Chapter 379 Tianxuan: Your Majesty, I will... (Begging for monthly tickets and rewards at the beginning of the month!)

Creak!
When Tianxuan led Yan Fei and Yue Shen's hands to the Sihai Guiyi Hall, no guards showed up, and Zhao Gao, who seemed like Zheng Ge's loyal dog, did not show up either. Amid the harsh sound, the door of the Sihai Guiyi Hall, which was several feet high and countless people in the world wanted to step into but never had the chance, slowly opened.

As the palace door opened, clear light seeped out from the palace and fell into the eyes of Tianxuan and his wife. They had already gotten used to the darkness, and for a moment they were unable to adjust to this strong light.

"come in!"

After a few breaths, Tianxuan let his eyes adjust to the bright light. At this time, Zheng Ge's calm and confident voice sounded, summoning Tianxuan and his wife to enter the hall.

[If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, you can't avoid it! 】

Tianxuan took a deep breath, repeated these words silently in his heart, and stepped into the Four Seas Return to One Hall.

Swish!
When Tianxuan and his wife entered the palace, they saw the eldest son of the empire: Fusu, wearing a plain robe, standing in front of the pond with koi. On the scarlet carpet leading directly to Zhengge's throne, there was a man kneeling, dressed in black. In the clear light, the crow feathers dotted on his robe trembled. Although he didn't see his face, Tianxuan knew it must be a black crow.

In addition to Fusu and Mo Ya, there was also an old man in his forties or fifties in the hall, with half white hair and beard, tall stature, and a resolute face.

The Great Qin Emperor, Ying Ze!
Tianxuan, as an important official of the empire, recognized the old man and was secretly surprised.

[Although the Zongzheng is one of the Nine Ministers, his main function is to distinguish the legitimate and illegitimate status of the royal family or the blood relationship with the emperor. If a royal family member is guilty, he should first report to the Zongzheng, who will then report to the emperor, and then he can be punished leniently. Why did your majesty call him here, and Fusu and Mo Ya? Why is there something wrong? ]

Tianxuan thought that what awaited him when he entered the palace this time would be a Hongmen Banquet or a murder without any cover-up. Unexpectedly, when he really came to Zhengge, he saw the three people who were not supposed to be there, namely, Zongzheng Yingze, Mo Ya, and the eldest son Fusu.

Bang!
Although he didn't know why Zheng Ge had called these three people, Tian Xuan's instinct as a master made him feel that the seemingly empty Four Seas Return to One Hall was filled with murderous intent. Once he made any unusual moves, he would be surrounded and killed by many masters. When he brought Yan Fei and Yue Shen to the center of the Four Seas Return to One Hall and was one step ahead of Mo Ya, Tian Xuan let go of Yan Fei and Yue Shen's hands, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground.

"Your humble servant Tian Xuanzi pays homage to His Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever!"

"Your humble servant Yan Fei/Moon Goddess pays homage to His Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever!"

Yan Fei and Yue Shen saw that Tian Xuan had knelt down, and following Tian Xuan's movements, they bowed down to the great emperor at the end of the hall, with a look of respect on their cheeks that was difficult to tell whether real or fake.

Facing the kowtow of Tianxuan and his wife, Zheng Ge, who was sitting on the dragon chair at the end of the hall, did not immediately order them to stand up. His eyes were slightly fixed, and a deep gaze flowed from Zheng Ge's eyes, falling impartially on Tianxuan and his wife. However, there was no murderous intent in his eyes, and there was even a hint of kindness.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to conquer Shushan and subdue 5,691 Shushan people." Kneeling at Zhengge's feet, Tianxuan was convinced and had no dissatisfaction. He began to report this mission to Zhengge in detail, "Order Li Kai, the governor of Shu County, to select 300 people with the most exquisite brocade weaving skills from the Shushan people to form a weaving workshop controlled by our Great Qin government. The weaving workshop was completed before I returned to Guanzhong. In the future, 10,000 pieces of exquisite Shu brocade will be sent to Guanzhong every year to become tribute for the Qin royal family. The remaining Shushan people will be divided into groups of 100 and dispersed to various places in Shu County!..."

Although Tianxuan knew that Zheng Ge must have known everything he was telling him now. But at this point, whether Zheng Ge knew it or not was one thing, and whether he would tell it or not was another. Tianxuan's loud voice echoed in the Four Seas Return to One Hall, with a power that shook the mind, as if to pull everyone in the Four Seas Return to One Hall into the story he was telling. "Your Majesty, this is the Hongming Sword!"

Click!

After saying everything that needed to be said, Tianxuan's right hand fell on the simple scabbard of the Hongming Sword, took out the precious sword made of two pieces of wood, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Zheng Ge on the dragon throne.

"On my way back to Xianyang, I was attacked by Yanri, a traitor of the Mohist school and Luowang's top assassin. I was saved by this peerless divine sword!"

Zheng Ge, who was sitting on the dragon throne, listened to everything Tian Xuan said, secretly compared it with the information he had obtained, and confirmed that Tian Xuan had not concealed anything from him, and a touch of satisfaction appeared on his handsome face. When Tian Xuan held up the Hongming Knife with both hands, as if he was going to hand it over, Zheng Ge's eyes, which were powerful enough to pierce everything, changed slightly.

"Tianxuan, although I watched you grow up." Zheng Ge did not order anyone to fetch the Hongming Sword for him, and said leisurely, "Over the years, I have treated you well, so much so that many people think that you are my adopted son who I have not officially accepted. However, with your wisdom, you should understand what it means for the Hongming Sword, a divine weapon comparable to the Xuanyuan Sword, to recognize you as its master!"

"I understand." Tianxuan raised his head with a sincere expression, "It means that I am the true owner of the Hongming Sword predicted by Emperor Xuanyuan thousands of years ago, and I have posed a threat to your majesty and the empire. To be honest, in the first few days after I obtained the Hongming Sword, I did think about whether I should just rebel."

“Brother Tianxuan!”

Fusu, who had a very good relationship with Tianxuan and was as close as a brother to him, was so frightened when he heard this that his cheeks turned pale and he screamed out.

"Then, why didn't you rebel?" Zheng Ge was not angry at all when he heard Tianxuan's rebellious words, and asked with interest.

Tianxuan knew that whether he could survive depended on whether he could convince Brother Zheng. Therefore, although Yan Fei and Yue Shen on both sides cast worried eyes at him, Tianxuan still decided to speak his mind:

"First, the world has just been unified. Although Your Majesty is maintaining the two major projects of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum and the Great Wall, the people of the world have achieved peace. If I were to rebel, I would not be popular!"

"Secondly, I believe in Your Majesty. I have gained the recognition of Hongming Sword. Just like the prophecy that is believed, it exists and not believed, it does not exist. The threat to Your Majesty is too vague!"

"Thirdly, I have received great favor from Your Majesty. To be honest, I have received Your Majesty's favor since I was a child," Tianxuan stated in front of Zhengge the reasons why he did not want to rebel. As soon as he started to talk about the third point, Yanfei and Yueshen, the two girls accompanying Tianxuan on both sides, blushed.

There is no other reason. The kindness that Tianxuan received from Brother Zheng in his childhood was directly expressed through these two.

"Over the years, although your majesty's treatment of me has nothing to do with kindness, I have always kept your kindness in my heart. Just as those gossipers have said, I, an orphan, subconsciously regard your majesty as my foster father who has shown me great kindness!"

At the end of his words, Tianxuan's eyes revealed infinite sincerity as he stared at the emperor on the throne, just like a son looking at his father!
