Chapter 53 The Cauldron Falling from the Sky

Since the First Emperor has said so much, there is naturally nothing more to say.

All the civil and military officials understood.

They only have the right to accept!
After understanding this premise, the minds of the court officials immediately changed.

Most people unconsciously glanced at Prince Fusu who was standing in front of them.

Not stupid!
Since Your Majesty has already decided on the regent, it is natural for you to choose one from among the princes to be the regent.

But now, among all the princes of the Great Qin, only Prince Fusu and Prince Yuan can stand in the court.

Others have never even had the chance to attend court and observe government affairs, so how could they have the chance to become the regent?

I don’t know if it’s because Ying Yuan’s previous nicknames of “Master Jade” and “Bad at Playing” were too deeply rooted in people’s minds.

To the extent that, at this moment, 99% of the court officials looked at Fusu.

In their opinion, this matter must be Fusu's.

Otherwise, how can other young masters convince the crowd?
This seat doesn't mean that once you sit down, everyone has to obey your orders.

In other words, the person sitting in this seat is really there to do his job.

If a person with nothing at all and no knowledge sits in that seat, he can only be a yes-man and a human stamp.

Confucian scholars such as Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong not only had rosy faces at this moment, but their chests were also puffing out, they looked so proud.

It's just that the venue is not suitable at this moment, otherwise these people would have shouted a few words.

"Fusu is here, Daqin is saved!"

"Fusu is here, the blue sky is here!"

However, although they could not shout out loud, it did not prevent them from looking at the people present with a proud and even somewhat arrogant look.

But at this time, the First Emperor keenly discovered that Li Si, Wang Jian and even Feng Quji were all silently looking at their sixth son.

The action was very covert, and if he hadn't been paying attention, he wouldn't have even noticed it.

But it was this discovery that made the First Emperor feel slightly moved.

"For this matter, I am interested in the Sixth Young Master Ying Yuan. I wonder what your opinions are?"

wow...

The entire court was quiet at first, and then plunged into complete excitement.

No one expected that their Emperor Qin Shi Huang was so quiet on weekdays.

Today, a big thing happened suddenly.

They felt that they had been surprised as many times in the whole year as they had today.

As soon as the First Emperor finished speaking, the Confucianists were completely stunned.

Chunyu Yue, who was in the lead, had a pale face, and his fists were clenched so tightly that veins on the back of his hands popped out.

It looked as if he was about to transform on the spot.

All the other Confucian followers instantly became as mournful as if they had lost their parents, and they shrank back completely.

There is no trace of the arrogance he had just now!
The real bigwigs in the court, such as Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Jian and others, all narrowed their eyes at the same time.

There is a pit here!

The three top leaders of the Qin Dynasty, who were in charge of civil and military affairs, almost instantly determined that the First Emperor was setting a trap for others to fall into.

So, the first thing to do is to shut up, lower your head, and act like a wooden man.

Wang Jian even did not forget to secretly kick his stupid son Wang Ben, and forced the excited stupid son to lower his head quickly.

At this moment, two loud voices sounded simultaneously in the court.

"I object!"

"I object!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the person who spoke.

Afterwards, everyone felt that today's show was really fucking brilliant.

I thought the previous scene was the climax, but it turns out that was just the beginning.

Now it’s fun!
Everyone at this moment has one thought in mind: to watch the show!

Ying Yuan didn't expect that there was someone who thought the same as he did.

He glared at Chunyu Yue who stood up and looked at him with a frustrated look on his face, and suddenly he laughed.

He bared his big white teeth and laughed, then waved his hand.

"Dr. Chunyu, it seems you have a lot of ideas!"

"Come on, come on, you go first, come on, I'll cheer for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chunyu Yue, who was originally full of indignation and wanted to risk his life to speak out for Confucianism and himself, suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly.

nausea!

Disgusting!
But now that he has stood up and even shouted out loud just now, he can't just shrink back now, right? !

Therefore, even though his mood was not right at the moment, he still had to bite the bullet and stand up and bow.

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Your Majesty to appoint Gongzi Yuan as the regent!"

"After all, Prince Fusu is well versed in government affairs and has a great reputation. He is also the eldest son of Your Majesty."

"How can you ignore such a young master and choose Young Master Yuan without considering the principle of seniority?"

"Prince Yuan is always lazy, and he has only been observing government affairs for a few days. How can he be worthy of the responsibility of supervising the great Qin?"

Chunyu Yue's words were extremely blunt.

Not only did he point out Prince Fusu's strengths, but he also directly exposed Ying Yuan's shortcomings.

He even laid out the issue of seniority directly in front of everyone.

As a result, all the court officials couldn't help but slow down their breathing.

You know, the First Emperor's temper was not so kind.

It is risky to speak out against the emperor in the Qin Dynasty!
But the rage that everyone imagined did not come. Instead, the First Emperor looked at Ying Yuan with amusement.

"Ying Yuan, Chun Yuyue thinks you are not suitable to be the regent."

"It just so happens that I saw you stand up and oppose it just now. Do you agree with Chunyu Yue's point of view?"

There is a lot of meaning behind this statement.

The few smart people in the court understood the underlying meaning almost immediately.

"If Gong Ziyuan wants to retreat in order to avoid suspicion, then this is not easy to respond to!"

But, since Ying Yuan has already stood up, there is no reason for him to change his words at the last minute.

He nodded as a matter of course.

"Father, what you said is exactly what I think."

"I am not much better than a piece of trash. I cannot bear the responsibility of being the regent. Please choose someone else, father!"

"For example, I think my eldest brother is pretty good. He is honest and obedient, and he does whatever you tell him to do!"

"This is a good candidate who can do his job honestly. Father, please don't let him go... Oh no, don't miss him!"

Well, all the court officials now understood everything.

Got it!
What is retreat in order to advance, what is political intrigue, why does the Sixth Young Master care about this?

People play with reality!
You compare yourself with trash, if that's not sincerity enough, then what is sincerity?
This is using oneself as a stepping stone to pave the way for one's elder brother to advance.

So much so that Fusu, who was already kind-hearted, had tears in his eyes when he looked at his sixth brother.

But the First Emperor, who was sitting at the top, said something unexpectedly at this moment.

"But what if I choose you?"
