Chapter 234 A Shocking Decision

"Congratulations, Wushuang-kun."

"From today on, we should call you Jun Shang."

"Generals, your words are too polite. Please continue to call me Tian Xuan Zi!"

……

The court meeting was over, and the civil and military officials dispersed in groups of three or five according to their closeness to each other. Wang Wan, Han Fei, Li Si and other civil officials who were entrusted with important official duties by Zheng Ge walked towards the government office at a rapid pace, striving to complete the tasks assigned by Zheng Ge in the shortest possible time. Tian Xuan, who felt that his legs were a little floating, walked on the white marble steps in a daze, as if a pie fell from the sky.

After walking a few steps, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Li, Zhang Han and other generals came over one after another. A group of generals who had fought on the battlefield looked at Tian Xuan with envy and jealousy from the bottom of their hearts, and more congratulations, either sarcastic or sincere words, uttered from the mouths of these soldiers.

Tianxuan knew very well that his contribution to the Qin State was worthy of a golden statue, but he had not been in the government for long. If he really became arrogant, he would soon be swallowed up by the court full of undercurrents and murderous intentions. Tianxuan, who was canonized as the Peerless Lord by Zhengge, did not dare to put on airs and behaved in a down-to-earth manner.

[It seems that Tian Xuanzi understands it quite well! ]

When the generals saw Tianxuan's performance, they all nodded secretly, and the slight grudge they had towards Tianxuan disappeared.

tread!tread!tread!
The generals were joking and laughing with each other, and unknowingly arrived at the palace gate. Unlike the civil officials who liked to ride in sedan chairs or cars, the generals including Tianxuan preferred to ride horses. The servants and followers who were guarding the horses saw their masters leaving the palace and hurriedly led their mounts forward.

"Generals, goodbye." Tianxuan, who was surrounded by generals, bowed and clasped his fists towards the generals, with an apologetic look on his face.

Snapped!
Zhang Han, who was very brave and strong, slapped Tian Xuan on the shoulder and said, "General Tian, ​​remember to treat us to a drink some other day!"

"That's right. You have taken away the honor of the last golden man. I have to treat you to a drink anyway."

"When the time comes, I will definitely indulge in eating."

……

As soon as Zhang Han said this, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Wang Li started to make a fuss.

"Sure!" Tianxuan agreed immediately, "I will host a banquet at Tianxuan Temple tonight, everyone remember to come and show up."

"It's a word."

Having successfully extorted a banquet from Tianxuan, the generals were very proud of themselves. They mounted their horses triumphantly and went home.

Crackling!

After bidding farewell to the generals, Tianxuan moved his waist and limbs, making the bones in his body make a sound like frying beans. At this time, the followers brought Tianxuan's mount, Huoyun, to his side. As time passed, Huoyun, who was once very majestic and could travel a thousand miles a day, had lost his clear eyes due to his age, and his breath became much heavier.

"Lord Wushuang, His Majesty has summoned you."

Just as Tian Xuan was about to get on his horse, a eunuch suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost and whispered, "Your Majesty summoned me?"

Tianxuan was surprised to hear the eunuch's words.

[Hasn't everything been ordered? Brother Zheng, why do you still want to see me? ]

………………

"Your humble servant Tian Xuanzi pays respect to Your Majesty."

Led by the eunuch, Tianxuan, who was about to leave the palace, returned to Zhangtai Palace and came to the study room where Zhengge summoned all the ministers to discuss matters. Although it was called a study room, it was actually a side hall. In addition to Zhengge himself, there were several other people.

Left Prime Minister Wang Wan, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, State Commander Wei Liao, Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian, Marquis of Tongwu Wang Ben, General Meng Wu, plus Court Judge Li Si, Imperial Censor Han Fei, Prince Fusu, and Tianxuan, the newly crowned Unparalleled Lord by Zheng Ge, are all prominent figures in the court. Tianxuan, who entered the study room the latest, saw these important officials of the Qin Dynasty, and said to himself while saluting Zheng Ge.

[This is probably what is called "small matters are attended by big court meetings, big matters are attended by small court meetings!"]

"No need to pay tribute."

Zheng Ge glanced at Tian Xuan and gave a casual instruction. The attention of the Great Qin Shi Huang was attracted by a cowhide map. Tian Xuan was curious and looked at the cowhide map. The complicated patterns came into his eyes. On the map, mountains and rivers were drawn, and counties were marked one by one.

There are thirty-five counties in total, including Sanchuan, Hedong, Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiujiang, Zhangjun, Kuaiji, Yingchuan, Xijun, Sishui, Xuejun, Dongjun, Langya, Qijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Daijun, Julu, Handan, Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Yanmen, Shangjun, Longxi, Beidi, Hanzhong, Bajun, Shujun, Qianzhong, and Changsha, which together with the Internal History make thirty-six counties.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each county could be considered a considerable vassal state.

"My dear ministers, I intend to revise the Qin laws, recruit the various schools of thought to the court, and abolish the military merit system established by Shang Yang for our Great Qin!"

Tianxuan was the last person Zheng Ge was waiting for. After everyone arrived, Zheng Ge continued to look at the map showing the territory of the Great Qin Empire, as if he wanted to completely step on this beautiful land that belonged to him. He reluctantly withdrew his gaze, looked back at the ministers, and spoke a shocking word.

Boom!

When Zheng Ge said this, his voice was not loud, but it fell into the ears of a group of important officials of the Qin Dynasty, including Tianxuan. Everyone felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Tianxuan only felt that the most powerful chaos thunder in the prehistoric world exploded above his head, and his feet staggered. After finally standing firm, he felt that something was wrong beside him. General Meng Wu's face turned pale and his whole body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly supported him.

[Your Majesty, after more than ten years, have you finally understood the three questions that 'he' asked you back then? ]

Outside the study, as soon as Tianxuan stepped into Zhengge's private study, the eunuchs, palace maids and guards around them were all driven away. Zhengge's best swordsman, Gai Nie, was the one who personally guarded the room and did not allow anyone to approach.

Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!

Gai Nie is always silent around Zheng Ge, like a tool without emotion and self-awareness, only knows to follow the orders of his master, Zheng Ge, to eliminate threats for Zheng Ge, snipe assassins, and not interact with anyone. The reason why Gai Nie does this is that as Zheng Ge's personal bodyguard, if he gets too close to others, he will lose his value to Zheng Ge.

However, this does not mean that Gai Nie is really a tool without emotions and thoughts!
Hearing the words coming from the cracks in the door and window, Gai Nie's calm and tough heart trembled, ripples appeared, and this thought arose. Then, a figure that he and Zheng Ge had come into contact with more than ten years ago appeared in front of him. It was mysterious and unpredictable, like the master of darkness, and as hard to guess as the incarnation of God.

The changes in his mood were reflected in his body. Gai Nie raised his head to the sky. He was not afraid of the burns in his eyes. He stared at the rising sun in the east. He felt that the future of the Qin Empire was just like this rising sun, full of vigor and vitality. It would surely dominate the world and shine on the earth!
