Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

He walked out of the hall, and Meng Ao and his companions followed closely behind him.

Over the years, under Lu Buwei's conservative foreign policy, they have not gained much military merit. Now that the credit is within their grasp, they will never let it slip away.

To suppress a rebellion, especially for a big figure like Marquis Changxin, is a great achievement!

The younger generations in their family are all waiting for this opportunity to show their talents!

When everyone arrived at Yongcheng, they found that the residence of Marquis Changxin had been surrounded.

Countless old Qin people came spontaneously, holding hoes, sickles and various other weapons. Even though they were wearing cloth, they were not afraid of the soldiers guarding the mansion. They were all filled with righteous indignation and cursed loudly.

"Lao Ai, you traitor, how dare you plot to murder the king? I, Old Li, will beat you to death with a hoe today!"

"You are so ungrateful, you are worse than pigs and dogs. The king has been so kind to you, yet you are so heartless!"

"I, the Qin people, don't have bastards like you!"

Looking at the excited old Qin people, Ying Zheng was deeply moved.

The men of our Great Qin are all men who stand tall and proud!

"The king has arrived!"

With a loud shout, the people of the Qin Dynasty who were surrounding the king turned around, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Long live the king! Long live the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng stood on the shaft of the chariot, his eyes swept over everyone present, he took a deep breath, and said loudly, "My fellow elders and brothers of the Great Qin, the Qin law has an order that you do not have to kneel when you see the king while wearing armor. Although you are wearing plain clothes today, your loyalty and bravery are no less than that of the Great Qin warriors. You are all good men of the Great Qin!"

He waved his hand and asked them to stand up and greet him. "The matter of Lao Ai's rebellion is of great importance. Today, I will lead all the officials in the court to find out the truth. I will not wrongly accuse any loyal minister, nor will I let any treacherous person go!"

"If the evidence is irrefutable, no matter who the person is or who is protecting him, I will never tolerate it! If anyone dares to obstruct, they are going against the officials of the court, against me, and against countless old Qin people!"

"I will never let anyone disregard the laws of the Great Qin. Merits must be rewarded and punishments must be punished. This is the foundation of the Great Qin and will not be shaken by anyone!"

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression. This was a powerful force that would crush Lao Ai to death!

The Queen Mother was powerful, and he controlled both military and political power. All of this was based on the Qin State.

How can a simple individual compete with the entire Qin State?

His eyes were dark and uncertain, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion. What he was worried about now was his own situation.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Su Xuan inconspicuously.

All these changes were caused by him, and his methods were so fierce that people couldn't help but feel terrified.

Can I really beat him?

For some reason, a trace of fear rose in his heart, because he knew that even if he gave up his power, Su Xuan would never let him go.

Because they are the same kind of people!

Perhaps it is time to leave Qin. No matter how far his arms extend, he is still out of reach in other countries!

Upon hearing this, Lao Ai's face turned pale and his body began to tremble like a sieve. The fear in his heart surged like a tide, not only because he had lost his last support, but also because he was guilty of treason and was going to be sentenced to death!

How could a fair-looking guy like him endure such a crime?

"Your Majesty, when I sent people to summon Lao Ai's confidants here, only Nei Shi Xuansi came. The rest of them have disappeared. I suspect they have defected after getting the news." Wang Jian reported while standing beside Ying Zheng.

Xuan Si, who was originally drunk, thought that Lao Ai summoned him to discuss the rebellion with Shang, but he never expected that Ying Zheng was right in front of him. He was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled, and he even had a physiological reaction, vomiting and diarrhea.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered thousands of sets of armor hidden in the mansion of Marquis Changxin, as well as hundreds of powerful bows and crossbows, and a number of swords and halberds." Not long after, Meng Ao also brought the good news.

"Your Majesty, there are several items, and I don't know whether I should present them to Your Majesty." Meng Ao looked embarrassed.

"Present it." Ying Zheng looked at Lao Ai expressionlessly. He wanted to see what surprise Lao Ai had prepared for him.

"Yes!" Meng Ao responded respectfully, then waved his hand, and two soldiers came over carrying a box.

When they opened the box, the contents inside shocked the ministers present.

The Qin King's sword and black dragon robe were exactly the same as Ying Zheng's. More importantly, there were several straw figures inside with Ying Zheng's name written on them, and silver needles were inserted on the figures.

It is obvious that this is to curse Ying Zheng!

"You are so evil, Lao Ai, you have such evil intentions, how dare you curse my king!"

"The legendary witchcraft? Lao Ai, you are such a vicious and sinister villain! If I were to execute you, I would chop you into pieces and tear you into pieces!"

"You are a beast in human form! You are unworthy of being my subject!"

......

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. The ministers present all scolded him and distanced themselves from him, especially those who had previously defected to Lao Ai, who were the most enthusiastic at this time.

Lao Ai's lips trembled, his face pale, and he shouted, "This is all slander! I want to see the Queen Mother! I want to see the Queen Mother!!"

"Report!" Meng Tian rushed over at this time, "Your Majesty, when I summoned the Weiwei Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie attempted to resist and was killed by me." After saying that, he raised the bloody head in his hand.

"Report!" Wang Li said after a moment, "Your Majesty, I have captured the escaped Zhong Dafu Ling Wang Jie, Zuo Ge Dong Qi and several others."

"They confessed to the charge of treason and signed their names."

"Then let's execute it according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng said with an iron-faced and impartial side. After saying this, he looked at the court officials and asked, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise." No ministers dared to say a word against him and they all cheered.

Looking at the many ministers who were bowing their heads and submitting at his feet, Ying Zheng suddenly felt proud and in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I promise to stay in Yongcheng and not go anywhere else!" Lao Ai wanted to rush to Ying Zheng to beg for mercy, but was quickly stopped by Wang Jian and his party.

"My lord, I don't need so many fiefs, and I don't want any power. Please spare my life for the queen mother and for the harmony between mother and son."

"My lord, I really know I was wrong..."

He kept begging for mercy, tears streaming down his face.

Ying Zheng remained expressionless from beginning to end, and in the end he just replied indifferently.

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Chapter 129 Yin Yang Family

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Li Si walked out from among the many ministers, bowed his head and said respectfully, "If I remember correctly, the person who recommended Lao Ai to enter the palace was the Prime Minister."

Lu Buwei recognized Li Si at a glance. He was not surprised at Li Si's betrayal in the middle of the battle. He just looked at him deeply.

People who think they are smart are often not that smart.

Changping Jun Mi Qi looked surprised. Originally, he was the one who should have launched the attack on Lu Buwei, but he never expected that Li Si would take the lead in doing so. Now he was not in a hurry and just waited for things to develop.

"It is difficult to determine whether the Prime Minister was involved in the Lao Ai rebellion. I believe that for the sake of the stability of our Great Qin, we should temporarily take back the military and political power from the Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty is about to be crowned, so I think the Prime Minister will understand if he returns the military and political power half a month in advance."

Ying Zheng stared at Li Si for a few seconds, then became interested. "Li Si, sir, I have mentioned you before."

"I will remember your name."

He nodded slightly to show his affirmation, and then looked at Lu Buwei with a scrutinizing gaze, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

"In the past, Your Majesty was still young, and thanks to the trust of the Queen Mother and other ministers, I was in charge of the military and political power for more than ten years. Now that Your Majesty is about to be crowned, it is only natural for me to return the military and political power." Lu Buwei lowered his head and admitted defeat.

Looking at Lu Buwei who bowed his head in admission of defeat, Ying Zheng had a complicated expression. He did not dwell on such matters too much. After handing over the finishing touches to Changping Jun and his party, he got on the carriage and returned to Xianyang.

"Mr. Su Xuan, wait a minute." Just as Su Xuan was about to leave, Mi Qi stopped him.

"Now that the matter is settled, do you have time to chat at my residence?" Seeing Su Xuan's puzzled expression, he added, "After all, we will still need to jointly govern the country in the future."

Su Xuan understood that this was Mi Qi trying to show goodwill to him, so he agreed to his proposal directly. After agreeing on the exact time, the two left one after another.

......

Mount Li, Yin-Yang School.

"The ceremony is completed and the drums are played. The dance is performed by the Ba band. The girls sing with grace. The spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums bloom. They will last forever in the east." A deep and low voice echoed in the East Emperor Palace.

This is a strange place. The entire space is shrouded in starlight. Looking up, you can see billions of stars shining, and star rings intertwined and circling each other. The snow-white silver light pours down the entire hall, like a gorgeous Milky Way, giving people a sense of being there.

Donghuang Taiyi stood on a high platform, covered with a black robe and wearing a strange mask, holding a crystal glass ball used for divination in his hand.

He looked up at the boundless starry sky and discovered that a dark star was rising strongly and shining brightly. The dazzling starlight illuminated the boundless universe, which was a thousand times brighter than before. What was even more peculiar was that although this star was protecting the Purple Star, it was not completely dependent on the Purple Star. Instead, they complemented each other and had their own orbit.

"A changed destiny, a person who never appeared, a trajectory that cannot be explored, where will you take your destiny?"

"Greetings to His Excellency Dong Huang!"

At some point, two figures were already standing in the center of the hall, bowing respectfully in unison.

These are two stunning women, each with her own unique charm. One of them is wearing a dark blue long skirt, with her long hair tied low, and a beautiful figure. A three-legged golden crow image is faintly visible behind her, giving people a solemn, elegant and luxurious temperament.

The other woman was wearing a light blue robe, a sky blue veil, and a long skirt that reached the ground. She looked mysterious and quiet, with a kind of cold and aloof feeling.

They were none other than the Yin-Yang family’s left and right protectors, Yan Fei and Yue Shen.

"In this world, the fate of the vast majority of people follows a predetermined trajectory. Only a very small number of people's fates are unpredictable. Their appearance is a variable in the world. Everyone has the power to change the world."

"In our Yin-Yang family, such people are called the Chosen Ones."

"The Chosen One has appeared in the world. I have a feeling that the fate of the Yin-Yang family will be closely related to him." Donghuang Taiyi looked at Yan Fei and Yue Shen, "I need more information about the Chosen One. Who of you two will contact this Chosen One?"

The Moon Goddess's sky-blue eyes were like the surface of a deep lake, cold and quiet.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes were filled with emotion. "Your Excellency Donghuang, do you know who this Chosen One is?"

The one who changed his fate? Yan Fei had a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Ten years ago, we joined Lü Buwei and became his retainers, hoping to use his power to expand the development of Yin-Yang School. However, because he respected the Taoist philosophy of governing by inaction, our philosophy was contrary to that, and he did not like it. As a result, the development of Yin-Yang School has been slow over the past decade."

"Half a year ago, I noticed the changes in the stars and changed my affiliation, allowing the entire Yin-Yang family to serve Qin King Ying Zheng and grow stronger with him."

"Just now, I received news that Lu Buwei handed over the military and political power, and Ying Zheng became the master of this empire with an unstoppable momentum."

"All these changes were caused by just one person, the Confucian Su Xuan."

"It only took him half a day to eliminate Lao Ai and force Lu Buwei to give up power and give way to a virtuous person."

"He is the biggest variable in this world."

After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, Yan Fei and Yue Shen were both shocked.

Lu Buwei and Lao Ai were the two most powerful people in the Qin State. Even Ying Zheng, who had not yet been crowned, could only rule the country with ease, with all power delegated to others.

And Su Xuan, with his own strength, wiped them all out in just half a day?

How on earth did he do it?

As proud as Yan Fei and as cold as the Moon Goddess, they all inevitably became curious about Su Xuan.

Because this is too incredible and beyond the scope of thought that ordinary people can understand.

"Remember, your mission is to rely on his power, collect the seven boxes, and explore the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon." Donghuang Taiyi said in a deep voice.

Having said that, he glanced at Yan Fei inconspicuously.

At the beginning, he was planning to let Yan Fei get close to Yan Dan so as to explore the mystery of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, but an object he had obtained before changed his mind.

Although that thing is now worthless.

You need to collect all seven Dragon Balls to make a wish, but will it really be useful if you only get one of the treasure boxes of the Blue Dragon?

Instead of getting close to Yan Dan, it would be better to rely on the power of Qin to destroy the six kingdoms and thereby take them all into his possession.

"Your Excellency Donghuang, the king has ordered Your Excellency Yueshen and Your Excellency Dongjun to go to Zhangtai Palace to deduce the changes in the stars for the king." A hoarse duck voice came over, and the person who came was Zhao Gao.

"So both of you are here. That will make things easier." Zhao Gao chuckled and made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Dongjun, Mr. Yueshen, please come in!"

Chapter 130: Bird Trainer

Zhangtai Palace.

"Sir, you are finally here."

As soon as Su Xuan walked into the hall, Ying Zheng came up to him with a smile on his face. His enthusiasm made Su Xuan a little flattered.

"Sir, your thunderous methods are really refreshing!" Ying Zheng smiled and pulled Su Xuan to sit in the hall.

The palace maid stood by and poured wine for the two without saying anything.

"It is my duty to share the king's worries." Su Xuan looked at Ying Zheng intently, "I wonder what the king wants me to do this time?"

"Of course I came to you for good news." Ying Zheng smiled meaningfully, then his face straightened and he became more serious. "I received a message that Ji Wuye started a rebellion in the territory of South Korea. Your junior brother Han Fei turned the tide and quelled Ji Wuye's rebellion."

He paused, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted. "What's more interesting is that he took this opportunity to launch a coup and drove the King of Han off the throne. Now, he is the true King of Han!"
