Chapter 57 Habitual Blame-shifting
At this moment, everyone in the court was no longer just looking at Feng Quji.

They were still secretly watching Ying Yuan.

In their opinion, this might be the first hurdle that Ying Yuan, the prince regent, will face.

After all, what Feng Quji proposed at this time was too open and aboveboard.

There is a shortage of people, so additional officials are needed.

It was natural for Feng Quji, the right prime minister, to raise this question.

But for Gongzi Yuan, who was attending court as the regent for the first time today, this was quite interesting.

If he failed to see Feng Quji's inner plan, he would lose points in front of His Majesty and the court officials.

If you see it but fail to handle it smoothly, you will also lose points;

Even if the matter was handled well and Feng Quji's intention to place a large number of people in power was defeated in one fell swoop, it would still at least lose points from Feng Quji.

It seems that in this case, no matter what Ying Yuan does, it will be wrong.

But... isn't this how a king grows up?

Ying Yuan glanced at Feng Quji and said with a look of relief.

"Prime Minister Feng is indeed a capable minister of the Qin Dynasty. He is indeed mature, prudent and to the point."

"However, does Minister Li have any opinion on this matter?"

These words were immediately thrown at Li Si.

Li Si, the left prime minister, was also a very smart man. How could he not see Feng Quji's thoughts?

But at this moment, he calmly bowed and said, "Master Yuanrong, I have no other opinion on this matter."

"If there are vacancies in the court and various departments, we should recruit talented people to fill them!"

"Now that Young Master Yuan is the regent, everything will naturally be decided by Young Master Yuan!"

Slip!

Ying Yuan secretly spat at Li Si in his heart.

The other court officials were a little confused at this time.

Could it be that Li Si didn't know Feng Quji's plan?
He's such a smart man, there's no way he couldn't see it.

But why did he just get away with it?
Doesn’t he have any disciples or old friends to include in the group?

There is one official position for each person, and it is not easy to suddenly have so many positions.

I don’t understand!

Ying Yuan didn't care about that. He just knocked on the table and spoke loudly.

"In that case, please trouble Prime Minister Feng to provide a list first!"

When Feng Quji heard this, he was so happy that his old face turned into a flower.

He took out a piece of silk from his sleeve pocket, held it up with both hands and said, "Master Yuan, please allow me to report. I have already made preparations for this matter. Please take a look at it."

Ying Yuan's mouth corners twitched unconsciously.

This old guy is quite calculating. He has prepared everything very early on.

However, Ying Yuan’s main product is a non-stick pan, he just waved his hand and said.

"I will not read it for the time being. Let Prime Minister Li review it!"

"After all, this matter is of great importance. The two prime ministers should discuss it first, and then I will make the decision!"

"Of course, if I feel that this matter cannot be carried out, I will submit it to my father for review!"

When Feng Quji heard this, his face turned stern and he looked at Li Si fiercely.

He felt that this guy was likely to interfere with the order in his hand.

However, just like his previous righteous request to add people, Ying Yuan's move was somewhat similar.

It is equally righteous and upright, and you cannot object even if you want to.

Feng Quji bowed in dissatisfaction and returned to the queue, but Ying Yuan suddenly turned his eyes and stared at Wang Jian who was standing beside him.

"General Wang, the Wang family has been loyal for generations and has a long history of family learning."

"The Qin Empire is short of manpower now, so it's time to release the treasures you've treasured for so many years to serve the country!"

"I wonder if General Wang can give me some face?" Wang Jian began to secretly groan in his heart when he heard this.

Why are you targeting our house?

Wang Ben on the side poked his father with excitement on his face.

Seeing that his father ignored him, he punched him hard twice.

When Wang Jian glared at his stupid son, Wang Ben was actually still grinning with his teeth bared.

He opened his mouth and made lip movements hurriedly.

Wang Jian kicked his son in annoyance, then walked out of the queue and bowed upwards.

"Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know who the treasure of my family that Young Master Yuan is talking about is."

Ying Yuan pointed at Wang Jian with a smile.

"Why is General Wang playing dumb with me?"

"Your grandson Wang Li has been taught by you personally since he was young. Not only is he proficient in military tactics and bravery, but I heard he is also far superior to ordinary people in politics."

"General Wang, you can't keep such a talented person hidden!"

"As the Qin Empire is booming, I hope General Wang will support us!"

Got it!
These words directly praised Lao Wang highly and even put him in a position of control.

Before they met, he said that he hoped the old king would give his son Yuan some face.

If I don't agree to this, wouldn't that be disrespectful?
Wang Jian's face turned bitter when he heard this, but in the end he could only agree reluctantly and said he would send his grandson Wang Li to Gongzi Yuan's house to await his instruction.

Ying Yuan knew that this was actually Wang Jian's strategy of retreating in order to advance.

After all, coming to my house to wait for my instruction was nothing more than running errands for me.

This way, there is no need to enter the court directly.

How cautious and fearful of death this must be.

However, it doesn’t matter as Ying Yuan has achieved such a result for the time being.

All he wanted was the Wang family's reputation as a family of military merit.

As for the rest, just plan it slowly.

Afterwards, all the daily affairs were reported in the court.

Although Ying Yuan has only been observing politics for a few days, he is by no means an unlearned person and he has a lot of experience.

What's more, he had at least heard of many of these things while observing politics these days.

It's not handled 100% properly, but it's definitely good enough to get a passing score.

After a long time, the court meeting finally ended.

Amid the shouts of "Farewell", Ying Yuan almost fled.

This morning meeting is so fucking tiring.

Ying Yuan ran away, but the others didn't care and left Qilin Hall in groups of three or four.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Wang Ben grabbed his father with a puzzled look on his face.

"Dad, why didn't you agree to let Master Yuan let Li'er take up a post?"

"Is it possible that running errands or doing odd jobs at Young Master Yuan's residence is better than being an official?"

Wang Jian habitually slapped his stupid son on the back of the neck in annoyance.

Snapped!
"As a father, do you want to kill Li'er?"

"My Wang family is already gaining popularity because both father and son were granted titles of nobility. Do you want Li'er to step forward as well?"

"Do you really think my royal family can fight against everyone?"

"Your head is filled with nuts instead of brain kernels!"

After saying that, he still felt unsatisfied and slapped him again.

After hearing this, Wang Ben touched the back of his head angrily.

He always felt that his father was too cautious.

There aren’t so many twists and turns!
