Chapter 218 General Wang, you have to stand up!
To Li Si, Wang Jian was just an old scoundrel and a jerk.

At the beginning, the two of them just maintained opposition tacitly.

After all, both of them were the most trusted ministers of the First Emperor, and could even be said to represent the pinnacle of both civil and military officials respectively.

If they could get along harmoniously with each other, who would be able to sleep well?

Therefore, the two of them gradually evolved from quarreling and arguing at the beginning to a state of incompatibility.

But as they were doing it, they discovered.

Damn it, that old fox/bastard over there isn't just pretending to be so annoying, he is really that annoying.

Then, get him!

Therefore, with the ambiguous support of the two men, the officials under their jurisdiction kept to themselves and even frequently fought with each other in court meetings.

But in fact, on the surface, you call me an old fox and I call you an old bastard.

But behind this, it’s a 50-50 mix of acting and sincerity.

But I have to say, after acting for so long, I have somewhat gotten into the role.

At least, now seeing the angry look of Wang Jian, the old bastard, Li Si felt happy instinctively.

Although he couldn't laugh out loud, it didn't stop him from rolling on the ground laughing in his heart.

Wang Jian came silently to his seat in the front, lifted his skirt and sat down. He was too lazy to pretend to be old and frail as usual, and asked directly.

"Sir, I heard a series of resignations outside the palace. Is there something going on?"

Ying Yuan listened to Wang Jian speaking first and answered casually.

"Oh? It's quite rare for General Wang to show his concern for government affairs today!"

"However, what happened just now was nothing serious. It was just a bunch of good-for-nothings who didn't want to continue to hang around in the court."

"I am just about to speak!"

Looking at Wang Jian, who was completely different from the past, Ying Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Tsk tsk, you are really getting angry!
It's right to get angry!
If you don't get angry, then all the things that happened between me and Wang Xi before would have been in vain, right?
Looking at the performance now, well, it means that I found the right 'gap'.

The most reliable approach would be to start with Wang Xi.

In fact, if there were any other ways, Ying Yuan would not have done things to this extent.

But Wang Jian, although he was born a military general and was an ever-victorious general, he was actually a top-notch person who lived in seclusion.

It was so rare that even history books recorded it.

For this kind of people, the idea of ​​​​sincerity is deeply rooted in their bones.

There is nothing else to say. The main point is to protect yourself and show weakness to the enemy.

But what Ying Yuan needs is not a Wang Jian who hides aside and does not say a word.

What he wants is a general who can wave the flag and cheer for him in the process of realizing his ambitions;

When he is in his prime, he can stand up and become a top tool to support the world!
So, without further ado, keep going!

But when Wang Jian heard Ying Yuan's words, he was suddenly stunned.

Only then did he turn his head seriously and take a look at the people who stood up to resign.

Got it!
Understood.

It turned out to be similar to what he had guessed before, all of them were trained by aristocratic families.

Even many of them are from aristocratic families.

Just at this moment, an official who had just resigned seemed too lazy to stand here and pretend to be like that. He simply bowed and said with a little impatience.

"Sir, please approve it as soon as possible so that we can leave as soon as possible!"

Obviously, these people knew very well that since they had left the officialdom, all the investment made by the noble families in them was useless.

What is useless is not just the resources that were previously invested.

These people are equally useless.

Fortunately, over the years, these people have accumulated some wealth.

I'm not worried about having no food to eat in the future, but I'm worried about losing my status and future.

But, what can they do?

After all, their rise was helped by the aristocratic families.

Now, it’s just a matter of returning.

But what they didn't notice was that as soon as he said this, Feng Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because Feng Jie suddenly discovered that the original deadlock seemed to have changed again.

If the situation was the same as before, where Ying Yuan was in complete control of everything, then these people would have resigned today.

After all, there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

But...Wang Jian is here.

Although Wang Jian is usually quiet, he is still a big shot in the court and one of the most meritorious ministers in the Qin Dynasty.

His words are very important.

Especially when it comes to the imperial court, so many people resigning at once would be destabilizing for the Qin Dynasty.

How could an old general and important official like Wang Jian stand by and watch?
After thinking this through, Feng Jie stepped forward without hesitation, glanced at Wang Jian, and said with his head held high:
"Sir Yuanrong, all of you are the backbone of our Great Qin. How can we let you go so easily?"

"Please think twice, Master Yuan, and don't let the Qin court become a farce where no one is available!"

After speaking to Ying Yuan, Feng Jie didn't give anyone else a chance to interrupt. He turned around and looked at Wang Jian.

"General Wang, you are the ballast stone of our Great Qin Dynasty!"

"You have to help this young master out while he's serving as regent!"

"Now that so many officials have resigned, how will you explain this to His Majesty?"

As soon as Feng Jie said this, the eyes of all the officials who had just been waiting to be dismissed from office and deprived of their titles with despair on their faces suddenly brightened.

If the occasion had not been inappropriate, they would have cheered.

He is worthy of being the Feng family’s talented son and the leader of the aristocratic family!

Wow, such elegance, such resourcefulness, such decisiveness...

Everyone knows the situation behind this matter.

Therefore, even though there was originally no chance of winning, they managed to find a glimmer of hope by utilizing the existing conditions.

How could they not be happy and excited?

After all, if you can become an official, who would be willing to stay at home?

Besides, there is a chance of winning this matter.

If Wang Jian really spoke, then even though Ying Yuan is now the prince regent, he cannot just turn a blind eye.

The most interesting thing is that Wang Jian spoke, and that was Wang Jian’s business.

As for these noble families, they have already done what they should do, such as resigning from office and apologizing.

Then if Ying Yuan wants to cause trouble afterwards, we will have something to say, right?
For a moment, all the officials who were originally standing there "waiting to die" looked at Wang Jian and Feng Jie with eager faces.

Obviously, for them, who would be willing to resign as long as they can see hope?
So, in a flash, the entire court was in turmoil again, and everyone was waiting for Wang Jian's speech.
