Words praising Ying Zheng echoed in the Xianyang Palace, and the ministers' minds calmed down when they saw the Nine Cauldrons.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, accepting praises from his ministers. At this moment, he became the king of the entire Qin Dynasty, or in other words, the god of the Qin Dynasty.
No one would harbor any rebellious thoughts in their hearts. Under such divine might, there was nothing they could do but submit.
When the ministers looked up again, they found that the Nine Cauldrons had disappeared, but there was a bamboo slip next to Ying Zheng.
Smart people already had guesses in their minds, and many of them lowered their eyes, thinking about how to gain Ying Zheng's favor.
Today, Ying Zichu ascended to heaven and proclaimed himself the Emperor of Heaven. No one can say for sure whether Ying Zheng, the so-called Son of Heaven, will also ascend the throne and become the Emperor of Heaven after his death.
After all, judging from Ying Zichu’s ascension to heaven today, it seems that he can carry others to heaven with him!
"Today I ascend the throne and call myself the Son of Heaven. The other nations will certainly be dissatisfied, but they will certainly be intimidated by the might of the Great Qin army and will not dare to invade.
But I am worried that the other nations will form an alliance again and mobilize the strength of dozens of nations to attack Qin. If that happens, will my Great Qin still have a chance of winning? "
The court officials had no idea why Ying Zheng suddenly asked this question. After all, he rarely talked about state affairs on the day he ascended the throne.
On this day, people need to worship their ancestors, pray to heaven and earth, and tell everyone that the throne has been passed down.
This whole process would probably take a day.
Normally, the ceremony of enthroning the throne would not have been as grand as today's. In addition, Ying Zheng did not start in the morning and was delayed for a long time on the road. Although it was still bright outside, it was already dark.
Before the ministers could respond, Ying Zheng continued, "It's getting late. I'll leave this matter for you to consider. I'll adjourn. I'm tired."
After saying this, he stood up and walked to the back without asking the expressions of the court officials below.
The bamboo slips and jade seals surrounding him naturally followed.
From the moment Ying Zheng left, all the light seemed to have disappeared, and Xianyang instantly fell into darkness.
The court officials first cried out in surprise, and then dared not speak loudly again.
There was a "puff" sound, and then the light flashed again.
The guards and maids who had been waiting around the palace also found a tinder and lit the oil lamps, allowing some light to enter the palace.
Meng Ao was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Ying Zheng would at least keep him and Cai Ze, but who knew that he used the excuse that it was getting late to send them all away.
But he was not dissatisfied. After all, it was really late, and he was tired after following Ying Zheng today, so he had to go back and rest.
After greeting Cai Ze, he slowly walked out with Meng Wu without asking any questions to the court officials around him.
Seeing Meng Ao had left, Cai Ze naturally felt that there was no need for him to stay. He smiled slightly and left the palace without looking back, ignoring the noise around him.
Although the remaining court officials wanted to shout loudly to keep the two men, they saw that the guards around them were staring at them, so they did not dare to make any noise and followed them dejectedly.
…
This is the detached palace, where Ying Zichu and Meng Ao used to hold private meetings.
Ying Zheng did not go to the harem to see Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia. The two of them probably had not gone to bed yet and were probably waiting for Ying Zheng.
But the main thing now is not these two people, but Chen Xuan.
"Does Zheng have any doubts?"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Xuan who was getting smaller in front of him, and suddenly felt dazed.
About four years ago, Chen Xuan also appeared before his eyes.
But back then he was just a child with nothing, but now he is an emperor, the most powerful emperor in this land, no doubt about it.
He and Chen Xuan were the only two living beings left in the palace; everyone else had been sent out.
All the guards and maids were sent to the side, and now only Ying Zheng and Chen Xuan were here.
So Ying Zheng doesn't need to be taboo about anything, and Chen Xuan doesn't need to be taboo about anything either.
"Chen Xuan, tell me, what exactly am I? A tool? A commodity? Or a true emperor? The true Son of Heaven?"
Chen Xuan looked at Ying Zheng, who was a little hesitant in front of him, and knew that he already had some distrust in his heart.
After all, no one would trust the murderer of their mother.
"You are the Son of Heaven, the most respected person in the world. In the future, you will unify all of China, all of Kyushu, and then become the Heaven, the Heaven for all."
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Xuan in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and buried his face under the crown.
Chen Xuan sighed and said nothing more. He just stayed there and no longer lay on Ying Zheng's head.
This is a kind of estrangement, and also represents a change in Ying Zheng's identity.
…
At this time, there were still countless soldiers walking around in Lu Buwei's mansion.
Although he knew that Ying Zheng had returned to Xianyang and knelt down to worship the miracle of Ying Zheng's ascension to the throne, if he had not been ordered to stay here, he would probably have gone on a pilgrimage to the center of Xianyang.
Lu Buwei still sat in the courtyard.
He didn't know whether Ying Zheng would settle accounts with him. After all, all his plans had not been implemented and would not be implemented.
Today, Ying Zichu ascends to heaven on a dragon, and Ying Zheng ascends the throne with the power of heaven and earth.
Just based on these two miracles, it was enough to make all the people that Lu Buwei had won over in recent days turn against him, and even turn the tables on him.
"Sir, someone is looking for you outside."
"not see."
Lu Buwei was still sitting on the ground. He didn't need to pay attention to his appearance now.
He is just a lowly businessman, how can he really hold the position of prime minister?
"That man came with the king's order."
Lü Buwei glanced back and saw the servant speaking with his head down. He sighed slightly and ordered, "Please ask him to go to the hall. I will be there soon."
