Chapter 16 A mere fatal injury!
"puff!"

From somewhere, a laughter that could not be suppressed was heard, and then many officials in the Qilin Hall could not help but tremble.

What's worse, he pinched his thighs tightly and used the pain to numb his smile!
Broke the nail on your pinky finger?

It's really a serious injury!
If you don't get treatment right away, I'm afraid the wound will heal.
"Sir, it doesn't hurt now, does it?"

Wang Ben scratched his head and asked again.

He was really worried that something might go wrong. What if Gongzi Yuan, who looked very tasty and had made a war horse suit for the Qin army, broke his little finger? He would be in pain for many days.

"It's just a fatal injury. There's no need to worry about it, Lord Tongwu. This young master is fine."

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, looking heroic as if he didn't care about his injuries.

This sentence caused the number of officials in Qilin Hall to tremble greatly.

"Your Majesty, the prince has truly disregarded the laws of the Great Qin by acting this way."

"If Your Majesty does not punish him, I am afraid that the ministers will be discouraged!"

Chunyu Yue had finally recovered his breath, how could he let Ying Yuan get away with it like this?

If Ying Yuan is not punished, then Chunyu Yue will become a laughing stock among his ministers!

After these words were spoken, Shusun Tong frowned.

It’s true that my old friend was furious, but he was wrong!

This Young Master Yuan just presented a warhorse suit, which made a huge contribution to the increase in the combat power of the Qin army.

It is almost impossible to ask His Majesty the First Emperor to punish him now.

in contrast,

If his old friend did not give in on the matter, it would only make His Majesty the First Emperor unhappy.

If this gets implicated, maybe even Prince Fusu will be hated by Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Although Master Yuan took action in the court, his behavior was inappropriate. But this matter is ultimately just a dispute caused by verbal arguments."

"I think that the punishment should not be severe."

Shusun Tong stood up and spoke loudly.

After hearing these words, people who didn't know the truth might think that this guy was speaking for Ying Yuan.

But in fact, Shusun Tong was trying to moderate Chunyu Yue's words just now. Otherwise, being so aggressive would have the meaning of coercing Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

As for the following 'should not be severely punished', if you listen to it the other way around, doesn't it mean 'but there should be punishment'?

With just a few words, his experience in the court was fully demonstrated.

Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Shusun Tong, and thought to himself: "This old guy is more difficult to deal with than Chunyu Yue."

On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor looked at the three people below the stage. One was Chunyu Yue, who was furious; one was Ying Yuan, who stood up fearlessly; and one was Shusun Tong, who seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but in fact, requested that Ying Yuan be punished.

"In today's event, Ying Yuan contributed a lot by offering the warhorse suit."

"Yang Ye."

His Majesty the First Emperor mentioned the name of Yang Ye, the Internal Secretary of Grain Administration.

With a serious face, the skinny Yang Ye immediately stood up and said loudly: "I am here."

"You discuss with Wang Jian and are responsible for creating warhorse suits and selecting soldiers to test their effectiveness. If successful, promote them to the entire army."

Yang Ye and Wang Jian responded respectfully at the same time: "Yes!"

Then, His Majesty the First Emperor looked at Ying Yuan and slowly said, "Under the rule of the Great Qin, merits will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished."

"The warhorse suit is the work of Ying Yuan. For now, I will record it as a third-rank military merit. When the warhorse suit is completed and its function is obvious, I will raise it to the fifth rank."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the Qilin Hall was shocked!
Military merit!

Or get military merit without fighting?
And it starts at level three? Will it be raised to level five in the future?
"Hiss!" Sparse gasps were heard among the civil servants, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Ying Yuan.

You have to know that this is the Great Qin, and they implement a system of military merit-based titles!

The fifth level of military merit is a great military merit achieved by risking one’s life on the battlefield.

This Young Master Yuan got it just by talking in the court?

Moreover, as a young master with military merits, this is a completely different matter!

The Qin Dynasty was founded on military power, and the position of crown prince was vacant. Although Prince Fusu was not the eldest prince, he had no military merits.

Now that a Sixth Young Master with military merits has appeared, how could they not be shocked?

It can even be said that His Majesty the First Emperor was sending a signal to everyone: Don't underestimate this Young Master Yuan!

The official reward was just a military title of "doctor", and the monthly salary increase was only twenty coins.

But in fact, it suddenly raised Ying Yuan's status in the court!
"Thank you, Father."

Ying Yuan was slightly stunned, and then bowed reluctantly.

He doesn’t want any military merit!
If a young man has military merits, and is unique in this regard, wouldn't there be more people watching him in the court?

Next, it’s inconvenient to slack off!

Although every man has the desire to lead troops to fight on the battlefield, with the fifth level of military merit, he can only lead a few thousand soldiers at most, and there are generals watching him. What a joke!
"As for this."

His Majesty the First Emperor paused slightly.

In an instant, everyone's heart was lifted up.

Is it coming? This young master Yuan has just been mentioned for military merit, and now he is going to punish him for his misconduct in front of the palace.

A date and a stick.

Chunyu Yue's eyes were burning, and then he looked at Ying Yuan, full of hatred!
He never thought that an idle young man with a bad reputation would cause him to lose face so much today.

Only by punishing him severely can this Young Master Yuan realize his mistakes and make everyone respect him as a doctor!

Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue was even looking forward to whether His Majesty the First Emperor would issue an edict, ordering this Prince Yuan to apologize to him!

Regardless of your posture at that time, at least your eyes must let the other person know that you are not someone to be trifled with!

"Yuan Er lost his manners in front of the palace and fought with the doctor."

"I will punish you for your hard work today. From today on, all memorials from Prime Minister Li Si's residence will be sent to Yuan'er's palace for you to read and study.

His Majesty the First Emperor spoke calmly.

As soon as this punishment was mentioned, everyone was stunned!

Even Li Si's eyes looked a little strange!
This is called punishment?
Isn't it obvious that they think Gongzi Yuan is new to the court and lacks experience in governing, so they ask him to study hard?

This is simply a favor!
This is a reward!
Everyone's eyes turned differently when they looked at Ying Yuan!

It seems that this Prince Yuan has received special favor from His Majesty the First Emperor today!

Military merit, study government affairs.

If both of these two items were given to Prince Fusu, they would even think that the ceremony of establishing a crown prince should be held this year!

But now, when it comes to Gongzi Yuan, it has a different meaning!

Should we train Prince Yuan or temper Prince Fusu?
However, the person involved, Ying Yuan, was really dumbfounded at this moment!
At this moment, he felt like the sky was falling!

What? Forget about going to work, but you want me to study after get off work?

Exploitation! The evil feudal imperial ideology!

Don’t you know that workers have free and happy time after get off work? How can we deprive them of these remaining good times?
