All the officials present did not dare to get into trouble with Ying Zheng at this time.

The king was forced to run in circles around the pillar just now, and he had already lost a lot of face. Who dares to get into trouble now?

Li Jiang couldn't help but suddenly thought of something...

[Two rabbits walking around the pillar, An Neng can tell that I am the King of Qin...]

Ying Zheng: ...Damn Li Jiang! !

The ministers were silent, Li Jiang was silent...

The atmosphere in the hall fell into silence for a while...

At the critical moment, only one person from the first palace dared to step forward to save him, which made everyone feel ashamed and even more curious about him.

This palace maid was not a martial artist, and even appeared randomly in Dayang Palace as a female palace maid.

Now that the king has been saved again, how will the king reward this innocent-looking female palace maid?

If Li Jiang knew that these ministers spoke so highly of her, she would probably put the mop head in their mouths.

But now all her attention was on Jing Ke, who had been torn into pieces by the guards and carried away, and on the bloody tiles on the ground.

[No way, no.Why treat Jing Ke like this! 】

[Why do we have to do it in the main hall! 】

[This is my job right now. I have to wipe the floor. There is so much blood. How many times do I have to wipe it away to clean it up! 】

Originally, Ying Zheng did not want to attack Yan State so soon.

The plan he formulated with Li Si and others was the strategy of "destroying the princes, proclaiming himself emperor, and unifying the world."

We must first win over the big country Yan Qi, stabilize the remote Wei Chu, and eliminate the small country Han and Zhao who are close by.

Make friends from far away and attack at close range, defeat them one by one.

But now Yan State seriously provoked his bottom line and dared to send people to assassinate him.

Then he doesn't mind conquering the Yan Kingdom first and killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!

To avoid assassinating him in the future under the pretext of being an envoy for peace talks!

All civil and military officials in the court were silent, except for the Meng family whose faces were pale.

Jing Ke was able to go to court because Ying Zheng wanted Fan Yuqi's head and map.

But Meng Jia spared no effort to speak well of Jing Ke, and even described Jing Ke as a literati with no power to tie a chicken.

It made him careless.

Who would believe him if he said there was nothing wrong and Jing Ke’s benefits would be confiscated?

"Come here! Take Meng Jia to prison and search the mansion."

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Meng Jia, who was shaking like chaff.

"If it is found that Meng Jia and Jing Ke have close contacts, they will be treated as collaborators and treason! They will be punished by being ripped apart while driving!"

"If it is proven that Meng Jia is innocent, I will forgive you for your unintentional mistake!"

Meng Jia was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground.

When all the ministers saw him like this, they all understood that Meng Jia's fate was destined.

As for Qin Wuyang, who had never been mentioned, he had been dragged outside the palace and was about to turn into meat.

After Li Jiang waited for Ying Zheng to give the order, he tremblingly walked around the bloodstains on the ground and picked up the mop that was knocked away by Jing Ke.

Prepare to clean up the blood stains on the main hall.

[Fortunately, I made a mop so I wouldn’t have to wipe the blood all over the floor with my own hands. 】

"Li Jiang."

Ying Zheng walked step by step to the main hall and sat down: "Come to me."

Li Jiang was startled, then walked step by step to the side of the hall with the mop.

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and pointed at Li Jiang: "I was assassinated, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were helpless. Only one person in the palace fought to save him."

"What do you want? You saved me, and I will repay you."

[I want to take care of Zhao Gao!Let him be my little follower! 】

"Go back to the king. It's my honor to be able to save the king. Besides, I didn't do anything."

Li Jiang bowed humbly.

[Just kidding, who can say so brazenly in front of the monarch: I saved you, you have to repay me! 】

Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiang's serious look!

Somewhat helpless, if he hadn't been able to hear Li Jiang's inner voice, she would have been fooled.

In fact, Ying Zheng wanted to reward Li Jiang not entirely because Li Jiang saved him.

As Li Jiang said, in Xianyang Palace, anyone should save him when he was assassinated.

It would be wrong not to save the driver.

The biggest reason for this reward is because Li Jiang's prediction that Jing Ke would assassinate the King of Qin came true.

Whether it's a coincidence or because Li Jiang is really capable.

If what she said came true, it would be impossible for Ying Zheng to let her leave the palace or go somewhere else.

He had to keep her with him.

"Okay! For a woman to be so courageous, I will make you an unusual servant. From now on, you will be my personal assistant."

As soon as this order came out, all the officials were in an uproar.

Zhongchangshi is a close official of the king who serves on the left and right.

Although it is a false position, it can be regarded as setting a precedent for women to serve as officials.

(Equivalent to the work of the emperor's personal maids, nuns in charge, and personal eunuchs in later dynasties.)

Was Zhao Gao shocked?He was shocked!

Li Jiang reached the sky in one step, and it fell directly on his head!

What's even more amazing is that Li Jiang's official position is just right and puts him under pressure.

Why did he push Li Jiang up to block the knife?

It's because he wants to save him, but he's afraid of death!

Didn't he know that if he saved the king, he would become the king's confidant?

He knows, but he is afraid that if King Qin is gone, there will be another King of Qin.

He is gone... really gone...

To put it bluntly, if the King of Qin is gone, he can still go to other countries and find another job.

But who would have thought!This Jing Ke is such a waste!

I thought I could enter the palace and assassinate him single-handedly, but I was still a master.

But I didn't expect that he was just a piece of shit, and he dared to stab him with a knife!

If he knew that Jing Ke was such a waste, he would have stepped forward to save him. Such a huge credit should have belonged to him.

Zhao Gao beat his chest with regret!

After Li Jiang found out the size of her official position, she became excited.

[Okay now, Zhao Gao, that bitch, let you push me out to block the knife! 】

[I have to learn from you! 】

[Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao, you are really unlucky to fall into my hands! 】

So, from this moment on, Li Jiang had a place in the court.

She held her head high, walked to the right side of Ying Zheng, where Zhao Gao was originally, and thrust the mop into the stunned Zhao Gao's hand.

Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao, tapped Ying Zheng's left side with his chin, and signaled Zhao Gao to give up his position.

The Qin Dynasty respected the right, but now she has a higher official position than Zhao.

She should be sitting on the right side of Ying Zheng.

Seeing Li Jiang's sullen expression, Zhao Gao felt angry and humiliated.

What is this!

Downwards.

Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials in his study, and his ears were filled with the murmurs of his newly appointed minister.

Li Jiang took Zhao Gao outside the door and together they went to the tool room in the side hall.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for pushing me just now! Your posture is quite handsome."

Zhao Gao was confused and couldn't understand what Li Jiang's words meant, but he also knew that they were not good words.

This little girl must have been grudged by her because he pushed her out to block the king's sword just now.

I originally thought that even if she won the king's favor in the future, she would be placed in the harem.

I never thought of entering the court directly.

What a...misstep. If he had known that the king had no intention of placing her in the harem, he should have acted first.

End her early to avoid becoming his political enemy.

When Zhao Gao thought of this, his face was full of smiles: "Xiaguan was also anxious just now. The situation was extremely dangerous at that time, so subconsciously..."

"What's more, the lower official has helped Miss Li Jiang..."

Hearing this, Li Jiang glanced at Zhao Gao sideways, and Zhao Gao quickly smiled and nodded in apology: "Isn't it true that I have given you a helping hand, and built a Qingyun Ladder for you?"

[Tsk, I need you to set up a ladder for me? 】

[If you hadn’t pushed me, would I have been beaten away just because I wasn’t prepared and the mop didn’t even work? 】
