Chapter 37: Counterattack
The next day, Ying Yuan surprisingly did not arrive at the court on time. Instead, he arrived nearly ten breaths early, leaving everyone stunned.

When Dun Ruo saw Ying Yuan's figure, she was so moved that she almost cried.

This Sixth Young Master really gives me face!
Although I didn’t arrive much earlier, it was not a late arrival, right?
"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly.

Dun Ruo even whispered softly when Ying Yuan walked into the Qilin Hall: "Thank you, young master."

This sentence made Ying Yuan confused.

Why are you thanking me? I came to see how your brother is doing. I heard you didn't sleep well last night?
After Ying Yuan sat down, he looked at Fusu.

Sure enough, he looked dazed and dispirited, as if his father had died.

Ahem! It’s a bit filial, but that’s what I mean anyway.

Ying Yuan didn't try to persuade him, but just smiled happily.

As a man, you have to break the shackles of your own thoughts with one punch in order to grow up.

Ordinary families have inferior fathers, and the ideas imposed on them are not in line with the times.

Fusu became what he is today because his father was too powerful, and Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong taught him the wrong things.

Ying Yuan's "Lun Yu" powerful medicine was considered extremely cruel.

To be honest, if you really want to promote benevolence and righteousness, then treat the people well. Always thinking about showing favors to the remnants of the six kingdoms is just bullshit benevolence and righteousness!
The Qin Dynasty was in its sixth generation, and the world had just been united. The son was clamoring every day to divide the family business won by his father among those bastards lying under his feet next door. How could his father not be furious?
On the other hand, on the side of the military generals, Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben, both looked at Ying Yuan.

Yesterday, the Huben Camp was dispatched to select the fields for sweet potato planting.

Dispatching troops to protect farmland was the first time in history.

But both father and son were generals who actually fought on the front lines. They saw the difficulties of food and the people, and knew the importance of sweet potatoes.

Wang Jian even gave a warning last night, saying that if Wang Ben failed to protect him well, he would break one of his legs regardless of whether he was familiar with Wu Hou or not.

A great Qin official who had achieved the title of marquis through twenty military achievements was submissive and could only be suppressed by his father's bloodline.

"Dad, do you think Gong Ziyuan is really that powerful?"

Wang Ben scratched his head and asked hesitantly.

The War Horse Suit is already powerful enough, but then... another sweet potato pops up.

It was the farmers who offered it voluntarily!
No matter how stupid Wang Ben was, he knew the difference between offering tribute to a prince and offering tribute to the entire Qin Dynasty.

The fact that he could make choices among such interests was enough to show how important Ying Yuan was to the farmers.

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"But this Young Master Yuan is definitely not the idle and scoundrel person as previously rumored."

"Perhaps, this is a way to keep a low profile."

At this point, Wang Jian's face froze, and he warned in a gentle and serious voice: "Ben'er, remember, unless it is official business, you must stay away from this Gongzi Yuan."

"The Wang family doesn't need achievements, but if they are even slightly involved in the royal family dispute, the Wang family will be doomed!"

Wang Jian’s words were extremely serious!
When Cheng Jiao rebelled in the past, Wang Jian saw it all.

It was also because of this rebellion that Wang Jian, as a young general, led troops to rescue and quell the rebellion, and was able to rise rapidly in the military.

The dispute among the royal family is like a butcher's knife. Even royal family members can hardly escape the disaster, let alone outsiders?
Wang Jian saw this very clearly.

When Wang Ben heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

My father has a clear understanding of the situation, so all I have to do is do as he says.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment, the proclamation sounded. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live forever!"

"."

Amid the cheers of civil and military officials, His Majesty the First Emperor slowly walked out from behind the screen and sat upright on the main throne.

His eyes swept across and fell on Fusu's face.

Last night, the incident of his eldest son's inappropriate shouting had been reported to him.

Even His Majesty the First Emperor took a second look at it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Black Dragon Guards will report the reason after the court session.

"What's the important matter today?"

His Majesty the First Emperor followed the custom and asked the question calmly.

Feng Quji glanced at Li Si, who smiled modestly but did not stand up.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Feng Quji's lips curled up slightly, and then he slowly stood up and reported: "After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, I sorted out the memorials."

"Later, the secretary of the Xianyang government office requested to see him and reported the crimes of Xianyang Magistrate Yan Le."

"Three crimes in total!"

"The first is corruption. Zi ordered the officials of Xianyang government office to go to the home of Zhang Cheng, a wealthy merchant in Xianyang, and summon Zhang Cheng on the grounds that the shop and the people in the government office were causing trouble, and demanded 500 yuan."

"Second, to shield. Cheng Yi, the owner of a rice shop in the West Market of Xianyang, had high rice prices, but no one dared to open a rice shop in the West Market. It was Yan Le who took money from Cheng Yi, and Cheng Yi sent his guards to smash and destroy other newly opened rice shops. The Xianyang police, instructed by Yan Le, ignored it."

"Third, bribery! After the death of Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, I checked his property specifications as usual, but found a lot of property. After interrogation, I found that Yan Le had given a lot of bribes!"

"I present these three crimes, please Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Feng Quji took out a memorial from his arms, held it high above his head, and presented it to Dun Ruo.

After these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned at first, and then looked at Yan Le with meaningful eyes.

At this moment, Yan Le's legs were already trembling and sweat was pouring down his body.

Liquidation!

This is the cruelty in the court.

When Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Chariots, fell from power, and even the First Emperor acknowledged in another way that Ying Yuan had killed Zhao Gao, it was destined that Zhao Gao's followers would be liquidated!
After the liquidation, there will be vacant official positions in the court. These are all lucrative positions. How could Feng Quji not seize such an opportunity?
As for why Yan Le was chosen first?
Very simple.

The old fox Feng Quji is trying to show goodwill to Gongzi Yuan in another way!
The warhorse suit, plus yesterday's sweet potatoes. It can be said that if the yield per mu can reach 3,000 kilograms as Ying Yuan said, his status as the Sixth Prince of the Qin Dynasty will definitely rise.

Yan Le was provoking Feng Quji yesterday without thinking of the consequences. Now Feng Quji is using Yan Le as an excuse. Isn't this also a way of showing goodwill to Ying Yuan?

It is like this in the court, everyone will look at which way the wind is blowing.

No one would offend two prime ministers for the sake of Yan Le, and might even offend one of the six most popular princes of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded at Feng Quji.

Things turned out just as he expected.

If you want to kill someone, you don't need to throw the stone yourself. You just need to slightly push the foundation stone of the wall that the person is leaning against.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. This saying is the truth in the court!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Yan Le fell to his knees with a thump, his whole body shaking like a sieve.
