Chapter 999 In the eyes of Erchen, who is the place to be stored without me!
In this era, bloodline hierarchy was strict, nobles existed, princes and generals were destined to each other, and the gap between the nobles and the mud-legged ones was like a world of difference from hell to heaven.
When a prince from a royal family joins the army, he can inspire the soldiers to work hard and encourage them to fight to the death.
This is an era where a prince from a royal family can win the hearts of the soldiers by joining the army and fighting to the death. In Ying Zheng's view, there are no promises or slogans that are more exciting than the prince of Qin fighting on the front line.
This is a characteristic of an era. As the King of Qin, Ying Zheng will not let this characteristic go without taking advantage of it. He is not such a person.
Just when these words came out, everyone in the study fell silent. No one answered, and there was a brief silence in the study. They all frowned and thought about the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
After all, although Ying Zheng called all the princes, the bias in these words was too obvious. It was obvious that in Ying Zheng's heart, the reason why he established the crown prince was to go eastward and destroy Han.
Not long ago, Ying Gao had just received an errand, that is, to be the commander-in-chief of the extermination of Han Dynasty. Such a strong direction made the officials feel a little panic. At least among the civil servants, except for a few people such as Li Si, they were more inclined to
Fusu.
The next King of Qin will have a gentle personality, rather than being decisive in killing, no less than the current King of Qin.
Because in his opinion, even if the Qin Dynasty annexes the Six Kingdoms, countless years of war will bring unprecedented trauma to the Central Plains, and the trauma caused by the war will take time to heal.
Therefore, it is best for the next King of Qin to be a king who follows the king's will and can rule the world.
It's just that the Qin Dynasty is now in its prime. Although the ministers have their own preferences, they are just partial and have no clear line.
They are all weighing whether to offend Ying Gao or even Ying Zheng for Fusu. After all, judging from the current situation, the possibility of Ying Gao ascending to the throne of Qin in the future is far greater than that of Fusu.
Everyone is self-interested.
The same applies even to them who have become outstanding figures in the world and important ministers of the Qin Dynasty.
Seeing everyone's silence, Ying Zheng smiled. Since he mentioned this topic, he naturally expected the scene in front of him.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ying Zheng cast his eyes on Fusu and said in a faint tone: "Fusu, you are the eldest son of Da Qin and Gu's eldest son. What do you think of the establishment of a crown prince?"
As soon as Ying Zheng said this, everyone in the study was shocked. This was too straightforward. Seeing that the officials did not speak, they directly pointed the question at the person involved.
Li Si and others all knew that the choice for the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty was only between the eldest son Fusu and Ying Gao. As for General Lu and others, they were just running with him.
"Father, son and minister..."
Fusu was also stunned when Ying Zheng suddenly spoke. He never imagined that Ying Zheng would let him speak first. For a moment, he was shocked and didn't know how to speak.
Taking a sip of tea, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth. Qin Wangzheng acted like a master. When he asked this question, even if Fusu had the answer in his mind, he couldn't tell it.
In fact, Ying Gao was also a little curious, and he also wanted to hear what Fusu would say.
"My son..."
At this moment, everyone's eyes in the study were focused on Fusu, which made Fusu's pressure even heavier. As a result, he became more and more anxious and wanted to speak out, but was even less able to speak out.
Seeing Fusu's embarrassed look, Ying Gao became anxious for him.
This question is easy to answer, but at the same time it is difficult to answer. The key depends on who answers the question.
Several eyes fell on Fusu, and Fusu was under a mountain of pressure. One of them, in particular, was as sharp as a knife, and it made him feel like a light on his back, but he knew in his heart that he could no longer drag it on.
In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, I think that the matter of establishing the heir will be decided by the father's words."
"..."
There is nothing wrong with this sentence!
It’s quite satisfactory!
But just because it was quite satisfactory, it also meant that there was nothing outstanding about this sentence. The ministers behaved differently, but Ying Gao could see that Ying Zheng was not satisfied.
Ying Zheng has always had great expectations and high hopes for Fusu. Even though Ying Gao rose up against the sky later, in Ying Zheng's heart, the position of heir has always been Fusu.
Even though Ying Gao was granted the title of Lord and Marquis, Ying Zheng still gave Fu Su a chance.
There was a hint of disappointment in his sharp eyes. At this moment, Ying Zheng looked away from Fusu, fell on Ying Gao, and said to Ying Gao.
"What about you? Do you think the same as your elder brother?"
Facing Ying Zheng's gaze, Ying Gao put down the tea cup in his hand for the first time. This was really a disaster for himself.
However, it was not that Ying Gao did not expect this scene. From the moment Ying Zheng asked Fu Su, he knew that he would be the next one.
At this moment, Li Si and others also looked over. They all knew that the battle for the crown prince in Great Qin was between Ying Gao and Fu Su. Fu Su had already given the answer, and they wanted to see what Ying Gao had to say.
Even Fusu had the same idea.
"Father, the position of Crown Prince is half-king of the Qin Dynasty. From the perspective of my sons and ministers, who else should I take the throne as the Crown Prince!" Ying Gao cupped his hands towards Ying Zhengyi and said: "To be in charge of a country, to rule all the people, in all directions.
A son-in-law is stronger than an elder brother."
At this point, Ying Gao changed the topic and said solemnly to Ying Zheng: "If the father appoints the eldest brother as the prince, the sons and ministers should obey the father's edict, and the sons and ministers are still willing to shed their lives for the great Qin."
"If the eldest brother is king and can lead the Qin Dynasty to greatness, my sons and ministers will be willing to assist me. If my eldest brother is incompetent, my sons and ministers will take his place!"
His words exuded a fierce evil aura. It was obvious that Ying Gao had never thought of being willing to accept people's wishes.
Ying Gao's domineering and self-confidence were incomparable to Fusu's, but precisely because of this, Ying Zheng was hesitant and unable to make a decision.
In terms of ruthlessness, decisiveness in killing, and talent and strategy, Ying Gao is not inferior to him at all. Ying Gao is simply a more murderous person.
Ying Zheng knew in his heart that the Qin Dynasty did not need the same king, but some things were already on the string and had to be taken action, just like when King Huiwen chose King Wu as his crown prince.
Not only was he the legitimate son, but also because of King Wu's outstanding military exploits, he gained the support of the military officers and members of the clan with the surname Ying. This was something King Huiwen could not change.
At this moment, Ying Gao also has such a general trend, and even Ying Gao's momentum far exceeds that of King Huiwen. Even in the Great Qin Dynasty, and even throughout the history of China, there has never been a king who made such a decision in his youth.
