Chapter 508: Ascending to the top in one day
After Zhang Tong listened, he turned around to go to Yingxi, Zhang Yi felt that it was not appropriate enough, he stopped Zhang Tong, and then put his ear to him, and whispered: "You tell Madame again tomorrow morning, and let her look for me outside the east gate of Xianyang City in the morning, if I go early, I should be able to meet her there." ”
Zhang Tong was confused when he heard it, he looked at Zhang Yi in a daze, and didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Zhang Yi didn't have time to explain so much to him, he simply ordered: "You just do what I tell you, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Zhang Tong looked at Zhang Yi and found that his face was solemn, and then glanced at the monarch Yingsi, and found that he was smiling instead, not as gloomy and ugly as when he first came. Zhang Tong didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what Zhang Yi talked about with the monarch, but he had seen Zhang Yi's status in the Qin State from the monarch's two visits. Therefore, Zhang Tong never dared to slack off on what Zhang Yi ordered.
As soon as they arrived at the harem gate of Xianyang Palace, they found that more than a dozen eunuchs were surrounded by a heroic and extraordinary noble son, who was leaving the palace, and they took two carriages and crossed the suspension bridge on the moat outside the palace gate.
The officials who were driving the train for Qin Jun found out about the disease, and hurriedly reported to the monarch who was discussing with Zhang Yi in the carriage: "Your Excellency Qiqi, there are two carriages on the opposite side, which may be the prince of the province and the governor of the internal affairs department. ”
Ying Si hurriedly instructed the official who was driving: "You quickly stop the carriage and send someone to pass through the young man, just say that there is no need to go to Zhang Yi's mansion, we have rushed back to Xianyang Palace." You go and spread the widow's will, let the young man turn the horse's head, and go to the main hall of Xianyang Palace to find me. ”
The person who drove the car was one of the high-ranking palace supervisors, the agency was called the Imperial Servant, and his subordinates had at least hundreds of personnel, who were responsible for the travel of the monarch and the high-ranking concubines in the palace. However, driving for the monarch is generally still the responsibility of the servant himself.
When the servant heard the king's order, he stopped the king's carriage and told his men to hurry to the prince of the kingdom to report the king's will.
Ying Si then ordered the servant to drive directly to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, which was close to dusk. When Ying Si and Zhang Yi arrived at the main hall, he immediately ordered the eunuchs on duty in the palace to act separately and convey an urgent edict to the officials in Xianyang City at the rank of chief and above, so that they could go to the main hall of Xianyang Palace immediately after receiving the order.
Zhang Yi asked: "The king is meeting the ministers at this time, I don't know what his plans are, it's getting late, isn't it confusing the ministers?" ”
Ying Si looked at Zhang Yi and replied, "The widow is determined to hold a ceremony in the palace today, and in front of the ministers, I will pay homage to you as the new prime minister of the Qin State." Although it is late, but the widow can't wait for a moment, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng will leave for Chu tomorrow to lobby for the Qin State, the widow not only gives you a name, but also gives you a solemn ceremony, in order to tell the world that the world people attach importance to you. ”
When Zhang Yi heard this, his heart was moved, he bowed down on the seat, and said: "The king has such a decisive power, and Weichen admires it very much. The king treats me with kindness, and I should do my best for the hegemony of the Qin State, and I will never fail in my mission. ”
Ying Si smiled and said: "Prime Minister, please get up, the widow knows that you are a sincere person, and the widow will never treat you badly." The widow hates to see you late, and after today's sealing ceremony, I have to talk to the prime minister, please give me advice. ”
Zhang Yi got up and replied, "Fortunately, fortunately." I want it too! ”
The high-ranking officials of the Qin State who lived in Xianyang City received the edict from the palace, and they were really in a hurry one by one, thinking that something earth-shattering had happened. Some people thought: "It must be that the Qin army on the front line of Michi has undergone a major change, and the monarch has summoned me nearly at night, so could it be that he wants to urgently discuss countermeasures?" ”
The battle situation of the Qin army in Mianchi has already spread in Xianyang City, and the ministers all know that the monarch of Lu Dao is worried about this, and they want to make suggestions, but they heard that the monarch is alone and does not come out, and even the most favored concubine can not be seen, they are in a hurry, and there is no way.
All the ministers who received the order put down what they were doing, hurriedly put on their court clothes, and went out. Some people were eating dinner, and when they heard the order, they didn't even finish the meal, so they put down the dagger and rushed to Xianyang Palace urgently.
Less than half an hour after Qin Jun's order came out, most of the summoned courtiers felt the main hall of Xianyang Palace. At this time, Ying Si had already brought Zhang Yi and Zhu Lijian to the side room next to the main hall, waiting for the eunuchs to report on the gathering of the ministers.
Ying Si heard that there were only two or three elderly ministers left who did not arrive in time because they were unwell, and the rest of the people had already gathered in the main hall, so he took Zhang Yi and Zhu Li and came out of the side room.
The eunuch pronounced a trumpet and sang: "The king is coming, and the ministers are saluting!" When the ministers heard the announcement, they bowed down to the end one after another, and responded loudly: "See the king, long live the king!" ”
At this time, some ministers secretly raised their heads and glanced in the direction where the monarch came out, their eyes couldn't help but straighten, they found that there were two accompanying ministers by the monarch's side, one of whom everyone knew, it was the younger brother of the monarch, the prince of Qin, who was in a high-ranking position and a collection of favors, but the other was a new face.
I saw that this person was of medium stature, moderately fat and thin, with two sword eyebrows and a square face, not handsome and chic, but very capable and energetic. This person was something that most ministers had never seen before, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is this person, and why did he suddenly appear?" How noble is he, that he is the same as the prince of the country, and treats each other as equals? ”
There was only one person among the ministers who was not unfamiliar with this face at all, he was Dr. Gao Sheng, he had done the courtesy of seeing the monarch in an orderly manner, and when he raised his head to look, he was surprised to find Zhang Yi and Qin Jun Yingsi standing together, he not only opened his mouth wide in surprise, but also stunned on the ground.
Gao Sheng once recommended Zhang Yi's matter to the monarch, but later because the monarch listened to Gongsun Yan's advice, he snubbed the matter. He ran to the house again, trying to find a way out for Zhang Yi, but this matter was also difficult, and he was still worried about Zhang Yi's entry into the Qin State.
Where could Gao Sheng have expected that Zhang Yi would leap into the dragon gate at this moment, ascend to the sky in one step, and suddenly become an incomparably respected nobleman by the monarch's side. Gao Sheng rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he looked at the hall again, realizing that he had not recognized the wrong person. Then, he secretly pinched his arm again, and there was a pain in his arm, and it turned out that he was not in a dream.
