The night has not faded yet, and the sky will be dark.
In Xianyang Palace, Qin officials walked in one after another to attend the court meeting.
Hundreds of people gathered together, each standing in rows.
Zhao Huaizhong, who had just turned twenty-two, was wearing a black royal robe and a hand-width black jade belt tied around his waist. He was sitting on the throne with deep eyes, overlooking the ministers.
In the palace, the power within the ministers gathered together, reflecting different atmospheres.
On top of Lu Buwei's head, a bronze seal and a bamboo slip appeared, floating and sinking.
There are tens of thousands of words in the bamboo slips, and each ancient seal character is shining and majestic, establishing Lu Buwei's status as a saint of the Za family.
He stood respectfully at the top of Zhao Huaizhong's lower right hand.
The only person who can be on an equal footing with Lu Buwei is Tingwei Han Fei.
His appearance is also quite special, and the top of his head also shows the essence of Legalism written by him.
In addition, there is a strange beast, Xiezhi, also called Jie Zhi (xiè zhì). It is aiming at the essence of Legalism and breathing in its breath.
Jie Zhi is a legendary mythical beast, shaped like a cow, like a sheep, and somewhat similar to a unicorn.
It has thick, dark hair all over its body and a horn on its forehead. Legend has it that the beast understands human language and human nature, can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyalty and traitor. If it finds a treacherous official, it will knock him down with its horn and eat it.
Lower belly.
It is also known as the divine sheep, which is a symbol of bravery, justice and justice.
It perfectly matches what Han Fei has learned.
Except for Lu Buwei and Han Fei, the other ministers also had their own unique behaviors.
Tigers, dragons and other Dharma signs are entrenched beside the ministers, appearing and disappearing.
From Zhao Huaizhong's position, the aura manifested above the heads of the ministers was barely level with him, presenting a myth-like scene.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Prime Minister Lu Buwei took a step forward and said: "King Kaolie of Chu passed away a few days ago. The prince of Chu, Mi, whose surname is Xiong, Xiong Han, ascends the throne of Chu and is King You of Chu."
Zhao Huai was worried that there would be chaos if King Kaolie of Chu died and a new king of Chu came to the throne.
If we go by the historical facts, Huang Xie, Lord of Chunshen, should also have been killed by Li Yuan, the brother of the Queen Mother.
After the Chu incident, the national power will decline day by day and become worse day by day.
Let’s wait and see what the details will be.
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "The demon clan is attacking Chu, is there any change?"
"There are no new changes." Lu Buwei said.
In the past six months, monsters have continued to breed all over the world, but there has been no large-scale attack on human countries.
Later, Han Fei, Li Si and other officials also came out one after another to report on the changes in various places in the Qin Kingdom, including sowing on the vernal equinox and the start of scientific examinations in two months.
Before the disbandment of the dynasty, Zhao Huaizhong asked: "We, the Qin Dynasty, are about to launch an army to attack Zhao. How are we prepared?"
The old general with white hair and beard, Duke Heng, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, our Qin army has mobilized 200,000 elite troops to attack the Zhao territory, and the sage of war, Wang Jian, will be in command.
Food, grass and other supplies are all ready. Except for the last 50,000 Qin army that has not yet been mobilized from the northern front, the rest of the troops are fully prepared.
At most half a month, the king can give the order to send troops to attack Zhao."
When the attack on Zhao was mentioned, all the ministers' eyes lit up.
It is the long-cherished wish of all Qin people to go out to the east to pacify the various countries, and to sweep across the Liuhe to pacify the world.
"Your Majesty, this time we attack Zhao, we should first send out a proclamation, written by your Majesty, to attack the Zhao people." Zong Zheng, one of the nine ministers, came out.
Zhao Huaizhong muttered: "Fight if you want. You don't have to send out a message every time."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left his seat. Liu Qi hurriedly shouted: "If nothing happens, let's dismiss the court."
The ministers then left one after another.
Zhao Huaizhong moved to the study room in the side hall and began to handle the day's state affairs.
The Sangong and Jiuqing also had their own offices in Xianyang Palace, and various affairs of the Qin Dynasty would be integrated into the central Xianyang from various places through memorials.
The three ministers and nine ministers would sometimes come to Zhao Huaizhong to discuss and report on state affairs.
The day passed quickly, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
When night fell, all the officials left the palace and dispersed.
But in the study room where Zhao Huaizhong, Lu Buwei, Han Fei, and Li Si were located, the red candles were still burning high and the lights were not extinguished.
From time to time, chamberlains would come in and out to deliver memorials.
Qin is about to attack Zhao, and the entire Qin Dynasty has been mobilized for it, and various affairs are far more complicated than usual.
Just as the night was getting darker, Zhao Huaizhong, Lu Buwei and others were about to finish their busy work and disperse, when a servant hurriedly walked into the study and said: "Your Majesty, there is an abnormality in the far west."
With a calm expression on his face, Zhao Huaizhong walked out of the palace and looked to the west.
The sight he saw made him narrow his eyes slightly.
In the far west, there is a huge white fox rising into the sky.
Half of the night sky was occupied by a huge fox shadow.
After the white fox rose into the air, he squatted down calmly, raised his neck and pointed at the bright moon in the night sky, making hesitant movements.
In a daze, the trajectory of the bright moon seemed to have shifted. A wisp of divine energy in the moonlight was swallowed by the white fox.
As time goes by, the white fox continues to grow and become bigger, and more and more moonlight is absorbed by it, turning into a silver-white light pillar, and its whole body begins to emit gleaming light, competing with the bright moon.
Soon, in addition to the moonlight, there was also light in other stars, which was absorbed by the white fox.
Behind it, one, two, three, nine tails in total emerged.
However, three of them are illusory and hazy, not as clear as the other six.
But these three illusory tails are slowly becoming solid as the demon fox swallows the power of the stars.
"The demon fox swallows the moon and captures the stars!
The leader of the demon clan is about to break through to the seven-tailed demon body."
The bone mirror on Zhao Huaizhong shook. It was the news from the saint circle, sent by Zou Yan.
In the past six months, Lao Sikong collected materials and once again built several secondary bone mirrors.
At present, Lu Buwei, Wang Jian, Han Fei and others also have one person each.
The circle of human saints has officially formed a large scale, and more than half of the saints have been connected in series and can be contacted in time through the bone mirror.
After Zou Yan transmitted his voice in the mirror, someone responded:
"According to ancient legends, there was an ancient immortal who came to the world, but was swallowed by a seven-tailed demon fox. The fact that he transformed into seven tails means that he has achieved great demon power and possesses seven kinds of demonic magical powers. He can freeze time and space and confuse all living beings..."
This is from Ji Xianfa.
In the past six months, through the connections of the Saint Circle, all the Saints have done their best to help the Ji family solve several difficulties.
Ji Xian has enjoyed the benefits of the Saint Circle and is now quite keen to speak in the Saint Circle. He has become a backbone of the circle and is willing to be exploited by Zhao Huaizhong in exchange for the Saint Circle's help.
"King Qin, you, the Qin Dynasty, are going to attack Zhao. How are your preparations?" It was still Ji Xian.
"Raise the troops in half a month." Zhao Huaizhong responded.
As soon as he appeared, Lu Buwei, Han Fei, Wang Jian, Baiyao and others spoke out one after another:
"My minister, Wang Jian, will sacrifice his life this time to create unparalleled achievements for our great Qin and for your great king."
"I, Lu Buwei, should also try my best."
"Your Majesty Han Fei..."
The circle of saints was instantly wiped out by the officials of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, Xunzi brought the topic back to the demon fox flying into the sky and swallowing the moon, and asked:
"King Qin, the demon lord is about to break through, and the demonic energy is flying across the sky.
If she gets the upper hand this time, our human race will be even more passive, and the demon race will definitely take advantage of the situation... From what I can see, in recent months, the King of Qin's corresponding Zhongtian Emperor Star has been getting brighter and brighter, and its weather has been rising.
I wonder if King Qin has the ability to break through the four realms of saints to suppress the demon lord?"
At this time, Lu Buwei, Han Fei, Li Si and others walked out of the side hall where Xianyang Palace worked and came to Zhao Huaizhong.
Several people looked solemnly, watching the changes in the night sky.
In the western sky, the white fox is majestic and swallows the stars, as if the entire night sky will eventually be swallowed up by it.
Zhao Huaizhong replied in the saint circle: "The state affairs have been heavy in recent days, and I have not had time to break through the four realms of saints, so this demon lord caught up with me.
Saints, please wait a moment, I will go and break through now. We should be one step ahead of the demon lord and enter the four realms of saints."
The circle of saints immediately fell silent.
Breaking through the Four Realms of Saints should have been difficult, but when Zhao Huaizhong said that he was about to break through again, no one was surprised.
The talent of the Lord of Qin is well known.
"Good." Xunzi said happily.
The saints also praised him for his good deeds.
"Prime Minister Lu, Lieutenant Han Ting, Li Neishi, together with Duke Heng and General Wang.
During the period when I broke through the four realms of saints, you will handle all kinds of affairs in our Daqin State. When signing various government affairs, both the Prime Minister and Han Tingwei need to be famous at the same time, so that I can supervise the country on my behalf." Zhao Huaizhong ordered.
Li suddenly showed envy and looked at fellow disciple Han Fei and Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei and Han Fei bowed deeply at the same time: "We two do not dare to slack off. I wish you the best to successfully enter the four realms of saints and suppress the demon lord."
Zhao Huaizhong took a deep breath, took steps, and instantly entered the stone hall of the ancestral temple.
In the Xianyang Hall, the Zhenguo Seal rose through the air and fell into the stone hall of the ancestral temple.
The next moment, purple air surged into the sky above the stone hall of the ancestral temple, and the atmosphere quickly became prosperous, rivaling the demon fox Tun Yue in the west.
The purple air column soon turned into a purple divine dragon, crossing the sky.
Chudi.
Xunzi raised his head and watched from a distance, his expression solemn.
Qi State.
Zou Yan was also looking up.
Zhao Huaizhong said it easily, but both old saints felt that the demon lord was coming this time. If Zhao Huaizhong could not enter the fourth realm of the saint first, the demon clan would definitely use the momentum of the demon lord's breakthrough to attack again and start a war between humans and demons.
In Xianyang Palace, King Zhuang Xiang was also looking up in the direction of the Stone Palace.
"If Zheng'er can successfully break into the four realms of saints, then we, the Qin Dynasty, can attack Zhao. Otherwise, the preparations will be interrupted by the demon clan again..."
In Taoyuan Cave, Ji Xian whispered: "If Lord Qin can break through the four realms of saints, and if Qin conquers Zhao Ruocheng, I don't know how high Qin's climate will rise..."
Ancestral Temple Stone Hall.
Zhao Huaizhong sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. The power in his body was like the Yangtze River, rushing and surging, rising steadily in an instant.
Zhao Huaizhong directly mobilized the power of ‘it’ to bless his practice and achieve a breakthrough.
