The Moon Goddess was deeply trusted by the King of Qin, and the mansion she was given was extremely luxurious.
In the huge courtyard of the Imperial Advisor's Mansion, there was the Wan Xiang Platform built by the King of Qin for the Moon Goddess. It was hundreds of feet high, with green jade as the stairs and white jade as the railings. It was as luxurious as a jade building.
As the Moon Goddess strolled up the spiral shaped stairs, Yun Xiao, who was used to seeing modern high-rise buildings, couldn't help but click his tongue. It seemed that Ying Zheng thought highly of the Moon Goddess, but thinking about how the Moon Goddess was born in the Moon Sect, she had the ability to observe the stars and predict the future, which was exactly what Ying Zheng, the emperor, needed. Thinking about the Epang Palace built by the First Emperor and the tomb of the First Emperor built for him, it was not a big deal. However, it could also be seen that the Yin-Yang School had an extraordinary status in the Qin State.
The Wan Xiang Stage had a radius of two acres. In the middle of it was a towering building that looked like the legendary Moon Palace. It was also paved with green jade and had white jade pillars.
Yueshen was kneeling behind a jade table, still wearing a veil covering her bright eyes. Shaosi Ming also wore a white veil covering her face. She and Great Si Ming stood quietly behind Yueshen.
Yun Xiao sat on the seat of honor and said to the Moon Goddess, who had returned to her usual cold state," Moon Goddess, tell me about the Yin Yang School's arrangement.”
"Yes.""The Yin-Yang School sent me, Great Siming, Young Siming, Yun Zhongjun, Xing Hun, and others. Yun Zhongjun was kept by the King of Qin as a magician because he was good at Huang Lao's alchemy skills. Lord Xing Hun and I were conferred the title of the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Moon Goddess was good at observing the stars and often divined things for the King of Qin. As for Lord Xing Hun, he was to help the State of Qin deal with some anti-Qin forces in the Jianghu.”
"Then is there anything unusual in the Imperial Court of the State of Qin these days?”Yun Xiao thought that the Qin State had already unified the world, so it was not far from the beginning of the plot.
"According to Prime Minister Li Si's report, the remaining forces of the Six Nations are brewing a big conspiracy against the Empire, and the center of this storm is the Mo Family."”
" Mo Family," Yun Xiao muttered.
"That's right, it's the Mohist School, one of the five great schools of thought in the world. Not to attack Mohism, but to love all his life. Mohism had always advocated governing the world with benevolence. Among the various schools of thought, Mohism was the most resistant to the rule of the empire.”Yueshen thought that Yun Xiao didn't understand the Mo Family and explained.
Yun Xiao shook his head and said with a smile," The Mohism claimed to govern the world with benevolence, but in fact, it was just an excuse for them to oppose Ying Zheng. In this chaotic world, if Ying Zheng did not carry out brutal suppression and bloodbath, it would only bring more disasters to this ununified empire.”
This was the first time the Moon Goddess had heard such a thing. She asked curiously,"Does the Holy Son agree with the bloody rule of the King of Qin?"
"It doesn't matter if you agree or not. During the chaos of the seven countries, using violence to deal with violence is the best method.。。。。”Yun Xiao did not finish his sentence.
" Let's not talk about this. Is there anything urgent in the imperial court recently?" Yun Xiao asked the Moon Goddess.
"Yes, recently, we are discussing whether to vigorously attack the Hundred Schools of Thought that are against the Qin country. Prime Minister Li Si advised the King of Qin to exile the Hundred Schools of Thought and eradicate them one by one.”The Moon God said.
" What about the Moon Goddess's opinion?" Yun Xiao's expression was very serious as he looked at the Moon Goddess.
"The king of Qin asked for my opinion, but I did not agree or object.”Yueshen replied.
" In fact, the Moon Goddess agreed in her heart, but she was afraid that the King of Qin would suspect your purpose, so she didn't say it, right?" Yun Xiao said with certainty after hearing the Moon Goddess's answer.
"That's right, I naturally agree to use the Qin Empire's strength to weaken the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and strengthen the Yin-Yang School.”After hearing Yueshen's words, Yun Xiao did not say anything when Great Si Ming said," Yueshen has done her best for the Yin Yang School. What's there to ask?"”He glanced at Yun Xiao disdainfully.
"That's why you only see the benefits in front of you and ignore the crisis behind you. If you do this, I'm afraid that the Yin-Yang School will not be as good as the other Hundred Schools of Philosophy.”Yun Xiao said leisurely.
" Oh, Lord Holy Son, why are you doing this?" Yueshen's expression undoubtedly showed her suspicion. Young Si Ming and Great Si Ming also looked at Yun Xiao.
"Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, we Yin-Yang School cooperated with the State of Qin. The State of Qin used our strength to suppress the sects that opposed the rule of the empire, while we Yin-Yang School used the unified State of Qin to strengthen ourselves. The relationship between us and the State of Qin is like the relationship between hunters and wolves. We are wolves who rely on the hunters to gain benefits, while the hunters rely on our familiarity with the same kind to hunt the rest of the wolves. Imagine, when all the same kind of wolves are caught by the hunters," What will happen to those wolves who have joined the hunters?" Yun Xiao asked the three people seriously.
" Hiss!" Great Si Ming couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Young Si Ming only looked at Yun Xiao in surprise, while Moon Goddess's pretty face was a little pale. She bowed to Yun Xiao and said respectfully," Please enlighten me, Holy Son."”
Yun Xiao helped Yueshen up and secretly touched Yueshen's palm when Great Si Ming was not paying attention. Yueshen was a little stunned. She did not expect that the Holy Son, who was just mentioned, would make such a frivolous move. Could it be that I have become younger and more beautiful as he said?
Yun Xiao's expression turned serious." While we help the Qin State to deal with the other schools, we must suppress their strength and obtain resources from the Qin State to strengthen our Yin-Yang School. However, we cannot completely obliterate them. It's like raising livestock. We can cut off their flesh at any time, but if we want to eat their flesh for a long time, we cannot cut off all their flesh at once.”
The few of them were shocked. They did not expect this Holy Son to be so scheming. Just based on what he said just now, it was enough to compare to the current prime minister.
" Lord Moon Goddess, do you have a way to bring me into the Imperial Court tomorrow?" Yun Xiao muttered to himself.
"There shouldn't be a problem. With my status as the state preceptor and Lord Xing Hun, I'm very confident. Lord Holy Son is thinking…The Moon Goddess is also an intelligent person, so naturally Yun Xiao's plan is correct."
Yun Xiao nodded," Yes, it seems that only I can meet the King of Qin and persuade him personally."”
Yueshen did not speak, but when Great Si Ming heard that Yun Xiao wanted to meet the King of Qin, he hurriedly asked," Are you confident? The King of Qin is ruthless, so don't talk nonsense when you're older."”
Yun Xiao nodded at Great Si Ming and smiled, but his expression was never so gentle." Don't worry. Since I joined the Yin-Yang School as the Holy Son, I have the responsibility to seek all benefits for you. As for the confidence, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I always believe that as long as I want to do it, there's nothing I can't do, and the facts have proved that it's true."”
Yueshen, Great Si Ming, and even Young Si Ming all stared blankly at the high-spirited Yun Xiao. Although this man usually didn't have any outstanding qualities, after careful understanding, they realized that this man's nobility, pride, and arrogance were far from what anyone could compare to. For some reason, their faces were slightly red.
