Chapter 289 Recognizing a Son Also Depends on the Character of the Other Party
On the court.
Qin Shihuang, wearing the emperor's crown, sat at the top, with Zhao Gao beside him.
At the front are Li Si, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Meng Yi.
Below, civil and military officials are on both sides.
Next to him were Chun Yuyue and other doctors.
Standing in the middle is the pig-headed prince.
The officials were also a little surprised, not because of the Grand Prince Koryo.
They have already heard about the compensation.
And it's just a small Goguryeo, if it weren't for Daqin, he wouldn't be able to make a move now.
Already won it.
What surprised them was that Wang Jian and his son, who had already ignored the government, actually came.
What is this for?
All the officials were guessing in their hearts, and soon, everyone was relieved.
Because several princes also appeared on the court.
This is watching politics.
It is to let the prince watch how to deal with the government affairs, so as to prepare for the future.
Everyone was extremely pleasantly surprised that their Majesty is finally going to be the crown prince of the country!
It is actually an extremely dangerous thing for a country to have no crown prince.
Because the successor is not clear, once there is an accident, the harm will even affect the entire country!
So it is not surprising that Wang Jian and his son appeared in the court.
Veterans are always more prudent.
So this time, even though the three princes were watching the government at the same time, the ministers did not dare to say too much.
Soon, the prince of Goguryeo cried and talked about his situation, and at the same time prayed for a reduction in compensation.
The eldest prince was extremely flustered at this time,
This is not the case when talking about compensation normally!
He just felt like a stripped sheep, surrounded by hungry wolves with green eyes.
Only Fusu at the top can give him a little bit of comfort.
If it was normal, the ministers would have already started to speak out, but this time, everyone waited tacitly for the first emperor to speak.
Sure enough, Qin Shihuang quickly said,
"Hai'er, the third prince of Goguryeo entered Daqin without permission and died in the land of Daqin, what do you think?"
Today he was just looking at the final attitudes of a few people. As for Zhao Lang, he already knew it all.
Hearing the question, Hu Hai said almost without hesitation,
"Father, my son thinks that Goguryeo committed a heinous crime and should be punished severely!"
Ever since he knew that the person who killed the other party's third prince was Zhao Lang, Hu Hai's attitude was extremely firm!
He wanted to find a chance to kill the other party, so that he could sell him Brother Lang as a favor.
God knows how difficult it is to sell a favor to Zhao Lang.
Originally, he hoped to sell Ying Yinman to Brother Lang, but the other party seemed to have changed recently.
He dragged her to find Zhao Lang, but she didn't go.
This opportunity is rare now.
Qin Shihuang smiled, because he had already figured out through the servants that Hu Hai beat the eldest prince because of Zhao Lang.
I can't help thinking,
"Sure enough, Lang'er taught me well."
"It's really a good idea to put Hu Hai by Lang'er's side."
Seeing the smile on Qin Shihuang's face, Hu Hai became happier.
Although the father fined him, he beat him.
However, the royal father still has him in his heart.
The eldest prince wanted to speak at this time, but found that no one cared about him, and everyone was waiting for the other princes to speak.
"Gao'er, what about you?"
At this moment, Gao thought for a while, and said,
"According to the laws of our Great Qin Dynasty, it is naturally a crime for other princes to enter the country without authorization."
"But the third prince who entered the country has already died, so there is no need to pursue it too much. The ministers can discuss compensation."
"Daqin will also be able to follow the law in everything in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Gao glanced at Li Si.
He deliberately said it at this time, just to sell Li Si's favor and gain the other party's support.
But he found that the other party didn't look at him at all.
Hearing Gao's words, many members of the Fa family in the court were a little excited.
What a great opportunity for a prince to raise this matter for the Legalists?
As long as Li Si speaks out, they will all follow up and speak directly in the court.
Let the whole Great Qin teach the law and take officials as teachers!
From then on, the Legalist family dominated!
This is the glory of all Fajiamen!
Everyone looked at Li Si, even Qin Shihuang.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Li Si didn't seem to hear it at this time.
In the hall, he didn't move at all.
In the end, Qin Shihuang took the initiative to say,
"Prime Minister, what do you think?"
It was only then that Li Si said,
"Your Majesty, I heard from a senior minister that the law is not a panacea. It is better for your Majesty to discuss with the ministers about compensation from foreign countries."
Hearing this, all the officials were stunned for a moment.
Li Si, the ordinary prime minister, wished that the whole court would be full of legalists!
what is it today?
Gao also froze.
Only Qin Shihuang understood what was going on, and the great talent Li Si talked about was naturally Zhao Lang.
It seems that the other party has really changed his mind.
Qin Shihuang didn't think much about it, and quickly looked at Fusu beside him, and said,
"Su Er, what do you think?"
Fusu had already prepared, and said,
"Father, my son thinks that Goguryeo should not be blamed too much, but should be benevolent, given some money, and comforted."
As soon as the words came out.
Most of the officials in the court were stunned.
Only the pig-headed prince in the middle of the court showed a look of surprise.
Originally, he just wanted the other party to intercede for him, less compensation.
Unexpectedly, the other party directly asked Daqin to give Goguryeo money!
This is simply great joy!
Even if this matter doesn't work out in the end, it's hard for Daqin to ask them for more compensation!
Qin Shihuang's face was also slightly ugly.
Fusu then continued,
"Father, this move is also to show the benevolence of my Great Qin to foreign countries."
"Thus, it will also allow them to go from fighting against my Great Qin to being attached to and admiring my Great Qin!"
"In the long run, foreigners can come to court without spending a single soldier, and Great Qin can also rest!"
Hearing these words, the officials in the court were slightly moved.
They knew about Daqin's situation, and they were indeed exhausted.
At this time, the prince of Goguryeo bowed to the ground and echoed loudly,
"Your Majesty the Great Qin Emperor! I, Goguryeo, would like to serve Great Qin as I serve my father!"
Immediately, everyone looked at Qin Shihuang, no matter what they said.
It is their Majesty who makes the decision.
Although Qin Shihuang was a little annoyed at this time, his face remained calm, and he said to Meng Yi who was beside him,
"Meng Shangqing, your brother is in charge of guarding the northern border, what do you think?"
Meng Yi looked at Prince Goguryeo with disdain, and said loudly,
"Your Majesty, even if you recognize a son, it depends on the character of the other party!"
"Sneaky behavior, accepting him as a son, the minister is worried that the family's things will be stolen in the future."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
(Have a nice weekend!)
