Chapter 232 Zhonglangguan: No shame in losing to Zhang Ji
The censors were helpless, after all, it was obvious that their young king was trying to get angry with Zhang Ji on purpose, but Ying Zheng could play like this, but they couldn't really let Zhang Ji just stand there in a daze.

The censors of various countries are just historians. The emperors, princes, doctors, and magistrates are all set as "historians". They are responsible for recording the content of conversations and concurrently serving as secretaries. It is also within the scope of the censors' responsibility to be in charge of impeachment, picketing officials' negligence, and maintaining court order and etiquette.

If Zhang Ji didn't stand in front of where he should stand at the beginning of the court meeting, it would be a crime of disrespect, and according to Qin law, he would be punished with a cane.

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

Before the courtiers go to court for the first time, there is usually a censor to teach the etiquette of the court meeting. If they lose their manners at the first court meeting, the censor is guilty of the same crime, but the punishment can be reduced, and both parties can pay a fine.In the case of Zhang Ji going to court without being taught by the censor, there is a high probability that he can be exempted from responsibility.

But Zhang Ji can be exempted from responsibility. For these censors, failing to teach Zhang Ji etiquette in time is dereliction of duty.

Dereliction of duty is not just that simple, the crime of dereliction of duty can be big or small, the light one is punished with armor, and the serious one is beheaded.

Even though these experienced censors have never seen this kind of situation, and there are no examples for reference, it is estimated that twenty canes are inevitable.

Fortunately, after all, Ying Zheng was no longer that young man, but the King of Qin. Although he was still a little young at heart, he would not let Zhang Ji lose his dignity in front of the court, so he turned his head to look at Li Si.

Li Si understood, brought Zhang Ji to Ying Zheng's side, and stood in front of the officials.

As Yushi's shout fell, the last court meeting before Yingzheng's pro-government also kicked off.

"Meet the king!"

The civil and military officials paid homage in unison and bowed to salute.

Looking at the courtiers in black court uniforms bending over and saluting to him, even Yingzheng's young and mature mind could not help but feel a surge of emotion.

It is not the first time he has gone to the court. He has gone to the court at the age of 13 since he succeeded to the throne, but this time is definitely the court meeting that he is most looking forward to and makes him most excited and excited.

Because this is the first time he holds the power to hold a court meeting, because this is the court meeting where he is about to announce "the crowning ceremony, pro-national affairs", because this is the last court meeting before he takes power.

Power is like sweets and sweets, intoxicating, but Ying Zheng is not addicted to it, but suppresses the passion in his heart, and slowly stands up from the throne carved from the thousand-year-old black black jade.

Dressed in black clothes, with a pulley sword on his waist and a black jade pendant hanging, he walked down the steps called "Your Majesty", bowed to the officials in the same way, then straightened his body and stretched out his hands as support , Said in a deep voice: "Please rise, gentlemen."

"rise--!"

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

"sit--!"

Then, the group of officials slowly straightened up, and sat down on the soft cushions placed behind them under the second call of the old eunuch order.

"The king has an order—!"

Li Si gasped softly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The drafting and reading of the imperial edict should belong to Lang Guan, and last night Yingzheng praised his calligraphy because of his horizontal and vertical strokes and even roundness, and praised his calligraphy as "rising like floating clouds on a green mountain, and closing like a fish swimming in water", so The drafting and reading of the imperial edict were all entrusted to Li Si.

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

After the old eunuch Ling Zai exchanged a glance with Ying Zheng, he squinted his eyes and walked towards the officials with a smile on his face. Holding the dark imperial edict in both hands, he handed it to Li Si.

But there are some things, even if they are so close, they are far away.

"Sir, please read the imperial edict."

Li Si's eyes were about to burst, and he stared at the old eunuch Ling with wide eyes. He really wanted to stop the old eunuch Ling and say that he should read the imperial edict, but the remaining rationality told him that such a thing must not happen to the old eunuch. It must be Ying Zheng's order for Ling to make the decision privately.

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

With Zhang Ji's current favor, losing to him...it's not shameful.

With his own strength, he won the favor of the King of Qin and the Queen Mother. Not to mention his repeated rescues, he was even recognized by the Queen Mother as his adopted son. According to the rumors of the servants and maids, the wound medicine on Zhang Ji's wound was applied by the Queen Mother herself. , and then personally wrapped it with cloth strips.

With this kind of treatment and favor, as long as Zhang Ji does not rebel and lives to be 50 years old, then the Zhang family can prosper for at least three generations in Qin State.

The concubine Meng Jia, Mi Qi, Mi Dian, Feng Jie, Feng Quji, Li Xin, Qiang Yan and other officials who had the same idea.Everyone is either from a superior background or a talented person, and no one is convinced.

Li Si's victory over them is only because of Li Si's handwriting. In addition, Li Si is eight and a half feet tall, with wolf eyes and eagle nose, high cheekbones, and a round sky. Although he is not as handsome as his senior brother Han Fei, he is definitely He was born with a heroic and good-looking appearance, which is why he was given the task of reading the imperial edict by Political Commissar Ying.

But Zhang Ji...not to mention that losing to Zhang Ji is not ashamed, and secondly, Zhang Ji's current favor, power and reputation are absolutely impossible to compete with them on the same ladder, and have little impact on them.That is to say, as long as the fellow officials, especially Li Si, were not allowed to win, they had no objections.

Of course, the most important point is that everyone is soberly aware that this kind of thing must have been ordered by Ying Zheng, and it is impossible to get any good results from fighting against Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Zhang Ji bowed down respectfully and took the edict from the old eunuch Ling with both hands, then took a deep look at the eunuch Ling, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, old eunuch Ling."

Zhang Ji is not an idiot who doesn't understand the world. Looking at Li Si's appearance, he knew that he was the one who had decided to read the edict. The sudden change to himself was simply because the eyes of the old eunuch Ling and Ying Zheng met at that moment, and It was the old eunuch who ordered the initiative.

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

The old eunuch Ling smiled slightly, and his wrinkled face was squeezed out of many wrinkles because of the smile, and he nodded slightly.

Having served four generations of Qin Kings, he naturally knew nothing about the palace, but there were few things big or small that he couldn't hide from him.

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

His allegiance is to the State of Qin, not to any particular King of Qin.

The guest of Chu reported his death, and Qin Muyin stole the horse.

As the eunuch order beside the four generations of Qin Kings, he is familiar with these two stories.

Today's Zhang Ji has made great contributions to Yingzheng many times, just like the outstanding Tang Gui and the Qin people who stole the horse, so he is naturally willing to support Zhang Ji like he helped Lu Buwei in the past.

Of course, if one day, Zhang Ji has something wrong in his mind, then the relationship between him and Zhao Ji will also become Zhang Ji's reminder.

As for the thoughts of the old eunuch Ling, Zhang Ji naturally did not know. He held the imperial edict in his hand, exchanged glances with Ying Zheng who was sitting on the throne behind him, and looked down at the officials under the steps, slowly spreading out the black edict , took a deep breath.
