The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 50 Prime Minister Wei Zhe
"Please speak, Prime Minister."

The prince's voice became a little lighter, and it was obvious that he took the prime minister of a country more seriously.

Ying Chengjiao also perked up.

[Just because of your jealousy, I made these dumplings! ]
Wei Zhe, with white hair and a youthful face, stood up and raised his hands upwards.

"When the previous king was alive, he loved and cared for Prince Chengjiao, saying that the Qin State depended on Chengjiao for a hundred years..."

"Mr. Xiangbang." Ying Chengjiao listened to the beginning and interrupted Wei Zhe before he got to the point, saying, "Do you want to talk about Yexiang?"

Wei Zhe raised his head, his eyes burning at the platform, straight to Master Chengjiao, without saying a word.

Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but sit up straighter, and his impatient mood calmed down.

He felt that something was not right with Wei Zhe today.

"Yes.

"Not at all."

Wei Zhe's voice was steady, with both the vicissitudes of an old man and the strength of a middle-aged man.

"Is that true or not?" Bie Gong asked impatiently.

There was another burst of laughter in the court. This kind of situation and atmosphere was absolutely normal in the Qin court.

Just like when Li Chong was criticized at the beginning, one party didn't pursue the matter, and everyone laughed for a while and the matter was forgotten.

But this time, something is different.

Prime Minister Wei Zhe actually took two steps forward, and then seven steps to reach the platform.

To advance without a special calling is a great presumption.

This caused the eunuchs waiting on the steps of the high platform to raise their eyebrows and scold coldly:
"Back off!"

Wei Zhe ignored the eunuch and turned to face the ministers.

His gaze, like that of Master Cheng Jiao before, scanned every minister.

The eyes swept away and the laughter disappeared.

No matter whether they are civil officials or military generals, they must give some face to the Prime Minister.

Even the veteran general Meng Ao stopped smiling and waited in silence.

The old man's gaze finally fell on Bian Gong's face, as sharp as a sword.

"That's you guys!
"It destroyed the Qin's child prodigy! It caused a young man to take over the throne!
"The court is making a lot of noise, interrupting the ministers' conversations. Is this a good thing?

"What are you helping?

"An old thief who has brought disaster to the country!"

Bie Gong had a bad temper and never hesitated when it came to taking action. He would just pick up a chair and smash it at the opponent.

Behind him, a middle-aged Qin general named Yang Duanhe pulled the chair.

When Bian Gong turned around and saw the man, he kicked him.

"roll!"

Yang Duanhe raised his arms to block it, then sat down on the chair, releasing the force and letting go of the chair.

This time the changes were sudden and swift.

Bie Gong turned around and was about to continue teaching Wei Zhe a lesson.

"Mr. Biao!"

Young Master Cheng Jiao shouted, stood up on the high platform, bowed slightly to the old man above, and said:

"Please let the Prime Minister finish what he is saying."

"What's the point of listening to this nonsense! Your gossip is ruining our Great Qin!" Bie Gong snorted coldly.

Although he said that, he straightened the chair with his hands and sat down.

"He looks a bit like a child prodigy who has just entered the imperial court."

Wei Zhe turned his back to Master Cheng Jiao and uttered a word of praise without any hint of praise, his eyes falling on Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang was enjoying the show when he suddenly made eye contact with the Prime Minister.

He thought to himself that something was wrong and lowered his head quickly, praying that the Prime Minister's eyes would just pass over him.

"At today's grand court meeting, Zhe saw a new face.

"Looking at your attire, your ribbon, and the position you are sitting in, close to your colleagues, you must be the new Counselor.

"stand up."

The Prime Minister is the head of the civil officials.

Although Wei Zhuang, the Counselor, was directly under the command of the Imperial Physician, he did not dare to offend the Prime Minister, so he had no choice but to stand up and bow deeply to Wei Zhe.

"What's your name?" Wei Zhe asked in a declarative tone.

"Ki-shaped."

"Kuai Zhuang, let me ask you, what are the duties of the Counselor?"

"…Palm discussion."

"Why didn't you do anything when Master Chengjiao was disrupting the order of the court?"

"..." "Mr. Bai is taking advantage of his age to bully others, why don't you do anything about it!"

"..."

"No matter what, what's the difference between you, the Counselor, and your predecessor? What are you doing here? You are just a corpse lying on the throne of the Counselor!"

"..."

Wei Zhuang had already started cursing in his heart.

Why did they pick him alone to speak when he was attending court for the first time? Why didn't the other three counselors speak?

Besides, who dares to take care of this?

Wei Zhe ignored the new counselor who had a red face, looked embarrassed and humiliated.

He turned around and looked at Master Cheng Jiao again.

"Master Chengjiao, you can't possibly understand what I said and did today.

"It's okay, just remember it.

"I hope you won't waste your talent and won't disappoint the late king."

Just as Ying Chengjiao was about to speak, Wei Zhe's eyes had already shifted towards the prince.

The prime minister did not expect a response.

“When the previous king was alive, the first time he brought Prince Cheng Jiao to court, he listened more than he spoke.

“If you say something wrong, the former king will point out where you are wrong.

“And now, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

"Since the death of the previous king, he has become even more arrogant.

“Not only has there been no progress, but there has been a regression.

"Zhe, may I ask, why didn't the Crown Prince tell Prince Chengjiao that the place where the eldest prince was assassinated belonged to the State of Qin?

"Instead, he nodded with a smile, full of expectation.

"Is this to say that what Master Chengjiao said is right?"

Crown Prince Qin Zichu looked resigned and bowed his head.

"It's my fault. The Prime Minister gave me a lesson."

The queen's mi did not make any sound and she looked unhappy.

"Wei Zhe.

"Cheng Jiao is only seven years old. What were you doing when you were seven? Do you know how big your village is?

"Why are you deliberately criticizing a child and making alarmist statements?"

Wei Zhe looked away, showing no respect.

"Of course I know that Prince Chengjiao is only seven years old, but what about you, Queen? Are you also seven years old?
"How can you be so harsh on a child?
"You are angry with Master Chengjiao, so you want to file a petition to establish an office that specializes in collecting night incense.

"What is night fragrance? It is shit and urine! It is the most filthy and disgusting thing!

"Where is the authority of the government when it collects feces and urine? How do the people see it? How do the six states of Shandong laugh at it?

"The Queen is not a child, she must know.

"Then may I ask, what is the Queen's intention in doing this?"

The makeup on Queen Huayang's face was wet, revealing traces.

Ying Chengjiao was so close that he could vaguely see the wrinkles on the skin underneath.

"Wei Zhe!"

Shangqing Li Chonger stood up and shouted:
"It was you who said at the last court meeting: 'What Master Chengjiao said about night fragrance increasing the grain harvest is indeed true and can be established.'

“The Crown Prince is asked to bring Master Chengjiao to the court to discuss specific measures with him.

"What has this got to do with the Queen?"

Dozens of people stood up and angrily scolded Wei Zhe.

Wei Zhe turned around for the third time and signaled with his eyes that Qin Chen, who was about to speak for him, should not stand up.

When no one stood up in the court, he smiled coldly.

"Grand Censor, please remember all those who are obstructing the royal power. Don't leave any of them behind."

The Grand Censor, with an official rank of two thousand stones, was in charge of supervising all officials.

There are many secondary duties, one of which is to record the affairs of court meetings.

Many of the people who stood up had pale faces, glanced at Queen Huayang, and hurriedly sat down on their chairs.

The sound of chairs being moved filled the room.

Wei Zhe's mocking voice could be heard clearly.

"What a bunch of idiots!
"It will help the harvest? Only you believe it.

"Only pigs consider excrement and urine as good things!"
