As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Advisor, Xu Fu, slowly stood up from his seat.
Then, he came to the center of the hall, bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng, and said,"
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate!
First-class marquis, guardian marquis, this was an extremely glorious title in the Great Qin Empire.
How could he confer the title so rashly?
Moreover, with Li Xiao's talent, how could he be worthy of the title of Defender Marquis?”
"And yesterday, Li Xiao gave you the map of the world.
I feel that I'm also fooling Your Majesty.
Even the Three Immortal Islands of Penglai weren't marked. How could this map be called a world map?
This is a great crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"This lowly official feels that not only should we not confer him the title of Guardian Marquis, we should punish him for his crimes!
How can such a person who deceives the monarch be forgiven easily?”
Xu Fu was speaking with assurance, not noticing that Ying Zheng was looking at him with a dark and gloomy look.
The other officials, such as Li Si, looked at Xu Fu in surprise.
They didn't seem to remember any enmity between Xu Fu and Li Xiao!
Ever since the plague, Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng, had been dissatisfied with these ministers. Therefore, when Li Xiao was conferred the title, people like Left Prime Minister Li Si, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, and Supreme Commander Wei Liao kept their mouths shut.
He just didn't want to offend Ying Zheng.
But now, the Imperial Advisor, Xu Fu, had actually come out at this moment to slap Ying Zheng's face. They remembered that Xu Fu was quite a clever person, so how could he do such a stupid thing?
In fact, they did not know that when Ying Zheng was studying a world map in the palace yesterday.
Xu Fu, the state preceptor, happened to know about it.
Immediately, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He had been trying to trick Qin Shihuang into concocting the Elixir of Immortality for him, but he failed to concoct the elixir. Worried that he would be killed by Ying Zheng, he thought of a way to go out of Penglai Three Immortal Island to ask for the elixir.
But now, Ying Zheng had actually obtained a complete world map from Li Xiao.
The bigger part of the East China Sea was clear.
How could he fool Ying Zheng?
It was also because of this that Xu Fu hated Li Xiao in his heart. Scolding people for money was like killing their parents.
This Li Xiao wanted to cut off his path!
Li Xiao looked at Xu Fu and could not help but sneer in his heart. However, he did not immediately refute Xu Fu's words. A person had to know his limits and his position.
He wasn't the Defender Marquis yet, so it wasn't his turn to speak.
As for this State Preceptor Xu Fu, Li Xiao was very disdainful in his heart. This guy was a typical descendant of the Ghost Valley. He was just a big hoodwinker.
In fact, the historical records in the future even said that this guy was the founder of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to find Penglai Immortal Island, he ran overseas and became king.
Obviously, he also knew that there was no elixir of immortality.
He was also afraid that Ying Zheng would kill his head, so he fabricated the Three Immortal Islands of Penglai and took the opportunity to escape overseas.
Unfortunately, he did not know that there was really an elixir of immortality in this mythological world. It was just that Xu Fu did not have the ability to refine it.
Li Xiao thought of Cui Wenzi and Yi Xiaochuan, who was escorting the Elixir of Immortality.
Who wouldn't want the Elixir of Immortality?
Bang!
Just as Xu Fu was still boasting, Ying Zheng slammed the table and said angrily,"
"Enough, Xu Fu, do you still have this emperor in your eyes?
Are you teaching me how to do things?
I am the Emperor of Great Qin.
I am the master of the nine states.
This is my first offense. If you dare to speak nonsense again, you will be beaten out of Qilin Hall!”
"Your Majesty!"
Xu Fu's face turned pale, and he was so frightened by Ying Zheng's angry look that he was rendered speechless.
He found it even more unbelievable that Ying Zheng, who was usually so polite to him, would fly into a rage at him, the Imperial Advisor, for the sake of Li Xiao.
"This humble subject is guilty, this humble subject is guilty!"
Xu Fu hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Ying Zheng.
Obviously, he could also tell that Ying Zheng was truly enraged to the extreme. As a Great Hoodwinker, he was best at reading people's expressions.
It was just that the world map that Li Xiao had created previously had really lost his mind.
"I was muddle-headed for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, flung his sleeves and said,"
"I now confer Li Xiao the title of Defender Marquis!
"From now on, Great Qin will have one more Marquis, and Great Qin will have another great talent.
Does anyone else have any objections?"
"We don't dare!" All the ministers knelt down in the tunnel.
"Alright, Li Xiao, step forward and accept the title!"
"Li Xiao, I now confer upon you the title of First Class Marquis of Great Qin, the Defender Marquis.
2,000 stones!"
Li Xiao bowed and said,"
"This lowly subject Guardian Marquis greets Your Majesty!”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest and becoming the Defender Marquis of the Great Qin Empire.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Supporting role luck 500.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission and entering Xianyang City to gain power.”
" Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's favorable impression 100.”
After the court session ended, Li Xiao followed Ying Zheng back to the study room in the side hall. He was now the Defender Marquis of the Great Qin Imperial Court.
He could be considered an official of the highest position, and his status was not inferior to the Prime Minister and the Three Dukes.
When Li Xiao was the only one left, Ying Zheng sat down on the dragon throne and said tiredly,"
"Xu Fu spent all these years concocting pills and searching for the Penglai Three Immortal Islands.
It had already cost the national treasury a huge sum of money.
But I can't see any hope.
Now, he was becoming more and more arrogant!”
Looking at Ying Zheng, Li Xiao said lightly,"
"Is there any Penglai Three Immortal Island?
Didn't His Majesty know better than anyone else? This lowly official's map was also marked very clearly.
It's just that His Majesty doesn't want to believe it!"
Ying Zheng's face twisted, he shook his head and said with a smile,"
"Defender Marquis, don't talk about Xu Fu!"
"I want to hear how the Defender Marquis will help me next and protect the country!”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's expression turned serious."
"The aristocrats have formed cliques for personal gain, and they have even established their own strongholds in the Imperial Court.
It allowed the scholars to continuously weaken the imperial power.
However, the power of a scholar was also fundamental, so His Majesty could only fight and suppress, but not kill!”
"Then how should we fight? How?"
Li Xiao said,"
"I am willing to help Your Majesty establish an intelligence organization called the Network to monitor the world for Your Majesty.
Supervising the civil and military officials and gentry clans, from then on, the world was as big as the king's land, and the people in the world were as big as the king's subjects!
Overseeing the world and intimidating the scholars!"
"Overseeing the world and intimidating the scholars!"
Ying Zheng said in a low voice, and his face immediately lit up,"
"Supervising the world and intimidating the scholars!
Then I'll leave the construction of the net to you, Defender Marquis. I want to see the net set up as soon as possible.”
"Yes!"
......
After returning to the Lu family mansion.
Li Xiao called Tian Sha over and then directly instructed him,"
"Send someone back to Pei County and summon the Earth Fiend into Xianyang City as soon as possible!
I have great use for it!"
"This subordinate will obey!"
