment, Fu Su felt ashamed. He felt that he was inferior to Ying Wushuang in this aspect.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was very happy and gratified, but his face was still calm.
"Power is like poison. If a crack appears in the container, the poison will spread. Perhaps the poison has already spread. Father, I am only the first victim, but I will definitely not be the last!”
Ying Wushuang spoke with fervor. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a philosopher. Every sentence was thought-provoking.
" What if the container is cracked?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at Ying Wushuang." How are you going to fix it?"”
"There's no need to mend it. Change it to a bigger one!”Ying Wushuang said decisively.
"Hahaha!"
This was the first time Ying Zheng smiled, and he had never been so happy and excited before.
Why did he have to mend it? Wouldn't it be better to just change it to a bigger and stronger one?
"Imperial Father, Lord Li just recommended two candidates for the Crown Prince to you. Now, your son wants to recommend one as well.”Ying Wushuang said.
"Speak!" Ying Zheng said directly.
"I, Ying Wushuang, the eighth prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, am willing to share the burden of my father!”Ying Wushuang said confidently.
As soon as he said this, it was undoubtedly like a huge rock falling into a calm lake.
Was Young Master Wushuang recommending the Crown Prince?
He was clearly asking the First Emperor for the position of heir apparent. This was simply audacious.
Li Si was shocked. This was something he had never expected. He could not see through this silkpants Eighth Prince.
Zhao Gao's face was ashen. If the First Emperor agreed, then he really wouldn't have anything to do with it.
Moreover, he knew very well that once Ying Wushuang became the Crown Prince, his good days would come to an end.
"Eighth brother!" Fu Su did not know what to say. Was this really Eighth Brother?
When did his eighth brother become so brave?
Reaching out for the throne?
Ying Zheng was in a dilemma. Since he was so honest, would he give the position of Crown Prince or not?
