"Peace!"
Ying Zheng gave a stern shout and threw a threatening look at the young eunuch guarding the door.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The little…the little master is too fast!”
The young eunuch received the look and quickly admitted his mistake.
In fact, even he himself did not know how the Little Lord had entered the house!
From the moment he saw the Little Lord's figure from afar to the moment he entered the door, it was only a matter of an instant.
His figure flashed twice, and the Little Lord's voice sounded in the hall. After she reacted, she immediately followed him in. In the end, it became like this!
"Get lost!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The little eunuch felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly left the White Marsh Hall.
He was still wondering how the Little Lord managed to get in.
Ying Pingan's lips curled up as he stood in the hall happily.
Needless to say, this Wind Riding Invisibility was very useful.
Ordinary people could forget about catching up!
"Humph! Ping 'an, apologize to Minister Chang!”
Seeing Ying Ping 'an's delighted look, Ying Zheng's anger rose even higher.
"Sigh…! The young master was talented, but unfortunately, he did not respect his teacher!”
"That's right! No matter how talented he was, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things without anyone to teach him!”
All the ministers started to discuss. This time, everyone was on Zhang Yuan's side.
"I don't know what I did wrong…?”
Ying Pingan straightened his neck, his face full of unwillingness." This morning, your son found a nest of little birds on the jujube tree in front of the door. Two of them mischievously crawled out, so your son climbed up the tree and put them back into the nest!”
"At this moment, Master came and said that if I didn't go down, he would beat me with a ferule. So I prepared a refined iron ferule for Master to admonish me if I didn't listen!”
"Father also knows that my strength is greater than other children. If not, how can I study well?”
"The iron ferule was too big, so I twisted it into a fried dough twist and handed it to Master. Then, Master ran away!”
"Father, forgive me. I really don't know why master ran away, and I don't know where he went wrong!”
As he spoke, Ying Pingan's tears started to fall.
This acting skill was learned from that old fellow Zhao Gao back in Qu 'a!
"I see!"
Everyone was enlightened.
It turned out that this old man was frightened by the strength of the Little Lord's hand and not because the Little Lord was mischievous!
"How shameless. You're a coward, yet you're blaming the Little Lord for your mistakes!”
"If it weren't for the young master's explanation, we would have misunderstood!”
"In my opinion, not only is the Little Lord not wrong, but he also has a benevolent heart that should be rewarded!”
……
After Ying Pingan's words, the atmosphere in the Imperial Court immediately changed. Everyone started to lean towards Ying Pingan, while looking at Zhang Yuan with disdain.
Even Ying Zheng's gloomy expression softened.
"Zhang Yuan, is it as Ping 'an said?”
"Er…it's…it's just as the young master said!”
Zhang Yuan's face turned red and he lowered his head, his body trembling even more.
If His Majesty were to be calculative, it was possible that he would be punished for deceiving the emperor!
"Humph!"
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve, rolled his eyes, and began to think about how to deal with this old man.
"Father, don't blame Master. Master is old, maybe he left because he wasn't feeling well!”
Just as everyone was about to watch the show, Ying Pingan spoke up to plead for mercy," Actually, this matter should be blamed on Father!”
"Blame me…?" Ying Zheng pointed at his own nose with a dumbfounded look.
He wasn't involved in the whole thing, so how could he blame himself?
The other officials were also shocked.
They all knew what kind of temper their Emperor had. Who would dare to say anything against the Emperor?
And this kid actually dared to openly say that he blamed His Majesty?
"That's right!"
Ying Pingan nodded his head firmly," Master attends court every morning, receives the salary of the imperial court, and does things for the imperial court. But one day, he will grow old. Since he is old, then he should let them enjoy their old age and no longer work hard for the country!”
"Hiss…"
As soon as Ying Pingan finished speaking, everyone present gasped.
This was asking His Majesty to kill the crafty rabbit and cook the lackey!
He used people when he was young, but when he was old, he was chased out of the court!
Who would be willing to become an official in the future?
" Ping 'an, don't mess around…!"
" All of you have made great contributions to the imperial court. How can you be dismissed just like that?" Ying Zheng shouted. Moreover, the newcomers are inexperienced, so Great Qin still needs this old official to take charge!”
"Father, your son said retirement, not dismissal. There is a huge difference between the two!”
"What's the difference?"
" Retiring means that one's achievements are complete and that one will no longer be in court. However, the imperial court will still continue to give them a salary. It doesn't need to be too much, as long as it's enough for their livelihood. This way, the officials will be able to live in peace in their later years, and their lives will be guaranteed…!”
Ying Pingan had his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth in the hall. Everyone's gaze followed him back and forth as he said," As for the young officials who are inexperienced, we can set up a cabinet and hire those who are knowledgeable but have reached the age of retirement to be advisors. They will be given the title of cabinet scholars, but they will not have any real power. If the young officials encounter any problems, they can go to them for discussion!”
"Hmm? It seems interesting!"
After some explanation, Ying Zheng's interest was piqued.
"But this will increase the burden on the Imperial Court!”
The right prime minister Feng Quji cupped his hands and reported to the emperor.
"That's right. The annual tax revenue of the imperial court is not much to begin with. If we increase it again, it won't be enough to deal with emergencies!”Another old official nodded in agreement.
"If you don't have money, then make money! The imperial court could not remain stagnant. They needed to add new blood and fresh insights. Only then could they go further!”
Ying Pingan was like a wise old man, speaking clearly and logically.
"Imperial Brother, you make it sound so easy. How does the Imperial Court make money? The Imperial Court's money came from the commoners 'taxes. Only when the commoners had money could the Imperial Court have money. Now that Great Qin had just stopped fighting and was recuperating, the commoners did not have much food left, so the Imperial Court could not do anything about it.”
A man in his twenties among the princes said in a strange tone.
This man was Ying Zheng's third son, Ying Yuan, born to Lady Ding.
Originally, other than Fu Su and Huhai, he was the most likely to become the Crown Prince!
Now, there was suddenly a mischievous Little Seventeen who received everyone's praise the moment he entered the palace. It would be strange if he felt comfortable in his heart.
"Why can't the Imperial Court make money? Even if the imperial court did not make money, they would find a way to make the commoners make money. If the commoners had money, the imperial court would naturally have money!”
"Besides, the salary of a retired official doesn't cost much!”
"Is the new blood more important, or is the retirement salary for the old minister more important?”
Ying Pingan didn't care about anything and immediately retorted.
"Alright, the more we talk, the further we go. Let's put this matter aside for now!”
Ying Zheng slammed the table and stopped the two from quarreling.
It was originally a matter of the country, but in the end, the two brothers quarreled. It was inevitable that the other ministers would see them as a joke!
