Zhang Ji was startled by Ying Zheng's words and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
you do not say.
I forced myself to shout "Mother is awesome", "Mother, please slow down" and "Mother doesn't want it" so many times. Ying Zheng's own son did not receive this kind of treatment.
"I am the one who made the Queen Mother worried. It is reasonable for the Queen Mother to scold me a few times."
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhang Ji still smiled softly on his face and even offered some excuses for Zhao Ji.
However, Ying Zheng suddenly stopped and stood there with the windlass sword on his waist, staring at Zhang Ji with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"My mother has recognized you as her adopted son, and you are two years old, so why should you act like a king and a minister? Could it be that you don't want to get closer to the government?" There was a hint of scrutiny in Ying Zheng's dark eyes.
Although today's Yingzheng is still the king of Qin, and he is only the king of Qin who has not yet held the crown ceremony, he is not the first emperor who will be the most ancient and modern emperor.
But, he is Ying Zheng after all.
Although he has never grown into an ancestral dragon, today's young dragon still carries a kingly aura that is difficult for ordinary people to compete with.
This kingly aura made Ge Nie on the side look at Ying Zheng and Zhang Ji frequently.
However, facing Ying Zheng's power, Zhang Ji showed no fear or flinch at all. Instead, he smiled faintly.
"The etiquette between king and minister cannot be abolished."
"As a king and a minister, you should put public affairs first and private affairs first."
"Privately, the king and I can be brothers or confidants, but in public, the king is the king and father of the country."
"The king is first the king of the Qin Dynasty, and then the brother and confidant of the ministers. This order and etiquette cannot be confused."
Ying Zheng didn't seem willing to buy Zhang Ji's reasons, but he actually understood that it wasn't that Zhang Ji didn't want to get close to him, but that there were some things that he couldn't start with.
If Zhang Ji can call Ying Zheng some intimate personal names, what about others?
It doesn't matter that Chang'an Jun Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng are both Ying Zichu's heirs after all, but what about the others?
Maybe they are not as close as Zhang Ji and Ying Zheng, but it is inevitable that there are several elders and peers in the Ying Qin clan who are closely related to Ying Zheng.
For example, Ying Zheng's uncles, King Xiaowen, had more than twenty sons. Although there was no son from Ying Zheng's biological grandmother, the Queen Mother Xia, what would they ask of Ying Zheng as their elders?
Ying Zheng is the king and father of a country, but Ying Zheng is also a member of the Ying Qin clan. Although he is the patriarch, he is also a junior, and he has the obligation to seek the welfare of his fellow clan members.
And if Zhang Ji, Zhao Ji's adopted son, could be so close to Ying Zheng, it would inevitably make those uncles feel that Ying Zheng was weak and could be bullied, and make some outrageous demands.
At that time, Ying Zheng was embarrassed and could not ignore him.
If Ying Zheng only pays attention to Zhang Ji and ignores the other members of his clan, not only will he get a reputation as a ruthless person, but he will also make Zhang Ji hostile to the Ying Qin clan.
You know, the last person who was hostile to the Ying Qin clan was that Lord Shang.
Since ancient times, even Shang Yang could not help but end up in a relationship with each other. Although it is almost impossible for this situation to happen due to the relationship between Zhang Ji, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, it is still better to be just in case.
In fact, Ying Zheng also knew the disadvantages, but he still wanted to get along with Zhang Ji like this.
No matter how much the king acted like a young hero, he was still just a boy.
It is inevitable that a young king is not calm-minded. Even though Ying Zheng has always behaved in a young and mature manner in the past, and his actions are in line with the demeanor of a king, but a boy is still a boy after all.
The boy who is about to take control of the power he has dreamed of for a long time will still be somewhat carried away by his joy.
Ying Zheng is not an ordinary young man, so he can suppress his pride, but he will also choose to use his power to do rebellious things that he cannot usually do.
"Forget it, at least I won't call you brother in front of outsiders." Ying Zheng tossed his robe, turned around and continued walking slowly towards Xianyang Palace, leaving only Zhang Ji behind.
Gai Nie was slightly startled. Ying Zheng's actions obviously showed that he was angry. The majestic King Qin was actually angry because of such a title. This was really a scene he had never seen in his many years of accompanying Ying Zheng.
With a wry smile, Gai Nie nodded slightly to Zhang Ji and followed him.
However, while walking, Ying Zheng suddenly stopped again and looked back at Zhang Ji: "Zheng doesn't want my brother to be absent on the way forward."
"I will not be absent...I have not witnessed the unification of the mountains and rivers of the world and the peace, nor have I witnessed the iron hooves of the Qin Dynasty galloping across the land that our ancestors have never set foot on."
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled. Ying Zheng no longer looked back, and his face also showed a light of confidence.
The young dragon has taken its first step towards the world, and Zhang Ji will be a witness in the process of this young dragon transforming into an ancestral dragon.
Zhang Ji looked at the black figure and followed quickly.
Xianyang Palace was densely packed with courtiers.
Unlike the empty Xianyang Palace last night, today's Xianyang Palace is extremely crowded.
After all, they were only the core courtiers in Xianyang last night. Most of the courtiers were not qualified to participate in the court meeting that changed the political structure of Qin Dynasty. They could only learn the outcome of this political confrontation before the court meeting.
Ying Zheng's crushing victory shocked the court officials who were not qualified to participate in last night's court meeting.
The Queen Mother's full help, Lu Buwei's initiative to give in, and Zong Zhengling's conclusion changed the political structure of Qin.
The main figure who set out to change the political landscape was actually such a young man.
However, at this moment, the young man was at a loss because he didn't know where to stand.
Zhang Ji looked around at the positions of the courtiers and found that their positions were different from last night's positions according to factions. At today's official court meeting, civil and military officials stood in the same place, and the order of their positions was based on their official positions, but Zhang Jizhen didn't know where he should stand.
Logically speaking, he came with Ying Zheng and could stand beside Ying Zheng.
But this should be the position of Meng Jia, Mi Qi, Feng Jie and other officials. After thinking about it, they still didn't stand here.
The problem is that although Zhang Ji is the leader of Luo Wang, it is only an inheritance relationship within Luo Wang. It has not been officially announced and canonized in the court, so so far, he has not been awarded any formal official position, nor has he received a title.
After all, he is just a white man, and he is not suitable for standing anywhere. If it were not for this transcendent status and the favor of Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, he would not even be qualified to enter Xianyang Palace.
At the moment, not only Zhang Ji was having a headache about his position, but the censors who were responsible for maintaining the order and rituals of the court meeting were also worried.
They knew that Zhang Ji had taken over Luo Wang, but among the past leaders of Luo Wang, who could attend the court meeting except Zhang Yi, who also served as prime minister?
Moreover, no one has ever cared about the rank of Luo Wang's leader. Even if they really want to take up a position in this capacity, they don't know how to arrange it for Zhang Ji.
So they hope Ying Zheng can open his mouth and decide Zhang Ji's position.
But Ying Zheng seemed to deliberately pretend not to see Zhang Ji's embarrassment and the censors' pleas. Facing Zhang Ji's little look for help, he turned his head and ignored it.
Who let you refute my good intentions?
Idiots also have tempers!
