The eunuchs who could climb up from the lowest level of the palace were all people with clear minds.
In just an instant, Wei Qi understood what Zhao Gao meant.
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Zhao." Without any hesitation, Wei Qi hurriedly thanked him.
Zhao Gao smiled faintly and continued walking forward.
Wei Qi hurriedly came forward and bowed slightly as he followed behind Gao. His expression was as respectful as it could be.
Before long, everyone arrived in front of Zhangtai Palace.
"I, Zhao Gao, pay my respects to Your Majesty." Standing in front of Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Gao bowed and said in a clear voice.
"My dear minister, come in quickly." The First Emperor's excited voice rang out in the palace.
Zhao Gao reached out his left hand and grabbed the bag of potatoes. Just like that, he carried the potatoes with one hand and walked into Zhangtai Palace.
The First Emperor, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked in the direction of the door with anticipation.
When the First Emperor saw the bag in Zhao Gao's hand, his eyes lit up.
He slowly walked forward and placed the bag of potatoes on the ground. He opened the bag with both hands and flipped it open. The potatoes inside the bag appeared in front of the First Emperor.
After doing all this, Zhao Gao took out the bamboo scroll and placed it on the table in front of the First Emperor. Then, he naturally tucked his hands into his sleeves and slowly said,"Your Majesty, this bag contains potatoes. I estimate that there are about 60 to 70 catties. This bamboo scroll was told to me by Immortal Emperor Zi Wei. I was ignorant and only remembered a portion of the method to grow potatoes.”
Ding!
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the recognition of the First Emperor. Your favorability has increased to 75.”
The system's timely voice sounded in Zhao Gao's mind.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Gao was delighted.
His favorability had increased, so naturally, some people's favorability with the First Emperor would decrease.
This was a good thing.
The eyes of the First Emperor, who was sitting at the head of the table, only paused for a moment on the potato bag and bamboo slips before landing on Zhao Gao.
His gaze swept across the pale face and finally landed on Zhao Gao's red and swollen right hand.
Just like that, his eyes watched as Zhao Gao finished this series of things. Then, he put his hand back into his sleeve. In the end, he stopped at the position of the sleeve for a full five seconds.
"My dear minister, you have done everything for Great Qin and for me, so why should I blame you? What you have done is very good, very good, and you should be rewarded. Tell me, what reward do you want?”The First Emperor said gently.
"It is my duty to share the worries of the ruler and do my best for the country. I do not ask for any rewards. All I want is for Great Qin to prosper forever.”Zhao Gao said loudly.
He could more or less see through the First Emperor's thoughts.
This time, he was injured because of Meng Tian. However, Meng Tian was the pillar of the army and had made great contributions to Great Qin. How could the First Emperor punish her for a small clash?
Therefore, she wanted to give him some rewards as compensation.
Now, Zhao Gao had already become the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, the head of the internal officials. He had already reached the peak of an internal official.
Noble title? Promotion?
For now, it was unrealistic.
Ever since Lao Ai's chaos, the First Emperor had been on guard against his internal officials.
What he had done so far had made the First Emperor have a good impression of him, but it was far from that step.
The so-called rewards were nothing more than some gold, silver, jewelry, maids, servants, or houses. Zhao Gao didn't like these things and didn't want them.
What he wanted to do the most was to take that crucial step and participate in Great Qin's political affairs with a proper identity.
Not wanting the reward didn't mean that the First Emperor would forget about it.
If one time didn't work, then two times. If two times didn't work, then three times.
When Zhao Gao's contribution reached a high level, the First Emperor would finally be moved and let him take that step.
When the First Emperor heard Zhao Gao's words, a smile appeared on his dignified face.
"That's good too. Then when you return from the west, I will reward you heavily.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao bowed.
"Your Majesty, this subject will be traveling west for at least a month, at most several months. During this period of time, this subject will not be by Your Majesty's side. There should be someone to serve Your Majesty, manage the servants of the Imperial Palace, and share Your Majesty's worries.”
"I think Wei Qi is a good person. He is thoughtful and diligent.”Zhao Gao spoke again.
When the First Emperor heard Zhao Gao's words, he nodded in relief.
"Thank you for your concern, Minister. Wei Qi is indeed a good person.”
"Wei Qi." The First Emperor shouted in the direction of the door.
Wei Qi, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly walked in. He quickly walked forward and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Minister Zhao Ai recommended you to Zhen, and Zhen also felt that you handled things appropriately. From now on, you are the Chief Eunuch.”The First Emperor looked down at the Wei flag and said calmly.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I will do my best to help Your Majesty.”Wei Qi kowtowed repeatedly.
"Wei Qi, deliver the things that I ordered you to prepare to Minister Zhao's residence.”
At this point, the First Emperor paused and continued,""Bring Minister Zhao to the imperial physician to see how her injuries are and recover as soon as possible.”
"Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a round of thanks, Zhao Gao and Wei Qi walked out of Zhangtai Palace.
