“……”
Zhao Gao didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only leave quietly with his head lowered.
Ying Zixuan took a few more glances at the sword, then cupped his hands and said,"Your son thanks Imperial Father for the reward!"
The famous Chunjun Sword.
Legend has it that it was forged by Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It belonged to Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and was known as the most noble and unparalleled sword in the world.
The Emperor Qin had given this sword to Ying Zixuan, and the meaning behind it was truly intriguing!
For a moment.
Fu Su and Huhai's gazes became complicated.
To put it in layman's terms, they were envious, jealous, and hateful!
"Zi Xuan, you don't have to be too modest. In fact, I've paid a lot of attention to you." Five years ago, the locust plague in Yingchuan blotted out the sky. It was the day you secretly left the palace to remove the disaster and return the people a bumper harvest.”
"Three years ago, there was a plague in Guanzhong. I also know that you went to the affected area. As the Great Qin Imperial Family, you didn't avoid the sick and went deep into the infected area. Only then did you expel the natural disaster and save thousands of people from death.”
" A year ago, you secretly went to pacify the Mohist rebellion and the rebellion of Yan and Zhao…"
"Zi Xuan's contribution, I will reward him today!”
"Here, bestow the Seventh Young Master with the title of Marquis and divide the counties of Chang 'an as his fief!”
……
He was granted the title of Marquis and appointed Prime Minister!
It was the greatest honor of the empire.
Ever since the world had been pacified, Ji Changqing was absolutely the only young master to be conferred the title of marquis!
Even the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, did not have such an honor.
"Your son thanks Imperial Father for the reward!"
Ying Zixuan cupped his hands and bowed, then said,"Imperial Father, I remember the title of Xiao Hou!”
Owl!
What you want is very big!
Hearing this, Shi Huang's eyes lit up. He nodded and said,""This title is not bad. It's domineering enough.”
At this point!
He was the Seventh Young Master of the Empire who was originally unknown.
He had become the Xiao Marquis of Chang 'an!
Even though Fu Su was the eldest son of Ying Zixuan and had a good reputation, from now on, he would have to lower his head in front of Ying Zixuan!
"How could this be…"
Fu Su muttered in a daze.
He was scheming to gain prestige and fame.
However, when he looked back, he realized that the person who had truly achieved the word 'virtuous' was Ying Zixuan!
Sweep away the locust plague, drive away the plague, and pacify the rebels!
One after another!
Any one of them would be a great contribution!
However, Ying Zixuan had never said anything about it!
There was actually such a person in the world who didn't ask for fame…
Even Fu Su couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Without comparison, there would be no harm!
Yue Kui, on the other hand, curled her beautiful lips slightly. She had indeed chosen the right person.
If the Yin-Yang School wanted to prosper forever…
How to choose a side was a big question.
Fu Su had the Confucianists behind him, so he was never on the same path as the Yin-Yang School.
As for Huhai…Yue Kui really didn't like him.
Now, Ying Zixuan's appearance had not only given Yue Kui a choice.
It also gave the Yin-Yang School a choice!
Even Prime Minister Li Si began to ponder.
This Seventh Young Master was really not simple!
He actually knew how to hide his strength!
Just based on this shrewdness, it was definitely not something that Fu Su and the likes could compare to!
The Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, Zhao Gao, naturally didn't look too good.
He still hadn't figured out when he had offended Ying Zixuan.
At the same time.
Zhao Gao couldn't understand either.
Since he had made a contribution, why should he hide it?
In fact.
Ying Zixuan wasn't hiding his strength, but he never wanted to be called a virtuous person.
What he wanted was a breakthrough in his mastery of gu techniques!
His reputation would instead restrict his development!
This was because a bad character setting could backfire on oneself.
For example, Fu Su was a clear example.
He went to deal with the locust plague, the plague, and even secretly quelling the rebellion. Those were all things that happened by the way.
Ying Zixuan only had one goal from the beginning.
It was to break through the art of witchcraft to an unprecedented height.
For this, he was willing to pay any price.
In his opinion, the so-called virtuous reputation was not worth mentioning at all.
Especially for the Longevity Gu…
Whether it was to prolong the life of his father or for himself, he wanted to pry into the secret of immortality!
In addition!
He was also investigating the secrets of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.
That legendary power.
He really wanted to see with his own eyes what was so magical about it.
It could actually make the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and even the descendants of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States go crazy!
At this moment.
"Father, I no longer have any objections to Seventh Brother's search for the secret of immortality." Fu Su bowed. Because he was willing to bear all the infamy for Imperial Father. His filial piety was so pure and sincere that it made me, the eldest brother of the Imperial Father, feel inferior.”
"But Father, as the ruler of the Nine Provinces, your son still dares to advise you today that the corpses of the 300 necromancers should be buried in a simple and low-key manner. Don't make too much noise, lest the people of the world talk about tyranny when they talk about Qin.”
"As for the books of the six dynasties that have been hoarded and burned, I also think that we should not act rashly. This is an act that will cut off the culture and will definitely make the scholars of the world feel cold.”
……
After saying that, Fu Su fell to his knees.
Ying Zixuan glanced at his eldest brother with interest.
So that was the case.
The reason why Fu Su mentioned that he had killed 300 necromancers was partly because he wanted to suppress him and make a name for himself.
On the other hand.
Naturally, he raised an objection to Qin Shi Huang's act of burning the books.
And this…was the famous burning of books and burying of scholars in history!
"Fu Su, you really disappoint me!”
The First Emperor's eyes gradually turned dark and angry. He said,""You don't object to Zixuan prying into the secrets of immortality for me because if he bears the eternal infamy, he will definitely not be able to compete with you for the throne.”
"As for the burning of the books, We want to stop the rumors and slander of Great Qin and make the people of the world acknowledge themselves as people of Qin!”
"The scholars you speak of are important, but compared to the hearts of the people of the Nine Prefectures, which is more important?”
"How pedantic…From today onwards, I order Eldest Young Master Fusu to go to the Great Wall to guard the border. Without an edict, he is not allowed to return to Xianyang!”
……
After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.
In the huge Zhangtai Hall.
The needle fell with a sound.
Everyone silently cupped their hands and sent him off.
Fu Su knelt on the ground. After the First Emperor left, he said with a trembling voice,""Your son will obey."
Prime Minister Li Si looked at Fu Su and sighed deeply. Fortunately, he did not choose Fu Su.
That bunch of old things from the scholarly faction would probably explode this time!
Huhai seemed to be gloating over Fu Su's misfortune because he had been taught a lesson by Fu Su many times before.
A man who likes to be a teacher!
They were usually hated by others!
This was especially true for Fu Su.
"Big brother, the frontier fortress is bitterly cold, so I won't send you off.”
Ying Zixuan leaned over and patted Fu Su's shoulder, then walked out of the hall.
Originally, he was not particularly interested in that throne.
However, if Fu Su insisted on pushing it into his hands…
Then it would be impolite of him to refuse.
Qin II…felt that there was no harm in being the leader!!
