"Father, look! What's that? It's radiating a strong golden light!"
"That thing...could it be a deity?"
"How strange!"
"What exactly is that thing? Why is it floating in front of that door?"
"Could it really be a deity?"
"A strange phenomenon has occurred! Everyone, kneel down! It's a god descending to earth!"
......
In that instant, the ordinary people who were alarmed had no ability to distinguish between real and fake deities.
They were immediately persuaded to kneel down in the direction of the Imperial Censor's residence.
This kneeling.
Although they didn't suffer much loss.
But for some people in the shadows, it was fantastic news.
This night was different from usual.
The entire sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the usually twinkling and dazzling starlight, not to mention the bright moonlight of the latter half of the night, which had long since disappeared into the abyss of darkness.
Zongzheng Mansion.
The candlelight illuminated the entire study as if it were daytime.
An elderly man with white hair sat in his seat, holding a volume of "Lüshi Chunqiu" in his hand. His face showed some anxiety, as if he was already impatient.
"Tai Shiteng, Li Lin has become very wary after these few rounds of fighting with us. Do you think he will fall for our trap this time?"
"Lord Zongzheng, you must know that no one in this world is perfect, and no gold is pure gold. How could anyone be without any flaws? Based on my careful observation over the years, Li Lin also has weaknesses!"
"Oh? Does he have a weakness? Taishi Teng, you must not be careless. Last time we were too careless, which allowed Li Lin to sit on the throne of prime minister. If we fail again this time, I'm afraid no one in the entire court will be able to stand against him!"
Zongzheng Yinglin was somewhat frightened; the previous encounters had made him increasingly wary of Li Lin.
What if Li Lin really manages to gain a foothold in the imperial court?
Even if the First Emperor suddenly died during this period and Prince Fusu ascended the throne, they would not be able to allow Fusu to change the Qin system to a feudal system.
After all, Li Lin's intentions, expressed both internally and externally, never included any desire for enfeoffment.
To put it bluntly.
Their main concern was that Li Lin would become a figure like Lü Buwei.
At that time, power will be in Li Lin's hands, and Fusu is naturally quiet and not good at vying for power, so he will probably be controlled by Li Lin.
"Lord Zongzheng, there's no need to panic. This time, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't be able to escape. Rest assured, this is a fatal blow; even if he were a god, he couldn't avoid it!"
"real?"
"real!"
"Very well, since you, Taishi Teng, have so confidently assured me, then I will tentatively believe you. Will His Majesty really visit Wang Jian tomorrow?"
"must!"
"Alright, then let's do as you say. This is my seal. You can use this seal to mobilize any assistance you need from the royal family during this period!"
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Zongzheng. I will certainly not let you down!"
Taishi Teng was somewhat grateful, knowing just how important the seal in the old patriarch's hands was.
If it weren't for Lao Zongzheng's absolute trust in him, he would never have handed over this seal.
This seal played an important role in the First Emperor's suppression of Lao Ai's rebellion.
Not only can it mobilize most of the members of the Ying royal family, but it can also constrain the imperial power to a certain extent. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this seal can also mobilize a certain number of troops.
Although they couldn't mobilize a large army, being able to mobilize a corresponding number of troops was already quite remarkable in the Qin Dynasty.
This is much more convenient than the tiger tally. The tiger tally requires two or three pieces to be combined to activate it, while this seal only has one.
"Hmm, I've been waiting for your decisive blow!"
"Rest assured, if Li Lin doesn't die this time, I, Taishi Teng, will bring my head to see Lord Zongzheng!"
Tai Shiteng patted his chest confidently.
He was well aware of the First Emperor's weaknesses, and during this period he believed he understood Li Lin's weaknesses.
He believed that Li Lin was a wolf in sheep's clothing, who liked to deliberately hide his talents but was actually very cunning and would stop at nothing to gain power.
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
He's mistaken.
Li Lin didn't really want to become a high-ranking official; he only retaliated when he was pushed to the limit.
Early the next morning.
Surrounded by eunuchs, the First Emperor practiced Tai Chi.
The thirteen forms that embody the essence of Tai Chi are perfectly embodied in his tall and slender physique.
Whether performing the Thirteen Forms in reverse or in sequence, the entire set of movements flows smoothly without any hesitation.
For a full hour, without stopping.
In his quest to prolong his life, the First Emperor was more proactive than anyone else. He strictly followed Li Lin's orders and never slacked off, demonstrating remarkable willpower.
"Phew, after an hour of fighting, my body feels incredibly comfortable. It seems that this young Li wasn't lying to me. I've only been following his health regimen for a few days, and I already feel so relaxed. It's so wonderful!"
The First Emperor took the silk handkerchief handed to him by the eunuch beside him, wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead, and took a few breaths of the fresh morning air. He was in excellent spirits.
