I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 324 Qin, the First Emperor

Seeing that the fighting spirit of the two had not dissipated, Jin Chan smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I'll wait for that day!"

Four months have passed today, and it is time to return to Xianyang.

"Yingtai, Chang'an still needs you for the time being. I will come to pick you up after I am done with this."

Although the Tang Kingdom has surrendered to Qin, there are still many things that need to be handled by Li Yingtai in his former capacity as the King of Tang.

I estimate that it will take about half a year at most.

"No need. I'm used to living in Chang'an. Although I can't go back to Daming Palace, I have already bought a house near Xiangzi Temple. After I'm done with this, I'll take my mother there to settle down. If you miss me, you can come back anytime."

"By the way, as for these two little guys, when they grow up a little bit, I will let them go to Xianyang to find you."

After hearing what Li Yingtai said, Jin Chan thought that she had some concerns and that was why she didn't want to go to Xianyang, so she spoke quickly.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Yingtai again.

"Jin Chan, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not such a hypocritical person. Besides, Xiao Luoyang is also the godmother of Shiwu and Yueliang. I stayed in Chang'an for other reasons."

Li Yingtai only said the first half of the sentence before pulling Jin Chan to the corner of the yard.

"If the Jiufang Heavenly Palace comes back to the world, I will help you stop the Buddhist palace."

Li Yingtai spoke in a low voice and spoke slowly. Although he hid his emotions well, Jin Chan still detected a slight hint of uneasiness in him.

"what is going on?"

Jin Chan frowned and asked seriously.

"Do you still remember what Tang Qianyan said when we were at Xingshan Temple?"

When Li Yingtai mentioned this name, Jin Chan was a little dazed.

It was as if the figure who always loved to nag, always called "Brother Jin", seemingly cynical but caring about the world, appeared beside him again.

"I naturally remember that Buddhism withered, the 'present' fell, and the 'future' took power."

"Yes, just as you thought at that time, I am the fetal body transformed by the future Buddha Nine, and this fetal body will bloom in the Central Desert more than a thousand years later. It is estimated that it coincides with the time you said that the Heavenly Palace will take it away in thirty years."

"How are you sure?"

"A few years ago, I met the Buddha consciousness of the future Buddha. Due to some reasons, I could not leave the territory of Tang for a long time."

As the two of them communicated with each other, a visible haze gathered more and more between Jin Chan's brows.

"Come back to Xianyang with me, now!"

Although Li Yingtai concealed the important details, Jin Chan still vaguely sensed some uneasiness.

"Jin Chan, Jiufang Heavenly Palace is far more terrifying than you and I imagined. This burden is really too heavy. Let me help you share some of it."

Li Yingtai threw himself into Jin Chan's arms, pressed his face against his strong chest, and spoke softly and tenderly.

Having already known the secrets of Jin Chan and Ying Lou, Li Yingtai knew very well that since his man was the king of this world, he would never compromise with Jiufang Tiangong.

Even if it costs my life, I will still try my best to reach that place.

"That's enough. I have my own plans for Jiufang Palace. I don't need you."

Before the last two words were uttered, Li Yingtai closed her eyes, raised her slender neck, and blocked Jin Chan's mouth with her soft lips.

I don’t know how long the gentle sweetness lasted.

Jin Chan slowly opened his eyes and felt a little dizzy.

Look up.

Everything changed before my eyes.

The dark red sky was reflected like blood.

At this time, the city of Chang'an was in ruins and there was no place to stand.

Wild grass, strange rocks, and rotting corpses.

Scattered throughout the vicissitudes of the wilderness.

People hang on dead branches, crows land on the pile of bones.

The sharp and piercing cry echoed for a long time.

The strange temple has a vermilion gate, and hanging with body parts, internal organs, scabbed scalps and black hair.

A pagoda filled with corpses.

A bleeding Buddha statue.

The Arhats in the heavens held the Vajra Pestle and fought each other.

A random attack and a random move.

Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu are not even half as good.

Above the desolate sky.

The eight Bodhisattvas put their hands together, with red eyes, and chanted Buddhist scriptures.

Just one drop of Buddha's tear falling from the mortal world can flood a city.

"Jin Chan, this is the corner of the future that the 'Future Buddha' showed me. If there is only internal strife in the Buddhist sect, the Central Plains will become a bloody hell. A million-strong army of Bodhisattvas can destroy it in a blink of an eye."

Hearing a voice, Jin Chan turned his head to look.

About a hundred meters behind me, the dead Buddhist monks, arhats, gatekeepers and vajra were piled up into a pointed mountain.

On the top of the mountain, a golden corpse with flesh and skin tightly grasped Li Yingtai's calf.

After a corner of the future has faded away.

Jin Chan returned to Luo's house in Chang'an City.

"Don't worry, I will be fine. After the Central Plains is free of immortals, I will watch Shiwu and Yueyue grow up and get married with you, and watch their children continue to grow up and get married."

A few meters away, the two little ones didn't understand why their mother, who was always strict and stern in the court, had such a sad expression on her face.

I don’t understand, even the most powerful father in the world seems to be feeling a little bitter.

"I'll accompany you then."

Jin Chan said.

After playing with Shiwu and Yueyue for a while, Jinchan and Xiao Luoyang rode on the white dragon horse.

It takes about one stick of incense time.

The two returned to Xianyang City, which they had been away from for a long time.

"Master, Miss!"

In the empty Jin Mansion, a few scattered servants were sweeping clumps of willow catkins on the ground.

Butler Wu, who was already old, looked even older after not having seen him for many years. Even his waist seemed unable to remain straight.

"Hurry, go and prepare the meal. The master and the young lady want to eat."

The deserted courtyard became a little warmer after Jin Chan and Xiao Luoyang came back.

"Has she already told you about Yingtai's matter?"

"Yes, I talked about it a few days ago."

night.

Jin Chan and Xiao Luoyang were brewing tea and sitting in the yard, listening to the chirping of cicadas and birds and chatting in the warm night breeze.

"Brother, now that the world is at peace and the six kingdoms have returned to Qin, do you still plan to enter the court as a soldier?"

"I won't go back for now. I feel relieved to have Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and Bai Ma Cuo in the army. However, many years later, to fight against the Jiufang Heavenly Palace, we will still need young generals like Meng Tian and Li Xin."

Jin Chan picked up the boiling teapot on the charcoal fire, sprinkled a handful of tea leaves into it, and poured a cup for Xiao Luoyang and himself respectively.

The tea of ​​Daqin is different from the soft tea of ​​Chang'an, and has a slight choking taste. "But how can the Jiufang Palace be defeated by the army of mortals? Does Big Brother want to donate the national fortune for millions of troops?"

Xiao Luoyang took the teacup, took a sip and asked.

Ying Lou's body is not as immortal as Jin Chan's. In the future, when all the armies of the six countries are naturalized, plus conscription, the army of Daqin will be no less than five million people.

With such a huge number of people, if they were to donate a national destiny that could rival the Jiufang Heavenly Palace, Ying Lou would probably not be able to hold on even if he was soaked in the flesh and blood of the Golden Cicada.

"Yes, apart from Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, it is hard to find a second person to break through the million-man army. Meng Wu and Wang Jian have a chance, but it is not great. Only Meng Tian may have a slight chance, not to mention ordinary soldiers. If we want to fight against Jiufang Tiangong, the only way is to donate national destiny to these ordinary people."

If he didn't eat the cicada meat, Ying Lou wouldn't be able to donate five million troops, even a few thousand people would probably be enough to exhaust him to death.

What's more, to fight against the national destiny of Jiufang Tiangong, more than just a strand of power is needed.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Little Luoyang was puzzled.

"Combining the two into one, you will both be able to rely on the country's fortune and live forever. This is the best strategy."

Jin Chan narrowed his eyes, looked at the bright full moon above his head, and spoke softly.

If the immortal King of Qin were also blessed with an inexhaustible national fortune.

Jin Chan then gained more confidence in defeating Jiufang Tiangong.

"."

Hearing this, Xiao Luoyang lowered his head and remained silent, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.

Although Jin Chan is Ying Lou and Ying Lou is Jin Chan, Xiao Luoyang always feels that they are like two different people.

That night, Jin Chan and Xiao Luoyang chatted for a long time before going to sleep.

Until the cock crows.

Ying Lou just woke up in the huge bedroom.

A dozen miles away is the Afang Palace.

Ying Lou opened his eyes and looked towards the roof, but he showed no intention of getting up.

"Although this body is no different from that of an ordinary person and I no longer have any hidden illness, it is still a mortal body after all, and it is a little weak!"

According to what Tang Qianyan and Ying Chu had said before, the national fortune around Ying Lou was unfathomable, even if all the kings of the seven Central Plains countries were added together, they would not be able to reach even one tenth of his.

But now, the national destiny of the seven countries all belong to Qin. In a few years at most, the national destiny of the entire Central Plains will be able to be used by Ying Lou.

But unfortunately, such a magnificent national destiny cannot be fully mobilized by Ying Lou's body alone.

This is like facing an ownerless mountain of gold. Even if you use all your strength, you can only take away a hundred pounds.

Powerlessness, a deep feeling of powerlessness.

"Your Majesty, as you requested, we will hold a morning court session today. Lord Li Si and all the officials have arrived."

Seeing that Ying Lou had woken up, Zhao Gao immediately walked in from outside.

"Change clothes and go to court."

Yin time, dawn.

The sun was just peeking out.

Looking down from a high place, the entire huge city of Xianyang was half darkness and half dawn.

Inside the Qilin Hall.

Ying Lou was wearing a black dragon robe made of Chu embroidery and a jade crown on his head. He sat on the black dragon throne and looked down at the civil and military officials below the stage.

And the pair of eyes behind the pearl curtain are bright, wise, and seem to have the power to swallow up mountains and rivers.

"Your Majesty, now that the six kingdoms have returned to Qin, the generals and soldiers have made great contributions. It is time to start preparing for rewards."

Master Yu, the Imperial Household, held the jade plate in both hands, took a step forward and spoke.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Send the imperial edict to Meng Wu and tell him that all the barbarians in the southwest will be incorporated into the territory of our Great Qin. However, we will still have to fortify the border with 200,000 soldiers and order the barbarians not to enter the Central Plains."

Ying Lou would not allow people from the barbaric land of the Maurya Dynasty to integrate into the Central Plains.

But the crops, minerals, and various spices there are what Daqin needs.

"Your Majesty, regarding the rewards for meritorious officials, there is one matter that we, the ministers, cannot decide. Your Majesty needs to make the decision personally."

Lord Yu, the Grand Master of the Imperial Household, did not retreat, but bowed and continued speaking.

"What's the matter?"

Ying Lou was a little confused.

"It's about Jin Chan. General Jin, since he left the barracks on the north bank of the Huai River, he has been in violation of Qin's laws. We are waiting for you."

Lord Yu's voice became smaller and smaller.

Although it was true that Jin Chan had left the military camp without permission, everyone present knew that Jin Chan had single-handedly destroyed an army of three million of the Maurya Dynasty and killed three gods in a row. No one in the Central Plains could even achieve such an achievement in thousands of years.

"In that case, there is no need to place a bounty on the Golden Cicada."

Ying Lou waved his hand and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, General Jin is unrivaled in the world and has made great contributions to the unification of the six kingdoms. Isn't it a bit unreasonable not to reward him?"

Lord Yu's voice was trembling. If he were to wipe out Jin Chan's great achievements with his own hands, not to mention whether those military generals would come to his door with swords drawn, the gossips of the people alone would be enough to overturn his family's ancestral grave.

Originally, because the laws of the Qin State were strict, Jin Chan's actions did violate the Qin laws. Lord Yu was afraid of being caught in the future, so he came up with this plan and asked Ying Lou to personally reward Jin Chan.

But who could have thought that Ying Lou didn't even hesitate and directly withdrew the reward from Jin Chan.

"Jin Chan and I are old acquaintances. There are some things I need him to handle personally, and he has no time to take care of military affairs. Well, then let's do this. I will appoint General Jin as the 'First General' of our Great Qin, but he will not hold a position in the army. In addition, I will add another level to the twenty military merit ranks, and the name 'Marquis of Zhongyuan' will be given exclusively to General Jin Chan to show his merit."

Now that the world is unified, Jin Chan no longer needs to continue to operate in the army.

Ying Lou was still worried about what reward he should give to "himself" so that the people of the world would be convinced and he could get rid of all the trouble.

That's good now. Since the coachman has mentioned it, I can just borrow the donkey to go down the hill and save myself the trouble.

"The king is wise."

All the ministers bowed and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

About an hour and a half passed.

In the court, some other matters were discussed.

Prime Minister Li Si, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up.

"allow!"

"Your Majesty, now that the world has been settled, the six kingdoms have been under the rule of Qin. Your achievements are unparalleled throughout the ages, unprecedented and unmatched. Since the collapse of the Emperor's Dynasty a thousand years ago, the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains have had the King of Qi, the King of Zhao, the King of Wei, the King of Han, the King of Chu, the King of Tang, and the King of Qin, a total of 412 kings. I think that the title of 'King' is not enough to show your great achievements. The title of 'King' is not enough to match your eternal hegemony. You should change the name to show that our Great Qin will be immortal for thousands of years."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a gust of wind swept through the court, and all the officials were shocked.

Li Si's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples in the court.

"Change the title to 'King'"

Ying Lou muttered softly, then paused, thought for a moment, and stood up.

"I ascended the throne at a young age, and at the age of twenty-two, I had my coming-of-age ceremony and personally led the government. Now, sixteen years have passed, and my Qin cavalry has finally swept across the six kingdoms and completed the unification of the Central Plains."

Ying Lou stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight, his voice majestic and powerful, as if it could penetrate the layers of dense clouds.

"'Huang' means great and respected, and 'Emperor' means virtues like heaven and earth, ruling over all things. This title governs the four seas and eight wildernesses, controls the power of heaven and earth, and is above heaven and earth and all things. I chose these two words."

"The name is, 'Emperor'."

"'Beginning' means the beginning of all ages, and I am the first 'First Emperor' of all ages!"
