Ying Zheng looked up at the moon in the sky, then suddenly turned around, clasped his hands together, and knelt down on one knee.
"Please, sir, come down from the mountain and help me!"
Lu Li's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly stepped forward to help Ying Zheng up.
"King Qin, what are you doing?"
"Mr. Lu, I have three wishes in my heart!"
My first wish is for my parents to be healthy and live long lives!
"My second wish is that the Great Qin Dynasty will unify the world, so that the people can live in peace and prosperity!"
"May the Chinese nation prosper forever!"
"I beg Mr. Lu to come out of seclusion and help me!"
Ying Zheng's words immediately gave Lu Li the feeling that a scholar would die for one who understands him. No wonder those strategists and generals in ancient times would follow their monarchs wholeheartedly.
However, he originally intended to serve the Qin state, and his participation in the Hundred Schools Conference was merely to build momentum.
I just didn't expect Ying Zheng to come too, which saved me a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty, please rise. I am willing to dedicate my life to helping you realize your heart's desire."
Upon hearing Lu Li's reply, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Mr. Lu, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
At this moment, the emperor and his minister stood on the high platform, gazing at the full moon in the sky, their eyes filled with excitement.
"Sir, where should our Great Qin go from here?" Ying Zheng asked the question he most wanted to ask.
Now, a year after he ascended the throne of Qin, although he has not yet taken personal control of the government, he already harbors ambitions.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Li replied, "Currently, Lü Buwei holds the reins of power in Qin, wielding immense authority. If Your Majesty wishes to assume personal rule, I fear you will have to wait several more years."
Ying Zheng understood this, after all, he was only thirteen years old. He had been fortunate to have Lü Buwei protect him when he returned to Qin, so Ying Zheng was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.
But now Lü Buwei's power is growing, and he is working with Zhao Ji to control the Qin court. Ying Zheng is now feeling threatened.
"Please enlighten me, sir!" Ying Zheng bowed respectfully, speaking with utmost sincerity.
"Secretly cultivate your own power and win over like-minded people! When the time comes, you can rise to the top!"
Lu Li's few words left Ying Zheng stunned. The Qin state was not yet stable and needed Lu Buwei's help, so Lu Buwei could not be touched.
After all, one was his teacher and the other was his mother, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to accept it.
But he didn't know what Lu Li meant by "the day of change".
Lu Li didn't say it outright. He couldn't very well tell Ying Zheng that his mother was promiscuous in the harem and that Lao Ai was rebelling, could he?
"If a monarch wants to secure his rule over a country, military power is the most important thing."
"Your Majesty should pay more attention to the generals and commanders in the army, such as the Meng family. They have been loyal and virtuous for generations. Meng Tian, a descendant of the Meng family, can be regarded as a confidant by Your Majesty."
"And then there's Wang Jian. Even Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, praised him back then. He should be given an important position in the future!"
Wang Jian was the key figure in the conquest of the six states. It can be said that without Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben, Ying Zheng could not have unified the world in just ten years.
Ying Zheng naturally knew Wang Jian, but his current status was not very high; he was merely a colonel in the Qin state.
The Meng family has been known for its loyalty and virtue for generations. Now, Meng Tian of the Meng family is the same age as him. Lu Li even knew this, which made Ying Zheng even more glad to have met Lu Li today.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir!" Ying Zheng said very respectfully.
"Does my lord know what the most crucial link is in conquering the six kingdoms and unifying the world?" Lu Li asked.
Ying Zheng shook his head in confusion. Although he now had the ambition to become emperor, he did not yet have such a far-sighted vision.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Intelligence!"
Ying Zheng immediately realized that Qin also had intelligence, but it all came from scouts in the army.
"Are you referring to training Deadpool, sir?"
Deadpool does exist in this era, but even Ying Zheng doesn't understand it. He has heard of Deadpool, but usually he puts himself in a life-or-death situation and dies by the enemy's blade.
Lu Li organized his thoughts and said, "If it were me, I would definitely train a group of death servants, each with a poison hidden in their teeth."
"In the event of an inescapable danger, or when captured, to avoid being tortured into confessing, he would bite through poison and die on the spot. That's what makes him Deadpool!"
Ying Zheng was immediately stunned. Could it be that he could do this?
However, after listening to Lu Li's explanation, he had a completely new understanding of Deadpool.
"Deadpool is someone who puts life and death aside, abandoning all fame, fortune, and dignity, fighting and dying only for one person!"
Lu Li's last words struck Ying Zheng's young soul.
It planted a seed in his heart.
"Deadpool... Mr. Lu is talking about the real Deadpool." Ying Zheng murmured softly.
Lu Li nodded and then said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to establish an organization for you to train assassins, called the Black Ice Platform! It will monitor all officials and control intelligence across the six kingdoms!"
Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Ying Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a long time. He knew that Lu Li was right; intelligence was the most crucial element in war.
"If you need help, sir, the Qin state will certainly do everything in its power!"
Ying Zheng's promise may not seem to offer any real help now, but if it were someone else, they would probably just laugh it off.
But Lu Li came from the future, and he was very clear about the course of history.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, I will secretly train a group of assassins, and it's best not to expose them before Your Majesty assumes full power," Lu Li instructed.
The power dynamics in Qin are now complex and intertwined. Externally, the six other states are eyeing Qin covetously, while internally, Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji control the court, and Qin's royal relatives are constantly creating trouble.
