Outside Xianyang City, the news of Ying Zheng's return to the court had long been sent back.
Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Li Si, and the other officials were waiting outside the city.
"His Majesty is back!"
In the distance, Ying Zheng's convoy and many imperial guards appeared before everyone's eyes.
Zhao Gao's expression was a little uncertain. He was Ying Zheng's favorite, and also the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture.
Ying Zheng's travels were usually arranged by him.
Logically speaking, no matter where Ying Zheng was going, he would inform Zhao Gao first, and then Zhao Gao would prepare the carriages and arrange the itinerary.
However, this time, he had no idea that Ying Zheng had gone out.
Only when he returned did he receive the news.
At this time, Ying Zheng was still traveling in secret, which made Zhao Gao a little worried.
" I wonder where His Majesty went this time. He even hid it from us..." Zhao Gao said softly.
"Lord Zhao, please be careful with your words.”
Li Si's expression was calm as if he did not care.
Just as the two of them were talking.
Ying Zheng's Dragon Carriage approached slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of the city gate under the protection of the imperial guards.
All the officials in the hinterland kowtowed.
"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"
"Rise!" Ying Zheng had regained his dignity as the Qin Emperor. Through the curtain of the carriage, a pair of dragon eyes swept across the hundred officials in front of him.
The officials stood up.
After Zhao Gao stood up, his eyes naturally turned to Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the dragon chariot. Then, his pupils suddenly shrank!
What did he see?
The First Emperor had actually returned to his youthful appearance!
That lively appearance was completely different from when he left the palace. He looked almost like he was at sunset!
All of a sudden, he thought of…why did Ying Zheng want to travel secretly this time?
He had probably found the secret to immortality!
After gaining immortality, the First Emperor would most likely be able to suppress Great Qin forever!
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but suck in a few breaths of cold air. His back was sweating slightly. If this was true...
Perhaps…
He lowered his head even more than usual.
Except for Zhao Gao, almost all the officials had noticed the change in Ying Zheng.
A young appearance could be used to deceive others, but that vitality that was as vibrant as the morning sun could not be deceived!
Li Si's eyes were filled with excitement as if he could see the Great Qin Empire's eternal prosperity!
The immortal First Emperor had enough qualifications and courage to let the Great Qin Empire dominate for thousands of years!
Qianqiu Won't Fall!
Sitting on the dragon chariot, Ying Zheng watched the changes in the expressions of the officials, but his face remained unchanged.
He did not need to explain, nor did he care to explain. He was the Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng!
Everything in the world should submit to him!
There was no need to explain his actions!
Just as Li Si and Zhao Gao stood up and were about to lead the officials to bow and retreat from Ying Zheng's dragon chariot, they noticed Qin Zhan sitting on the dragon chariot almost at the same time!
Zhao Gao's eyes changed instantly. In the past year, Qin Zhan, the Great Qin's Minister of State, who had been following Ying Zheng since the time of the King of Qin, had disappeared.
Moreover, Qin Zhan's whereabouts were extremely strange, and even Zhao Gao, who had control over Great Qin's most powerful intelligence network, was unable to track him down.
But now, looking at the First Emperor Ying Zheng who had regained his youth, Zhao Gao seemed to have understood something.
The fear he had for Qin Zhan deepened!
When Li Si saw Qin Zhan, his mind almost instantly sorted out everything in front of him.
As soon as the Chief Attendant, who had followed the First Emperor for the longest time, returned, Ying Zheng regained his youth. He immediately knew who was responsible for this.
After realizing this point, Li Si began to plan how he would deal with Qin Zhan in the future.
After Qin Zhan, he would definitely be an extremely powerful official!
Power and influence!
Just as the two of them were having their own thoughts, Ying Zheng suddenly stood up from the dragon carriage. His eyes revealed the domineering and disdainful look that belonged only to the First Emperor.
Sensing this different aura, Qin Zhan's expression changed slightly. Could Ying Zheng be…
Looking at the civil and military officials in front of him, Ying Zheng could not wait any longer. He did not want to wait until the imperial court, and he wanted to wait right at the city gate!
At this moment!
He wanted to give Qin Zhan the best!
Ying Zheng suddenly pulled Qin Zhan up!
When the officials saw Qin Zhan appear beside the First Emperor, they were all stunned, except for Zhao Gao and a few others who had sharp eyes.
The Middle Minister who had disappeared earlier had appeared at this moment, and he had appeared right beside the First Emperor!
What did this mean?
However, before they could think about it…
" From today onwards," Ying Zheng said slowly," I shall confer Qin Zhan the title of the first Lord of the Great Qin Empire!”
"With the name of the Great Qin Dynasty as the title, anyone who sees Mu Zhi is like seeing me!”
These words were like thunder!
It directly shocked all the officials present!
They did not know what Qin Zhan had done.
However, in this period, no matter what kind of contribution one made, one could not be conferred the title of king.
Ying Zheng abolished this system.
Moreover, he actually used the country's name as a title.
Wasn't this a little too absurd?
All the officials thought that Ying Zheng had gone mad.
Previously, the seven kingdoms were actually seven kings.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had won, so he ascended the throne.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had become the Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng.
Conferring the title of king was to give a large piece of land as a fief, and also allow Qin Zhan to establish a vassal state.
Just like the Seven Kingdoms.
Great Qin had just been unified, and it had not been easy for them to unify it.
In the end, he had to seal it off again?
This was too shocking for the officials.
Great Qin did not have any Barons!
But now, Ying Zheng wanted to set such a dangerous precedent.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Li Si immediately knelt down.
The civil and military officials were no exception.
Everyone hoped that Ying Zheng would retract his order.
The officials also voiced out to dissuade him.
"Your Majesty, Great Qin has just pacified the world, and the royal families of the six countries are secretly spying on us. Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, right now, Great Qin has many things to do, and countless people are struggling to feed themselves! At this moment, being conferred the title of king was no different from being stubborn! Your Majesty!"
On the dragon carriage, Qin Zhan, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, was also confused. Ying Zheng had never told him about this on the way here.
Becoming a King was basically going against the times and would shake Great Qin's foundation.
"Can't you hear my words?”Ying Zheng glared at him and asked angrily.
"This Great Qin is my Great Qin!"
"This country is mine!"
"All the systems are set by me!"
"Zhen wants Mu Zhi to be king, he is king!”
"Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
Ying Zheng's eyes swept across every official present.
This was what he had thought of on the way.
He had to admire Ying Zheng.
The spirit of an emperor through the ages was not something an ordinary emperor could compare to.
If it were an ordinary emperor, who would dare to issue such a pardon?!
Ying Zheng was more far-sighted than most people.
This reward was beneficial to Great Qin.
Under the pressure of Ying Zheng's terrifying aura, none of the officials dared to look him in the eye.
They all lowered their heads.
"Zhao Gao greets the King of Qin!" Zhao Gao was the first one to react. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. It was not without reason that he could become a popular person in front of Ying Zheng.
At the very least, he was much better than Li Si and the others in terms of observation and reaction.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of Li Si and the others. They had not expected Ying Zheng to have such a big reaction.
However, the matter of becoming an emperor was too impactful.
At this time, a king could also be called a monarch.
The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, including the Great Qin Empire, were actually all kings conferred by the Great Zhou Empire.
After Ying Zheng unified the six states, he called himself the First Emperor and established an empire.
As Zhao Gao, who was controlling the net, knelt down, Li Si gritted his teeth and knelt down as well.
Li Si greets the King of Qin!"
No matter what, Zhao Gao definitely knew more than Li Si. Zhao Gao would admit defeat, but if Li Si did not, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The First Emperor standing on the dragon carriage was really capable of killing people!
After Zhao Gao and Li Si knelt down and kowtowed, the civil and military officials also knelt down.
"Meng Tian greets the King of Qin!"
"Wang Li greets the King of Qin!"
"Zhang Han greets the King of Qin!"
As the important figures of the court knelt down and kowtowed, all the officials knelt down in front of the huge city gate!
"Greetings, King Qin!"
"Greetings, King Qin!"
"Greetings, King Qin!"
Standing on the dragon carriage, Qin Zhan's expression changed slightly. He sighed in his heart.
Ying Zheng's action was truly generous!
Conferring the title of King with the name of the Empire!
This title could be said to be unprecedented!
