My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1185: Zhou Buchan Bi, Li Buli Bi, but it was given by heaven! Ying Le: Superstitious thoughts are not good!
The eyes of Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and all the other Qin emperors and ministers were focused on Ying Le.

Although almost all the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty were destroyed by Qin, only Wei State remained, but it had lost all its territory and its monarch became a vassal of Qin.

Although the current Qin Dynasty has taken over all the territories of the Zhou Dynasty, its territory is even larger than that of the Zhou Dynasty.

Although everyone in the world knows that the current Qin Dynasty has actually replaced the Zhou Dynasty and rules the world.

However, there is no etiquette or justice that indicates that as long as one can sweep away the vassal states of the previous dynasty and take over all the territory of the previous dynasty, one can replace the country of the previous dynasty!
Therefore, even though the Qin State had actually replaced the Zhou Dynasty, it was still not the Qin Dynasty, but only one of the only two vassal states of the Zhou emperor - the Qin State!
Did Ying Zheng desire to go one step further and be promoted from King of Qin to Emperor?

Of course he wanted to!
Do the ministers desire to go one step further and be promoted from princes to kings?

They are more eager!

But unless there is really no other way, the ruler and his ministers of the Qin Dynasty cannot openly say such a simple and self-evident truth that as long as they can take over all the territory of the previous dynasty, they can replace the previous dynasty.

The emperor is the shepherd of the people on behalf of heaven. The emperor's power comes from heaven, and the princes' power comes from the emperor. Therefore, ordinary people cannot usurp the power and status of the emperor and the princes through means outside the rules, because heaven will not allow it!
These are the rules of the game jointly formulated by generations of rulers over the past thousands of years, and are also the art of controlling the people that has been consolidated by generations of rulers.

Even the idea of ​​"Kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all born with different blood types" that Yao Jia promoted in Chu was to tell the people of Chu that no matter what your background was, as long as you made contributions to the Qin Dynasty, you could be granted a title of prince and a general in the Qin Dynasty. This was also within the scope of the rules, instead of telling the people of Chu to occupy the mountains and become kings, or call themselves the Son of Heaven!
Once the Qin Dynasty freed the people of the world from the ideological shackles that had lasted for thousands of years, and let them realize that to be an emperor one did not need the approval of heaven at all, and all one needed to do was to be good at fighting and destroy the previous dynasty, then the world would be in chaos!
Can you, Ying Zheng, destroy the previous dynasty, unify the world and become the emperor? I, Liu Laosan, can do the same!

Even if the Qin Dynasty said nothing and just held the ceremony and established facts in a forceful manner, it would not work. The people of the world, especially the remnants of various countries, would still not recognize the Qin Dynasty's legitimacy. They could still shout out all kinds of slogans to rebel and restore their country, and they could still gain the support of many survivors of their homeland!

But now, Ying Le has put forward an excellent suggestion for the righteous cause of the court.

The Zhou Dynasty did not abdicate the jade, and the Li Dynasty did not set up the jade, but it was a gift from heaven!
God allowed Ying Zheng to govern the people on his behalf, and sent a dragon from the earth to bestow a jade disk to honor his position!

Facing the burning gazes of the Qin monarch and his ministers, Ying Le spoke with the most assured voice: "That's right!"

"According to my divination, the Earth Dragon has come here to represent the Jade Jade bestowed by Heaven."

"I advise you! When the earth dragon leaves, Your Majesty should order all the ministers to search carefully in the earthquake-affected area, and quickly find the heaven-sent jade and obtain the heaven-granted power!"

The Qin emperor and his ministers all breathed hard, their blood boiled, and their brains swelled.

In the year when all the princes of the Zhou Dynasty either pledged loyalty to the Qin Dynasty or were wiped out by it, Dilong informed the King of Qin early on that he would go to Xianyang City to congratulate on behalf of Heaven and Earth. For the safety of his people, Ying Zheng moved his people away in advance, cleaned up Xianyang City and welcomed Dilong. When Dilong came to congratulate, he brought the Emperor's sacrificial jade on behalf of Heaven and Earth, and granted the King of Qin the right to herd the people on behalf of Heaven!

According to this logic, the time of the fall of the last vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty cannot be false, and it is also true that Ying Zheng moved the people of Xianyang away long before the earth dragon came to Xianyang. It is even more true that the earth dragon turned over the city of Xianyang. Only when the earth dragon came to congratulate and sent the sacrificial jade may not convince the world, but this series of major events occurred in an orderly manner in the same year. Who can say that this is a coincidence? This is God's will!
The rulers and ministers of the Qin Dynasty no longer cared about the etiquette and righteousness of court meetings.

What kind of etiquette can be greater than heaven? What kind of righteousness can be greater than heaven?

No!

God’s will is greatest!
When the heavens and the earth agree, the Great Qin is the well-deserved new dynasty! Ying Zheng is the well-deserved emperor!
The faces of the officials of the Qin Dynasty all turned red, and they all bowed to Ying Zheng and shouted: "Your Majesty, congratulations! Congratulations to the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "I congratulate you, my dear ministers, as well!"

"It is because of all your efforts and hard work that our Great Qin has been able to receive the favor of the Emperor and be given such an important task."

"This is a great joy for the country, and the people of the world should celebrate together!"

As long as the heaven-given jade is found, Daqin can legitimately become the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng can legitimately take the throne of the emperor, and the ministers of Daqin will surely be promoted, and even go down in history along with this huge dynasty!
Wei Zhuang could not wait to look at Ying Le and ask, "Shangqing Ying, may I ask what the heaven-given jade looks like?"

"I will immediately send all the servants in the mansion to search for him!"

Wei Zhuang's words caused all the Qin officials to look at Ying Le, but this made Ying Le complain wildly in his heart.

Am I saying this so that you can ask me what the God-given jade looks like?

How would I know what the God-given jade looks like!

I only know that this earthquake is very powerful. According to the data left by the Qin Fengchang of all dynasties, Lantian County is bound to be within the scope of this earthquake, and it is well known that Lantian is rich in beautiful jade.

So isn't the next thing to do simple? Send someone to the Lantian Jade Mine to find a piece of beautiful jade!

What? You said that jade wasn't a gift from heaven?
I bother!

If you have the guts, ask Heaven and Earth to come out and confront me face to face!
Now is the time to talk about governing the country, don’t talk to me about superstition!

But Ying Le still pretended to be helpless and shook his head: "This is God's will. I am not talented enough and it is rare for God to open my wisdom. How can I know what the God-given jade looks like?"

"Moreover, if a treasure does not meet its destined person, it will be covered in dust and not show its beauty. In our eyes, this gift from heaven may just be a piece of stone or a piece of jade."

Ying Le bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "But, Your Majesty is the ruler chosen by the Heaven and Earth. The Heaven-Given Jade was originally given to Your Majesty by the Heaven and Earth." "When Your Majesty sees the Heaven-Given Jade in person, you will surely be touched. No matter what the Heaven-Given Jade looks like, Your Majesty will definitely recognize it. Then, you can hand it over to skilled craftsmen to sharpen and carve it according to the shape that Your Majesty feels. Then, the Heaven-Given Jade will shine brightly and bless our Great Qin!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang and other Qin ministers nodded thoughtfully.

That’s right. That is the national treasure bestowed upon the king by the Heaven and Earth. I’m afraid that even if it is placed in front of us, we would find it difficult to recognize it. Only the king, who is granted the power to herd the people by the Heaven and Earth, can feel it and recognize the treasure!
But if Ying Chengjiao were here, his feelings about Ying Le's words would definitely be completely different from those of the Qin ministers.

My king, don't be too obsessed with treasure hunting. You can just pick up a piece of jade and let the craftsmen chisel it. It will be fine as long as it is acceptable. Anyway, ordinary people can't see this sacrificial jade. If you say it is a sacrificial jade, then it is a sacrificial jade!

It’s a pity that Ying Chengjiao, the only person who understands Ying Le, is not in the court.

After hearing what Ying Le said, Ying Zheng not only did not relax, but paced back and forth more nervously.

If the great cause of the Qin Dynasty to replace the Zhou Dynasty stops at the step of finding the jade gift from heaven, how can I explain to my ancestors! How can I explain to the dead soldiers! How can I explain to my brother!

That’s right, brother!
Ying Zheng stopped and said in a broken voice, "Pass on my order!"

"Order all people in Neishi County, regardless of their status, to search for the Heaven-Given Jade. Anyone who sees a mysterious object that could be the Heaven-Given Jade must hand it over to the court. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"

"If the gift is not a gift from heaven, it shall be returned in its original form."

"If the gift they offer is indeed a gift from heaven, those without titles will be promoted to the rank of Fifth Grand Officer, and those with titles will be rewarded even more generously!"

"Send a message to my brother, I order him to start his return journey within two, no, three months after receiving the order, and return to Xianyang as soon as possible!"

"Order General Jian to rush to the front line in one month. If you fail to end this battle within three months, you will take command of the army and continue the battle according to your strategy!"

Wang Jian could no longer hold back his anger and said with a sad face, "Your Majesty! I am too old to be of any use, and there has been a disturbance in Xianyang. I should stay in Xianyang City to suppress the rebellion!"

I thought I would have nothing to do next, but why did they send me out again for no reason?
No!
I don't want to take credit anymore!

My son Wang Ben is now leading a small army to conquer the Southern Barbarians in the east, and I and my son are commanding a million-strong army stationed in the northeast. This is a definite sign of our family's demise!

But Wei Zhuang's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

"It may be difficult for others to find the jade gift from heaven, but Chang'an Jun is deeply favored by the emperor, and Chang'an Jun will definitely be able to find the jade gift from heaven!"

"If we can summon Lord Chang'an back to the court, then our Great Qin will be able to find this jade quickly!"

Lu Buwei immediately cupped his hands and said, "I second the motion!"

"Chang'an Jun has conquered all the countries in the world, and has also destroyed the Xiongnu bandits to ensure that the northern border of our Great Qin is safe. The Donghu barbarians are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with our Great Qin. Our Great Qin should put our country first, suspend the war against the Donghu, and summon Chang'an Jun back to the court to find the jade!"

Ying Le also bowed and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Lord Chang'an is a living god and the king's brother."

"It is not only more secure to have Chang'an Jun find and identify the jade, but it can also be passed down as a good story, and it will make people in the world dare not speak nonsense!"

"Therefore, I second the motion!"

Wei Zhuang, Lu Buwei and Ying Le thought from three perspectives, but they all agreed with Ying Zheng's idea that Ying Chengjiao should be recalled to the court.

We can destroy Donghu at any time. It will be more beneficial to Daqin if we cannot destroy Donghu this year.

But this is the only chance to establish the legitimacy of the Qin Dynasty!
If Ying Chengjiao, the leader of the great witches and a true god in the world, could personally confirm that the jade disk was the one for sacrifice, not only would it reassure Ying Zheng and his ministers, it would also make people all over the world believe that the jade disk was a gift from heaven, and it would make the Qin Empire's heaven-granted country even more sacred!
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What you said, my dear ministers, is exactly what I think!"

"My brother, you must return to the court!"

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian earnestly and said, "My brother, you have too many troops under your command. If it weren't for General Wang personally taking charge, I really don't know who else can lead them!"

"In this battle, I do not ask the general to destroy the Donghu. I only ask the general to stabilize the chaos caused by the hasty return of my brother and the replacement of generals in the army, and then be on guard against the invasion of the Donghu. As long as you can stabilize the territory conquered by my brother, I will regard you as a great general..."

Seeing that Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei, Wei Zhuang and other kings and ministers reached an agreement without hesitation, Wang Jian knew that he could not refuse this job.

So before Ying Zheng could even finish his words, Wang Jian said, "This is a matter of great importance to the country of Qin. How can I retreat even a single step?!"

"I will prepare now and set off in a month to help Lord Chang'an return triumphantly!"
