Chapter 277 Bah, I don’t have a brother like you!

Hey, come to think of it, Your Majesty really can't find any reasonable reason to beat these people! ?

Liu Zhi's mind suddenly brightened, as if he had discovered the emperor's omission.

However, his eyes dimmed again immediately afterwards because he didn't dare to speak directly.

After all, this is His Majesty. Even if Qin Shihuang was really unfair, he did not dare to challenge him, so an intriguing scene appeared on the field.

Liu Zhi prostrated himself on the ground, his head held high and his chest puffed out, his face full of unwillingness. His neck turned red from holding it in, but he didn't dare to utter a word of complaint for a long time.

Seeing this, the First Emperor saw through his thoughts and asked again.

"Why, do you think I am wrong here?"

"If you have any dissatisfaction, tell me now and I will pardon you!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhi became ruthless. He was not afraid of death anymore, so what else was there to be afraid of?

So he resolutely said: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor. If you take action in the court, I have no words to say."

"Since you are here in person, then the accusation that Young Master Thirteen is plotting to murder you will naturally be refuted. For this, I am deeply sorry and I am sorry for any offense."

"But, Your Majesty, you have abused the two princes and the ministers in the court for no reason, and I still do not accept it!"

"As I just said, even if I am facing Your Majesty, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will not be convinced!"

"Of course, Your Majesty is unwilling to speak out, so I have no choice but to accept it. After all, you are Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Liu Zhi continued to keep his neck stiff, closed his eyes, and waited for the First Emperor's decision. Even if it was a death sentence, he would accept it calmly.

However, the First Emperor just smiled calmly: "Very good, Liu Zhi, you are quite courageous. My Great Qin still has its backbone!"

"Originally, I don't need to explain anything to you."

"But today, I want you to be defeated sincerely and convinced, and all of you will be completely convinced, and you will naturally tell me everything."

"You go down first, and you will understand everything in a moment."

Liu Zhi thanked him respectfully and left.

Then, the First Emperor turned his attention to his younger brother, Ying Zitian.

"Xiaotian, why don't you speak?"

"Didn't you just yell that you wanted Black Ice Platform to get rid of me and be lenient with my family?"

"Hmm? Keep going?!"

Ying Zitian smiled awkwardly.

"Um..., my brother..."

"Bah! I don't have a brother like you!" The First Emperor interrupted him.

"You are a man who changes his attitude according to the situation. You fawned over me when you saw me yesterday."

"You started bullying my thirteenth brother today when you saw me disappear, and now that I'm back, you're scared again!"

"Is my Ying family blind to raise a waste like you?"

"You think you can mobilize the Black Ice Platform?!"

"Dahei, immediately detain the two Black Ice Guards who only obey Ying Zitian, interrogate them carefully, and find out the truth!"

In the dark corner, a voice responded respectfully: "I will obey the emperor's order!"

The First Emperor's gaze fell on Ying Zitian again, and his tone was cold and hard: "From today on, you are no different from Hu Hai. Return to the clan and retreat. You can only come back when you are promoted to Grandmaster."

"In addition, take away all these ants in the court who obey your orders."

"Today, I will only grant you a chance to live. If there is a next time, even if Xiao Shisan kills you personally, I will not frown!" Ying Zitian prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your grace!"

After saying this, he stepped aside sadly and quietly switched to watching the show.

With his departure, the climax of today's court arrived, and it was Fusu's turn.

Sure enough, the First Emperor finally turned his gaze to Fusu, his eyes full of disappointment.

Fusu was left until the end because the turmoil in the entire court was caused by his three questions.

Ask Li Si what crime he committed that put him in prison.

Ask where the First Emperor was going and whether he had usurped the throne.

He questioned why the Qin Dynasty, which still had royal laws, could choose a stranger as prime minister.

All the conflicts in the court today originated from Fusu standing up and taking the lead in boycotting the Thirteenth Prince.

This is where the First Emperor’s disappointment came from.

Fusu was once the prince he had placed high hopes on, and was also the heir to the throne he entrusted to him when he faked his death.

He never expected that the successor he personally selected would be so incompetent.

Not to mention anything else, just say that before returning to Xianyang, the First Emperor met Fusu in person and had a deep conversation with him by the campfire.

At that time, the First Emperor had already made it clear that the Thirteenth Brother was extraordinary, and vaguely revealed his intention to pass the throne to the Thirteenth Brother, hoping that Fusu would grow up healthily and assist his Thirteenth Brother in the future.

However, the First Emperor never expected that Fusu would misinterpret his meaning.

He actually interpreted Xiao Shisan's behavior as usurping the throne!

The conversation between the First Emperor and Fusu that night was intended to hone him, let him expose Ying Heng's true face, overthrow Ying Heng's throne, and replace him with himself!
This is what made the First Emperor most angry.

The First Emperor passed the throne to the Thirteenth Young Master, thinking that others might not understand, but Fusu should not turn a blind eye!
Aren't the clues given to you obvious enough?
Your closest comrade-in-arms, Meng Tian, ​​has surrendered to Xiao Shisan. Don’t you understand the meaning of this?
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, together with Feng Quji, have all paid tribute to the Thirteenth Prince at the beginning of the court session today. Don't you know the importance of these people?

Will they easily submit to any young master without my order?

What's more, the guards of the Black Ice Terrace, who symbolize the imperial power of the Qin Dynasty, are all protecting the interests of Xiao Shisan. Are you still stubborn?

How dare you ask those three soul-searching questions in the court that you think are so clever?!
Do you think you have the ability to lead a rebellion against Ying Heng's regency? Do you have any skills?
Do you think you are cool? Or do you think you have leadership skills?!

If it weren't for his timely intervention, if Xiao Shisan hadn't cared about our brotherhood, you would have died by now!

The First Emperor's eyes were filled with deep disappointment in Fusu, as if he was looking at a lost child.

Fusu met the First Emperor's gaze and was startled, vaguely realizing that his behavior might be inappropriate.

However, he quickly reviewed his words and actions of the day and firmly believed that everything he had done was for the sake of his father and the Qin Dynasty, and he had made no mistakes.

So Fusu looked directly at the First Emperor again, with unyielding spirit in his eyes, and firmly believed that his judgment was correct.

Faced with such a Fusu, the First Emperor was even more disappointed and felt heartbroken by his son's stubbornness.

"Fusu, do you understand your mistakes?" he asked in a deep voice.

Fusu calmly responded: "I don't understand."

"As the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, I believe that it is my duty to question my thirteenth brother at a time when the political situation is still unclear!"

"Besides, my question was agreed by most of the civil and military officials present, and Thirteenth Brother has never given a clear answer."

"Even if you, Father, come in person, I still don't agree with this arrangement!"

The First Emperor was so angry that he smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his inner anger, and restrained the urge to slap Fusu away with a palm.
