Chapter 182: Continuous Cooperation in the Court
"If you have something to say, please tell me now. If not, let's go home early!!"

In the Qilin Hall, just as the officials had finished their greetings, Ying Yuan could not wait to speak.

But just one sentence silenced all the ministers.

Everyone was somewhat caught off guard.

Everyone knows that this young man is lazy and doesn't like to move, but no one expected that he would reach this level.

This is like wanting to do nothing!

But how could they know.

For Ying Yuan, he had just rested for two days without attending the court meeting, but now he had to attend the court meeting at dawn.

It would be strange if I could be in a good mood.

However, although Ying Yuan seemed casual, his eyes quietly fell on Feng Jie.

He really wanted to know what kind of trouble this so-called Qilin son of the Feng family could cause this time.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Jie opened his mouth, his body shook, and then he stood still again.

Obviously, the little fox of the Feng family is still not as good as the old fox of the Feng family!

At least, the concentration and decisiveness are still a little lacking!

But Feng Jie stopped, but Li Si couldn't bear it anymore and immediately stood up and spoke.

"My lord, please allow me to report to you. I have something to report to you!"

"allow!"

"Thank you, Master. I impeach General Wang Jian for mobilizing troops without authorization and for illegally mobilizing troops into the city yesterday."

"Although there are reasons for suppressing the rioters and stabilizing the city's defense, it is ultimately against the law. Please issue an order to reprimand him and serve as a warning to others!"

When Li Si said this, everyone was confused at first.

Then, after suddenly reacting, many people glared at Li Si.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of fairy tales are they playing?
From the surface, these words meant that Li Si was impeaching Wang Jian.

This seems to be a major event that will lead to a conflict between the prime minister and the top military official.

But actually?
Not to mention that the crime was trivial, he had even arranged the punishment in advance.

"Issue an order to reprimand!"

But the person he requested was Prince Ying Yuan, the Regent.

As luck would have it, Ying Yuan is the hidden party in this conflict!
Wang Jian sent troops to actually protect Ying Yuan's interests.

Well, it is conceivable that even if Young Master Yuan issued an edict, one can imagine what would be contained in the edict.

On the other hand, this matter has already become impeachment.

So should we explain in detail what happened in the salt shop in the court?

Damn!

At this moment, countless officials from aristocratic families were gnashing with hatred, but they couldn't do anything about Li Si.

Because at least people appear to be doing things flawlessly on the surface.

Li Si, the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was merely impeaching the number one military official for violating regulations.

What's wrong? Do I have to report to you officials who come from noble families?
When they thought of this, the officials from the aristocratic families and factions were really overwhelmed.

Then, he got angry for a moment.

if not?
Li Si's impeachment is just like the Imperial Censor impeaching someone for being untidy in dress and misbehaving in front of the emperor.

To put it bluntly, it's just some trivial matters.

There is no need to support or oppose it!

Don’t you see that other ordinary officials are waiting to watch the fun?

Ying Yuan was also a smart man. Seeing that Li Si had started the attack first, he would naturally not miss such an opportunity. He immediately became serious and said in a deep voice.

"Well, Prime Minister Li is absolutely right!"

"Where are the veteran generals?"

"Regarding what happened at the salt shop yesterday, I really need to say a few words to the old general!" After Ying Yuan pretended to look around twice, Li Si finally spoke.

"My lord, the old general is at home sick!"

"Hmm? Called in sick?"

"What about Wang Ben?"

"General Wang has worked hard and made great contributions. I shouldn't blame him too much because of his age and achievements."

"Then let Marquis Tongwu come forward and talk. Father and son have the same mind, so they are all the same!"

The reasons given by Ying Yuan were very appropriate, as if he was truly thinking about Wang Jian, and he was so natural and at ease.

But what he got was Li Si's cold answer.

"My Lord, the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben, has also called in sick!"

"Hmm? You're sick too?"

Ying Yuan's tone was full of doubt, but the expression on his face was almost unbearable.

Many court officials have realized at this moment that the Prime Minister and the Regent are actually working in cahoots?
My goodness, you two are joining forces, what are you trying to do?

Many people immediately shrank their necks in horror!
These two are both ruthless people with a long history of bad deeds.

What's stained on the hands can't be called blood, but rather the souls of wronged people.

Now, you two want to join forces?

Who is this intended for?

Afraid!
But no matter what others think, Ying Yuan’s “role” continues.

"Well, the father and son of the Wang family are both veterans in the army. It is normal for them to have some hidden injuries and old diseases."

"So, I think the Prime Minister's impeachment is very reasonable."

"In that case, there is no need to issue a dry decree. After the court session, I will go to the palace in person and scold him in person!"

"What does the Prime Minister think?"

Li Si's acting skills were much better than Ying Yuan's. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said, "Sir, there is nothing wrong with this!"

Got it!
After all the back and forth between the prince regent and the prime minister, Wang Jian's secret dispatch of troops was actually covered up.

As the saying goes, there is no double punishment for the same crime. Now that Wang Jian’s case has been settled, we can’t use it to cause trouble in the future.

But, how could Feng Jie just watch things go on like this?

After taking a deep breath, Feng Jie suddenly stepped forward, walked out of the queue and spoke loudly.

"Sir, I have something to report!"

"Oh, the Imperial Censor has something to report? Approved!"

Feng Jie glanced at Ying Yuan who was sitting at the top, gritted his teeth, and then spoke.

"Sir, in my opinion, the fact that there are bandits causing chaos in the market and in front of the Royal Salt Shop is a dereliction of duty on the part of the city defense forces."

"However, General Meng Tian is so busy with his duties that it is inevitable that he may have overlooked something."

"Therefore, I suggest that all the criminals be handed over to the city defense army for interrogation and punishment, so that they can redeem themselves for their crimes!"

"This move not only preserves the reputation of the young master for his kindness, but also gives General Meng Tian a chance to make amends!"

"Please allow me, sir!"

After these words were spoken, Ying Yuan almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Is this the solution that the Feng family's talented son came up with?

You spent the whole night thinking about it and came up with this idea?
Ying Yuan simply couldn't understand the other party's train of thought.

It was such an obvious conspiracy, almost see-through at a glance, so why was Feng Jie so sure that he couldn't see through it?
Could it be that he has met too many fools, so he thinks that he, the prince regent, is only capable of this level?
Isn’t this a bit too disrespectful?

Ying Yuan was thinking about one thing at the moment.

'How can I cooperate with your performance?'
