The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 612: Gentleman's Tool (asking for monthly votes at the end of the month~~~)

Su Xin Jing Yue quietly gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage to look at Ying Zheng pitifully, not caring about being afraid of being approached, her beautiful eyes were full of requests and expectations, and she whispered: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you. It is really arrogant, please forgive me."

The beauty looked so pitiful and coquettish, which was a real contrast, and Ying Zheng's heart was throbbing. It can only be said that women are born to act coquettishly, and such a beautiful woman acting coquettishly is really touching and makes people's hearts sway.

Ying Zheng was very interested and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Su Xin Jing Yue said carefully: "I have loved swords since I was young. I love swords like crazy. I have no other hobbies in my life. I am only interested in swords and swordsmanship. The strongest sword in the world is in the hands of the king. I want to see it with my own hands."

Ying Zheng let out a long "oh" and looked at the beauty in his arms with a smile.

Su Xin Jingyue felt uneasy, and a timid expression rarely appeared on her pretty face. She whispered, "My request is too much, so let's just forget it."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly for a long time before he stopped and said proudly: "Only the name and the position cannot be borrowed from others."

"Is this vessel an artifact? Is it a dead object?"

"The Nine Cauldrons were still in the hands of the King of Zhou. How did the Zhou lose the world? How did it rule the world?"

"Tai'a and Zhanlu are in my hands, so I am the supreme ruler of the world! That's why I can point at mountains and cause them to collapse, and draw a line on the ground and it will split."

"With one swing of my sword, millions of people are killed and the sea of ​​blood is flowing."

"But how can my strength be contained in this sword?"

“A gentleman keeps his talents within himself. These talents are my virtue, my talent, my courage, my wisdom, my ability, and my perseverance. These will never be taken away by others.”

Ying Zheng pointed at Tai'a, and Tai'a on the sword rack automatically unsheathed half of its sword, humming softly, with sword energy entwined, extremely obedient. Even though Ying Zheng had just said it was a dead object, Tai'a didn't care at all.

Ying Zheng smiled proudly and said, "All the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. I am the emperor, and my ambition lies in my heart, not in a sword?"

"Since you love swords, why not let me show you one? The swords you have seen in your life are just worldly swords. I am the emperor's sword that encompasses heaven and earth. You will truly gain new knowledge when you are with me in the future."

Ying Zheng's extremely domineering and heroic words shocked Su Xin Jingyue so much that she was stunned on the spot. Suddenly, she felt that she was no longer afraid in Ying Zheng's arms, as if Jian Xin really felt the sword of the Son of Heaven.

Just like what Zhuangzi said.

The sword of the Son of Heaven has Yanxi and Shicheng as its tip, Qi and Mount Tai as its edge; Jin and Wei as its spine, Zhou and Song as its hilt, Han and Wei as its arm; it is surrounded by the four barbarians and wrapped by the four seasons; it is encircled by the Bohai Sea and belted by Mount Changshan; it is regulated by the Five Elements and discussed in terms of punishment and virtue; it is opened by Yin and Yang, held by spring and summer, and implemented by autumn and winter.

This sword is straight and has no precedent. It can be raised to the highest point, placed at the lowest point, and moved without deviation. It can cut through the clouds above and the earth below. Once this sword is used, the princes will be in harmony and the whole world will be subdued.

She had always thought that the Emperor's Sword discussed by Zhuangzi was just a fantasy, but now, it seemed as if she had really seen an Emperor's Sword that spanned heaven and earth.

Her perception of the sword suddenly changed. She felt that Tai'a and Zhanlu, who had always been thinking about it and longing to see it, didn't seem to be looking forward to it so much.

Even though they are the embodiment of power and benevolence between heaven and earth, they still pale in comparison to the ways of the Son of Heaven and Emperor.

What she was looking forward to now was to take a look at the Emperor's Sword.

It's just so strange. I'm not afraid or nervous anymore, but why does my body feel even weaker?

Su Xin Jingyue stared at Ying Zheng's profile in a daze, feeling an inexplicable heat in her heart.

Ying Zheng waited for several breaths, but there was no movement from the beauty in his arms. He lowered his head and their eyes met.

The moment Su Xin Jingyue and Ying Zheng looked at each other, she instantly avoided his gaze and hid naturally in Ying Zheng's arms.

Ying Zheng smiled, smoothed the beauty's pure white hair, and said softly: "Don't be afraid of anything. You don't have to be afraid of anything when you are with me. Go and see the sword. You are born with a sword heart, which is rare in the world. Tai'a and Zhanlu also want to meet you."

Su Xin Jing Yue nodded gently, and climbed up from Ying Zheng's arms tremblingly. Her advanced cultivation was of no use at all. After she came to her senses, her instincts took over again.

Although her sealed internal energy was released by Ying Zheng just now.

Even if it was the people brought by Chisongzi, even if they had reported long ago and even if they were summoned by Ying Zheng, they were entering the palace for the first time and had no official positions, so their internal strength was still sealed.

Su Xin Jingyue had just returned to normal as soon as she was three feet away from Ying Zheng. This was already a huge improvement, which showed that she was no longer subconsciously repulsed by Ying Zheng.

You know, under normal circumstances, Su Xin Jingyue would not get within ten feet of outsiders. She would feel uncomfortable as long as they were within ten feet. If there were many people around, she would feel even more nervous and cramped.

Su Xin Jing Yue approached the sword rack calmly, feeling the sharp sword intent of the power of heaven and earth with her heart. The half-unsheathed Tai A sword emitted an inexplicable sword energy that circled back and forth, which did not repel Su Xin Jing Yue.

Ying Zheng secretly praised that Tiansheng’s swordsmanship was indeed extraordinary.

You know, divine things are self-obscure.

If it had not been recognized by the Tai'a Sword, everyone would have seen it as just an ordinary ancient sword that was simple and unadorned.

Now that the Taia Sword has taken the initiative to display its magical powers, this is already very respectful. Of course, it is also partly due to Ying Zheng.

But even so, we can already see Tiansheng Kenshin's innate advantages in the way of the sword. No matter whether they are compatible or not, or whether they can get the recognition of the sword, at least most swords will not reject it, which is already a huge lead.

Ying Zheng became more and more satisfied with Su Xin Jing Yue.

If a beauty is just a vase, then people will get tired of her soon. Only such a stunning genius is worthy of long-term pampering.

Moreover, just by looking at the beauty's cultivation and the sword calluses on her ten fingers, one can tell that her character and perseverance are second to none.

Ying Zheng admired and liked such a beauty very much.

Su Xin Jingyue carefully observed the Tai'a sword. The pattern seemed plain and simple to ordinary people, but she was completely immersed in it.

In her eyes, the mysterious and wonderful sword patterns were the condensation of the mighty sword energy between heaven and earth. In the round and flawless patterns, the mighty sword energy between heaven and earth circulated over and over again.

Moreover, after years of nurturing by Ying Zheng, the sword energy of Tai'a Sword has become more noble and supreme, making it seem even more supreme and noble, and cannot be looked at directly.

It would be fine if ordinary people couldn't understand it, but for someone like Su Xin Jingyue who could see clearly, after staring for a while, she couldn't stand it with her cultivation level, so she could only close her eyes, rest, and count her breaths before she could open her eyes.

The more Su Xin Jingyue looked at it, the more shocked she became, and the more delighted and fortunate she became. For a sword fanatic like her, being able to see the world's best sword was truly a matter of extreme satisfaction and joy.

Su Xin Jing Yue was about to uncontrollably reach for Tai'a on the sword rack, but after she had raised her hand, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded. Su Xin Jingyue's pretty face blushed slightly. She bowed to Ying Zheng and then held the Tai'a sword with both hands, extremely pious and respectful.

The Taia sword is not very long, nor is it very heavy, but it is also very substantial.

Tai'a is the sword of the king's power, not a fierce sword. Even though it is not meant for women, it will not be used with malicious intent.

Moreover, because Su Xin Jing Yue had the aura of Ying Zheng on her body, although it was very faint, the sword was spiritual, which allowed this ethereal sword heart to get a glimpse of the power of heaven and earth.

Su Xin Jing Yue completely drew her sword from its sheath, holding the Tai'a Sword, and looked at it carefully, her mind immersed in it. After all, she was a woman, and her ethereal sword heart could make people's minds free of distractions and the sword and people united, and her sword intention was pure in heart, ethereal and far-reaching. However, after all, a woman was light, delicate and floating, which was too far from the heavy majesty of the king of heaven and earth.

Su Xin Jingyue only delved a little deeper into the power of the sword, and she could no longer withstand the huge pressure and took the initiative to withdraw.

Su Xin Jingyue took two deep breaths. Although she was under great pressure just now, she was filled with joy and felt that her life was not in vain.

Su Xin Jingyue carefully put the sword back into the sheath, stroked the hilt reluctantly, and looked at Ying Zheng again.

Ying Zheng looked at the beauty's cautious look and found her adorable.

He just smiled and waved his hand.

The beauty suddenly became cheerful, with a smile on her pretty face. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking and made people lose their minds.

Su Xin Jing Yue walked quickly to the sword rack on the other side where the Zhanlu sword was placed, carefully grasped the hilt, and gently pulled out the Zhanlu.

The sword is covered with dreamy glow and the sword energy is bright, which is beautiful beyond words.

Zhanlu is the sword of benevolence of heaven and earth. Benevolence means love.

A benevolent person loves others, behaves uprightly, treats others with loyalty, is sincere to others, and is forgiving to others.

The kindness of the Zhanlu Sword is beyond the understanding and mastery of an ordinary woman.

However, Zhanlu Sword will never take the initiative to release malicious intent towards the opponent.

On the contrary, Zhanlu Sword often shows goodwill before being sure of the other party's intentions.

It is difficult for women to be kind and righteous, but women’s kindness also includes love and compassion.

Su Xin Jing Yue admired Zhan Lu carefully. She was flattered by Zhan Lu's kindness and gentleness towards her. Su Xin Jing Yue hurriedly felt the sword meaning of benevolence. She could not comprehend too much from the way of power, but she might benefit a lot from the way of benevolence.

While Su Xin Jingyue was immersed in the benevolent sword of Zhanlu, Ying Zheng was also paying attention to Su Xin Jingyue. Seeing that Zhanlu Sword accepted Su Xin Jingyue and was willing to take her to explore the way of benevolence and righteousness in heaven and earth, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

With such a short period of time, even Ying Zheng could not be sure of the other party's character, but the sword's heart and sword's will could not deceive people, and people could not deceive Zhanlu.

Neither could Ying Zheng. Zhan Lu was willing to be controlled by Ying Zheng and to curry favor with him because, although Ying Zheng was power-hungry and a political creature, he also had the ambition to be an emperor.

The heart of the emperor is to shepherd the people on behalf of the heaven, to govern the country, to stabilize the state, to order the people, and to benefit the descendants.

The whole world will be unified, with the same writing system, the same wheel gauge, the same measurement system, and the same ethics. This is the great principle.

To stabilize the world, to govern the four seas, to uphold the laws and regulations, to correct evil and rectify customs, to punish rebellion and eliminate harm, to promote benefits and increase happiness, to educate the people, and to show compassion to the masses, this is the great benevolence.

The heart of the Son of Heaven does not value the kindness of women, but is about governing the country, pacifying the world and rectifying the universe.

Although Zhanlu Sword is kind, it is definitely not the kindheartedness of a woman. A woman's kindheartedness is indecisive, emotional, short-sighted, and will lose the big picture for the small.

Some choices in this world are cruel, but we have to make them, and this is especially true for loving the world.

This is why Zhanlu Sword was willing to submit to Ying Zheng. The world is too miserable, even if there is only a moment of peace, it is rare and precious.

But unless necessary, Zhanlu is willing to show kindness to everyone.

The prerequisite is that your nature is originally righteous.

So when Ying Zheng saw Zhan Lu accept Su Xin Jing Yue and they were very close, he felt very satisfied.

This shows that Su Xin Jing Yue is not a bad person by nature and is kind.

No man likes to share a bed with a woman who has a heart of a vicious snake.

On the contrary, men all hope that their women are as kind as possible, even if she is just pretending, it would be best if she is really kind.

Even though Ying Zheng himself was not a good person in the conventional sense, the mentality was the same.

This means that no matter whether I am a good person or not, my woman must be a good person.

Su Xin Jing Yue didn't know that she had already gained some more impression points in Ying Zheng's heart. She was still immersed in the sword intent of benevolence, and Zhan Lu generously let her feel the benevolence of heaven and earth to her heart's content.

The benevolence of heaven and earth is life.

Ying Zheng quietly admired the beauty who closed her eyes and meditated, and did not rush to wake her up. After half a cup of tea, Su Xin Jing Yue finally came back to her senses, and she didn't know when she had already shed two lines of tears.

Benevolence comes from compassion.

As soon as she came to her senses, Su Xin Jing Yue quickly sheathed her sword, wiped her tears, and came to Ying Zheng to thank him and apologize: "I thank the king for his grace. Today I have a glimpse of the great way of heaven and earth. I have no regrets in my death."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for keeping you waiting for so long."

Ying Zheng waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, there is no crime in it."

"You Meng should have gained some understanding just now, and let's take advantage of this lingering feeling to comprehend it more carefully."

"You should also get familiar with the palace you live in. Don't worry about anything. Someone will arrange it for you. I will come to see you when I have time."

Su Xin Jing Yue calmed down her joy, thanked the emperor and left, and was led by the eunuch to Su Jin Palace. As for arranging maids and teaching the palace rules, someone would arrange it.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the gift from the Taoists, and was also very satisfied with the Taoists' attitude. As for eating Su Xin Jing Yue, there is no need to rush, give the social phobia some time to get familiar with the environment.

Now it’s up to the Yin-Yang School.

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to give the Jade Purity Pill to the beauties in the harem. He was waiting for the Rejuvenation Pill from the Yin-Yang family and wanted to use them together.

Ying Zheng naturally knew what kind of elixir the Yin-Yang School had refined, and he naturally had people planted in both the Yin-Yang School and the Taoist schools.

Giving gifts is a way of showing one's attitude, and now Ying Zheng is very satisfied with the attitude of the Taoists. The Taoists are fine, they are really determined to get along with him, and they have sent the seedlings of the next generation of leaders to his harem, which is already the best they can do.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

Loyalty is not expressed with words, but proved with actions.

How can it be so easy to judge whether a minister is loyal or not?

People who think of what the king likes and give him all the good things are not necessarily loyal ministers; but those who have no thoughts in their hearts and do not show any behavior are definitely not loyal ministers.
