Chapter 52: The First Emperor's sudden and unrestrained actions

The next day, the court meeting was held again.

The court officials looked at Ying Yuan who arrived "on time" again, and they were no longer surprised.

It’s nothing, I’m just used to it!

All the court officials finally understood what was going on.

The Sixth Young Master really doesn't take these rules seriously.

Perhaps in his opinion, these so-called rules are useless red tape.

Following the eunuch's loud shout, a group of court officials walked into the Qilin Hall in an orderly manner.

Accompanied by a loud shout of "Your Majesty has arrived", all civil and military officials cheered in unison.

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live the Great Qin!"

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live the Great Qin!"

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live the Great Qin!"

……

Seeing the First Emperor sitting at the head, Feng Quji suddenly became restless.

Not only did he think about it for a long time last night, he also repeatedly considered his speech.

This is for the scene that is about to begin.

He wants to win!
Here, Feng Quji was waiting for the eunuch standing over there to announce the official start of the court meeting, and then he planned to make some arrangements.

He was so eager to try that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

However, when he was about to take a step forward, he suddenly saw the First Emperor, who was sitting high up at the head, wave his hand and suddenly start a topic that no one had expected.

"Today, during the court meeting, I have something to tell all the ministers!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Quji retracted his feet, Wang Jian, who was dozing off, opened his eyes, and Li Si, who had been looking sideways with his eyebrows lowered, suddenly raised his head...

Everyone knew that since the First Emperor could bring it up so seriously at a court meeting without consulting his officials in advance, it must be a very important matter.

But what they didn't expect was that today's events were even bigger than they imagined.

"I intend to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods and to inform the ancestors and martyrs of the Qin Dynasty of my achievements and the gods of the heavens of my glory."

"There is no need to consider this matter any further!"

"But, I am responsible for the Qin Dynasty and have deep connections. If I am not in Xianyang, the government will be slow!"

Having said this, the First Emperor habitually half-squinted his tiger eyes and glanced at everyone before speaking in a deep voice.

"Therefore, I want to establish a position of regent, who will exercise the power of governing the country on my behalf when I go on my eastern tour to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods!"

wow...

As soon as the First Emperor said this, the entire court was in chaos.

Let’s not talk about the Eastern Tour and the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai for now, and just talk about the matter of being the regent. It is of huge importance.

Listen to what the First Emperor just said?

Acting as the ruler of the country!!!

In other words, be the emperor for him!
Although everyone knows that this right will definitely have limitations, for example, major matters need to be reported and the transfer of soldiers needs to be reviewed.

But even so, this right is greater than heaven!

It would be strange if the court officials were not excited.

The First Emperor did not say a word and let the court officials make noise and talk.

At this moment, he was like a god sitting high in the clouds, observing everything happening in the hall indifferently without any expression.

As he expected, everyone was making a fuss, which made him secretly proud of himself.

"It seems that the officials in this world are not beyond my expectations!"

But just as these words rang in the First Emperor's mind, he caught sight of a particularly eye-catching character.

I saw that the sixth son of my family not only did not participate in the discussion of the court officials, but also yawned as if he did not sleep well last night.

Then he continued to look at everyone present with a lazy attitude and unceremoniously. At this moment, Ying Yuan's whole state was just short of having the word "bored" written directly on his face.

This situation made the First Emperor's face suddenly turn cold.

"Hey little brat, do you really not care, or are you just pretending not to care?"

'Your elder brother, who was praised by the world as a kind and filial gentleman in the past, is now so excited that he can't stand steadily. Why are you so calm?'

'Do you really dislike these things and want to be lazy, or do you think these things have nothing to do with you? '

I don’t know what’s wrong with the First Emperor lately, he has become more and more interested in this little brat of his own.

Looking at his little one secretly leaning against the pillar and yawning, the First Emperor, who had been busy reading baskets of memorials and stayed up late again last night, snorted coldly.

"Okay, let's take our time!"

Feng Quji felt very unwell at this moment.

He wondered why his Majesty didn't play by the rules.
How did this matter of acting as regent during the tour suddenly come up?

Shouldn't matters like this be discussed in the court after summoning trusted ministers to sound out the situation first?
But looking at the situation now, even that old man Wang Jian might not have heard any rumors beforehand.

While Feng Quji was feeling depressed, Chunyu Yue, Shusun Tong and others were so excited that their faces turned red.

They looked at Fusu standing in front of them excitedly, their eyes not too gentle.

"I thought that Confucianism would have a chance to develop only after Your Majesty's hundred years and Prince Fusu came to power. Now it seems that the destiny is with Confucianism!"

In their view, if the First Emperor wanted to go on tour, then there was no one else to be chosen as the regent except Prince Fusu.

Others are not qualified!

However, just when Chunyu Yue and others were getting very excited, Feng Quji suddenly stood up and bowed to advise them with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. I feel that the matter of superintendent is of great importance. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court fell silent.

Everyone looked at Feng Quji in surprise as he stood up, and they all suspected that they had an eye disease acting up.

Or maybe the person opposite is not Feng Quji at all.

Otherwise, why would this right prime minister, who was known for his ruthlessness, start to resort to the tactic of speaking out against the emperor?

This style is not right!
When the First Emperor saw Feng Quji stand up and politely raise his objection, he did not get angry. Instead, he asked calmly.

"Does Prime Minister Feng feel that there is something wrong with this matter?"

"Then why don't you tell me, Prime Minister Feng, what's wrong with that?"

Feng Quji was so overwhelmed by the Emperor's unhurried words that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still answered with gritted teeth.

"I personally think that our Great Qin is in a state of disrepair right now, with numerous political and military affairs to deal with. If we leave it to a certain young master to handle, I'm afraid there will be chaos."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

No!

Are you, Feng Quji, Prime Minister Feng, so loyal and brave?

Exposing my shortcomings in front of my face!

You are so brave!

But the First Emperor unexpectedly nodded again.

"Well, your concerns are not groundless."

"However, I have already considered this matter."

"I have decided that the Prince Regent will directly start exercising the power of regent in the near future."

"And I, on the other hand, am watching from the sidelines, both teaching, supervising and observing."

"In this way, when I feel it is appropriate, I can go out for a tour without any worries!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

And all the Confucianists looked at Fusu with eyes that were almost tearing!
