Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 299 The evil wind can't help, the country is in trouble! (seeking subscription)

The hall was silent.

Everyone's expressions changed.

They never imagined that Zixiang would be so bold as to try to lead this matter to the emperor's family, and what he said was very abrupt. They looked at Zixiang suspiciously, and their suspicions arose in their hearts when they heard such divisive words .

There is no one in the hall.

Even Confucian scholars dare not respond.

The Confucian scholars looked at the emperor's seat anxiously, and did not dare to speak at all. Their expressions were extremely nervous. They were obviously not prepared for Zixiang's words.

the other side.

The princes also looked uneasy.

Although today is a big banquet for the officials, they also know in their hearts that this is actually to celebrate the birthday of the father, so they all attended the table, and when they were suddenly pointed out, their expressions could not help but change drastically, and their expressions became extremely reserved, and even The young master lowered his head directly.

I dare not speak at all.

The whole hall was as quiet as death.

At first Li Si wanted to speak, but after hearing Zixiang's words, he also resolutely kept his mouth shut, but his eyes on Confucianism became colder and colder. Confucianism's open provocation again and again made him even more impatient with Confucianism.

He closed his eyes slightly and looked at Confucianism coldly.

A thought came to mind.

Yingzheng glanced at Zixiang with his eyes narrowed, then looked at the restless young masters, and said calmly: "Whoever wants to speak can speak, there is no need to be afraid."

Young Master Gao, Jiang Lu and the others looked at each other with wry smiles in their eyes.

They were not prepared at all.

even.

They haven't thought about it before, and suddenly they are asked to answer, how can they answer it?
And
In front of all the court officials, if the words are inappropriate, it will not only insult the royal family's prestige, but also cause trouble to the father. Even if they really have some thoughts in their hearts, they will never dare to speak lightly at this time.

There was dead silence.

All the sons bowed their heads and said nothing.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

At this time.

Zixiang bit the bullet and continued: "Your Majesty, the eldest son is now far away in Sishui County. The eldest son should also express his views on the discussion of enfeoffment and the system of counties and counties. I believe that we should wait for the eldest son to return to Xianyang before discussing the peace of the princes." County system."

"Your Majesty, please be aware."

A word fell.

The hall became even quieter.

These words are like the autumn wind passing through the forest, and the whole hall is chilled to death.

Everyone opened their mouths in astonishment, but they didn't dare to make any sound.

They knew that Zixiang had passed the fire!
It's just that they couldn't figure out why Zixiang insisted on bringing up the system of feudal lords. Now that the world has been settled, there is no need to discuss it at all, and he insisted on involving His Majesty's children. They couldn't figure out what kind of selfishness was hidden in it.

But there is no doubt that Zixiang's words will definitely anger Shihuang.

Because it has blatantly involved the royal family.

Ever since Cheng Xun defected, the first emperor had been extremely disgusted by people mentioning the royal family affairs. Now Zixiang not only mentioned it, but also attempted to involve all the princes in it. This will definitely be hated by the first emperor.

What exactly does Confucianism want to do?
Zixiang still maintained the gesture of bowing his hands.

But the cold sweat on his forehead could not stop streaming down. He had mustered up a lot of courage to say these words. He was betting that the first emperor would not turn his face on the spot, and that the first emperor would not directly attack him. Confucianism asks guilt.

Kong Yu stared at Zixiang in a daze.

His complexion has changed drastically.

He also never expected that Zixiang would be so daring. It was already a taboo to lead to the first emperor's son, and now he even mentions the eldest son. If his words are a little careless, people may misunderstand the idea of ​​the eldest son. , that would be against the eldest son.

The other Confucian scholars also looked like they had seen a ghost.

They even moved their body subconsciously, wanting to distance themselves from Zixiang, so as not to be implicated by Zixiang in the future. Zixiang's words were so crazy that they felt scared.

The hall was dead silent.

No one dared to speak again.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Shihuang.

They all wanted to know how Shihuang would react, whether he would directly convict Zixiang, choose to ignore it, or really discuss it later?
"Do you have any objections?" Ying Zheng's question seemed to float from the sky, without any emotion, it was calm and frightening.

None of the officials dared to respond.

I dare not go back.

It's about the emperor's family affairs, how can they be allowed to intervene?
Sudden.

Ying Zheng laughed and stood up.

He looked at Zixiang condescendingly, and said coldly: "Since you are dissatisfied with the Great Qin's governance system, and you think that you should hear the suggestions of the princes, then I will allow you once. I also want to hear it. These princes of mine are right What is your view on the Daqin governance style?"

"Come here, draw up an imperial edict."

"Master Xuan Chang helps Su to return to court!"

Done.

Ying Zheng stepped off the high platform and went straight out of Zhangtai Palace.

All the officials bowed to see them off.

When Ying Zheng left, the eyes of all the officials suddenly turned gloomy. They looked at Zixiang gloomyly, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their minds. I can't help it, the country is in trouble, and the court is hard to be peaceful!"

"Good!" All the officials shouted in unison.

The doctors were dead silent, and no one tried to speak.

When all the officials left the scene one after another, Dr. Zhu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with lingering fear, and complained. Shusun Tongdao said, "Zixiang, what are you doing? If I had known that you said this, I would never have said that in front of you." Attack China."

"You clearly want to kill us!"

Bao Bailingzhi also complained: "Brother Zixiang, it's not that I'm ruthless, it's that your words are too much, and you have such words, why don't you discuss it with us? Now it's dragging us all down. "

"You have hurt us!"

Other Confucian scholars also accused him one after another.

Zixiang stood quietly on the ground without any rebuttal. After the others left, his legs softened and he sat down on the ground. Kong Yu walked over with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes. With such a look, thousands of complaints turned into a sigh.

Zixiang said: "Brother, are you blaming me too?"

Kong Yu said with gloomy eyes: "Zixiang, we are delaying time, not letting my Confucianism die. What you said not only offended the first emperor, but also offended the eldest son. From then on, my Confucianism will be difficult to move forward in the court. You are clearly wiser than me, why would you do such a stupid act?"

Zixiang shook his head and said:
"Brother, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet."

"The imperial court no longer tolerates my Confucianism. If I don't provoke trouble, not only will I not be able to stop it, but the imperial court may even send people to strictly investigate my Confucianism. During this period, my Confucianism seems to be low-key, but in fact it has done a lot of things secretly. The matter can be found out by the imperial court.”

"My move is not to harm Confucianism, but to preserve Confucianism."

"I know what my brother thinks."

"Brother thinks that the imperial court will not rashly investigate Confucianism, but what if?"

"My Confucianism cannot afford this 'what if'!"

Kong Yu was silent.

Zixiang continued: "My Confucianism is already openly provoking this time. If I don't do everything right, not only will I fail to achieve my goal, but it may even cause my Confucianism to lose its foothold. If I didn't take this into consideration, why should I say something about my strengths?" Son?"

"My Confucianism cannot be investigated right now."

"Once we are investigated, we will definitely find out our connection with the nobles of the six countries. At that time, the nobles of the six countries in the city will not be spared without exception. At that time, the nobles of the six countries and the Qin court will attack together. How will my Confucianism resist? live?"

"My Confucianism is destined to break with Qin Ting."

"Since that's the case, then it's easier to break up."

"What we are trying to protect now is the private school. What we are trying to maintain is the relationship with the nobles of the six countries. It is not to maintain the face of the Qin court, let alone maintain the friendship with the eldest son. Why can't brother see the choice?"

"I know that my actions are very bold. If I am not careful, my Confucianism will be destroyed forever, but we have no choice."

"Firstly, we have to cover up our private education, and secondly, we have to cover up our connection with the nobles of the six countries. All of these need time to do it. What we lack now is time. If we don't drag the eldest son into trouble, this discussion will come to an abrupt end , and will never cause controversy again in the future.”

"We can only go one way to the end!"

heard.

Kong Yu could only sigh a long time, and said with a desolate expression: "My Confucianism has declined to such an extent. If the ancestors know that I can't protect Confucianism, I don't know how to blame us."

"Ugh."

"It's all for brother's incompetence."

Zixiang shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with elder brother, the general trend of the world is so, how can elder brother go against the sky? Although we are against the court at present, we have won a lot of time. It will take some time for the eldest son to return to the court. We need to hurry up and get some tough things out of the way."

"I'm sure."

"It won't be long before Li Si will attack us. Li Si is a very thoughtful person. It's okay not to say anything. If he speaks out, it will be a shocking move. We have to guard against it. If Li Si didn't speak out this time, it wouldn't be possible to develop into the world at all. this."

"We don't have much time left!"

Kong Yu hesitated for a while, and said puzzledly: "Since you are so afraid of Li Si, and Li Si has a high position and authority, don't you worry about it. Did he send someone to investigate in private?"

Zixiang shook his head.

Said:

"Li Si is a very good mediator."

"Before the first emperor made a clear statement, he would not make arbitrarily claim to investigate. In Legalism, 'the king is supreme', and Li Si is the head of all officials. He has only taken over the post of prime minister not long ago, so he will not touch such unknowns rashly. thing."

"And Confucianism and Legalism are not right."

"It's easy for Li Si to investigate in private. Li Si won't take the risk."

"As for other officials, even if they have intentions, the power they can mobilize privately is limited. Our Confucianists only need to take precautions, and basically nothing major will happen. However, there are no absolutes. During this period of time, we still need to be cautious."

Kong Yu nodded and said, "I see."

Zixiang put his hands on the ground and slowly stood up from the ground, his body was still a little weak.

He smiled wryly.

Until this time, he did not know what an important minister of the empire is, and what is an unpredictable monarch. The words and deeds of such a person carry great power, which makes his heart tremble.

With Kong Yu's support, the two brothers left Zhangtai Palace.

in the night.

In the imperial city, a small figure was tiptoeing towards a palace, but within a few steps into the imperial city, it ran into a tall man head-on.

A silly smile appeared on Ying Yinman's face, and she said cautiously, "Father." Then she rolled her eyes and said, "The weather is fine today."

Ying Zheng snorted, and said calmly, "Going to your brother's place again?"
