Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 209 Please appoint the eldest son as the reserve! (seeking subscription)

For the next few days, no court meeting was held.

This was completely incomprehensible to the courtiers who had long been accustomed to the diligence of the first emperor.

Just when the courtiers had an idea, the court meeting, which had been suspended for several days, started on time again, but for some reason, all the courtiers attending the meeting felt a little strange, as if this court meeting was very different from the previous court meetings.

All the officials stood upright in awe, but none of them spoke or smiled.

No one said anything.

Li Si and the others even closed their eyes, as if they were ignorant of the surrounding situation, but their eyelids fluttered from time to time, revealing their inner doubts.

During this period of time, nothing major happened in the court.

The world is also very Xianning.

Apart from not knowing what happened to the first emperor, the only thing they can think of right now is what happened to Hu Hai in the South China Sea. For the two memorials, if the First Emperor really wanted to question the crime, how could he have waited so long?

Could it be that Shihuang had a physical problem?
Baiguan secretly speculated in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face.

I do not know how long it has been.

Only the shouts of visitors came from the hall.

"Tend—"

A team of guards composed of Lang Zhong and Bi Chu Lang then drove out to guard His Highness.

see.

The courtiers headed by Li Si hurriedly withdrew their minds, looked solemn, and walked through the lane formed by the guards, and came to His Majesty, that is, under the throne. The same is listed in order from east to west.

At this time, the nine protocol officials arranged by Dianke relayed the summons in the form of "passage", announcing the arrival of the first emperor.

All the officials bowed their heads, not daring to look up.

The whole process started from "police" and ended with "stop". When the officials raised their heads, Shi Huang had already sat on the throne. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was relatively relaxed, and the officials dared to watch Looking at Shihuang, it's just that they have been separated by fifty steps recently, so it is really difficult to see Shihuang's current situation clearly.

The main hall, which was usually spacious and bright, was dark and filled with hundreds of people.

At the time of Mao, the bell and drum sounded loudly.

This court meeting officially announced the beginning.

All officials are seated.

"Everyone, I have been emperor for nine years."

All the doors and windows of Xianyang Palace were wide open, and the Shenchen Hall was quite cool in the early summer morning. Yingzheng was wearing a crown, and continued to speak calmly and dignifiedly: "In the past nine years, the world has been peaceful, and the world is in Xianning. In the past, I was busy with political affairs, planning for the future, and neglected many things."

"Today's court meeting will bring up the old things again."

"I have not done many things in these years. I have done a lot of things. I have done a lot of things, and I have done nothing wrong. Everything is in order, benefited by all productions, illuminated by the sun and moon, and carried by boats, all of them will end their lives, and there is no one who is not satisfied."

The officials listened respectfully.

This is Shihuang promoting his achievements.

Following the sentence, "Don't be virtuous, let everyone live in peace", Shi Huang changed the subject and said solemnly: "However, I have suddenly felt weak in the past few days, but I dare not be careless. The public discussions of the various departments are also decided by me, although I have the heart to finish the important things to be done as soon as possible with my white head, and the longevity of my achievements will last forever."

"But I really want to live past Nanshan."

"Then, can you?"

"The rivers never give up day and night, and the years never leave their heads."

"The dead are like this!"

"I conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world. In my opinion, this is far from the greatest achievement. The real greatest achievement in the world should be in the establishment of civilization and rule in the whole world. I am old today, but I want to serve the empire. Think about it later."

"Today's court, there is only one matter discussed."

"Stand up!!!"

"It's okay to discuss in the court meeting, and you don't avoid disagreements. It doesn't matter if you speak."

A word fell.

The faces of the officials in the hall changed slightly.

At the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the courtiers proposed to establish a crown prince, but the first emperor was not pleased. After the proposals of Wang Wan, Mao Jiao and other ministers were shelved one after another, the officials gradually did not dare to speak again.

But this time, Shihuang was uncharacteristically, and took the initiative to mention the matter of establishing a crown prince, which surprised the courtiers.

Especially thinking that the court meeting was not held a few days ago, it made them have some guesses and thoughts, but they didn't dare to express it in public, they just lowered their heads, pretending to be in deep thought.

Moreover, the establishment of a reserve is related to the future of Daqin, and they cannot be careless.

At this time.

The current Zongzheng Ying Ben said: "Your Majesty, Ying Ben dare to ask, the matter of your majesty's establishment of the crown prince is an internal matter of the royal family, why ask the officials for advice? I think your majesty's proposal is inappropriate."

Ying Zheng smiled and said indifferently: "The establishment of the crown prince is indeed a matter of my family, but it is not a matter of the world. Why not let the officials discuss it?"

"I also want to hear the advice of the officials."

Ying Ben frowned.

He wanted to speak out to persuade him, but Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him.

Ying Zheng said calmly, "You can speak freely."

Ying Zheng's words echoed in his ears, but the hall was as quiet as a valley.

None of the ministers spoke.

Some courtiers with good eyesight saw Shi Huang's demeanor.

In his 40s, the emperor has gray hair on his temples, and he also saw that the emperor's body, which has always been stalwart, has become more stooped than before.

The first emperor was really old.

But even so.

No one dared to underestimate their emperor.

Even if the tiger and wolf are old, they are still tigers and wolves after all, far from being something they can underestimate.

And
Did the first emperor really have the intention to establish a reserve?
This doubt arose in the hearts of all the officials. In the past, Shihuang was very firm in his opposition to the matter of the crown prince, and he would not talk about it at all. Does he really want to set up a crown prince now?

If they open their mouths to agree to establish a crown prince, but Shi Huang only used it as a temptation, will their rash opening be hated by Shi Huang?

Among the hundreds of officials in the hall, none of them dared to speak out at this moment.

Even Li Si had a serious face at the moment, and he couldn't figure out what the first emperor was thinking.

Inside the hall.

Hu Hai's expression was filled with emotion, filled with emotion.

Ji Heng is still right this time.

The emperor's father did give birth to the heart of establishing a crown prince, and he really wanted to establish a crown prince.

However, he didn't know why the first emperor would speak out about this matter with great fanfare, but since his father did this, there is naturally a reason for his father.

It's just that I feel somewhat lost in my heart.

he knows.

Father Huang had already decided on the candidate in his heart, and the so-called inquiry now was just a formality. Thinking of this, Hu Hai also reacted immediately.

The emperor is probably using this to test the courtiers.

On the one hand, it was to test the closeness of the ministers in the court to Fusu, and on the other hand, it was to test the attitude of the courtiers against the Chu, and this matter was decided in public, that is to say, as long as the crown prince is finally appointed as Fusu, then these courtiers will not be able to get close to Fusu before the meeting ends. , at least verbally support Fusu.

After that, he made trouble from it, and left a lot of tongue-in-cheek.

In one thought.

Hu Hai looked even more gloomy.

He felt that his stepping stone seemed too successful.

long silence.

Doctor servant Zhou Qingchen was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, doctor servant Zhou Qingchen dare to ask, what does your majesty think of the selection of the crown prince?"

Hearing Zhou Qingchen's question, Baiguan's eyes lit up.

"It's not appropriate to try to figure out what you want when discussing matters in the court." Ying Zheng rejected the temptation with a cold sentence.

Zhou Qingchen sat back with an embarrassing face.

Although the Daqin Doctoral Academy is now in name only, this official office has not really been taken away, it just has less sense of existence than before.

"Your Majesty, Hu Wujing has played." Hu Wujing, who was in the civil minister area in the west, stood up proudly, and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty the Emperor wiped out the six kingdoms, added Vega to the whole country, played the role of the Three Emperors, made meritorious deeds and demerited the Five Emperors, and measured his equipment. The writing in the same book distinguishes between high and low, men and women are courteous, obey their duties carefully, care for cattle and horses, and he is the greatest emperor in the ages."

"However, peace at home is easy, and security at home is difficult."

"The nine states in the world have different situations and customs, and it is difficult to rule them all."

"If the Great Qin wants to be safe, it must stick to the great government. It cannot be changed overnight, let alone a coup d'état."

"Among the princes of Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the eldest son is good."

"The eldest son is filial, and he will be able to uphold your majesty's great government. Moreover, the eldest son is lenient and kind. He is well-known in the nine states of the world, and he can also appease the hearts of the people in the world. Appears gentle."

"The eldest son is the reserve, which benefits both the country and the people."

"I suggest that the eldest son be appointed as the reserve."

"Your Majesty, please learn from me."

Hu Wujing expressed his opinion calmly.

He is Bong Chang.

Although he is ranked in the Jiuqing, the actual power is not important, but the reason why Fengchang can be ranked in the Jiuqing is that he is also a prince Fu. It's just that the Great Qin did not set up a prince in the past, and his prince Fu is also in name only. Daqin has established the crown prince, but his prince Fu Ke is different.

Although the official rank of the Prince's Mansion is not high.

But he was close to the future prince.

The importance cannot be overstated.

Therefore, compared to the hesitation of Baiguan, he was very happy about it, so after hesitating for a while, he spoke decisively.

After Hu Wujing's candidate was announced, the hall was still very quiet.

All the ministers have different thoughts.

Over the past year, Fusu has changed a lot.

If it was in the past, they would be happy to support Fusu as the crown prince, but the current Fusu has made them somewhat unclear and incomprehensible, which makes them feel a little insecure. , It is even more dreadful and panicky.

What makes them even more disturbed is that Fusu's actions are becoming extreme.

This will undoubtedly lead to a lot of uncertainty.

At this time.

Shi Lu opened his mouth and said: "Chen, Shi Lu seconded the proposal."

"The eldest son is resolute and brave. He believes in others and works hard. He is benevolent, has political foresight, and has an upright personality. However, today's situation is turbulent. The prince of the Qin Dynasty should have a certain amount of decisiveness. The minister believes that the eldest son will be peaceful in the country and stable in the court. , in terms of the Changzhi of the world, they are the best candidates."

"The minister also asks the eldest son to be the reserve."

Hearing the two 'Nine Qings' speaking, many courtiers in the Wenchen seat immediately paid attention.

They dare not speak first, but as long as someone speaks and His Majesty does not blame, then the situation of this big discussion will be clear.

Your Majesty really has the heart to establish a reserve.

a time.

Baiguan's mind immediately became active.

After all, Lichu is a major event, and it also has a profound impact on them.
