Ying Ziyu transmigrated. A purple lightning strike caused him to become Qin Shi Huang's nineteenth son.
It was a hellish start. Just after birth, a treacherous minister planned to swap hi...
The Grand Master looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think Qin lacks most right now?"
Ying Zheng looked at him calmly, "Judging from your tone, you must have figured it out already, so you naturally know better than I what Qin lacks."
Ying Zheng was a smart man, and he immediately understood the Grand Master's implied meaning.
This guy didn't really want to know what Qin lacked; he just wanted to say that he had prepared what Qin lacked, so that he would have leverage in negotiations.
As for what conditions this guy wanted to make, Ying Zheng still had no idea.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is truly wise. In my opinion, what the Great Qin lacks most right now is strength."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, "Power?"
He now has some doubts about whether the Qin Dynasty is currently lacking in strength.
If we're talking about weakness, then the Qin Dynasty did indeed pay a huge price in unifying the six states. Zou Yan was gone, and Zhang Han was gone. These were all top-notch generals, whose mere names were enough to strike fear into the hearts of all sides.
But with the little guy's help, Fusu and Ying Liu have both grown greatly. Their strength should not be considered weak, right?
After all, when Fusu was attacking the Xiongnu, he kept saying that the Xiongnu had traps, and he directly leveled the mountains.
Someone capable of doing something like this must be quite capable.
Ying Liu was also extraordinary, especially the evil spirit accompanying him, who seemed quite powerful. Last time, when facing those two treacherous cultivators, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he slaughtered them indiscriminately.
If his followers are so powerful, then his own strength must be beyond question.
Especially the strange flute he sometimes carries, whose power seems not to be underestimated.
There was also a young Hu Hai, who once said he would become a master who would suppress an era, and he even became a disciple of Gai Nie, so his strength was beyond question.
Now, with the addition of Wang Jian, who has awakened his power, he has once again become the invincible Qin general who fought across the six kingdoms. Even the Soul Reaper, who had cultivated for a thousand years, was defeated in one blow and fled in disarray, almost losing his life.
With these people around, could Qin be considered weak?
Seeing Ying Zheng's doubts, the Grand Master continued, "If it were the Qin Dynasty before it unified the six kingdoms, it certainly wouldn't be considered weak. After all, back then, whether it was Meng Tian, Zhang Han, or even General Wang Jian who could stand alone, any one of them could suppress a region."
"Not to mention that Zou Yan, the founder of the Yin-Yang School, also submitted to His Majesty and became a part of the Great Qin, which is beyond doubt!"
The world's powers were well aware of just how formidable the Qin Dynasty was at its peak.
Even the other six states dared not easily offend them. If it weren't for the alliance of three and two states, they wouldn't dare to challenge Qin at all.
Mozi continued, "But despite possessing such formidable strength, the Qin Dynasty did not choose to protect itself, but instead took the initiative to launch a war and began its plan to annex other major powers."
"Although the Qin Dynasty had many fierce generals, other countries also had countless strong warriors. The Qin Dynasty still fought against six of them, which was undoubtedly a self-destructive act in the eyes of everyone at the time."
At this point, a hint of admiration appeared in the Grand Master's eyes. "But under your leadership, the Great Qin fought its way out of a desperate situation, found a glimmer of hope in the face of adversity, and finally unified the six kingdoms, burying countless powerful kings and rulers, and ultimately becoming the ruler of this world."
Although he didn't think highly of the Qin Dynasty, he still held Ying Zheng in high esteem as a person.
After all, as the leader of the Mohist school, he was also a leader who commanded the entire Mohist school.
Ying Zheng was the leader who ruled the Qin Dynasty.
As a fellow leader, he knew very well how difficult it was for Ying Zheng to turn the tide and unify the world in the face of countless powerful figures from the six states. The fact that this emperor accomplished something almost impossible showed how formidable his methods were.
Therefore, there is also a sense of mutual respect and admiration among heroes.
The leader of the Mohist school said, "Although the unification was completed, the strength of the Qin Dynasty was greatly reduced. Not only did Wang Jian and Meng Tian sacrifice their strength in the life-and-death battle, but the current strength is not comparable to that before. Even the strongest assistant, Zou Yan, has died."
"Even the great mage Xiaoyao, who was known as a genius Buddhist cultivator, has seen his strength plummet due to the life-or-death battle and can now only be considered of average strength. Your Majesty should know all this better than I do, right?"
The Mohists were very good at intelligence gathering, far surpassing other schools of thought. Therefore, the leader of the Mohists knew a great deal of information that others did not.
Ying Zheng stared at him with a calm gaze, his expression unreadable. "What exactly do you want to say?"
He always managed to conceal his emotions very well, and he would never reveal the slightest weakness in front of potential enemies who might become troublesome.
The leader of the Mohist school's eyes darkened slightly. "Now that the Qin Dynasty is weak and many forces are watching from the shadows, wanting a share of the pie, isn't the Qin Dynasty's greatest weakness strength?"
The allure of the world is immense for any powerful individual.
After all, those in high positions are not lacking in money and beautiful women. The only thing that can still motivate them is power and reputation. The reputation gained by controlling the world is priceless.
However, the strength required to obtain such an honor is immeasurable.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at the leader of the Mohist school and asked, "So you can give power to the Qin Dynasty?"
He could tell that the Grand Master's long speech was simply an attempt to leverage power in order to negotiate with the Qin Dynasty.
The Grand Master smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is indeed different from others."
Communicating with intelligent people is always a pleasant experience. You only need a little hint to understand what they want to say, and everyone understands without any effort.
He then waved his hand, and a mechanical figure jumped out and stood in front of everyone.
The mechanical figure looked like it was made of some special material. Although it was the size and height of a human, it had no facial features and was crystal clear all over, making it look like something valuable.
But what caught people's attention the most was the armor on the mechanical figure, which was engraved with mysterious patterns that resembled some kind of ferocious beast. The patterns emitted a faint luster, which was quite unusual.
The leader of the Mohist school looked at Ying Zheng with pride, "This is the latest armor developed by the Mohist school. It's impervious to swords and spears, and it's definitely a great way to enhance the strength of Qin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jian appeared in front of the automaton, his spear sweeping across with tremendous force, unleashing boundless power that instantly shattered the armor and the automaton together.
Ying Zheng's eyes turned slightly cold. "Invulnerable to swords and spears?"
Upon seeing this, both the leader of the Mohist school and Bai Ling were dumbfounded, staring at the scene with disbelief, and exclaimed, "How is this possible?!"
