Most people were visibly infuriated, as they hardly knew anything about Qin Zhen. At most, they were aware she shared some blood relation with the Emperor. If it had been some insignificant position due to nepotism, that might have been acceptable, but to elevate her directly to the esteemed position of Prime Minister was a massive leap. It felt to the assembly as if they were being publicly fed a lump of excrement under the bright court lights.
"Your Majesty, if this humble subject may be so bold, may I inquire what virtues and capabilities Miss Qin Zhen possesses to sit in the position of Prime Minister!" a thin, elderly official could no longer hold back and stood up to speak.
"Well asked, Minister Li," Qin Wu nodded, her expression one of great approval, "Indeed, Qin Zhen is but a frail woman, what virtues and capabilities does she have to assume the position of Prime Minister upon her arrival? I know you all harbor many doubts, but Qin Zhen and I will address them one by one."
