Chapter 278 Li Si? Prime Minister? Treason?

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you have any objections, just speak up!"

Fusu's eyes widened and he retorted, "Father, since you have returned, why don't you sit back on the throne and let my thirteenth brother take charge of government affairs?"

"After you showed up yesterday, you had a long private conversation with my Thirteenth Brother. During that time, ten Xiang Yus suddenly showed up. What is the secret behind all this?"

Fusu was eager to know what the relationship between the First Emperor and his Thirteenth Brother was like now, and who would command the present and future of the Qin Dynasty.

"What does this have to do with you? You are not qualified to ask." The First Emperor responded coldly.

This was a secret he was unwilling to reveal in front of everyone. After all, it involved a bet between him and Ying Heng. How could the mighty Qin Shi Huang easily admit that he had lost to his son?
Fusu was speechless, realizing that he had been excluded from core decision-making by his father.

I'm afraid even Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others know some of the inside story.

Alas, he let out a helpless sigh in his heart.

Fusu asked again: "Father, let's not talk about how Thirteenth Brother got to this position for now."

"He imprisoned Prime Minister Li Si for no reason. What on earth is going on?"

"Is it just to enthrone the unknown new prime minister named Liu Bowen?"

"Is it reasonable to suppress dissidents so blatantly and promote cronies?"

"Don't say I don't agree with this. Ask the ministers in the court, who would agree?!"

However, as soon as Fusu finished speaking and before the First Emperor opened his mouth, Wang Ben spoke first.

"Well, excuse me for interrupting, I agree! As long as it's the Thirteenth Young Master's decision, I support it."

Beside Wang Ben, Meng Yi's face was filled with regret. Alas, he was a step late and was unable to speak before him.
Immediately, Meng Yi, Feng Quji and others said in unison: "We agree. As long as the young master chooses someone, we will fully support him!"

Fusu remained silent. The First Emperor looked at him with a mocking smile on his lips.

Of course, he did not follow the crowd, but responded directly to Fusu's question:
"Regarding Li Si, that was my order!"
"Originally, I planned to execute Li Si directly and implicate his entire clan!"

"However, it was because Thirteen pleaded for Li Si that I spared his life."

At this point, the whole audience's eyes were filled with curiosity, focused on the First Emperor.

The First Emperor said slowly: "Li Si, that traitor, tampered with my will and committed treason!"

boom!
There was an uproar.

In the hall, after the First Emperor exposed Li Si's treason and tampering with the imperial edict, the scene instantly boiled over!
At this moment, everyone was shocked.

Li Si? Prime Minister? Treason?

Tampering with the edict? !
How can this be?

However, these words came from His Majesty's mouth, so they couldn't be lies, right?
But why did Li Si do this?

Besides, he had committed treason and tampered with the imperial edict, so why wasn't he beheaded?

Oh, by the way, Your Majesty said that it was the Thirteenth Prince’s plea that saved Li Si’s life.

Now it seems that this Thirteenth Young Master is still kind?
All this was like a fog to the ministers.

But for Fusu, this was undoubtedly a revolutionary change!

Before that, he questioned Ying Heng about Li Si's affairs, directly characterizing Ying Heng as someone who excluded dissidents and even imprisoned Li Si innocently before he ascended the throne.

Now, the situation is awkward, it turns out that Li Si was not imprisoned by the Thirteenth Prince.

It was His Majesty who wanted to kill him, but he was saved by the Thirteenth Prince.

As a result, the question Fusu had previously raised instantly lost its basis.

There was doubt in his eyes as he looked at the First Emperor. Could it be that his father was coerced by his Thirteenth Brother and deliberately said this to deceive us?

"Father, are you sure that Prime Minister Li really committed treason?"

"Is there any reason you are embarrassed to talk about?"

"If you are forced, just nod your head and I will immediately gather three thousand guests to rescue you!"

Snapped!
An unknown object suddenly flew over and hit Fusu on the forehead, causing him to stagger back. Opposite the First Emperor, he had just withdrawn his hand.

He just couldn't stand it.

This son whom he had carefully raised was so stupid and shameful.

Moreover, it was not only Fusu's face that was lost, but also the face of the First Emperor!

What do you mean I have a reason that is hard to tell? Am I being forced?

Compared to Fusu, how come Xiao Shisan seems as smart as a fox? !
Xiao Shisan is self-taught, but Fusu was taught by me personally.

Doesn't this comparison make me seem incompetent?
Furious, the First Emperor cursed:
"Bastard!"

"Why did I give birth to such a fool like you?"

"You are still thinking of summoning three thousand guests to save me. Have you forgotten how your Thirteenth Brother's three thousand Snow Dragon Riders swept away the Xiongnu's 100,000 Iron Cavalry?"

"Your three thousand guests can defeat the Great Snow Dragon Riders?"

Fusu was confused, stroking his forehead with one hand, and retorted aggrievedly: "Hasn't the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry always been stationed in the northern border?"

"Besides, Father, aren't you the commander-in-chief of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry? Even if they return, with you here, won't they still follow your lead?!"

The First Emperor was furious: "How stupid!!"

"Is there water in your brain?!"

"Do you think Xiao Shisan only has those three thousand Snow Dragon Riders?!"

"Don't you know how he was able to create three thousand Snow Dragon Riders?!"

"Do you think there are only three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders?!"

"If you dare to make any unusual moves, I tell you, this Xianyang Palace will be filled with tens of thousands of new Great Snow Dragon Riders in an instant!"

"Besides, do you really think I am the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Riders?!"

"Do you have any brains at all?!"

"Don't you know who gave you this commander-in-chief position?!"

"That was given by Little Thirteen!"

"I'm angry, I'm angry!"

While cursing, the First Emperor looked around for something to throw at Fusu.

However, his angry words not only stunned Fusu, but also shocked the entire audience.

What? Young Master Thirteen actually has more than three thousand of these extremely powerful Snow Dragon Riders?
He is actually the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Riders?

And it was conferred by the Thirteenth Prince himself? !

Two months ago, the Thirteenth Prince had already appointed Your Majesty as a general?
what on earth is it?

For a moment, everyone was shocked and at a loss.

Your Majesty, aren't you the emperor?
How come to be a general you need your son to be appointed as such?
And there are the Great Snow Dragon Riders, such a powerful force, and there are actually still thousands of them?

For an army like this, a few hundred people are already invincible, so where do they get their weapons and armor from for thousands of people?

Where did they get their war horses?
Even if you search the entire Qin Dynasty, you won’t find such high-quality metals and good horses!

Are these all fake?

However, these words came from His Majesty's mouth.

Then, the Thirteenth Young Master is really terrifying!

With so many Snow Dragon Riders, men and horses working together, how much food and grass would be needed to feed them!

At this moment, everyone looked at Thirteen with fear in their eyes.
