This sentence stunned the system for a moment. However, a notification sounded immediately after.
"Ding! Selection successful. Quest time limit of four hours!”
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was above the dragon level, opened his mouth.
"From today onwards, all the Princes can point out the shortcomings of Great Qin's state affairs and point out anyone's mistakes!”
"All of you have seen Great Qin's current situation. We want to know what went wrong!”
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, all the princes were dumbfounded!
Logically speaking, shouldn't he propose a strategy to govern the country?
Why was it that now, Ying Zheng's question was to find out the shortcomings of the state affairs, as well as the mistakes of the ministers in the court!
Good heavens, to the princes, this was equivalent to taking their lives.
Once he pointed out the shortcomings of the state affairs, wouldn't it mean that Ying Zheng, as the emperor of a dynasty, had not managed the affairs of the State of Qin well, slapping his father in the face?
The second option was to point out the mistakes of any minister in the court. This was also a dead end.
Once they lost the support of these ministers, they would also not be able to obtain the position of Crown Prince!
Today, Ying Zheng had given them two paths, but both were dead ends!
This caused the princes to think hard about how to govern the country.
Especially Huhai!
Previously, when Zhao Gao had prepared the answers for him, all he had given was a strategy for governing the country. He had not mentioned anything about finding out the shortcomings and punishing the ministers!
But now, Ying Zheng had turned his back on him, causing Huhai, who had no opinion of his own, to panic.
He could only secretly look at Zhao Gao for help.
However, under Ying Zheng's watch, Zhao Gao, who was a shrewd man, did not dare to do anything out of line.
Zhao Gao stood with a bow, completely ignoring Huhai.
Instantly, Huhai was so nervous that his forehead was covered in sweat. He was even more uncertain.
On the high platform, Ying Zheng spoke again,""Fu Su, as my eldest son, you can speak first!”
"Your son will obey!"
Fu Su took a step forward and bowed. His face was full of respect, and there was actually no trace of panic.
Fu Su's calmness piqued the curiosity of Huhai and the princes.
At the same time, the ministers who supported Fusu and chose to stand on his side were worried for him.
It was the Emperor's question that was a dilemma.
If he wasn't careful when answering, he would be far away from the position of Crown Prince, or he would be killed!
The attention of all the officials instantly locked onto Fu Su, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned heavy!
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son believes that the emergence of the anti-Qin forces is inevitably related to the policies of the Great Qin Dynasty Hall!”
"If Father can govern the country with benevolence, help the world, love the people, and be close to them.”
"Then all the anti-Qin forces will naturally disappear. The people will live and work in peace and contentment. They will naturally not risk their lives and raise an army to rebel!”
The moment Fu Su opened his mouth, he threw out such a shocking statement.
However, this was not the end. He continued,
"Also, Imperial Father, the amount of manpower, resources, and money needed to build the Great Wall is truly unprecedented.”
"Furthermore, we have to send an army to attack the Bai Yue, so we have to use up a lot of food and pay.”
"These two major events have caused too heavy a burden on the people. It is inevitable that complaints will arise everywhere, and the number of anti-sentiments will gradually increase.”
"Imperial Father, stop building the Great Wall, stop the war against the Yue, and rest with the people. The people are the most important!”
……
Fu Su's words were more shocking than the last.
Then, he listed out what he thought were the shortcomings of the court one by one.
Fu Su's nature was not bad, but he was deeply influenced by Confucianism. He had always hidden these words in his heart, and today, he took this opportunity to spit them out.
Moreover, Fu Su had really followed Ying Zheng's wishes and pointed out the shortcomings of the government. He had no intention of pleasing Ying Zheng and keeping the Crown Prince's position.
However, after the overly honest Fu Su finished speaking, he unexpectedly discovered something.
The ministers who supported him in the court were all sweating profusely and felt weak.
To these ministers who supported Fu Su, they had already seen through the things that Fu Su had mentioned.
They had seen through it, but no one mentioned it.
Who didn't know that Ying Zheng had the ambition to devour the heavens? If they tried to persuade him to give up on expanding his territory, it would be strange if they would listen to them!
"Sigh…"
As a great scholar, Chunyu Yuechang sighed and shook his head slightly.
The few Confucian teachers of Fusu were personally arranged by Chunyu Yue.
Moreover, he had also put in a lot of effort on Fu Su and placed high hopes on him.
But Fu Su was too honest!
Qin Shi Huang asked him to pick on the shortcomings of the court, and he really dared to pick on them!
Pointing out the shortcomings of the imperial court in front of all the officials, wasn't that a slap to Ying Zheng's face?
Other than Chunyu Yue, Wang Wan, Meng Yi, and the others also shook their heads helplessly.
Today's political question was related to the grand occasion, so Fu Su's answer was obviously not pleasing.
Not only would it embarrass Ying Zheng, but he might even lose his position as Crown Prince!
However, no matter how anxious they were, they did not dare to interrupt. After all, no one dared to touch the reverse scale of the Ancestral Dragon!
"Next!"
After Fu Su finished speaking, Ying Zheng did not say another word, but directly asked the next prince to step forward.
"Father, your son thought…"
When the princes saw that their eldest brother, Fu Su, was not blamed for pointing out the shortcomings of the court, they were relieved and finally found a clear path.
Therefore, they all spoke up and seriously pointed out the shortcomings of the court.
However, compared to Fusu, their speech was not anything new. It was nothing more than some not to do much construction and to let the people live in peace.
Hearing these words, Ying Zheng's blood boiled, and his face darkened.
At the same time, Ying Zheng looked at these princes, his heart filled with disappointment, and an old and lonely aura filled his heart.
It was Huhai's turn next.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son thinks that not only can we not give up on the matter of conquering the Yue, but we should also increase the number of troops and press the border to win in one fell swoop!”
"First of all, our Great Qin is a Dynasty that unifies the world. It is only natural for us to expand our territory. How can a mere Hundred Yue stop our Great Qin's progress?”
"As for the waste of manpower and wealth that my brothers mentioned, your son believes that if this drags on, it will be a real waste of manpower and wealth!”
"Let's end this quickly and annex the Yue Country to feed Great Qin!”
Huhai's words were firm and decisive, and he had a bit of momentum.
It was because Huhai's teacher, Zhao Gao, had once mentioned that Ying Zheng had the intention of annexing the world.
At this moment, Huhai didn't care about right or wrong at all. He only wanted to please Ying Zheng.
Therefore, in the matter of the southern expedition to the Yue, he directly catered to his preferences!
Huhai's ability to govern the country didn't increase much after following Zhao Gao.
However, he had learned a lot about politics by analyzing his superiors 'intentions and observing their expressions.
These unorthodox methods really made Huhai stand out.
"Mm, not bad!"
Compared to the other princes who remained silent after answering the questions, Ying Zheng took the initiative to praise Huhai after he finished answering the questions!
" Alright, I announce that today's political session has come to an end. Next…"
Just as Ying Zheng announced the end of the meeting, a voice suddenly came from the imperial court.
"Imperial Father, wait a moment. Your son has yet to express his opinion on today's political affairs!”
Everyone looked over and saw that this person was Ying Ziyun.
It was the genuine trash of Great Qin, the Ninth Prince!
