Inside the royal ancestral hall of the Qin Kingdom, Prince Qinzhuang was standing in the front of the royal ancestral hall with Ying Zheng, wearing the Black Dragon King's robe.
Standing behind Prince Zhuang of Qin was Ying Song and the six clan elders. Behind Ying Song were all the civil and military officials of Qin!
Meng Ao, Wang Jian, Feng Quji, Lu Buwei, Chen Chi, Mao Jiao, Duwei Mo, Chen Zhuang, Gan Mao, Han Teng, and a total of twenty-four civil and military officials.
Wei Liao wasn't there. He was still in Ying Song's Gaoling Manor.
Furthermore, Qin Zhuangwang didn't inform Wei Liao, who had a great reputation but little power.
Ying Song looked at Prince Qinzhuang, whose complexion and skin looked extremely healthy, but there was an unconcealable sense of weakness. He immediately understood that Prince Qinzhuang had taken a large amount of tonics.
In order to maintain a normal complexion and maintain the aura of a king, he had to take twice as many tonics every day.
The more tonics he ate, the shorter his lifespan became.
"Cough cough cough ~" Ying Song's face turned pale as he deliberately coughed a few times.
Ying Song gave a glance to a member of the royal family, Ying He, who was standing in the royal ancestral hall, telling him that it was almost time.
(The Qin royal family's ancestral hall was guarded by the royal family's children with upper-middle-class status.)
Ying He was the son of one of the six clan elders, and he was a steady person!
Ying Rong cupped his hands and said to Prince Zhuang,""Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived."
"Play the music!" Qin Zhuangwang waved his hand in a domineering manner.
The musicians who had already prepared started playing their instruments, and the music began to ring out in the ancestral hall!
Qin Le carried a domineering and murderous aura, ready to kill the enemy at any time!
"It has been hundreds of years since our ancestor, Qin Feizi, founded the Great Qin Empire.”
Prince Zhuang of Qin spread his arms and placed his palms in front of his chest. He said,""I, after Prince Qinzhuang took office, he enforced the law and discipline for Great Qin.”
"Now, Great Qin's strength is rising day by day, and everyone in the country is proud of the old Qin people.”
"But now, I am no longer capable of leading the Great Qin Empire. Since the throne of the King of Qin has been passed to my eldest son, Ying Zheng, please bear witness.”
It was normal for Prince Zhuang of Qin to boast. Every king of Qin would talk about his achievements as long as he died a normal death.
Prince Zhuang of Qin glanced at Ying Zheng and said,""Zheng 'er, go and pay respects to the ancestors!"
"Yes, Father!" Ying Zheng made a standard salute.
Ying Zheng took out a lit piece of wood from Ying He's hand, then came to the bronze censer in front of the ranking table and lit the wood and wormwood.
A thin mist rose from the furnace and curled up.
He used the rising smoke to tell the ancestors of Great Qin.
After Ying Zheng finished lighting the incense, he threw the wood into the bronze incense burner.
As the firewood and wormwood burned out, the smoke stopped rising.
Prince Zhuang of Qin took down his sword from his waist, patted Ying Zheng's shoulder and said,""In the future, Zheng 'er, you will be the king of the Qin country!”
"Father, your son will not disappoint you.”Ying Zheng took the sword handed over by Prince Qinzhuang with both hands and said with a firm expression.
"Greetings, King Qin!" Ying Song cupped his hands and said.”
The six clan elders followed Ying Song and cupped their hands."Greetings, King Qin!"
Meng Ao, Wang Jian, Feng Quji, Lu Buwei, and the other twenty-four courtiers also looked at Ying Zheng, cupped their hands and said,""Greetings, King Qin!"
After Ying Zheng succeeded the throne, Ying Song, the six clan elders, and the twenty-four courtiers also returned to their residences.
After all, this was just an inheritance ceremony to inform the ancestors of the royal family. If they really wanted to announce it to the world, they would have to wait until Ying Zheng came of age to worship the heavens.
After coming out of the royal ancestral hall, Prince Qinzhuang returned to his bedroom and immediately called the imperial physician, Li Yu, over.
Li Yu had just stepped into Prince Qinzhuang's bedroom when he saw Prince Qinzhuang's face suddenly turn pale. Black blood spurted out of his mouth and scattered on the ground.
When Li Yu saw this scene, his expression also changed drastically.
Prince Zhuang's physical condition was worse than Li Yu had expected.
"Your Majesty, your…"
Before Li Yu could finish his words, he was stopped by a look from Qin Zhuangwang.
"Li Yu, how much longer do you think this king will exist?”Qin Zhuangwang looked at Li Yu calmly and said.
"I dare not say!" Li Yu knelt down under Prince Qinzhuang's calm gaze.
Qin Zhuangwang's tone was filled with irrefutable emotions as he said,""This king asked you to speak!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Yu's body trembled as he said,"If Your Majesty doesn't continue to take the tonic, there are still more than a month's time."”
"Your Majesty, if you continue to take the tonic, I'm afraid you won't last more than ten days.”
"Go down, this king can't leave you, Li Yu.”Hearing Li Yu's words, Prince Zhuang waved his hand to dismiss Li Yu.
After Li Yu left, Prince Zhuang of Qin called for his trusted guard and said,""After this king passes away, send Li Yu down as well.”
"Yes, sir!" The general replied.
After Prince Zhuang waved his hand to dismiss the general, the chamber quieted down.
The Taihang Mountains in Xiao Mountain had a gentle western slope and a steep eastern slope. It was the first mountain range of the Taihang Mountains. It was tall and straight, majestic and endless.
The Taihang Mountains were distributed in a north-south direction, and the southwest direction was the heart of the current Qin State-the capital, Xianyang.
At this moment, on the main peak of the Taihang Mountains, a simple yet magnificent Taoist temple stood tall on the peak.
The Taoist temple was so huge that it could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Clouds surrounded the Taoist temple, and the air was fresh. Coupled with the quiet and elegant atmosphere here, it gave people the feeling of a fairyland.
This was the Daoist Heavenly Sect!
The young men and women were all focused on practicing the introductory Taoist sword technique, not relaxing at all.
Chi Songzi saw the fluctuation of luck in the sky above Xianyang City and shook his head.""Qin Zhuangwang has finally abdicated."
There was a connection between the Daoist Heavenly Sect and Qin Zhuangwang. Otherwise, Chi Songzi would not have gone down the mountain to treat Qin Zhuangwang's body until it was beyond treatment.
However, the resources of the Daoist Heaven Sect could still be used for several years. It was better to go down the mountain and make contact with the current Qin Emperor during this period of time.
The Daoist Heaven Sect did not care about worldly affairs. Their goal was to cultivate the supreme Great Dao. They usually lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and kept a low profile. They would only come to the world when they were looking for disciples or traveling to cultivate their hearts.
However, in reality, the Daoist Heaven Sect also needed resources to nurture disciples.
Resources can't just fall out of thin air!
The Daoist Heaven Sect was also close to the capital of Qin State, so it was only divided into the Heaven Sect and the Human Sect. There was also a portion that defected and established the Yin Yang School.
The Daoist Heaven Sect had always been cooperating with the State of Qin.
