"Because of the kindness you keep in your heart, if you treat the people under your rule with kindness, the people will also be grateful to you and work for you, even giving up their lives for you.”
"How did Xia die? Even a tyrant like Jie enslaved the people and was eventually overthrown by the people.”
"Remember, as a ruler, you can only be ruthless to your enemies. However, you must always maintain a bit of mercy in your heart towards your loyal subjects.”
Ying Qi instructed Ying Zheng.
"Zheng 'er will remember the teachings of our ancestors and will never forget them.”
Ying Zheng answered with a serious face.
"Alright, just remember what I told you today. In the past few months, I have taught you all the basics that I can teach you. Later on, I will teach you more advanced chapters. From now on, you will train with the army during the day and come to the forbidden area to find me at night.”Ying Qi said to Ying Zheng.
"Zheng 'er, accept the order." Ying Zheng nodded respectfully.
"You may leave."
Ying Qi waved his hand.
"Zheng 'er will take his leave."
Ying Zheng stood up, bowed, and left slowly.
"The Way of Fate is extremely mysterious. I thought I could comprehend the Way of Fate in a few days, but now it seems that the mysteries of the Emperor's Scripture can't be comprehended in a day.”
"If you want the ling grains to be bound to Great Qin's Fate, you have to cultivate the Emperor's Scripture to the second level and control the Fate.”
"It seems that after a period of time, I will have to go into closed door cultivation again. The ling grains are of great importance and cannot be lost.”
Thinking about how he had to go into seclusion to comprehend the cultivation technique, Ying Qi felt a little helpless.
However, ling grains were extremely important and were related to the future rations of Great Qin's army.
In this era.
Even though the spiritual qi in the world was dense, the amount of food produced was not that great due to the constant war. Once Great Qin had ling grains, it would be incredibly meaningful and would not have to worry about food.
If he planted it now, even if he took extra precautions, it would not be foolproof.
The other countries would also try to seize the ling grains, and the result would be the ling grains being leaked, increasing the strength of other countries. Therefore, they had to set a shackle on the ling grains, and with this shackle, they could plant ling grains.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye.
Another six months passed.
In these six months, Great Qin had completely annexed the new territory of Eastern Zhou, and under Wang Jian's command, all of the surrendered soldiers had been incorporated into Great Qin's army, becoming Great Qin's elite soldiers.
They would treat the Great Qin soldiers with titles and annual salaries, and the Zhou Country's surrendered soldiers would completely submit.
Moreover…
During this time.
Great Qin did not stop attacking and instead marched towards Han and Wei. They did not engage in large-scale battles, but they obtained many Cities from the two countries and expanded Great Qin's territory.
Regarding Great Qin's expansion…
Although Han and Wei were angry, they did not dare to fight head-on and could only plan in secret.
Xianyang, the King of Qin's bedroom.
On the bed.
Ying Zichu's face was deathly pale, without a single trace of blood. His entire body was extremely weak, and he could die at any moment.
On his deathbed.
He summoned Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei, Meng Ao, and his queen, Lady Zhao.
"Finally…It's still the day."
"Zheng 'er, Prime Minister, General…I…"
Ying Zichu was lying on the bed, weakly looking at the people in front of him.
"Father, don't speak. Zheng 'er will go and beg the ancestor to save you. The ancestor's methods are like immortals and gods.”Ying Zheng said with tears in his eyes as he kneeled in front of the bed.
"Cough cough…There's no need."
"Birth, old age, illness, and death are all fate. That day…Back in the State of Zhao, my meridians were broken by them and I was seriously injured. Even if my ancestor was as powerful as an immortal, he couldn't do anything about it. Moreover, my ancestor was already used to seeing people grow old, die, and die. He wouldn't interfere.”
Ying Zichu struggled and said.
"Father…"
Ying Zheng sobbed.
"Prime Minister, General."
Ying Zichu struggled to raise his head and looked at the two of them.
"Your subject is here."
"Please instruct me, Your Majesty."
Meng Ao and Lu Buwei immediately replied.
"I…I'm leaving."
"After I leave, Zheng 'er will inherit the throne of the King of Qin. As Zheng' er is still young, he will be crowned. According to the laws of our Great Qin, he will…With the Empress Dowager holding the seal of the King of Qin, the Prime Minister and the General to supervise the country and assist the government, waiting for... When I get Zheng 'er's crown ceremony, I will be in charge of the Great Qin Dynasty.”
"I'll leave Zheng 'er in your hands in the future.”
Ying Zichu looked at the two of them with the emperor's decree and a pleading from his father.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We pledge our loyalty to the Crown Prince and Great Qin.”
Meng Ao and Lu Buwei said in unison.
"Prime Minister."
Ying Zichu looked at Lu Buwei.
"I'm here... I have always been here."
Looking at Ying Zichu's weakened state, Lu Buwei's eyes were filled with tears, but they didn't fall.
"It has been hard on you all these years, Prime Minister. When I was in Handan, I was bullied by Zhao. If it wasn't for you, I would have died many times.”
"The Prime Minister is a great benefactor to me, Zheng 'er, and his son.”
"But... I will never be able to repay this favor in this lifetime.”
"If there is a next life, I will definitely repay you.”
