Chapter 92: The Emperor Arrives! Ying Zheng Strongly Announces His Personal Reign! "I will definitely live up to the expectations of our ancestors." The disciples in the ancestral land bowed to Qin Ying one after another. Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the ancestral land is so abundant that it is enough to increase the cultivation speed of all disciples in the ancestral land several times or even higher. later. There will be a surge in the number of warriors above the level of Grandmaster. Martial artists at the level of supernatural powers will also emerge in large numbers. One is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, two is the practice method, and three is the panacea. There is no shortage of these ancestral lands. After placing the spiritual vein. Qin Ying took a glance.
"The power of deduction can still allow me to practice for a period of time." "Let's go see how Afang is doing first." "That girl Afang is fine, so she will go back to her ancestral land to meditate." Qin Ying thought. The Chaos Pearl was activated, and a chaotic force instantly enveloped Qin Ying's whole body. Even though Qin Ying could be seen with the naked eye, he could not perceive it. Qin Ying immediately broke through the air. Feeling the direction of Xia Yufang, after all, he had the jade pendant refined by Qin Ying, so he naturally knew the direction. Time flies! The next day! The Great Palace! The court meeting begins. After all the officials entered the palace to meet the emperor. Ren Xiao gave an order: "Control the Royal Guards and seal off the palace." "promise." All the generals said in unison. The Guards, which were then under their control, took quick action. The Great Palace. The Queen Mother is in power. The regent was in court.
Of course. The throne was still empty. But for that. The officials have gotten used to it. After the incident in the palace more than half a month ago, Just when all the officials thought that Ying Zheng would still not attend the court. "The king has arrived." A scream echoed throughout the palace. All the ministers looked outside the hall. Ying Zheng wore a robe and a crown with tassels on his head and the King of Qin's sword at his waist. The young man's handsome face, youthful and majestic, reveals the kingly aura of the King of Qin. From temperament. There seems to be a big difference between Ying Zheng half a month ago and Ying Zheng today. "My king, it seems that you have changed." Lu Buwei stared at Ying Zheng. He had been prime minister for many years and had the ability to observe people's words and expressions. With just one glance, he felt the change in Ying Zheng. All the civil and military officials in the court watched Ying Zheng walk step by step into the main hall of the Great Palace. No one knew that today would bring a real reshuffle. "Your Majesty, I welcome you." Lu Buwei immediately bowed to Ying Zheng. After hearing what Lu Buwei said, all the civil and military officials in the court came back to their senses. "I respectfully welcome your Majesty." All the civil and military officials in the court bowed and paid homage. Of course. Ying Zheng ignored him, raised his eyes to look at the throne of Qin, and walked towards this position step by step. even. He didn't even glance at Zhao Ji who was sitting next to the throne. "Zheng'er." "He bears a grudge against me." Zhao Ji felt bitter in her heart. Over the past half month, she had wanted to see Ying Zheng many times, but was rejected every time. And Ying Zheng, who was in power today, seemed to have changed. His temperament and expression had changed. He became extremely cold, as if he was truly a lonely man.
In the sight of all the ministers. Ying Zheng turned around and slowly sat on the throne. After a while. Ying Zheng slowly spoke: "Stand up." His tone was cold, but there was authority in his voice. "Thank you, Your Majesty." All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison. "If you have the foundation to play, you will retreat from the court without the foundation." Zhao Gao, who was serving on the side, shouted loudly. "Start the memorial, Your Majesty." "The Guanzhong area has suffered from a severe drought and the rice harvest has been terrible. The people are suffering terribly and are in urgent need of relief." Lu Buwei stood up and said loudly. Ying Zheng hasn't spoken yet. "Does the Prime Minister have any plan to deal with this matter?" Zhao Ji spoke. "We can allocate food and fodder from various counties to help Guanzhong get through this difficult time." "Of course, this can only solve the problem temporarily, and it cannot solve the problem of water shortage in Guanzhong." Lu Buwei said. "Then let's provide relief first." Zhao Ji didn't think too much about it. "Father Zhong, how can we solve the problem of water shortage in Guanzhong?" Ying Zheng spoke, staring at Lu Buwei and asked. Lü Buwei was not surprised by Ying Zheng's question, and then he said, "The only way is to divert water into Guanzhong. If we dig a large canal to divert water into Guanzhong, there will be countless fertile fields in Guanzhong that can be irrigated. Guanzhong will become the granary of our Great Qin, surpassing the output of Shu, and our Great Qin will no longer have to worry about food shortages." "Short-term relief needed." "It is also necessary to completely resolve the threat in Guanzhong." "Father Zhong." "Issue a recruitment order throughout the world. Anyone with talent, a skill, or even someone who is good at water conservancy can join our Great Qin, and we will treat them well." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice. "Your Majesty is wise." Lu Buwei responded immediately. Upon hearing the recruitment order, his eyes lit up. But at the moment. Ying Wen stood up. "Your Majesty." "The order to recruit talented people is absolutely not allowed." Ying Wen objected with a firm attitude.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and asked coldly, "Why not?" "The world is divided into many countries. If people from these countries enter our Great Qin, they will have different thoughts. If people from these countries are allowed to hold high positions in our Great Qin, there will be chaos." "Our Great Qin is vast and rich in resources, with a wealth of talented people. There are even more outstanding people in our clans who are capable of taking on great responsibilities." "There won't be any chaos." Ying Wen said immediately. "If you put it that way." "The great generals and prime ministers of our Great Qin were all foreigners. So the achievements they made for our Great Qin were all false?" "Are they not trustworthy either?" Ying Zheng said in a cold tone. "I have absolutely no intention of doing so." Ying Wen felt a panic in his heart. There are many foreign visitors from Daqin. Lu Buwei can also be considered one. Meng Ao is also one of them. Zhang Yi and Bai Qi of the past, if you count strictly, they were both. Their descendants are still in this court. As Ying Zheng finished speaking, many ministers looked at Ying Wen with unfriendly eyes. "Why is the king so sharp-tongued today?" Ying Wen cursed in his heart. But he didn't dare show it openly. "Father Zhong." "In the name of the Great Qin, we are issuing a call for talented people." "I want to gather the world's talents into the Qin Dynasty and give them the opportunity to realize their ambitions." Ying Zheng said with an unquestionable tone. Lu Buwei nodded respectfully, but his eyes turned to Zhao Ji: "I wonder what the Queen Mother means?" At this moment, Zhao Ji naturally felt Ying Zheng's determination. Of course I won't object. "The king has already said it, how can I object?" "Approved." Zhao Ji said immediately. "I obey the imperial edict." Only then did Lu Buwei withdraw. After all, the royal seal is now in Zhao Ji's hands. Even if Ying Zheng asks for it, he needs the royal seal to grant it. The Qin Empire recognizes the king's seal.
The imperial edict must be stamped with the royal seal to have the power of royal authority. The court meeting continued. Compared to the past few months when Ying Zheng basically did not speak during the court session, today, Ying Zheng spoke every time he made a request, mainly expressing his opinions. Although there were only the voices of ministers speaking in the court. But every minister has a clear mind like a mirror. Everyone felt that Ying Zheng had not attended court for half a month, and the situation had changed so much. "The king seems to have really changed." "I haven't been to court for half a month. Today I will show my kingly demeanor." "The palace was in turmoil, and the king's beloved was killed. Is this true?" "Who did it?" …… Many of the court officials were speculating, and except for a few people, the news of the palace change had not spread too widely. After all, this is not a glorious thing. But no matter how secretive it was, the news gradually leaked out, and naturally most of the court knew about it. They all knew that Miss Xia, whom the king regarded as his wife, had been murdered. This may also be the root cause of the king's sudden change in character. at last. The court's discussion of state affairs came to an end. Ying Wen stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please report this." "Now that Your Majesty has been on the throne for nearly half a year, there are no women serving in the harem. I have discussed with the Queen Mother and have selected some girls from prominent families with noble bloodlines for Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty nods, these girls can be summoned into the palace today." Ying Wen said loudly. The words fell. Zhao Ji's gaze also fell on Ying Zheng. "Zheng'er." "As a king, the ruler of a country, the continuation of your bloodline is also the foundation." Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said tentatively. Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji calmly, then looked at Ying Wen in the hall. There was no ripple on the surface, but the heart was already filled with coldness. If the previous abduction of Afang was just speculation that it was done by his mother and Ying Wen, then it can be confirmed now. "I have the final say over my own affairs."
"There is no need for the Queen Mother and the Yingqing family to worry about it." Ying Zheng spoke slowly, his voice cold and distant. The expressions of Zhao Ji and Ying Wen both changed. Ying Wen bowed immediately and wanted to speak. But Ying Zheng waved his hand. He slowly stood up from the throne. A silent pressure instantly swept through the court. This is not the pressure from martial arts, but the almost materialized pressure from a king. The king is here. Good fortune for the country. Even a grandmaster would be suppressed under the pressure of this king. Moreover, after Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he was also protected by the national destiny and it was difficult to hurt him even the grandmaster. Under this pressure. The expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed slightly. "I have something to tell my mother and all the officials." Ying Zheng said slowly, his eyes full of pressure and a look of unquestionable power: "From today on, the royal seal will be held by me." "I, the widower, will take charge of the government ahead of time!" The words fell. Everyone in the court changed their expressions. No one had expected Ying Zheng to say this. "Zheng'er, do you know what you are saying?" Zhao Ji's face changed, and she was even a little panicked. "How could I not know?" Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhao Ji coldly. "Then you know." "This royal seal was entrusted to me by your father. I will give it to you after you reach adulthood and are crowned." "Why are you talking such nonsense today? Are you going to disobey your father's will?" Zhao Ji asked with a grim expression. Hear this. Ying Zheng's heart sank even more. My mother has really changed. She is completely different from the mother she was in Handan. Now she is actually greedy for the power in her hands.
It is clear. Ying Zheng saw through his mother's thoughts. And indeed it is. Over the past half year, she has been in charge of the royal seal, and many important matters of the court have required her to personally stamp the royal seal to handle them. She is like a king, and she is completely intoxicated by the power. "really." "Except for the teacher and Afang, everyone else has changed." "Even my mother has changed." Seeing Zhao Ji like this, Ying Zheng no longer had any hesitation in his heart, only the decisiveness of a king. "Does the Queen Mother still know about the will of the King?" Ying Zheng sneered. "I already know the will." "Why didn't you listen to what my father told you not to stop me from marrying Afang?" "I already know the will." "Then do you know why you stopped my father from issuing an edict to marry Afang to me?" Ying Zheng asked coldly. The indifference in the voice made Zhao Ji, who was sitting upright, feel a piercing chill. “This palace…This palace…” Faced with Ying Zheng's questioning, Zhao Ji didn't know what to say. This time! Ying Wen couldn't stand anymore. If Ying Zheng were allowed to take over the royal seal in advance, it would not be a good thing for him. He also wanted to use the power of assisting the government to gain benefits for himself and the royal family. "Your Majesty." "You are overstepping your bounds." "Don't be rude to the Queen Mother." "The royal seal was given to the Queen Mother by the late king for safekeeping. It can only be returned when the King comes of age." "Please revoke your order immediately, Your Majesty." Ying Wen said seriously. As he finished speaking. He also gave a wink to his followers.
Suddenly. Dozens of ministers stood up. "I ask Your Majesty to abide by the will of the previous king and take the royal seal after you are crowned." "Please think twice, Your Majesty." Dozens of ministers shouted in unison. Regarding the actions of these court officials. Ying Zheng glanced at them with an indifferent expression, as if he wanted to remember them all in his heart. Of course. Face their persecution. Ying Zheng did not retreat at all. "Daqin..." Ying Zheng said coldly, and paused. next moment. Whoosh. Ying Zheng directly drew the Qin King's sword from his waist and pointed it at the court. As the sword came out. Tapping. Tapping. The sound of weapons clashing and hurried footsteps swept over. It seemed that countless troops had surrounded the Dachao Palace. "what happened?" "Why are the soldiers moving?" Many ministers looked outside the hall. Ren Xiong was seen holding a bloody head, and behind him were many guards, each of them holding a bloody head in their hands. All the officials looked at each other in fear. He strode towards the palace. When we arrived in the main hall. Ren Xiong threw the head in his hand directly to the ground. The many guards behind him did the same. Suddenly.
A dozen bloody heads piled up in the center of the hall. See this scene. Many court officials' faces changed drastically. Especially Ying Wen. Because among these heads were several of his trusted confidants whom he had planted in the Imperial Guards. "Start the memorial, Your Majesty." "I am commanding the Royal Guards by order of the King. The 4th and 50th thousandth generals did not obey the King's orders, along with a number of subordinates. I will punish them for insubordination." "Please make your decision, Your Majesty." Ren Xiong bowed. "Please make your decision, Your Majesty." The many guards behind him bowed one after another. "If you don't obey the king's orders, you should be killed." Ying Zheng glanced at him and said coldly. Looking at these bloody heads, Ying Zheng remained calm. "There won't be another Queen Dowager Xuan!" Ying Zheng's voice rose again. As soon as these words fell. The expressions of the civil and military officials in the court changed again. Only Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with an expectant expression, which showed surprise, relief, and even excitement. In the past half year. Only Lu Buwei knew clearly that after Zhao Ji took the throne, she was indecisive on many things and listened to others' opinions on many things, which had a great impact. Now Zhao Ji also enjoyed the power of the royal seal, but she did not have the ability and courage that Queen Dowager Xuan had. Today, Ying Zheng's display of military power has fully demonstrated his attitude. 'Zheng'er.' "You, are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?" Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression. "I am the king of the Qin Dynasty." "How can you talk about forcing the emperor to abdicate?"
"My mother's actions really disappoint me." "now." "I ask my mother to hand over the royal seal and retire to Ganquan Palace." talking. Ying Zheng turned around and bowed to Zhao Ji. As Ying Zheng finished speaking. Ren Xiong immediately shouted: "Please ask the Queen Mother to hand over the royal seal and retreat to Ganquan Palace." The sound spread. Countless guards shouted in unison: "Queen Mother, please hand over the royal seal and retreat to Ganquan Palace!" Tens of thousands of guards shouted loudly, covering the entire Qin Palace. Under this kind of coercion. Zhao Ji's face also turned pale. Those court officials who stood up against Ying Zheng also became uneasy. This time! Lu Buwei stood up. "Your Majesty has the qualities of a king and can make Qin strong and powerful." "Please ask the Queen Mother to hand over the royal seal and retreat to Ganquan Palace." Lu Buwei said loudly. As Lu Buwei stood up. The court officials promoted by Lu Buwei also stood up one after another. There were also military and civil officials who were impressed by Ying Zheng's courage and ability and stood up. "I second the proposal." Almost all the ministers in the court shouted loudly. Today's situation. How could the savvy people in the court not understand it? Under this kind of coercion. Zhao Ji's face turned blue and then pale. Looking at Ying Zheng's cold expression, he no longer had any childishness towards her. "Ugh."
“Maybe I really did something wrong.” Zhao Ji sighed in her heart. She understood that by taking action against Afang, she had violated the biggest taboo in Ying Zheng's heart. Think of this. Zhao Ji looked at the box containing the royal seal on the table. Pick it up. Slowly stood up. "Zheng'er." "You've grown up." "Mom really shouldn't care too much." "You are indeed qualified to hold the king's seal." In this situation. Zhao Ji naturally understood that she had to hand over the royal seal today. Besides, Ying Zheng was her only son, so how could she go too far and give others something to blame? "All officials witnessed it." "Today, I voluntarily hand over the royal seal, and Your Majesty will take charge of the country ahead of schedule." "I hope the two regents will help the king to make Qin strong and prosperous." Zhao Ji raised the royal seal in her hand and announced loudly. See this. Ying Wen's heart sank: "This woman is really stupid. If she insists on doing this, Ying Zheng won't dare to snatch her away." Looking at Zhao Ji's statement and the royal seal she handed over. Ying Zheng also felt relieved in his heart. At least, his mother still took the overall situation into consideration and did not go too far. "Thank you, mother." Ying Zheng took the royal seal directly, then took it out, holding it in his left hand and the Sword of Qin in his right hand. He shouted in a mighty voice: "Today, I hold the seal of the King of Qin and take charge of the government ahead of schedule." "I congratulate you, Your Majesty." "May the king live forever, and the Qin Dynasty prosper forever." All the civil and military officials in the court shouted loudly. now. The situation is determined.
The king's seal is in hand. The imperial edicts and the excessive power were completely in the hands of Ying Zheng. Thereafter. Even though Ying Zheng has only been on the throne for less than half a year, today he has successfully grasped the royal power that belongs to him! …… (End of this chapter)
