Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Chapter 23 "Father, Zhao Gao requests an audience!"

At this moment, Xiaomeng and Xiaoyi looked at each other, then simultaneously stood up and headed towards the study. Upon entering, they saw Yanfei and Yueshen both cultivating, and a shift of heart shifted within them. This was a state of unity between heaven and man, the aura of the Great Dao manifesting within them. Recognizing this as an invaluable opportunity, they exchanged a glance and immediately sat cross-legged, joining in the practice. Xiaomeng even closed the door before entering her state of cultivation to prevent any outside interference.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had already passed. Although nothing major had happened in the study during these three days, Zhao Chen's mother, having not seen her son for three days, came to look for him, but found the study closed and unable to enter. She knocked on the door but received no response, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Someone, come here quickly."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Sir, what have you been doing in your study these past few days? Why is the door closed?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Call the guards to break the door open!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the guards arrived and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, just knock the door open immediately."

"Yes!"

The guard stepped back and rushed towards the door, but it didn't budge. Instead, the guard was thrown back by the immense force, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Li Er, what happened?"

"Captain, I received a huge force when I hit the door."

"What, this..." The captain's expression changed. It was obvious that a master had set up a formation here. If the other party was a hostile master, it would be dangerous. "It seems that a formation has been set up in the room. I will ask His Majesty to dispatch a master immediately."

"Go!"

Elsewhere, in Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was truly feeling quite proud these days. Zhao Chen's plan had propelled the Qin Empire into a period of rapid development, and the constant flow of good news filled Ying Zheng with immense satisfaction.

Politically, he had fully assumed control and begun to realize his ambitions. With all officials working together, the Qin Empire enjoyed a clear political landscape. Militarily, the introduction of new weaponry greatly increased the combat effectiveness of Qin soldiers. Agriculturally, the introduction of new farm tools, along with the re-registration and unified land distribution, not only greatly stimulated peasant activity but also, driven by these policies, led to a significant expansion of cultivated land. Economically, the reform of commercial taxes saw a dramatic increase in national revenue. Even when some merchants fled the Qin Empire due to the high tax burden, Ying Zheng remained unfazed. He reasoned that once the six kingdoms were united, where could these merchants flee? Furthermore, the Qin Empire could readily rely on the advanced techniques of salt production and iron smelting, taught by Zhao Chen, to conduct its own trade. Why would it need to rely on others for assistance?

Regarding education, although the invention of papermaking had not yet been announced, officials had already begun using paper for official business, finding it both convenient and comfortable. Books were gradually being converted to paper, and the "Daqin Dictionary" in particular was being printed at full speed. After pacifying the six states, Daqin would promote paper and this dictionary across the board, marking the advent of universal literacy and serving as a cultural countermeasure to the six states' accusations of barbarity and vulgarity against Daqin. This plan, I must say, was truly excellent.

In terms of talent, the Qin court welcomed several new faces. Li Si, initially a guest of Lü Buwei, later gained direct access to the court through Zhao Chen's connections. Xiao He, young but extremely talented, had been specially appointed by Zhao Chen. Regarding generals, the addition of Han Xin and Zhongli Mei indicated Zhao Chen's intention to poach Liu Bang's staff. This gathering of talent made the Qin dynasty more stable and powerful.

Therefore, thanks to Zhao Chen's plan, the daily morning court gradually became a formality, and many affairs were handled by the officials themselves. In this situation, Dun Ruo hurried in and broke the peace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"Why are you so nervous?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, there's a problem with the Seventh Young Master."

"What's wrong? Tell me!" When Ying Zheng heard that it was about Zhao Chen, he immediately became nervous.

The court officials were equally astonished. They all knew that the Qin Dynasty had been able to achieve such tremendous changes in such a short period of time thanks to the Seventh Prince. If anything happened to him, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Your Majesty, the young master has not left his study for three days. We were so worried that we ordered our guards to break in, but they were blown away by a powerful force. We suspect someone has set up a formation in his study. Your Majesty is at a loss, and we implore Your Majesty to send a master to break it."

"Where is the Imperial Master? Where is Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School? Aren't they protecting the prince?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The king, the national teacher and the other three have not appeared for three days." Dun Ruo replied.

Ying Zheng slammed the table. "Come here, notify Master Guiguzi to go to the Weiyang Palace immediately. Dun Ruo, Zhao Gao, order all the masters of the Black Ice Platform and Luowang to go to the Weiyang Palace."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

"Dismiss the court." Ying Zheng said, then went straight to Weiyang Palace without looking back.

If Zhao Chen makes any mistakes, I will make all those responsible pay the price. The ministers in the palace looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen the king lose his composure like this, which was enough to prove how important Zhao Chen was in the king's heart.

New ideas arose in many people's minds, and their eyes swept over the eldest prince Fusu who followed the king.

The balance in my heart swung again.

"General, is this young master really the reincarnation of a saint as the rumors say?"

"Why, do you have any doubts?"

"I am merely curious."

"Han Xin, it was the young master who recommended you to the king. Without your recommendation, even though you have outstanding talents and are a rare general, I'm afraid you would still be unknown in Huaiyin."

"I understand. That's why I'm curious about you, sir."

"You will definitely have the opportunity to meet the young master in the future. For now, you still have to study hard. After all, a new war is about to begin." Wang Jian said with meaning.

"My subordinate understands!"

At the same time, Ying Zheng hurried to the Weiyang Palace.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, my beloved, Guiguzi, how is Chen'er doing?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The young master should be fine. This formation may involve the mysteries of Yin-Yang and Taoism. Although I cannot penetrate it with my spiritual sense, I can speculate that the purpose of this formation is to protect the young master.

From this, I infer that the young master may be at a critical moment in his cultivation, otherwise Yue Shen and the others would not be like this."

"It is indeed to protect Chen'er, and has no other purpose?"

"I am willing to guarantee it with my life."

"That's good! That's good!" These words made Ying Zheng feel relieved.

"But, Master Guiguzi, is Chen'er really just practicing? How long will it take for him to come out? It's been three days. How can he bear not eating? He is only a three-year-old child!" Xia asked anxiously.

"Please rest assured, Madam. When a cultivator enters a deep state, their body functions seem to cease. At the same time, they can absorb the essence of heaven and earth to purify themselves. They will be fine.

As for this formation, I suspect it was automatically generated to avoid disturbing you, young master."

"So that's how it is. That's good, that's good!"

"Since there is no interference, please withdraw!"

"I will take my leave!"

"Master Guiguzi, please stay here and guard for the time being."

"My minister obeys."

Guiguzi was also very curious about what level Zhao Chen had reached in his cultivation. The last time he saw him, he was still in the middle stage of Xiantian.

It had already surprised him, and now, he could have another epiphany, and even the four girls also entered the state of enlightenment.

Yes, although Guiguzi did not know what happened inside, when he used his spiritual sense to investigate, he found that this formation was not deliberately set up.

It is something they involuntarily inspired because of their enlightenment. It not only contains the Moon God's Qimen Bureau and Xiaomeng's Tiangang Formation, but also magically merges them into one.

Among them is Yan Fei's dragon-like momentum and wood spirit power, which are amazing.

Even the knowledgeable Guiguzi had never seen such a phenomenon. Two completely different formations and several different kinds of true qi could actually blend so perfectly.

How exactly is this done?

What’s even more amazing is that this formation can actually block his spiritual consciousness. It’s really powerful!

This is exactly why Guiguzi was curious.

Most importantly, what on earth did Zhao Chen realize that he could lead all four women together? Could it be...

Guiguzi had a guess in his mind, but he was still not sure.

…………

Ying Zheng and Xia left the study.

"My beloved, are you still worried about Chen'er?"

"How can I not be worried? He is only a three-year-old child."

"Alas, although Chen'er is only three years old, he is no ordinary person. He is a sage sent from heaven and often does shocking things. If you are so anxious every time, I'm afraid you will never have peace in the future."

"I understand, but I am still very worried."

"Don't worry. After that brat comes out of confinement, I will teach him a lesson. I can't always let others worry about him." Ying Zheng comforted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Father, Zhao Gao requests an audience!"

"Let him in!"

"Your Majesty, I am here to pay my respects to you. I have brought all the masters in Luowang here with me. Your Majesty..." Zhao Gao was interrupted by Ying Zheng before he could finish his words.

"Zhao Gao, take them back. There's nothing wrong here."

"As you command," Zhao Chen responded.

"Your Majesty, the young master once asked me about Jingwei. This time, Jingwei has been brought to me. I think I should let her stay to protect you!"

"Oh, Chen'er asked you? In that case, let her stay and take the others back!"

"promise!"

"My beloved, don't worry too much. I will go to take care of state affairs first and will come to accompany you in the evening."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell!"

Ying Zheng took Fusu away.

This ** finally came to an end.

The protagonist who triggered this ** is still immersed in the baptism of the avenue.

His mind raced, his body absorbed essence, and his soul frantically digested the new knowledge. In his sleep, his mind's power surged, and with each breath, his inner Qi surged. His body was being profoundly reshaped.

The perception, absorption, digestion and understanding of the Tao were finally transformed into Zhao Chen's unique wisdom.

His understanding of Tao increased rapidly like riding a rocket, and the mysteries of the world gradually unfolded before him.
