The whole hall was silent.

Everyone's expressions changed.

They never expected that Zixiang would be so bold and try to lead the matter to the emperor's family garden, and what he said was very abrupt. They looked at Zixiang suspiciously, and became suspicious of such divisive words.

.

No one in the palace agreed.

Even Confucian scholars dared not respond.

The Confucian scholars looked at the throne anxiously, not daring to speak at all. Their expressions were extremely nervous. They were obviously not prepared for Zixiang's words.

the other side.

All the young masters also looked uneasy.

Although it was a grand banquet for the officials today, they also knew in their hearts that this was actually to celebrate the birthday of their father, so they were all seated at the table. When someone suddenly called them, their expressions changed greatly, and their expressions became extremely cautious, and even

The young master actually lowered his head.

I dare not speak at all.

The whole hall was as quiet as death.

At first Li Si wanted to speak, but when he heard Zixiang's words later, he resolutely kept silent. However, his eyes turned colder to Confucian. Confucian's blatant provocations again and again made him more and more impatient with Confucian.

He closed his eyes slightly and looked at Confucian coldly.

An idea came into my mind.

Ying Zheng glanced at Zi Xiang with slightly condensed eyes, then looked at the uneasy young masters beside him, and said calmly: "Those who wish to speak can speak without any scruples."

Young Master Gao, Jiang Lu and others looked at each other with a wry smile in his eyes.

They had no preparation at all.

even.

They have never thought about it before, and if they are suddenly asked to answer, how can they answer it?

and......

In front of all the officials of the imperial court, if they speak inappropriately, it will not only insult the royal family's reputation, but also cause trouble for their 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 around.

All the young men bowed their heads and said nothing.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

At this time.

Zixiang gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty, the eldest son is far away in Sishui County. The eldest son should also express his opinion on the discussion on 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 between the princes and the feudal lords."

County system."

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

One word fell.

The hall became quieter.

These words were like the autumn wind passing through the forest, and the whole hall was filled with silence.

Everyone opened their mouths in shock, but did not dare to make any sound.

They knew that Zixiang had gone too far!

It's just that they couldn't figure out why Zixiang insisted on mentioning the vassal system. Now that the world has been decided, there is no need to discuss it at all. Moreover, he insisted on involving His Majesty's children. What kind of selfish motives were hidden in it? They couldn't figure it out for a moment.

But there is no doubt that these words of Zixiang will definitely anger the First Emperor.

Because this has openly involved the royal family.

Ever since the First Emperor defected, he was very disgusted with anyone mentioning the internal affairs of the royal family. Now Zixiang not only mentioned it, but also tried to involve all the princes in it. This will definitely be hated by the First Emperor.

What exactly do Confucians want to do?

Zixiang still kept his hands bowed.

But the cold sweat on his forehead was unstoppable. He had mustered up great courage to say these words. He was betting that the First Emperor would not turn against him on the spot, and that the First Emperor would not directly attack him.

Confucianism questions guilt.

Kong Yu looked at Zixiang blankly.

His face has changed drastically.

He also didn't expect that Zixiang would be so bold. He had already violated the taboo of leading the First Emperor's children, and now he would mention the eldest son. If he was not careful with his words, he might be misunderstood as the idea of ​​​​the eldest son.

, that would cause trouble with the eldest son.

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

They even moved their bodies subconsciously, trying 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 main hall was dead silent.

No one dared to speak anymore.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the First Emperor.

They all wanted to know how the First Emperor would react, whether to directly convict Zixiang, choose to ignore it, or really allow it to be discussed later.

"Do you have any objections, sir?" Ying Zheng's question seemed to come from the sky, without any emotions mixed in, and it was so calm that it was scary.

No one dared to respond.

I really don't dare to go back.

How can they be allowed to interfere when it concerns the emperor's family affairs?

Sudden.

Ying Zheng laughed and stood up.

He looked down at Zixiang and said coldly: "Since you are dissatisfied with the way the Qin Dynasty is governed, and you think you should hear the suggestions of the young masters, then I will give you permission once. I also want to hear what these young masters of mine think about it.

What do you think of the Qin Dynasty’s style of governance?”

"Come here and prepare an edict."

"Master Xuanzang helps Su return to the court!"

Finished.

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

All the officials bowed to see him off.

When Ying Zheng left, the eyes of the officials suddenly turned cold. They looked at Zixiang gloomily, wondering what they were thinking in their minds. After a long time, Li Si said in a cold voice: "When you go in, you will feel wrong, and when you go out, you will talk in the street. Such evil atmosphere

I can’t help but think that the country is in trouble and the court is in trouble!”

"Good!" All the officials shouted in unison.

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

When all the officials left one after another, all the doctors wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with lingering fear and complained. Uncle Sun said: "Zixiang, what are you doing? If I had known that you said this, I would never have said this.

Attack the Central Government."

"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 all of us down.

"

"You've hurt us!"

Other Confucian scholars also criticized him.

Zixiang stood quietly on the ground without making any rebuttal. After the others rolled their sleeves and left, his legs softened and he slumped down to the ground. Kong Kun came over with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes, but when he saw Zixiang

With a look on his face, all the complaints turned into a sigh.

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

Kong Yu said with a gloomy look: "Zixiang, we are delaying time, not letting our Confucian family die. Your words not only offended the First Emperor, but also offended the eldest son. From now on, our Confucian family will be unable to move forward in the court.

You are obviously wiser than me, why would you do such a stupid thing?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zixiang shook his head and said:

"Brother, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet."

"The imperial court no longer tolerates my Confucian family. If I don't stir up trouble, not only will it not be able to stop me, the imperial court may even send people to strictly investigate my Confucian family. During this period, my Confucian family seems to be low-key, but in fact, I have done a lot of things secretly. These

The imperial court will be able to find out the matter once it is investigated."

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

"I know what my brother is thinking."
