He was appointed to the post of Chief of Staff.
This was the dispute between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei.
In the end, it was just a struggle for power.
Lord Chang Ping was very clear about this, so he used this to remind Ying Zheng that Lu Buwei could not be left alive.
At the same time, he was also taking credit for himself.
After what happened to Lao Ai today, regardless of whether Lu Buwei died or not, he could no longer suppress Ying Zheng.
It is imperative that he be crowned and preside over the government.
As the person who had spoken first, whether or not the King could execute Lu Buwei, Lord Changping would not lose out.
"Your Majesty, please crown yourself and govern."
Seeing that Lu Buwei was about to fall, the most important thing now was to follow the dragon.
Therefore, after Lord Chang Ping, all the officials from the Chu faction, Old Qin faction, and Lu Buwei's faction stepped forward and shouted.
Even Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and the other ministers were no exception.
Not long after, many people in the imperial court prostrated themselves, and it seemed like the general trend of the times.
However, these people were not enough.
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei understood what he meant, but his expression did not change. He stepped out of the crowd and cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng.
"Old minister Lu Buwei, please crown Your Majesty and take charge of the government.”
At this point, there was no one left standing in the Four Seas Return Palace.
"I understand your request. Where is Fengchang?”
Ying Zheng was not modest either, as this was his right.
Logically speaking, when he was 20 years old, he should have held a coronation ceremony and officially become the ruler.
"Your subject is here."
Feng Chang, who was already mentally prepared, responded.
"When is the nearest auspicious day for my coronation ceremony?”
"Your Majesty, five days later." Feng Chang said.
"In that case, we will hold the coronation ceremony in Yong City's ancestral temple in five days.”
"Officials, follow me in three days.”
"We will obey the king's orders." The officials were overjoyed and shouted loudly.
They knew that the direction of the Great Qin Dynasty was about to change.
……
After that, there were no more major events, so Ying Zheng gave the order to retreat.
The civil and military officials left in twos and threes.
Unlike when they had come, the officials of Lu Buwei's faction looked dejected, as if they had lost their parents and were in a state of panic.
The Chu officials led by Lord Chang Ping were all arrogant and proud.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Lu Buwei would be half-crippled if not dead.
Next, it was time to beat the dog when it was down.
Gazing at Lu Buwei's lonely back, the corners of Lord Changping's mouth curled up.
"Lord Chang Ping, please wait. Empress Dowager Hua Yang has ordered for Lord Chang Ping to go to Hua Yang Palace for an audience.”
At this moment, an inner servant walked up to Lord Chang Ping and said.
"Aunt wants to see me? Lead the way."
Lord Chang Ping nodded and gave some instructions to Chang Wenjun before following the chamberlain to Huayang Palace.
……
"Rumble…"
As the carriage rushed towards the Palace of Orchid Pool, Ying Zheng placed his consciousness on the system in his mind.
[System Master: Ying Zheng]
[Cultivation: Physical Invulnerability Grandmaster]
[Cultivation Method: Great Dao Emperor Code]
[Dynasty: Great Qin]
[Fate Level: Unrated]
[Origin points: 12,000]
[Item: None]
"Congratulations, host. You have completed phase one: Take over the government, lottery chances 3.”
The mission of taking over the government required him to eliminate Lao Ai and seize Lu Buwei's power, and today, he had completed it once and for all.
Although the two forces were intertwined, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
The two of them already had no chance to turn the tables.
Therefore, the mission was completed and he received three lottery chances.
Apart from that, Ying Zheng had gained ten thousand origin points by killing the assassins from the Network.
According to the system, there were many ways to obtain origin points. In the end, it could be summarized as destruction and conquest.
Destroying life, destroying civilization, destroying the world…
Conquering living beings, conquering civilizations, conquering the world…
Both of them could obtain origin points.
At the same time, according to the difference in life level, ordinary people had 1 point, Pre-Sky warriors had 10 points, Connate warriors had 100 points, and Grandmaster warriors had 1000 points.
As for the martial grandmaster, it was 10000 points.
This time, he had obtained 10,000 origin points by killing the net assassins under Lao Ai's command.
When Lao Ai died, he would also earn 10,000 origin points.
After that, he would clean up the remnants of Lao Ai and Lu Buwei's forces, and the number of origin points would continue to increase.
Origin points were used to purchase items from the system store.
Currently, in the system store, only the Black Ice Guard's military type card could be purchased.
Each military type card cost 15000 origin points.
It was quite cost-effective.
However…
"System, use up those three lottery chances.”
Ying Zheng set his eyes on the Heavens Roulette.
The non-unique items obtained from the Heavenly Roulette would be recorded in the system store.
Now that Ying Zheng no longer lacked manpower, he wanted to see if he could get something useful from this lucky draw.
"Lucky draw ticket used successfully."
"Congratulations to user for obtaining the Character Card Ye Gucheng.”
Character: Ye Gucheng
Source: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng
[Cultivation: Grandmaster pinnacle (Internal Invulnerability Realm)]
[Cultivation Method: White Cloud Sword Technique]
[Title: White Cloud City Lord, Sword Saint]
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the four great inventions of ancient China.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten thousand stones of refined grain.”
[Item: 10,000 Stones of Refined Grain has been added to the System Store.]
"White Cloud City Lord Ye Gucheng, it's better than nothing.”
"The four great inventions are very useful."
"As for the ten thousand picul grain, it can't be considered useful anymore. It's simply a stroke of genius.”
Ten thousand piculs of refined grain was enough to feed ten thousand people for a month.
The exchange value of 10,000 stones of refined grain in the system store was only 100 origin points.
Killing a Xiantian warrior would be enough to feed ten thousand people for a month.
It was a bloody profit.
"This way, we can change our plans for the Six Nations.”
"Ten years? Perhaps it won't take that long."
In the chariot, Ying Zheng's eyes were deep and profound as he began to plan in his heart.
……
At the same time, outside Xianyang Palace.
"Ah…"
"Kill me, I beg you…"
"Give me a quick death."
Lu Buwei had just walked out of Xianyang Palace when he heard a series of miserable wails.
When he looked up, his face instantly turned pale.
In front of the palace gate, Lao Ai was tied to a wooden stake, with his limbs spread out and his body covered in blood.
In front of him was a Black Ice Guard wearing a black mask, holding a knife as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand. He slashed across Lao Ai's body like a bolt of lightning.
Then, a thin piece of meat fell off Lao Ai's body, and was placed on a tray by the Black Ice Guard.
At this moment, there were three rows of meat slices neatly placed on the tray. They were as thin as cicada wings and were crystal clear.
With every slash, the tendons and blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen. There was even blood surging on them.
On the ground, bright red blood flowed all over the ground like a small river, soaking the soil until it was black and red.
Lu Buwei's hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, trembled slightly.
This scene was too terrifying.
He had been in power for so many years, and there were at least 800 people who had died in his hands.
However, the moment he saw the scene in front of him, he still felt uncomfortable.
He was already used to killing people, but this Killing technique was truly terrifying.
"Your Majesty…"
Seeing Lao Ai's fate, Lu Buwei's fear of Ying Zheng was growing deeper and deeper.
He didn't dare to imagine that he would end up like this…
Lu Buwei felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it. He didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he quickly got into the carriage and left.
After Lu Buwei, all the officials rushed out. Seeing this scene, none of them dared to stay.
From this day forth, Ying Zheng was no longer a nameless puppet in their hearts, but a majestic king of a generation.
The fear of the King of Qin would be deeply rooted in their souls, and they would not dare to forget it.
