Chapter 76 The clan attacks!
Ye Chi was dressed in court robes with fluttering sleeves, looking like a god. His face was as calm as water, his eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing an indescribable majesty and composure.
Ye Chi stepped inside, and every step seemed to be on the clouds, light yet steady.
His posture was as straight as a pine tree and his temperament was as elegant as an orchid, which formed a sharp contrast with the officials and clan representatives around him.
He was like a lonely crane, standing out among the flock of chickens.
His appearance immediately caused a huge uproar in the court!
All the officials were astonished, and their eyes were all cast on Ye Chi, as if they had seen something incredible!
Isn't that... the Minister of Fengchang Temple, Ye Chi? !
How did he enter the court? !
Could it be His Majesty's order?
The clan representatives had ferocious looks on their faces, with strong hostility and indignation in their eyes!
"Ye Chi! How dare you appear here! Do you know where this place is?!" a clan member roared with gritted teeth.
"That's right! How dare you, a despicable villain, stand in the court!!" Another clan representative also echoed angrily.
Their voices echoed in the court, filled with anger and disdain.
However, facing the accusations and insults from everyone, Ye Chi remained calm and composed.
He knew that at this moment, no matter what he said, he would not be able to calm the anger of these clan representatives.
So, Ye Chi looked normal, walked calmly into the court without saying a word.
He was fully aware of his current situation and understood where the hostility of these clan representatives came from.
However, he did not show any fear. Instead, he seemed calm and composed, as if everything was under his control!
At this moment, a majestic drum sounded, and the First Emperor walked up the jade steps with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
He wore a crown on his head and a winch-wheeled imperial sword hung from his waist, looking majestic and imposing.
The first time Ye Chi saw the emperor's domineering manner, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart! He is indeed the greatest emperor of all time!
After the First Emperor sat down, the hall suddenly became quiet. Only the eunuch's shrill and high-pitched voice echoed in the hall: "If you have something to say, please stand up and report. If not, please leave!"
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the court, as if even the air had frozen.
However, this calm did not last long.
The clan representatives could no longer suppress their anger. They stepped forward and pointed at Ye Chi.
For a time, the court was filled with accusations and insults.
I saw a clan leader with a dignified look on his face, who was the first to attack.
He pointed at Ye Chi, with anger and hatred that could not be concealed in his voice, and said to the First Emperor:
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what virtue and ability does Ye Chi have to be allowed to attend the court to discuss matters? This person is young and incompetent, and has little experience. It is difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility. Moreover, the strategy he proposed in the war against Baiyue is outrageous, which is not what a minister of our Great Qin would do! I think this person is not worthy of standing in the court, let alone participating in the discussion of national affairs!"
After he finished speaking, there was a burst of voices of agreement in the court!
The clan representatives cast angry and disdainful glances at Ye Chi, their faces full of contempt and ridicule.
"Ye Chi, who do you think you are? Are you qualified to attend the court?!" A clan representative sneered, "You are just a brat, what qualifications do you have to give orders here? There are many talented people in the court of my Great Qin, who is not a hundred times better than you?!"
Another clan representative also said: "That's right! Do you think that with your little talent, you can get the appreciation of His Majesty? This is ridiculous! My clan has assisted the royal family for generations and has been loyal to us. How can we allow a villain like you to stir up trouble here?" Their voices were getting louder and louder, and their words were getting more and more intense!
They seemed to want to eat Ye Chi alive to relieve their hatred!
The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense, as if a storm was about to come.
However, facing the accusations and abuses from everyone, Ye Chi remained calm and composed.
He stood there quietly, as unshakable as a mountain.
His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through all vanity and confusion.
Just as the clans were in a state of outrage and scolding, the First Emperor suddenly spoke in a deep voice, as loud as a bell, shocking everyone: "Ye Chi's entry into the court is my imperial decree. I have specially granted him permission to participate in government affairs. Do you have any objections?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence in the court. The clans were all silent, not daring to say anything!
However, at this moment, the clan leader stepped forward, his face solemn, his eyes determined, he saluted to the First Emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the court of the Great Qin is an important place of the country, how can we accommodate such a madman?"
"Our army attacked Yue, and our soldiers fought bravely and sacrificed their lives for the country. How can their flesh and blood be regarded as livestock and a burden?"
"Ye Chi, who proposed the vicious plan of throwing the bodies of the soldiers into the enemy camp, is truly an inhumane and unjust person!!!"
"How can such a person without moral integrity have the face to stand in the court? We are ashamed to be associated with him!!"
Once these words were spoken, there was another uproar in the court.
More clan representatives stepped forward like angry waves, their voices merged into a torrent of indignation, rising straight into the sky.
"What the clan leader said is absolutely right!" A clan representative raised his arms and shouted, "Ye Chi is a cruel and ruthless person who doesn't care about the lives of his soldiers. He is truly a heartless person! How can we serve in the same court with him and discuss state affairs together?"
"That's right!" Another clan representative gnashed his teeth and said, "Ye Chi's vicious plan is outrageous and intolerable! As citizens of the Great Qin, how can we tolerate such scum defile the court and disrupt the government?"
Their words were filled with anger and disdain, as if they wanted to eat Ye Chi alive.
Their eyes were as sharp as knives and swords, pointing directly at Ye Chi, as if they wanted to nail him to the pillar of shame, never to be able to turn over again.
The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense.
The accusations and insults from the clan representatives came one after another, sweeping in like a violent storm.
Their voices were filled with hatred and anger towards Ye Chi, as if they wanted to destroy him completely! !
At this moment, there was complete silence in the court.
All the officials stood in an orderly manner like geese, but Ye Chi stood alone in front of the crowd, and His Highness's place seemed to have become his own stage.
He stood straight, without a trace of fear on his face, and his calm demeanor was impressive.
Ye Chi's eyes were as deep as the sea, emitting a calm yet sharp light!
His eyes slowly swept across the court, like a sharp sword slowly being unsheathed, making every official touched by him feel awe!
When his sight finally fell on those self-important clan leaders, his eyes became even sharper!
A barely perceptible sneer flashed across his lips, and he spoke in a calm but powerful voice!
