Chapter 226: Solved Doubts (asking for monthly tickets and rewards!)
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.
"Your humble servant Tian Xuanzi pays homage to His Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever!"
The war to destroy Yan was as easy as taking something out of a bag. However, the journey did take up a lot of time. When Tianxuan returned to Guanzhong, most of the troops that were originally ordered to attack Chu had returned. The old Qin people who had fought for many years finally returned to their hometown and reunited with their long-lost relatives.
Only the old general Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben led an army of 100,000 to the east to Qi State. The army pressed on the border and the reputation of Wang Jian and his son shocked Qi State. The five countries were destroyed, and Qi State was isolated and helpless. Even if Tian Ji and Sun Bin were resurrected, they would not be able to turn the tide in such a situation. Qi Wang Jian could sit on the throne of Qi for more than 40 years, so he was certainly not a fool.
If they resist, Qi will be destroyed and the Tian family will be massacred; if they do not resist, Qi will also be destroyed, but the Tian family can be preserved to the greatest extent.
The choice before King Jian of Qi was that he had no choice.
Tianxuan, who returned triumphantly, went to the palace to meet the emperor immediately and knelt at Zhengge's feet. He sincerely offered his most sincere respect to the great emperor who was about to unify the world and lay the foundation for China's territory.
In the huge royal palace, there was no one else except Zheng Ge on the throne and Tian Xuan kneeling in the palace.
Zheng Ge, who was sitting on the throne, was still wearing a royal robe with tassels dangling from his head, as if this most outstanding king in the history of the Qin State had nothing else to wear. Facing Tian Xuan who was kneeling at his feet, Zheng Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, and his clear eyes fell on Tian Xuan like the water of the Milky Way pouring down from the sky.
In an instant, even though Tianxuan is no longer the same person he used to be and has walked on the edge of life and death countless times, he still felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by an evil dragon.
【By the way, Brother Zheng is indeed an evil dragon, and an ancestor dragon at that! 】
Tianxuan knew better than anyone that if Zhengge wanted to kill him, not to mention that he was still at the third level of martial arts: Lihe Realm, even if he was at Huiyang Realm or Qianyuan Realm, it would not be much more difficult than crushing an ant. Under Zhengge's death gaze, Tianxuan's mind was churning, and he secretly thought of finding joy in suffering.
"Tianxuanzi, you accurately judged Xiong Qi's betrayal, put down Xiong Qi's rebellion, captured Shouchun, and made the first contribution in the war against Chu." After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Ge spoke in a solemn tone, elaborating on Tianxuan's contributions in the process of Qin's unification of the world, "suppressing the rebellion in Yingchuan County, training a new type of cavalry - the Black Dragon Cavalry, and also making great contributions in the war to destroy Yan. You personally killed Dai Wangjia, making Dai a mess, and it was easily conquered by Qin."
"I remember all these things in my heart!"
"Kings."
At this critical juncture when the Qin Dynasty was about to, or had already, unified the world, Tianxuan felt strange when he heard Zheng Ge still referring to himself as "I" and took the initiative to speak out.
"I believe that the feudal system of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties caused constant disputes among the princes. At that time, the territory that the emperors of the three dynasties could truly control was no more than a thousand miles in radius. Your Majesty has unified the world and destroyed all the countries. You should change your title and self-proclaimed name to show your great achievements."
When Zheng Ge heard this, he became interested and asked with great interest: "Tian Xuanzi, what title do you think I should use?"
"Your Majesty, you have swept across the world and unified the country. You have annihilated the barbarians and brought glory to China. Your achievements in civil and military affairs will be passed down for thousands of years. The foundation of the world begins with you. Under your rule, the world will become a completely unified whole. You will no longer be a spiritual leader in name only like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the rulers of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. You can be said to have the virtues of the Three Sovereigns and the achievements of the Five Emperors!"
Tianxuan raised his head and looked at the emperor on the throne with fiery eyes.
"I think that Your Majesty should take the title of Emperor and call yourself 'I'." Tianxuan's words may be flattering, but they are indeed from the heart. In the previous life, countless people criticized Zheng Ge and even thought that the unification of China was a mistake. However, no one dared to deny that it was because of Zheng Ge's existence that China, which was originally just a loose alliance, had the concept of 'great unification'.
Over the past two thousand years, even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Five Barbarians' Invasion and the numerous kingdoms after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no matter how long the division lasted, they all eventually unified.
At the same time, this is also Tianxuan's last test on Zheng Ge, testing whether Zheng Ge is another time traveler!
Over the years, Tianxuan had intentionally or unintentionally tested Zhengge many times. Zhengge's behavior did not seem like a time traveler; however, in some subtle ways, Zhengge was very much like a time traveler. For example, the birth of paper and printing, and Han Fei's important use by Zhengge, etc. If Zhengge was really a time traveler, he would be familiar with the title of "Emperor"!
"Emperor? I?" Zheng Ge murmured the title and self-proclaimed name proposed by Tianxuan. A hint of excitement appeared on his handsome face, but the understanding that Tianxuan thought should have appeared did not appear.
tread!tread!tread!
Accompanied by murmurings, Zheng Ge began to pace on the high platform where the throne was located. The sound was particularly crisp as it was blocked by the magnificent palace.
"That's right. From now on, I am the emperor." After a long time, Zheng Ge stopped pacing on the high platform and accepted the title and appellation proposed by Tian Xuan. Then, his eyebrows showed interest, "I am the first emperor, and future generations will count by me, the second, third, and even ten thousand generations, and it will be passed down forever!"
[It seems that Zheng Ge is indeed not a time traveler. He has probably just come into contact with a time traveler.]
Hearing Zhengge's arrogant words, Tianxuan lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to face the First Emperor directly, with this thought flashing through his mind.
[Wait, what if Zheng Ge had contact with another time traveler? Han Fei, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu are still alive today, is it the work of another time traveler? Then, where is the other time traveler now? ]
After Tianxuan was sure that Zhengge was not another time traveler, his doubts were finally resolved, but a series of questions arose from the bottom of his heart. He felt that this world that should have been familiar was shrouded in endless fog, making it impossible for him to see clearly.
………………
Zhangtai Palace, the harem.
"Brother, please."
Zheng Ge's favorite concubine: Li Ji, looked at her son Tianming who was held in the arms of a middle-aged and ugly eunuch with reluctance, and cried.
At this time, there was no one else in Li Ji's bedroom except Li Ji and the middle-aged eunuch. Li Ji had taken off her complicated and gorgeous palace skirt and put on a coarse linen shirt, but it still couldn't hide her natural beauty.
"Junior sister, let's go together!"
This middle-aged eunuch is Han Shen, Li Ji's other senior brother besides Jing Ke, her childhood sweetheart and a senior brother whom she loves. After Jing Ke's death, Han Shen, who also loves Li Ji, has always wanted to sneak into the palace to rescue Li Ji and her son. Until today, after paying the price of losing everything and pulling out all his beards, Han Shen finally entered the palace and met his senior sister Li Ji, whom he had not seen for many years.
