Conferring the Imperial Advisor!
Early in the morning, when the sun shone on Xianyang Palace, Jiang Bai, who had slept all night and had fully recovered, opened the door of the tavern to take a breather. However, he saw a few burly soldiers in black armor waiting at the door.
Jiang Bai's sleepiness suddenly disappeared completely. He stared at them warily.
After waking up, the black-armored warriors cupped their hands at Jiang Bai and said,""Greetings, Imperial Preceptor! This subordinate has been ordered by His Majesty to wait for Imperial Preceptor to enter Qilin Palace to receive his title!”
After they finished speaking, Jiang Bai's slightly puzzled eyes instantly became clear.
He knew that last night, when Ying Zheng said that he wanted him to become the Nation Master, it was not a whim.
However, what he said yesterday, was he going to announce it to the world today?
After calculating in his heart, Jiang Bai said indifferently to the few of them,"Can you wait for a moment? Since I'm here to meet His Majesty, I'll naturally organize myself properly.”
"Of course, Imperial Preceptor, please go ahead! However, it was best not to miss the time!”The leader said.
Jiang Bai smiled and returned to the tavern, closing the door.
Then, he looked at Gao Yao who was still lying on the ground, sleeping like a dead pig. He walked over to wake him up.
"What's wrong?" Gao Yao rubbed his groggy eyes, propped himself up with his palms, and sat on the floor.
" I have to go into the palace to meet Ying Zheng, but I have a feeling that this trip will not go smoothly. With the implementation of the Decree of Grace, I will confer the title of Imperial Advisor, and there will definitely be a fight in the Imperial Court. Now, all the officials in the court are holding back their anger, so you'd better not leave the tavern before I come back.”Jiang Bai's expression darkened slightly. His analysis was reasonable.
When Gao Yao heard this, his little heart was in his throat. He leaned forward and asked softly,""Brother, you mean…Is someone targeting us?"
" I don't know if there is one at the moment, but with the protection of the tavern by Ying Zheng, if those officials are not idiots, they should be able to guess what is going on. Anyway, don't go out before I come back."”
Jiang Bai didn't put too much pressure on Gao Yao. After a simple reminder, he went into the backyard to wash up.
When it was close to Si, Jiang Bai arrived at Xianyang Palace with his soldiers.
.......
Within the Qilin Palace of Xianyang Palace!
"What is it? Conferring the title of Imperial Advisor? And a tavern owner? How can this be!"
"Your Majesty! No, no, absolutely not!!”
"Even though the position of Imperial Advisor does not have any military or political power, it is related to the future of Great Qin. As the teacher of a country, he has a respected status and is supported by the people.”
In the hall, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, sat on the main seat. Just by saying that he wanted to confer the title of Imperial Advisor, Li Si and many other ministers tried to dissuade him.
Among the nine ministers, the Grand Servant, the Chief of the Court, the Chief of Staff, Feng Chang, Zong Zheng, and other ministers were kneeling in the center of the hall, begging Ying Zheng to take back his order.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
After the group of people knelt down, a loud voice echoed in the hall.
Looking at the group of princes and ministers who were always standing against him, Ying Zheng could not help but snort coldly in his heart, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
How could he not know what these people were up to?
It wasn't that they didn't agree to confer the position of Imperial Advisor, but they just didn't want an outsider to sit on it!
Even if he wanted to confer a title, it should be one of their factions.
After all, the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Advisor was different from the three dukes and nine ministers. It was an independent title that was different from the civil and military officials.
Great Qin had more than one such title, but the Imperial Advisor was the teacher of a country and the key to Great Qin's future.
Two days ago, Ying Zheng had just issued the Decree of Grace, and today, he was going to confer the title of Imperial Advisor. The group of princes and ministers felt that Ying Zheng was going to pick out a person to carry out the Decree of Grace by force!
Thus, he would have to bear the risk for Fu Su to come up with such a vicious plan.
Everyone had thought it through, so they couldn't do as Ying Zheng wished.
Otherwise, their hereditary titles would probably disappear in a short period of time!
"Xuan Jiang Bai enters the hall!" Ying Zheng paid no attention to these people and directly ordered Jiang Bai to enter the palace.
When the officials heard this, they became anxious!
This Ying Zheng did not even put these princes and ministers in his eyes, and he actually wanted to summon Jiang Bai into the palace!
"Alright! I want to see how this Jiang Bai is able to sit on the position of Imperial Advisor!”
"Today, no matter what, this Jiang Bai must be under my command! If he doesn't know how to appreciate favors, take advantage of his unstable foundation."
Prime Minister Li Si, who understood the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng the best, glanced at Ying Zheng's face.
He rolled his eyes and understood something in his heart.
He stood up and said to the ministers,""There's no need for you to be like this. As the emperor, His Majesty can naturally distinguish right from wrong.”
"Ever since Great Qin was founded, it has fought for six generations. Your Majesty naturally wouldn't place the fate of Great Qin on an ordinary person. There was Old General Wang Jian, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Grand Commandant, and many other officials who had protected Great Qin. There was a reason why the Emperor had chosen Jiang Bai as the Imperial Advisor instead of them.”
Everyone present was extraordinary, so they naturally understood what Li Si meant.
If Jiang Bai was not as talented as Wang Jian and the other older generations who had made great contributions to the Great Qin Empire, Ying Zheng could not possibly suppress the remonstrance of all the civil and military officials, right?
Wouldn't that chill the hearts of the other virtuous ministers?
With Wang Jian and the others 'elegance, who else in Great Qin's 10,000-mile territory could surpass them other than those giants from the Hundred Schools of Thought Era?
"Left Prime Minister is right!" Soon, someone echoed Li Si's words.
"Prime Minister is right!"
Wang Jian, the military official who was Li Siyao's opponent, was shocked when he heard that Li Siyao had used him as a shield.
He sneered in his heart, You want to drag me into this so that His Majesty's mind will waver?”
"Unfortunately…The high-spirited Emperor who had fought against the Six Nations back then had returned! And why should I stop the wise man who really proposed the Decree of Grace and can strengthen the foundation of our Great Qin for thousands of generations?”
Everyone had their own thoughts. Outside the Qilin Palace, the sound of announcements rose steadily. A slender and muscular figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Jiang Bai, enter the hall!"
