Crunch!
The palace door opened a gap, and as soon as Zhang Ji got out of the gap, Ying Zheng immediately came up to him and asked eagerly: "Sir, how is the queen mother's health?"
Zhang Ji took a breath and wiped the sweat flowing down his temples with his sleeves. A soft smile appeared on his pale face as nearly half of his internal energy was sent into Zhao Ji's body to remove toxins.
"Your Majesty, I am glad that I have fulfilled my destiny."
"The Queen Mother took the Panchi Giant Anaconda Neidan yesterday, which gave her the initial ability to resist hallucinogens. I used massage to stimulate the Queen Mother's acupuncture points, and then used internal force to wash away the Queen Mother's meridians, and penetrated the Queen Mother's internal organs and limbs. Sixty to seventy percent of the accumulated toxins have been removed.”
"Therefore, the Queen Mother already knows what happened previously. Now she only needs to discuss with the Queen Mother how to deal with Lao Ai."
Ying Zheng was overjoyed and grabbed Zhang Ji's hand, his eyes full of gratitude.
What he was most worried about was that his mother would turn against him because of Lao Ai's hallucinogenic drugs. This was also his biggest worry.
Now, Zhang Ji has cleared his worries, and he can concentrate on dealing with Lao Ai.
In Liuying Palace, Zhao Ji apologized to Ying Zheng repeatedly.
As Ying Zheng's mother, not only did she not help Ying Zheng when he was in the most difficult time, but because of her blind self-confidence, she was controlled and exploited by Lao Ai. In fact, she almost killed him, which made Zhao Ji very guilty.
Ying Zheng naturally doesn't care about this. The relationship between mother and son is deep and cannot be destroyed or affected by this kind of thing.
"This time, it's really all thanks to you, sir." Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Ji who looked tired and weak, and said gratefully from the bottom of his heart, "If it weren't for sir, it's still unclear whether Zheng could have returned to Xianyang safe and sound. I saved my mother again, and Zheng really has nothing to repay."
It has been said since ancient times that no one has done more good than the Savior.
Zhang Ji's series of actions first saved Ying Zheng and then Zhao Ji. It can be said that he was the savior for the second time. It was indeed a great achievement, and Ying Zheng was indeed somewhat "unrequited".
With the power that Ying Zheng now holds, it is indeed not easy to reward Zhang Ji.
The Qin State favors martial arts, and Qin law also stipulates that titles must be obtained through military exploits. No one is exempt. Even the prime ministers of Qin in the past, such as Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Wei Ran, Fan Ju, Cai Ze, Lu Buwei, etc., all have military exploits. , Otherwise, how can we be granted the title of king or marquis?
But if one is given an official position, there is no such thing as an official.
Ying Zheng's current power lies more in the military, and political power is mainly in the hands of Lu Buwei. And most of the official positions in the military have been almost closed, and there are no vacancies for military positions.
What's more, if he is granted a military position, then Zhang Ji will have to serve in the army, and he will not be able to be as readily available as he is now to consult on these important matters at any time.
Later, Ying Zheng also expressed these concerns in front of Zhang Ji.
Scholars have always sought fame and fortune. They learned literature and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family.
If a minister has repeatedly made great achievements but has not been rewarded, it is inevitable that he will become disloyal.
So Ying Zheng simply told Zhang Ji the reason for not awarding the reward directly in front of Zhang Ji. On the one hand, it was to calm Zhang Ji's heart, and on the other hand, he was trying to make Zhang Ji's cake.
Now he has no official position to give to Zhang Ji. If he can take back the power and officially take charge, then by then, with the credit of assisting Ying Zheng in seizing power plus the two previous great achievements, what official position will Zhang Ji not be able to get?
On the other hand, Zhao Ji on the side, her eyes moving, with a hint of resentment toward Zhang Ji hidden in her eyes, suddenly said: "How is the guard?"
Zhao Ji's words made Ying Zheng and Zhang Ji startled at the same time. Seeing that neither of them raised any objections, Zhao Ji's eyes secretly flashed with pride: "Wei Wei is the officer who leads the guards to guard the palace. He must be trusted and cannot be appointed."
"Sir is Zheng'er's confidant and my nephew in my eyes. Naturally, he is a close confidant of Zheng'er and I, which can also show his honor. In addition, he has made great achievements many times. The position of Weiwei is high and powerful, but he is not subject to the title. Due to the restrictions, you can even stay in the palace and work with the king as counselor on state affairs, accomplishing multiple things with one stone."
Ying Zheng's eyes became brighter after hearing Zhao Ji's words.
Yes, the position of Weiwei is indeed the most suitable position for Zhang Ji.
From a painting point of view, in order to appoint Zhang Ji as a Wei Wei, he must first get rid of Lao Ai, and secondly, he must eliminate Lao Ai's close associates, such as the current Wei Wei, Ji.
From the perspective of reward, he expressed his trust in Zhang Ji as a confidant, and this official position was enough to match Zhang Ji's merits, plus the convenience of being able to stay in the palace.
Ying Zheng was always energetic and liked to keep people in the palace for discussions until late at night, but sometimes he had to violate the rules of the palace and had to release his ministers home before the discussion was completed. I heard that Li Si had experienced such a situation. This happened several times, but Li Si was quite happy and even seemed to enjoy it.
Therefore, Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Zhang Ji's idea of being awarded the title of Weiwei. He did not notice the bold and fiery look Zhao Ji looked at Zhang Ji, nor did he notice that Zhang Ji heard the words "stay in the palace". He looked timid after swallowing his saliva.
Zhao Ji naturally has some selfish motives. Since she chose Zhang Ji, she naturally wants to squeeze more out of Zhang Ji, preferably someone who can be on call at any time.
As women, we are all somewhat possessive. Even though she knew that Zhang Ji already had a wife and concubines, she still wanted to be the woman who owned Zhang Ji for the longest time.
She is so domineering, who made Zhang Ji choose to provoke her?
However, Zhao Ji is not entirely selfish.
After experiencing Lao Ai's incident, Zhao Ji also understood that the palace must be strengthened and guarded by a trustworthy person to ensure the safety of her and Ying Zheng.
As Ying Zheng's confidant and friend, Zhang Ji is also his... lover, so he is definitely the best person to trust.
Therefore, after considering many aspects, both public and private, she suggested that Ying Zheng appoint Zhang Ji as a guard.
Of course, if Zhang Ji serves as a guard, he can enter Ganquan Palace during the day, stay in the palace at night, and then secretly enter Ganquan Palace... Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little itchy. The delicate body that had just reached its peak was still feeling a little numb.
However, Zhang Ji suffered a lot.
In Zhao Ji's view, Zhang Ji could enter Ganquan Palace during the day and then enter Ganquan Palace at night.
In Zhang Ji's view, he had to be on duty at the Qin Palace during the day and was squeezed by Ying Zheng. At night, he was dragged by Ying Zheng to discuss state affairs and squeezed twice. Late at night, he was dragged into Ganquan Palace by Zhao Ji and squeezed three times...
What should I do if my boss and his mother both want to exploit me?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
