Chapter 67 The Crown Prince of Qin is Confirmed
Ying Zheng continued:
"At first I thought that maybe Fusu died young?"
"Or some other circumstances caused him to be unable to inherit the throne."
"The Second Emperor of Qin was extremely incompetent, which led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty!"
"But now what does the sky dome say?"
"They said Fusu committed suicide!"
"Fusu, including my most trusted general Meng Tian, were ordered by me to commit suicide!"
"Do you think this is possible?"
"Will I order Fusu to make Meng Tian commit suicide?"
The ministers below were all shaking their heads desperately.
However, they shook their heads not because they were forced to tell lies against their will due to the power of Ying Zheng.
It is because as an emperor who unified the world, Ying Zheng almost never killed his meritorious officials.
During the process of unification of the Qin Dynasty, most of the meritorious officials were given high positions and generous salaries and were given important positions.
Even Li Xin, who had made a serious mistake, was standing well in the court.
Many ministers knew that Ying Zheng was not the kind of person who would easily force his subordinates to death.
He saw that all the ministers on his left and right were shaking their heads.
Ying Zheng said slowly but majestically:
"Seeing the death of the Second Emperor of Qin makes me angry!"
"But thanks to Tianmu, the key problem was pointed out!"
"That means not only did Fusu fail to inherit the throne smoothly!"
"I was even framed!"
"In my name, I order him and Meng Tian to commit suicide!"
"And this is the root cause of the collapse of my Great Qin!"
"You should know that the system of our Great Qin, which has been passed down from the six generations of the Qin Dynasty, can be said to be very perfect."
"Under the rule of our Great Qin, the people of the world will no longer have to suffer the ravages of war as they did when many heroes rose up."
"He should be living a happy life."
"The heir I have chosen, Fusu, is even more of a wise man!"
"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are two thieves. They even have to use Fusu's name to rebel!"
"Fusu inherited well."
"The problem is that Fusu is not the successor."
"It's a certain conspirator."
When he said this, Ying Zheng's majestic gaze swept across the scene.
From Li Si, the head of all officials, to other princes represented by Hu Hai.
Wherever Ying Zheng's gaze swept across, the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Ying Zheng at all.
Ying Zheng said coldly: "I will investigate this matter."
Even those ministers who had nothing to do with the position of crown prince felt uneasy after hearing what Ying Zheng said.
And at this time Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si!
I was panicking but also somewhat relieved.
Because although under the instigation of Zhao Gao, Hu Hai took the initiative to contact Li Si and expressed his desire to make progress.
And Li Si did not refuse.
This actually means an acceptance, but the establishment of this alliance is only a beginning and no actual action has been taken yet.
He didn't even have time to do the most basic things like gaining favor in front of Ying Zheng and slandering Fusu.
Not to mention, the kind of false imperial edict that Tianmu mentioned.
Li Si said silently in his heart: It seems that the position of the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty must go to Fusu.
Think of this.
Li Si no longer cared about Hu Hai.
Anyway, he hadn't agreed before, but he didn't refuse either.
As the head of all officials, Li Si stood up amid the earnest expectations of his colleagues and once again gave advice to Qin Shihuang Yingzheng:
"Your Majesty! The crown prince has always been the foundation of a country."
"But our Great Qin has never officially appointed a crown prince."
"As Tianmu said, there were indeed some problems with the succession of the Qin Dynasty in later generations, which led to the possibility that the Qin Dynasty would perish in the second generation."
"Now that the sky has given us revelations, we must correct them in time."
"Your Majesty, please appoint Prince Fusu as the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Li Si took the lead, the surrounding officials responded one after another.
Even Zhao Gao and Hu Hai saw the current situation clearly and actively responded and joined in the shouting.
And this was what Ying Zheng had originally planned.
Now with the revelation from heaven, he naturally no longer hesitated and decided to formally enthrone Fusu as the crown prince.
"Announce to the world, from today on, Prince Fusu officially becomes the crown prince of the Great Qin, and he will never be replaced!"
After announcing this order, Ying Zheng thought to himself:
Since Prince Fusu has always been known for his wisdom among the people, let Fusu be confirmed as the crown prince of Qin.
This will not only consolidate the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, but also ease the resentment among the people.
……
After all, although Ying Zheng was confident, can we say that he was completely unaware of the resistance among the people?
That is of course impossible.
After all, even in the capital Xianyang, Ying Zheng had been assassinated.
Ying Zheng knew that his conquest of the six kingdoms had caused a lot of hatred.
This kind of hatred cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.
I can only hope that it will fade away with time.
After doing these things, Ying Zheng felt a lot more comfortable.
At the same time, he also felt that his Great Qin Empire had become much more stable.
As for the story on the sky curtain about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang distorting the laws of the Qin Dynasty and deceiving other soldiers that they would be beheaded?
Ying Zheng thought it was nothing.
After all, Ying Zheng also knew that most ordinary people did not understand the laws of the Qin Dynasty at all.
Rebels like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang could make up stories at will without worrying about being exposed.
"Now, the succession issue of the Qin Dynasty has been resolved, and the foundation of the country has been consolidated."
"Next, I hope that the sky curtain can give me inspiration so that I can obtain the elixir of immortality!"
"I still have so much to do."
"The requirements for immortality are not high."
……
A new day, a new sky appears.
Above the sky, I saw several people walking hurriedly towards the city gate.
Want to get out of town.
But he was stopped by the guards.
[Guard: Stop, it's already 8pm, the city gates are closed, no one is allowed to leave the city! ]
[Male lead: We have an emergency, please let us out! We are only three minutes overdue, please be flexible, big brother guard.]
[The guard said arrogantly: No, the rules are the rules, the city gates cannot be opened before the time comes! ]
[Male lead: What time does the city gate open? ]
[Guard: It doesn't matter what time it is. The city gates will be opened when the rooster crows. This is the rule left by the city lord.]
……
The male protagonist and his group on the sky curtain are in a hurry to go out.
Now I can’t go out because the rooster doesn’t crow.
They were all very anxious.
The male protagonist suddenly had an idea and imitated the crowing of a rooster twice in front of the guards.
【Cuckoo! Cuckoo!】
【Cuckoo! Cuckoo!】
The male protagonist tried to get away with it, but was slapped in the face by the guard.
[You are crowing like a rooster? Are you thinking that the soldier who opened the door is stupid? ]
Just as a group of people were anxiously walking around.
There was a noise coming from across the street behind me.
Turning around, I saw a small building with a sign saying "Yihongyuan".
On the balcony of the small building, several brightly dressed and beautiful women were greeting the passers-by downstairs.
【Come and play, uncles! Come and play, uncles! 】
【Come on, come on... Hehehe, come and play. 】
Hearing these voices, the male protagonist's eyes lit up!
He immediately pointed at Yihongyuan and shouted excitedly.
[Look quickly, listen quickly, the rooster is crowing! ]
