Ying Zheng rode a dragon out of the Wei River. The ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty were shocked and respected him.
Finally, the water dragon rose to a certain height and slowly landed on the ground, putting Ying Zheng down. Then, it turned into a clear splash and returned to the Wei River.
Ying Zheng went into the water and came out again, but his robe was not wet at all, and his aura was even more noble and noble.
His eyes sparkled as he bowed towards Weishui River.
"Thank you, Wei River God, for protecting me and Great Qin!”
Ying Zheng bowed respectfully, and upon seeing this, Lu Buwei and the other ministers felt their hearts skip a beat as they followed suit.
"Thank you for your protection, God of Weishui River!"
"The entire Great Qin will definitely offer sacrifices to the Wei River!”
In the Wei River, Mo Xuan immediately manipulated the water flow to form a huge water lotus. It slowly bloomed, attracting the admiration of the crowd.
After thanking him, Ying Zheng turned around and faced the ministers of Great Qin with a dignified and noble expression.
At this moment, Lu Buwei suddenly realized something was wrong.
His eyes were fixed on a broad and majestic divine sword hanging on Ying Zheng's waist.
"Your Majesty, this is…"
Lu Buwei's eyes were filled with shock. He moved a little closer and stared at the divine sword hanging on Ying Zheng's waist.
When the Great Qin officials saw this, they were all shocked and looked carefully. An old official who was familiar with ancient books and documents walked forward shakily.
On the sword hanging on Ying Zheng's waist, there was an endless, noble and holy aura. One side of the sword was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers, and vegetation. On one side of the sword hilt was written the art of farming and livestock, and on the other side was written the strategy of unifying the four seas.
The old minister's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"This…this seems to be the ancient sacred sword, the Xuanyuan Sword!”
"Legend has it that the Xuanyuan Sword was forged by the ancient Sage Emperor Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, to conquer the world and suppress the world!”
"Did the God of Weishui get this ancient holy sword and give it to the king?”
Faced with the shocked and expectant looks of the crowd, Ying Zheng's chest was filled with pride. He puffed out his chest and answered loudly,"
"Not bad!"
"This is the ancient Xuanyuan Sword that the God of Weishui River bestowed to me!”
"I will hold this sword and suppress the fate of Great Qin, leading Great Qin to stand tall in the world!”
In front of the ministers of the Great Qin Empire, Ying Zheng made a bold declaration with a majestic aura.
The ministers were instantly excited.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is destined to lead Great Qin to glory!”
Great Qin's civil and military officials were incredibly delighted, and their faces were red and their eyes lit up. There were even some old officials whose eyes were slightly red, as if they were watery. They were too excited and cried tears of joy.
In this era, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had long become legends. And now, Ying Zheng was actually able to obtain the ancient Xuanyuan Sword bestowed by the River God of Weishui River. Didn't that mean that he would become a peerless wise emperor like Emperor Xuanyuan?
The eyes of all the ministers were filled with passion as they solemnly stood in an orderly manner, bowing respectfully to Ying Zheng.
Prime Minister Lu Buwei felt a little strange, but he had no choice but to bow along with everyone else.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, congratulations! Congratulations to Great Qin!"
"Your Majesty will definitely become a wise ruler and bring glory to Great Qin!”
Seeing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and reached out his hand to support him.
"Everyone is the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty, there's no need to be so polite!”
"The sacrifice at the Wei River is completed.”
Ying Zheng boarded the chariot, followed by the ministers.
Thus, the mighty convoy of soldiers once again set off towards Xianyang City.
On the way back, the way everyone looked at Ying Zheng was no longer as if he was a wooden puppet, but with a sense of awe and respect.
……
The miracle at the bank of Weishui River spread across Xianyang City and even Guanzhong.
Countless citizens of Xianyang City went out and squeezed to the sides of the street to welcome the return of the king's sacrifice. They all wanted to see just how graceful this new king who had just ascended the throne was.
"We welcome Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has the mandate of heaven. You will definitely lead us to achieve more military achievements and obtain more land!”
"It's Great Qin's blessing to have such a king!”
Ying Zheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and sat upright in it, looking at the people of Great Qin with a dignified gaze.
Everyone's cheers immediately soared into the sky.
Lu Buwei, who was escorting them from the side, was secretly dissatisfied.
"Ying Zheng has just succeeded to the throne, and at such a young age, he has already gained the recognition of the God of Wei River and established his prestige in the hearts of the people. I'm afraid that he will not be easy to control in the future!”
Lu Buwei's eyes were dark, and he felt uneasy.
He was able to become the Prime Minister of Great Qin by relying on Ying Zheng, the King of Great Qin, but because of Ying Zheng, he would lose the power of Prime Minister, and might even end up in a bad situation!
With Lu Buwei's intelligence, he could naturally see the hidden dangers in the future.
His heart sank as he thought to himself.
"No!"
"We can't go on like this!"
"We must find a chance to suppress Ying Zheng and his prestige!”
Lu Buwei thought of this and quickly came up with a plan.
He followed the palace carriage and escorted Ying Zheng into the palace of Qin State, Xianyang Palace.
When Ying Zheng came back from the sacrificial ceremony, he naturally had to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Zhao and report to her.
The courtiers followed him all the way to the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhao Ji sat in the main hall, waiting for the officials to arrive.
Ying Zheng pays his respects to Mother!"
"I have received the approval of the God of Weishui River in offering sacrifices to the Weishui River. The Ancient Xuanyuan Sword has been bestowed upon me, and all the people have submitted to me!”
Ying Zheng said softly, telling everything to Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji had already learned of this matter through her trusted aides.
At this moment, her expression did not change. She only nodded slightly in admiration.
"My son has the bloodline of the Great Qin royal family. It's only right that he has the protection of the gods.”
As the Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhao naturally did not want Ying Zheng to grow too fast and take over the government.
Therefore, she would not publicize this matter too much to increase Ying Zheng's reputation.
Seeing this, Lu Buwei was delighted.
He and Zhao Ji had a secret connection and tacit understanding!
Lu Buwei stepped forward and suggested loudly.
"Empress Dowager, the king has just ascended the throne to worship the Wei River and has received the protection of the gods. This must be the merit of our ancestors!”
"Your Majesty is still young and has not done anything to Great Qin.”
"I believe that Your Majesty should move to the Ying Ancestral Temple of Great Qin, fast, bathe, and devote himself to praying for three months to worship the ancestors of Great Qin!”
After hearing Lu Buwei's words, Lady Zhao smiled, and the other officials of Great Qin all had calm expressions.
Everyone understood that Lu Buwei was trying to freeze Ying Zheng for a period of time, so that the prestige he had just built up would dissipate with time!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but feel furious.
Naturally, he understood Lu Buwei's intentions. He knew that if he were to follow this arrangement, the prestige he had just built up among the officials would be gone, and he would become a puppet again!
Ying Zheng straightened his back and placed his right hand on the ancient Xuanyuan Sword, then turned around and faced Lu Buwei.
Boom!
On the ancient Xuanyuan Sword, a supreme and absolute kingly aura shrouded Ying Zheng, making him look exceptionally majestic and sacred.
"Prime Minister, I am already thirteen years old!”
"I have grown up!"
Ying Zheng said in a dignified and loud voice, one word after another.
In the entire hall of Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng's deep and majestic voice reverberated and trembled.
This voice continuously echoed in the hearts of all of Great Qin's subjects, causing them to tremble and feel incredibly shocked.
Empress Dowager Zhao Ji's body trembled and she bent backward in her seat, feeling a sense of fear.
The ministers of Great Qin were shocked and amazed, and their souls were shocked. Looking at Ying Zheng's eyes, he could not help but feel a sense of reverence.
As for Great Qin's Prime Minister Lu Buwei, he was shocked and his expression darkened.
This was the first time he had been humiliated in the imperial court, and his prestige had suffered a great blow. Instead, he had become a foil for Ying Zheng to establish his dignity!
