Chapter 006-Sneaky Zhao Gao, Divine Sword Xuanyuan! (New book, review!)
Zhao Gao still had a gentle smile on his face. After he walked out of the hall, he cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Lu."Young Master, His Majesty has summoned all the young masters and ministers into the palace for a meeting. If His Majesty hears that the young masters are quarreling outside the palace, I'm afraid he will be unhappy.”
Ying Lu sized up Zhao Gao.
The Zhao Gao in front of him was completely different from the Zhao Gao in the movies and dramas in his previous life.
In the movies and TV series, Zhao Gao was played like a humble and flattering villain.
However, when Ying Lu saw Zhao Gao for the first time, he even suspected that this guy was really Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao, who was standing in front of Ying Lu, was tall and burly, with a straight back. This was not the image of a sycophant.
Later on, Ying Lu realized that movies and dramas were all about deception.
In his early years, Zhao Gao was Ying Zheng's bodyguard.
What Lang Wei? They were like personal guards.
How could a personal guard of an emperor be a hunchbacked and blind person?
Zhao Gao was the first to discover Lao Ai's plot during the coup of Qi Nian Palace, and he told Ying Zheng about it.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Gao gained Ying Zheng's trust for the first time.
He became the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture and was in charge of the emperor's carriage.
When the emperor went out, the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture would definitely accompany him and ride on the horse.
If such a person did not fit the image of a tall and mighty figure, how could he possibly show the majesty of the empire?
Back then, when Crown Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate Ying Zheng, all the officials in the hall could not dodge in time, and only two of them made the first move.
The first one was Imperial Physician Xia Wuqie. Xia Wuqie used the medicine box he carried on his back to hit Jing Ke, which gave Ying Zheng time to draw his sword.
The second person was Zhao Gao, who had rushed over from outside the hall empty-handed.
The emperor's guards were not allowed to wear weapons, and Zhao Gao went to the palace barehanded.
These two life-saving grace had given Ying Zheng an unprecedented trust in Zhao Gao.
Moreover, Zhao Gao was an extremely ambitious person and was familiar with the laws of the Qin country.
The laws of Qin were strict and strict, so Ying Zheng often had to consult ancient books to read memorials.
However, with Zhao Gao as a living code of law, there was no need to check it personally.
Apart from that, Zhao Gao was also an expert in swordsmanship. Ying Lu had never seen how powerful he was, but he had become Huhai's swordsmanship teacher after he had grown up.
However, Ying Lu knew very well what it meant to be a great traitor but a great hypocrite.
Zhao Gao was definitely a cunning person.
Ying Lu glanced at Zhao Gao, who was standing in front of him, then turned around and went into the palace with his sword.
Only the various young masters and the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Jian, had the honor of bringing a sword to the palace.
The short fight between the young masters came to an end just like that.
Huhai was so angry that his face turned red. He pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Zhao Gao turned to look at Huhai and smiled,""Young Master, His Majesty is still waiting for you. You must not disappoint His Majesty.”
There was a hidden meaning behind Zhao Gao's words. Although Huhai heard it, his eyes were still fixed on Ying Lu's back.
"Milords, please." Zhao Gao smiled and turned to the side, making way for Li Si and the others.
Right Prime Minister Li Si, Left Prime Minister Feng Quji, Marquis Tong Wu Wang Ben, High Minister Meng Yi, and the others all entered the hall.
However, when everyone passed by the palace door, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Why did the Fifth Young Master, Ying Lu, who used to hide his strength and bide his time, show his brilliance today?
Did he want to fight for the crown prince? Or why?
Above the magnificent hall, stone pillars that were more than ten meters tall supported the huge dome.
There were no complicated patterns on the dome, only a huge map.
It was an unprecedented map that the Great Qin Empire had drawn after clearing out the Six Directions. It was a map that faced the sea in the east and the river in the west!
Ever since the first human appeared on this land, there had never been such a large territory.
This was once Ying Zheng's pride.
But now, looking at the map on the dome, the emperor seemed to have regained his youth, and there was a raging flame burning in his heart.
The name of this flame was Conquer!
In the distant west, there were still ten countries waiting for him to conquer.
Sitting in the main hall, Ying Zheng was dressed in a black imperial robe, with the number one divine sword of the Great Qin Empire hanging from his waist.
It is said that the bronze of Shoushan was cast by the Yellow Emperor and later passed down to Xia Yu.
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.
It was also known as the Jiuyi Heavenly Venerate Sword, symbolizing the unification of the Nine States and the unification of the world.
Yesterday, the next ranking was announced on the Coast of the East Sea's Heavenly Dao Imperial Ranking.
Great Qin Divine Weapon Ranking.
According to his experience from the first Empire Rankings, the higher the ranking, the more bountiful the rewards would be.
Ying Zheng had already proved this point through his own feelings. The Heavenly Dao Imperial Ranking was not just an illusion.
Because at this moment, although Ying Zheng still maintained his original appearance, all his ailments seemed to have been swept away, and he was in a state of high spirits.
Many civil officials and generals went up to the palace one after another. Ying Lu, who was wearing Shen Tu's robe, and Huhai, who was wearing Cheng Ying's robe, came to the front of the stairs.
"Humph!" Huhai looked at Ying Lu and snorted.
Ying Lu didn't even look at Huhai.
As long as his cheapskate father didn't die, Huhai was just a fart. If he wanted to make him younger, he could do it anytime, anywhere!
After all the ministers had arrived, Ying Zheng swept his gaze across them, then said,""Yesterday, the Empire Rankings appeared, and We thought that Great Qin was the only one in the world!”
While speaking, Ying Zheng pointed to the west and said,""When the Divine Light escaped, it was headed west. Apart from Great Qin, the other nine countries were all in the west.”
At this point, Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Ying Lu.
"Slaughter, if I remember correctly, five years ago, when the Great Yue Clan plundered the border, you requested to go to Li Xin's army to fight against the Great Yue Clan.”
Ying Lu, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, did not expect his father to ask him first.
He was still thinking about the announcement of the Divine Weapon Rankings in a few days.
