The battle at Hangu Pass is about to break out.
I'm afraid that this place will never have peace for a long time.
And now, the situation in Xianyang City of Qin State is also full of gunpowder.
Ever since Lu Zhi experienced the pain of losing her son, she has been planning how to gain some power for herself.
At the same time, he did not forget to be intimate with Lao Ai all the time.
Right at this critical juncture.
A eunuch returned to Xianyang City.
He is Gao Lishi.
At first, Ying Yuan seemed very angry when he heard the news of his return.
He remembered that he had asked him to just do what he was supposed to do.
What should be done?
That must be helping the Queen Mother eavesdrop on me.
This is great, how come he is helping me?
Could it be that I didn't explain it clearly to him?
Fortunately, his name is Gao Lishi, and in previous history, he was a corrupt official and a powerful minister.
Otherwise, Ying Yuan would have killed him long ago.
He now hopes that one day Gao Lishi or the officials in the court can wake up as soon as possible.
Completely carry forward their attributes as treacherous ministers.
It is precisely for this reason.
So no matter what those officials did that went against his wishes, he would choose to endure it.
After all, they are all notorious treacherous ministers in history!
Absolutely not killing!
Maybe one day, they will do something that will harm the country.
When that time comes, I will definitely be grateful to myself now for not killing them.
However, at this stage, those who should be angry should still be angry.
So Gao Lishi returned to Xianyang and wanted to meet him, but he flatly refused.
The other party didn't understand.
I have made such a great contribution, it would be fine if the emperor didn't reward me.
How come you can’t even see me?
After Daji learned about this, she became thoughtful and summoned Gao Lishi to her palace.
She asked earnestly, "Do you know why His Majesty didn't summon you?"
At this time, Gao Lishi was kneeling down in front of Daji, not even daring to raise his head, and shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, I am a fool and do not understand the will of the Holy Lord."
Hearing this, Daji smiled and said, "After Ying Chengjiao's death, there was a huge uproar throughout the government and the country.
And you are the one who experienced and created this mutiny, so your every move is watched by many people.
An eunuch returns to Xianyang and immediately meets Your Majesty. If Your Majesty meets you, especially at such a sensitive time.
Once this gets out, how will people in this world talk about Your Majesty?
If the people were to associate you with Ying Chengjiao, where would they place Your Majesty?"
She had just figured out why Ying Yuan didn't want to see Gao Lishi.
After all, the public's reputation towards Ying Yuan has just improved.
At such a critical moment, if the common people met Gao Lishi, I am afraid they would start to make wild guesses.
At that time, it will be linked to the deceased King Chang'an, and it will be said that the emperor and the eunuchs conspired to harm the King Chang'an.
So, once public opinion has brewed to this extent, how should it end?
There's no way to end it.
Moreover, the officials will also have complaints.
However, if Your Majesty does not choose to meet Gao Lishi at the first opportunity, all these contradictions will be resolved.
Your Majesty, you are truly able to see the big picture from the small details.
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure.
Your Majesty has grasped this kind of detail to perfection.
With such a situation, Your Majesty, how could you not be victorious against a mere Prince of Chang'an?
actually...
Ying Yuan just hated Gao Lishi a little bit now, but didn't want to kill him, so he chose to avoid him.
I didn't think so much about it at all.
Gao Lishi listened to the queen's words completely.
He kept kowtowing and shouting "Your Majesty is wise!"
I couldn't help but think about it.
Your Majesty still values me!
In order not to feel bad, he asked the Queen to convey his intentions to His Majesty.
It’s worth it, even if I die in Lingbao Mountain, it’s worth it.
From now on, I must serve Your Majesty as much as possible!
Otherwise, the emperor’s grace is so great that there is no way to repay it!
If Ying Yuan heard their conversation, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Alright, I'm aware of your loyalty and will report it to His Majesty truthfully from now on.
I have summoned you here today not only to explain His Majesty's intentions, but also to ask you something."
Daji said indifferently.
The Queen Mother's dominance is fully displayed.
"Your Majesty, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know!"
Gao Lishi said quickly.
He now considers himself a die-hard fan of the Emperor and the Empress.
In fact, most eunuchs would immediately show their loyalty as long as they received a little favor from the emperor.
That's because they all knew very well that everything they had came from the emperor.
A eunuch without the emperor is worthless.
Daji waved her sleeves, and some maids in the palace retreated one after another.
Only Hu Ximei was left to serve.
Only then did Daji slowly ask, "I heard that you have been helping the Queen Mother deal with His Majesty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Lishi shuddered instantly, thinking, is it possible that after using me, I will be punished later?
Even if it's like crossing the river and destroying the bridge, isn't it a bit too fast?
He could only kneel down and beg for mercy, "My Lady, I was threatened by the Queen Mother and had to do that.
