Chapter 275 The ministers were stunned, it turned out to be His Majesty!
What puzzled them was why he had appeared at the foot of Mount Li yesterday and subdued Xiang Yu (as they thought).
But this morning during the court session, it was still Xiao Shisan who was in charge of state affairs, but he himself had disappeared.
The First Emperor originally thought that he had given enough hints to let them know that the power of the Qin Dynasty had been handed over to Xiao Shisan, and he could quietly retire and save his face.
For example, the attitudes of Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Feng Quji and others, the treatment of Li Si, and the behavior of the guards at the Black Ice Terrace.
With all this added up, if Xiao Shisan explained it in detail in public, these ministers should know it clearly.
Even if he was willing to show evidence of Li Si's treason, it would be enough to convince most of the ministers and make them submit to him.
However, who could have expected that Xiao Shisan would be such a lazy person, unwilling to explain, and thinking that all he needed to do was to eliminate all dissenters, and the rest would naturally succumb.
However, the list of those to be killed included Fusu, Huhai, and Ying Zitian. Two of them were the sons of the First Emperor, and one was his brother. Seeing this, the First Emperor could no longer sit idly by and had to step forward to save them.
He didn't care about ministers like Li Si, but he had to save these three people.
So he stood up, seemingly punishing them, but actually intending to protect them.
However, this secret was only known to him and Ying Heng, and everyone else was always confused.
Now, after the First Emperor took action, he had intended to explain the truth to them and reveal the interests involved in his role as the General of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.
However, what he received in return was insult and questioning.
Well, my patience is exhausted and I will no longer hide it.
"Who insulted me just now? Who questioned me? Come, let's settle the accounts one by one!"
"Every one of you has questions, right?"
"very good!"
"Today, I will explain everything to you clearly!"
"But you must consider the cost behind this carefully!"
As he spoke, the First Emperor slowly took off his helmet.
The sound echoed in everyone's ears, like a huge rock dropped into a quiet lake, shocking everyone in an instant.
I?
Am I wrong?
Who is he, and why does he call himself "I"?
impossible?
Could he be His Majesty?!
Oh my God, isn’t he the Thirteenth Young Master’s subordinate?
How is it possible, Your Majesty?!
If he is His Majesty, my God!
The ministers could hardly bear the shock of what was about to happen!
How many sarcastic remarks had he made?
"The Thirteenth Young Master's lackey, flatterer, servile waste, and even more unbearable insults!"
however!
Assuming that he is His Majesty, then many mysteries will be solved!
Why did Heibingtai suddenly retreat when he was about to protect Ying Zitian?
Just because of your majesty's presence, they must obey!
Fusu shouted and ordered Meng Tian to protect him and deal with the Snow Dragon Rider, but Meng Tian pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Because he saw through His Majesty's true identity!
Looking at Wang Jian and Wang Ben, these two shrewd foxes, they were indifferent to Fusu's call for help, but when the warriors wanted to attack the Silver-Armored Snow Dragon Riders, these two old guys immediately took action to subdue them.
This is because they also know that this person is His Majesty, and this move is not only to save the emperor, but also to preserve the lives of the warriors!
Meng Yi and Feng Quji dismissed the civil officials for the same reason. They knew that the person in front of them was His Majesty, so they did not dare to act rashly.
When most people pointed their swords at Your Majesty, especially those instigated by Ying Zitian.
More than 30 Black Ice Terrace guards attacked without hesitation and instantly killed the approaching minister. This was not an order from the Thirteenth Prince, but the guards' duty to protect His Majesty!
This scene made everyone present's heart beat wildly!
If all this is true, and this person is really Your Majesty, then everything will probably be in trouble.
Just as everyone still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, the Silver-Armored Snow Dragon Rider was about to raise his hand and had not yet completely removed his face armor.
Bang bang bang bang!
Five consecutive kneeling sounds were heard, followed by five people shouting in unison:
"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!!"
One of them had an old voice, and the others all had the vicissitudes of middle age.
When they heard this, they looked back and their hearts felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave.
These five people were none other than Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Feng Quji.
They are the pillars of the Qin Dynasty!
At this moment, they actually saluted directly, even without seeing his true face.
This means that they are certain that this Great Snow Dragon Rider is His Majesty himself!
They must have known the truth long ago!
No wonder, no wonder they behaved so abnormally at the court meeting this morning.
First, he took the lead in liquidating the Thirteen Princes, and then restrained his generals and ministers, doing a variety of puzzling actions.
It turns out that they had already seen through the truth of the matter!
You guys have caused us so much trouble!
After the five experienced and cunning wise men knelt down, everyone was shocked.
The First Emperor did not give them too much time to be surprised. He simply took off his armor, revealing a face that showed neither sadness nor joy.
Just from the flames of anger burning in his eyes, one can see his inner rage and supreme imperial majesty.
The helmet fell to the ground with a clang, becoming the only sound in the hall.
The First Emperor looked around and said coldly, "You all have questions. Today, I will settle everything with you!"
In an instant, the entire palace seemed to be frozen, and it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
Except for Ying Heng, Wang Jian and five others, everyone else stood there in shock.
The First Emperor's cold death gaze, accompanied by the words spoken in his real voice, instantly froze the entire scene.
At this moment, even those who held on to a glimmer of hope were stunned by the scene before them.
It's really Your Majesty! This is all over.
On the field, except for the generals who had been suppressed by the Wang father and son and Meng Tian, and the civil officials who were driven away by Meng Yi and Feng Quji, everyone else looked ashen after being shocked.
Their behavior just now was tantamount to a provocation to His Majesty. No wonder they were subdued and punished by the guards of the Black Ice Platform!
What they have done is enough to sentence them to extermination.
The only chance of survival may lie in the fact that they do not know the true identity of His Majesty. Their original intention was to save Prince Fusu, to save Ying Zitian, and to stop the "farce" created by His Majesty who was pretending to be an assassin.
But how His Majesty will treat them can be summed up in one word: over.
Fusu, Ying Zitian, Hu Hai, Chunyu Yue and others were also stunned at this moment.
The appearance of the First Emperor was like a heavy blow to them.
Fusu seemed to understand something, but some mysteries remained unsolved.
But no matter what, since the person in front of him is his father, the punishment he just suffered was undoubtedly in vain.
Moreover, judging from the words he just used to insult his father, he will probably continue to be punished.
However, even when facing the emperor, the truth cannot be ignored!
It was the father who played the game of hiding his identity. As a son, I was unable to see through it. Everything he did was out of justice!
