"You should watch your words. There is a mysterious force behind Zhao Gao. It is said that this force was once controlled by Lu Xiangguo and was finally taken over by Zhao Gao!”
"Yes, I've also heard about this matter. However, for young master Qin Lan to have the courage to beat up Zhao Gao, just based on this point alone, I admire him very much.”
"Let's not talk about this. It's said that His Majesty sent people to search for the Sword God in Xianyang City, but they didn't find him in the end. I wonder how His Majesty feels now!”
……………………
While the ministers were discussing, a hearty laugh came from behind Qin Lan.
Meng Yi slowly walked over.
When they passed by the other officials, they all made way and cupped their hands in respect." Greetings, Lord."”
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Meng Yi nodded.
Very soon, he arrived in front of Qin Lan and bowed with both hands folded." Meng Yi greets Young Master Qin Lan!”
Qin Lan hurried forward and helped Meng Yi up." Uncle Meng, what are you doing? Why are you being so polite with me?!"”
Meng Yi and his father grew up together. According to etiquette, it was reasonable to address him as uncle!
Especially since he had a good relationship with Meng Yi and Meng Tian!
However, Meng Tian had been leading troops to fight all year round, suppressing the remnants of the six countries and the wolf race at the border of Great Qin!
Therefore, they met less often!
However, every time Meng Tian returned to Xianyang, after she had settled the matters at hand, she would definitely find him to have a drinking session!
It could be seen that their relationship was close!
"Isn't this the palace? We can't be lacking in etiquette.”Meng Yi chuckled.
The rules in the palace were strict. Even if he was a high official, he had to abide by them.
Qin Lan also understood this logic and nodded.
At this moment, Meng Yi elbowed Qin Lan and said in a low voice," Young Master, tell me how you beat up that eunuch tonight!”
Qin Lan did not intend to hide this.
Hence, he told Meng Yi about the cause and effect of the matter.
In the process of narrating, he emphasized the story of beating up Zhao Gao, which made Meng Yi laugh so hard that his mouth split open.
Time?
It passed away very quickly!
It was already dawn.
A sharp voice of a duck came from the hall.
"Court!"
Squeak squeak…
Squeak squeak…
As soon as he finished speaking, the thick stone door of the Black Dragon Hall was slowly pushed open.
Then, the civil and military officials were arranged according to their positions. They were divided into two rows and walked into the hall in an orderly manner.
Qin Lan led the other princes and walked slowly in the center.
He only stopped when he reached the center of the hall.
It was also at this moment that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, walked over from the side and climbed up the steps. The moment he sat on the dragon throne, all the civil and military officials knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Ten thousand years for Your Majesty and ten thousand years for Great Qin.”
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Ten thousand years for Your Majesty and ten thousand years for Great Qin.”
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Ten thousand years for Your Majesty and ten thousand years for Great Qin.”
…………………
The sound was continuous.
When the news reached the outside of the hall, all the guards in the palace knelt on the ground and shouted at the top of their lungs.
In an instant, the news spread inside and outside Xianyang Palace.
Inside the hall.
The black-robed First Emperor, Ying Zheng, slowly raised his hand." Dear ministers, please rise!”
Although his voice was soft, it was clearly transmitted into the ears of everyone inside and outside the hall.
One could see how powerful the First Emperor Ying Zheng was.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers stood up and waited for the emperor to speak.
At this moment, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, looked down at the ministers below the stage with a cold expression.
" I'm sure all of you are aware of what happened last night. Falling Star landed, the Golden List appeared, and the Famous Sword List announced the world's famous swords. They were ranked and given corresponding rewards.”
"I wonder what the ministers think about this matter!”
Silence…
Silence…
As his voice fell, the hall fell into a strange silence, as if a pin drop could be heard clearly!
The ministers looked at each other, hoping that the other party would speak first.
To talk about insights?
Everyone had their own views on this!
However, the key was that Emperor Shi Huang did not find the Sword God, which meant that he did not obtain the Nine Revolutions Longevity Pill.
Now His Majesty's mood is unfathomable.
This made them not dare to express their opinions recklessly, for fear of bumping into His Majesty's anger.
At this moment, the eighteenth prince, Huhai, stepped forward and cupped his hands." Father, I think this is the best time for us to strengthen the empire!"”
"Oh?"
Seeing that Hu Hai was the first to speak, the First Emperor Ying Zheng said with interest,
"Continue!"
"Father, the Famous Sword Ranking is only one of the Golden Rankings. There will be other rankings appearing in the future, which means that the rewards will also appear.”
"If we can take the famous swords in the world and the rewards from the other rankings for our own use, then why should we worry about the Empire not being strong?”
Simple words!
It directly explained Huhai's ambition!
At the same time, many of the ministers who supported Huhai echoed his words.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Huhai is right. In this way, all the swordsmen in the world will definitely come to the Qin country.”
"That's right, as long as they don't join the Qin country, they will be ostracized and ordered to be captured. Under such circumstances, they can only submit to the empire.”
"If the Empire is strong, then what do the other races at the border have to fear?”
…………………
However, at this moment, Young Master Ying Fusu stood up and cupped his hands. He said softly," Father, the Empire has just ended the war and is recovering its rationality. The Golden Roll has appeared, and the generous rewards corresponding to the roll will cause chaos in the world!”
"It is my wisest choice for the Imperium to recuperate now!”
"If we forcefully harvest the rewards from the swordsmen and other factions, it will definitely affect our interests and incite a rebellion against Qin. This will cause the swordsmen and factions in the world to unite and shake Great Qin's foundation!”
As he spoke, his face was filled with anxiety and worry.
Many ministers agreed with Young Master Fusu's suggestion.
Instantly, the hall entered a stalemate!
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, seemed to have expected this situation, and was not surprised at all!
Instead, he swept his gaze across the ministers present and said with a solemn expression," I already have an idea of this matter. There's no need to discuss it anymore!”
"But there is one thing that you are not clear about.”
"Last night, Fallen Star landed on the ground. The meteorite turned into a huge golden rock, and eleven words were engraved on it!”
"The Hu who destroyed Qin, the First Emperor died and the land was divided!”
"What do you think of these eleven words?”
"What?"
"What?"
