Xianyang!
Zhangtai Palace.
The wind blew in from the door, causing the hearts of the officials to turn cold. Their limbs trembled, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable grief.
Qin Shi Huang was dead?
This news was like a bolt from the blue. It was even more unbelievable than today's divine lightning tribulation.
Silence!
There was a long silence!
"Lord Wu 'an, even if you are a hero of Great Qin, you can't make such a joke!”
The one who spoke was one of the nine ministers, Zong Zheng Ying Teng.
His hair and beard were all white, but he had an imposing aura.
When he was young, he had also led troops to battle and charged into battle. He had made contributions, which was why he could sit here.
"Bai Qi, you never joke!"”
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Everyone was digesting this shocking news.
"Zhao Gao, Li Si, are you really plotting to make Huhai king?”Ying Teng asked again.
"If these two people have no second thoughts, why didn't they send a secret envoy back to Xianyang to inform everyone of the death of the King of Qin?" Baiqi asked.”
When the officials heard this, they exchanged glances.
Not bad!
Why did Li Si and Zhao Gao hide it from them?
They were colleagues!
Could it be that he didn't trust them, or that he had some unspeakable secret?
"Why don't you summon the envoys who come and go with the patrolling camp to ask?”
"No matter how secretive Zhao Gao and Li Si are, they will still reveal something unusual."”
"Good!"
"Good!"
The officials nodded, feeling that this idea was not bad.
They didn't care about it before because they didn't think anything would go wrong.
Now that he knew the results, he should be able to find some evidence to verify the envoy's description of the changes in the camp patrol.
Of course they would find evidence!
This was because the process was based on the results!
Then, no matter what the messenger said, they already had their suspicions!
Once there was suspicion, people would become jittery!
Without a doubt, the expressions of the officials who had asked the messenger were as bad as pig liver that had been left out for a long time, green and smelly.
"What should we do now?"
"Of course, we should choose a new ruler first. We can't let Li Si and Zhao Gao succeed.”
"However, Qin Shi Huang didn't appoint a crown prince. Which young master can take on such a heavy responsibility?”
"High?"
"No, you're too weak!"
"General Lu?"
"His mother is Old Chu…"
"Hmph, what are we discussing? Who else can it be? Of course, it's the Eldest Young Master Fusu.”
"Ha, this is the Qin country, not the six countries. Choosing a monarch is based on talent and ability!”
"Young Master Fusu is a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. He is also the leader of the young masters.”
After a short period of shock.
The ministers began to debate about the new ruler.
Ying WuXian, the 'god' they were curious about at first, was ignored.
Even Baiqi was ignored by them.
Ying WuXian found himself a seat and sat down, smiling as he watched the ministers argue.
Qin Shihuang was dead!
At first, the officials were shocked and incredulous. Then, they were filled with grief and sadness.
However, the strange thing was…
They felt a strange sense of relief from the bottom of their hearts.
It was as if the mountain that had been pressing down on their heads and suffocating them had suddenly disappeared.
Why?
They couldn't explain it themselves.
However, there was no doubt that whoever supported the prince would become the new ruler and would be able to rise to a high position in the new court.
Ying WuXian's gaze swept across them.
The three dukes and nine chancellors weren't the ones arguing right now.
Qin Shi Huang took away six of them. The remaining six sat down as if they were deep in thought, listening, and reminiscing.
"Shut up!"
The officials below couldn't argue any further, so Ying Teng stopped them with a stern voice.
"Prime Minister, you are the head of the officials. Why don't you make a decision?”Ying Teng said.
In an instant.
Many pairs of eyes looked at Feng Quji.
The benefits of Tian Zhong's suggestion of Ying WuXian drawing the Feng Clan to his side were displayed at this moment.
Li Si, Meng Tian, Li Xin, Wang Ben, and the other ministers were not in Xianyang, so the Feng Family became the strongest force.
The three dukes of Qin State were the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal, and the Imperial Censor.
The nine ministers are Feng Chang, Doctor Ling, Wei Wei, Tai Pu, Ting Wei, Dian Ke, Zong Zheng, Zhi Li Neishi, Shao Fu.
Under Qin Shi Huang's rule, the position of Grand Marshal in charge of military power had always been empty.
Therefore, the three dukes were the Left and Right Prime Ministers and the Imperial Censors.
Feng Quji served as the right prime minister.
The king of Qin respected the right side.
Therefore, Feng Quji was more senior than Li Si in name and was the true leader of all officials.
Feng Jie served as a censor.
In other words, among the three dukes, the Feng family had two sons.
Don't forget.
Feng family in the army, there is also Wuxin Hou Feng Wuze.
It could be said that the Feng family's current attitude could influence the attitudes of the officials who stayed behind.
What was that?
The royal family?
Ever since Shang Yang's reform, Great Qin had been suppressing the royal family like Fang 'er.
When it came to Qin Shihuang, it was even harsher.
Since they didn't even have an empress, many young masters and princesses didn't dare to discuss political affairs.
Although Feng Quji was old, his prestige was still there.
He sat on the upper right seat and swept his gaze across the room. He slowly said,"In my opinion, Young Master Fusu is far away in Jiuyuan of Shangjun. It will take at least ten months for him to come back and forth. Li Si and Zhao Gao's rebellion is imminent. At this critical moment, we should first choose a young master to supervise the country and stabilize Xianyang and Guanzhong.”
When the officials heard this, they felt that it made sense.
"This is the opinion of an old man!"
"I wonder if you have anyone to choose, Prime Minister?" Ying Teng asked.”
"But I have a candidate!" Feng Jie suddenly said.”
Everyone looked at him.
"Young Master Wuxian, the Heavenly Being has been born. Today, he has become an immortal. This is in accordance with the Heavenly Dao!" Who else is more suitable than him?"
The officials were shocked.
They all looked at Ying WuXian.
"I also think that Young Master WuXian can take on this great responsibility!”Baiqi said.
After he spoke, the representatives of the Wang and Meng families found it difficult to refute.
They were the ones who supported Fu Su the most.
Baiqi was not an official, but his experience was there.
The ancestors of the Wang and Meng families, Meng Ao and Wang He, had followed Baiqi before.
What could they say?
"I think it's feasible!" The allies of the Feng family began to express their stance.
A portion of the neutral officials also nodded.
Ying WuXian had performed a miracle and left a deep impression in their hearts.
The impact was too strong.
It made them instinctively respect Ying WuXian.
More and more officials stood on Ying WuXian's side.
Seeing that it was about time, Feng Quji coughed lightly and said,"This old man also thinks that it's most appropriate to let Young Master WuXian manage the country.”
Ying Teng narrowed his eyes. He knew the Feng Clan's attitude, and he also realized that Ying WuXian and the Feng Clan had been in contact for a long time.
He looked at Ying WuXian, who was still smiling, and said,"If Young Master manages the country, do you have any good ideas?”
Some of the officials who were still watching gave Ying Teng a thumbs up.
Good question!
At this time, if he wanted to govern the country, he definitely had to come up with a solution.
Ying WuXian's smile faded. He stood up and cupped his hands at the officials,"If I manage the country, I only need a day to quell the chaos of Zhao and Li!”
