Ying Zheng couldn't wait to build up his own power, and the signals he sent out were already very obvious.
As he grows older, the day for him to be crowned and take power is getting closer. Now Ying Zheng is showing an impatience and is not as polite to Lu Buwei as before.
Bai Yuan had already anticipated these situations.
"Huh? I didn't expect that the Yin-Yang family would even invite Cai Ze!"
Bai Yuan was quickly flipping through pieces of information when he suddenly saw a name and was slightly stunned.
Unlike the Tianzong, the Yin-Yang School’s methods of helping Ying Zheng were more direct.
They sent many experts to "visit" some important officials of the Qin State, and through some special means, explained the interests to them, so that they would carefully consider which side to take in this power struggle.
Simply put, the Yin-Yang School acted as a knife for Ying Zheng, a knife held around the necks of all the officials in the court.
When faced with their lives and property, most people were wise and chose to join Ying Zheng, and he began to take back power in the court.
But there were also some people who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed. They agreed to take sides on the surface, but secretly colluded with Lu Buwei or others. Then these people committed suicide inexplicably.
For a time, the people in the Qin court were in panic.
What made the situation even more confusing was Cai Ze’s attitude.
But Jimo Huaxue and others did not know this Cai Ze, so when Bai Yuan mentioned this person, they couldn't help but feel confused.
"Who is this Cai Ze?"
Bai Yuan smiled and looked at Ning Yan and Xuan Jian. Perhaps Jimo Huaxue, Yun Xi and others did not know Cai Ze, but the two of them had been in Luowang for so long, so they must be very familiar with Cai Ze.
Xuan Jian understood Bai Yuan's meaning, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.
"He is an old minister of Qin. Cai Ze was originally a senior official of Yan State. He was good at debate and wise. It was because of his reminder that Fan Ju was able to retire and enjoy his old age. He was also recommended by Fan Ju to serve as prime minister to King Zhao of Qin for several months."
"It's just that he is a bit timid. Because someone slandered him, he excused himself as being ill, sent back the seal of the prime minister, and resigned from the position of prime minister. He has been keeping quiet for so many years, but it is undeniable that as a veteran minister of four dynasties, he has enough experience and his prestige in the Qin court is not low."
After Xuan Jian's introduction, Jimo Huaxue and others quickly got to know this person.
"Since a timid person like Cai Ze has come out to take sides, I'm afraid Lu Buwei will be unable to sit still now."
Xuan Jian was a little surprised.
After hearing this, Bai Yuan revealed a meaningful smile.
A person who values life as much as Cai Ze would not normally come out to take sides when the situation is still unclear. This guy knows how to protect himself, otherwise he would not have been an unknown person for so many years.
He clearly possesses extraordinary talents, but he is content with mediocrity because he is afraid of death.
It is conceivable that he must have been coerced and bribed by the Yin-Yang Family, so he had to come out and take sides.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Although the Yin-Yang family's methods are not very bright, they are surprisingly effective!"
Because of the actions of the Yin-Yang School, the already chaotic situation has become even more turbulent. Even someone as life-conscious as Cai Ze has made his attitude clear and is on the side of Ying Zheng.
This almost blatantly showed everyone that Ying Zheng wanted to take power early.
Now in the Qin court, as long as Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei disagree, two voices will appear.
Then contradictions will begin to emerge.
Ying Zheng has already started to make his move, so I believe Lu Buwei will not sit idly by and wait for death.
Bai Yuan and the others had just digested all the information and were thinking about their next plan when they heard hurried footsteps coming from a distance.
A Taoist disciple came hurriedly with a swordsman in white.
Seeing the person coming, Bai Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Gane? Why are you here?"
"Mr. Bai Yuan, I am here on the orders of the King to deliver a letter to you!"
Gai Nie looked serious and took out an exquisite scroll from his arms and handed it to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan took it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
"The King of Qin wants to marry a daughter of the royal family of Chu as his queen!"
After a brief surprise, Bai Yuan immediately understood Ying Zheng's true intention.
Although the Great Zhou no longer exists, all countries still follow the Zhou rituals. Therefore, after Ying Zheng ascended the throne of King of Qin, he could not rule the country himself. He had to wait until he was crowned.
Without the coming-of-age ceremony, one cannot obtain the right to “rule others.”
And it is recorded in "Zhou Li" that men and women are married through the ceremony of marriage and capping.
In other words, if you want to get married, you have to be crowned. Now Ying Zheng suddenly wants to marry the daughter of the Chu royal family as his queen, obviously to give himself an excuse to perform the crowning ceremony in advance.
Chapter 247 Brother! You need to be more open-minded
After figuring out Ying Zheng's plan, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "What a great plan that kills two birds with one stone!"
By marrying the daughter of the royal family of Chu as his queen, Ying Zheng not only had an excuse to perform the ceremony of coming of age ahead of schedule and take back power sooner, but he could also win over the Chu faction in the court and use them to attack the Zhao faction headed by Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei and balance the court.
"It seems that you all understand, sir. The king had a secret talk with Queen Dowager Huayang not long ago. After that, Queen Dowager Huayang sent people to the State of Chu to propose marriage to the king. When the King of Chu found out, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed to the marriage proposal."
Gai Nie told these things slowly.
"Has the news spread?"
"Yes, everyone in Qin should know about it."
Bai Yuan nodded slightly.
Ying Zheng and the Queen Mother Huayang acted too quickly, and with the help of the Chu forces, the matter was settled before Lu Buwei could even react.
Now everyone has realized that the situation in Qin is about to change, and Ying Zheng has made no secret of his determination.
"Your Majesty's plan to marry the daughter of the Chu royal family has been approved by the Ying clan, so the majesty will perform the coronation ceremony in three months. Is Mr. Bai Yuan interested in going to watch the ceremony?"
Bai Yuan was a little surprised to hear that Ying Zheng was so anxious that he set the date for the coming-of-age ceremony three months later.
But he nodded anyway.
"I have never seen such a grand event before, so I am naturally interested."
Gai Nie cupped his hands after hearing this, took out a land deed and handed it to Bai Yuan.
"The king has prepared a quiet house for you in Xianyang. If you are free, you can go to Xianyang first."
Bai Yuan waved his hand slightly and asked Yun Xi to accept the land deed for him.
"I will go when I have time."
After completing the task assigned by Ying Zheng, Gai Nie did not stay long.
After all, he is now Ying Zheng's chief swordsmanship instructor and also serves as Ying Zheng's personal guard, so it is not easy for him to leave Xianyang for too long.
Ying Zheng sent his most trusted Gai Nie to highlight his importance to Bai Yuan, so after delivering the things, Gai Nie hurried back.
As soon as Gai Nie left, Xuan Jian immediately started asking.
"The King of Qin is so anxious, is he ready to confront Lu Buwei head-on?"
"Maybe! But none of this matters. What matters is that this trip to Xianyang will definitely be very interesting!"
Bai Yuan smiled and waved to Yun Xi and others.
"Pack your things. I'll go tell my senior brother later. We'll go to Xianyang tomorrow."
Yun Xi and others nodded, then went downstairs to get busy.
"You really want to go to Xianyang? Then I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing that Bai Yuan was planning to go to Xianyang, Xuan Jian immediately expressed his opinion.
"Since you want to go with us, I'll just return this sword to you!"
Bai Yuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and took out a black sword from the divine space.
When he saw the black sword, Xuan Jian was slightly stunned.
"I thought the sword was burned by your fire, but I didn't expect you to put it away."
Xuan Jian was very clear about how powerful Bai Yuan's flames were, so he thought he would never see the Xuan Sword again. But when he saw it again, a smile appeared on his face.
"Not only this sword, except for the Sun-shaking Sword that I destroyed, I have collected all the other swords. It would be a pity to let them be burned in vain."
Bai Yuan explained with a smile.
"The black sword is a sword of killing. Xuan Jian, are you still willing to pick up this sword now?"
"Haha, you don't need to test me anymore. For me now, a sword is a sword, whether it's a white sword or a black sword, it's the same. Whether it's killing or protecting, it just depends on my heart!"
Xuan Jian laughed loudly and took the black sword from Bai Yuan. At that moment, a strong sword intent emerged from him.
The Xuan Jian holding two swords is the complete Xuan Jian.
At this moment, his sword intent was much stronger than when he first met Bai Yuan.
"It seems that you have made considerable progress during this period."
Seeing this scene, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course. If there is a chance, I would like to spar with you to see who is better at swordsmanship!"
Xuan Jian laughed heartily twice, and at the same time, a strong fighting spirit burst out from his eyes.
He rarely saw Bai Yuan use swordsmanship, but as a top swordsman, he was very sensitive to the sword intent. He could feel that Bai Yuan's swordsmanship was definitely at the top level.
Of course, he also knew his own limitations. If they didn't compete in swordsmanship but instead had an unrestricted sparring match, he would definitely not be able to beat Bai Yuan.
This guy has too many tricks up his sleeve. Not to mention anything else, just the secret technique he used to destroy the Sun-Covering Sword made him a little wary.
He didn't want the two swords to be broken into pieces after a fight.
Hearing Xuan Jian's words, Bai Yuan smiled and nodded and agreed.
"Great! I haven't had a serious sparring session with anyone in a long time!"
Ever since leaving Sanghai and saying goodbye to Wuming, Bai Yuan has really never used swordsmanship seriously.
After deciding to go to Xianyang with Bai Yuan, Xuan Jian hurried back to pack his things and agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain tomorrow.
Bai Yuan ran to find Chisongzi to explain the situation.
Upon hearing that Bai Yuan was about to go to Xianyang, Chisongzi did not stop him, but just nodded slightly.
"Since you are going to Xianyang, that's perfect. I will also send someone to deliver some things to Xuan Yuzi, so you can take them along as well!"
Bai Yuan did not refuse.
After thinking about it, he spent two thousand fragments and materialized two blueprints, which were the forging techniques of [Remote Controlled Flying Sword] and [Thousand-pound Heavy Sword].
"Brother, take these two drawings!"
Seeing Bai Yuan take out two more drawings, Chi Songzi was no longer as calm as before.
He hurriedly took the drawing and was stunned.
"Can we also copy the two swords you forged earlier using this blueprint?"
Chi Songzi raised his voice very high.
You know, for an ordinary swordsmith, it is almost impossible to forge two identical swords.
Because a famous sword itself has a characteristic, that is, it is unique.
If it could be mass-produced, how could it be called a precious and famous sword?
But this rule seems to be completely invalid for Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan also knew why Chisongzi had such a big reaction. He smiled and patted Chisongzi on the shoulder, then made some promises for him.
"Brother! You have to think bigger. These are just two blueprints. Our Tian Sect is thriving. Maybe in the future, it won't be a dream for every disciple to have a famous sword!"
Everyone holds a famous sword!
Even though Chisongzi had a strong heart, he couldn't help but breathe heavier after hearing Bai Yuan's words.
He grasped the two blueprints in his hands and nodded heavily.
"Junior brother, you are right! But if you want to achieve these visions, you still have to work harder!"
