Chapter 54 The First Emperor's Methods
When the First Emperor said this, even the court officials who were usually so afraid of him that they dared not even fart cried out in surprise.
Feng Quji, Li Si, Wang Jian and other bigwigs no longer pretended to be dead.
They all raised their heads and looked in surprise at the First Emperor who had suddenly made shocking remarks.
They had only one thought in their minds at this moment.
Is Your Majesty suffering from a serious illness?
Otherwise, why are you so eager to arrange a successor?
There is a big problem here!
Unlike these big guys who had wild imaginations, Fusu just felt particularly aggrieved at this time.
I have to say, Fusu has been brainwashed by Confucianism for so many years, he really believes it!
At the same time, he is also a real gentle gentleman!
At this time, he did not envy his sixth brother Ying Yuan, nor did he blame his father, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, for favoring his younger brother.
He was actually reflecting at this time.
He reflected on what he had done wrong that caused his father to not trust him so much and instead trust his sixth brother who had just entered the court to observe government affairs.
It's really pitiful to see him with red eyes, full of grievance and confusion, but holding his head high and not wanting to make a fool of himself.
If other people were just excited, then Chunyu Yue was jumping to the point of madness.
The old man was tense all over at this moment.
His eyes were wide open, veins on his neck were exposed, and his lips were trembling slightly with anger. He stared at the First Emperor above him with resentment and anger on his face.
"Your Majesty, where does this move put Prince Fusu?"
"Prince Fusu has always had a good reputation. He is the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty and has been observing government affairs for many years."
"Even if there are some things that are not to your majesty's liking, your majesty can teach me carefully or give me a severe punishment. How can you just ignore it like this?"
"How can Your Majesty, the inheritance of imperial power and the great affairs of the country be allowed to play with it like this?"
hiss……
A series of coordinated inhalations rang out in the court.
Everyone was shocked!
Oh my god, is Chunyu Yue so powerful?
Are you willing to give up your life for Prince Fusu?
In fact, Lian Yingyuan was cheering for Chunyu Yue in his heart at this moment.
'Go, go, go! Go ahead and do it!'
"Whether I can live a leisurely life depends on you. Come on, old man!"
Does Chunyu Yue know the danger of his actions?
of course I know!
But he had already drawn the arrow and had to shoot!
Confucianism placed a heavy bet on Fusu.
Especially Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong, they devoted all their efforts to Fusu.
If this is accomplished, then naturally Confucianism will become the most prominent school of thought among all schools of thought and flourish, and Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong will also rise to prominence and leave their names in history.
But if the plan fails, not only will Confucianism suffer, but these two people will definitely be ruined!
This is a gamble where you risk everything!
As for Chunyu Yue, he had already put all his chips on the table. It was understandable that he was a little excited at this moment.
However, even the First Emperor knew all these things.
But he doesn't care!
Why should I care about this?
"Chun Yuyue!"
"Who should I choose as regent? Do I need your consent?"
"Who will I pass this position to? Do you need to have any say in this?"
"Is my business a joke?"
There was no cursing or anger, he just faced Chunyu Yue's three questions calmly.
But it made Chunyu Yue fall to his knees with a thud.
He really couldn't stand the direct gaze of the First Emperor and his profound and majestic aura.
He simply fell to the ground like a quail, without saying a word.
However, the First Emperor no longer cared about these things at this moment.
He turned his head slightly, looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, what do you think of my action?"
"Do you want the position of regent?"
The words were very straightforward, so straightforward that they didn't even seem like something that should be said in a court.
But after Fusu swayed slightly, he gritted his teeth and faced his father, bowing his hands and saying, "Father, I am your biological son, so I should be filial to you and obey your will."
"Everything is decided by my father, and I will obey!"
"Ok!"
The First Emperor did not comment on Fusu's answer. He just turned around and looked at Ying Yuan.
"Ying Yuan, you really don't want to take the position of regent?"
"No! I think my elder brother is great!"
Ying Yuan still answered with certainty!
The straight back and firm tone made Fusu, who was standing beside him, burst into tears.
"Sixth brother is indeed a pure-hearted person!"
"Even now, you still insist on recommending me!"
'These are my brothers and sisters, my beloved relatives and friends! '
'Don't worry, brother. I won't let you down!'
Let’s not talk about Fusu’s feeling of being touched for now.
On this side, the First Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted.
"Humph, are you going to disobey me?"
"Young Master Yuan has become much braver recently!"
Upon hearing his father's slightly sarcastic words, Ying Yuan instinctively shrank his neck and became scared.
He knew that if his father really got angry, he would be very cruel to him.
He immediately gave the First Emperor a humble and flattering smile, and then quickly changed his angle.
"Father, as a prince of the Great Qin, it is my duty to sacrifice my life for the Great Qin."
"But as the emperor's son, I cannot just stand by and watch something that would damage our father-son relationship happen!"
"If I become the regent, what will you do, brother?"
"So, I, your son, also have my own difficulties. Please take back your order, father!"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor's mouth curled up slightly and nodded.
"Well, I understand Gongzi Yuan's painstaking efforts!"
"However, there is one thing I didn't explain clearly just now."
"Prince Yuan is ordered to supervise the state, and Prince Fusu will accompany me on my eastern tour and be taught by me personally."
"So, Master Yuan, will you accept the position of regent or not?"
When these words were spoken, the entire court, including Ying Yuan, was stunned.
Everyone looked at the First Emperor at the top with a strange expression.
Great!
Your Majesty the Emperor really knows how to have fun!
It turns out that you have already made arrangements for your two sons early on!
One is brought by his side to teach him personally and to travel around the world;
The other stayed in Xianyang to handle state affairs.
One was personally taught by the First Emperor and made his presence known to the world;
The other is that he has the power to regent, which allows him to establish his own prestige in the court and throughout the country.
Ok!
A bowl of water was made level in this strange way?
Ying Yuan smacked his lips and looked at the First Emperor in a daze.
Just in time to see the momentary curl of the Emperor's mouth.
This made Ying Yuan's face turn black.
Depend on!
My father is actually a black-bellied monster!
How can you force people to work in this way?!
Row!
I admit defeat in this matter!
"Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"
With Ying Yuan reluctantly accepting the order, the matter of the prince acting as regent came to an end.
Of course, this is just a prototype right now!
