Walking the Heavens, Becoming a God in Troubled Times

"When Wang Taiyi and Zhang Ping and others arrived at the gate of Xianyang City for inspection, the daily court meeting was also taking place in the Xianyang Palace...

“It’s just that today’s court meeting seemed a bit long. Apparently, there’s something big going on, so we brought it here to discuss.

"In the Xianyang Palace, where all the civil and military officials hold court, a fierce quarrel is taking place!

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu at the border have repeatedly invaded us, showing that they simply do not take our Great Qin seriously.

"I suggest sending troops immediately to wipe out the Xiongnu...

“No…

"Your Majesty, although our Qin army is now at its peak, we are not good at riding and shooting, while many Xiongnu tribes are light and agile.

Even if our Qin army can repel them, it would be difficult to chase them across the vast grassland.

"If we send troops rashly, we will only suffer heavy losses.

On the high platform, which was where the dragon throne was, sat a middle-aged man wearing a black dragon robe and exuding a majestic look.

"His face was full of indifference, and his majestic and cold temperament made him look like a god looking down on the world.

"It caused the people below who were arguing fiercely to involuntarily lower their voices.

"Then it disappeared...

"This man is none other than the First Emperor, the emperor who unified the six kingdoms by carrying on the legacy of the six previous Qin dynasties.

"His achievements surpass those of the Three Sovereigns, his virtue surpasses that of the Five Emperors, and he created an unprecedented prosperous era, and was known as the First Emperor...

Ying Zheng's cold eyes swept across the crowd below, and then fixed their gaze on the first row of civil officials...

"Then he opened his mouth and said...

"Li Si, what do you think about this matter?

"When Li Si, the left prime minister and the head of all civil and military officials, heard Ying Zheng's question, he became serious despite his fox-like personality and strategy.

“Your Majesty, it is indeed time to teach the Huns a lesson!

Otherwise, they would think that we, the Great Qin, could do nothing to them, and they would be jumping around all day long.

"When Ying Zheng heard this, he didn't nod, didn't shake his head, and didn't say anything. It was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed...

“He just turned his gaze towards the military officers in the row of military officers.

Then he looked at a general and said...

"Meng Tian, ​​what do you think?

“That’s right. The general chosen by the First Emperor is none other than Meng Tian of the Meng Family Army, the future defender of the Great Wall and the commander of 30 golden fire cavalry.

“But obviously, he had not yet arrived at the Great Wall to guard it.

"Hearing the Emperor's question, Meng Tian quickly responded...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Meng Tian will obey Your Majesty's orders!

When the First Emperor on the high platform heard this, his originally stern expression softened a lot, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up.

"But then he disappeared, and then the First Emperor was heard saying...

"It is time to give the Xiongnu a warning. Don't let them think that the Qin Empire can be easily provoked.

"Just as the First Emperor was about to say the next sentence, a civil servant came out from the side and said...

"Your Majesty, I have something to report...

"When the First Emperor heard this, he was not annoyed that someone interrupted him.

"I looked directly at this person and asked...

"What does the Right Prime Minister have to report?

The civil servant who stood up said directly...

“Your Majesty, there is a small country called Tuan on the border between the Empire and the Xiongnu, and they are wavering at the moment.

"On the one hand, they are showing goodwill to us, and on the other hand, they are making contact with the Xiongnu. Moreover, I have discovered that the small country of Tuan has captured some people from our Great Qin Empire and reduced them to slaves for them to use.

"When the Emperor heard this, his face turned calm and he immediately became angry and shouted...

"How dare such a small country be so presumptuous!

When the numerous civil and military officials in the audience heard this, they all bowed and said...

"Your Majesty, calm down." Ying Zheng looked at the numerous civil and military officials and could not say anything else. He just looked directly at the direction of the military generals and said...

"General Wang, what do you think about this matter?

"When the old general Wang Jian, who was standing at the head of the generals and had gray hair, heard Ying Zheng asking him a question, he no longer pretended not to hear.

He bowed solemnly and said...

"Your Majesty, my Great Qin Empire has unified the six kingdoms.

"This is not something that a small country can provoke. I recommend General Li Xin to lead his troops to Tuan and teach them a lesson!

"If you listen, it's fine. If you don't, I'll kill you!

"When he said this, the iron-blooded aura emanating from General Wang Jian also made some of the civil servants in the court tremble.

You know, among the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, even if there were some conflicts, they were limited and they were all united in facing the outside world.

"It's not like the civil and military disputes in later generations. Unless they turned the whole country upside down, they couldn't show their abilities.

"Ying Zheng on the high platform also showed appreciation when he heard this, and then he spoke directly...

"Li Xin...

"I am...

“You heard what I said just now. Since General Wang recommended you, you will lead 20,000 Qin troops to Tuan.

Just like what the old general said, if they are obedient, that's fine, but if you find them doing anything wrong, just kill them!

"Yes... Your Majesty...

"Then Li Xin returned to the ranks of military commanders.

These are the courtiers and emperor of the Qin Dynasty, full of iron-blooded tyranny.

"A small country dares to waver and hesitate, isn't this courting death?

"Seeing the court suddenly quiet down, a eunuch standing next to the First Emperor spoke directly...

"If you have something to report, please report it. If you have nothing to report, please leave the court...

"Many court officials fell silent upon hearing this, and it was obvious that they had nothing to report.

Then the eunuch was heard saying...

"retreat……

Just as he was about to call for the end of the court session, he heard a loud shout coming from outside the Qilin Hall.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Ping has returned...

"After hearing this, the many civil and military officials who were about to leave the court, as well as the eunuchs who were about to call for the end of the court, all stopped preparing for the next move!

"Everyone turned their eyes to the First Emperor Ying Zheng!

"Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform and preparing to leave, heard this and instantly remembered that he seemed to have sent Zhang Ping to find a Taoist priest who could rub lightning with his hands.

Moreover, according to the rumors and information obtained from investigations, the young Taoist priest described was still a man under 20 years old.

"Then, the First Emperor nodded, um...

"The eunuch next to him saw this and said...

"Xuan...

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the messengers outside the door started shouting...

"Announce Zhang Ping to see...

"After a while, Zhang Ping and Wang Taiyi walked into the Qilin store step by step.

"As soon as he entered the Qilin Hall, Wang Taiyi instantly felt the gazes of many civil and military officials in the court.

However, he did not show any sign of cowardice. After all, all fear and timidity came from lack of strength.

"But is Wang Taiyi weak?

“Now, he can defeat an enemy of a thousand people with ease. This is the confidence that comes with strength.

"Many civil and military officials, as well as Ying Zheng, looked at the two people who walked into the Qilin Hall.

"Of course, his eyes were focused on Wang Taiyi who was wearing a green Taoist robe. Ying Zheng even wondered in his heart if this was the news from the Black Ice Platform, about a Taoist priest who could emit lightning?

"And all the civil and military officials were thinking to themselves, who is this little Taoist priest?

He was actually summoned by the First Emperor!

"Even Li Si, the chief civil official in the court, looked at Wang Taiyi with a strange look in his eyes.

"You have to know that these people naturally have their own information channels. Think about the intelligence that their subordinates have passed on during this period.

"Comparing Wang Taiyi's figure and behavior again, you will naturally know that this person is the Taoist priest who is famous in the world for eliminating evil.

“You know, there were Taoist priests in the Qin Dynasty. Of course, they were not called Taoist priests, but generally called Qigong practitioners.

“Isn’t the famous Xu Fu one of them?
