Chapter 31: Talking nonsense in front of the First Emperor!
"Speak now, Yuan'er."

In the inner hall, His Majesty the First Emperor sat upright, his eyes looking towards Ying Yuan.

Feng and Li Shuangxiang, the father and son of the Wang family, as well as Fusu and Yang Ye, who had just been "named" by Ying Yuan, all sat down here.

Ying Yuan did not sit down, but stood in the center of the inner hall. There was still no panic on his face, as if everything was under control.

Seeing this, even though Li Si did not have much impression of the Sixth Young Master, he could not help but secretly praise his "magnanimity" in his heart.

After all, staying calm when facing difficulties is also a reflection of one's ability.

Not to mention the warhorse suit that Gongzi Yuan took out yesterday, his ability to remain calm in times of crisis alone is already better than many ministers.

"Father, there is something I must report to you."

"Zhao Gao was not a loyal minister."

Ying Yuan's smile faded slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Zhao Gao has gathered his followers. Maybe someone in the court knows about this. Not to mention those far away, Yan Le alone was able to become the Xianyang magistrate because of his status as a son-in-law."

After these words were spoken, everyone nodded slightly.

Many people were disgusted by Zhao Gao's promotion of Yan Le, but it was just a matter of misusing public resources for personal gain. Speaking out about it at this moment would not convict Zhao Gao, but it would definitely help Gongzi Yuan save face.

"Keep talking."

Of course, this is not enough to convince.

Ying Yuan was not in a hurry. He just looked at Fusu and said slowly, "Zhao Gao has evil intentions and intends to make us brothers quarrel and cause a dispute among the royal family."

"This person told me about my brother's bad words. Although I ignored them, I became a little wary."

"I sent someone to the Eighteenth Brother's palace again, and indeed found that Zhao Gao also spoke ill of his brother in front of the Eighteenth Brother, and repeatedly talked about the importance of imperial power and the benefits of pleasure."

"Now, I, the Eighteenth Brother, have many disputes with my elder brother, and my elder brother previously proposed to appease the survivors of the old six kingdoms, and I, the Eighteenth Brother, also made the same suggestion to Father."

"I dare not speculate, but this is true. I hope your Majesty will understand!"

After these words were spoken, everyone's expression finally changed.

The dispute among royal family members is a taboo for His Majesty the First Emperor!
In the past, Cheng Jiao fought for the throne of King of Qin, but was defeated and died in prison.

Now Zhao Gao is actually bewitching the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai and repeatedly trying to sow discord among the princes of the royal family?

Fusu's expression changed slightly, and there was a hint of gloom and frustration in his eyes.

He asked himself, "I am good to all my brothers."

But I didn't expect that it was just Zhao Gao's instigation that would make the Eighteenth Brother behave like this.

However.
His Majesty the First Emperor's expression did not fluctuate at all, not even a hint of surprise. He just looked at Ying Yuan quietly.

It's like a mountain standing in front of Ying Yuan. If he wants to climb over it, he must come up with some real skills.

As soon as he saw his father's expression, Ying Yuan was startled and immediately understood.

The Black Dragon Guards are not here to eat and do nothing!
His father must have known about it a long time ago. As for not stopping him at all, which could even be described as "indulgence", it can be guessed that this was the emperor's intention. He used this stupid child, Hu Hai, to temper his brother and serve as a warning to him.

And at this moment, just looking at himself, he was obviously not satisfied with these made-up excuses.

"My Lord, Zhao Gao is indeed destined to die."

"Of course,"

"My lord just said that there is something important that concerns the fate of our Great Qin."

"If that's all, I won't ask any more questions."

At this moment, a voice sounded.

It was Li Si, the left prime minister of the current dynasty. He looked at Ying Yuan and spoke slowly.

As the Minister of Literature of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si was able to rise from a humble family to the position of Prime Minister. How sharp was his vision? Just by looking around, he understood that the current situation was still unfavorable to Gongzi Yuan!

What Zhao Gao did to sow discord between the brothers was only verbal. As for seeking confirmation from Hu Hai,
Even if His Majesty the First Emperor had verified it, what would be the use?
Instead, it would cause Fusu and Hu Hai to completely fall out with each other, and then it would really become a feud between brothers.

Ying Yuan glanced at Li Si and cursed him helplessly in his heart, "old fox".

It would be difficult to fool these tough guys who destroyed the six kingdoms without showing some real stuff.

"Your Majesty, I was originally going to report these to you. They are not the real reasons why I killed Zhao Gao."

"Kill him because..."

"this!"

Ying Yuan reached into his arms, took out something and showed it to everyone.

Everyone was slightly startled and looked up, only to see something in Ying Yuan's hand. It had a strange shape, one could even say it was ugly.

But there was a bit of dirt on it, which I had never seen before.

"Father, this is called sweet potato, and it is an agricultural product."

"This morning, Nong Lin, the leader of the peasant family, asked to see me and presented me with this."

"I believe this item is the lifeblood of our Great Qin State, so I am extremely delighted."

"Of course,"

"Zhao Gao was eavesdropping outside the door, and he actually came in."

"In order to protect the lifeblood of our Great Qin, I killed him. Please understand, Father!"

Ying Yuan spoke loudly, and lied without blushing or stuttering!

But
After these words were spoken, everyone's eyes trembled slightly, and then their faces were filled with suspicion!

This crop called sweet potato is the lifeline of the Qin Empire?
Gongzi Yuan, are you joking?
Even Wang Ben, the most reckless man, had some doubts at this moment.

Is this Young Master Yuan scared, so he starts talking nonsense?

"Sixth brother, please don't speak nonsense!"

Fusu spoke quickly, his face full of anxiety, and even glanced at the First Emperor.

What Ying Yuan said just now about Zhao Gao's instigation was not without effect. At least, Fusu discovered that his sixth brother was truly thinking about him.

Being able to find out so many things is already a rare achievement for a lazy sixth brother like himself. What else can he say?

At this moment, he just wanted to protect his younger brother.

"Please tell me clearly, sir! Why is this thing the lifeblood of our Great Qin?"

At this moment, Yang Ye, the Internal Secretary of Grain Administration, who had remained silent both in the court and in the inner hall, spoke!

As if it was an 'occupational disease', Yang Ye keenly felt that the thing called 'sweet potato' in Ying Yuan's hand was extremely extraordinary.

Now he wants to ask clearly.

Agricultural products are the lifeblood of a country!

This theory is difficult to be accepted in this era, because no matter whether it is the monarch, the ministers, or even the people, they all have a consensus at this time: wise people assisting wise monarchs are the foundation of a country's prosperity.

But Yang Ye is different.
He is in charge of money and food, and he knows what the people of the world want!
Ying Yuan glanced at Yang Ye, then raised the sweet potato in his hand slightly higher and spoke loudly:

"This thing can produce 3,000 kilograms per mu!"

"Is it the lifeblood of my Great Qin?"
