Chapter 153 Feng Jie's First Strategy

For Feng Quji and the other people present, this matter was so heartbreaking that they shed tears.

You know, ever since this Prince Yuan became regent.

No matter if it was the Feng family or the aristocratic families, they attacked them with one knife after another, each one aimed at the fatal parts.

When the first blow was chopped down, it was Feng Quji's greed that got the better of him, and he fell into Ying Yuan's trap.

It was obvious that they were two factions with different ideologies and could not work together, but Feng Quji was fooled by Ying Yuan and jumped into the trap on his own initiative.

Not only did he work hard to cooperate with the court in clearing out Zhao Gao's gang, but he also saved the court time.

The key point is that in order to get this vacant position, Feng Quji had to give up a lot of favors and even resources.

As a result, Ying Yuan, who was speaking well before, turned out to be a nobody and nothing happened.

He doesn't admit it!

The investment of the Feng family and the noble families behind them became a complete joke.

And then, Ying Yuan was assassinated.

It was clearly not his responsibility, but in the end it was Feng Quji who "voluntarily resigned"!
The good Prime Minister of the Great Qin became a commoner without any official position overnight.

What a hatred this is!

And all this was given by that Young Master Yuan.

These previous things have not been resolved yet, and now Gongzi Yuan is attacking them again.

Salt industry!!!

This is one of their most important sources of income.

Cutting off someone's source of income is no different from killing their parents.

It would be strange if Feng Quji didn't get angry.

"Oh, our Prince Regent is quite wise!"

"Such a big thing, but not a single word was leaked in the court!"

"Haha, when Your Majesty ascended the throne, he didn't have such a powerful demeanor!"

"Jie'er, you can arrange this matter with confidence. In my opinion, this time, the chances are good!"

No matter what, Feng Quji was once the prime minister.

As the saying goes, if you stay in officialdom for a long time, even if it is smoked, you will eventually develop some taste for it.

What's more, Feng Quji is not a stupid person.

Feng Jie listened to what his old father said, his lips curled up slightly and he said with certainty.

"What father said is absolutely true!"

“That’s actually what the kid thinks.”

"Moreover, from my perspective, the matter of the salt and iron monopoly is a weakness that Ying Yuan finally revealed!"

"If we plan well, we might be able to kill them with one strike!"

After Feng Jie said this, everyone in the hall looked at each other in surprise!

Even the noble families who had always supported Feng Jie couldn't help but open their eyes wide in disbelief!

A fatal blow?
To Ying Yuan?
Why does this sound so mysterious?

Although everyone present already has great trust and respect for Feng Jie's talents.

But after hearing these words now, they still found it a little hard to believe.

In fact, in their opinion, Ying Yuan's identity determined that unless he was an unforgivable criminal, there would be no chance for him to make a fatal blow!
You know, Ying Yuan is the Sixth Prince of the Qin Empire!
He is still a prince who can supervise the government affairs for the First Emperor!

For the First Emperor, no matter how much trouble Ying Yuan made, it was a matter between them, father and son.

And what about these people now?
They are ministers!

The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is completely different!

After all, these people actually know it very well.

They had made no contribution to the Qin Dynasty. They were only able to gain the prestige they had today by relying on the influence of their ancestors.

Not to mention facing Ying Yuan, even if they faced the old Wang Jian, they felt that their chances of winning were not very good!

But after hearing what Feng Jie said, Feng Quji did not look as unbearable as the others. Instead, he asked with interest.

"Oh, Jerry, what do you think?"

When Feng Quji said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at everyone present.

As the old saying goes, if a ruler fails to keep secrets, he will lose his country; if a minister fails to keep secrets, he will lose his life.

The famous Black Dragon Guard and the rising Jinyi Guard, in all likelihood, had spies and secret agents stationed in their own homes.

And this group of people in front of them seemed to have always been surrounding the Feng family.

But if something big happens, how many people can keep their mouths shut?
If what Jie'er said is really that important, it would be better to silence him first.

After all, dead people are the safest!
But Feng Quji's heart moved slightly.

Since this Qilin child of ours spoke directly in front of so many people, maybe he has his own ideas?

Feng Jie had no idea that Feng Quji had thought about so many random things.

At this time, he was already immersed in his own "great talent and strategy".

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked half a circle in the hall, and spoke loudly.

"If this matter is to succeed, it has to be thanks to a piece of information I got!"

"A few days ago, something suddenly became a hot topic in Xianyang City and its suburbs."

"That was Xiahou Ying, who was under Ying Yuan's command, personally escorting five carts of salt directly to the camp of the city guards."

"After that, the city guards suddenly took a break!"

"Not only that, each of the city guards actually took a lot of salt home!"

"The reputation that was spread out was that it was a reward from the Prince Regent!"

At this point, Feng Jie raised the corner of his mouth, looked at everyone and his old father and asked with a smile.

"Father, and everyone else, you said that this prince regent not only had an affair with the military generals, but also made great efforts to establish his prestige in the army."

"If His Majesty heard this, what would he think?"

hiss……

As soon as Feng Jie said this, both the old fox Feng Quji and other noble families gasped in surprise, and then their faces changed slightly and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

This move is too cruel and heartbreaking!

Who is the current emperor?

That was because he had been threatened by the powerful prime minister Lu Buwei, and had also experienced the Lu Bu Ai Rebellion and Cheng Qiao's rebellion!

It can be said that the First Emperor encountered endless betrayals and assassinations along the way.

Now, in the eyes of the First Emperor, Ying Yuan's actions may not necessarily be considered treason, but if there is suspicion of treason, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

Feng Quji suddenly said with finality.

"Jie'er, you will report this matter to His Majesty in person!"

Feng Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded thoughtfully, which was considered as his agreement.

He hadn't thought about it before, but now that his father reminded him, he remembered it.

Oh, I am the Imperial Censor, I can report things upon hearing rumors and make direct criticisms against the emperor.

No matter how His Majesty the First Emperor handles this matter in the end.

At least from Feng Jie's perspective, his submission was in compliance with the rules.

Regardless of whether the First Emperor dealt with him or not, at least Feng Jie would not be charged with any crime.

After all, it was a foregone conclusion that Ying Yuan made friends with military generals and bribed soldiers.

Your Majesty cannot just turn a blind eye to such things!

And this is Feng Jie’s first strategy!
