"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw."
Following Zhao Gao's gentle voice, Great Qin's court session officially began.
The strange thing was…
The hall seemed to be more solemn and tense than before, as if there was a subtle atmosphere spreading in the hall.
None of the officials dared to take the lead, and everyone became more cautious.
The civil officials were in front.
Apart from the Eldest Young Master Fu Su, who was waiting solemnly, Prime Minister Li Si also had a solemn expression and did not seem like he was going to speak first.
The general on the right was the same.
Wang Ben, Meng Tian, and even the generals of the Great Qin Empire who were usually straightforward became cautious today.
He waited quietly for a long time without any movement.
Ever since last night's incident, all the officials knew of the Emperor's anger. No one dared to be the first to provoke him, afraid that the Emperor would vent his anger and punish him.
The important officials were all cautious, and this was due to their many years of experience as officials. This insight and vision was not something that just anyone could have.
Not all of the officials in the hall were shrewd, so there were naturally cannon fodder who were eager to try.
After a few breaths of silence.
A few courtiers stepped forward one after another and bowed to speak.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Fourteenth Young Master has been acting absurdly recently and has damaged the reputation of Great Qin.”
"Your Majesty is wise. Although the 14th Young Master is not an imperial descendant, his actions are too absurd. He should be punished with etiquette and law to warn others.”
"I, second the motion!"
The few people who had stepped out were just ordinary officials and were at the end of the list of officials. At this moment, they were the first to speak and impeach the Fourteenth Young Master, Ying Yu…
This matter instantly caused waves in the hearts of the courtiers.
How dare they impeach His Majesty's favorite prince?
As expected, there must be someone behind them!
This matter was already obvious. The ministers present had already begun to guess, but they still didn't dare to say anything. They quietly waited for the First Emperor's decree.
This kind of self-preservation was understandable.
The First Emperor sat on the throne and saw the reactions of the officials.
However…
At the court meeting today, Shi Huang had a strange feeling.
Ying Yu used his absurd behavior to hide from the public and continued to hide his strength, even hiding it from the ministers.
This kind of resourcefulness made him secretly sigh and even feel a little gratified.
Among the many children, there were still talents that could be nurtured.
At the same time, the First Emperor saw several people taking the lead to impeach him, so he naturally thought that someone was instigating him. He had already suspected Zhao Gao's loyalty, and now that he saw such a conspiracy, the suspicion in his heart could not help but increase.
Even if it wasn't Zhao Gao, there were other ministers with ill intentions in the court!
In past court meetings, impeachment was common. It was normal for the courtiers to have conflicts with each other. It was the same in every dynasty.
However, if they were to impeach the prince and incite the ministers to make a memorial, it would not be as simple as a conflict. It would be another matter altogether.
At this moment.
The First Emperor was more certain than ever that there was someone among the courtiers who was up to no good!
Thinking of this.
Qin Shi Huang lowered his gaze and swept across the entire place. Wherever his gaze passed, all the civil and military officials nodded their heads in fear and reverence!
Until he looked at Fu Su.
Seeing that his expression was still calm, the First Emperor knew that this was not his doing.
However, out of the intention to test him, Qin Shi Huang still asked in a deep voice.
"Fusu."
"In your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?”
The ministers 'hearts tightened.
Fu Su also felt some pressure, so he stepped forward to salute.
"Father…"
He had already been told several times to stay out of it, but when the words reached his mouth, the kind-hearted Fu Su still could not give up his brotherhood.
After hesitating for a moment, he could not help but plead for mercy.
"In your son's opinion, 14th brother is still young and ignorant, so it is inevitable that he will make a mistake. This matter is excusable, so please show mercy, Imperial Father.”
"Your son believes that Fourteenth Brother will be able to repent in the future…"
As they bowed respectfully, all the officials present had different expressions.
Wang Ben and the others closed their eyes and didn't dare to make a sound.
When the rest of the officials heard this, they were all impressed by Fu Su's benevolence and kindness. Their eyes were filled with respect.
However…
When the First Emperor heard this, he felt an indescribable disappointment.
Young and ignorant?
Who was the young and ignorant one!
Fu Su actually couldn't even tell that Yu 'er was biding his time and was no different from most of the officials. Was that all he had?
It was fine if he couldn't tell, but Fu Su was still pleading for Ying Yu without caring about anything. This kind of leniency was too blind and immature!
Obviously.
In Fu Su's heart, brotherhood was stronger than rationality.
If this kind of character was placed on an ordinary person, it was naturally worthy of praise. However, to an imperial descendant, it was an extremely pedantic taboo!
As a ruler, one must not let personal feelings disturb one's vision and mind.
This son is too pedantic and kind.
If this continued, it would definitely be difficult for him to achieve great things.
He had just witnessed Huhai's cruelty and viciousness last night, and now he had heard Fu Sutian's words. The temperaments of his two sons were poles apart, but they were almost beyond redemption…
The First Emperor had mixed feelings in his heart. He lowered his eyes and did not ask any more questions.
As for the experienced officials in the court, he was too lazy to bother probing them.
From the moment he decided to use the Black Ice Platform, the First Emperor was full of doubts about his ministers.
With just a few words, Qin Shi Huang suppressed this matter.
Even though the officials were shocked, they didn't dare to mention it.
As more and more people reported on other major matters, all kinds of questions were suppressed in the bottom of their hearts.
It was only when the court meeting had ended and Qin Shi Huang had left that everyone dared to reveal their doubts.
The 14th Young Master was so ridiculous, yet he was not punished by His Majesty?
Did His Majesty really favor this young master so much?
All kinds of doubts kept echoing. The courtiers felt that the Emperor's heart was hard to predict, and they couldn't understand what the First Emperor was thinking. Other than sighing that Ying Yu was favored by the Emperor, they had no other clue.
All of a sudden, the officials became even more cautious.
They all dispersed and left, and no one dared to make a sound or talk about it.
It was so quiet in front of the Imperial Palace that even Wang Ben and the others could only watch as Fu Su rode away.
Looking at the flying dust, he had a complicated expression and sighed in his heart.
Sigh, the Eldest Young Master was too kind.
Wait until the ministers disperse.
Zhao Gao also quietly stepped out of Xianyang Palace and returned to Zhongche Mansion with a puzzled expression.
"Why did Your Majesty not punish Ying Yu today?”
"The subtle coldness in the Imperial Court makes even this official shudder. Last night, someone seemed to have sneaked into the Zhongche Manor. Could it be related to today's strangeness?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Zhao Gao had a bad feeling!
At this moment.
An excited call came from outside the door!
"Teacher! Teacher!"
Hearing this voice, Zhao Gao was shocked!
As he looked up, he saw Huhai striding in with an expectant look on his face.
"Teacher!"
"How was the court meeting today? Has Ying Yu been severely punished by Imperial Father?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao's expression was extremely gloomy!
