Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 389: Chapter 172: Ying Zheng: Fight All You Want, I Already Have a Better Crown Prince! (3)

Zhao Gao, who served by Ying Zheng’s side, was inwardly pleased to see this.

As a close attendant.

Zhao Gao naturally received the news first.

So he had already informed Hu Hai and urged him to strive for it.

Should the Great King leave the palace, there might be a position to oversee the kingdom; not vying for it now would be foolish.

In the court, whichever prince gains the position to oversee the kingdom, it would be a declaration of their future standing.

Watching Hu Hai speak out.

Wang Wan replied unceremoniously: "Prince Hu Hai, you speak too heavily."

"As an old minister, I’m naturally aware that the Great King will make arrangements upon leaving the palace. However, for the stability of Qin, it is only natural to inquire about the plans."

"After all, the Great King’s departure from the capital is a significant affair."

"If not arranged properly, it would surely lead to chaos."

Hu Hai chuckled: "Father hasn’t spoken yet, and yet the Prime Minister is too anxious."

"Could it be that the Prime Minister wishes to dictate the Great King’s intentions?"

As these words fell.

The old face of Wang Wan changed color.

"How has Hu Hai become so sharp-tongued?"

"He was originally not someone good with words; it seems Zhao Gao taught him beforehand." Wang Wan’s heart sank, filled with anger.

But at this moment.

Ying Zheng raised his hand.

Wang Wan immediately fell silent.

"Once I leave the capital."

"Yu Qing will take the lead, with Prime Minister Wang, Huai Xiang, and the Tingwei assisting in managing state affairs."

"If there are issues which cannot be resolved, you may send them to Yong City for me to review."

"As for matters of minor impact, Yu Qing may make decisions independently, supported by you three ministers." Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Wan and Huai Zhuang exchanged a glance, bearing an expression of disappointment.

Standing at the front, Fusu naturally felt the same.

Whereas Hu Hai inwardly sneered: "Trying to secure the authority to oversee the kingdom for Fusu? Don’t even dream about it."

"My teacher has already instructed me."

"Fusu must never be allowed to oversee the kingdom."

Hu Hai inwardly sneered continuously.

His speaking was not to contend, because Zhao Gao understood that Yu Qing could not win with Hu Hai’s qualifications. If a prince were really to oversee, it’s most likely Fusu.

"Great King."

"I believe that Mr. Fusu has been involved in state affairs for many years and might try managing the court’s affairs."

"Might it be possible for Mr. Fusu to participate in government?" Wang Wan asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this!

Ying Zheng showed a pensive expression, then smiled: "The Prime Minister speaks with reason."

Hearing this sound.

A look of excitement immediately appeared on Wang Wan’s old face.

"Father still intends to nurture me." Fusu was also secretly pleased.

Meanwhile, Hu Hai’s heart sank, and serving beside him, Zhao Gao was also inwardly alarmed.

At this moment.

The eyes of many ministers in the court were also turning toward Fusu. Some ministers who had chosen Hu Hai now displayed expressions of fear and worry.

Involvement in party struggle is a matter of life and death selection.

Choosing wrongly spells death.

"Reporting to the Great King."

"The Eighteenth Prince now also has a unique understanding of state affairs. I propose that Prince Hu Hai also participate in discussions on state matters."

"In this way, it would undoubtedly enhance Prince Hu Hai’s ability in state affairs."

A court official supporting Hu Hai immediately stood up and reported.

"I second this."

Immediately, a group of people stood up.

"I oppose."

"Prince Hu Hai has only recently begun deliberating on state affairs and lacks the seniority of the Eldest Imperial Son, therefore cannot fulfill the role."

"I second this."

"The Eldest Imperial Son alone is sufficient to assist the ministers in governing."

A faction of court officials supporting Fusu stood up to oppose.

At this moment.

The court has turned into a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, endlessly arguing over the discussions of state affairs by the two princes.

One side did not want Fusu alone to handle political affairs, while the other did not want Hu Hai involved.

Relentless arguments.

The entire court was in constant uproar.

The only remaining calm individuals in this court were but a few.

Wang Jian was one, Huan Yi was another.

Yu Liao was another.

Li Si was another.

They quietly watched this grand spectacle of rivalry.

From this, one could tell that apparently unified Great Qin Dynasty Court still had many voices present.

Of course.

Inwardly, Li Si actually wanted to speak out against Fusu participating in governance, but being an official designated by Ying Zheng, he naturally dared not speak out.

"Let them fight, let them all fight."

"While I am here, they fight like this; without me, how far would they go?"

"Fusu, Hu Hai."

"Haha."

"You go ahead and fight, for I already have someone much better suited in mind."

Ying Zheng calmly observed the scene before him.

Ever since discovering that Zhao Feng’s mother was the person he had cherished searching over many years, Ying Zheng decided Zhao Feng and his sister were his children.

Zhao Feng’s excellence had been witnessed by the Qin and the world.

With such a son, should he truly become the Crown Prince one day, he would definitely be able to continue Ying Zheng’s will and keep Qin prosperous continuously.

It was precisely for this reason.

Allowing the two sides of the court to contend aligned more with Ying Zheng’s plans for the future.

After a while.

"Enough."

Ying Zheng softly spoke.

At his voice.

The previously uproarious and chaotic court quickly fell silent.

"Great King, calm yourself."

The ministers all bowed deeply in reverence.

"Fusu, Hu Hai."

"Both shall participate in state affairs discussions, but with only the power to propose; the decision-making power remains with Yu Qing."

"That’s enough."

"Court is dismissed."

Ying Zheng made the final call, and not waiting for the ministers to make any further proposals, stood up and directly left the court hall.

Hearing this final edict.

Wang Wan and others naturally showed expressions of disappointment.

However, the ministers who supported Hu Hai naturally wore looks of delight.

"The victory is not yet determined."

"Prince Hu Hai also has the right to discuss state affairs."

"Wonderful."

Many ministers supporting Hu Hai were overjoyed.

This time, in the struggle, they had won.

"The Great King’s strategy, haha."

Yu Liao somewhat saw through the situation.

Yet, naturally, he would not speak up.
