Chapter 280 The ministers are envious, who wouldn’t love this maid?

However, there is no need to say more, as everyone's minds are like mirrors and have already seen through everything.

If Fusu had seen the edict with his own eyes, he would probably have really ended up in a dead end.

This is the constraint of Confucian teachings, which makes thinking rigid!

The First Emperor was filled with disappointment when he saw this scene, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Fusu, do you know how deeply I regret this moment?"

"I regret making you the successor to the throne!"

"If Xiao Shisan hadn't known everything and stopped it!"

"Then my last wish will be tampered by Zhao Gao and Li Si, and the false edict will be sent to the northern border. At that time, you, my foolish brother, will actually obey the false edict and commit suicide!"

"You know, if that happens, the Qin Empire will fall into the hands of the traitor Zhao Gao!"

"Although Zhao Gao and Li Si committed crimes, they committed treason first, so later generations have nothing to say."

"And you, as the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, will become the biggest culprit in history!!!"

Under the Emperor's angry rebuke, Fusu took a step back, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

I am a sinner
I will be deceived by the false edict and commit suicide
I.
He was about to explain that perhaps he would not commit suicide, but would gather troops from the northern border to counterattack Xianyang and eliminate Zhao Gao.

However, under the sharp gaze of the First Emperor, Fusu became timid.

He realized that his thoughts at this moment came only from the knowledge of hindsight.

If he had been in the northern border at the time, under the surveillance of Zhao Gao's assassins and guards, he would most likely have died on the spot for the sake of his honor and to obey the king's orders, thus leaving a good name in history as a loyalist to the emperor.

Now it seems that my own pedantry was really ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, what happened afterwards? What about the fake imperial edict forged by Zhao Gao and Li Si?"

A minister asked a question in the audience, and everyone was eager to know what would happen next.

At this time, the First Emperor glanced at Ying Heng on the stage, his eyes flickering with relief, and he smiled and replied:

"Later, fortunately, Xiao Shisan saw through the conspiracy of Zhao Gao and others in time, turned the tide, hit the nail on the head, and pulled the Qin Dynasty back from the edge of the cliff!"

Inside the hall, the First Emperor praised Xiao Shisan for all this, saying that without him, the Qin Dynasty might have perished long ago.

At this moment, people followed the First Emperor's gaze and looked at the Thirteenth Prince on the stage.

The Thirteenth Young Master was seen lying peacefully, with the purple-clothed lady fanning him gently, and the green-clothed lady squatting beside him, massaging his legs and occasionally picking out fruits from the ice on the table and feeding them into his mouth, enjoying the meal immensely.

Compared with the ministers kneeling on the ground, some of whom were even bleeding, this scene made people lose all respect for the Thirteenth Young Master.

Is this Thirteenth Young Master really capable of saving the country?

Fusu now re-examined his thirteenth brother. According to his father, it was he who intercepted the false edict sent by Zhao Gao to the northern border and saved Fusu's life...

If we count the time in the northern border when he was captured by the Huns and was fortunately rescued by the Snow Dragon Riders, in just six months, the Thirteenth Brother has silently saved Fusu's life twice.

Thinking of this, Fusu couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

The First Emperor did not care about what people thought. He continued, "Not long after I announced my abdication, Zhao Gao kidnapped Li Si and conspired to tamper with the imperial edict."

"He immediately ordered the palace guards and his trusted aides to ride on horseback and deliver the forged will to the northern border!"

"Their messenger even spread the news of my death before I did!"

When these words were spoken, all the ministers gasped. If not for this, who could have stopped it?
The First Emperor was satisfied with their reaction and continued, "Thanks to my Great Qin for having Little Thirteen."

"Fusu, you must listen carefully. You don't know that you have been saved without knowing it."

"The moment Xiao Shisan learned of my death, he sent guards to intercept me."

The First Emperor turned his head and glanced at Zi Nu, who was fanning herself on the stage. He raised his hand slightly and smiled brilliantly. It's me, it's me.

The First Emperor nodded in confirmation: "Miss Zi Yi is a half-step celestial being, so it was easy for her to take action and successfully obtain the fake edict."

Everyone felt relieved when they heard this, and Fusu's tense nerves relaxed a little.

At this moment, they really paid attention to the three people on the stage.

Ying Heng remained indifferent, while Zi Yi fanned herself wholeheartedly, serving the Thirteenth Young Master.

Although it was a little monotonous, there was no sign of force on her face.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that this purple-clad maid of the Thirteenth Young Master is actually a top-notch expert who has never been exposed, at the level of a half-step celestial being! !
Rumor has it that the Thirteenth Young Master has a personal maid, who is a talented girl from a farming family and has now cultivated to the level of a celestial being!
It is horrifying to think about it this way. Could it be that the most beautiful and most powerful woman in the world has become the maid of the Thirteenth Young Master?

How did he do it?
Why do you have all this?
Just because of his carelessness?

Or was it because of his ability in governing the Qin Dynasty?
I’m afraid these peerless beauties won’t be conquered simply because of their talent, right?

For a moment, in addition to being shocked, all the civil and military officials felt a little more confused.

When Fusu looked at Zi Yi, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was so arrogant just now. If she really had intentions, even with Meng Tian's help, he would probably be killed by her with one palm.

After the fear, Fusu felt a little sad.

They were both princes, and he was the eldest prince of the Great Qin. There were three thousand guests in his mansion, so why didn't he have a maid with such powerful martial arts skills to protect him?
No, Thirteenth Brother’s situation has gone beyond being protected, he is being carefully cared for!
So envious...

I heard that there is a descendant of the Mohist school in the mansion, named Mo Ningshuang, who is a woman of outstanding character and appearance, and is as famous as Tian Rao of the Tian family. Both are rare beauties in the world and extremely wise.

When I return home today, I will summon Mo Ningshuang and ask her to serve me.

Fusu made up his mind secretly.

When we go to court tomorrow, my Thirteenth Brother will take those two with him, and I will take Mo Ningshuang with me, so that we will be evenly matched.

After the First Emperor finished narrating the story of how Zi Yi took back the false edict, the audience had different reactions. Although many were shocked, most people could accept it.

After all, Zhao Gao's death and the temporary stability of the Qin Dynasty were already open secrets.

Although Fusu was still unwilling, he knew that Ying Heng had once saved his life.

At this moment, it is not appropriate for him to refute further.

At this time, someone asked:
"Your Majesty, do you have any solid evidence for the fake will forged by Zhao Gao and Li Si?"

The First Emperor glanced at the man and nodded slightly. He had originally intended to publicly display the fake will.

He turned to look at Ying Heng, and Ying Heng signaled the blue-clothed attendant to take down the edict.

The First Emperor took the fake will and unfolded it in public. Everyone stretched their necks to watch, and those who were close began to read its contents:

"The eldest son Fusu is cowardly and incompetent, and advocates Confucianism, which undermines the foundation of the Qin Dynasty."

"Even if I guard the North Gate, I have accomplished nothing. I am unworthy of the title of the eldest son of the Qin Empire!"

"Now I order: Fusu to commit suicide at Beiguan to apologize for his crime!"

"Also, the eighteenth prince Hu Hai is both virtuous and talented, and can inherit the throne of the Qin Dynasty..."

"From now on: Hu Hai will be made the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty!"
