Ji Ming muttered in his heart: "How come you, Huai Guzi, already know about my two local disciples?"
Ji Ming felt shocked and aggrieved. Just as he was thinking about what was going on, Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Huh?"
Ji Ming hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I only accept two apprentices to serve Your Majesty better."
Ying Zheng said coldly: "I'm asking you, do you mean to accept a few disciples?"
Ji Ming hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I have indeed accepted an apprentice recently, but that doesn't prove that the person Prime Minister Wang saw on the road was my apprentice."
"Words are unfounded, seeing is believing. Besides, this is just the words of Prime Minister Wang's family. What if Prime Minister Wang doesn't like this slave and deliberately frames her?"
"Your Majesty, this servant is serving your Majesty loyally. Please keep your Majesty in mind."
Li Si smiled and said, "Eunuch Ji, you think too highly of yourself."
"The majestic Prime Minister of Qin, will he be acquainted with you?"
"Besides, what kind of interaction could Prime Minister Wang have with you, and would he be able to frame you?"
Li Si continued: "Your Majesty, just now Eunuch Ji said that it was just the Prime Minister who had a look. Unfortunately, I was in front of and behind the Prime Minister at that time."
"I also saw that those two people did pass by the prime minister."
Ji Ming lowered his head, frightened and angry.
Okay, you guys teamed up to mess with me. I haven't provoked you on weekdays, so why are you targeting me today?
Aren't you here to impeach Huaiguzi? You are all pointing the finger at what I did.
In just a short period of time, Ji Ming had already cursed ten thousand times in his heart.
It was clear that before Wang Wan, Li Si and others came in, they were eager to impeach Huai Guzi.
Why, in the blink of an eye, everyone started talking about me.
Ever since His Majesty came in, I have been standing behind His Majesty, silently.
Today I am really unlucky for the eighth time in my life. I am being targeted even while I am standing.
Ying Zheng said nothing when he saw Ji Ming kneeling in front of him, and said sternly: "Tell me if this is the case!"
Ji Ming, who was just thinking about something, was suddenly frightened and trembled. Ji Ming was trying to recall whether this happened.
This is not a disciple of Shou. This is a god of plague who causes trouble for himself every day.
Ji Ming thought for a moment and realized that the two apprentices had indeed left the palace today.
But if these two people hadn't met Wang Wan and happened to say those words, who would have known.
Ji Ming trembled and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those two unsatisfactory slaves have indeed left the palace today."
Li Shui whispered from the side: "I thought Eunuch Ji would refuse to admit it, but it turns out he can tell the truth."
Ji Ming was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Why did I tell the truth? How had I ever lied?
At this moment, Ji Ming really wanted to beat the two disciples to death. They were discussing something about Huaiguzi and why they provoked him, and Wang Wan and the others overheard it.
I can't do anything about Huai Guzi for the time being, but you still dare to talk about it blatantly.
It's true that your son is shitting, and your father is going to wipe your ass.
Wait, Ji Ming suddenly remembered.
On the first day he took them in, he warned them to collect things that were detrimental to Huai Guzi, in every detail.
Once discovered, it can be reported.
Ji Ming wanted to give himself two slaps at this time, but he really shot himself in the foot.
I have no choice but to accept two stupid apprentices. Who makes these two people so unsatisfactory?
I collected some information and was overheard by Wang Wan.
Although I didn't believe that Wang Wan saw those two people, two important officials, Wang Wan and Li Si, said that they could never clear up the charge of spreading rumors.
Huaiguzi smiled and said: "Eunuch Ji, everyone knows that your legs and feet are not good. It seems that your eyes are hungry. This apprentice is not doing well,"
"Look at our Shangjun Courtyard, all the apprentices are elites. Next time you want to accept apprentices, you can ask me."
"I'll pick and choose for you. Of course, the introduction fee is easy to negotiate."
Ji Ming murmured in his heart: Should I choose you? Dare I use the person you Huaiguzi chose?
I, Ji Ming, am not that stupid yet. I know very clearly whether I should choose a disciple or a spy.
If Wang Wan was simply targeting him, he would admit it.
But he originally came to see Huaiguzi’s joke, but now somehow, he has become everyone’s joke.
It even made His Majesty very unhappy.
If Huaiguzi hadn't fanned the flames, Ji Ming would have admitted it today. It was nothing more than a lack of discipline, and His Majesty still loved him.
But Huaiguzi, whom he hated the most, was still sarcastic, and Ji Ming had nowhere to vent the anger he was holding in his heart.
Ji Ming's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head and said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged."
Ying Zheng frowned and glanced at Ji Ming, wanting to see what other tricks he could make up.
Ji Ming continued: "Your Majesty, I have recently accepted two apprentices. It just so happened that those two apprentices left the palace today."
"Even as Prime Minister Wang said, I happened to meet those two people on the road today."
"But the remarks that promote Xingcao are not necessarily what those two people said."
"These two people don't know a lot of Chinese characters. They haven't lived in the palace for a long time, and they have no contact with cursive calligraphy."
"How can it be possible to talk about official affairs or even discuss court policies in private?"
Ying Zheng nodded, tentatively agreeing with your explanation.
Li Shui frowned. He didn't know a few Chinese characters and had lived in the palace for a long time. Didn't this refer to his former self?
Li Shui wanted to go up and give Ji Ming a big slap at this time, but he couldn't find any substantive explanation.
At this time, Ji Ming felt happy when he saw Ying Zheng nodding slightly.
He continued: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister also said it just now, and he heard it from passers-by. It is especially obvious that Prime Minister Wang heard what the passers-by said, and he still misjudged the holy will."
Wang Wan was shocked and thought: When did this boy Ji Ming become so eloquent? Every sentence was shot at me like a crossbow arrow.
If your majesty had listened to Ji Ming's remarks, wouldn't it mean that I had just speculated on the holy will? The point is that the speculation was wrong and caused a storm in the city. This is what your majesty cannot tolerate the most.
Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, Ji Ming continued: "Your Majesty, if the Prime Minister is judging the Holy Will in vain, then the remarks made by this stranger are just rhetoric to deliberately shirk responsibility."
"Perhaps under His Majesty's questioning, the Prime Minister thought of the two apprentices of mine he saw on the road today. After all, they are from the palace."
"Not only can it target slaves, but it can also be more convincing and make His Majesty believe it."
"If it were just an ordinary Guizhou head, not only would His Majesty not believe it, but it would also appear that the Prime Minister is just following the wind and having no judgment at all."
Li Shui glanced at Ji Ming and thought to himself: This boy can do it. He has strong bones. He dares to argue in front of His Majesty and refute the two important ministers of the Qin Dynasty.
Ji Ming was spitting out random words, which basically frightened everyone present.
Li Si took a breath and thought: How come this kid is as sharp-tongued as Huaiguzi? No wonder he has recently accepted an apprentice.
If I hadn't known that Ji Ming and Huaiguzi didn't deal with them, I would have thought that this was what Huaiguzi taught them.
