Not long after, two burly men walked into the hall. One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a young man.
"I, Meng Tian, and Wang Jian greet the Ruler!”
The two of them knelt down on one knee in unison. The young one was Meng Tian, a new general that Ying Zheng had single-handedly promoted.
The middle-aged general was the general of the Qin State, Wang Jian. The Wang Clan was extremely powerful, and Ying Zheng had promoted Meng Tian's new talent precisely to balance and suppress Wang Jian and the Wang Clan.
"No need for formalities!" Xia Chen raised his hand indifferently and sized up the two Qin generals in front of him.
Wang Jian, a middle-aged man, had the demeanor of a great general. He was swift and decisive, but he was also very proud. However, he was still loyal to the Qin Nation and Ying Zheng.
As for Meng Tian, she was personally promoted by Ying Zheng, so she was naturally more trustworthy. She was currently the new general of the Qin State.
"Meng Tian, Wang Jian, do you know why I called you here?”
After a long silence, Xia Chen finally opened his mouth. His calm expression and indifferent tone revealed a sense of authority that made Meng Tian and Wang Jian shiver.
The might of a ruler was vast!
The two of them felt a chill in their hearts. They cupped their hands together and said,"This general doesn't know, please explain!”
Xia Chen nodded and pointed to the two contracts and four pills on the table.""These are two contracts. Sign them with your blood and then eat the pill.”
His tone was unquestionable and carried a heavenly might. It made Meng Tian and Wang Jian's hearts tremble. They felt a heavy pressure and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Yes, sir!"
Without any hesitation, the two of them accepted the order. They stepped forward and bit their fingers. Blood dripped from their fingers, and they pressed down. In an instant, the contract was completed. The two of them were stunned.
Then, Meng Tian and Wang Jian immediately picked up the pills and swallowed two each. Soon, they felt the intense changes in their bodies.
Boundless energy spread out, and their limbs and bones trembled. Their physical fitness continued to increase, and their strength was rapidly increasing, causing their expressions to change drastically. They were inexplicably shocked.
"Thank you Ruler!"
After consuming the energy of the pills, Meng Tian and Wang Jian, who were covered in a foul stench, knelt down in gratitude. They were excited and in disbelief.
The two of them had increased their strength by 10,000 pounds. They could not believe it and were almost dumbfounded. Fortunately, their hearts were strong enough.
However, the two of them thought about where the Ruler got these things from. It was simply shocking. If there were enough of them, who in the world would be able to resist an invincible army?
Just thinking about it made his heart turn cold, especially Wang Jian. He, who was originally proud and aloof, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His back turned cold, and his heart turned cold.
"I want to control the Qin Country, but someone has blocked my path. Meng Tian, Wang Jian, you two are my most trusted generals. Now, I need your strength.”Xia Chen said calmly.
Wang Jian and Meng Tian cupped their hands and knelt down!
"I am willing to sacrifice my life to clear the obstacles for Ruler!”
Xia Chen nodded and said softly," Very good. I believe in the two generals. Go and train a troop of elite soldiers in secret. I only care about the results, not the process."”
"Honorable order!"
The two of them had stern expressions, and a sense of reverence surged out of their hearts. They were filled with an unfathomable sense of mystery towards this young king.
"You may leave!" Xia Chen waved his hand to dismiss the two of them. He looked at Meng Tian and Wang Jian retreated out of the palace door.
The two of them walked out of the palace door for a long time before they felt a chill down their backs. Even though their strength had increased by 10,000 pounds, they still could not feel a sense of security.
The Ruler, Ying Zheng, was simply something that made the two of them feel fear and awe.
"Phew!" Wang Jian let out a breath and looked at Meng Tian. He nodded and left the Qin royal palace.
Meng Tian looked at the Qin royal palace behind her with respect. She turned around and left to train the elite soldiers.
In the Qin State, the power was not in the hands of the king, and Ying Zheng could not control the power himself. It was the Prime Minister, Lu Buwei, who held the power, and as Ying Zheng grew up, he gradually became a threat to him.
However, Xia Chen, a more powerful emperor, had descended and replaced Ying Zheng. Who could stop him? No one could stop him.
"Ruler, Zhao Gao requests an audience!"
At this moment, a feminine voice came from outside the hall. A young eunuch stood outside the hall. His face was feminine and his eyes were cold.
Hearing this voice, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. It was unclear what he was thinking.
"Come in."
Upon hearing Qin Wang's voice, Zhao Gao walked into the hall. He stole a glance at the young Qin Wang in front of him, then came to Xia Chen and knelt down gently.
Ruler, it's time for the court meeting." Zhao Gao came over to remind Ying Zheng that it was time for the court session.
During the court meeting, the State of Qin dealt with government affairs as usual. Xia Chen had absorbed Ying Zheng's memory, so he naturally knew the time set by the ministers.
"Yes!"
Xia Chen nodded and stood up. He wore the Emperor's Sword at his waist and the black imperial robe transformed from the Nine Dragons Emperor's Robe. He strode out.
Behind him, Zhao Gao's expression was strange. He glanced at Xia Chen in shock. This young king seemed to have noticed something different.
However, he did not dare to think too much about it. He obediently followed Xia Chen to the court hall, where the Qin royal palace was.
"Greetings, Ruler!"
As soon as Xia Chen arrived, he sat on the throne of the King of Qin and looked down at the courtiers of the State of Qin on both sides. They seemed to be kneeling respectfully, but in reality, there was no respect at all.
"No need for formalities!" Gently raising his hand, Xia Chen got the various officials to stand up and carefully sized up the Qin officials in front of him.
At the forefront was naturally the Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Lu Buwei. This old man had a thing with Ying Zheng's mother, Lady Zhao, and was in charge of the state of Qin.
Although it was a court meeting, Ying Zheng had no decision-making power at all. All the government affairs of the State of Qin were managed by Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
He didn't have any power or influence at all. Other than the 800 secret guards that Zhang Han had secretly trained, and Meng Tian and Wang Jian's army, there was nothing else.
However, Xia Chen noticed that there was a young man beside the prime minister, which caught his attention. He looked at him carefully and thought to himself.
"He's Li Si?"
Li Si, a native of the State of Chu, was the representative of Legalism. He was a Confucian scholar in his early years and studied under Xunzi, a Confucian grandmaster. He was from the same sect as Han Fei.
Both of them were representatives of Legalism. Xia Chen guessed that since Li Si was here, Han Fei should be on his way back to Han. What he needed to do now was to deal with Lu Buwei.
Of course, Xia Chen could kill Lu Buwei right now, but this was not a rule set by the system. It was to thwart the rebellion of Lu Buwei and Lao Ai.
These two wanted to mutiny and kill the King of Qin. Since he had become the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and the system had stipulated that he should thwart their rebellion.
In the royal court, Lu Buwei simply did not put Ying Zheng in his eyes, treating him as a mere decoration, directly exercising his royal power, ignoring Xia Chen.
"System, if I kill Lu Buwei now, will it count as completing the mission?”Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
Unfortunately, the system's answer disappointed him."Master, according to the system's rules, killing Lu Buwei and Lao Ai will complete the mission.
Xia Chen almost killed Lu Buwei when he heard that, but he quickly extinguished his killing intent.
He snorted coldly in his heart, I'll let you live for a few more days. When I lure out all your forces, I'll catch you all in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the gift bag, I would have killed you long ago.”
He was not in a hurry to make a move. In order to complete the mission better and better control the State of Qin, he had to draw out all the forces behind Lu Buwei and Lao Ai.
"Everyone, I'm a little tired. I'll return to the palace to rest first.”
Suddenly, Xia Chen stood up, yawned, and turned to leave the court hall, leaving Lu Buwei and the other officials with different thoughts.
Lu Buwei looked at the back of the King of Qin as he left. A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
