The furious Chunyu Yue had long forgotten about the etiquette of seniority and flew into a rage. He actually called the Ninth Prince a yellow-toothed brat!
It wasn't that he couldn't suppress the matter, it was that Ying Ziyun's words could cause huge consequences.
It could cause the scholarly faction to suffer a fatal blow, or even a calamity!
Looking at the other people in the court, they were all shocked.
"This Ninth Prince is too bold!”
Meng Tian and Li Si sighed in unison.
Now, a huge hole had been pierced in the sky!
The person who had created the hole was the publicly acknowledged trash of Great Qin, the Ninth Prince!
On the surface, he was blaming the Ancestral Dragon, but in reality, he wanted to crush the entire scholarly faction to death!
It had to be said that the current power and influence of the scholarly faction was only slightly weaker than that of the Great Qin Imperial Family.
Although they did not have soldiers or armies, Confucian scholars were everywhere in the world, and there were countless schools.
Even the ministers in the court had many Confucians.
Other than that, the ideas advocated by Confucianism were also broadcasted to the world.
More than half of the scholars in the world dreamed of becoming a disciple of a Saint.
Moreover, in this era, it was unusual to become a scholar.
Because brush and ink were expensive, those who did not have to work in the fields and had time to study were either rich or noble.
In other words, all of Great Qin's nobles and aristocrats were united in the name of Confucianism.
This force could not be underestimated!
Due to various reasons, Ying Zheng had been tolerating everything about Confucianism.
But now, Ying Ziyun was truly bold, openly saying that he wanted Ying Zheng to attack the Confucians!
At this moment, Ying Ziyun heard Chunyu Yue's accusation and was instantly enraged.
"Old thing, you're the impudent one!"
"You have no regard for the imperial power and are accusing this prince. Are you trying to offend your superiors?”
Ying Ziyun had been seriously talking to Ying Zheng, but Chunyu Yue suddenly jumped out and scolded him.
How could he accept this!
Moreover, Ying Ziyun was no longer the trash from Great Qin!
Since he dared to question Ying Zheng in the Imperial Court, he must have the confidence to control his actions and not anger Ying Zheng.
After all, according to historical records, Qin Shihuang had once burned books and buried scholars.
Therefore, Ying Ziyun concluded that Ying Zheng had no good feelings towards these Confucian scholars, which was why he dared to question them boldly.
He was publicly rebuked by Ying Ziyun, pointed at his nose, and called an old thing. He was even accused of offending his superiors.
Chunyu Yue flew into a rage out of humiliation, but he didn't know what to say.
She could only point at Ying Ziyun with a trembling finger, her face flushed red.
"You…"
However, right at this moment, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, opened his mouth.
"Silence!"
Ying Zheng's name made the hearts of all the officials tremble. They hurriedly stood still, not daring to move an inch.
Because they discovered that Ying Zheng was not reprimanding Ying Ziyun, but Chunyu Yue!
Chunyu Yue was an old official of the court after all. He was stunned and subconsciously spoke.
"Your, Your Majesty…"
However, Ying Zheng did not even wait for him to finish his words.
"This is the main hall's political affairs. The others are not allowed to make any noise!”
Seeing that Ying Zheng had said so, Chunyu Yue could only swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Then, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Ying Ziyun.
"Continue."
Chunyu Yue had heard it clearly. When Ying Zheng had accused him just now, he had been angry.
Now that he was facing Ying Ziyun, his tone of voice had actually softened a little, and there was even a trace of affection.
What did this mean?
In an instant, Chunyu Yue had an ominous feeling.
The scholarly faction was probably going to suffer!
He looked at Ying Ziyun and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Your son wants to punish Imperial Father for being too muddle-headed and delaying Great Qin!”
When Ying Ziyun said this, the officials in the court stared at each other in confusion.
"What do you mean by confused? What do you mean delay?"
Ying Zheng also asked in confusion.
"Tell me, how was I muddle-headed and how did I harm the country?”
Ying Zheng's curiosity was really piqued now. At first, he thought that this bastard Ninth Prince was going to spout nonsense again.
But who knew that every word and sentence was exactly what Ying Zheng was thinking!
How could he not want to take care of the Confucians? However, in the eyes of the world's aristocrats, whether it was the rich or the powerful, high officials, they were all disciples of the Confucians.
Almost all scholars were deeply influenced by Confucianism.
If he, Ying Zheng, were to start a killing spree, it would be equivalent to attacking all the nobles, tycoons, and scholars in the world!
Right now, Great Qin was surrounded by enemies.
There were also countless anti-Qin forces inside.
With internal and external problems, Great Qin was already on the verge of collapse. If they attacked the Confucians now, the world would definitely be shaken!
Because of this, Ying Zheng had long known that the Confucian scholars were secretly spreading anti-Qin remarks, but he still held back and did not take action.
Moreover, Ying Zheng knew that most of the Confucian scholars were still loyal to Great Qin, and only a small portion of them wanted to oppose the Imperial Court.
This was also one of the reasons why he had yet to make a move against the scholarly faction.
However, Ying Ziyun's words had spoken in his heart.
So now, Ying Zheng's attitude had indeed changed greatly.
He was very curious, and he was even looking forward to what Ying Ziyun would say next.
