Stepping into Empress Dowager Ji's bedroom, Jiang Li circulated his internal energy to make his footsteps disappear.
Stealthily entering the village and not shooting was one of the criteria for climbing the palace walls at night.
On the other side, Lady Zhao was wearing a robe embroidered with gold and phoenix, which was mainly black and supplemented by red. The phoenix crown on her head had long been taken off, and her three thousand black hair fell behind her back, reaching her waist, soft and elegant.
The kings and marquises of the Qin country were all valued in black, so most people wore black as the main style, including official robes and crown robes.
At this moment, Zhao Ji was kneeling in front of a table filled with bamboo slips. They were memorials to the court.
The court meeting of the State of Qin was not held every day. If nothing major happened, it would usually be held once every five days.
If the court meeting was held every day, the court officials would waste half a day just by attending the court meeting. What else could they do?
As Ying Zheng had yet to take charge of the government, the Qin country's court memorials were usually first reported to the court, then reviewed by the Prime Minister's Office, followed by Concubine Zhao, and finally Ying Zheng.
To put it simply, it was mainly dependent on Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji's attitude. If both of them agreed, Ying Zheng would sign and sign. He was simply a tool, a mascot placed at the top.
The edict left behind by King Zhuang Xiang was that Ying Zheng would succeed the throne as the monarch. Before Ying Zheng reached the crown, Prime Minister Lu Buwei would supervise the country and assist the government. Empress Dowager Zhao Ji would listen to the government behind the curtain.
From this, it could be seen that King Zhuang Xiang's arrangement was reasonable. Ying Zheng was only thirteen years old when he became the monarch. No matter how talented he was, it was impossible for him to manage the Qin country.
Lu Buwei supervised the country and assisted the government, while the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji listened to the government behind the curtain. This was also deliberately done by King Zhuang Xiang to prevent Lu Buwei from monopolizing power and pulling out a force of checks and balance.
King Zhuang Xiang could clearly see that Zhao Ji was not interested in power and was not very capable. Even if she was suppressed by Lu Buwei, she would not harm her son. At least, she could return the power to Ying Zheng when he was in power and pass it on safely.
Unfortunately, King Zhuang Xiang never expected that Zhao Ji was a woman who would give up everything for a man. She had caused quite a mess.
Of course, this chaos was successfully exploited by Ying Zheng. He directly removed two mountains. Empress Dowager Ji and Lu Buwei were both expelled from the royal court. From then on, the Ancestral Dragon held the royal power and pointed his sword at the six countries. In just a decade, he swept through the six countries and unified the world.
The world always lamented the impermanence of the world, and it was the same for the Great Qin Dynasty. After Ying Zheng died, Zhao Gao quickly ascended the throne and used the web to weave a conspiracy to bury the Great Qin Dynasty. In the end, Liu Bang picked up a big bargain. Xiang Yu committed suicide on the river, and the 400-year-old Great Han was born.
The history books of later generations evaluated the dynasties as starting from Xia, strong in Shang, polite in Zhou, domineering in Qin, strong in Han, chaotic in Jin, strong in Sui, prosperous in Tang, rich in Song, strong in Ming, and humiliated in Qing.
The Qin State had existed for a long time. In 770 B.C., Duke Xiang of Qin escorted King Ping of Zhou to the east and was granted the title of vassal. The Qin State was founded and was destroyed in 206 B.C. The Qin State had existed for 564 years.
However, Great Qin's true power only lasted for 12 years after Ying Zheng unified the world. Ying Zheng ruled Great Qin for 37 years, but he only became the First Emperor for 12 years.
In front of the low rectangular desk, Lady Zhao threw away the bamboo slips and brush in her hand. She supported her chin with her palm and was in a daze.
In the dead of the night, she was not in the mood to read the memorial. Her mind was filled with that dog's figure, and she could not shake it off no matter how hard she tried.
"Dog thing, so annoying. BenGong will definitely teach you a lesson and even want BenGong to give you an official title. At that time, I will give you the title of Empress Dowager's young servant and let you raise horses for BenGong.”
Concubine Zhao humphed to herself. Her fine eyebrows curved into a crescent moon, and her eyes were filled with smiles.
That dog must be looking forward to being conferred some official position and let him raise horses and manage carriages. That dog's face would definitely be black and he would have to beg her.
She thought about how she had been bullied by that dog, but she had no choice but to take revenge on him and anger him to death.
"Young servant of the Empress Dowager, horse keeper…"
Zhao Ji muttered and couldn't help but laugh.
"Sister Ji, you're a little unreasonable. Mr. Li misses you day and night and risked the three tribes to come to Ganquan Palace to meet you late at night, but you secretly plan to let me raise horses. Is this really good?”
An extremely resentful voice suddenly appeared and echoed in the hall.
Zhao Ji was shocked, but she quickly calmed down. She had expected that the dog would sneak in. After all, that dog was a pervert.
Looking around, she didn't see that dog. She didn't know where it was hiding. Zhao Ji said expressionlessly to the air,"What's wrong with raising horses? The Empress Dowager's young servant is a minister, and one step above that is the Grand Servant, which is the minister of the Qin country. With your little ability, being a young servant is already considered as BenGong showing mercy.”
"Young servant can't do it. Mister Li can't do it. I've never seen such a waste of talent.”
" Heh…" Lady Zhao spat lightly." It's up to you whether you want to be or not. In any case, there's only the position of the Empress Dowager's young servant. Even if you run to the Recruitment Palace and recommend yourself, I'll still give you the position of the Empress Dowager's young servant."”
"Sister Ji, Mister Li is very angry…"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Li suddenly appeared beside Empress Dowager Ji. He sat next to her, then picked her up and put her on his lap, staring at her silently.
"What are you looking at, bengong wants to make you the empress dowager's young servant.”
Zhao Ji looked up and looked down. She was full of arrogance. Her eyes seemed to be saying that as long as you were obedient and served me well, you would be rewarded greatly. Otherwise, you would be a horse keeper and nothing else.
"Young servant of the Empress Dowager?"
Jiang Li smiled. He studied Empress Dowager Ji's beautiful face and mesmerizing figure as he asked softly,""Choose one of the two.”
"Impossible, don't even think about it." Zhao Ji shook her head and didn't choose any of them.
"Empress Dowager, you're not obedient. Mister Li is getting angrier and angrier.”Jiang Li said.
Hearing his tone and the look in the dog's eyes, Ms. Zhao was even angrier than him. She scolded,"You are presumptuous. This prince is the empress dowager, how dare you speak to this prince like this?
"I know, you don't need to introduce me." Jiang Li nodded and whispered in her ear,""During the day, you are the empress dowager, but at night, you are Sister Ji, do you understand? If he didn't want to be bullied, then he would give Mr. Li an official title and a title of Marquis.”
" You..." Lady Zhao was embarrassed and angry. She opened her mouth to bite him because she couldn't beat him.
Unfortunately, Mister Li was quick to react and struck first. With a wave of his sleeve, the bamboo slips on the desk were swept away and Empress Dowager Ji was placed on the desk.
At this moment, Mistress Zhao was really panicking. She slapped Jiang Li a dozen times but realized that it was useless. She said angrily,""Let go of bengong, how dare you, bengong will order the internal guards to chop off your head.
"Announce it." Jiang Li's expression was calm as he smiled faintly.""Mister Li is not afraid of the internal guards…"
Concubine Zhao frowned and glared at him. She said matter-of-factly,"I am the Empress Dowager…You must listen to me.”
" I'm sorry," Jiang Li denied with a smile." The Empress Dowager only appears during the day. There's no one at night."”
" You b * stard…" Lady Zhao scolded angrily. This dog was too much. He didn't put her in his eyes. Did he think she was a concubine? He could bully her however he wanted.
Ignoring Empress Dowager Ji's angry gaze, Jiang Li returned to the main topic.""Don't try to distract me. Choose one of the two.”
"If BenGong doesn't choose, don't even think about it." Zhao Ji tilted her head. She had finally found a way to control him.
"It's good that you don't choose. It's exactly what I want." Jiang Li smiled again. Mr. Li wouldn't lose anything anyway.
"Hmm?"
Confused, Lady Zhao's expression changed drastically. She slapped Jiang Li hard, exclaiming in apology," Don't…I'll choose…Both. I'll give you the title of Marquis, and I'll give you the title of Prime Minister."”
"The time has passed. I can't choose now.”
"Jiang Li, you bastard, you're not allowed to be here.”
