Seeking wealth through risk
Ji Ming felt contempt for Li Shui in his heart: What a good boy, I was almost knocked out by you and fell into your trap.
I have been serving His Majesty for so long and struggled in the palace for so many years. How can I not understand your little thoughts?
I was already in the palace before you knew where you were deceiving me.
Ji Ming thought that he should have been the popular person in front of His Majesty, the person His Majesty trusted the most, even though he is still the same now.
But Li Shui dangled in front of His Majesty every day, bewitching His Majesty and competing for His Majesty's trust, which made him very angry.
Li Shui sneered and said, "You know whether I have wronged you or not."
Ji Ming covered his face and said, "I serve Your Majesty every day and am loyal to Your Majesty."
"Huaiguzi, don't just rely on His Majesty's favor to frame you up."
"It's true that I have two apprentices, but how did you know that they were not purchasing but in the lobby?"
"Huai Guzi, those two are my disciples, and they are His Majesty's people and people in the palace."
"You have inquired so clearly about the people in His Majesty's palace. What do you want to do?"
"You actually know that I have just accepted a disciple, and you can even follow him."
"Is it true that Xianyang City is your spy, and there is nothing that Huaiguzi doesn't know about?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Shui, and Li Shui understood.
Ji Ming accepted his apprentice Ying Zheng and had no time to ask more questions. He would not care about such a trivial matter.
But it was said that the two disciples Ji Ming had taken on would go out of the palace every now and then. It was doubtful whether they still returned empty-handed.
Ying Zheng privately asked Li Shui to send someone outside the palace to keep an eye on what the two men were doing.
Where did he go, who did he meet, what did he say.
It seems that Ji Ming is unaware of the ghost, but in fact Ying Zheng already knows everything about it.
Of course, this was what Ying Zheng had told Li Shui privately, and it was impossible for Li Shui to tell the matter clearly in front of everyone.
Today, he is secretly staring at Ji Ming. Tomorrow, if His Majesty is unhappy, who will he be staring at? Once other people are misunderstood, there will be discord between the king and his ministers.
Li Shui didn't speak, wanting to see what else Ji Ming could spit out of his mouth.
The Prime Minister Wang Wan next to him saw this and was shocked in his heart. "Tsk, tsk, Ji Ming's mouth is really poisonous today."
Since when did Ji Ming become so stubborn and dare to talk to Huaiguzi like this?
He was always a big hat for decapitation. If he was put on his head, let alone dismissed, even ten of him would not be enough to decapitate him.
It seems that Ji Ming has really been studying Huaiguzi's behavior recently, which is cruel, vicious and messy.
Wang Wan raised her head and glanced at Ying Zheng. Seeing that Ying Zheng frowned slightly and did not speak, she thought to herself: Could it be that Ji Ming is really His Majesty's support?
Ji Ming couldn't help but feel unhappy. Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't react at all, he felt even happier inside.
Ying Zheng didn't speak, but the representative over there recognized what he said.
Ji Ming was calm on the surface, and even acted pitiful, but he was extremely excited on the inside.
Today is simply the highlight of my twenty-plus years.
I have never been as happy as today. The first half of my life was really useless.
From the moment he entered the palace, he was taught to be cautious and cautious, and not to act in a ostentatious manner.
Today, not only did he criticize the Prime Minister and Li Si, but even Huaiguzi was speechless.
Ji Ming even felt that he was finding his true self more and more. This was his true self.
Ji Ming has already begun to imagine that tomorrow he will sit in the position of chief eunuch and enjoy the honor that Zhao Gao could not enjoy at the beginning.
Thinking of Zhao Gao, the original Ji Ming was nothing, not even worthy of carrying Zhao Gao's shoes.
If Zhao Gao were still alive now, it would be a shame to serve as a stepping stone for Ji Ming.
Ji Ming sneered in his heart. He sought wealth in danger. Only by daring to speak and do can he achieve something.
Ji Ming became more and more excited as he thought about it, and accidentally laughed out loud.
When Ji Ming reacted, he was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. He screamed secretly and hurriedly covered his mouth.
But it was too late. After all, everyone in the hall was so shocked by Ji Ming's remarks that everyone was holding their breath, wanting to see His Majesty's reaction and Huaiguzi's reaction.
By coincidence, Ji Ming laughed loudly, harshly, very harshly.
Ji Ming lowered his head, and the other half of his face was as red as if he had been slapped.
Ji Ming's heartbeat was very fast, and even if he didn't look back, he could already feel the eyes of everyone around him being fixed on him.
Ji Ming almost regretted it to death. When he returned to the palace, he would secretly have fun in his room and laugh as loud as he wanted.
Why didn't you hold back just now?
Ji Ming slapped himself hard in his heart.
No wonder I can get His Majesty's favor without sophora and millet.
Huaiguzi is so good at pretending that he has mastered the art of not being frightened.
No matter what blow he received, no matter what reward he received, Huai Guzi always looked indifferent and regarded everything in front of him as floating clouds.
But Huai Guzi is very vindictive, and everyone knows the villain's heart.
Ji Ming is still too young and has not experienced any major events.
Didn't he just retort a few words in front of His Majesty outright, why did he laugh out loud?
At that moment, Ji Ming seemed to see the gap between him and Huaiguzi. Compared with Huaiguzi, he still couldn't pretend that he could.
Ji Ming was thinking about how to explain, but before giving him time to think, Li Xin's voice came.
Li Xin frowned and asked, "Ji Ming, why are you laughing?"
"You seem very proud and gloating?"
Ji Ming subconsciously shouted: "I didn't."
Li Xin continued: "You don't? Are you not proud? Or are you not gloating?"
Ji Ming calmed down, took a deep breath, looked up at Ying Zheng, and saw that Ying Zheng had no reaction, he said slowly: "I was just laughing at myself."
"Laughing at myself for being so cowardly and soft-spoken. I serve His Majesty so loyally, yet I still attract criticism from you ministers."
"Your Majesty sees it in your eyes and hears it in your heart. How sad it is. Have you ever considered His Majesty's feelings?"
After Ji Ming finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.
Li Xin was dumbfounded. Ji Ming couldn't tell whether it was real or an act.
Li Xin touched Li Shui next to him and whispered: "Brother Huai, Ji Ming has made great progress. His acting skills are almost as good as yours."
Li Shui rolled his eyes at Li Xin.
Chunyu Yue, who had been tasting wine just now, immediately nodded after listening to it. With a slight drunkenness, he stood up and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am so ashamed."
"Eunuch Ji is right. I only considered myself and forgot about His Majesty's feelings."
"If it hadn't been for Eunuch Ji's reminder, we would still be unconscious. I'm ashamed of myself."
Li Shui was stunned by this scene, "Chun Yuyue, just drink the wine given by His Majesty. Listen to what you are saying."
Wang Wan and Li Si also turned their heads and looked at Chunyu Yue in confusion. They had drunk too much. Chunyu Yue looked like he had drunk too much and was already talking nonsense.
Ji Ming, who was already desperate, felt excited when he heard that Chun Yuyue actually stood up to speak for him.
Who would have thought that one day Dr. Da Qin would identify with him so much.
Ji Ming wiped his tears and grinned inadvertently.
