Chapter 783 Three Emperors with Merit and Demerits, Five Emperors with High Virtues
Upon hearing Wang Ben's question, Wang Jian did not answer immediately, but narrowed his eyes slightly.
These people summoned by His Majesty may not be the strongest, but they are basically the most famous.
He noticed some unusual smells. Suddenly, he thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said,
"You should keep an eye on the city's defense in the past two days. If there is any change, you must report it in time."
Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, then reacted, swallowed directly, and said,
"Father, this..."
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Wang Jian and said,
"Don't think too much about it, it's probably a good thing."
"Good thing?"
Wang Ben showed a confused look at this time.
He is not a mediocre person. The First Emperor summoned these top nobles, and his old father was so nervous about military affairs.
It must have something to do with that seat.
But as long as it's related to that position, generally speaking, nothing good will happen. .
Mutiny and bloodshed are commonplace.
At this time, Wang Jian nodded with a complicated expression and said with some emotion,
"If it's really what I think, then it's really... it's really..."
Wang Jian didn't know how to describe it for a while, and finally said,
"Through his merits and demerits to the three emperors and the five emperors with high virtues, he is the First Emperor. His Majesty is worthy of his name!"
"That's all, don't think too much about it, just keep an eye on the city defense."
Wang Ben looked at his father's sigh and could only nod.
Early the next morning, Wang Jian dressed neatly and went out. There was nothing unusual in the city. It was just an ordinary day.
All the way to the palace, there were attendants waiting.
"Please follow me, Marquis Wu Cheng."
Then I followed the attendants all the way to Qin Shihuang's palace, and saw Li Si and many other old nobles here.
It's just that no one went in, because there were many attendants in Qin Shihuang's palace at this time, carrying tables and chairs that had long been used by the people, coming in and out.
It seemed like they were moving, which made them a little confused.
"Wu Chenghou, you are here too. What's going on today?"
An old nobleman came over at this time and asked in a low voice.
Wang Jian glanced at the other party, but did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he asked,
"How do I know? You have always been very well-informed. You should know."
He didn't believe that these sophisticated nobles didn't have any suspicions in their minds. Moreover, he had just taken a closer look and found that most of the people here were close to Zhao Lang.
Of course, there are also nobles who are at odds with Zhao Lang, but only one or two are the leaders.
There are also many people from the Zhao family named Ying.
It's just that everyone has their own thoughts at this time and want to trick others.
But who is easy to get along with?
So after some mutual testing, everyone fell silent and looked at the people moving chairs back and forth. After a while, someone whispered,
"The furnishings in the palace are also in accordance with etiquette. Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to replace them with these folk things?"
"Yes, most of these things are the utensils of the common people. How can they enter the palace? I will give you some advice later."
"Yes, I think so too."
There is no risk in talking about these small things, and everyone immediately participated.
"But these tables and chairs are indeed very convenient."
"So what if it's convenient? Are you abandoning etiquette and rules just for the sake of temporary convenience? Huh, I don't want you, an old man like you, to sit in front of me with your legs crossed!"
"Hmph, you just have low self-esteem, but my old bird can still fight!" Gu Yan
"Bah! Shameless..."
"You are the one..."
The scene was a little chaotic for a while, but other people were still talking,
"Hey, I have heard that these things first came from Zhuangzi, where His Royal Highness lives."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the head of the Mo family, but these things are not worth mentioning, but in any case, they are against etiquette."
Wang Jian listened to these words silently, but his suspicions became more and more certain in his heart.
After waiting for a while, the attendants carrying the chairs left. Zhao Gao came out at this time and said,
"Everyone, Your Majesty has summoned you."
At this time, everyone tidied up their demeanor and then walked in solemnly.
As soon as he entered the palace, Wang Jian saw that the palace was completely different. All the tables and chairs had been replaced by folk tables and chairs.
"Everyone, take a seat."
Qin Shihuang came out, sat down on the top chair, touched the armrests on both sides of the chair, and said with a smile,
"Well, these chairs made by Lang'er are indeed much more comfortable."
There is no need to kneel down, which is still very good for the legs.
Hearing this, other people also laughed and said,
"It's indeed comfortable."
But no one said anything. We are all old nobles, and we are not the stiff-necked officials of etiquette and music. Who will make it difficult for me if nothing happens?
As for what I said before, it was purely to see if I could trick others.
Unfortunately, no one was fooled.
After a while of greetings, Qin Shihuang looked at the room full of nobles who had followed him up, and he felt a little emotional in his heart. He was not a hesitant, and he quickly said,
"I asked you to come here today, but I have something important to talk to you about."
Everyone's ears immediately perked up, they were waiting for this.
If nothing happened today, it would be like hell.
Qin Shihuang continued,
"I am already old, and so are you."
Hearing this, everyone was slightly shocked, and the entire palace became quiet. Zhao Gao also looked at Qin Shi Huang with some nervousness.
No one dared to talk at this time, Qin Shihuang continued,
"I actually don't want to grow old, so I believed the words of those alchemists before, but I almost died of poisoning."
The noble ministers exchanged glances with each other at this time. Of course they knew about this matter, and some people had also advised him. However, Qin Shihuang was extremely obsessed at the time and did not listen.
But what are you talking about now?
Their Majesty can be said to be wise and mighty, but he is definitely not a person who likes to admit his mistakes. At this time, Qin Shihuang said with some emotion,
"Fortunately, there is a prodigal. Fortunately, there is a prodigal. I have someone to succeed me..."
If it weren't for Zhao Lang, Qin Shihuang would have a hard time thinking about what would happen to the Great Qin he cared about if he suddenly died of poisoning.
Listening to Qin Shihuang's somewhat free-spirited sigh, everyone realized something at this time. Even if they had already guessed, everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Shihuang at this time.
Sure enough, Qin Shihuang said slowly at this time,
"I often feel physically tired now, so I want to abdicate to the prince. What do you think?"
Bang bang bang!
Before Qin Shihuang finished speaking, dull sounds of falling to the ground could be heard throughout the palace.
The noble ministers who were originally sitting on the chairs were now sitting on the ground with horrified faces!
In the end, Wang Jian came to his senses first and said directly,
"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
