"Zhao Gao, did you hear this clearly?”
Ying Zheng handed over the imperial decree that he had just written in his hand, his entire body exuding the domineering aura of an emperor.
Zhao Gao carefully took it and nodded.
However, he was still puzzled as to why Ying Zheng would suddenly establish Daoism as the national religion.
He had only heard of Daoism, but had never heard of Daoism.
And the State of Qin and Taoism had never had any interactions. Even if there was, it could only be a negative interaction. This sudden establishment of Taoism as the national religion, wasn't it a little too outrageous?
Under normal circumstances, the Yin-Yang School should be established first, followed by Taoism. After all, the two Great Guardians of the State of Qin were both from the Yin-Yang School!
And most importantly, who was this Daoist god, Emperor Shaoyang of the Eastern Flower Purple Mansion? He had never heard of him before!
Filled with doubts, Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng, wanting to answer all his questions.
However, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao coldly, which made him not dare to make a sound.
Zhao Gao nodded and turned to leave.
Looking at Zhao Gao's departing figure, Ying Zheng thought for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that this matter of establishing a sect was indeed without a beginning or end, and was difficult to establish. He was afraid that there was no reason why it would be difficult to do so.
Therefore, he stopped Zhao Gao and said.
"Zhao Gao, I just closed my eyes to rest when I suddenly dreamed of the Duke of Zhou. The Duke of Zhou recommended a Taoist god to me. It's the Taoist god I just mentioned, Emperor Shaoyang of the Eastern Purple Mansion.”
"The god has sent word that he wants me to establish Daoism as the national religion and respect him as the leader. He can guarantee the stability of my Qin country, the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people, and the smooth weather.”
Zhao Gao nodded repeatedly, memorizing Ying Zheng's words.
Ying Zheng was very satisfied and waved his hand.
There were two benefits to this move. One was that he could find a reason for his sudden move. The other was that it could encourage the hearts of the commoners. Whether or not the so-called country was prosperous and the people were in peace, it would leave a thought in their hearts and make it easier for them to accept it.
After doing all this, Ying Zheng rubbed his temples. After a busy night, he was a little tired. After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Ying Zheng went to bed and left.
The next day, after breakfast, Ying Zheng was sitting in his bedroom, planning to call Zhao Gao over to ask him about the progress.
A voice came from outside the door.
"Your humble servant Li Si requests an audience with Your Majesty."
"Come in."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
A modest-looking man who looked gentle and refined slowly walked in.
This was the current Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si.
Although he looked docile, he was actually full of tricks.
In Ying Zheng's eyes, he was a genius who was worthy of being put in an important position.
"What is it?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, I've already completed the guard manor you asked me to hire a few days ago. He's currently on his way to kill Ge Nia, and not long ago, his subordinates encountered Ge Nia.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"And then?"
Li Si shook his head and sighed.
"Unfortunately, although Ge Nia was heavily injured, they encountered the Xiang Clan on the way. Under their interference, Wei Zhuang's subordinates were unable to kill Ge Nia and bring him back to Tianming.”
After saying that, Li Si raised his head to look at Ying Zheng's expression.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng's face was calm, as if he was not angry about this defeat.
After all, the current Ying Zheng was no longer the Ying Zheng of the past. He was still the same person, but his horizons were much higher.
In front of a god like Dong Wang Gong, these things were all trivial matters. Ge Nia and Tianming would all be in his pocket once he succeeded in gaining Dong Wang Gong's recognition.
Li Si was surprised to see this.
He had only left for a few days, but why did Ying Zheng seem to have changed into a completely different person? What was with this strange confidence?
Could it be related to that Daoist deity, Emperor Shaoyang of the Eastern Flower Purple Mansion, who had issued an edict not long ago?
On the way back, Li Si heard the news and was speechless. He had come to Ying Zheng not only to inform him of the news from Ge Nia, but also to advise him.
After a few seconds of silence, Li Si asked tentatively,"
"Your Highness, I heard that you issued an edict yesterday to establish Taoism as the national religion. At the same time, you also want to build a holy statue to worship the Daoist god, Emperor Shaoyang of the Eastern Flower Purple Mansion?”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and nodded.
Li Si could not sit still anymore after receiving an affirmative answer and immediately tried to persuade her.
"Your Majesty, this isn't appropriate. Great Qin has only recently been established, and even though it has annexed the territories of the six countries, it has only been unified for a short period of time. It is still at a critical moment, and Your Majesty's actions are not only a waste of manpower and money, but there is also something that I have to say: the so-called deities and ghosts are all lies; one's own strength is the most important.”
Li Si was impassioned and his words were clear.
Ying Zheng looked displeased, but he also understood in his heart that what Li Si said was reasonable and well-founded. He was a loyal official, and he had the courage and courage to do so. If it was in the past, he would never have done such a thing.
However, things were different now. He had confirmed the existence of Donghuang Wang and had given him a great gift.
If he really listened to Li Si, he would definitely regret it.
Therefore, he said without hesitation.
"Li Si, you're too narrow-minded. I've already made up my mind on this matter. You don't have to say anything more.”
Li Si: "???"
