There is also a shortcut, which is to encounter a higher-level world that Qin Bin and others can currently handle.

It's not like he hasn't encountered high-level worlds over the years, and he's encountered three of them in total. However, the levels of the worlds he encountered were too high. The lowest one had a rating of at least 20 stars, and the higher ones were beyond Mengyuan's understanding and he couldn't judge them at all.

Faced with a world of this level, whether it is Meng Yuan, Qin Bin, Xiao Bai and others, they all have only one conclusion - to touch it is to give it away.

There is no way. Qin Bin and others are currently struggling to reach 11 or 12 stars, let alone above 20 stars.

Therefore, Qin Bin and others could only explore the way forward for cultivation on their own while hoping that Meng Yuan would bring good news.

By May of the twenty-seventh year of Yongxing in Yuqin, Mengyuan brought some news, which was not sure whether it could be considered good or not.

[Dream Wish: Xiaobin! I just discovered a new world, and the preliminary estimate is that it is 14 stars strong.]

Chapter 532: Untitled

On May 15th, the 27th year of Yongxing in Yu Qin, the imperial capital was Luoyang.

Qin Bin was in the Imperial Hall, listening to the second cabinet's report on future plans. After Meng Yuan told him that a new world had been discovered, and it was a new world of 14-star strength, he did not rush to learn about the situation. He just asked Meng Yuan to learn more about the situation first and discuss it in detail after he finished the meeting.

"Last year, the treasury deficit was reduced again and is expected to be balanced in the next two to three years. I believe that the second phase of the outer space city construction plan can be implemented ahead of schedule..."

In the Great Hall, below the throne, on the standing podium opposite the throne, the empire's second prime minister, Xun Yu, stood there, reporting to Qin Bin and hundreds of ministers and nobles the outline of the empire's development route for the next ten years in concise, orderly, and clear wording.

Xun Yu was one of the remaining ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was recruited by the court in the second year after the founding of Yu Qin. He first served as the governor of Nanyang County. Three years later, he was transferred to Luoyang as the director of the Civil Affairs Department under the Minister of Revenue due to his outstanding political achievements. In the seventh year of Yongxing, he was transferred to the Cabinet as a secretary. In the thirteenth year of Yongxing, the former Minister of Rites Lu Zhi retired due to old age, and Xun Yu was transferred to the Minister of Rites. In the eighteenth year of Yongxing, due to his outstanding ability and conduct, and remarkable political achievements, and at the same time that the former second assistant of the cabinet Cai Yong retired due to old age, Xun Yu was recommended by Zhang Juzheng to join the cabinet. The first cabinet passed it unanimously, and Qin Bin approved the request. From then on, Xun Yu officially joined the cabinet.

At the beginning of this year, the term of office of the first cabinet chief Zhang Juzheng expired, so Zhang Juzheng recommended Xun Yu as the chief minister.

After the cabinet's draft, the grand court meeting, and the imperial assembly's vote, Xun Yu won with an absolute advantage of four-fifths of the votes. Qin Bin also understood Zhang Juzheng's intention, so he formally appointed Xun Yu as the second chief minister of the cabinet.

Xun Yu's character and ability have not only been verified by history, but he has also worked hard in the past twenty years to prove that he is worthy of the reputation of "a talent who can assist the king". Therefore, Xun Yu's appointment as the second chief minister of the cabinet is undisputed in Yuqin.

As for the issue of 'loving the Han', it has long ceased to be a problem. After all, Emperor Yu Qin was in power, the country was prosperous and the country was looking down on all nations. In comparison between the Han and Qin dynasties, no matter how 'loving the Han' or 'ambitious' a person was, he would not have thought about it.

What's more, Liu Xie, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, was in the Great Hall at that time, listening to government affairs in the lower seat as the imperial duke.

At this time, Liu Xie was not only living well, but also living a comfortable life. He often treated the Emperor Yan Wang (Qin Wu) as his brother. The Emperor still regarded him as his younger brother and took good care of him.

Liu Xie's eldest son entered the Imperial Army University at this time. He performed outstandingly and was well-known in the court and the country. His future was bright. He was much better than his father Liu Xie, who only relied on his title to get by and was somewhat uneducated.

Generally speaking, it is the only case in history that a leader can live such a carefree life in the new dynasty.

Therefore, those remaining ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the old members of the Liu clan quickly put aside their doubts and pledged their allegiance to the Qin Empire.

But after all, they are the old guard of the previous dynasty. No matter how sincerely they are loyal, they will inevitably subconsciously behave overly cautiously and restrained.

And now Xun Yu has become the second chief minister of the cabinet and the head of the empire's civil officials. This is the best and most direct attitude Qin Bin gives to the people of the world - the emperor is undoubtedly a former dynasty identity, and everyone is treated equally.

With this attitude, the last bit of worry in the hearts of the remaining ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely dispelled, and they were more actively and enthusiastically displaying their talents to build the ideal fairyland on earth for the emperor and hundreds of millions of people.

Let’s get back to the topic.

After Xun Yu finished his report, Qin Bin and a group of the empire's civil and military nobles held court meetings on the new ten-year plan. They were busy until the evening. Together with the previous three days, this quarter's grand court meeting of the empire was officially over.

After the meeting, Qin Bin called Xun Yu alone.

In an outer corridor of the Imperial Hall, Qin Bin said, "Wen Ruo, for the next period of time, all matters concerning the government and the country will be handed over to you."

Xun Yu paused for a moment, "May I ask, Your Majesty, are you going to go abroad again?"

"That's one of them." Qin Bin nodded. "Now that everything in the empire is on the right track, I can concentrate on external expansion. The internal governance of the empire is up to you."

As he spoke, Qin Bin reached out and patted Xun Yu's shoulder, as if handing the heavy responsibility to him.

Xun Yu understood, his expression solemn, he stood up straight and bowed, "I will devote my whole life to your majesty and the country until my death!"

"good."

Qin Bin smiled, and then he thought of someone because of these words, so he continued.

"How is Zhuge Liang now?"

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Kongming has been the governor of Luo County (Italy) under Junzhou for four years. He has outstanding abilities and has governed the area well. The people are grateful for the emperor's grace and are proud to be Qin people. Luo County is also the most thoroughly naturalized county among the western counties. I would like to transfer Zhuge Kongming to the court when he returns to report on his duties after his five-year term next year, so that he can be trained better."

Qin Bin nodded slightly, but did not express his opinion. Instead, he asked, "Putting history aside, what is your evaluation of him?"

Xun Yu replied, "He is a man of both civil and military talents, and a capable minister."

"How does it compare to you?"

"With careful polishing, in time, it will be better than mine."

"That's a very high evaluation. Since he has both good character and talent, let's train him well."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Where's Sima Yi?"

"Your Majesty, Sima Yi still refuses to take up a government post. At this moment, he is tilling the land in Wen County, Henei." Xun Yu said with a strange expression on his face.

Qin Bin smiled and said, "Are you afraid of public opinion?"

"Your Majesty is very insightful. It is true. If Sima Zhongda were to take office, the people would subconsciously despise him no matter where he was placed. This is similar to Cao Pi, the son of Meng De."

"It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it. Let him live freely in the wild."

"promise."

Qin Bin asked again, "Where is Zhou Gongjin?"

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu has no intention of taking up an official position until now. In my opinion, it is not because he has any estrangement in his heart, but just like Sima Yi and Cao Pi, he does not want to listen to the opinions of the people." The reason why Xun Yu said this was because Zhen Mi and Xiao Qiao were already one of the imperial concubines.

"I understand." Qin Bin nodded slightly, "Feng Xiao still refuses to return to the court?"

When asked about his best friend, Xun Yu smiled helplessly, "It's the same excuse again. I can't stand the many rules in the court."

Not long after the founding of the country, Guo Jia followed the Qin army to conquer the world, made many contributions, and was awarded the second-class earl. When he saw that the world was unified, he directly applied for retirement, which gave him a sense of quitting his job after his life was guaranteed.

Of course, another way to put it is to achieve success and then retire at the right time.

"I see. Everyone has his own aspirations. Just let him do as he pleases..."

Qin Bin didn't care much about whether Guo Jia returned to the court or not. The reason was that Yuqin was full of talented people and there was no shortage of top-notch staff officers.

After chatting with Xun Yu for a while, he returned to the palace...

Chapter 533: Departure

While returning to Taihe Palace, Qin Bin also asked about Meng Yuan.

[Qin Bin: What is the situation of that 14-star world? ]

[Dream Wish: The level is a bit high, and the internal situation is basically impossible to detect. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the laws of nature in this world basically have no subjective will, and the flavor of fixed programs is very strong. Based on preliminary judgment, I am very confident that I can play it well. However, it is still a 14-star strength, and risks still exist, especially the material world of this world, which may be a great test for you.]

【Qin Bin: Let’s explore it in more detail. Whether to do it in the end will depend on your judgment.】

[Mengyuan: Oh, okay~ But speaking of it, this does put a lot of pressure on me. ]

【Qin Bin: This can't be helped. I can't get involved in the affairs of the non-material world now, and I can't even match the boundless chaos of the material world. I can't help you share the burden.】

[Dream Wish: That’s right~]

[Qin Bin: Let’s not talk about that for now. It’s been so many years, and your body is still not in good shape? ]

[Mengyuan: No, I finished it not long ago.]

【Qin Bin: Oh? Then why don’t you use it? 】

[Dream Wish: I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but then I found a possibility, so I put it aside for now and thought about researching it. If it works, it will be a great thing.]

【Qin Bin: What are the possibilities?】

[Dream Wish: Hehe~ I won’t tell you yet, I’ll give you a surprise when the time comes - of course, it’s not confirmed yet whether it’s feasible, so you don’t have to expect too much. ]

【Qin Bin: So...】

After chatting with Meng Yuan, Qin Bin returned to Taihe Palace, found Xiaobai and others, and had a midnight snack together. After the meal, in the palace used for moon viewing, while sipping tea and listening to music, Qin Bin talked about the 14-star world with Xiaobai and Edith.

Xiaobai and Edith didn't have any idea about exploring the new world, after all, they were already accustomed to it, but when they heard that it was 14 stars, they were also quite interested.

Xiao Bai said, "Although there are risks, I also agree to take risks."

"I agree with taking risks." Edith agreed, and said, "To be honest, we are in the Boundless Chaos and are not qualified to talk about risk control. We can only seize the opportunity to become stronger. Only when we are strong enough can we further avoid the embarrassing situation of escaping death in the past. However, I prefer Junyu not to do it himself."

Xiaobai nodded, "I think so too, Xiaobin, what do you think?"

Before Qin Bin opened his mouth, Meng Yuan's voice came into the minds of the three people.

[Mengyuan: Your idea is good, but unfortunately, now that I have determined, there is no point in doing this.]

"No point?" Qin Bin and the other two were puzzled.

【Mengyuan: Yes, over the years, with the accumulation of willpower in the sea, the various mechanisms of the willpower system have reached an extremely high level, which has given me a deeper understanding of the law structure of the boundless chaos. Now I can be sure that no matter whether Xiaobin personally acts as a medium or uses a substitute, if something really happens, if the substitute can escape, Xiaobin and we will definitely be able to escape. If the substitute can't escape, then the result is that none of us can escape.

The way to survive by abandoning the double is also not feasible. The double has a connection with us. It is very complicated and time-consuming to erase this connection at a deep level. It is really impossible to operate in a critical moment. And we can't rely on the enemy's weak or non-existent source search function. 】

Xiao Bai said, "So, no matter who becomes the intermediary now, it is equivalent to entrusting our lives and property to this person?"

【Mengyuan: Yes.】

Xiao Bai shrugged, "Well, it would be better for Xiao Bin to be the intermediary as usual."

Edith said, "Since this is the case, let's keep everything as it is. Sister Meng, how is the situation now?"

[Mengyuan: There are no new discoveries for now. It is basically certain that there are no traces of outsiders. The subjective consciousness of the Heavenly Dao is quite weak, so it is easy to attack. If there is no change in the following situation, as long as Xiaobin's information exchange in that world is sufficient, we can attack from both inside and outside, and swallow this world with very little consumption.]

Hearing Mengyuan say this, Xiaobai and Edith looked at Qin Bin.

Qin Bin said, "Mengyuan, you continue to analyze. If the situation remains unchanged, start summoning tomorrow."

[Dream Wish: Oh, OK~]

Qin Bin looked at Xiaobai and Edith, "I will go there alone this time to see what the material world of that world is like."

"Okay." Xiaobai and Edith nodded to show that they understood.

......

The next morning, Qin Bin, Xiaobai and Edith appeared on the island summoning platform.

While doing the pre-activation check of the summoning circle, he chatted about the trivial matters of life. After Meng Yuan said that there were no abnormalities in the target world, Qin Bin began to summon.

This time, Qin Bin and Xiaobai did not bet on the gender of the summoning target. The reason was not because of how stressful the 14-star world was, but simply because they had played this kind of game too much and were temporarily a little bored of it.

"It would be great if the protagonist could come directly this time. That would save a lot of trouble." Xiaobai couldn't help but say this before the summoning circle was opened.

Qin Bin said, "My requirements are not that high. A normal intelligent life form that can communicate is enough."

"Haha..." Qin Bin's words made Xiaobai couldn't help laughing. She remembered that she had summoned a jumping sea fish before, which was a mackerel. Before she and Qin Bin entered that world, they didn't get any useful information.

At this time, Qin Bin also activated the summoning circle.

Xiaobai also stopped smiling, and together with Edith, they stared intently at the glowing center of the formation.

After all, the other side is a 14-star world, so they have to treat it with caution. If some extraordinary existence is summoned, they can react immediately.

The same is true for Qin Bin and Meng Yuan.

As the light dissipated, a middle-aged East Asian man dressed in a suit and tie soon appeared in that eye.

The man was stunned for a moment, then looked flustered, but soon he was distracted by the beauty of Xiaobai and Edith.

Qin Bin waved his hand to freeze the other person's time, making him look like a pig. Then he scanned his memory with one thought, and then said, "An ordinary modern natural person with a passerby background... Mengyuan."

[Dream Wish: Everything is going well, I can be repatriated.]

Qin Bin directly carried out the memory erasure operation and repatriation.

After the middle-aged man disappeared, after waiting for a while, Meng Yuan's voice came.

[Dream Wish: It is a plural universe. How many universes there are is currently unknown. We can only see the Earth in this person's universe. It feels no different from the ordinary Earth in the 21st century. That's good. This way Xiaobin won't be in any danger for a short time after sneaking in. Well, the identity theft and insertion are complete, and we can proceed with the delivery.]

After hearing what Meng Yuan said, Qin Bin changed his imperial uniform into the common modern casual summer clothes with just a thought, and his hair was turned into an ordinary ponytail. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a modern handsome young man.

Qin Bin looked at Xiaobai and Edith, "I'm leaving."

Edith smiled and said, "Be careful."

Xiao Bai said, "Remember not to be too extravagant. If conditions permit, always broadcast live in the family group."

"Yeah." Qin Bin smiled and nodded, then turned around, took a step, and then disappeared...
