Chapter 11 Testing the Emperor
The moment he saw Ying Yuan coming, Fusu immediately became nervous. He looked left and right at him, even at his hands.

However, Ying Yuan brought nothing with him except a warm smile.

Even Zhao Gao stared at Ying Yuan for a long time, his eyes flickering slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

"Sixth brother, are you ready?"

Inside the Qilin Palace, after all the officials arrived at their seats, Fusu also asked Ying Yuan in a low voice.

These two brothers, one is nervous, the other is smiling calmly. If you don’t know, you would think that the one who is going to face difficulties today is actually the eldest prince Fusu.

Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong on the side also pricked up their ears and couldn't help but stare at Ying Yuan.

Although it's unlikely, this Sixth Young Master is too relaxed today, isn't he? Is there really some secret killer move?
Ying Yuan didn't say anything, just gave Fusu a smile and blinked.

I'm going to talk about it later anyway, so wouldn't it be a waste of time to explain it now?

Seeing that his sixth brother didn't say anything, Fusu became even more anxious and was about to ask a few more questions.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment, a sharp trumpet sounded.

The atmosphere in the entire Qilin Hall became stagnant.

His Majesty the First Emperor was seen walking slowly out from behind the screen, holding the Tianwen Sword in his hand.

"Your Majesty, long live the Great Qin!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, His Majesty the First Emperor sat down on the high platform and slowly glanced at his ministers.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Ying Yuan finished cheering, he felt a gaze falling on him. He looked up and saw it was his father.

"Yuan'er, the one-day deadline has come. Can you accomplish what you have in mind?"

From the high platform, the majestic voice of His Majesty the First Emperor rang out.

Omitting all unnecessary processes, this emperor of all ages went straight to the point!

In one word, the atmosphere of the entire Qilin Hall was brought to its highest point!
Everyone's eyes were turned to Ying Yuan with extremely complicated expressions.

There were military commanders who were secretly excited and expectant.

There are also people with deep thoughts and a thoughtful look on their faces.

But more than that, there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Frankly speaking, as far as Gongzi Yuan is concerned in improving the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, there is really not a single person in the entire court who firmly believes in it.

Wang Jian slowly raised his eyes, which were originally slightly closed, and looked at Ying Yuan without saying a word.

The young master was ignorant and spoke wildly and rebelliously. As a general of the Qin State, he would naturally not add insult to injury. However, he had already done his best by giving him a way out in the court yesterday. It was impossible for him to get away with it at all now.

On the contrary, Wang Ben stared at Ying Yuan with his tiger eyes, as if he was very concerned about the result.

Although Prime Ministers Li Si and Feng Quji looked at Ying Yuan, their expressions were much calmer than those of other officials.

After all, they are civil servants, and the prime minister is the head of all officials. They are indeed concerned about improving the combat effectiveness of the army, but they will never go to such an extent.

Under the gazes of the entire court, Ying Yuan smiled, slowly stood up, and spoke loudly:

"Your Majesty, Father,"

"no!"

As soon as he said this, the Qilin Hall fell silent! The general, who was originally delighted by Ying Yuan's confident smile, widened his eyes and pressed his ear sockets hard, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

As for those civil servants, their faces twitched slightly, and it was obvious that they were choked by Ying Yuan's short six words!
You, Master Yuan, haven't finished yet, so why were you smiling so happily when you came here today?
It seems like this matter has been settled?
Don’t you know that this will give people an illusion?
Even Wang Jian, who originally had some favorable impression towards Ying Yuan because of his words, now showed some "disappointment" on his face.

Is it true that he is just an incompetent young man who talks big but does nothing, as the outside world says?

It's good to have this intention, but it's really hard to achieve great things if you talk so big!

Thinking of this, Wang Jian closed his eyes again, unwilling to look anymore.

Even if Wang Jian wanted to plead for Prince Yuan because of what he had said before, that would be after the court session.

Fusu was horrified, and quickly stood up and said, "Father, my sixth brother is still young. It is too hasty to increase the combat effectiveness of the army by 100% in just one day."

"but,"

"Sixth brother is devoted to Qin. I hope your Majesty will understand my filial piety and loyalty!"

To be honest, Fusu was not a hypocrite like some great Confucian scholars who talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

When his younger brother makes a mistake, the older brother will really stand up!
Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong were shocked but could do nothing.

They really understood this eldest son. Not to mention stopping him, their persuasion yesterday was a waste of effort.

however,
His Majesty the First Emperor did not say anything, but just glanced at Fusu indifferently, and then turned his gaze to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan was seen standing upright with an elegant demeanor and a faint smile on his face, without any sign of panic or fear.

Such an appearance even made some younger officials admire the Sixth Young Master's thick skin.

How shameless of him to stand up and say "not completed"? This Sixth Young Master is really a talent!

"His Majesty."

At this moment, a slightly sharp and somewhat sinister voice was heard.

Zhao Gao, the Imperial Chariot Officer, said slowly, "Master Fusu is right. The Sixth Master is still young and does not know the seriousness of the situation. He made irresponsible remarks about the military and the country in the court. Your Majesty, please do not punish him too severely!"

After saying this, Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Zhao Gao from head to toe, with murderous intent rising in his heart.

You bastard, you have such a sinister mind!
On the surface, Zhao Gao was trying to exonerate Ying Yuan, but what was the reality?
Having pointed out the "militaristic rhetoric", if there is to be punishment, it will not be light!

What's even more hateful is that the first thing Zhao Gao said was "Fusu is right", and he even wanted to drag Fusu into the water.

The cruel intentions of the court are evident from this!
Whether for himself or for the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao must not be kept!
And
We can't delay! We have to chop this guy down in the next two days!
"Yuan'er, speak frankly, don't be so secretive."

However, on the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor said something that stunned all the civil and military officials in the court!
What? Straight talk?

Didn't Gongzi Yuan speak frankly just now? It's not finished! How can you say it's hidden?

Your Majesty, what you said is not quite right!
On the contrary, Ying Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he immediately smiled bitterly!

Well! Putting aside the fact that no one knows a son better than his father, how did my father get by? He became the King of Qin at the age of thirteen, and fought against Lu Buwei in the court, the in-laws of various countries, and the six countries on the battlefield.

With this ability to see through people's hearts, I'm afraid no one in the world can match him.

I had originally wanted to test how tolerant my father would be of my slacking off, but now, I have no choice but to tell him everything!
"Your Majesty, I have something to offer you."

"As long as my father is willing to allocate money and send craftsmen to build it, with only 30,000 coins, the combat power of our Great Qin army can be increased by 100%!"

Ying Yuan put his hand into his arms and spoke loudly.

When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court opened their eyes wide!

Thirty thousand coins? Increase the combat power of the Qin army by 100%?
Gongzi Yuan, why are you still cheating?
