Chapter 164 Something to report
Li Si's authority and influence always made him the target of public criticism when he was in power.
Now that he is absent due to illness, the atmosphere in the court seems much more harmonious.
Fusu sat on the dragon throne, scanning the ministers of His Highness with his sharp eyes.
He knew in his heart that no one who could compete with him in the court was present at the moment.
Hu Hai has not appeared since he became regent, and Li Si's absence makes today's court less tense.
Meng Tian stood aside, he was well aware of his position and role.
Seeing that other ministers chose to remain silent, he did not say anything to break the silence.
There was a rare harmonious atmosphere in the court.
"Since Lord Li Si is not here today, we will discuss the issue of the imperial examination system another day."
Fusu spoke slowly, breaking the silence in the court.
"My Lords, is there anything else you would like to discuss?"
The ministers looked at each other, and finally a senior minister came forward and spoke respectfully.
"Prince, the country is now stable and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. This is truly a sign of a prosperous era."
"However, I believe that we still need to be prepared for danger and strengthen national defense to prevent foreign invasion."
Fusu nodded in agreement: "Your Excellency is right."
"National defense is related to national security and cannot be ignored."
"General Meng Tian, what do you think?"
Meng Tian stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Highness, I think we should strengthen border patrols and defenses, and at the same time improve the combat effectiveness of the army."
“In addition, we can also consider establishing friendly diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.”
"To jointly maintain regional peace and stability."
After hearing this, Fusu nodded with satisfaction: "General Meng Tian is right."
"I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to ensure the safety of the country."
"Yes!" Meng Tian responded.
The discussion in the court continued, and the ministers expressed their views on state affairs.
Due to Li Si's absence, today's court seemed particularly harmonious, and the ministers' speeches were more active and frank.
As time went by, the court meeting gradually came to an end.
Fusu stood up and concluded.
"At today's court meeting, all the adults spoke actively and made suggestions for the country together. This is a blessing for the country."
“I hope everyone can continue to maintain this atmosphere of unity and harmony.”
“Together, we will contribute to the prosperity and stability of our country.”
The atmosphere of the court meeting suddenly became solemn, and the originally harmonious discussion gradually disappeared.
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak easily.
Fusu sat on the dragon throne, frowning slightly, with an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
The result he wanted seemed to have been achieved, but such silence made him feel an indescribable emptiness.
At this moment, Li Chen suddenly walked down from the hall, knelt in front of Fusu, clasped his hands together, and said in a firm voice: "I have something to report."
Fusu was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he looked at Li Chen.
He did not expect Li Chen to break the silence of the court at this moment.
But out of trust in Li Chen, he did not say anything to stop him, but instead gestured for Li Chen to continue speaking.
Li Chen took a deep breath, looked up at Fusu, his eyes flashing with determination.
"Your Highness, I am fully aware that the officials in the court today are concerned about the imperial examination system, so I chose to remain silent."
"However, I believe that as the pillars of the country, we cannot avoid problems out of fear."
