Zhangtai Palace!
Morning court!
The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was sitting on the Dragon Throne.
The crown fluttered without any wind, but it could not block Ying Zheng's line of sight.
His gaze swept across the group of civil and military officials as he watched them whisper to each other.
This was because, in addition to the civil and military officials, there was also a group of princes.
Ying Zheng did not pay any attention to their little trick, instead, he waved his hand at Zhao Gao, and the latter understood.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw."
Zhao Gao's feminine voice echoed throughout the hall.
At that moment, Li Si walked up and cupped his hands.""Your Majesty, the officials supervising the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum have reported that due to the heavy rain recently, the progress of the Imperial Mausoleum will be delayed by 30 days.”
"Thirty days?"
A cold and dignified voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall.
All the officials and princes felt their hearts tighten!
As the crown moved, Ying Zheng shouted in a mighty voice,""I will send you another three thousand soldiers and fifty thousand civilians!”
"If the project is not completed within fifteen days, all those responsible for this project will be executed, and their families and three clans will be demoted to slavery!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire imperial court fell silent.
Only Li Si's expression did not change.”
"Do you have any more books to report?"
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly turned to the others.
Wang Ben walked out of the court, cupped his fists and said,""Your Majesty, the Stone of Mars has appeared, and all the forces in the world are secretly moving.”
"According to our investigation, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations are all vying for it!”
"I think we should send more troops to East County to prevent…"
Before Wang Ben could finish his sentence, Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and stopped him.
On the Dragon Platform.
Ying Zheng slowly rose to his feet, holding the Qin Sword in his hand and said,""Fu Su, what do you think of Qin Ying?”
Young Master Fusu was startled when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and walked out of the court.
"Father, I believe that the Six Nations and the Hundred Schools of Thought are all subjects of Great Qin. Although using martial arts to suppress them can be used for a while, it won't be able to last long!”
"This time, the appearance of the Stone of Mars is an opportunity.”
"We can explore the secrets of this stone of chaos together and have a good talk with the people of the six dynasties and the Bai clan.”
"After they experience the goodwill of the Imperial Court, I believe that they will definitely put down their guard and prejudice and sincerely submit to the Imperial Court!”
·······
After saying that, Fu Su's eyes lit up as he looked at his father, wanting to get his approval.
However!
What awaited him was an unknown silence.
Under the crown, Ying Zheng looked at Fu Su with a meaningful look, but he was sighing in his heart because Fu Su's words were too soft, or rather, too gentle, too weak!
After a long time.
"You may leave now!" Ying Zheng said slowly.”
Fu Su's face turned pale. He did not expect that his honest words would not win his father's approval.
Fu Su retreated dejectedly.
Many ministers looked at each other and saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
A voice suddenly rang out amidst the silence of the court.
"The Hundred Schools of Philosophy are not ordinary people. They are all powerful people. They are either extremely knowledgeable or have disciples all over the world.”
"From the looks of it, they themselves are a very powerful force!”
" They are confident in their identities and have nothing to fear. They have colluded with the remnants of the six dynasties and become a hidden danger of the Imperium!”
"And blindly appeasing them will only make them fearless and even more arrogant. They might even use this as a basis to bargain with the imperial court!”
"Your son has heard that the entire world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king. If he didn't want to become a king, he should use thunderous methods!”
"After all, the rain and thunder are all thanks to the king!”
The moment these words were said, it was like a bolt from the blue that struck everyone's hearts.
Especially Li Si, Meng Tian, and the others, their eyes shone brightly.
At this moment, they seemed to see the ambition and sharpness that Ying Zheng had displayed when he was still the King of Qin in Ying Ziyan!!!
On the dragon platform, Ying Zheng fixed his eyes on Ying Ziyan for a long time.
At this moment, no one knew what the one emperor of the ages was thinking!
However, he seemed to be able to touch everything.
"Retreat!"
Ying Zheng still did not say anything else, but it was more than enough.
Just as the officials were leaving the court, Zhao Gao walked up to Ying Ziyan and said,""Your Highness, the First Emperor has issued a decree to invite Your Highness to Zhangtai Palace!”
Ying Ziyan nodded slightly and didn't say anything as he followed closely behind Zhao Gao.
……
Zhangtai Palace!
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne.
He looked into the distance with a solemn expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Ziyan has arrived.”
Zhao Gao bowed, and his feminine voice woke Ying Zheng up from his deep thoughts.
"Announce!"
"Yes!"
Shaoqing and Ying Ziyan walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng waved his hand at Zhao Gao, and the latter understood, bowed and left.
At this moment.
Only the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng and Young Master Zi Yan were left in the hall.
The father and son looked at each other speechlessly.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Ying Ziyan stood tall and straight, looking straight ahead, neither servile nor overbearing.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to see through Ying Ziyan.
After a long while, Ying Zheng waved at him, signaling him to walk up the Dragon Platform.
A bright light flashed in Ying Ziyan's eyes.
He strolled over.
Ta, ta, ta!
In the silent hall, he could hear his own footsteps. It was as if every step he took was stepping on his heart.
The Dragon Platform wasn't high, but he felt like he was climbing a peak.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng stood up, and the crown on his head made a popping sound.
His body was as straight as a pillar.
He held the Qin Sword in his hand and stood proudly.
At this moment, in Ying Ziyan's eyes, his father was as tall and majestic as a mountain.
"Tell me, what are you looking at?"
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng looked ahead and asked calmly.
Ying Ziyan climbed onto the dragon platform, turned around, and looked into the distance, following Ying Zheng's gaze.
At this moment, he seemed to be standing at the peak of the world.
Beneath his feet were the people, the nations, and the world!
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"Father."”
"Your son has seen the magnificence of Zhangtai Palace and the sharpness of our Great Qin army.”
"I saw the surrender of the remnants of the Six Nations, and I saw the end of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy!”
"See that our Great Qin will be passed down from generation to generation and will be immortal!”
Ying Ziyan's voice wasn't loud.
However, at this moment, he felt as if his voice could pass through the barriers of time and space and spread throughout the world.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng suddenly turned his head.
The crown danced in the air, blocking his vision.
However, this couldn't stop the Emperor's fervent heart.
Once upon a time, he was also this young and had great ambitions.
Looking back, there was only time.
Ying Ziyan turned around and met Ying Zheng's gaze.
The father and son looked at each other speechlessly.
This moment seemed to last forever!
"Ziyan, remember what you said today!"
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng said calmly.
Ying Ziyan nodded heavily.
