Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 243: Debate in the court, Fusu’s change of mentality!

In this way, Prince Gao was elected as the king, and he also called himself the King of Qin. This sudden change made the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan sigh that Gao Yao was indeed difficult to deal with. Although he still had an absolute advantage at present, he had to admit that Gao Yao's move really gave them a powerful counterattack.

Even though Fusu had been advocating and gaining support for the division of the kings, it did not mean that everyone in the court fully agreed. At least Wang Ben opposed it, only because he was more loyal to the Qin Dynasty and would not go against Fusu's ideas. After all, Wang Jian and Wang Ben were almost involved in the entire process of the conquest of the territories of the six kingdoms. Now, seeing that the land they had worked so hard to conquer was about to be handed over to others, how could they feel good?

Moreover, many ministers in the court could sense that something was wrong, because according to common sense, the Qin State could have used this method only when it could no longer hold on, which would not appear too hasty and would also allow people to see that the Qin State really could not hold on and therefore chose to divide the land. However, the uprising had just occurred and the situation was not too bad, but the Qin State actually directly divided the land among the kings, and even gave away the land before it was even lost.

There were only six countries originally, and now there are ten kings. Isn't this nonsense? However, surprisingly, not only did Prime Minister Li Si agree, but even General Meng Yi did not raise any objections. You know, these two people are important figures in the court, and their attitudes are crucial. In addition, Wang Ben did not object, which means that the three pillars of the court had no objections. Under such circumstances, Fusu's idea of ​​enfeoffment could naturally be implemented smoothly.

But things are not that simple. Now that Gongzi Gao has suddenly ascended the throne in the southern border and proclaimed himself the King of Qin, this is equivalent to giving those loyal to the Qin Dynasty another way out. After all, compared to the weak Fusu, Gongzi Gao obviously has more majesty and domineering power than Qin Shihuang. His appearance undoubtedly brought new variables to the Qin Dynasty and made the situation more complicated.

This means that Gao Yao used this incident to offset his original identity as a rebel, and instead made himself the person who restored order, which in turn influenced the mentality of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say about Prince Gao ascending the throne in the Southern Territory!"

Hearing this, Fusu frowned immediately: "Oh? Meng Yi, tell me!"

"Yes!" Meng Yi clasped his fists and saluted, then said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, although Prince Gao has proclaimed himself king in the southern border, I believe that this is definitely not Prince Gao's original intention. Prince Gao has lived in Xianyang for a long time, and the princes and ministers should all know him. He has a gentle temperament and does not like to fight for fame and fortune. Now he suddenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself king in the southern border, which is obviously unreasonable. In my opinion, Prince Gao's move was not sincere, but was forced by others."

When everyone at the court heard the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's words, many of them nodded in agreement.

Qin Shi Huang frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked: "Then, in your opinion, who forced Gongzi Gao?"

Meng Yi bowed and said, "As far as I know, Master Gao has always lived in seclusion and has not had much contact with the outside world. He suddenly declared himself king this time, probably because he was threatened and lured by some forces, so..."

As the eldest son, Fusu did not know the rest of his brothers very well, but he knew roughly what they said and did. Fusu knew that Prince Gao was a kind and gentle person, and he did not have too many ideas of fighting for power. It can be said that except for being a little closer to Feng Quji because he had received his teachings, he did not have much contact with the court officials. It was doubtful that such a person suddenly claimed to be king.

At this time, the atmosphere in the court became tense. Everyone began to speculate who had forced Prince Gao. Of course, many people had roughly understood who Meng Yi was talking about even without saying anything. After all, it was in the southern border, and all the military and political power in the southern border was in the hands of Gao Yao. And this time, Prince Gao ascended the throne and became emperor, with Prime Minister Feng Quji and General Gao Yao. Needless to say,

"Southern Border, General Zhennan, Gao Yao!" As Meng Yi's voice fell, the entire court was filled with uproar again.

"What? General Gao Yao of Zhennan? How is this possible?"

"Yes, Gao Yao is one of the emperor's most trusted ministers. How could he betray the Qin State?"

"Could it be that Meng Yi deliberately framed Gao Yao because he had a grudge against him?"

"That's impossible. If there is no evidence, how dare Meng Yi say it in the court?"

Many people immediately thought of the conflict between the Meng family and Gao Yao, but more people questioned Meng Yi's words. After all, Gao Yao had always been a trusted minister of Qin Shihuang and was deeply trusted by Qin Shihuang. Moreover, Gao Yao was smart and capable, and acted decisively, which won the praise of the ministers in the court. Therefore, when Meng Yi said that Gao Yao was a traitor, many people found it unbelievable.

However, there are also some people who think that Meng Yi's words are not groundless. The Meng family in the Qin Dynasty, from Meng Wu to Meng Tian, ​​and now Meng Yi, are all people who are deeply trusted by Qin Shihuang and Fusu. If Meng Yi did not have solid evidence, he would never make such an accusation in the court. Therefore, these people began to wonder whether what Meng Yi said was true, and tried to find evidence to support or refute Meng Yi's point of view.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had already anticipated the reactions of the court officials around him. It was normal to have some doubts. It would be abnormal if he had no doubts at all.

"Meng Yi, do you have any evidence for what you said?" Fusu asked gloomily while sitting on the throne. Although he believed Meng Yi, as an emperor, he needed to see evidence before making a decision. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the civil and military officials in the court.

Everyone has weaknesses, even the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. Due to the constant reincarnation and the fact that nothing can be saved, in the eyes of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, everyone in this world, except himself, is more like an NPC in a game. He has almost developed a fixed mindset for these people, thinking that they will only develop according to the established plot.

This naturally includes Fusu. In the previous world, Fusu's ending was always being exiled to the northern border, and then being ordered to die by the people sent by Hu Hai. Even if there were some unexpected circumstances, such as a few days earlier or later, the final result did not change. However, this time Fusu was different from the past. Not only did he survive successfully, he also became the emperor. This huge contrast caused Fusu's mentality to change drastically.
