Ying Zheng thought of the matter of the River Temple, and immediately did not dare to neglect it.
He waved his hand and called out to the eunuch beside him.
"Zhao Gao, go and summon Zhangsun Wuji and Zisu. I have something important to discuss!”
A young, fair-skinned eunuch immediately bowed and left.
"Here!"
Soon, Zhangsun Wuji and the internal historian of grain who was in charge of the national treasury and the inner mansion arrived in front of Ying Zheng under Zhao Gao's lead.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"May I know what instructions Your Majesty has for me?”
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and helped them up.
"Rise, there's no need to be so polite."
"I would like to ask how much money and food does Great Qin have in its treasury, and how many people can it mobilize?”
"Wei River God, protect Great Qin and me. Only then could I expel Lu Buwei, kill the Lord of Chang 'an, and take power!”
"I want to make the spirit of Wei River the ancestor spirit of Great Qin, build a temple, and worship it!”
Ying Zheng's words shocked Internal Secretary Zhi Su greatly, and he was filled with excitement.
"I admire the power of the spirit of Weishui River. It was only right to build a temple for him!”
"Don't worry, Great Qin has a bumper harvest every year, and Shu is a land of abundance.”
"As for the manpower of the commoners, there is naturally no shortage. The wood and boulders used to build the temple were even more abundant in Qinling Mountains!”
After hearing this, Ying Zheng understood the true power of Great Qin, and he felt much more confident. He was instantly overjoyed.
His expression was excited.
"Very good!"
"All of you can go back. Tomorrow morning, I will give the order to start building the River God Temple!”
……
Early the next morning, it was the second morning court session since Ying Zheng took over the power.
In the Zhangtai Palace, the civil and military officials lined up and once again filled the court. The influence of eliminating Lu Buwei's henchmen was quickly replaced.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng sat on his throne, receiving the worship of his ministers with a dignified manner.
"Rise!"
The ministers immediately stood up and began to discuss government affairs.
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to step out and report to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty!"
"We've already cleaned up Lu Buwei's remaining party and taken over all the government affairs.”
"A smooth transition has been completed inside and outside the Imperial Court!”
"In Xianyang City, the people are at ease. The eastern and western markets are operating normally. The prices in the city are stable and peaceful!”
The ministers were all delighted.
Everyone had contributed to the swift completion of such a major task as expelling Lu Buwei and his henchmen.
Ying Zheng was filled with gratification, nodding continuously.
"All of you have done well and contributed!”
"The stability of prices and the peace of the people are the best news!”
Following that, Meng Tian and the others reported on the handling of the rebel army, as well as the arrangements for the various troops that had approached Lu Buwei in Xianyang City.
"Great King!"
"Chang 'an's rebel army, the original palace guards, and the guards of Xianyang City have all been scattered and reorganized. They have been stationed at the border!”
"This subject will transfer the Meng family's army stationed at the northern border to Xianyang to take over the city defense!”
"From now on, Your Majesty can rest assured!"
Ying Zheng was even happier, and he kept praising him.
Following that, all kinds of government affairs were brought to the court for discussion.
For every administrative matter, they would ask Ying Zheng for his opinion. Ying Zheng was extremely excited as he experienced the feeling of having great power for the first time.
After a long while, all the administrative matters were settled. Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and said in a dignified manner,"
"The reason why I can be where I am today is because of the protection of the spirit of Weishui River!”
"Pass on my decree!"
"I worship the spirit of the Wei River as the ancestor spirit of Great Qin, and I will be in charge of all the rivers, lakes, mountains, rivers, continents, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the divine light of the sun and moon!”
"The Wei River is the mother river of the Great Qin Country, and the ancestral spirits of the Wei River are the source of all of Great Qin!”
Ying Zheng's majestic voice resounded throughout the entire Zhangtai Palace, echoing continuously and deafeningly.
The ministers were shocked and in awe.
No one had any doubts about this.
The entire Guanzhong Plain was fed by the Wei River. It was not wrong to call the Wei River the mother river of the Qin Country. The power and miracle of the spirit of Weishui River made everyone admire it even more.
Ever since the ancient times, there had been no real gods appearing in front of people. Now that the spirit of the Wei River had appeared and protected Great Qin, it naturally attracted everyone's worship!
"We are willing to worship the spirit of the Wei River as the ancestor spirit of the Great Qin Dynasty, the source of all mountains and rivers!”
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we build a temple for the spirit of the Wei River and offer sacrifices to it!”
Without needing Ying Zheng to say anything, some officials had already made such a suggestion.
Zhangsun Wuji, Internal Secretary Zhi Su, and the others quickly explained the situation of the national treasury and supported it.
Immediately, the court was filled with cheers.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng became even happier.
"This is exactly what I want!"
"Pass on my decree, gather the money and grain from the national treasury and recruit the people. Bao Zheng will be in charge of building the Ancestral Spirit Temple at the bank of the Wei River!”
"When the temple is built, I will lead the officials to worship the spirit of the Wei River!”
Bao Zheng, whose face was as black as charcoal, immediately stepped forward and respectfully accepted the order.
"I, Bao Zheng, will obey Your Majesty's orders!"
……
Ying Zheng's order to worship the spirit of the Wei River as the ancestor spirit of the Great Qin Dynasty and to build a temple for it was soon announced to the world.
Countless Great Qin citizens, especially those at the Wei River, were shocked and delighted as they knelt on the ground.
"Spirit of the Wei River!"
"Great Qin Ancestor Soul!"
"Your Majesty, you are wise. It's because of the protection of the spirit of Weishui River that we can have good weather and harvest year after year!”
"When the temple is built, we will definitely go and worship it!”
This kind of craze quickly spread throughout the entire pass.
The spirit of the Wei River, the ancestor spirit of the Great Qin, was deeply engraved in the hearts of all the people in Guanzhong.
At this moment, in the Wei River, above the Green Lotus.
Mo Xuan turned into a water dragon and focused on his cultivation.
Suddenly, a series of system notifications sounded in his mind.
"Ding! The host has received the worship of Great Qin's citizens. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 368 Dragon Energy!”
"Ding! The number of people who believe in the spirit of Weishui River has reached the requirement. The special system task has been activated: Ancestor Soul Totem!"
