Fusu shouted frantically, "What crime have I committed? I am the emperor, who dares to know my crime?"
Lu Li's expression grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, he appeared in front of Fu Su, the blade of the Tianwen Sword pressed against Fu Su's neck, and whispered, "What qualifications do you think you have to be this emperor?"
"Hahaha......"
Fusu suddenly burst into laughter, his smile twisting into a ferocious expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am the emperor! I am the emperor of Great Qin, the eldest son of the late emperor. No one can change my identity, not even you, Lu Li. I am the true emperor!"
He roared to the sky, his heart filled with boundless rage, wishing he could devour Lu Li's flesh and drink his blood dry.
"Smack!"
Lu Li raised his hand and slapped Fu Su hard across the face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the hall, and half of Fu Su's face swelled up.
Fusu covered his face, looking at Lu Li in disbelief. He never expected that Lu Li would actually dare to hit him!
"Lu Li, how dare you hit me! I am the emperor, how dare you hit me!" Fu Su roared hysterically, like a wild beast, wanting to rush up and fight Lu Li to the death.
However, they were unable to get even a fraction closer to Lu Li, because his internal energy leaked out and formed an invisible barrier around him.
"If it weren't for the late emperor, I would really want to kill you!" Lu Li took a deep breath and stared coldly at Fusu.
Fusu's eyes flashed with the flames of hatred, and he roared through gritted teeth, "I am the eldest son of the late emperor, and this Great Qin must be mine. No one can take it away!"
A look of pity appeared in Lu Li's eyes. He shook his head and slowly raised the Heavenly Question Sword.
"What do you want to do? Do you dare to kill the emperor?" Fusu shouted in terror, his body trembling as if he had already foreseen his impending death.
Lu Li's arm, which was raised in mid-air, ultimately did not fall.
He was Ying Zheng's son, his closest blood relative; he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Depose Emperor Fusu and imprison him in the Heavenly Prison!" Lu Li seemed to have used all his strength to utter these words.
Lu Li waved his hand, and the guards immediately came forward, seized Fusu, and took him to the imperial prison.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials dared not utter a single word, and all bowed their heads.
Zhao Gao, witnessing all this, was already sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, as if releasing all the grievances he had pent up.
Lu Li closed his eyes and sighed deeply. His eyes were a little wet, and his heart was filled with deep sorrow.
At this moment, Li Si spoke up and asked, "Sir, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I urge you to appoint a new ruler!"
Nowadays, only Li Si dares to say such things; the other civil and military officials don't even dare to breathe loudly.
Yes, after deposing Fusu, a new emperor needs to be established.
Ying Zheng had a total of twenty-two sons. Apart from Fusu and Huhai, who were relatively well-known, there was only one other son, Gongzi Gao.
Historically, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, Prince Gao feared that Hu Hai would harm him, so he volunteered to be buried alive with Ying Zheng, thus saving Prince Gao's family.
Now, due to the rewriting of history, Fusu has not yet taken action against his brothers and the Ying clan, so Prince Gao is still alive and well.
"Let...Young Master Gao be the new emperor!"
Lu Li had some impression of Ying Gao, but he remembered him more for his act of being buried alive with Ying Zheng.
This person is fearless of death and possesses a spirit of sacrifice. There is no more suitable candidate at present, so we can only establish Ying Gao as the new emperor.
"Do any of you have any objections?" Lu Li asked softly.
The assembled civil and military officials immediately echoed in alarm, "We have no objection!"
Just kidding. The Censor-in-Chief can be killed at will, and the Emperor can be deposed at will. Who dares to object?
They witnessed Lu Li's ruthless methods for the first time, and also the power of the Black Ice Platform.
Even if Fusu overthrows Zhao Gao and disbands the Black Ice Guard, the Black Ice Guard will continue to exist as long as Lu Li appears!
The people of the Black Ice Guard only recognize two people: Ying Zheng and Lu Li.
The latter is more cherished in their hearts.
...............
When the young master Gao learned of this, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
He never imagined that he would one day become emperor. While he felt a slight sense of smugness, he was mostly worried.
According to the late emperor's will, Lu Li was appointed regent, meaning that the emperor himself was merely a puppet.
If one day Lu Li wants to take his place, he will have no means of countermeasures whatsoever.
After pondering all night, Gongzi Gao arrived at the villa where Lu Li had previously lived just as dawn was breaking to meet him.
"Sir, Young Master Gao requests an audience."
Lu Li was currently treating Zhao Gao's injuries. Although his tongue could no longer be restored, Lu Li could completely help him recover from his physical injuries.
"Let him in."
Then, Gongzi Gao came to Lu Li.
Looking at him, Lu Li noticed that Gongzi Gao bore a striking resemblance to Ying Zheng, about six-tenths of his appearance. In a daze, he felt as if he were seeing Ying Zheng standing before him.
"Ying Gao greets you, sir!"
Lu Li didn't presume to be arrogant and stood up to return Ying Gao's greeting, which reassured Young Master Gao somewhat.
"Young master, what brings you here so early?" Lu Li asked.
Ying Gao gritted his teeth and finally mustered up his courage to say, "Sir! Your decision to make me emperor is an overwhelming honor!"
"But I want to ask you a question: how should I be a good emperor of the Great Qin?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but give a wry smile.
