If he is weak, the murderous intention of the First Emperor will be magnified in vain.
Over the years, for the development of the empire, the First Emperor has been deliberately suppressing the tyranny deep in his heart, and then using political means to solve everything.
However, now the First Emperor discovered that someone had been challenging his bottom line.
Maybe some people think that he is old. Over the years, he has been unable to lift Qin Jian.
His thoughts flashed, and the Emperor's expression changed uncertainly. He knew in his heart that this matter must be resolved, otherwise it would be a big trouble.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor will live forever—!" At this time, everyone, led by Wang Jian, walked into Zhangtai Palace and saluted the First Emperor.
"My dear friends, you don't need to be polite, please stay calm!" Seeing the arrival of the four people, the First Emperor finally said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After thanking everyone, everyone sat down one by one. At this time, Wang Wan looked around and saw everyone pretending to be dead. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I wonder why your Majesty summoned you...?"
This time the First Emperor's summons was somewhat unexpected, and there was no sudden incident in the court. Moreover, Zhao Gao was so strict that they knew nothing about it.
The key is that the candidates summoned by the First Emperor this time are somewhat special.
Among them, only Li Si is missing.
You know, Li Si had the same political views as the First Emperor, and he was also the right minister of the empire...
The First Emperor did not hide anything from the three of them. He waved his hand towards Zhao Gao, motioning the servants to leave, and then said in one word.
"You are all important ministers of the empire and my confidants. I think that when I summon you today, you may have some doubts in your heart!"
With sharp eyes passing over everyone, the First Emperor said word by word, "I am summoning you all today for the sake of being the crown prince of the empire!"
When these words came out, it was earth-shattering.
Regarding the imperial prince, most of them only had guesses in their minds, and the one who knew the most was Wang Wan.
At this moment, Wang Wan's expression suddenly changed, and he thought it was the First Emperor who had changed his mind.
After all, they were discussing the issue of the crown prince of the empire, but the teacher of the art of winning and the right minister of the empire was no longer there. This situation was enough to explain a big problem.
At this moment, Wang Wan felt heavy in his heart. He knew in his heart that once the First Emperor changed his mind, the Qin Empire would suffer setbacks.
At this moment, everyone in Zhangtai Palace had different thoughts, but no one expressed them.
Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, the First Emperor also knew that as a minister, it was really difficult to express his position on this matter: "The crown prince of the empire is a major event for the empire!"
"It's even related to the inheritance of the empire!"
"You are all important ministers of the empire. I won't hide it. Heibingtai found that among my descendants, there are some who are ready to make moves and have connections with the old family and the ancestral land!"
"At the same time, there are also connections among the disciples!"
"Although this matter is my family matter, I am the emperor of the empire, and the prince is the next emperor of the empire, and is closely related to the empire."
"Therefore, I want to hear your opinions!"
"Zong Zheng belongs to the royal family, so Zong Zheng comes first!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Weiyang Lord Ying Xi held his hands towards the First Emperor and said, "Your Majesty has eighteen sons. I wonder who your Majesty intends to appoint as your heir apparent?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the First Emperor. They all knew that the key was what it meant to be a prince, and the rest was not important at all.
After taking a sip of tea, the First Emperor took a deep look at everyone and said word by word: "I plan to adopt Yingshu as his heir in the ancestral temple!"
"In the manner of an imperial edict, announce it to the entire empire!"
"My eighteen sons, as well as the heir Yingshu, a kind of nineteen people, plus all the emperors and grandsons, can be selected. Tell me what you think!"
Hearing this, Wang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, the decision made by the original emperor has not changed to this day.
This means that the stability of the Great Qin Empire, as the left prime minister of the empire, Wang Wan is naturally happy to see this happen.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Wang Wan looked at Ying Xi at this moment. He naturally knew that if he wanted to become a prince, the clan's opinion was very important.
In full view of everyone, Ying Xi felt a lot of pressure. After pondering in his heart for a long time, Ying Xi said to the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty, among your eighteen sons, the only one with outstanding talents is the eldest son of the emperor, Fusu!"
"The eldest son of the emperor is quite famous!"
"Your Majesty's heir is the best among all the sons in both civil and military affairs."
At this point, Ying Xi changed the topic and said: "It's just an heir. After all, he does not have the blood of His Majesty, so he is lacking."
"The empire was created by Your Majesty, and it should be inherited by His Majesty's bloodline!"
"Your Majesty's grandsons are all young, and their character and methods cannot be seen. However, I suggest that his heir Yingshu and the eldest son Yingqin of the imperial daughter Yangzi be the heirs!"
"In this way, Ying Qian has His Majesty's blood flowing in his body, which can be explained to the royal family, the ancestral land, and the people of the world!"
"At the same time, having an heir to protect you can also ensure that the empire's inheritance is intact!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in Zhangtai Palace changed. They all knew that to solve this problem, it was best to establish a reserve.
However, establishing a crown prince also means stimulating conflicts all at once. The current Qin Dynasty is not suitable for establishing a crown prince, especially when there are parents and children, and an heir is suddenly established.
This can be said to be unheard of and unseen.
Not only the court, but also the entire empire will be shocked.
After pondering for a long time, Wei Liao spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, what Zong Zheng said is not unreasonable. Taking Ying Qin as the heir apparent is the best choice."
"It's just that the current situation is complicated. For the empire, it is not the time to establish a prince!"
"Moreover, His Majesty's goal from the beginning was not to establish a prince, but to solve the current problems!"
"Instead of sneaking around, you might as well choose an auspicious day to adopt an heir!"
"Adopting an heir will completely clarify Min Jun's inheritance rights, but in this way, the battle for the crown prince will definitely be put on the table."
Wang Wan's eyes flashed with solemnity, and she turned to the First Emperor and Wei Liao and said, "Lieutenant, isn't this action inappropriate?"
Hearing this, Wei Liao smiled and then glanced at Wang Jian. Wang Jian said helplessly, "Prime Minister, you forgot something!"
Seeing the First Emperor, Wang Wan and others all looking over, Wang Jian said word for word: "Back then, Your Majesty made an oath that the king would not establish a queen!"
"There is no queen in the Great Qin Empire today, which means that Your Majesty now has no legitimate sons, or maybe they are all legitimate sons!"
"Once His Majesty adopts Ying Shu as his heir, it will be acknowledgment that Your Majesty has no legitimate son, and Ying Shu will be his legitimate son!"
"This is tantamount to clarifying the title of Lord Min, and at the same time it puts pressure on the princes. However, in the end, the crown prince is not clearly established, and everyone has hope."
"At the same time, His Majesty comes forward and controls it secretly, so that the impact of the dispute over the prince can be minimized!"
