"You all know about Great Qin's current situation. The Xiongnu are in the north and have been secretly watching Great Qin for a long time!”
"As for the south, our Great Qin army is trapped in the swamps of South Yue and has been unable to take it down for a long time!”
"Moreover, there are countless factions within Great Qin, and the anti-Qin factions are becoming increasingly rampant.”
"Also, Great Qin's treasury is running out of money and food.”
"What I want to ask you is how to fill the national treasury!”
"Once the national treasury is filled, we will naturally have the capital to eliminate all hidden dangers!”
Ying Zheng announced the problem personally.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the political affairs, and to prevent the officials in the court from trying to figure out the emperor's intentions.
Ying Zheng had never revealed this topic before.
At the same time, the officials who knew the question were already whispering to each other.
"The questions His Majesty set are ridiculously difficult!”
"This is the current predicament of Great Qin. We officials have thought about it for so long, but we have no idea what to do. What ideas can those young princes have?”
"Yeah, if we really test this question, no one can answer it!”
……
"Sigh, I don't think we can tell who's better today.”
"Today's exam is on literature, tomorrow might be martial arts. Martial arts can determine who is better!”
"That's right. As the future emperor, he must be both civil and martial.”
As soon as Ying Zheng's question was given, all the ministers were not optimistic about these princes. They had already guessed that no one could give them an answer.
The ministers, who had lost all expectations, even began to guess the test tomorrow.
It was not that the officials looked down on these princes, but that this test was extraordinarily difficult.
After gathering all the power of the officials, they were all at a loss.
The prince could answer?
"Young masters, please answer!"
At this moment, a group of eunuchs brought bamboo slips and brush and ink to the princes.
They wanted to write their answers on the bamboo slips.
"Yun 'er, you don't need to write, just say it directly!”
All of a sudden, Ying Zheng thought of something, and hurriedly said,"
He, the Ninth Young Master, could not read or write…
The teachers that Ying Zheng had arranged for Ying Ziyun complained to Ying Zheng one after another, saying that this kid did not know how to teach, not even how to write his own name.
Therefore, in order to prevent Ying Ziyun from making a fool of himself in front of all the officials, Ying Zheng allowed him to speak directly.
No matter how much of a bastard Ying Ziyun had been, he had saved Ying Zheng's life and helped the Great Qin Empire just now.
Moreover, his courage, eloquence, and thinking were all outstanding.
In comparison, not being able to write didn't seem to be an intolerable flaw.
However, the others didn't think so, especially Chunyu Yue!
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the future ruler of a country, the ruler of Great Qin!”
"If you can't even read and write, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility?”
"Besides, the other princes all write on bamboo slips, but only the Ninth Young Master has this privilege.”
"We are both His Majesty's flesh and blood, and the princes of the current dynasty. This old minister implores His Majesty to be fair and not to chill the hearts of the princes!”
To Chunyu Yue, he needed to write now. However, Ying Ziyun didn't know how to write. This was definitely a chance for him to take revenge on Ying Ziyun!
Chun Yu Yue would never forget how vicious Ying Ziyun was when he targeted the scholarly faction!
Thus, no matter what happened today, he had to retaliate and let Ying Ziyun see that the scholarly faction wasn't so easy to suppress!
"Your Majesty, Lord Chunyu Yue is right. If the Ninth Prince treats you specially, the others will definitely be dissatisfied.”
"Although it's just a small matter, if word gets out, the world will think that His Majesty is not fair enough!”
Zhao Gao pondered for a moment and agreed.
In Zhao Gao's opinion, Fu Su was the only obstacle to Huhai becoming the heir to the throne.
However, things were different now. Ying Ziyun had become the public enemy of all the princes!
Under special circumstances, even if he was on the same side as Fu Su, as long as he could suppress Ying Ziyun, Zhao Gao was willing to do so!
In any case, he had to suppress Ying Ziyun's arrogance first!
Logically speaking, since Chunyu Yue and Zhao Gao had taken the initiative to express their stance, the other officials in the court should also speak up to agree.
But now, it was really abnormal. None of the officials took up their words.
Zhao Gao had no choice but to give Huhai a look.
