Chapter 272 What Did They Do Wrong?

A soldier can be killed but not humiliated! We will never tolerate such humiliation!

You might as well just kill us!

Immediately, a minister stepped forward and roared at the silver-armored Snow Dragon Rider:
"Hey, you big snow dragon rider!"

"How dare you insult us, the important officials of the imperial court, by relying on your military power!"

"We fight for the Qin Dynasty!"

"He conquered this land and made great military achievements!"

"We are only protecting Prince Fusu and others, but you bite back and accuse us of being ignorant of the current situation?!"

"Mr. Thirteen, do you think that if you control the Black Ice Platform, you can dominate the court and the vast land of Qin?"

"Do you think you can arbitrarily deal with us, the old officials who have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty?"

"They even treat us like slaves like pigs and dogs, but not killing us is already a great favor from heaven?"

"How ridiculous!"

"I, Liu Zhi, swear here today that I will never obey!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the pillar beside him, determined to die to prove his integrity.

However, his actions were instantly stopped by two colleagues, leaving him unable to move.

"Lao Liu, calm down, there's no need to do this!"

"That's right, Lao Liu. Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. Only by saving our lives can we find a chance to turn the tables!"

"Lao Liu, think about your wife and children. If you leave like this, I will take care of them!"

Liu Zhi, who was in tears and full of determination, was stunned by these words. He looked at his colleague and asked, "You want to take care of my wife?"

Forget it, let’s wait a little longer. You should support your own wife yourself.

Seeing this, the First Emperor, who was sitting on a high throne, sneered and said, "Let him go and let him hit it!"

When these words were spoken, the people around were even more shocked.

Then, anger erupted like a raging fire.

Those who had just dissuaded Liu Zhi from committing suicide now pointed at the First Emperor and denounced him:

"Who do you think you are? Why do you want us to die?!"

"You treat human life as worthless!!"

"If you don't give us a reasonable explanation, even if His Majesty the First Emperor is here, we will never agree!!"

"That's right! We will never agree to that!!!"

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor sneered and said, "Since you are not convinced, today, I will tell you the reason!"

how about it?
On the stage, hundreds of people shouted in unison to express their dissatisfaction. The First Emperor realized that simply suppressing them with force would be useless.

Liu Zhi actually dared to threaten death. Under normal circumstances, the First Emperor would have made him hit his head against a pillar and died.

But now, it was obvious that many ministers shared Liu Zhi's common hatred of the enemy and expressed confusion and dissatisfaction with his actions, so he had to give an explanation.

All he had to do was reveal his identity and these people would temporarily succumb to his coercion.

But the First Emperor could not always stay in the palace to accompany Ying Heng, nor could he always protect these foolish ministers from being liquidated.

So he decided to explain.

"Tell me, who is dissatisfied? What is the reason?"

The cold and hard voice echoed throughout the hall, and all the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all wondering whether the First Emperor was testing them or asking sincerely.

If I express my dissatisfaction truthfully, will I be beheaded for just one wrong word?

They chose to hide in the crowd and observe the situation first.

They were afraid of death, but some people were fearless. At this moment, Liu Zhi, who was about to commit suicide, responded loudly:

"Okay, you said you wanted to know why we are dissatisfied, so I will ask you today!"

"Why did your Great Snow Dragon Cavalry appear in the court for no reason? Who instructed you to do this?"

"Who ordered the killing of our Qin's important officials for no reason?"

"If there is no decree, you are committing treason and regicide, and you shall be executed in public!"

"How dare you stand here and question us?!!!"

"very good!!!"

When Liu Zhi finished speaking, there was an instant burst of exclamations!
If those Great Snow Dragon Cavalrymen were to kill blindly and without reason, these civil officials might just be able to endure it silently, after all, there was a huge disparity in strength.

However, once the other party wants to argue about right and wrong, they have the courage to fight back.

Liu Zhi's first question went straight to the point and almost fundamentally defined the Snow Dragon Cavalry as traitors!
If he admitted that he was following the orders of the Thirteenth Young Master, the situation would be even worse, and the Tenth Young Master would also fall together and would no longer be able to be so high and mighty.

When Liu Zhi said this, the First Emperor could hardly contain his anger. He almost took off his mask and roared:

"Oh! Am I a tyrant who takes lives at will?"

"I was saving all of you!!!"

"You are in a desperate situation, but you are unaware of it, and you are following idiots like Ying Zitian and Fusu to destruction!"

"You're really ignorant!"

The audience was noisy again, and Liu Zhi, who asked the question, was already so angry that he sneered:

"Hahahahaha! You call taking human lives as saving us, what a joke!"

"You dare not admit your identity, nor say who instructed you, so you are a traitor."

"Now, you are relying on your strong military power and the protection of Black Ice Platform, so let's not talk about treason for now."

"According to your absurd logic, do you think that we are seeking our own death by protecting Prince Fusu and Lord Ying Zitian?"

The implication is, do you think that our Great Qin's eldest son Fusu and your Majesty's younger brother Ying Zitian are traitors to the country? !
Upon hearing this, the other ministers nodded and agreed with Liu Zhi's question.

Whether it was Fusu or Ying Zitian, their original intention was to continue the orthodoxy of the Qin Dynasty.

Questioning Your Majesty's whereabouts, why Li Si was convicted, and that the appointment of the new prime minister should not be without reason, which of these doubts is improper?

Liu Zhi then asked sharply: "So, what did Prince Fusu do wrong? What did Lord Ying Zitian do wrong? What did Lord Chunyu Yue do wrong?"

"And the young master Hu Hai in the corner, he didn't say a word, but you kicked him away without any basis. What on earth did he do wrong?!!!!"

Liu Zhi's voice became louder and louder, and finally the roof of the entire hall seemed to be shaking!

He has deep feelings for the Qin court, for several princes, and for the Thirteenth Prince who dared to fight against evil.

Therefore, at this moment he could roar at the silver-armored snow dragon rider regardless of everything.

Regardless of whether this emotion could move heaven and earth, it at least touched the hearts of most generals and ministers in the court.

At this moment, Liu Zhi was not fighting alone, behind him were the entire court of civil and military officials.

The anger of more than a hundred people was like a raging wave, forming a shocking confrontation with the majesty of the First Emperor.

Under the impact of this surging momentum, the First Emperor's murderous intent was also stifled.

Then, his anger took over again. Looking at those stubborn and persistent officials of the previous dynasty, he felt both annoyed and helpless.

He explained: "Since you want to know, I will tell you one by one."

"Fusu is brave but lacks wisdom. He may be an excellent forward in the battlefield, but he is far from qualified to be a general or even to govern a country. He lacks wisdom."

"In short, it's a lack of brains."

Fusu:......
