"Alright." Ying Zheng said, and followed Meng Ao into the imperial palace. Cai Ze had just come to his senses, and when he saw Ying Zheng and knew that nothing was wrong in the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
The court hall was a little dusty. Ying Zheng was sitting alone under the throne, while Meng Ao and Cai Ze were sitting at the bottom of the stairs. The hall was lined with the King of Qin's personal guards.
Just as Meng Ao said, Ying Zheng had just sat down when a group of court officials walked in noisily, and the most enthusiastic among them were basically his uncles.
"Silence!" Meng Ao straightened up, his authority undeniable. Years of military service had cultivated an aura that naturally overshadowed this group of people. "What's the point of all the noise?! Are you planning a rebellion?!"
The guards around him all understood and shouted angrily, "Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed without mercy!"
For a moment, the chaotic crowd quieted down. Ying Zheng looked at this group of people and felt bored and even a little annoyed.
"The meteorite that fell from the sky today is a sign from heaven to our Qin State. It is extremely disrespectful for Crown Prince Yu Xiaoqi to take over the affairs of state. If it were not for the noble virtue of our late king, it would have landed in Xianyang, in this Xianyang Palace!"
Someone shouted, but the court officials fell into disarray again, finally unifying in their slogan: "We ask the Crown Prince to give up his power as regent and hand over government to the court officials. When the mourning period is over, we will return it to the Crown Prince!"
Ying Zheng looked at the chaotic crowd below. Even if Chen Xuan activated the Dragon Roar, he seemed unable to suppress this group of people.
The guards on all sides took another step forward, their spears slightly tilted forward, as if they were just waiting for the order to charge from the people above.
"I'm a little tired. If anyone makes any more noise, I'll kill them." Ying Zheng's soft voice echoed in the hall. Chen Xuan's roar happened to be effective, calming down this noisy and fanatical crowd, and everyone fell silent.
Ying Zheng leaned against the throne and closed his eyes. For the first time, Chen Xuan protected Ying Zheng behind him. His dragon eyes burned with anger as he stared at Yun Dao who was ready to make a move below.
Meng Ao just stood up and took the long spear given by the guards. A bloody aura hit him in the face, and the court officials finally calmed down.
I don’t know how long it took, the sun seemed to have set, and Wang He finally arrived. He knelt down as soon as he entered and shouted:
"God bless the Great Qin."
Ying Zheng finally opened his eyes, looked at the old general kneeling below, and said softly, "General Wang He, tell me, how did it become God bless the Great Qin?"
"I, your humble servant, dare not speak a single falsehood." Wang He looked up at Ying Zheng. "I, your humble servant, discovered a line of words on that meteorite from outer space, and that is why I sigh, 'God bless the Great Qin!'"
Meng Ao and Cai Ze asked in unison: "What word?!"
"After six generations of Qin, if Prince Zheng were to reign, the world would be united."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the court, and only Ying Zheng watched coldly.
Show off? Humph, I can do that too!
PS
Wang He, also known as Wang Qi, led the army in the early stages of the Battle of Changping, forcing Lian Po to defend the city. Later, Lian Po was replaced by Zhao Kuo, and he was replaced by Bai Qi, becoming his lieutenant. He once led his troops to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao.
After the death of King Zhuangxiang of Qin (Ying Zichu), Wang He, Meng Ao, Biao Gong and others served as generals to assist in the government.
