Xianyang City.
In Zhangtai Palace.
An old man was lying on the king's couch. His breathing had already become extremely weak.
He was the current king of the State of Qin, and also the king who had been in power for the longest time among the descendants of Ying Tian. Counting this year, he had been in power for fifty-six years. He was Ying Ji.
At this moment.
In front of the king's couch.
The civil and military officials kneeling in the State of Qin all had sorrowful expressions.
"Ancestor…Is the ancestor still not responding?"
Ying Ji raised his head weakly and looked at his son Ying Zhu, who was lying beside the bed, with a hopeful look.
"Father."
"Ancestor Palace, the palace door is closed. Ancestor... The ancestor didn't respond."
Ying Zhu said sadly.
After hearing this, a hint of bitterness appeared in Ying Ji's eyes, but there was nothing he could do."Old Ancestor, it seems like I won't have the chance to listen to your teachings in this life. If there's a next life, I hope that I'll still have the surname Ying and be your descendant, a descendant of Great Qin.”
"Father, your son will go to the Primogenitor Palace and ask the ancestor to see you again.”
Ying Zhu said with a pained expression.
"Forget it."
"Perhaps only when the Great Qin Empire's survival is at stake will the Old Ancestor break out of seclusion. In the past, I was indebted to the Old Ancestor's guidance to be where I am today.”
"It's enough."
Ying Ji struggled to give a smile, and shook his head as if he had used all the strength in his body.
"Zhu 'er."
"Zichu."
Ying Ji said loudly.
"Your son is here."
"Grandson is here."
Ying Zhu and his son Ying Zichu immediately replied.
"Remember."
"Ancestor's wish is also the wish of all the generations of our old Qin people. Destroy the six countries and unite the world.”
"Tell your son."
Ying Ji fixed his gaze on Ying Zhu, then turned his gaze to Ying Zichu and said,""And tell your son."
"Men of the Great Qin, descendants of the Ying family, don't forget to head east and unify the world to revive the Great Qin.”
Hearing that.
Ying Zhu and Ying Zichu's bodies trembled as they kowtowed at the same time,""Your son (grandson) will remember the king's edict.”
At this moment.
Outside the main hall.
Suddenly, a general arrived.
"Your Majesty."
"Outside the palace, there are people who claim to be the wife and son of the heir to the throne, but they are blocked by the people of Lord Yangquan and cannot enter the palace.”
Qin Jiang came to the main hall and bowed respectfully.
"Could it be that Zheng 'er is back?" A hint of excitement appeared on Ying Zichu's face.
Hearing this report.
Standing at the side, Ying Zhu's most beloved wife, Hua Yang, had a slight change in expression. She immediately stood up and said,""Your Majesty, when Zichu was a hostage in the State of Zhao, there was indeed a woman called Zhao Ji who served him. She also gave birth to a son for Zichu, but ever since Zichu risked his life to escape from the State of Zhao, Zhao Ji and her son have been closely monitored by the State of Zhao.”
"That's why I suspect that they aren't really Zichu's wives, so I've blocked them outside the palace. I'll let Zichu see them personally after I've investigated.”
Ying Ji glanced at Hua Yang, but did not say anything. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ying Zichu and said weakly,""Zichu, what is the name of the son you left in Handan?”
"Your Majesty."
"When Zichu was taken hostage by Zhao, he did have a son named Zhao Zheng. Because he had yet to join the Great Qin Imperial Clan, he did not take the surname Ying.”Ying Zichu replied respectfully.
"Zhao Zheng…"
Ying Ji's eyes were filled with a thoughtful look. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something."Your son's name is Zheng?"
"Yes."
Ying Zichu nodded honestly.
"Zheng, Zhao Zheng."
"After joining the Great Qin Imperial Clan, it will be Ying Zheng.”
"This... "This is the person that the Old Ancestor told me about, the person who will follow the will of the heavens and lead Great Qin to destroy the six countries, the person who will unite the world.”
Ying Ji struggled to stand up from the royal couch, his face filled with unprecedented excitement.
"Father."
"Your body is weak. It's better for you to lie down.”
Ying Zhu said worriedly.
"Your Majesty."
"Originally, with Lord Yangquan blocking the way at the palace gate, I did not dare to enter the palace, but..."
The palace guard looked at Madam Hua Yang nervously, then hesitantly picked up a token,""Young Master Zheng has a token in his hand. I have no choice but to enter the palace to meet the king.”
"Token?"
Ying Ji, as well as everyone else in the hall, turned their eyes to the token in General Qin's hand.
When he saw the original appearance of the token.
From Ying Ji to every civil and military official of Great Qin in the hall, their faces were instantly filled with surprise, or rather, reverence.
"Primogenitor Heavenly Token."
" Why does he have the Primogenitor Heavenly Token?"
Ying Ji raised his trembling hand and looked at the token in shock.
Ying Zhu immediately stepped forward, took the token, and handed it to Ying Ji respectfully.
