early the next morning
All the officials were gathered in the court!
Everyone already knew about the major event that had happened last night, so the imperial court was also in a state of panic and discussion.
"Marquis Tong Wu, I heard that you stepped into the Celestial Realm with His Majesty last night and even met an immortal. Is that true?”
"Why did His Majesty immediately order the slaughter of Zhao San's three families after coming out of the Immortal Land? What does that mean?”
"Yes, even the Left Prime Minister was implicated.”
"I heard that more than a hundred Warlocks in the palace and hundreds of survivors of the Six Nations were all killed.”
While the officials were discussing among themselves, Wang Ben remained silent!
No matter what anyone asked, he did not say a word. Everyone was so anxious that they wanted to curse.
After Ying Zheng came to court, all the officials knelt down to welcome him, and the court session officially began.
Ying Zheng swept his gaze across the vast imperial court. Surprisingly, he did not lose his temper, nor did he reprimand anyone, nor did he unleash the storm that everyone had imagined. Instead, he revealed a smile.
"Wang Qing, let's begin!" " Tell us what you saw last night!" Ying Zheng ordered.”
"Wei!"
Wang Ben stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said to the officials,"Milords, last night, the palace was filled with fog and a door of light descended from the sky. I was fortunate enough to follow His Majesty into the immortal realm!”
"Step into the Immortal Realm?"
"What, what's going on?"
All the officials were in an uproar, and all of them had disbelief on their faces!
Obviously, none of them believed in such nonsense. They subconsciously looked at Wang Ben with suspicion, thinking that he was talking nonsense with Ying Zheng.
However, Wang Ben didn't bother to explain further, so he continued,"In the immortal realm, birds sing and flowers bloom. When we see the immortal, we will be rewarded with delicious food and wine!”
"The immortal talked to His Majesty at night by candlelight. He once said that this would be a major event in the Nine Provinces in the next thousands of years and even gave him 100 stones of immortal grain per mu!”
"What is it? Immortal food?"
"100 dan per mu? Are you crazy?"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Tong Wu deceiving the officials is a great crime!”
There was an uproar in the court, and many officials were angrily criticizing him.
However, Ying Zheng waved his hand indifferently to signal everyone to be quiet, and at the same time, he ordered,""Wang Qing, continue!"
"Yes, sir!" Wang Ben cleared his throat and continued,"The immortal once said that Zhao Gao and Li Si would join forces to tamper with the imperial edict in the future. They would even call a deer a horse and openly trample on the imperial power of Great Qin!”
"He even said that the warlocks in the palace are all thieves, and the pills they refine are all poisons!”
"They even said that our Great Qin's southern expedition to the Yue will suffer a great defeat and suffer countless casualties!”
Wang Ben's words caused another uproar.
All the officials looked at him angrily. Fortunately, he did not tell them about the death of the second emperor of Great Qin and Ying Zheng's sudden death on the sand dune. Otherwise, everyone would have beaten him up on the spot.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Tong Wu is spouting nonsense and bewitching the hearts of the people.”
"Traitor, this is a traitor! Wang Ben, don't you dare talk nonsense just because your Wang Family has done a great job!”
"Your Majesty, Marquis Tong Wu has committed a heinous crime and should be executed!”
All the officials started to criticize Wang Ben.
However, what made everyone curious was that Ying Zheng did not get angry at all. Instead, he said calmly,""Wang Qing is not lying. Everything he said is true!”
"What?"
"You're not lying?"
"How, how is this possible?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one had expected this outcome!
What was Ying Zheng doing? How could he say such words?
"I did see an immortal last night, and I did step into the immortal realm. Not only did I get the seed of a hundred piculs of immortal food, but I also saw everything that would happen in the next thousands of years with my own eyes. I saw the scene of the Nine Provinces being plunged into misery!”
"All these crimes are caused by me favoring treacherous officials and being obsessed with longevity. I am very afraid and deeply uneasy!”
"Fortunately, Immortal Master reminded me that nothing has happened yet. I still have a chance to change everything!”
"That's why I tested the medicine on gray rabbits overnight, and eight out of ten rabbits died on the spot, confirming what the immortal master said. These warlocks are all unpardonable!”
"Zhao Gao, this thief, is extremely daring and has committed a heinous crime. He has also been killed by me!”
"I promised the immortal master that I would change all of this and let my Great Qin continue for ten thousand years.”
Ying Zheng's soul-stirring words instantly stunned everyone!
After the officials regained their senses, they knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly,"Your Majesty is wise, and the heavens bless Great Qin!"
At this moment, everyone believed it!
Ying Zheng was clearly reflecting on himself.
This tyrant was stubborn. Who else could make him change so much other than an immortal? Or even reflect on himself in public?
This was definitely the work of an Immortal.
Even though the Celestial had said that Great Qin would face all sorts of disasters and be defeated, now that they knew what the future held, what was there to fear?
Zhao Gao had already been executed, and if His Majesty was willing to do his best, this would be a joyous occasion for Great Qin.
At the same time, everyone looked at Wang Ben with envy!
This guy was too lucky. He could actually follow His Majesty into the immortal realm and even taste the delicacies and wine of the immortal realm. This really made people envious and jealous.
"Last night, I was reminded of the pain!" " I've decided to follow Master Immortal's advice," Ying Zheng continued," and use three strategies to determine the fate of the Great Qin Empire!”
"Three plans? Which three plans?"
"Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"
The officials 'eyes lit up, and they were all interested.
In fact, smart people had long seen through the flaws of the Great Qin Empire. Ying Zheng had suddenly created such a huge formation, and he had even said that it was the Immortal Master's guidance. Everyone wanted to see what kind of ability this Immortal Master had.
"First!" " Temporarily postpone the plan of conquering the Yue in the south," Ying Zheng announced." Transfer all the provisions and soldiers to the north, and prepare to attack the Xiongnu in the north within three months. We will drive the Xiongnu out of the Hetao region!”
"What is it? Delay the southern expedition to Baiyue? Change it to attacking the Xiongnu in the north?"
"Your Majesty, you can't. The Yue can only fight with 50,000 soldiers at most. The Xiongnu have all their people. Why don't you let the weak Yue fight and attack the Xiongnu in the north?”
"We've been preparing for this battle for three years. How can we give up so easily?”
The officials were in an uproar when they heard this!
Tu Sui was even more furious!
