Chapter 283 The Qin Dynasty is about to perish!

At this moment, Fusu was sincerely seeking an explanation. He believed that Liu Bowen might be a talent cultivated by his father somewhere, and there must be some hidden reason why he was pushed to the position of prime minister by his thirteenth brother.

At this moment, as long as his father said frankly that Liu Bowen was indeed talented enough to be prime minister, Fusu would back down and return to his mansion obediently.

When Fusu raised the question, all the civil and military officials in the court, including Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others, were also curious.

They also don't know the background of this man named Liu Bowen.

Nowadays, people no longer dare to easily conclude that this person has unknown origins.

After all, His Majesty the First Emperor had shown them many times how unfathomable he was.

However, just as everyone was looking forward to the First Emperor revealing this man's prominent identity and recognizing him as prime minister, a trace of confusion flashed across the First Emperor's face.

He responded equally uncertainly: "Well..."

"Um……"

"Liu Bowen, where are you from? What works or achievements have you made? Where have you served as an official? What countries have you governed?"

Liu Bowen, the scholar who had been silent and motionless when he was summoned to court, finally spoke after watching dozens of chapters of the court drama.

"I am a commoner. I have never written a book or held an official position. I have no achievements."

The First Emperor: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Everyone looked at the First Emperor again, feeling that something was not right. It seemed that His Majesty did not know this person very well?

Then, the First Emperor turned to look at the Thirteenth Prince on the stage and asked hesitantly:

"Heng'er, who exactly is this Liu Bowen? Is it ill-considered to hastily appoint him as prime minister?"

"Should we first place him in a position in one of the six ministries to train and observe him?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned...

In the court, the ministers suddenly realized that even the supreme Emperor Qin Shi Huang did not know this man's true face.

Your Majesty also expressed some doubts about Liu Bowen, the sudden candidate for Prime Minister.

At this moment, all the ministers seemed to have just woken up from a dream, they were full of energy and stood up straight.

Before, due to the strong support of His Majesty the First Emperor, they had no choice but to acquiesce to the Thirteenth Prince's decision.

However, selecting a new prime minister is a matter of great importance to the country, and even Your Majesty is not aware of it yet. How can we take this matter lightly?
How can we tolerate that the Thirteenth Young Master actually tried to conceal the truth by doing this?

After everyone suddenly realized what was going on, they seemed to be injected with fighting spirit, and all turned their eyes to the Thirteenth Young Master on the stage, ready to engage in a heated debate with him, vowing to compete with him!
Just now, His Majesty the First Emperor praised the Thirteenth Prince and belittled all the civil and military officials in the court, including Fusu. Everyone was holding a grudge in their hearts.

Now, they finally found the opportunity to refute, how could they let it go easily?

As a result, the desire to win burned in their hearts, and they directed their arrows of doubt at the Thirteenth Young Master, at the strange Liu Bowen who had just stepped into the hall.

However, Ying Heng seemed to have no intention of arguing with them. Facing the questioning of the First Emperor, he lazily changed his sitting posture and said casually: "No need to discuss it, let him be the prime minister, the matter has been decided."

His Majesty the First Emperor was speechless for a moment. I am the emperor, how dare you ignore my authority?

Even so, at this moment, even His Majesty the First Emperor, facing Ying Heng's decision, could only cautiously test and discuss it.

After all, in the past six months, all of Thirteen's decisions seemed absurd, but they always brought unexpected results.

Many times, his ideas were ahead of their time and amazing.

Therefore, faced with such an absurd proposal to invite an unknown person to serve as the chief prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang did not dare to jump to conclusions.

The First Emperor was confused, and other ministers looked at each other. Although most people did not dare to speak directly, there were still many stubborn scholars who insisted on getting the truth.

"Your Majesty, do you think that the Thirteenth Prince is too willful in his behavior?" "Can he really have the final say in the Qin Empire and ignore the laws and regulations?"

This touched the First Emperor. He turned to Ying Heng and whispered, "Heng'er, why don't you also introduce Liu Bowen's abilities?"

"My Great Qin has a vast territory. I have no objection to your choice of a prime minister, but please introduce Liu Bowen's abilities to convince these people."

"Well, let the colleagues in the court understand his strengths so that they can find the key more quickly when working together in the future."

The First Emperor's words went through several twists and turns, but he finally expressed his expectations in a tactful way.

After all, he has handed over power to Xiao Shisan, and the future of the entire Qin should be dominated by him.
As a king, he is well aware of the iron rule that there can't be two tigers in one mountain.

Even as an emperor, he had to show a bit of respect to the Thirteen Dukes in front of everyone to help them establish their prestige.

Sure enough, as soon as the First Emperor's tone changed, the faces of the civil and military officials in the court instantly became surprised and confused.

Your Majesty, are you discussing this with the Thirteenth Young Master?
No, it's more like a cautious request?

what! ! !
Could it be that this Thirteenth Young Master has played some trick on Your Majesty?
Why is Your Majesty so cautious towards him?

Who exactly is this Thirteenth Young Master?
Was his power truly peacefully acquired?

In any case, I must be more cautious when facing him in the future. Even His Majesty treats him with great respect.

How can we, the ministers, not be vigilant?

Ying Heng understood the subtle hint from the First Emperor.

Since his father has given him such honor, he would rather obey his orders respectfully.

He straightened up slightly in his seat and said to Liu Ji in the audience:
"Bowen, these people are dissatisfied with you, why not show your talents."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the scholar.

Liu Bowen first bowed to Ying Heng and said, "Yes, sir."

Then, he turned to the crowd and announced in a loud voice: "The Great Qin is about to perish!"

Liu Bowen's shocking words echoed in the hall, and the whole place fell into dead silence.

Hundreds of civil officials and military officers, including the First Emperor, were all shocked. The Qin Dynasty was about to perish?

how can that be!

After a brief silence, there was a burst of laughter.

In addition to ordinary ministers, some core ministers are aware of the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty.

The First Emperor knew very well that, let alone the demise of the Qin Dynasty, he now had the confidence to conquer the world.

However, the First Emperor did not question him directly, but instead gave Meng Yi a look.

Meng Yi immediately stood up to refute:
"Mr. Bowen, is it?"

"Speak with evidence!"

"Now the new rice of the Great Qin is everywhere, and in a month or two it will be fully harvested. By then, the millions of people of the Great Qin will have two to three years of food reserves. How can we talk about extinction?"

"Or do you think that Daqin will be invaded by foreign enemies?"

"You may have just come from the countryside, so you don't know the military strength of our Qin?"

"In recent months, we have suppressed the rebellion of the six kingdoms and left 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry in the north. To the south, General Zhao Tuo has led hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and millions of old Qin people to settle down in the land of Baiyue."

"Besides the north and south, there is a natural barrier to the west and the Wangyang Sea to the east. Where else do you think there might be danger?"
