Chapter 29: Inspirational gigolo, Yan Le!

"Sir, what are you talking about!"

"How could the Imperial Chariot Officer find fault with you, let alone bully you?"

Upon hearing Ying Yuan's words, one person immediately stood up anxiously and spoke quickly.

Everyone looked over and immediately showed disdain on their faces.

Because this person's name is Yan Le, the current magistrate of Xianyang.

His other identity is Zhao Gao's son-in-law.

Living off a gigolo is something that is looked down upon by men, let alone living off a eunuch?

Anyone who can enter the Qilin Palace is one of the top talents of this era, but it is really embarrassing for him to serve in the same dynasty as Yan Le.

Ying Yuan squinted his eyes slightly and it took some effort for him to see Yan Le.

There is no way, he is the young master of the current dynasty and is in charge of government affairs, so his position is naturally at the front.

Even someone like Yan Le, although he was the magistrate of Xianyang, was still not important enough to be considered an important official in the court.

Not to mention anything else, just for the position of Nine Ministers, Yan Le would have to climb two more levels before he could barely reach it.

but
Ying Yuan still had an impression of Yan Le.

After all, it was this guy who killed Hu Hai in the end.

The four words "being infamous for eternity" could not be more appropriate for this father-in-law and son-in-law.

"You are. questioning?"

Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly.

When these words were spoken, all the ministers in the court were stunned. They wondered why the usually kind Sixth Young Master suddenly became so cold.

"I dare not,"

When Yan Le heard this, he instinctively softened.

He was anxious just now, but if we really talk about status, he, Yan Le, was not a meritorious official who had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, so how could he be compared with Ying Yuan?
What's more, even Wang Jian had to be polite to Ying Yuan on the surface.

This,
It is the huge gap between the monarch and his subjects!
"Humph."

Ying Yuan snorted coldly, and then continued to face His Majesty the First Emperor.

This brief turn of the head, from coldness to grievance, was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.

Even many veteran officials who were well versed in the art of court politics could not help but sigh inwardly when they saw Gongzi Yuan's "acting skills".

Isn’t this ability to hide emotions a kind of talent?

"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged! Zhao Gao has truly humiliated me."

"Today, I woke up very early, thinking about coming to the court as soon as possible. I hope the court will start earlier so that I can report an extremely important matter."

"But Zhao Gao is here."

Ying Yuan spoke slightly faster and began to report.

Everyone simply ignored the nonsense in the middle. Given Gongzi Yuan's personality, he was eager for the court meeting to start earlier?
The fact that he didn't arrive late shows that the Sixth Young Master has a sense of responsibility.

As for what important matter it was, although the ministers had some doubts in their hearts, they just put it aside for the time being and prepared to listen to what Ying Yuan had to say.

"When Zhao Gao arrived, he reminded me to go to court early. If I delayed the court meeting, it would be embarrassing."

Ying Yuan spoke truthfully.

"Sir, I, the Commander of the Yuezhong Chariot House, reminded you to go to court earlier. This is a good intention, not a grudge."

Xianyang magistrate Yan Le seemed to have caught the opportunity and spoke quickly. Now that his father-in-law was not around, although he did not know the reason, he still had to speak well for him.

After all, in the court, his father-in-law is his biggest supporter for promotion.

To please others now is just for the sake of a bright career in the future.

Ying Yuan looked at Yan Le, and the murderous intent that had been temporarily suppressed suddenly surged up.

It seems that this kid is nothing! This bastard must not be allowed to stay!
I was thinking of taking it slow, but you came here and bumped into the wound?
"What the Xianyang magistrate said is correct,"

"The reminder is naturally well-intentioned, and it can't be said to be excessive to find fault."

Ying Yuan said calmly: "But the Imperial Chariot Officer is a eunuch, and I am a young master of the current dynasty. How can we be too close to each other?"

After these words were spoken, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly became strange.

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Young Master looks lazy on weekdays, but he is actually clear about some of the tricks in the court.

It is not prohibited by law for a eunuch to be on good terms with a young master without the special permission of His Majesty, but it is also a big taboo.

Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong both frowned at the same time, feeling that something was wrong.

Could it be that even Zhao Gao has taken a fancy to the Sixth Prince Ying Yuan and is showing his goodwill to him?
If these two people join forces, even though Prince Fusu is the eldest prince, he will be in danger!

However, Ying Yuan continued, "Under such circumstances, this young master must make things clear."

"The Imperial Chariot Officer kindly reminded me, so I will reward him."

"Rewards and punishments are clear, this is the custom of our Great Qin!"

After these words were spoken, many people nodded secretly.

Gongzi Yuan really did a great job on this matter.

As long as it is a reward, it must be recorded, and there will be no issue of personal relationships.

Keeping a distance is the best thing to do in this situation!

"Then Yuan'er, what reward did you give Zhao Gao?"

"Why did you kill him?"

On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Ying Yuan.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Qilin Hall was instantly frozen!
All the civil and military officials had different expressions, as if they were all wondering if there was something wrong with their ears!
and many more!

What is your majesty talking about?
Prince Yuan killed the Imperial Chariot Officer Zhao Gao?
Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong, who were originally worried, suddenly had frozen expressions!

Just now they were still worried that Ying Yuan and Zhao Gao would join forces to pose a threat to Fusu, but how come according to the words of His Majesty the First Emperor, Prince Yuan directly killed Zhao Gao?
This... changed too fast. Their brains felt a little hot and they couldn't react!

On the contrary, Yan Le was stunned at first, then angry, and then his expression was forced to become gloomy, his eyes still full of resentment as he looked at Ying Yuan.

His father-in-law, his supporter in the court, was killed by Ying Yuan?
At this moment, he even felt that the sky, which had just risen from the sun, had turned dark!

Although he had already risen to the position of Xianyang Magistrate, Yan Le knew his own limitations. Without Zhao Gao's support, he would only be a county magistrate.

now,

His career was ruined by this Young Master Yuan, how could he not be angry?
However.
Under such circumstances, Yan Le, who was furious, suddenly calmed down!
Maybe this is my chance?

My father-in-law is dead, but his close associate, Prince Hu Hai, has lost his backbone!
If he could severely defeat this Young Master Yuan in the court, not only would he be able to gain a good reputation, but he could also smoothly inherit his father-in-law's political resources and truly transform himself from a chess piece into a chess player who was in charge of the court!
At this moment, Yan Le felt that his whole body was boiling!
"Father, I have awarded the Imperial Chariot Officer the title of the Emperor, and have him beaten to death."

"But Zhao Gao not only did not thank me for my kindness, but instead wanted to escape."

"I have no choice but to punish him with a cane to death."

Ying Yuan looked calm and spoke slowly.
