Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 219: The supervisor who no one is capable of doing, visits the eldest prince’s house at night, talks under the moon, and Fusu comes out of confinement!
The director of the Imperial Observatory?

Ying Xuan sat on the dragon throne with a thoughtful look on his face, thinking of the old man on the bridge whom Fusu had mentioned to him before, who was also the Huangshi Gong who left countless mysterious deeds in history.

"I discussed the position of the director of the Imperial Observatory with Prime Minister Fusu before, and mentioned Huang Shigong. Does Prime Minister Feng think this person might be qualified for the position?"

As soon as the words fell, all the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked. They looked up and looked at Ying Xuan in surprise and doubt.

Of course, there were also people who looked puzzled, obviously not knowing who Huang Shi Gong was.

After all, he was already a veteran of the three dynasties of the Qin Dynasty when the First Emperor was still alive.

Most of the officials standing in the hall now do not know who Huang Shigong is.

But Feng Quji was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the head of all officials. He had served in the same court with Huang Shigong in the past, so it was natural that he could not have been unaware of it.

"Your Majesty, if Huang Shigong is willing to come out of seclusion, he can certainly be the director of the Imperial Observatory." Feng Quji raised his hand and bowed, then slowly said, "Huang Shigong has extraordinary cultivation and is good at observing celestial phenomena and changes in fortune. He is the most suitable person to be the director."

"However, Mr. Huang Shi has long since retired to the mountains. If we want to find him, it may not be easy."

In the past, Huang Shi Gong was determined by King Zhuangxiang of Qin to gamble the destiny of the Qin Dynasty to condense a guardian beast to protect the Qin Dynasty and prolong it for eternity.

After the First Emperor ascended the throne, Huang Shigong was amazed at his talent and aptitude. He could not bear to see him waste his talents and be defeated by the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

As a result, the First Emperor also insisted on his own way, which made Huang Shigong so angry that he resigned from his post and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Now, times have changed, the Qin Dynasty has unified the nine provinces, and the destiny of the country has been elevated to the utmost in the hands of Ying Xuan, the Second Emperor of Qin, reaching the situation that the Seventh Emperor of Qin had imagined.

But the First Emperor had already passed away, and Jiuzhou was once again facing turmoil, so it seemed reasonable to let Huang Shigong come out again.

The only thing that worries Ying Xuan is... he is worried that Huangshi Gong might be the incarnation of some powerful being like the Taoist saint Lao Tzu.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and is even extremely rare. Otherwise, even if the three realms are very deep, where would so many powerful people with extraordinary powers come from?
"I remember that I had sent people to investigate the place where Mr. Huangshi lived in seclusion. Didn't any news come back?"

Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows. He remembered that when he first heard this name from Fusu, he ordered people to investigate Huang Shigong's secluded place, Dipi. He had intended to stop by and take a look after returning from his tour.

As a result, he did not expect that the gains from this trip were far beyond his imagination, so much so that Ying Xuan completely forgot about the matter.

"In reply to your Majesty, we have sent eleven waves of spies to Xia Pi, but they all returned empty-handed. It seems that Lord Huang Shi is no longer in Xia Pi." The Minister of Rites, who was in charge of relations with other countries among the Nine Ministers, stood up and said respectfully.

He was equivalent to a diplomat of the Qin Dynasty, and all external affairs were conveyed through him.

This also includes going deep into the mountains and forests to search for immortal masters.

"Not in Xia Pi anymore?" Ying Xuan frowned and became suspicious again.

The origin of this Huangshi Gong is too mysterious... If he is really the incarnation of some powerful person, I am afraid it will be difficult to bring him into the court.

After all, although the court is now in a clear and bright state, Ying Xuan had been planning this for who knows how long.

If he were to let the wolf in again now, and let him in with his own hands...it would be too ridiculous.

"The selection of the chief inspector will be put on hold for now. I will think about it and start the operation of the Imperial Observatory first!"

Ying Xuan sat on the dragon chair, his face showing a thoughtful look, and slowly said: "The first task is to monitor Sanchuan County and the west. I need to know the changes in the fortunes of my Great Qin!"

To put it bluntly, the Imperial Observatory is a tool for observing the changes in the fortunes of the Qin Dynasty. Once the fortunes change, it means that there are new variables in the dispute over the Nine Provinces.

At that time, Ying Xuan will also need to make a new move.

"We obey your order!" Feng Quji and other officials bowed and then continued to discuss government affairs under the supervision of Ying Xuan.

The Great Qin Dynasty ruled over the nine provinces and thirty-six counties. Only Sanchuan County and the western border town were a small accident that occurred in the daily operation of this huge dynasty.

It can't even occupy the whole, let alone shake the rule of the entire dynasty.

However, the war in Sanchuan County and the west was just the prelude to the turmoil in the Kyushu dispute.

As time goes by, this turbulent war will inevitably spread across the entire Kyushu like a prairie fire.

……

With the approval of the establishment of the Imperial Observatory at the court meeting, the news spread throughout Xianyang City, and almost everyone knew about the existence of the Imperial Observatory.

However, most people don’t know what the Imperial Observatory can do. They only know that it is an existence that monitors the destiny of the Qin Dynasty.

This kind of existence did exist in the human dynasties and imperial dynasties in the past, but it was rare for them to cause such a big commotion.

For a moment, all the philosophers and schools of thought could not help but cast their gazes.

After all, the Imperial Observatory absorbed disciples from the Yin-Yang School, which was extremely rare in the Qin Dynasty, as it actively absorbed disciples from various schools of thought into the court.

For this reason, many practitioners from various schools of thought, who had previously been skeptical about the court, are now gradually taking the initiative to contact the court.

In the dark, it seemed as if there was a layer of invisible barrier that was gradually melting away.

……

Late at night, at the eldest prince’s mansion.

A carriage quietly left Xianyang City, arrived in front of the mansion gate, and slowly stopped.

The curtain was opened, and Ying Xuan, dressed in casual clothes, stepped down from the carriage. He walked straight to the front of the mansion and looked at the plaque that read "The Mansion of the Eldest Prince". He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This was his first time to come to Fusu's mansion.

Because as far as he could remember, Fusu had gone north since he became an adult, fighting against the northern barbarians and demons, and was not in Xianyang City for most of the year.

Among the many princes and princesses of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu was the most elusive.

"Open the door." Ying Xuan said lightly.

Zhao Cheng, who had been following him all the time, went forward and knocked on the door of the mansion upon hearing what he said. He then stood guard outside the door and did not go in with Ying Xuan.

Tonight, Ying Xuan's travel is an extremely secret matter.

Even in the Xianyang Palace, the only person who knew about it was him, the imperial eunuch.

As for why...it was naturally to avoid the former Queen of Great Chu who was causing trouble in the harem!
Because Fusu was in seclusion, the entire eldest prince's mansion was empty, without even a servant.

Ying Xuan walked into the mansion and went straight to the deep courtyard. He looked up and saw the eldest son sitting cross-legged under the moon with his eyes closed. He nodded slightly and said calmly: "Fusu, since you have come out of seclusion, why don't you come to see me?"

The words fell!

The figure that looked like a banished immortal under the moon opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, then stood up and bowed, saying respectfully: "Fusu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
