The imperial historians were helpless, after all, it was obvious that their young king was deliberately throwing a temper with Zhang Ji, but Ying Zheng could play like this, but they couldn't really let Zhang Ji stand in place so stupidly.

The imperial histories of the countries are only historians, and the Son of Heaven, the princes, the doctors, and the subordinates of the Yi Zai are all placed in the "history", which is responsible for recording the content of the dialogue and concurrently serving as the secretary, and the nature is more inclined to Lang officials, but the imperial history of the Qin State is a supervisory official, in charge of impeachment, picketing officials and negligence, and maintaining the order and etiquette of the court is also within the scope of the imperial historians' authority.

If Zhang Ji did not stand in front of the position where he should have stood at the beginning of the court meeting, it would be a crime of dereliction, and according to Qin law, he would be punished with a cane.

But although Qin Law is strict, it is also humane.

Before the courtier goes to court for the first time, there is usually a court history door to teach the court etiquette, if the first court meeting is not honorable, the imperial history is guilty of the same crime, but the punishment can be reduced, and both parties can be fined. Zhang Ji's situation of going to court without being taught by the imperial history is likely to be exempt from responsibility.

But Zhang Ji can be exempted from responsibility, for these imperial historians, not teaching Zhang Ji etiquette in time is dereliction of duty.

Dereliction of duty is not only so simple, the crime of dereliction of duty can be large or small, the light one is fined, and the serious one is beheaded.

Although this situation has not been seen even by these experienced imperial historians, and there is no example for reference, it is estimated that twenty canes are inevitable.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng is no longer the boy after all, but the King of Qin, although he inevitably has a little youthful heart, but he will not let Zhang Ji lose his honor in front of the court, so he turned his head to look at Li Si.

Li Si understood, brought Zhang Ji to Yingzheng's side, and stood at the front of the Lang officials.

As the shouts of the imperial history fell, the last court meeting before the in-government also kicked off.

"Meet the King!"

The civil and military officials greeted in unison and bowed down.

Looking at the courtiers in black court clothes in front of him bending down to salute him, Rao Yizheng couldn't help but feel excited.

It's not the first time he's been to the court, he hasn't known how many times he's been to the court since he was thirteen, but this time it's definitely the one he's most looking forward to and the most exciting and exciting for him.

Because this is the first time he has held a court meeting with great power, because this is the court meeting where he is about to announce the "crown salute and pro-national politics", because this is the last court meeting before he is pro-government.

Power is like sweet liquor, which is intoxicating, but Ying Zheng is not addicted to it, but suppresses the heat in his heart, and slowly gets up from the throne carved from a thousand years of black jade.

Xuanyi was dressed in a silk robe, with a sword at his waist, and a black jade pendant hanging, walked down the steps called "Majesty", bowed the same to the ministers, and then straightened his body, stretched out his hands as a support, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, please get up." ”

"——! Start"

After Ying Zheng's voice fell, the old eunuch Ling shouted in a sharp but loud voice.

"Sit ——!"

Then the ministers slowly straightened up, and sat down on the cushions placed behind them at the second call of the old eunuch.

"The king has an edict ——!"

Lees gasped softly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The matter of drafting and reading the Wang edict should have belonged to Lang Guan, but last night Ying Zheng praised his words for "rising like green mountains and floating clouds, and harvesting like a fish swimming in water" because his words were horizontal and vertical, round and even, so he handed over all the matters of drafting and reading the Wang edict to Li Si.

You must know that the content of today's edict is not short, especially its content also includes the content of Yingzheng and the crown of pro-government, which is absolutely of great significance, and how can Li Si not be excited to read such an edict in front of the courtiers.

After glancing at Ying Zheng, the old eunuch Ling squinted and smiled towards the position of the Lang officials, holding the black royal edict in both hands and handing it to Li Si's eyes.

But there are some things, even if they are so close to each other, that are out of reach.

"Sir, please read the edict of the king."

Li Si's eyes were torn, and his eyes widened as he looked at the old eunuch order, he wanted to stop the old eunuch order and said that he should read the royal edict, but the remaining reason told him that this kind of thing must not be the old eunuch order's private decision, it must be Yingzheng's instructions.

But glancing at Zhang Ji, who was still a little stunned after receiving the edict, Li Si sighed secretly.

With Zhang Ji's current favor, he lost to him...... There's no shame in that.

According to rumors of the chamberlain and the palace maid, the wound medicine on Zhang Ji's wound was smeared by the queen mother herself, and then bandaged with cloth strips.

This kind of treatment and favor, as long as Zhang Ji does not rebel and can live to the age of fifty, then the Zhang family can prosper in the Qin State for at least three generations.

Those who have the same idea are the rest of the Lang officials such as Meng Jia, Mi Qi, Mi Dian, Feng Zai, Feng Quji, Li Xin, and Qiang Qi. Everyone is either from a superior background or a talent, and no one is convinced.

Li Si is only because of Li Si's words, plus Li Si is eight and a half feet long, with wolf eyes and eagle nose, high cheekbones, and a round world, although he is not as handsome and elegant as his senior brother Han Fei, but he is definitely born with a heroic and good appearance, so he was given the task of reading out the Wang edict by the political commissar Ying.

But Zhang Ji ...... Let's not say that it is not a shame to lose to Zhang Ji, and secondly, Zhang Ji's current favor, power and reputation in his hands will never compete with them on the same ladder, and it will have little impact on them. In other words, as long as they don't let the people who are also Lang officials, especially Li Si, win, they have no opinion.

Of course, the most important point is that everyone is soberly aware that this kind of thing must be Ying Zheng's order, and it is impossible to eat any good fruit by working against Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Zhang Ji respectfully bent down and took the edict in the hands of the old eunuch Ling, and then glanced at the eunuch Ling deeply, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for the old eunuch Ling." ”

Zhang Ji is not a fool who doesn't understand the world, looking at Li Si's appearance, he knew that he was the person who was originally scheduled to read the edict, and he suddenly changed to himself because of the eyes of the old eunuch Ling and Yingzheng at that moment, and it was the old eunuch Ling who took the initiative.

This is tantamount to reminding Ying Zheng that there is a Zhang Ji who is more suitable for reading the edict, so there is a hint of Ying Zheng.

The old eunuch Ling smiled slightly, and his wrinkled face also squeezed out a lot of folds because of the smile, and nodded slightly.

Having served four generations of King Qin, he naturally doesn't know anything about the palace, but he rarely hides things from him.

Although the old eunuch knew about the absurd relationship between Zhang Ji and Zhao Ji, he didn't care.

His allegiance was to the state of Qin, not to a particular king of Qin.

Chu Ke reported that he was desperate, and Qin Mu drank and stole horses.

As a eunuch Ling beside the four generations of King Qin, he is also familiar with these two stories.

Today's Zhang Ji has repeatedly made great contributions to Yingzheng like the desperate Tang Cunning and the Qin people who stole horses, so he is naturally willing to support Zhang Ji as he did when he helped Lü Buwei in the past.

Of course, if one day, Zhang has any crooked thoughts, then the relationship between him and Zhao Ji will also become Zhang Ji's life-threatening talisman.

And these thoughts of the old eunuch Ling, Zhang Ji naturally didn't know, he held the royal edict in his hand, and after glancing at Yingzheng on the throne behind him, he looked down at the ministers under the steps, slowly spread out the black edict, and took a deep breath.
