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

This is completely incomprehensible to the courtiers who have long been accustomed to the diligence of the first emperor.

Just when the courtiers secretly had thoughts, the court meeting, which had been suspended for several days, opened on time again, but for some reason, all the courtiers who attended the meeting felt a little strange, as if this court meeting was very different from the previous court meeting.

The officials stood solemnly, and they didn't smile.

No one was silent.

Li Si and the others closed their eyes even more, as if they didn't know anything about the situation around them, but the eyelids that moved from time to time also revealed the doubts in their hearts.

During this time, there were actually no major events in the imperial court.

The world is also very Xianning.

In addition to not knowing what happened to the First Emperor, the only thing they can think of at the moment is what Hu Hai encountered in the South China Sea, but Hu Hai has been back to Xianyang for a while, and Zhao Tuo has submitted two notes during this period of time.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the first emperor's body?

Baiguan secretly speculated in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face.

I don't know how long it took.

Only the shouts of the confessors were heard from inside the main hall.

"Tend-"

A team of guards composed of Lang Zhong and His Majesty Lang then drove out and guarded His Highness.

Looked at.

The courtiers led by Li Si hurriedly retracted their minds, their faces were solemn, and they walked through the road formed by the guards, and came to His Majesty, that is, under the throne.

At this time, the nine protocol officers arranged by the pawn relayed the summons in the form of 'summons', announcing the arrival of the First Emperor.

All the officials hung their heads and did not dare to look up.

The whole process starts from the 'police' to the end of the 'strike', and when the hundred officials raise their heads, the first emperor has already sat on the throne, at this time the atmosphere in the hall is relatively relaxed, and the hundred officials dare to look at the first emperor boldly, but they have been separated by fifty steps recently, and it is really difficult to see the recent situation of the first emperor.

The main hall, which is usually wide and bright, is dark and gloomy, and there are hundreds of people.

The bells and drums are rising.

The court meeting officially began.

Hundreds of officials took their seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been Emperor for nine years."

All the doors and windows of Xianyang Palace are wide open, and the heavy hall is quite cool in the early summer morning, Yingzheng is wearing a crown belt, and continues to say calmly and majestically: "In the past nine years, the world has been peaceful, and the four seas have been Xianning. ”

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

"Over the years, I have not done much, the martial arts are rebellious, the literature is innocent, the heart is salty, the merits are favored, the cattle and horses are rewarded, the land is enriched, the men are happy, the women are cultivating their careers, everything is orderly, the benefits are all the property, the sun and the moon shine, and the boats are all dying, and they are all dying, so I can't help it."

Baiguan listened respectfully.

This is the first emperor proclaiming his deeds.

With the sentence of 'no virtue, each is safe', the first emperor changed his words, and said solemnly: "However, in the past few days, I have suddenly felt lacking in my body, but I dare not have the slightest carelessness, and the major affairs of the empire are all handled by me, and the public deliberations of each department are also ruled by me. ”

"But after living in Nanshan, I really want to."

"Well, can you?"

"The rivers are reluctant to give up day and night, and the years do not leave blank heads."

"The deceased is like this!"

"In my opinion, this is far from the greatest achievement of the world, the real greatest achievement of the world, when the civilization is established, when the whole day is under the plate, I am old today, but I have to consider the future of the empire."

"Today's dynasty, there is only one thing to discuss."

"Immediate Storage !!"

"The court meeting will not avoid disagreements, but it is okay for the secretaries to say it."

A word fell.

The faces of the hundred officials in the hall changed slightly.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the courtiers proposed to establish the prince, but it was not liked by the first emperor, and after the proposals of Wang Juan, Mao Jiao and other ministers were shelved one after another, the officials gradually did not dare to speak again.

And this time, the first emperor went against the norm and took the initiative to mention the matter of establishing the prince, which shocked the courtiers.

Especially thinking that the court meeting had not been held a few days ago, it made them have some guesses and ideas, but they didn't dare to show it in public, just lowered their heads and made a deep thinking appearance.

Moreover, the matter of establishing a reserve is related to the future of Great Qin, and they cannot be allowed to be cautious.

Then.

The incumbent Zongzheng Yingben opened his mouth and said: "Minister, Yingben dares to ask, the matter of His Majesty's establishment of the prince should be an internal affair of the royal family, why ask the advice of the hundred officials?" The minister thought that His Majesty's proposal was inappropriate. ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said unconcernedly: "The establishment of the prince is indeed a matter of my family, but it is not a matter of the world, so why not let the hundred officials discuss?" ”

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

Ying Ben frowned.

He also wanted to open his mouth to admonish, but was stopped by Yingzheng raising his hand.

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 the demeanor of the first emperor.

The emperor in his forties already had gray hair on his temples, and he also saw the body of the emperor, who had always been majestic, and his shoulders became rickety compared to the past.

The First Emperor is really old.

But even so.

No one dared to underestimate their emperor.

Even if the tiger wolf is old, it is still a tiger wolf after all, and it is far from something they can despise.

And

Does the first emperor really have the heart to establish a prince?

Hundreds of officials have this doubt in their hearts, in the past, the first emperor was very resolute about the matter of the prince, and he didn't talk about it at all, does he really want to establish the prince now?

If they open their mouths and agree to the establishment of the prince, but the First Emperor is only a temptation, will they be hated by the First Emperor if they open their mouths rashly?

There were hundreds of officials in the hall, and none of them dared to speak at this time.

Even Li Si was serious at the moment, and he couldn't guess the thoughts of the first emperor.

Inside the temple.

Hu Hai's expression was full of emotion, and he was full of emotion.

Ji Heng was still right this time.

The father did give birth to the heart of the prince, and he really wanted to establish the prince.

However, he didn't know why the first emperor would say this matter with great fanfare, but since his father did this, he naturally had his father's reason.

It's just that I'm a little lost in my heart.

He knows.

The father has already decided on the candidate in his heart, and the so-called inquiry at the moment is just a formality, thinking of this, Hu Hai also reacted at once.

My father may be using this to test the courtiers.

On the one hand, it is necessary to test the closeness of those ministers in the court to Fusu, and on the other hand, to test the attitude of the courtiers towards the prince, and this matter is decided in public, that is, as long as the prince is finally determined to be Fusu, then these courtiers will at least verbally support Fusu before the meeting.

After that, he made a stumbling block, and he left a mouthful.

A thought.

Hu Hai's expression became even more gloomy.

He felt that he had been too successful as a stepping stone.

There was a long silence.

Doctor servant Zhou Qingchen took the lead in speaking: "Minister, Doctor servant Zhou Qingchen dares to ask, what does Your Majesty think about the selection of the prince?" ”

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

"The great court should not speculate on the intentions." Ying Zheng coldly rejected the temptation.

Zhou Qingchen sat back with a sneering face.

Although the Great Qin Doctor Academy Palace now exists in name only, this official office has not really been removed, but it has no sense of existence compared to the past.

"Minister, Hu Wujing has a performance." Hu Wujing, the civil minister in the west, stood up proudly and said impassionedly: "His Majesty the Emperor swept away the Six Kingdoms, Weijia Hainai, the three emperors of virtue and virtue, the five emperors, the amount of equipment, the same script, the distinction between the noble and the low, the courtesy of men and women, the prudent obedience to the ministry, Ze and cattle and horses, the first emperor of the ages." ”

"However, it is easy to level the sea, but it is difficult to be in the sea."

"The world is in Kyushu, the situation is different, and it is difficult to rule one."

"If Daqin wants to be peaceful, he must stick to the great government, and he can't change his orders overnight, let alone make a coup d'état."

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

"The eldest son is filial piety, and he will be able to adhere to His Majesty's great policies, and the eldest son is generous and kind, and he is known as a benevolent name in Kyushu in the world, and he can also appease the people of the world, and when he implements the rule of the unification of the world, it is more acceptable to all the people and can be more gentle."

"The eldest son is the prince, and it is beneficial to the country and the people."

"The minister suggested that the eldest son be appointed as the prince."

"Your Majesty, please."

Hu Wujing Shi Ran expressed his opinion.

He is a regular man.

Although he is ranked in Jiuqing, the actual authority is not heavy, but the reason why Feng Chang can rank in Jiuqing is actually that he is also a prince, but in the past, Daqin did not set up a prince, and he, the prince, is also in name only, if Daqin establishes a prince, his prince Fu will be different.

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

But he is close to the future prince.

The importance is self-evident.

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

After Hu Wujing's election was made, the hall was still very quiet.

The ministers had 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 prince, but now Fusu has made them a little unable to see clearly and can't see through, which makes them feel a little insecure, and the harshness of the Tingwei Mansion last time makes people even more jealous and panicked.

What made them even more uneasy was that Fusu's work was becoming more and more extreme.

This will undoubtedly add a lot of uncertainty.

Then.

Shi Lu opened his mouth and said, "Minister, Shi Lu seconded the proposal. ”

"The eldest son is resolute and brave, believes in people and fights, is benevolent, has political foresight, and has a righteous character, and today's situation is turbulent, the prince of Great Qin should have a certain degree of decisiveness, and the minister believes that the eldest son is peaceful in the country, stable in the court, and the best candidate for the long rule of the world."

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

Hearing the two 'Jiuqing' speak, many courtiers sitting at the Wenchen table suddenly paid attention.

They did not dare to speak first, but as long as someone opened their mouths, and His Majesty did not blame, then the situation of this great discussion will be clear.

Your Majesty really has the heart to establish a reserve.

Time.

The minds of the hundred officials immediately became active.

After all, the matter is very important, and it has a far-reaching impact on them.
