Chapter 99 Feng Jie jumps out to cause trouble
Even Ying Yuan was so surprised, let alone others.

It can be said that no one expected that Feng Jie would actually criticize Wang Jian.

You know, that was Wang Jian.

Although Wang Jian was just a simple general, he was usually taciturn and hardly spoke at court meetings.

But in fact, no one underestimated this great general.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about his record of single-handedly destroying four kingdoms during the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

That is the reputation that will be passed down even after thousands of years.

Not to mention, the Wang family has been rooted in the military for three generations.

Although they seem low-key and conceal their shortcomings, in fact, their family is the best in the Qin army.

Wang Jian's prestige in the army was that he was truly the best in the army.

Apart from the First Emperor, no one had a higher prestige in the army than Wang Jian.

Such a person can no longer be described as highly respected.

It can be said that as long as there is no direct conflict of interest, no one is willing to confront the Wang family.

Didn’t you see that now Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, has his eyes blazing with anger and is ready to roll up his sleeves and beat someone up?

Even Wang Jian, who usually dozed off with his eyes closed during court sessions, opened his eyes and looked at Feng Jie in surprise.

I guess Wang Jian is also thinking about it right now.

Did this kid take the wrong medicine?
No matter how surprised Ying Yuan was.

Anyway, since the impeachment was brought up in front of him, he naturally couldn't just ignore it.

He reluctantly tidied up the table in front of him, wiped his mouth, and then spoke.

"Well, impeaching General Wang Jian, tsk, still ignoring the people's livelihood?"

"Alright, let me first listen to the contents of the impeachment by Zhongshu Yeshi Feng Jie."

Feng Jie had obviously thought of everything before he stepped forward.

Therefore, facing the surprise, suspicion and other emotions of the crowd just now, he seemed particularly calm.

"Thank you, sir!"

"I impeach General Wang Jian for two crimes!"

"First, militarism!"

"My Great Qin has now unified the world. No matter whether it is the barbarians within the borders or outside the borders, they all bow down before the might of my Great Qin army!"

"But the general has now started recruiting and training soldiers again. Isn't this warmongering?"

“Second, they ignore people’s livelihood!”

"As far as I know, the general's newly formed army not only consumes a lot of food and supplies, but also requires the use of a large number of craftsmen and blacksmiths!"

"Nowadays, the Great Qin territory is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. Many places are in urgent need of craftsmen, and countless people are starving for food."

"The general's move is undoubtedly a detriment to the Qin Empire!"

"Your servant Feng Jie has been taught by my father since he was young, and is loyal to the Qin Empire."

"Therefore, even if I will offend the general by impeaching him, I can't bear it!"

"Please, Prince Regent, for the sake of my impartiality, handle this matter quickly!"

When Ying Yuan heard what Feng Jie said, his expression was quite distorted.

Not that much else.

The main problem is the weird smell of tea, which is a bit too strong.

In fact, Ying Yuan already understood after hearing Feng Jie say this.

Feng Jie was not targeting Wang Jian at all!
The person he was targeting was actually Ying Yuan who was sitting at the top!

After all, after his father was forced to "voluntarily" resign, the old Qin nobles and other people who originally respected the Feng family were already ready to make a move.

Who doesn’t want to be the boss?

The Feng family first failed to seize the official positions of the Zhao clan from Ying Yuan;
After that, Feng Quji even lost his position as the Left Prime Minister.

In this situation, if Feng Jie, the "brain trust" who was hiding behind the scenes, could not stand up and lead everyone. Either the Feng family completely withdrew from the original stage and let others take the lead to lead the old Qin nobles to continue moving forward;

Otherwise, the power of the old Qin nobles will eventually fall apart.

Obviously, Feng Jie had no choice!
He finally chose to stand up on his own.

As a way to stand up, he chose impeachment.

This is like establishing authority.

However, after much thought, he decided that it would be best to target Wang Jian.

After all, although Wang Jian had a high prestige, that was in the army.

If it were in the court, Wang Jian would have to be cautious.

In addition, it is also the most important point.

The Wang family is too close to Ying Yuan.

Whether it was Wang Li being assigned by Ying Yuan to go to Pei County to pick someone up, or Ying Yuan having many intimate conversations with the Wang family.

In Feng Jie's opinion, all these things show that the Wang family has completely stood on Ying Yuan's side.

Since Ying Yuan has already attacked the Feng family, they are definitely enemies.

There's nothing more to say then, just go for it.

"Sir, General Wang Jian is undoubtedly the best in the military, but the military cannot ignore the development of our Great Qin!"

"As far as I know, the amount of funding application submitted yesterday was simply shocking!"

"I am not saying that the Qin Dynasty does not want military force, but why spend so much money?"

"Please understand my painstaking efforts, my lord. I am also thinking about the overall interests of the Qin Empire!"

Looking at Feng Jie's expression of serving the country and the people, Ying Yuan felt a little annoyed.

Is this guy addicted to acting?
But Wang Jian still stood there without saying a word.

There was no argument or rebuttal. Just pretended not to hear and acted as if you could do whatever you want.

But Wang Ben on the side had really red eyes and his neck became thicker.

His whole face turned red, and he rolled up his sleeves while scolding.

"Feng Jie, you know nothing!"

"Not only does our Great Qin have to deal with the Northern Di cavalry, but we also have to deal with the riots of the Southern Barbarians. Do you know how much military power this has consumed?"

"If there is no strong cavalry to take over, and we only have the original infantry to face the Beidi cavalry, we can only defend to the death, without even the ability to counterattack."

"You don't know anything about the military, what the hell are you talking about here?"

Feng Jie was obviously prepared for Wang Ben's words. He looked at Wang Ben with a look of "surprise".

"What Tong Wu Hou said is not right!"

"Since these infantrymen are able to defend to the death, why don't they defend to the death first?"

"I'm not saying that we should keep those barbarians in the north, but we should give priority to developing the country in the next few years!"

"Wouldn't it be better for us to train our troops and go to war after the people's livelihood in the country is stable and all industries are booming?"

Obviously, Feng Jie is changing the concept.

In other words, in Feng Jie's eyes, these little commotions caused by Beidi are actually of no importance.

Isn't it enough as long as we can guard the border and not cause any major trouble?

Why do we have to form cavalry to fight head-on?

How much money would it cost to really conquer Beidi?

Besides, what’s the point of occupying that grassland?

Are we going to send the people of Qin over there to raise sheep and cattle?
Isn't that equivalent to exiling people?

Ying Yuan looked at Feng Jie who seemed a little proud, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

'This little bastard seems to be a little jumpy!'
