Chapter 216 Li Si and Meng Tian's Return of Favor

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

Accompanied by a familiar shout, the ministers who had been blowing in the cold wind for more than half an hour were finally allowed to enter.

As soon as he entered the Qilin Hall, Feng Jie looked at the familiar figure on the high platform with a gloomy face.

At this moment, looking at the Prince Regent who looked harmless and had a smile as gentle as spring breeze as usual, Feng Jie suddenly felt his scalp tingling from the bottom of his heart.

This is the young man who doesn't look ruthless or fierce at all.

Last night, all the death warriors that their noble families had raised for many years were completely wiped out.

Similarly, it was this young man, who looked no different from a gentle gentleman, who had pushed their family to its current state step by step.

When Feng Jie thought about the officials of the aristocratic families saying goodbye to the court today, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

"Your subjects, we greet you, sir!"

"Your subjects, we greet you, sir!"

"Your subjects, we greet you, sir!"

"."

The sound of the mountains roared, and Ying Yuan raised his hand and whispered, "Get up!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Watching all the officials return to their seats after the ceremony, Ying Yuan habitually glanced at the officials.

Tsk tsk, why do I like these people so much today?
Maybe it’s because I slept a little longer today?
I don’t know, as long as I feel happy.

When Ying Yuan's eyes fell on Feng Jie, he suddenly remembered a detail reported by the Jinyiwei in their daily reports.

That is, the incident of Feng Jie, the current Censor Feng, who committed ten crimes at a time, has not yet passed.

As a result, according to the latest results, three breaths!

My goodness, when Ying Yuan saw this report, he almost laughed out loud on the spot.

It can be seen that the person who was monitoring and writing the report was probably a sinister person.

Otherwise, there would be no one to calculate this time.

Tsk tsk, Ying Yuan had an idea at that time, if he suddenly found his nose itchy and wanted to sneeze.

If we need to prepare for the battle before fighting, it will probably take more than three breaths.

It seems that the speed at which Censor Feng handles this matter is now as fast as sneezing?
Tsk tsk, if that's really the case, why bother taking off clothes? Isn't it too much trouble?
"Is there anything suitable to play today?"

No matter how many years have passed in your mind, you still have to deal with the tasks of the court seriously first.

Unexpectedly, the left prime minister Li Si, who had remained silent since Ying Yuan became regent, suddenly stood up.

"My Lord, I am old and frail, and I am not able to cope with the increasingly busy political affairs!"

"But, this time when General Wang Li led the army to fight back against the Xiongnu invaders, my son Li You was also among them."

"Therefore, firstly to avoid it, and secondly to help me solve the problem, I ask Master Ying Yuan Feng Chang Xiao He to assist me in handling the logistics deployment of the army against the Xiongnu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Ying Yuan even opened his mouth, all the court officials looked at Li Si and cursed him in their hearts.

Old fox!
It was clearly a matter of returning a favour, but this old fox made it sound so flawless!
Even if you knew clearly that this matter was because Ying Yuan promoted Li You and gave him the qualifications to take advantage of military merits and interfere in the military, that's why Li Si spoke up.

After all, in the court, what matters is give and take.

If you only enjoy the benefits without giving anything in return, you will break the tacit understanding among everyone.

That would lead to being attacked by everyone.

But it was such an obvious deal, but Li Si used the most normal reasons such as taboo and old age to put it on the table. Moreover, what position does Xiao He hold now?
Fengchang!
The head of the Nine Ministers!
It's not a transfer of his position, he's just here to "help out". This is certainly a hidden promotion and a reward, but on the surface, there is nothing.

From this, we can see that Li Si's methods are superb.

The exchange of interests can make it so that people cannot find any fault with it on the surface!
With this technique, perhaps only a few people in the entire Qin court could barely do it.

Moreover, it is not just Li Si who wants to exchange interests with Ying Yuan.

Just as Li Si finished speaking, Meng Tian also stood up.

"Your Excellency, I second the motion!"

"In my opinion, Prime Minister Li is the cornerstone of our Great Qin court, and now he is also shouldering the responsibilities of the left and right prime ministers."

"Although I have outstanding abilities and can handle the situation with ease, this matter cannot continue in the long run."

"After all, we can't let Li Xiang be as exhausted as Feng Quji and vomit blood on the spot!"

"Therefore, I agree that Xiao He should assist Prime Minister Li in coordinating logistics!"

Well, Meng Tian has completely followed in Li Si's footsteps and started to "return the favor".

When Ying Yuan saw that the two of them had finished speaking, he didn't even bother to ask for other people's opinions.

After all, it is not a "big deal". It neither involves personnel arrangements nor the mobilization of soldiers or the use of money and food. So what is the big deal?

"Well, both of you have a point. In that case, Xiao He, you should follow Li Xiang and learn well!"

"The Qin army has always been invincible, and the credit for that goes to the logistics department."

"Don't bring disgrace upon the reputation of my Great Qin!"

At this time, Feng Jie, who was sitting upright in his seat, was so furious when he saw the scene in front of him that his hair stood on end and his face turned purple with anger.

The Feng family has lost its power!
Feng Jie has never felt this so deeply as he does now.

But at this moment, he understood.

Take a look!
Whether it was Ying Yuan or Meng Tian, ​​they casually mocked their fathers as if they were making light of it.

What does this prove?
This proves that they don’t care at all whether the Feng family is unhappy or dissatisfied!

"Yes! Xiao He accepts the order!"

Xiao He had no intention of hiding his surprise. He just stood up and bowed to accept the order.

In fact, the chips that Li Si brought out this time really caught Xiao He's eyes.

Because what he wanted to learn most was Li Si's method of logistics and food allocation!

As early as when the First Emperor swept across the six kingdoms, when others were paying attention to the invincibility of Wang Jian and his son, Xiao He keenly turned his attention to the background.

Because he knew that he was not a commander and could not be a commander, he was just a civil official.

Because of this, he was very supportive of the entire Qin army.

Li Si, who was responsible for the unification of the Qin Dynasty and whose logistics were always well-organized no matter how the war went, was particularly interested in it!

However, in this era when knowledge is extremely precious, how could anyone other than the closest person be able to see Li Si's unfathomable methods?
Now, the opportunity has come.

Li Si ignored the excited Xiao He and sat down with a calm face, as if he came here today just for this matter.

However, after seeing Li Si and Xiao He sitting down, Ying Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the court officials with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, do you have anything else to do today?"
