It was still a little dark in the early morning in Xianyang.
The faint crowing of roosters, accompanied by the moon still hanging in the sky, seemed particularly peaceful.
But all this has little to do with Wei Liao.
Someone came from the palace today and said that they were looking for someone in his house, which almost scared Wei Liao.
Judging from the situation yesterday, it would not be a good thing for anyone to come today. If they were labeled as rebels again, they would have little chance of survival.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
"Is what the Minister of the Chariots said true?" Wei Liao looked at the person coming from the palace with a look of fear. When he was woken up by the servants, his sleepiness disappeared as soon as he heard that someone was coming from the palace.
The person coming before him was a eunuch from the palace, named Wen Tao. Wei Liao probably didn't recognize him, so he just called him the Minister of the Chariots.
Wen Tao chuckled softly, his expression full of femininity. He then looked at Wei Liao and said, "Master 2500 is going to be very successful this time. The Emperor personally issued an order yesterday, ordering us to summon Master 2500 and those two gentlemen to the Xianyang Palace!"
"The Minister of the Chariots is praising me." Since nothing happened, Wei Liao felt relieved, but he disagreed with Wen Tao's talk of prosperity.
Wei Liao knew clearly who Ying Zheng was working for. He just summoned him into the palace because he appreciated his kindness in protecting the emperor.
"If Master Erwubai has nothing else to do, why not call those two gentlemen and bring them into the palace together?" Wen Tao looked at the sky and thought it was getting late, so he urged them.
After all, today's morning court session is the first legitimate court session since Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, and it cannot be late.
"I'm sorry for the delay. I'll send someone to call the two gentlemen right away." Wei Liao bowed slightly again before turning around and giving some instructions. Seeing the servants had left, he turned to Wen Tao and said, "Chefu Ling, please?"
Wen Tao looked at the jade pendant that Wei Liao handed over with his right hand, and knew what "please" meant. He looked around twice before taking the jade pendant without leaving any trace.
"Master, please bear with me in the future."
Wei Liao looked at the eunuch in front of him, whose face was about to burst into laughter, and felt disgusted for no reason. But he was a figure in the palace after all, and no one could predict what would happen to him in the future.
Li Si and Han Fei arrived quickly.
He was awake to begin with, and had been awake since the moment someone arrived in the palace.
Wen Tao didn't notice any difference between the two, but he knew that Ying Zheng was referring to these two, so he approached them with a smile: "May I ask if you two are Han Fei and Li Si?"
"That's right." It was still Li Si who spoke, and Han Fei saluted, all in one go, with all the etiquette in place. However, it was not like that in Wentao's eyes, and he seemed particularly cold.
So what if he is just cold? He is a eunuch after all. Although he does not have much power, he still depends on others to survive.
Not to mention that Wentao was just a messenger. Although he had been in the palace for some years, he was just a eunuch after all, no different from a slave, just a different name.
Wei Liao naturally saw that Wen Tao's smile was forced, and he didn't want to explain to Wen Tao. He just smiled and stopped him, saying, "Chefu Ling, you see everyone is here. Maybe they have entered the palace?"
Wen Tao looked at the two men with indifferent expressions and decided to make up his mind. He stopped worrying and looked at Wei Liao with a smile. He said, "Master 2500, two gentlemen, please?"
"please."
…
At this time, a group of people were already waiting outside the Xianyang Palace, but the palace gate was still closed.
The weather was still a little cold in the early morning, but no one in this group dared to cause trouble.
Logically speaking, it was time for the court meeting, but since no one in the palace passed on the message, they did not dare to make a fuss.
After all, there are few clean ones among them. They originally wanted Ying Zheng to not remember them. If they make trouble now, I am afraid that few of them will survive.
All they hope for now is to avoid being noticed by Ying Zheng, rather than fighting for power and profit.
Meng Ao, Cai Ze and Wang He, the three senior brothers, sat together. Just as they had thought yesterday, Bai Qi, who had just been named the God of Killing, did not come today.
But the wind is so cold that it's still a bit chilly.
"The Emperor has issued a verbal order, ordering Lord Wu'an, the Supreme General, and Prime Minister Cai to lead all the ministers in an audience!"
I don’t know how long it took before the gate of Xianyang Palace was opened by this feminine voice.
"I obey the emperor's orders."
The three of them naturally didn't say anything. They bowed respectfully and then slowly walked towards the Xianyang Palace.
The ministers behind him were already panicking, and now that they had been left out for a while, they felt even more uneasy. However, now that things had come to this, they could only pray that Ying Zheng would not care about it.
No matter what, now they can only follow the footsteps of the three people and walk towards the Xianyang Palace step by step.
…
Ying Zheng sat upright on the throne, glanced at Chen Xuan who was still sleeping, sighed slightly, and reached out to lift Chen Xuan up.
"Chen Xuan?! Chen Xuan?! Wake up, it's almost time for court!"
"Just go ahead, what does it have to do with me?" Chen Xuan still had his eyes closed, his body seemed to be fixed in the air, unable to move at all.
"What use do I have for you?" Ying Zheng threw Chen Xuan onto the table in front of him with a look of disgust. "I'm warning you, don't let me down later!"
"I know, I know." Chen Xuan lay on the table and answered weakly, as if he would fall asleep again in the next second.
Ying Zheng was at his wit's end. He straightened his sleeves and put on the crown. The twelve tassels once again blocked his face. At that moment, Ying Zheng seemed to have changed completely.
"Convey my decree and order Wu'an Jun, the Supreme General, and Prime Minister Cai to lead the officials into the palace."
There was no one in the empty hall, nor were there any large objects. Ying Zheng's words were not loud, but they filled the entire hall, allowing the people standing outside the door to hear them clearly.
