"I have sharpened my sword for a thousand years just to swing it once.”
"If I don't accumulate enough power, how can I fight the heavens? How can I let my Great Qin prosper forever?”
"Baiqi, Wei Yang."
"You all understand."
"Fighting against the heavens is not like the competition between countries.”
"Once you fail, you will be doomed."
Ying Tian said slowly.
"We understand."
Baiqi and Wei Yang replied in unison.
The man in white was Bai Qi.
The gray-robed man was Wei Yang.
No matter which one of these two people was, they were famous in this world.
Wei Yang.
Also known as Shang Yang.
During the period of Duke Xiao of Qin, Ying Quliang, he strongly advocated for the reform of the Great Qin Empire and adopted the military merit system, allowing the Great Qin Empire to complete the transformation of the empire. All the people became soldiers, and the Great Qin Empire's strength increased by dozens of times. The name of the Shang Lord was known to the world.
As for Bai Qi.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, the Great Qin War God was also known as the God of Slaughter by all countries.
He commanded the elite soldiers of the Qin army, and wherever the vanguard pointed, he looked down on them.
During the attack on Zhao, in the Battle of Changping, 400,000 Zhao troops were killed and the vitality of Zhao was greatly damaged.
However, whether it was Wei Yang or Baiqi, everyone knew that they did not have a good ending.
After the death of Ying Quliang, Wei Yang was executed by Ying Si, settling the hatred of the nobles.
Baiqi, on the other hand, was sentenced to death by Ying Ji because of his high achievements and his disobedience to the king's edict.
However, looking at it now…
This was not what the world knew. Their deaths were fake, and it was Ying Tian's plan for Great Qin.
"The soul of my descendant should not be destroyed.”
Ying Tian stared at Zhangtai Palace, then waved his hand. A vast power appeared and brought Ying Zhu's soul into the Primogenitor Palace, isolating him from the world.
......
The sound of a great funeral.
After the death of King Zhaoxiang, Ying Ji, the new King of Qin, Ying Zhu, also died.
The entire Xianyang City fell into a state of great sorrow once again.
However, compared to King Zhaoxiang's national funeral, Ying Zhu's national funeral was much simpler.
A month later.
The national funeral ceremony was basically completed.
In the King Qin Palace.
All the officials gathered.
Ying Zichu had already changed into a royal robe and sat on the throne.
"Our Great Qin is unfortunate to have lost two rulers in a short year.”
"As the Crown Prince, I will inherit the throne in front of the spirit. I will respect the teachings of my ancestors and make Great Qin strong. I will let Great Qin unify the world and create the foundation of Great Qin for eternity.”Ying Zichu sat on the throne and said to the officials.
"Your Majesty is wise."
All the civil and military officials shouted in unison.
"Now that I've just ascended the throne, seeing that the position of Prime Minister of Great Qin is vacant, I should grant you the position of Prime Minister to assist me in managing the affairs of Great Qin.”
Ying Zichu was quite satisfied with the result.
As soon as he finished speaking.
All the officials in the court became nervous.
Among the civil officials, Lu Buwei, who had always been Ying Zichu's hanger-on, clenched his fists tightly, his brows full of anticipation.
"Ever since I was a hostage in Zhao, Lu Buwei had helped me out. After I returned to Qin, he even gave me advice.”
"I have decided to make Lu Buwei the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire.”Ying Zichu announced loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Lord of Yangquan, Mi Chen's expression changed." Your Majesty, Lu Buwei is just a merchant. He has a lowly status. How can he be the Prime Minister of the Great Qin?"”
"Your Majesty, please retract your order."
The officials immediately stood up and retorted.
"This matter has already been decided in my heart.”
"The position of Prime Minister belongs to Lu Buwei.”
"Lu Buwei, come forward and receive the edict." Ying Zichu immediately said.
"Your subject is here."
Lu Buwei walked out with excitement.
"I'll grant you the title of Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and grant you the Prime Minister Seal to assist me in governing the country.”Ying Zichu said.
"I accept the imperial edict and thank the king for your kindness." Lu Buwei bowed his head, extremely excited.
"Also."
"My son, Ying Zheng, has been treated well by the old ancestor. When the former king was alive, he was even conferred the title of heir. Now that I have succeeded the throne, my son Ying Zheng shall be conferred the title of Crown Prince, the heir to the throne of Great Qin.”
Ying Zichu changed his tone and looked at Ying Zheng, who was standing in the imperial clan, as he announced loudly.
"Is the position of Crown Prince going to be decided like this?”
He had lost the position of Prime Minister, and now, he was about to become the Crown Prince. Mi Chen's face had turned very ugly.
He looked at Hua Yang, who was sitting on the left side of Ying Zichu. Now that she had been promoted to the position of Empress Dowager, she hoped to be rejected, but she did not receive any response.
"Your son thanks father for your kindness."
Ying Zheng stepped out slowly and bowed respectfully.
"Alright."
Looking at Ying Zheng's young and mature appearance, Ying Zichu felt very gratified.
Ying Zichu naturally felt indebted to his eldest son. Moreover, his son was highly regarded by Great Qin's ancestor, and he would be of great help to him when he inherited the throne. He could use the ancestor's authority to control the country's politics and uphold the ancestor's righteousness.
"Empress Dowager should not have any objections to this.”
Ying Zichu turned his eyes and asked Empress Dowager Hua Yang, who was on the left.
"BenGong naturally has no objections."
Empress Dowager Hua Yang said without changing her expression.
"That's good."
"Today's court meeting will decide on these two matters.”
Ying Zichu nodded his head in satisfaction. Seeing that Empress Dowager Hua Yang didn't reject it, Ying Zichu naturally felt that she had given up on promoting Cheng Jiao as the Crown Prince.
