After a while, Zhao Gao walked in, respectfully bowed to Yingzheng who was watching the recital, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." ”

"Hmm."

Ying Zheng looked at the piece intently, and just hummed softly.

Zhao Gao arched his hand again, then walked to the door of the car and clapped his hands.

Soon a group of chamberlains came cautiously carrying all kinds of fine bronze utensils and various delicacies on them.

The distance and pace of each person were as uniform as if carved out of a mold, and when they walked in, they stood in a row, as if they were frozen.

At this time, Zhao Gao walked over, and two attendants, one holding a plate of chopsticks and a utensil, and the other holding an hourglass, followed behind Zhao Gao.

Every time Zhao Gao walked in front of a waiter, he used a pair of brand-new chopsticks to pick up a small piece of the delicacies and take a bite.

The whole process was very fast, and it was clearly tried and tested.

After tasting all the dishes, Zhao Gao put down his chopsticks and stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the attendant with a delicate small hourglass said softly: "The time has come." ”

Zhao Gao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was good that he wasn't poisoned.

Originally, such a dangerous thing did not require him to play in person.

But in order to be good in front of His Majesty, it is worth risking yourself.

Normally, when these dishes come out of the dining room, they are checked with silver needles first.

So the risk isn't huge, unless someone in the dining room is crazy.

It is a heinous crime to poison His Majesty, once it is confirmed, not only everyone in the dining room will die, but also the three clans.

Zhao Gao waved his hand, and those attendants immediately stepped forward one by one.

Walking in front of His Majesty, Zhao Gao bowed his hand again, and then carefully served all the delicacies on His Majesty's wooden table.

After doing all this, Zhao Gao waved his hand.

The attendants immediately bowed and bowed, and then withdrew.

At this time, an attendant walked in with a plate of water and a roll of brocade cloth on it.

Zhao Gao greeted him, took the plate in the hand of the waiter, and then made a look.

The chamberlain immediately bowed to Yingzheng, who was close at hand, and then left with some reluctance.

Such a good opportunity to get close to His Majesty was blocked in this way, but who made the family a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything.

After the waiter left, Zhao Gao looked at the water, his face was full of smiles, and walked towards Ying Zheng.

After coming to Yingzheng, in order to make His Majesty more comfortable to wash his hands, he could only kneel down and hold the plate on top of his head.

I have to say that this posture, Ying Zheng is indeed very convenient, almost no need to move his body, he can easily wash his hands by sitting in place.

It's just that Zhao Gao is not comfortable, after all, he is holding something that weighs nearly evenly, and his arms are still in a semi-bent posture.

"Your Majesty?"

After a while, Zhao Gao felt that his arm was sore, and he had to whisper to remind His Majesty.

But Ying Zheng seemed to be too focused, still looking at the music, and didn't pay attention to Zhao Gao at all.

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be dealing with something important, Zhao Gao didn't dare to bother anymore.

Otherwise, it will not succeed, but it will make His Majesty unhappy, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

In this way, he continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

Half an hour later......

Zhao Gao's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and his whole body began to tremble violently, clenching his teeth, and persevering until now.

He felt his hands begin to grow out of his control, trembling and shaking.

Zhao Gao knew that he couldn't go on any longer, otherwise it would be self-defeating.

So he carefully withdrew his arm, trying to retract the plate above his head.

But perhaps it was a long time and half bent, and it was supporting such a heavy thing, which made his arm numb.

It's okay if he doesn't accept it, this time, the whole plate turned over directly, and the bronze utensils smashed directly into his head.

"Oops!"

"Bang dang!"

Almost one after the other, Zhao Gao's screams and the sound of metal delivery sounded one after another.

The water in the bronze utensils was all sprinkled on Zhao Gao's head, and the clear water and blood blended and flowed down from Zhao Gao's face.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed Ying Zheng, he immediately put down the music in his hand, looked at Zhao Gao who was in a mess, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and your sin deserves death."

When Zhao Gao heard this, where could he still care about the injury on his head, he hurriedly bowed to Yingzheng.

Looking at Zhao Gao, whose face was covered with blood, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange light and said, "You have been following me for so many years, why are you still so careless?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

Zhao Gao didn't dare to refute at all, nor did he dare to explain himself.

He really knows His Majesty's character too well, and exonerating himself will only backfire and disgust His Majesty.

"Look at you, look at the floor, it's all blood, how does this make me eat?"

In Yingzheng's words and deeds, there was not the slightest anger, and his voice was flat.

"Your Majesty is the world, and it is difficult to atone for your sins even if your ministers die, please surrender your sins."

Zhao Gao's face was full of sincere remorse, and he didn't explain at all.

Besides, even if you explain it, how can you explain it?

Could it be that His Majesty wants to flatter, that's why he made it look like this?

Who is Your Majesty?

There are countless people in the world who want to flatter His Majesty, if it weren't for His Majesty looking down on himself, such a good thing as flattery, it would not be his turn!

Besides, this is not a big deal, I have served for more than ten years, because of a small matter, even if Your Majesty is unhappy, it should only be a small punishment and a big commandment.

Therefore, Zhao Gao pleaded guilty, and his confession was very refreshing, and he was not ambiguous at all.

"I remember your first offense, your attitude is sincere, and you have worked hard for many years to serve me in all aspects, and I will not be cured of your great disrespect."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he knew the result, he was still worried, after all, he had worked hard for decades to get to this point.

"It's so hard for you to be in such a position for so many years."

Ying Zheng still said lightly.

But Zhao Gao looked like he was crying with joy, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes, and just wanted to say that it was not embarrassing, and it was his duty to do an errand for His Majesty.

But when the words came to his lips, before he could say them, he heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"You don't have to concurrently serve in the future after the Fu Xi order, so you can do your CRRC government order with peace of mind!"

"After all, there are too many things, and people will always be negligent."

Ying Zheng picked up a book of musicals and read it after speaking.

Zhao Gao set off a monstrous wave in his heart, how could this be?

The important position that I have worked hard for many years is gone?

He would rather lose the CRRC Mansion Order than the Fu Xi Order, after all, if you talk about intimacy, the Fu Xi Order is an important position in front of His Majesty at any time.

opened his mouth, but Zhao Gao found that he couldn't say anything.

Since Your Majesty has made a decision, no one in this world can change it.

Excuses, justifications?

Does Your Majesty need it?

In this land of China, as long as Your Majesty opens his mouth, who dares to say no?

"Your Majesty, thank you."

Zhao Gao's heart was extremely bitter, even if he was unwilling, but at this time, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

And he had to accept it gladly, and he couldn't show the slightest displeasure, he could only force a smile and thank God.

"Stand down!"

Ying Zheng's voice was indifferent, he didn't raise his eyelids, and directly deprived Zhao Gao of his most powerful position.

"Minister, retire."

Zhao Gao stood up tremblingly, at this moment, he seemed to be much older, bowed down, and then left here lonely.

Unconsciously, the corners of Zhao Gao's mouth raised a trace of arc, and he walked with a sneer on his face.

Naturally, he laughed not at His Majesty, but at himself.

I really take myself too seriously, in fact, in front of His Majesty, I am nothing.

Give and take, all in the emperor's heart, unpredictable, how can you be a little clever to figure it out?

Maybe this walk is forever......
