To tell you the truth, Your Majesty goes to bed late at night every day because he deals with court affairs. Sometimes he stays up all night for the sake of the country.
Such a diligent emperor is called a tyrant by you. Don't you really feel ashamed in your hearts?"
Dealing with state affairs until late at night?
Even sleepless nights?
Is this something a tyrant could do?
In fact, it was just that Ying Yuan had just arrived and there was no nightlife in the palace.
After all, as an emperor, he couldn't even find anyone to drink with in the middle of the night.
Apart from the dance steps created by Zhao Feiyan, she was not very interested in other dance and music.
His only nightlife was having sex with Daji.
Over time, I lost interest.
I had no choice but to be alone, fantasizing about the scene when I became a Daluo Jinxian.
However, such scenes were considered as diligence by the eunuchs around him.
If Ying Yuan heard about this, he would probably be so angry that he would be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Even if what you said is true, when we accompanied him to the morning court some time ago, he let those ministers who had committed crimes go unpunished. What was the reason? Tolerating treacherous ministers, isn't that foolish?"
Nie Yinniang continued to ask.
Zhao Gao responded calmly, "How could a scoundrel like you have guessed your majesty's wisdom? Your majesty did that for the sake of the Qin Empire."
In this time of national crisis, how can the court function without the support of ministers? How can the problems arising from the war in various regions be resolved?
Besides, do you really think that after Your Majesty burned the memorial, it was truly gone? Didn't Your Majesty make a copy?
Given the intelligence of the ministers, couldn't they have guessed that His Majesty had left a copy? That was His Majesty's way of making the ministers cautious, so that they could better serve the country during this national crisis.
You, you know nothing, and you think that just by hearing a few words, you are certain that His Majesty is a tyrant. You really don't know what you are talking about."
“But…but, before the national crisis, everyone said that Your Majesty was licentious and immoral!
Moreover, during this period of national crisis, he actually took a prostitute as his concubine. How can this be explained?"
Nie Yinniang asked relentlessly.
Zhao Gao took a deep breath and slowly explained, "Your Majesty is so licentious and immoral? How ridiculous!
Your Majesty has been on the throne for nearly three years. In these three years, besides the Empress and Concubine Zhao, have you been with anyone else? Your Majesty is so devoted to you, yet you accuse him of being promiscuous?
As for the matter of Concubine Jieyu, you only saw the surface phenomenon. This involves the Empress Dowager, so I am not in a position to answer.
But in short, your majesty's move is intended to maintain stability in the court. Perhaps you will know about this later.
As for your Majesty's reputation before the national crisis...
I would like to ask you, when Your Majesty first ascended the throne, the court was full of powerful ministers, Your Majesty had no real power, and was also facing the threat of life. In that situation, what did you want Your Majesty to do?
Over the years, Your Majesty has been patient and cautious in his actions, all for the purpose of finding an appropriate opportunity to get rid of the powerful ministers.
The national crisis was undoubtedly the best opportunity. Your Majesty seized this opportunity and gradually gained a foothold in the court. News also came that Minister Cao had won a great victory.
Do you think it's easy for Your Majesty?
You have been saying that His Majesty is incompetent and wicked, but have you ever seen the scene when His Majesty first ascended the throne and swallowed all the grievances in his stomach and endured them silently in order to protect himself?
Have you ever seen the scene where His Majesty hid alone in a corner of the hall and stared blankly until he burst into tears when he heard that the people in a certain place in Daqin were suffering from a disaster?
Have you ever seen the scene where His Majesty is willing to risk his life in order to check and balance the powerful ministers?
Have you ever seen His Majesty racking his brains to handle state affairs?
Have you ever seen the real His Majesty?
No! You haven't seen anything, but you've heard some rumors, and you say that Your Majesty is a tyrant. Do you think this is fair to Your Majesty?
Even if we take a step back and say that before the national crisis, Your Majesty, in order to conceal his own shortcomings, did not hesitate to pretend to be obsessed with women all day long... But apart from that, has Your Majesty ever done anything that would infuriate God and man?
Has Your Majesty expended the nation's resources to build wonders for yourself?
Your Majesty, have you been harsh on the people in your government policies?
Has Your Majesty ever engaged in excessive military spending and waged wars in all directions?
Has Your Majesty ever engaged in large-scale construction projects, wasting the people's money and labor?
Your Majesty has never done anything that we have mentioned above.
To be honest, Your Majesty even tries to save as much as possible on his own mausoleum.
However, it is ridiculous that such a respectable emperor is described as a tyrant in your mouths."
