Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 208 Who will the prince choose?

After several officials managed to play themselves to death.

Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Since you all hope that I will die soon, let's talk today about who will be the prince?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace looked at each other.

In such a situation, is there still a need to choose the position of prince?

The Taiwei and the imperial censor raised their heads, unable to see Ying Zheng's expression.

I can only say carefully.

"The position of prince shall be succeeded by the eldest son according to the old law."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

The Taiwei and others trembled inwardly. Could it be that His Majesty has other ideas?

At this time, Li Si suddenly took a step forward.

"His Majesty!"

"The position of prince should indeed be assumed by the eldest son."

"However, the young master is too kind after all, and he is still young. He is only fourteen years old now."

"Wei Chen thinks that we should wait for the eldest son to return to the court and practice for some time."

Li Si looked up at the First Emperor and said carefully.

"After the crowning ceremony, I will be crowned the crown prince!"

As soon as Li Si said this, the ministers in the palace immediately started talking to each other again.

With the lesson just learned, they would no longer think that Li Si would confront His Majesty.

"What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"

"Is it possible that His Majesty doesn't like the eldest son?"

"Your Majesty wants to delay the crown prince's succession to the throne, so he can raise his children?"

Such a sudden change of direction made all the ministers in the DPRK and Central Government frightened.

Someone said directly.

"No, Your Majesty! Abolition of the elders and establishment of younger ones is the way to create chaos!"

But some people looked at each other and remained silent.

Originally, they were happy to see Ying Xuan succeed to the throne. After all, the eldest son's reputation for kindness and kindness was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But since the incident with the old nobles, they found that something seemed wrong. The eldest son was too strong.

In the court, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Zhao Gao and the powerful officials were almost all people close to him. They took the lead in the destruction of the old aristocracy when they were not in Xianyang.

If he succeeds to the throne, there will probably be another First Emperor alive.

Moreover, these people who followed the First Emperor to conquer the world had no merit or hard work in front of him.

This is not a good thing for some interest groups.

The censor doctor was one of the silent ones.

At this moment, the Taiwei couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing what the First Emperor meant.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"This scene reminds me of Prime Minister Lu!"

As soon as the words came out, Li Si's eyes suddenly widened.

Damn it, why did I forget this?

Back then, Lu Buwei used His Majesty's age as the reason.

The constant postponement of the handover of power is almost exactly what he said.

Li Si immediately lowered his head.

"Your Majesty! I don't dare. I'm just afraid that the young master has too little experience."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Si wanted to slap himself twice.

Isn’t this also what Lu Buwei said at that time?
Just when he thought the First Emperor was going to be angry.

Ying Zheng said expressionlessly.

"Nothing! I came here like this back then!"

"Then just obey the Prime Minister,"

At this time, the Taiwei and others on the side were also puzzled.

What happened to the Prime Minister today?Are you just being stupid and irritating His Majesty non-stop?

But His Majesty still doesn't fall out?
This scene is becoming increasingly difficult for everyone to understand.

At this time, the First Emperor suddenly turned his head and shouted.

"Zhao Gao! Did you hear what the Prime Minister said?"

Zhao Gao walked out almost immediately.

"Reply to Your Majesty! I heard it with my own ears and will pass it on to the eldest son word for word!"

After the words fell, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si with a smile on his face.

Li Si felt panicked when he saw it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gao said.

"But! Before that, I have something to report!"

Shi Huang frowned.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Zhao Gao smiled respectfully.

"I, Da Qin, have made the latest territory map."

"If your Majesty allows it, can it be displayed in this hall and let all the ministers see if there are any mistakes?"

Ying Zheng didn't pay attention and said with a wave of his hand.

"Then bring it with you!"

The voice is finished.

Zhao Gao waved his hand.

Eight people came outside the hall, carrying a cylinder two people high and rolled with silk.

Eight people walked to the stage of the First Emperor.

Carefully unfold this beautifully embroidered map bit by bit.

Although the ministers were puzzled, they still came forward to watch.

Zhao Gao raised the corners of his mouth.

"You guys should take a good look."

"Your Majesty has a decree. If there is no problem, this map will be distributed to the world, so that all the people of our country can know how big the territory of our country is!"

Almost immediately after the words fell, someone exclaimed.

"This is wrong! This is wrong! The Yuezhi has been classified as the territory of our Great Qin!"

"And here!"

"I remember, this is the land of Xiou and Tuoyue."

"Zhao Gao, as the official of the CRRC, how could you be so careless? You can't even tell the difference between our country and the Qin Dynasty!"

But at this moment, Ying Zheng suddenly shouted coldly.

"Is it that he can't tell the difference, or you can't tell the difference?"

"Look what you have been doing for the rest of the month?"

"If you were at all focused on political affairs, how could you not have discovered that all the grain and grass from Longxi County, Beidi County are gathering in Fuping!"

"Our Great Qin's 30 soldiers have already defeated the Yueshi!"

"You guys haven't gotten the news yet."

The expressions of the ministers suddenly froze. For the rest of the month, they were all frightened and choosing sides. They had no intention of checking the details of the border.

If it could be discovered, I'm afraid he wouldn't really think that His Majesty was dead.

No one expected that His Majesty would perform such a feat while pretending to be ill.

At this time, Li Si said with a surprised look.

"Where are Xiou and Tuoyue?"

"Is it possible that after Master Chang captured South Vietnam, he conquered such a wide area?"

After the words fell, all the ministers hurriedly looked down.

Sure enough, there were two extra large areas there.

Zhao Gao chuckled.

"That's right! From now on, there will no longer be distinctions between Nanyue, Xiou and Tuoyue!"

"There are only Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiang County in Great Qin!"

"The 28 troops under the command of the eldest son are almost victorious in every battle."

Zhao Gao's words made all the ministers freeze on the spot.

Didn’t they just take over South Vietnam last time?

How long had it been before the entire Baiyue was gone?

The eldest son actually has such ability to command troops!

They looked at each other again. If this was the case, wouldn't these three counties in the south be completely within the eldest son's sphere of influence?
And there are a total of 28 troops!

If he has different intentions, I'm afraid even the imperial court won't be able to do anything about the eldest son.

At this moment, Zhao Gao continued to add fuel to the fire.

"I also heard that the people of Jiujiang County almost blindly worship the eldest son."

"During the time when the nobles were in trouble and there were rumors of His Majesty's death, they heard that the eldest son was being persecuted by the old nobles."

"Spontaneously traveled throughout the old Chu territory to publicize the eldest son's deeds."

"He also wooed people from other counties to side with the eldest son."

"At that time, there were people from Jiujiang County in Huaiyang, Sichuan, Donghai, Kuaiji, Guzhang, Changsha, Yuzhang, and almost everywhere!"

When Zhao Gao said this, he paused meaningfully.

"Added to Minzhong, Nanhai, Guilin, Xiangjun and other counties that are already under the rule of the eldest son, it seems that it almost occupies a large area of ​​our Daqin!"

After the words fell, not only Zhao Gao, but also all the ministers took a breath.

With such a vast land, such a large population and army!
So if the eldest son cannot inherit the throne, what will happen in the south?
The lieutenant and the others blinked, and the thoughts in their minds became more and more outrageous.

At this time, Li Si, who was stunned, even muttered.

"It is rumored that the eldest son is like a god with troops and has as many powerful generals as a cloud!" "Not to mention Zhang Han, Xiang Yan's grandson Xiang Yu and Wang Jian's son Wang Cheng are all following him and swearing loyalty to the death!"

Ying Zheng also suddenly spoke.

"So what!"

"No matter how great the credit is, he still has to listen to me!"

"It has been decided just now. The position of the prince will be discussed later. Can it be changed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial censor below suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty can't!"

"The eldest son is kind and kind, and he is as capable as a god in using soldiers!"

"You are truly the perfect choice for the crown prince!"

"If you abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, you are creating chaos!"

The lieutenant beside him was suddenly startled.

Why did this guy suddenly become so anxious?

Then he remembered.

Isn't the Kong family's military fiefdom right on the edge of Changsha County?

If the eldest son cannot inherit the position of prince, he will not send troops to the north, but will directly capture the surrounding counties.

When the time comes, the imperial censor will really steal the chicken but lose the rice!

After thinking about this, the Taiwei couldn't help but want to take pleasure in his misfortune.

But he saw the imperial censor looking at him like an idiot.

The Taiwei was stunned for a moment and then remembered that his own fiefdom was in Huaiyang County, wasn't it?

That’s the pension capital he left behind!

The captain's eyes widened immediately and he took a step forward.

"Your Majesty! I give you my best advice!"

"You must not do the ridiculous thing of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones!"

"It's completely nonsense that we need to wait until the age of crown ceremony!"

“There is no young or old in learning, only those who have mastered it come first!”

"With the eldest son's legendary ability to sweep through Baiyue, will he be unable to hold the position of a prince?"

At this time, everyone behind him also reacted.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two dragons in one country.

The eldest son is only 14 years old now, but he is so strong and shows his invincibility.

If there was any negligence in the position of crown prince today, His Majesty would really have appointed him to the youngest son.

There is no way Da Qin is going to cause a big mess!
Suddenly, the entire hall was in chaos.

All the courtiers were blaming Li Si at this moment.

Even the loyal group of Li Si in the past were silent at this moment, quietly watching Li Si being attacked by a group of people.

"What is the difference between this move and Nalu Buwei's control of government affairs!"

"Prime Minister, you have ulterior motives!"

"Your Majesty! You must not listen to the Prime Minister's words, it will completely destroy the foundation of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Today, the position of prince must be reserved for the eldest son!"

Such a scene made Ying Zheng on the stage couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but he still covered it up well.

Said with a cold face.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that that bastard will dare to rebel?"

This sentence seems to confirm that Ying Zheng is dissatisfied with Ying Xuan and wants to establish a child.

The anxious Taiwei suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty! In ancient times, there was a corpse of Bigan who remonstrated with King Zhou! Later in history, there was a corpse of fish that remonstrated with Duke Ling!"

"All loyal ministers cannot be trusted!"

"If you don't decide on the position of crown prince today, you will leave a legacy of disaster!"

"I, Xiangren, will learn from the past and learn from the present, and I will be killed in this Zijin Palace!"

Seeing that the rather old Taiwei was about to hit the pillar.

Several ministers stopped him and cried, urging the First Emperor to change his mind.

Ying Zheng frowned and shouted coldly.

"enough!"

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Ying Zheng pretended to be upset, waved his hand and said.

"Since you want to remonstrate so much, Zhao Gao!"

"Go get some paper and let them choose!"

"If you choose to choose the crown prince in the future, draw a cross. If you choose to choose Ying Xuan as the crown prince today, draw a circle!"

"Draw it!"

The voice fell.

Zhao Gao turned around, took the paper and pen and ink prepared by the maid, and walked towards the audience.

Everyone, led by the captain, almost crowded forward to draw the circle.

The rest of the people followed one by one.

Zhao Gao had sharp eyes and a smile on his face.

It's obviously the same one. Let's see who dares to draw a cross today!

Anyone who draws will be recorded by him, and he will take care of it when the young master comes back!
Just like that, there is not even a stick of incense.

One hundred ministers were selected.

After Zhao Gao's statistics, all those who drew circles actually passed.

When the paper was placed in front of Ying Zheng, he said with an ugly expression.

"Good! Good!"

"You don't agree with anything I want to do!"

"Remember! You chose this prince yourself!"

"If you dare to have other thoughts in the future, I will skin you alive!"

After saying that, Ying Zheng seemed very unhappy and kicked over the heavy desk to express his feelings.

Then he turned around and left the Purple Gold Palace.

Only one sentence remains.

"When that kid comes back, make him the crown prince!"

……

Half an hour later, Shushan Pavilion.

Li Si lowered his head and remained silent.

Ying Zheng looked at the memorial and said calmly.

"I have wronged the Prime Minister just now!"

Li Si replied hurriedly.

"It's all for the future of Da Qin, so it's not a grievance!"

"After all, Your Majesty has just killed an old nobleman. No one dares to object at this time."

"If you push the young master to the position of prince in this way, you will inevitably be criticized in the future."

"But it's different when there are minor ministers making trouble. They took the initiative to ask for the position of prince!"

"No one will find fault anymore!"

Ying Zheng smiled, seemingly satisfied.

But Li Si did cough twice and looked at Zhao Gao.

"Ahem, I just hope that Zhao Fu Ling will not forget to tell the eldest son that I am taking the blame."

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Don't worry, the eldest son will definitely know about the Prime Minister's move!"

Meng Tian and Mengyi on the side also smiled at this moment.

This grand plan not only enabled Da Qin to capture Yuezhi, Xiou, and Tuoyue, but also eliminated hidden dangers in the country, and confirmed the position of the eldest son and crown prince.

In this way, Da Qin and others are really as stable as Mount Tai!

Ying Zheng also said at this moment.

"Although we failed to defeat the Huns this time, we gained a lot. It's time to let that bastard come back."

"Send someone to Baiyue and call him back."

"If you don't come back, your heart will be wild!"

After the words fell, everyone looked at Meng Yi, thinking it was a perfect ending.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yi took a step forward with a stiff expression.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the young master is not in Baiyue!"

Everyone was suddenly startled, where was Baiyue?

Ying Zheng also put down the memorial and said.

"Have you come back early?"

Meng Yi licked his mouth.

"The news this morning is that the young master led an army of hundreds of thousands and headed south to Jiaozhi!"

With a "bang" sound, the desk that had endured the most finally couldn't bear it and completely fell apart.

"What? After winning a few battles, does he think he is invincible?"

"How can we keep up with supplies on such a long journey!"

Ying Zheng stood up, his face furious.

"During my imperial exams, I tested his food and fodder in a separate school just to make him vigilant."

"Hundreds of thousands of troops have crossed the land of Baiyue. The supply line is hundreds of miles long. How can we be invincible if we can't keep up with the food and grass?"

"You bastard, you haven't learned anything from me."

"Send someone immediately to tell him to come back!"
