When the figure on the altar came from here, the steps slowly returned.

Even though his pace was not hurried or slow, Qin Zheng's tall and straight figure really caught the eyes of many nobles.

Even if his face is covered with blood, even if his clothes are torn and full of holes.

It's also harmless.

It didn't last for a moment.

The continuous calls of King Zhao showed the answer in the minds of these powerful people.

The young man who has not yet reached the crown defeated the prestigious Wu Mujun head-on, even though not long ago, he was just a medium.

But when he got the recognition of King Yong of Zhao Wu, he stimulated the blood flowing in his body, and then supplemented it with such a powerful record.

Looking at Zhao Wangcheng, there is no one who is more suitable for the position of King Zhao than him.

Even if there is a gathering today, there are only dozens of high officials from the surrounding areas and the royal city.

But half of them shouted towards that figure: "King Zhao!"

Qin Zheng.

It’s a complete transformation!

From today on, he is no longer a cautious and cautious person.

Rather, he is a true king who has been in the world of this earth and has traveled across all nine states!

He looked at the young man whose destiny had completely taken a different path through his own hands.

Ji Qiu touched his chin and pondered for a long time. Thinking of Qin Zheng's soft words of relief after suppressing Lord Wu Mu, he couldn't help but smile:

"Somewhat useful?"

"Of course it works."

"It's of great use."

The Zhao family is the site of the Fourth War, bordering the ancient Yan in the north, the Western Qin, the Three Jins, and the distant Jiang Qi in the east.

If you have a deep foundation and a desire to conquer the world, this is the perfect starting point.

When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he wanted to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented by the death of King Yong of Zhao Wu and directly borrow weapons from all directions to try for the throne.

How could a young man so full of ambition stop here?

His future will be the entire Kyushu!

Even.

Ji Qiu's eyes were deep, looking slightly towards the vast sky.

Previously.

Dong Jun once calculated that Qin Zheng would inherit the throne of Zhao. Looking at it now, although there were twists and turns in the process, it did not harm the overall situation and the result was accurately calculated.

As for what follows, it’s his so-called unpredictable events.

According to what he said, it will happen after Qin Zheng succeeds to the throne of Zhao King.

"Let me take a look."

"What kind of thing is it?"

The heavy ancient bell of the royal city rang.

It was as if we were welcoming the new born king.

Ji Qiu just stopped and watched.

But the thoughts in my heart, at this moment, have already drifted into the distance.

One drizzly morning.

The rain washed away some dust on the glazed jade bricks, and dripped gently along the high eaves.

Zhao Palace.

In the new king's bedroom, under the black gold throne, there were two people sitting opposite each other.

Wearing a mysterious robe, even though his face is a bit young, the young man is already quite majestic. Listening to the sparse sound of rain outside, his tone is a little heavy:

"Sir, do you think I did the right thing?"

This young man is Qin Zheng.

More than a month ago, the whole city was moved by him. Witnessed by millions of people, he ascended to the highest throne.

And spread this shocking news to all directions.

However, after the initial high spirits, a very practical problem was placed in front of Qin Zheng.

That is, how should he become a true king?

When Qin Zheng and Ji Qiu were practicing, they read through the Taiping Sutra and had longed for the great world where everyone was like a dragon, as the teacher said.

One of the reasons why he became this king was because the ambition and fire in his heart, combined with the casual words of Zhao Wu Wang Yong, were completely ignited, and he was no longer willing to be mediocre.

The second is that I want to do something truly great in this era, so as to wash away the cautiousness and anonymity of the first half of my life.

What you think and what you do are often very different.

When Qin Zheng really took action and wanted to turn his ideal into reality, he discovered that things were not as simple as he thought.

Some things cannot be completely solved by relying on absolute strength.

For example, the current situation in Zhao State.

In the land of the Zhao family, the boundary between ordinary people and divine blood is not so clear.

But compared to this, what is more serious is that many martial nobles who have extraordinary powers have become entangled and inexhaustible.

Although this is a situation that exists in every country, it is particularly serious in Zhao State.

That is, the ministers and scholars of the Zhao family all have fiefdoms!

For thousands of years, apart from this royal city, all the large and small cities, as well as the mountains and forests, have long been owned by their owners. In other words, as a king who enjoys all glory, Qin Zheng has no power in his hands.

Once you reach the royal city, it's just useless paper.

Such a situation is completely different from his imagination of speaking of the Heavenly Constitution and changing the situation with just one word.

So he made an extremely bold decision.

Eliminate redundant ministers!

He wanted to gather back into his own hands those things controlled by the ministers, and then implement political reform step by step, slowly moving towards the ideal country in his heart.

But during this process, Qin Zheng looked around and found that there was no one available.

The great Sima Yu Xiang helped him ascend the throne in order to consolidate his own prestige and that of his faction.

General Zhao Wuling

Although he inherited the legacy of King Yong of Zhao Wu and helped himself ascend the throne.

But in fact, his own existence represents the status of a martial noble. He is even a feudal lord, with seven big cities and towns under his name, almost the most among the public ministers.

Even if he doesn't care about this, it's impossible for the generals under his command to be as indifferent to fame and fortune as he is.

Therefore, since Qin Zheng came to the throne, he has almost nowhere to show his fists and kicks.

At the end of the day, he could only look to Ji Qiu for discussion.

The young king expressed his thoughts and then thought about the world, frowning and saying nothing.

He was a little confused.

Because Qin Zheng didn't know whether the kind of worldly society that Ji Qiu described to him was correct, or whether the current unchanging era was correct.

This has been the case since ancient times.

It is precisely because of this that it is too difficult to change.

Qin Zheng sighed.

At this time, Ji Qiu seemed to understand what he was thinking, and his tone was rich and calm:

"Azheng, you should have a weighing scale in your mind whether you did the right thing or not."

"But when you are indecisive, sir, I can tell you something."

"That is, it has always been like this, and it may not be right."

Ji Qiu stood up and looked at the hazy rain curtain outside the hall:

"There is no time that could be worse than now."

"I once told you about Xuan Shang's deeds. That dynasty was extremely glorious, but it still had many shortcomings."

"So it fell to the heavens and was destroyed in the hands of Emperor Zhou."

"You are living in this era and have a destiny on your shoulders. There are some things that cannot be avoided. As your husband, my greatest expectation for you is that you can achieve an unprecedented foundation."

"Ban the titles of mortals and divine blood, and give them the unified name from long ago."

"people."

When Ji Qiu's eyes were calm and he looked directly at Qin Zheng, the young king seemed to be aware of the attention of the abyss.

"Sir, your strength has improved again." Qin Zheng couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart as he leaned over to listen.

And then, the voice of the man in white in front of him slowly brushed his ears:

"No one is available, but it's not necessarily possible."

"Azheng, as long as you want."

"Hundreds of schools of thought, great sages traveling around the world, and great talents in the royal city can all be used by you."

"You may not know what your appearance means, but I do."

"You are the only hero in this world who has the potential to change everything."

"Planning the foundation for eternity is not something you can accomplish in a day, you should work on it slowly."

"If you can't get it right in one step, then take your time, one year, five years, ten years or even six years!"

Ji Qiu's voice gradually became louder:

"It always works!"

The final word.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng was immediately speechless.

But Ji Qiu walked to the front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back. Without stopping, he continued to speak while the iron was hot:

"Just go ahead and do it."

"Sir will always stand behind you."

"The leader of the Yin-Yang family, Mr. Dongjun, the Zongheng lineage, Mr. Guigu, it's time to introduce him to you."

"also."

Ji Qiu's lips curled slightly:

"I used the method of communication to send messages to distant places."

"A great cause is about to begin, and everything is waiting to be done. How can we not have talented people to help us?"

"The most indispensable thing in Jixia is talents, and since Jiang Qi has abandoned them, he will be happy to support the king of Zhao and benefit all people in the world. Hundreds of schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and Taoism will be happy to do so."

"Ah Zheng, when the name of King Zhao Qin Zheng flies together with the fallen leaves and spreads throughout the world."

"In fact, you will find that in this bleak and ignorant era."

"you are not alone."

The slightly cool weather seemed no longer cold because of these warm and peaceful words.

"There will always be people chasing the fire, you are one of them, and I"

"It's also a candle."

Qidi, Linzi, Jixia.

An extremely long period of time has passed since Ji Qiu left.

But as for his 'name', instead of disappearing in the academy, it became more and more prosperous.

Because of Ji Qiu, several masters of the military strategist found a way forward. The being known as the 'Sage of Soldiers' broke away the shackles with one punch, gathered the essence of the two methods, and created a book of war for the contemporary era.

The warriors and soldiers in the world have created another one based on the original one!

What followed was that Ji Qiu's fame became even greater.

Some people even compared him to the ancestor of the military strategist and called him the Martial Saint, which means the person who opened the way for martial arts!

At the same time, the news that Ji Qiu was preaching the truth in Zhao, suppressing Zhao Wuling, participating in war ceremonies, and supporting Qin Zheng's ascension to the throne was included in the Jixia era.

The Jixia Academy, which was increasingly at odds with Jiang Qi and all the descendants of the divine blood, finally boiled over.

Library.

When the old man with white eyebrows closed his eyes, the Taoist teachings almost blended into the vast sea of ​​books, and the old man opened his eyes.

He felt that the atmosphere today was different from the past.

That expressionless face nodded gently:

"Have you entered Taoism?"

"Children can be taught, and future generations can be feared."

Immediately, silence fell again.

Outside this quaint red-wood building, along the ancient corridor all the way to the end, there were three people sitting opposite each other in the stone pavilion.

Meng Ke, the academy's sacrificial wine, poured the warm tea one by one, and then looked at the two people in front of him:

"Two gentlemen, have you really thought about it?"

Thinking back to the news that came from Zhao of the Three Jin Dynasties in recent days, even if Meng Ke had gone through ups and downs and traveled to the seven countries, he couldn't help but be shocked.

I originally thought that Ji Qiu, who had won the title of Ji Xia Toad Palace a few years after leaving, and suddenly appeared in the palace, could become a sub-sage, which would be astonishing to the world.

But I didn’t expect that something even more shocking was to come.

Together with three other saints from the Bai family who were not from the Shiji lineage, he buried King Yong of Zhao Wu and accepted the person whose destiny was calculated by the Yin and Yang family as his disciple, supporting him with all his strength and ascending to the position of king!

What novelist made up an epic biography?

Meng Ke didn't believe it for the first moment after hearing it.

But when Ji Qiu brought the message and saw and heard it with his own eyes, he finally remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Ke had not yet recovered.

Two famous sages from Jixia came one after another.

If Ji Qiu were here, these two people would definitely not be strangers.

Because they are all great talents that he recognized when he was in Jixia!

The young man with a solemn and indifferent face and a ruler at his waist was Han Fei, a great sage from the Legalist School;

And another scholar in Confucian shirts with flying eyebrows, enterprising spirit, and quite arrogance was Xun Kuang, a Confucian scholar who was extremely famous when he first met and established a family tradition!

Both of them are masters of their respective schools, and they are only one step away from being able to reach the heights of the Holy Name!

Not only that, they also represent both Legalism and Confucianism. They are at the top of the doctrines of this era, have countless disciples, and spread their knowledge widely. They are truly talented people with world-wide knowledge!

At this time, the two came to say goodbye to Meng Ke.

The destination is of course self-evident.

Jixia, hundreds of schools, various scholars.

In this era, everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

Now, it seems that there is a glimmer of light that can break through the darkness of the night. Naturally, we should seize it and not allow it to continue to indulge in it.

Therefore, when faced with Meng Ke’s inquiry, Han Fei and Xun Kuang did not hesitate:

Han Fei had a look in his eyes: "In order to realize what I have learned and prove the rules I have always adhered to, I must go on this trip."

Xun Kuang cupped his hands and smiled: "It is my duty to practice my Confucianism and Taoism!"

Looking at the firm gazes of the two men, Meng Ke slowly glanced around and then nodded heavily:

"good."

"Since you have to do it, you must do it well."

"Let the ordinary people in this world, as well as the high-ranking nobles with divine blood, have a good look at it."

"My generation has been born out of nowhere!"

The words of this old gentleman from the Academy were sonorous and powerful.

Meng Ke knew that these two people were just the epitome of the scholars and scholars in Jixia.

Half of those scholars who have developed their theories and intend to realize their ambitions will, like these two men, cross the long journey to Zhao, who was once extremely martial.

This is a good thing.

It's a pity that as a sacrificial wine, Meng Ke has to sit in Jixia, the holy land where hundreds of families have been suppressed, and cannot leave.

After all, Jiang Qi would not expel them.

Then this place will always be a symbol in a sense, like a bright light, standing in the hearts of the forerunners and never going out.

Perhaps the Zhao State will become the second one, even surpassing Jixia.

But that's all for later.

Before that, he had to be the person holding the lamp and not lose control for a moment.

Watching the two say goodbye and slowly leave.

As if feeling the unusual excitement in Jixia today, Meng Ke smiled slightly, and once again he made another pot of tea in the pavilion, drank it slowly alone, and murmured to himself:

"Everyone in the world is white, but the ink man is only black."

"Sun Wu broke away the shackles with one punch, ran to Southern Chu, bathed in the blood of the ancients and left. He went one step further and made Lao Wang angry, but he was unable to suppress him. This military strategist is an accomplished warrior, and his combat power is truly extraordinary."

"Everyone has taken this step ahead of schedule because of that little gentleman."

"Mo Zhai."

He seemed to be looking at the Three Jin Dynasties in the distance, and the Wei Dynasty that was shrouded in plague all day long:

"Your teachings are the most benevolent and righteous. This time I went to the Wei Kingdom, together with Lord Changsang and the doctors and Mohists, I don't know if they can also help the ordinary people of Wei."

"How unfortunate are ordinary people who live in this era!"

The old man sighed deeply:

"But that's why."

"Our generation still needs to move forward."

"All this is just to leave an era for future generations where at least they don't have to live and die."
Chapter completed!
