Chapter 6 This matter has to be handled by my brother!
After the court was dismissed, the expressions of all the officials were extremely strange.
It wasn't a big deal that Gongzi Yuan left the court early, since he had never attended court before. The main thing was that the sentence "increase the combat effectiveness of the army by 10%" shocked the court too much.
But this matter cannot be discussed openly in the court. Everyone's heart feels itchy as if it is being scratched by millions of chicken claws.
As for this "itch", whether it is to see how the matter develops next, or to see Ying Yuan being punished tomorrow, there is no need to say more.
The noble families headed by Feng Quji did not make any comments on this matter and walked directly out of the Xianyang Palace.
The confidence that a noble family has in standing firm is not comparable to that of ordinary officials.
Fusu, on the contrary, was worried and even looked in the direction of Zhangtai Palace a few times, as if he was hesitating whether to say something to his father, so as to prevent his sixth brother from being punished too severely tomorrow.
"Sir, let's go."
Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong, who were standing behind Fusu, also spoke quickly.
"Teacher, should I go to Zhangtai Palace? Please don't take Sixth Brother's joke to heart, Father?"
If you are undecided, ask your teacher.
At this moment, Fusu could only ask his teacher, Chunyu Yue, about the hesitation in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Chun Yuyue frowned slightly, pretended to ponder for a while, and said, "Sir, I think it is inappropriate."
"Young Master Yuan said these words in the Qilin Palace this time, and he made an oath in front of the people of the world. If you go to the Zhangtai Palace now, His Majesty will surely be furious."
"A gentleman is all-embracing but not partial, while a villain is partial but not all-embracing. Your departure will offend His Majesty and you will also disregard the testimony of the civil and military officials."
Hearing Chunyu Yue's advice, Fusu shook his head and said, "But what if Sixth Brother really has no way to improve the strength of our Qin army tomorrow?"
"Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, which is the teaching of the ancient sages. How can I sit back and watch?"
Shusun Tong's eyes rolled slightly and he understood what Fusu meant.
To put it bluntly, Prince Fusu was protecting his younger brother from the perspective of an older brother.
At this moment, it was of no use for Chunyu Yue to use the affairs of the court to persuade him.
"hehe."
Shusun Tong chuckled, which attracted Fusu's puzzled look.
"Sir, what I think is different from what you think!"
"In my opinion, Young Master Yuan is full of confidence in the court this time, and it doesn't seem like he is just talking nonsense."
"Since you said that brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, then the elder brother should trust his younger brother, which is also a virtue!"
After saying this, Fusu recalled Ying Yuan's performance in the court, and he did feel a little confident.
But... improving the combat effectiveness of the army is something that even a god of war like General Wang is constantly working towards. How could his sixth brother possibly do it in just one day?
Seeing Fusu's final hesitation, Shusun Tong smiled and continued, "Besides,"
"My lord, you and Gongzi Yuan are brothers and sisters, so don't your majesty and Gongzi Yuan also have a deep father-son relationship?"
"Even if I really make a mistake tomorrow, I'm sure your majesty won't punish me too harshly."
"Master, rest assured!"
"If there is a mistake, correct it, warn and caution. If you just defend it, you will end up being inferior."
It is really useful to say this.
First, he used Ying Yuan's "confidence" to reassure Fusu, and then used the "father and son" relationship to show that His Majesty the First Emperor would not punish him severely.
"I see! Thank you both gentlemen for clearing up my confusion."
After some persuasion from the two of them, Fusu finally gave up.
"Sir, let's go to Juxian Hall and take a look."
"Recently, the nobles of the six countries in Xianyang City seem to be in a depressed mood." Shusun Tong said with a smile, which was considered a timely diversion of attention.
Fusu nodded slightly, and just as he was about to agree, he saw the imperial guard Tie Niu approaching, "My lord, just now Master Yuan said that after the court session, he would invite you to his palace for a chat. It seems that he wants to discuss something important for the Qin Dynasty."
Hearing this, Fusu was slightly startled, and then his face suddenly became serious. He turned to Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong and said, "Gentlemen, my sixth brother needs my help. You two gentlemen should go first to the Juxian Hall."
Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong looked at each other and both frowned slightly.
The two of them had the same worry in their hearts: Prince Fusu was too good to his younger brothers.
But they were only ministers after all, how could they have any say in Fusu's choice of where to go? They could only nod and agree: "Go, sir. We two will be in the Juxian Hall."
Fusu performed a half-disciple salute to the two of them, and then left with the guards.
Looking at Fusu, Chunyu Yue said, "Shusun, it is good that you are kind, but you are not on guard against other princes. If there is a dispute over the throne in the future."
Shusun Tong glanced at Chunyu Yue without saying anything. He just shook his head and walked out of the Xianyang Palace.
Inside the Sixth Prince’s palace.
Unlike the "anxious" and "impatient" guessed by outside officials, Ying Yuan was wearing a casual loose robe, lying on the couch with his eyes slightly closed, looking very comfortable.
If word of this got out, it would really confirm his reputation as a 'lazy young man'.
"Sixth brother! Sixth brother!"
Soon, a slightly anxious call was heard. It was Fusu who came hurriedly with Tieniu leading the way.
Along the way, Fusu threw aside the upright steps he usually adhered to and trotted along.
When he reached the palace, he actually heard a slight panting sound.
"Brother is here!"
Ying Yuan looked at Fusu who came in, chuckled, stood up, casually put on an outer robe, picked up the water cup and handed it over.
This series of movements is neither slow nor gentle, and one can tell at a glance that it is a state of mind cultivated through years of leisure.
Tie Niu, who was watching from the side, smacked his lips. If he had the same temperament as Gongzi Yuan, when he returned to the village during the Spring Festival, just by handing out water, I'm afraid all the pretty girls from miles around would come to him for a blind date.
Fusu took the water cup, drank half of it and put it down. Seeing Ying Yuan still in the same state, he was stunned: "Sixth brother, aren't you going to do something? Why are you still dressed like this?"
"Father only gave you one day!"
After saying this, Tie Niu quietly took two steps back and prepared to leave.
How could a mere guard like him eavesdrop on the conversation between the two young masters?
Unexpectedly, Ying Yuan suddenly said, "Tie Niu, you don't have to leave, just stay here."
Then, he looked at Fusu and said, "Brother, isn't this because I'm here to ask you to do something big?"
"To increase the combat power of the Qin army by 100%, I, the sixth brother, cannot do it alone!"
"This matter is up to you, brother!"
After these words were spoken, Tie Niu, who had originally paused, suddenly felt his eyes widen as he looked at Ying Yuan in front of him, even a little dazed!
At this moment, he began to doubt his ears!
To increase the combat power of the Qin army by 100%? Is this what Gongzi Yuan said about the great cause for Qin?
It’s too big! It’s really too big! This is too big to even think about!
He even wondered why there was light on Gongzi Yuan's body!
"I?"
When Fusu heard Ying Yuan's words, he was stunned for a moment!
