Chapter 25: Official Appointment



Zhao Jun and others stood there looking at the hall not far away.

There was a lifelike Qilin and a few large characters carved on the door of the main hall. Zhao Jun could not understand Qin characters, but thinking of what Ying Zheng had said before, he guessed that it should be the three words "Qilin Hall".

Qilin Hall, the highest political center of Qin State.

She stared blankly for a moment.

Until now, a voice came from inside.

Summon Zhao Jun to an audience——

She looked away and walked slowly inside with a sullen face.

She is here.

At this time, the hall was already full of people, and Li Si was still the leader.

Zhao Jun walked through the crowd and came to the front under the gazes that were either direct or obscure.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you."

Zhao Jun knelt in the middle and saluted. I don’t know if she called herself a humble official or not. The former female historian in front of the emperor should also be an official, right?

"Get up." Ying Zheng spoke from the top seat.

Zhao Jun stood up and looked up silently.

So this is what it feels like to look at Ying Zheng from this position. He feels even more aloof.

For some reason, a line of poetry popped up in her mind: It’s lonely at the top.

"My lords, in the past few months, under the leadership of Lord Zhao, our Qin State has harvested a large number of high-yield grain crops. This is a huge contribution to Qin. Therefore, I have decided to appoint her as the Internal History of Grain. Do you have any objections?"

Ying Zheng's voice like a huge bell came from above, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Li Si was standing next to the King of Zhao. He had already received news about Ying Zheng's decision today.

Li Si was not surprised. He looked at Zhao Jun with a smile and stood up and said.

"I believe that Lady Zhao has made great contributions and has benefited the people. She is truly worthy of the position of Internal History."

Ying Zheng sat on it and nodded with satisfaction.

The Prime Minister has nodded, so how could the people below not know what it means?

Messages about Ms. Zhao had already been circulating in the palace before. The tomatoes that everyone ate before were grown by her.

Everyone was prepared for this matter, but what they didn't expect was that he would be appointed as the Internal History of Grain, which meant he would suddenly become one of the Nine Ministers.

Some people below were secretly worried that this position was a bit too high.

But what can be done? No one can persuade the king to obey the order he has already given.

Then all the civil and military officials in the court stood up and expressed their full agreement without any objection.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then it's settled."

Soon Ying Zheng made the final decision on this matter.

Zhao Jun stood silently by, watching the people around him secretly exchange glances.

She herself was also surprised. She didn't expect that Ying Zheng would give her such a high official position.

She stood aside and took in everyone's reactions.

Just when she thought this matter would be hotly debated and opposed, the court was surprisingly peaceful, with everyone nodding and smiling in agreement.

Zhao Jun looked at these people exchanging glances and then couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Ying Zheng's words were more effective than she thought.

A court meeting that she thought would be very turbulent ended so peacefully.

Zhao Jun felt a little regretful in his heart. Why were these people so cowardly and didn't refute?

If you don't refute, then all the debate speeches I prepared will be completely useless.

I haven't yet shown my prowess in debating with the scholars in the court.

Alas, what a pity.

Zhao Jun shook his head pretending to be helpless, but in fact he was secretly delighted.

"What nonsense are you thinking about again?"

Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slips in his hand and gently tapped the head of the person next to him, making a "pop" sound.

Something seemed amiss since I just left the court. Are you so happy that you've gone mad?

"Oh, please calm down, Your Majesty." Zhao Jun rubbed his head that was hit and said with a smile.

"I was just wondering how I should thank the king. I didn't expect that the king would actually give me such a high position. I really don't know how to repay the king. The king is really trustworthy, kind-hearted, knows how to use people, and is wealthy and generous."

Zhao Jun blurted out several inappropriate idioms.

Successfully received the glare from Qin Shi Huang.

"I don't need your reward, just do what you should do."

"Okay, my king. I will definitely work hard in the future." Zhao Jun said with a grin.

"Well, my king, I'll go down first. I got up too early today and I'm so sleepy. I want to go back and catch up on some sleep."

Zhao Jun covered his mouth and yawned silently.

"Go down, and take up your post at the Xianyang Internal Affairs Office tomorrow."

Seeing her listless look, Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked her to go back.

"Um, can I ask when the Internal Affairs Secretary Zhisu will arrive?"

Zhao Jun remembered her fear of being dominated by Mao Shi, and couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"You can arrive whenever you want."

Ying Zheng looked at her with a gentle expression and calm eyes.

The gentle tone of voice made Zhao Jun shudder and he ran away quickly.

After leaving the house, Zhao Jun patted his chest in fear. What did Ying Zheng mean by this?

Forget it, never mind.

Not only did she pass the exam, she even became the director of a certain bureau.

The promotion came so quickly, it was definitely not because of any backdoor communication with her boss.

Zhao Jun was in a good mood, and the sleepiness he had felt in the hall just now disappeared instantly.

She thought about it and decided to go back and lie down even if she wasn't sleepy.

Nothing is going well in the palace. If you are not careful, you will run into someone you shouldn't run into.

After a while...

Zhao Jun has never felt that he is such a pessimist.

How come she actually encountered something?

But fortunately, it’s not Fusu this time.
