After this sculpture was erected, Ying Zichu truly established himself as the "Emperor of Heaven" and the "Emperor of Black".
These two names will spread across the entire land of China following the Qin State's conquests.
This had no effect on Ying Zheng or Chen Xuan. After all, Ying Zichu was really dead. Even if he was thrown into the beast armor space, the chance of his resurrection was indeed small.
Just as Ying Zichu had secured his throne by using Ying Zheng's name, Ying Zheng now also used Ying Zichu's name to consolidate his royal power, making the power and status in his hands truly unassailable.
"Mengque!"
Meng Que, who had been kneeling on the ground, heard Ying Zheng calling him and quickly stood up and saluted, saying respectfully, "I am here. I wonder what the emperor wants me to do."
At this moment, Meng Que felt nothing but awe and admiration. Even though this emperor was still young, his every move and gesture was unmatched by any other emperor.
In this simple yet conspiratorial era, it is particularly simple and magical for a person to return to his roots or to leave his roots.
"Prepare the carriage. I am going back to Xianyang."
There was no fluctuation in Ying Zheng's voice, as if the person who was so powerful just now was not him. Ying Zheng now seemed particularly ordinary.
"Respect the Emperor's order." Meng Que bowed respectfully and retreated, then ordered the soldiers behind him, "Pass on the Emperor's order, march and return to Xianyang!"
"Send the Emperor's order and return to Xianyang!"
"The Emperor..."
It was only after three such calls that the people outside the Yongcheng Palace heard it and started to get busy.
Ying Zheng walked out with his hands behind his back, leaving the place where he had just displayed his might. Now that he had dealt with everything, he was ready to go back and take over everything.
From the moment he returns to Xianyang, he will no longer have any scruples and will take over everything in Xianyang and everything in the Qin State.
After understanding everything, Ying Zheng decided to fulfill the promise he made with Chen Xuan and turn the entire Shenzhou upside down.
There will always be a brief period of unrest before unification. Even if this unrest has lasted for hundreds of years, in the eyes of Ying Zheng and Chen Xuan, it is still short-lived.
…
In Xianyang City, an unexpected person arrived at Meng Ao's mansion.
Meng Ao looked at the smiling man in front of him, frowned slightly, and asked with a stern face, "I wonder what brings you here, Mr. Yangquan?"
The man in front of him was Yangquan Jun Mi Chen, who had just come out of the Xianyang Palace.
Mi Chen didn't seem to notice Meng Ao, and continued smiling as he said, "It's nothing serious. I just heard that the general seemed to have become a second court, so I thought that as a feudal lord of Qin, I should come and pay my respects."
Meng Ao's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "The name Yangquan Jun is really something I cannot recognize. If Yangquan Jun is only here because of those absurd rumors, then you can go back!"
Although Meng Ao was a little angry, he could not get angry. After all, the man in front of him was the younger brother of Queen Dowager Huayang and a feudal lord of Qin, so he had to give him some face.
This face was naturally not given to Mi Chen, nor to Queen Dowager Huayang. It was only for the sake of Ying Zheng's face that Meng Ao endured it.
Meng Ao was a veteran minister of three dynasties, and even more so of four dynasties under Ying Zheng. He held the position of Shang Qing and also served as the acting general. It was possible that he would serve as the acting prime minister in the future.
Under such circumstances, Meng Ao naturally had no reason to be afraid of Mi Chen, which was also the reason why Mi Chen spoke with a smile.
Compared with Mi Chen, Meng Ao is superior to Mi Chen in terms of loyalty and ability. No matter how to choose, Ying Zheng can only choose Meng Ao.
"I haven't been here long, and the general is already chasing me away?" Mi Chen was still smiling.
Although he was concerned about Ying Zheng and Meng Ao's achievements, he was not someone Meng Ao could manipulate at will. Meng Ao's direct act of sending the guest away more or less made him angry.
"By the way, is the General's mansion so poor? Can't even afford tea?"
Meng Ao looked at Mi Chen, whose smile was extremely fake, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said with a sullen face, "If Lord Yangquan has nothing else to do, you can leave. My tea is very precious, and I don't want to entertain someone with the wrong background."
Having said that, any ordinary person would have walked away, slamming the table. After all, Meng Ao wasn't the only one in Xianyang who had this ability.
Why would you hang on to one person for so long if there were others?
Mi Chen naturally had his own plans. Even though Cai Ze and Wang He were not weaker than Meng Ao, Wang He was still outside Xianyang and had not returned.
Cai Ze was just a civil official and had no military power at all.
In this era, military power represents everything, and the size of the military's strength determines the size of the voice.
Only if Meng Ao agrees, Mi Chen can get the chance to become the prime minister. Otherwise, even if Queen Dowager Huayang recommends him, Mi Chen will never be able to become the so-called prime minister.
Unless Ying Zheng personally nodded, but after hearing what Queen Dowager Huayang meant, Ying Zheng didn't even care about Queen Dowager Huayang, so how could he possibly care about Mi Chen.
Even a figure like Lu Buwei was forced to death by Ying Zheng. Mi Chen thought he was not weak, but in the end he was inferior to Lu Buwei.
For Ying Zheng, what he wanted was someone who was obedient and could do good.
Currently in the Qin court, Mi Chen is probably the only one who can make contributions, but his loyalty is a major flaw.
If the Queen Mother Huayang and Ying Zheng had not fallen out, everything would naturally be fine.
However, the Queen Mother Huayang no longer has a close relationship with Ying Zheng, so how could Ying Zheng trust Mi Chen, a person who was labeled as a member of the Huayang faction?
"Since the General doesn't like me, I'll take my leave."
