Chapter 93: I can give him everything in this world except the throne!
"Now there is another question, Secret Guard, please think about it for me."
“Suppose, just suppose.”
"If what Dong Zhongshu said today about Xiao Shisan is true."
"Then, in the future, when Xiao Shisan is ready to bury me with a fake Yitong, I must show up."
"Then how should I deal with Xiao Shisan?"
"Can I still punish him for plotting to usurp the throne and committing treason?"
Well.
This is a question that touches the soul.
Before Dahei could answer, sweat broke out on his forehead.
No matter how you two are punished or how you run the country, in the end it is still your family affair between father and son.
ask me
If you answer inappropriately, you will be beheaded in a matter of minutes.
However, not answering is not an option.
The First Emperor's eyes were fixed on him intently.
Dahei secretly observed the emperor's expression, trying to figure it out, and replied cautiously, "Reporting to the master."
"I believe that no matter how great the Thirteenth Prince's achievements are, and how much he has changed the face of the Qin Empire, there is one thing he cannot erase."
He took a peek and saw that His Majesty was not displeased. He motioned for him to continue, and Dahei continued speaking.
"First of all, the Thirteenth Prince tampered with the imperial edict and deprived Fusu of the throne that you passed on. This is a crime of usurping the throne. He must admit it no matter what."
Although he has not yet ascended the throne, the date has been set, so it can be considered a usurpation.
Seeing the Emperor nod slightly, Dahei continued, "Secondly, the Thirteenth Prince killed your confidants, abolished your decrees, stopped the construction of your palace, mobilized your military power without authorization, and even prepared a perfunctory funeral for you."
"This is a crime of unfilial piety, and no matter what merits he has, it cannot offset this."
The First Emperor nodded again, but his expression was gloomy.
Dahei understood that exposing and criticizing his son in front of the emperor would have disastrous consequences.
The Qin Shi Huang's expression relaxed, and Da Hei, seeing this, became more confident, thinking that his suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for making such a bold assumption, but this is just a hypothesis."
He said carefully, "If everything I heard today is true, or at least half of it is true."
"Then please imagine how prosperous our Great Qin will be?"
"If the Thirteenth Young Master really has such talent, employing him appropriately may produce unexpected results."
"In the future, you will be the emperor, and the Thirteenth Prince will take on important responsibilities in the court. Father and son will work together to build a foundation that will last forever."
"Such an achievement cannot be compared with your Majesty, not to mention the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even if a true immortal descends!"
The First Emperor nodded slightly, a smile reappearing on his face: "Well said!"
"I really didn't expect that this kid had some talent in governing a country, especially in strengthening national strength. It seems that he has inherited some of my strengths."
"I originally planned to put him in charge of a department and use the advantages of Mohism to create benefits for Daqin."
"But now it seems that the existence of those two prime ministers is no longer necessary. The two of them combined are not as useful as my son!"
"Let Xiao Shisan try for the position of Prime Minister."
"It's better to give him something to do than to have him do nothing all day."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously.
Then, he asked another question: "Secret Guard, tell me, how should I punish him?"
"Since you plan to use him, you can't really kill him."
"Also, if I really reach the end of my life in a few years, I will need to reconsider whether to hand over the Qin Dynasty to Fusu or Xiao Shisan."
"But if I don't punish him, I will not be able to bear this." The secret guard pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suggested: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that kills three birds with one stone!"
"Oh? Tell me about it." The First Emperor asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, you are now at the Grandmaster level. You can probably extend your life by five or six years."
"But have you ever thought that with your outstanding talent for cultivation, it is entirely possible for you to take advantage of this momentum and be promoted to the Grandmaster level within a month!"
"I can even make a bold guess that you might be able to break through to an unprecedented level of heaven and man!"
"After all, I have never seen a cultivator as gifted as Your Majesty!"
The First Emperor's eyes sparkled: "Oh? Go on."
"Your Majesty, imagine that on your last day, when the Thirteenth Prince was preparing to hold a funeral for you and was about to ascend the throne, you suddenly returned and were promoted to Grand Master..."
“How will they react?”
"Hey, the court officials must be shocked and the common people excited."
"The people of the entire Great Qin will once again prostrate themselves on the ground to warmly welcome your Majesty's invincible triumph!"
"What will happen to those civil and military officials who betrayed the Thirteenth Prince?"
"They will tremble!"
"At that time, Your Majesty can capture the Thirteenth Young Master and teach him a lesson personally!"
"I believe that when a father teaches his son, who dares to stop him?"
"Even the Thirteenth Young Master's maid dared not make a single move."
"Besides, the Thirteenth Young Master is just a weak... ahem, nerd. Under the might of your majesty's Grand Master, escaping is just wishful thinking!"
"Then you can teach him a lesson in front of all the ministers. That way you can finally vent your anger, right?"
"Then, publicly announce it, acknowledge his achievements, confer him the title of marquis, or appoint him as prime minister, as a token of consolation."
"This way, His Majesty will be relieved and the Thirteenth Young Master will also save face."
"After that, father and son will work together to build a great Qin that will last for thousands of years, isn't that a wonderful thing?"
Dahei became excited when he said this. He counted on his fingers and said, "You were promoted to Grand Master, and your life span was extended by sixty years. The whole country was amazed. The Thirteenth Prince was punished, and the Qin State is heading towards a glorious future..."
"Happy events like this happen one after another, I can't even count them all!"
Dahei told the story excitedly while counting on his fingers. Seeing the joy on the face of the First Emperor, he knew that he had made the right bet again.
Oh, I have saved my life again. It is really like walking on thin ice for you.
When the First Emperor heard this, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it turns out you understand me and know how to help me solve my problems."
"Great! That's a great idea!"
"But, you guys, your ideas are still too superficial."
"If I want to vent my anger, why should I wait until the day of my coronation?"
snort!
Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, and Wang Ben, right?
I originally wanted to kill you, but now it seems understandable that I was seduced by Xiao Shisan.
However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot. For the time being, I will not vent my anger at Xiao Shisan for your betrayal, but can't I take it out on you?
As for Xiao Shisan, he gave me a surprise.
A son who can defeat heaven is actually also a son who can defeat me.
In this world, I can give him everything except the throne!
