Chapter 193: Gongzi Yuan's Purpose for the Wang Family
"Sir, from what I have learned today, General Wang is pretending to be sick to avoid suspicion!"
Finally, when Ying Yuan's laughter died down a little, Cao Shen finally started to talk about business.
"You don't need to tell me about this. The entire court, including my father, knows it very well!"
In response to Cao Shen's reminder, Ying Yuan kindly explained.
"General Wang is certainly a veteran in the army, but all these years of experience in the court cannot have been in vain!"
"Therefore, he knew very well that he was about to get into trouble!"
"First of all, it's because of the suppression of the riots in Yanpu!"
"General Wang certainly called upon the legendary army, so it seemed like everything was natural."
"But in reality, the bottom line is that the troops were dispatched without orders!"
"That's right. No matter what the appearance is, at least it's true that they sent troops without orders!"
"Then just for this, there will definitely be court officials pointing fingers at me in the court!"
"It's not to overthrow General Wang, it's purely for my own fame or reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shen nodded slightly, obviously he had thought of this as well.
Some censors who are good at speaking rely on these achievements to gain reputation.
He could seriously impeach Wang Jian, an old minister of the empire and the number one man in the army, and he could also have the upper hand in terms of reason.
Even though people know that doing this kind of thing will inevitably offend people, there are still people who want to give it a try.
After all, the returns are high.
After Ying Yuan finished talking about what happened in the court, he turned around and looked at Cao Shen with a hint of amusement.
"Besides the people in the court, don't I want to pin the blame for suppressing the riot on General Wang?"
"After all, his shoulders are much more reliable than my small body. He can handle things!"
"The results of it?"
"General Ren Wang is so wise that he just reported sick!"
"Whether it's the court or this young master, all my ideas have come to nothing!"
After Ying Yuan said this, Cao Shen silently curled his lips.
It's true that these days, stupid people shouldn't be in the court.
Whether you are a human or a ghost, everyone is showing off. Look, you are plotting against me and I am on guard against you!
However, if we think about it again, if there were not these "smart people" in the court of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty would not have reached the point of unifying the world today.
If you think this way, it's normal.
However, Cao Shen just thought about it briefly and then turned to another question.
"Sir, the lady of the Wang family is beautiful and has a great family background. She is definitely a perfect match for you."
"But precisely because of his background, since you haven't obtained the throne yet, if the two sides fall in love, you will be in trouble!"
Having said that, Cao Shen looked up at Ying Yuan, and then quickly added a sentence.
"Well, if you feel that you and the noble lady of the Wang family are really in love, please restrain yourself."
"At least, don't do anything that involves talking all night long!"
"That could really cause big trouble!"
Ying Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
Then he blinked and thought about what Cao Shen had just said, especially the part about "talking all night long", before he reacted.
"Cao Shen, what are you thinking about?"
"In your mind, am I the kind of person who can't control himself?"
Listening to Ying Yuan's laughter and scolding, Cao Shen was not angry but felt relieved instead.
But at the same time, a question came to his mind.
"Since you know how powerful this is, why are you still..."
It's no wonder Cao Shen asked this question. It was because after he actually met Wang Xi today, he finally understood why so many noble sons in Xianyang City wanted to marry Wang Xi.
She is truly a beauty that can topple a whole country.
Add to that her family background, and she's definitely a perfect match for the gentleman!
It was precisely because of this that Cao Shen was worried that Prince Yuan would lose his composure and do something unwise.
Ying Yuan listened to Cao Shen's worried question, chuckled, and answered leisurely while looking at the scenery outside the hall.
"You asked very straightforwardly!"
"Then I'll just give you a straight answer!"
"Is Wang Xi okay?"
"Of course it's good. Not to mention her appearance and figure, she is definitely the best in the world."
"But what really matters to me is her identity. She is the daughter of the Wang family, the first family in the military!"
Speaking of this, Ying Yuan was also quite emotional.
"Now, the court of the Great Qin seems to be calm and peaceful. Everything is under the control of the emperor, and the Great Qin is moving forward steadily."
"But in reality, many problems are hidden underwater. They don't mean they don't exist, they're just covered up."
"But unfortunately, I am unwilling to accept this and want to take the initiative to dig up these problems and deal with them."
"That's why there are two academies in the city, and there is a salt and iron monopoly!"
"But once these measures are activated, how could Feng Jie and others not know about it?"
"And once they know, they will definitely rebel!"
At this point, Ying Yuan smiled playfully and spoke without turning his head.
"For a noble family to become an aristocratic family, they actually rely mainly on three things."
"The first is power, the second is wealth, and the third, what do you think it is, Cao Shen?"
When Ying Yuan said this, he deliberately stopped and turned to look at Cao Shen.
Obviously, this was a test for the "prime minister talent" that he had selected.
Cao Shen was stunned at first, then after a little thought, he said decisively: "The third one is soldiers!"
"These nobles have become aristocratic families, and they all raise their own private soldiers!"
Hearing this answer, Ying Yuan nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Obviously, the fact that Cao Shen was able to see these things so quickly proves that he does have talent.
But I have too little experience, so I am a little immature.
I still need more experience in the future!
"That's right! It's the private soldiers!"
"Private soldiers can cause big trouble at critical moments!"
"Although I can use my power as regent to mobilize the army, I am still constrained."
"I need to explain to my father and the courtiers, otherwise everyone will be afraid!"
"In this case, I find the Wang family even more useful!"
When Ying Yuan said this, he had a warm smile on his face, but when Cao Shen saw it, he shuddered suddenly.
Oh my god...
You big shots are really ruthless and fierce.
You actually plotted against General Wang's son, and you even started with his granddaughter.
Cao Shen, who had been to the palace once, knew that General Wang’s weak spot was the noble lady of the Wang family.
"Sir... this... this... are you... having some... something?"
Cao Shen's old face turned red, and he finally asked the question.
Obviously, Cao Shen, who had just arrived at the court, was somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of calculating behavior.
