There was a kind of person who, even if he remained silent, no one would ignore his existence because he was a natural king, just like how his arms would naturally obey the commands of his brain. This was the existence of this person. The person in front of him was a person that had never appeared in a thousand years. Qin Shihuang was such a person, a person who could not be praised too much. This evaluation belonged to everyone. His enemies might curse him, but no one could deny his greatness.
Ying Xi raised his head and smiled at this glorious emperor. He rarely dared to look at him like this. His light made countless people not dare to look at him. Even the important officials of the empire and his eldest son Fu Su were the same. Every time they saw him, an invisible respect was written on their faces. Only his twelfth son, who always looked at him with clear eyes. Although there was no lack of respect, he was not afraid. He was calm and elegant. Even those world-renowned scholars whom he had summoned did not have such a calm temperament.
"Ying Xi, it seems like Mr. Gai is very satisfied with you." Ying Xi smiled." I'm the only one among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. Although the Phantom Valley lineage is able to fight against millions of people by itself, I've learned some sword techniques from Mister Gai, but I'm still far from mastering them." A smile appeared on the First Emperor's cold face.
You have some self-awareness. You've been smart since you were young, so I thought you would be proud," Ying Xi said with a smile." Your son understands Imperial Father's meaning, but pride should only exist in one's heart. Once it is revealed, it is no longer pride. Moreover, pride comes from ignorance most of the time. It is like a frog at the bottom of a well. There is pride in dominating the bottom of a well, but it is only because of one's horizons. It is ridiculous."
The First Emperor laughed." Interesting. A frog in a well can't speak to the sea because it's stuck in the void. This is a Taoist allusion. Don't you love Confucian classics the most? He actually started to read Taoist classics?”，Ying Xi smiled and said,"Father is busy every day, so you're actually testing me. Now that the world is one, whether it's Confucianism or Daoism, they're all schools of thought in the empire. No matter what kind of allusions they have, they will all serve the empire. Your son likes to read Confucian classics only because of the words 'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Father, and Master'. As for other things, your son doesn't think too much about them."
Ge Nia's heart skipped a beat. Although his words were not profound, there was a deep meaning behind them. It was truly powerful. Seeing the First Emperor move his gaze away from him, Ying Xi knew that it was time for him to leave. He bowed and slowly left.
Seeing Ying Xi's figure retreat, the First Emperor suddenly said,"Ge Nia, what do you think of my son?”，Ge Nia hurriedly bowed and said,"The 12th Young Master is extremely intelligent. This is the first time I've seen such a person. What's even more rare is that you treat others generously and never act haughtily." The First Emperor said,"You're so kind.""No pride? No, his pride is just as he said, hidden deep in his heart. Summer insects cannot be described as ice, and eagles will not be jealous of ants. This kid's heart is more proud than anyone else, but this kind of thing does not need others to know.
"Forget it, he can do whatever he wants. The Qing family has done a great job in capturing Sheng Qi, so they should be rewarded." Ge Nie bowed." Thank you, Your Majesty." The First Emperor nodded."Oh right, how's Ying Xi's martial arts progress?”，Ge Nia said,"I'm afraid he's no weaker than a top-tier master." A hint of surprise flashed through the First Emperor's eyes."Not bad, you may leave." Ge Nia bowed and retreated. His eyes turned to a corner of the hall. There was a person there. He had never hidden his existence. The domineering aura that seeped into his bones made the deep hall even more like a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Only after leaving the hall could he feel a hint of relief.
The spacious hall seemed to have regained its peace.
"Ge Nia's words are hard to believe." He seemed to be talking to himself, but someone else said,"Your Majesty also cares about such things? "Ge Nia was right about one thing. Gongzi Xi's power is indeed at the First Class Realm, and he has already discovered my existence. Although I didn't hide it, it would be impossible for him to discover me without being at the First Class Realm." The old man's voice was low and solemn."I just find it hard to believe. No matter what, it's impossible to reach a certain level in one go. Ying Xi is only ten years old and has never taken any pills to increase his inner energy, so how could he reach such a level? You have to know that countless talented people work hard their entire lives, but only a few can reach such a level. Ge Nia is already a genius in the world, yet he still praises Ying Xi like this. I really can't see through this kid."
"This old minister is very interested in this talented young master. His Majesty's princes are all very talented, but this one seems different. A young man stands at the center of the empire's power, but he doesn't show the slightest fear, whether it's in front of His Majesty or this lowly minister in the shadows. This means that this young master has no fear." The First Emperor nodded." Fearless doesn't come from ignorance. It seems like this son of mine is indeed extraordinary."
" His Majesty is an unprecedented person, and this young master is probably the same." The First Emperor looked surprised. Others didn't know who the person in the dark was, but he knew it well and understood his pride. If it wasn't for his father who saved him in secret, his succession wouldn't have been so smooth, and it would have been difficult for him to get to where he was today. If it wasn't for his outstanding achievements, a person like him wouldn't have earned his respect even if he was the King of Qin.
What are you going to do?" "This old minister has been in the palace for a long time and has been thinking about something. Since this young master has such talent, it would be good for the empire if he could give His Majesty an unparalleled sword."
Qin Shihuang's heart skipped a beat." Sir, you want to teach Ying Xi? This was interesting. Even he couldn't casually assign this person. It wasn't that he couldn't, but it was out of respect for the strong."In fact, even without this old subject, this young master could still become a top-notch expert. Ever since I became interested in this young master, this subject has secretly observed this young master. Not only is he talented, but he is also a person who truly knows what he wants. He makes full use of all his leisure time. A genius is not scary, but a genius who works to this extent is very scary. Your Majesty, you have to know that sometimes being too perfect is also very troublesome. Just like how he recommended himself to Lord Xinling back then, as long as it's Zhui Zi, even if she's placed in a sack, she'll still reveal her sharpness. He's different from this old minister. This old minister was born a minister, but he's the monarch.
The First Emperor sighed." If his descendants are useless, he will be very disappointed as a father. However, if his son is too outstanding, it is also a kind of worry. This kid has unknowingly become my worry. However, whether he is a ruler or a subject, I still have the final say."
" Haha, Your Majesty is right. It's rare for Your Majesty to joke around."" Although I'm the Emperor, I'm still a human. It's just that as a ruler, I need to maintain my dignity. You have to know that in such a position, no matter who is around me, whatever they say in my ear is rarely just a sentence. It's very likely to be the words of a faction. The secrets behind this are complicated, and I can only sigh."
The old man in the dark also sighed. This was the price of being an emperor. In the past, the monarch was the master of the country, but there were other countries that dispersed this hostility. However, the emperor was the master of the world and the enemy of the world. The era of the aristocrats was ended by him, and the last class that could disperse the hostility was destroyed. This was truly a loner. The dangers of this path were difficult to describe, but he did not know how far this person could protect this huge empire.
