At this moment, Xianyang Palace was dead silent.
The civil and military officials, Prime Minister Li Si, Middle Carriage Manor Magistrate Zhao Gao, and Young Master Fusu did not dare to speak.
In the imperial court, Ying Wushuang stared at Ying Zheng!
Because he had just asked the First Emperor for the position of Crown Prince.
As a prince, he had the right to do so!
Ying Zheng did not say anything. Because of his health, he had always wanted to find a successor who could take over his position.
Now, Ying Wushuang had appeared and perfectly resolved the assassination crisis, which made him look at her in a new light. Moreover, what she said coincided with his philosophy.
He had the idea of giving the crown prince to Ying Wushuang, but unfortunately, Ying Wushuang wasn't the eldest son.
With the First Emperor's magnanimity, he was naturally not bound by rules.
However, Ying Wushuang didn't have any official positions or military merits.
If he were to appoint a crown prince, he might not be able to convince the masses.
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and said,"Dear ministers, what do you think?”
The officials looked at each other and sighed, not saying a word.
This was the First Emperor's family matter, so how could they dare to say anything?
Ying Zheng took in everything and said," Zhao Gao, pass on my decree. From today onwards, the Eighth Prince, Ying Wushuang, will take over the position of the Imperial Supervisor. He will assist me in managing the state affairs. The matters of the state must be handled by him, and all the civil and military officials must cooperate with him.”
Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically, but he still lowered his head to convey the decree.
When everyone heard the First Emperor's words, their expressions changed drastically.
The First Emperor didn't make the Eighth Prince the Crown Prince, but let him take over the position of Country Supervisor. This attitude was unfathomable.
As the name suggested, supervising a country was to supervise the state affairs, whether it was the army or the people's livelihood.
His power was above the three dukes, and he was really below one person and above ten thousand people.
"Thank you, Imperial Father. Your son will definitely not disappoint Imperial Father.”Ying Wushuang cupped his hands and said with a calm expression.
"The position of Country Supervisor is a very important matter. Wushuang, let me see how far you can go.”Ying Zheng said.
After that, the court retreated and the officials left.
Outside the palace, Ying Wushuang walked towards the palace gate step by step. However, he was stopped not long after.
"Eighth brother, congratulations."
Fu Su walked over to congratulate him with a sincere expression.
"Yes, thank you for your words in the court just now.”Ying Wushuang said.
Although Fu Su was somewhat pedantic, he was still worth befriending.
If he became the Emperor in the future, with Fusu's talent, he would be able to contribute to the Great Qin Empire.
"We're all brothers. We should help each other. Moreover, Eighth Brother, you used your own strength to clear your name and now you're the country's governor. I'm not as good as you.”Fu Su said. His words were frank and did not hide anything.
"If they all think like you, Imperial Father need not be so worried.”Ying Wushuang said.
Fu Su's gaze changed slightly. He knew what Ying Wushuang was referring to. He said," Eighth Brother, Confucius said: A gentleman is not a tool. After you manage the country, you have to improve yourself and make yourself better. You have to be more knowledgeable.”
"I will." Ying Wushuang said.
Fu Su took a deep look at Ying Wushuang and walked forward.
Ying Wushuang suddenly thought of something and said,"Elder brother, do you think it's possible that a gentleman is not a tool?"”
"A true gentleman would disdain to kill his opponent with a weapon!”
Fu Su staggered, his face filled with disbelief, and he almost fell off the stairs.
Was this a gentleman without a tool?
Did he read a fake Analects of Confucius?
Fu Su turned around and gave Ying Wushuang a strange look before leaving.
He needed to calm down?
"What a good gentleman!"
Not long after Fu Su left, Li Si came over again and said,"
"Young Master Wushuang, congratulations on taking over the position of Country Supervisor.”
"Lord Li, you didn't treat me like this before.”Ying Wushuang said.
"Hehe, I was blind. If Young Master doesn't mind, I'll invite Young Master to the mansion for a chat.”Li Si said.
"Lord Li, your daughter Qingxue and I are sincere to each other.”Ying Wushuang laughed.
"…" Li Si's face twitched and his expression changed.
Three years ago, although the outside world said that Ying Wushuang had molested his daughter, only he knew that Ying Wushuang and his daughter Li Qingxue had feelings for each other.
For the past three years, Qing Xue had been talking about Ying Wushuang. She didn't even look at the nobles he introduced.
However, Li Si could not accept the fact that Ying Wushuang was flirting with another woman while flirting with his daughter.
It was normal for a man to have multiple wives, but not Li Si's son-in-law.
Plus, Ying Wushuang had a bad reputation at that time, so he forced his daughter to cut off all contact with Ying Wushuang.
However, things were different now. Ying Wushuang had already become the Country Supervisor, and her future was limitless.
Based on his understanding of the First Emperor, this was a trial to inherit the throne.
As long as Ying Wushuang did well, there was a 90% chance that he would be the next emperor.
If his daughter married Ying Wushuang and inherited the throne in the future, wouldn't his status rise with the tide? His power would be even greater than now.
As for Ying Wushuang and the other women, what was this?
A man should have three wives and four concubines, and Ying Wushuang was the emperor. What was this?
At this moment, Li Si's attitude towards Ying Wushuang had changed drastically.
Ying Wushuang saw it and smiled without saying anything.
"Young Master Wushuang, be careful of Zhao Gao.”Li Si whispered into his ear and left.
Not far away, Zhao Gao stood at the entrance of Xianyang Palace. Ying Wushuang exchanged a glance with him and couldn't help but reveal a 'warm' smile.
……
In a luxurious private room on the second floor of Wushuang Restaurant.
Sword God Li Chungang and a hunchbacked old man were drinking and eating hotpot together. There were also qipao dancers dancing beside them. The atmosphere was lively and they looked very happy.
"Old Bai, I'm not bragging, but back when I was at my peak, I killed all the Land Immortals with a single sword strike.”
"If the heavens didn't give birth to me, Li Chungang, the sword path would last forever!”
Because the alcohol content was high, Li Chungang's face was red as he spoke nonsense.
The old man called Lao Bai heard this and laughed as well.
"Land Immortals are nothing. Back then, when I was in the army, I killed 400,000 people from the State of Zhao. That baleful aura didn't dissipate for three years, and the ground turned red.”
"Old Bai, you're bragging! Isn't this human slaughter!"
Because he was drunk, Li Chungang didn't think too much about it and just treated it as Lao Bai bragging.
"Ren Tu, I am Ren Tu? Even the land immortals will kneel when they see me!" Lao Bai said.
"Yes, yes, yes. Land immortals were nothing! If you really force this old man into a corner, I'll stab a hole in it today.”Li Chungang said.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
When the qipao dancer beside them heard the two old men bragging, she suppressed her laughter.
Just as the two of them were drunk, the door of the private room was opened.
Ying Wushuang walked in and looked at the drunk Li Chungang and Old Bai.
