Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Chapter 4 "I have my own plans. Do as I said before!"

However, this time he was overthinking things. Zhao Chen's inherent luck was immense, and with his mother, Xia's will protecting him, anyone who dared to challenge him would suffer a fate unpleasant.

"Your Majesty, could you please give me some time? I will go to Xianyang to teach the young master after I have dealt with the Taoist affairs."

Bei Mingzi was the first to break the silence.

He hadn't cared much about the matter, having long since lived in semi-seclusion in the Taoist sect. Apart from the time he came out of seclusion to accept Xiaomeng as his disciple, he hadn't been involved in the affairs of the Tianzong sect. This time, he returned to the Taoist sect to bring Xiaomeng with him.

Donghuang Taiyi can pull off a scheme, so why can't I? Besides, Xiaomeng is younger, so she's more likely to get along with the young master in the future. Hehe, the advantage is on my side.

"Master Bei Mingzi, please do as you please. I believe Chen'er will never refuse your teachings."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

"Yeah!" Bei Mingzi left immediately.

"Your Majesty, I also need to go back and make some preparations before coming to Xianyang."

Guiguzi was more straightforward than Beimingzi. He regarded himself as a subordinate and obviously wanted to emulate Donghuang Taiyi.

"Okay, with the guidance of Master Guiguzi, Chen'er will definitely be extraordinary in the future. Hahaha!" Ying Zheng was very happy. Guiguzi surrendered. For Chen'er, the Qin Dynasty was really a lucky star.

"My minister retire."

"Ok!"

Now only Xunzi is left, and his situation is somewhat awkward.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang was currently within the territory of Qi. Although it was not officially part of Qi, it was considered to be independent of other states. However, if it surrendered to Qin at this time, wouldn't Qi feel betrayed?

You lived here, ate here, and then turned around and defected to Qin. How could Qi let you go? Even if we can't destroy you in one fell swoop, we will definitely create all kinds of trouble for you.

More importantly, Confucianism has always cooperated with all countries rather than relying on any one country, which goes against the teachings of the ancient sages.

Putting this aside, the Qin Dynasty was now stronger than the other six kingdoms. If Xiao Shengxianzhuang defected to the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't the other six kingdoms look down on him and regard Confucianism as opportunistic? Where were the teachings of Confucius? Were they all devoured?

Seeing that the Qin Dynasty was becoming powerful, he immediately defected to it. He was simply taking advantage of the situation!

Such behavior is contrary to the spirit of Confucianism. If Xunzi sets a bad precedent, Confucianism will probably be ridiculed by other schools of thought in the future.

However, the young master Zhao Chen is a sage incarnate, destined to become a saint in the future. His luck is even comparable to that of Confucius when he became a saint, and no one can match him.

Not only that, a person with such great luck will benefit from his luck and be able to do things smoothly for anyone who makes friends with him; anyone who opposes him will be despised by the world and end up with a tragic death.

Otherwise, how could Donghuang Taiyi surrender directly? Bei Mingzi and Guiguzi also fought fiercely for the right to teach the young master, just like ordinary people.

However, the King of Qin did give Xunzi a difficult problem!

"Your Majesty, could you allow me to carefully consider your response?"

"That's fine. I'm willing to give Master Xunzi enough time to consider."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

"Yeah!" Xunzi left immediately.

Only Donghuang Taiyi was left in Zhangtai Palace.

Xinghun, aren’t you a human being?

"Donghuang Taiyi, the Moon Goddess's previous divination indicated that it would take the Qin Dynasty more than ten years to destroy the six kingdoms. Now that Chen'er is a sage incarnate, he saved his mother the moment he was born.

So, could it have an impact on the fate of the Qin Empire? When I held Chen'er in my arms, I sensed a completely different will. It was a strange feeling, as if the shackles on my body had vanished. Furthermore, I felt that if I didn't treat Chen'er well, I would be abandoned by the entire world. Do you know what this is?

Donghuang Taiyi remained silent upon hearing this. His face, hidden by his black robe, looked unusually serious.

"Your Majesty, based on your description, this is most likely the will of Heaven or the universe. I never imagined that the young master would be recognized by Heaven, or rather, that Heaven values ​​him so highly. It seems that the future of the world will belong to the young master, and all we have to do is follow his will. Furthermore, the moment the young master was born, the fate of the Qin Dynasty was completely changed, and even I cannot predict his future path. But as long as the young master is here, the unification of the six kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty within a few years is almost certain."

Donghuang Taiben hadn't intended to utter a final word, as his words already touched upon the future of the Qin Dynasty, potentially touching upon the King's taboos. The Qin Dynasty was still under the reign of Ying Zheng, a valiant ruler destined to unify the empire and possessing an extraordinary destiny. However, another, even more wicked, young prince had emerged. Clearly, the Qin Dynasty's fate of perishing in its second generation had been sealed, its legacy immortalized. The Yin-Yang School must closely follow the young prince's lead to eternal prosperity.

However, relying on Concubine Yan and Moon Goddess alone doesn't seem enough. Back at the palace, we need to select a few more women. That Xiaoyi from Mubu is quite good, only slightly older than the young master, so she should be able to play with him.

While Zhengdong Huang Taiyi was pondering, Ying Zheng spoke up, "Hahaha, great! Originally, I was also dissatisfied with the fact that it took more than ten years to unify the six kingdoms. It took so long for such a small six kingdoms. Now, I want to see how quickly the Qin Dynasty can unify the world under the influence of Chen'er's fortune."

Far from being angry about Donghuang Taiyi's claim that the future empire would belong to Zhao Chen, Ying Zheng was delighted. He was relieved that the Qin Dynasty would have a successor. Furthermore, eternal immortality was his wish, so whatever Donghuang Taiyi's motives, his words pleased Ying Zheng.

"Well, if there is nothing else, Lord Donghuang may leave now."

"Wei Chen resigns!"

---

"Meng Wu, Dun Ruo, how is the investigation going? Who kidnapped my beloved concubine?"

"Your Majesty, the robbers may be Jing Ke's accomplices. They are operating in two groups. If Jing Ke succeeds, the other group will create chaos in the palace to cover Jing Ke's escape; if Jing Ke fails, they will flee secretly. I didn't expect them to dare to kidnap the queen. By the time I discovered them, they had already fled the palace. I immediately gave chase, but unfortunately... the leader looked very familiar. I suspect it was Yan Dan, the Crown Prince of Yan."

The loud banging of the table startled Meng Wu and Dun Ruo.

"Bold! Meng Wu, inform Wang Jian and Wei Liao to abandon the attack on Zhao and march the entire army to Yan. The three cities captured in the previous attempts were nothing to worry about. This time, I demand ten cities and demand that Yan Dan come to Qin as a hostage. Otherwise, Yan will cease to exist."

"Your Majesty, why not just execute Yan Dan to appease the Queen?"

"I have my own plans. Do as I said before!"

"promise!"

"Also, mobilize all members of the Black Ice Platform to search for any Mohist members hiding in Xianyang City. Jing Ke is a Mohist, yet he dared to team up with the State of Yan to assassinate me. These traitors must pay the price."

"As ordered!"

"Go back!"

"I'm leaving!" (both of them at the same time)

"Gai Nie!"

"The minister is here."

"Find out the situation in the harem secretly. I don't believe that Yan Dan happened to meet my beloved concubine. Don't announce the results of the investigation for now." Ying Zheng's eyes were as cold as frost. Thinking of the person who almost killed his son Chen'er, no matter who it was, he must be killed!

"As ordered!"

Gai Nie left immediately.

Everything was properly handled. Ying Zheng ordered his attendants to invite the imperial physician and took him to diagnose and treat Xia.

Our protagonist, meanwhile, has endured a truly arduous journey today. As a time traveler, he nearly died in his mother's womb and even had to struggle to be born. Fortunately, his willpower and the aura of the Son of God have blessed him, so his safety is no longer a concern. However, he still doesn't know how to use that incredibly powerful skill; perhaps he'll figure it out once he grows up.

Afterward, Zhao Chen's father arrived to treat and nurse his mother, Xia. After completing his duties, he hurried away. Zhao Chen knew that Qin was experiencing rapid development, and his father must be extremely busy.

Time flies. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye and Zhao Chen has grown up.

Aside from the first few months being different—he could talk at three months and walk at five—Zhao Chen was no different from any other child. He wasn't as peculiar as Donghuang Taiyi had claimed. Those stories about the advent of a saint or destiny simply didn't apply to him. Instead, he was quite mischievous.

As early as Zhao Chen learned to walk, Bei Mingzi, Guiguzi, and Xunzi had already come to the palace to teach him. However, whenever Zhao Chen was studying, he would always doze off and even drool, especially when studying Confucian classics. He even skipped classes many times.

Xunzi was so angry that he hadn't achieved any teaching results for a month, so he finally had to resign and return to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Not only that, the little guy particularly liked being held by Yan Fei and Yue Shen, and his hands and feet were extremely restless, sometimes even teasing Xiao Meng and Xiao Yi. This made Ying Zheng doubt that Zhao Chen could be the reincarnation of a saint, and he was simply a naughty boy.

In the past three years, nothing has been achieved.

Ying Zheng felt very troubled by this. He asked Bei Mingzi and Guiguzi many times whether Zhao Chen was the reincarnation of a saint and why he looked so ordinary.

Even Bei Mingzi and Guiguzi began to have doubts.

This was naturally all done intentionally by Zhao Chen. He had been pretending for three whole years, so at least he couldn't reveal any flaws.

This day was Zhao Chen’s third birthday.

"Son, you are already three years old. It's time for you to study hard and practice martial arts. You can't be so naughty anymore."

"Mother, I know, and I'm trying my best. But the bamboo slips are too heavy for me to lift, and the words are too difficult to understand. The sight of them makes me want to sleep!"

Seeing Zhao Chen's innocent look, Xia shook her head helplessly.

"All the noble children of the Great Qin grow up this way. If you don't study hard, what will happen to you in the future? Although you are my son of the Qin State, I don't expect you to achieve great things, but at least you can't become a scoundrel."

Before Xia could finish, Zhao Chen helplessly interrupted her: "Ah, mother, I understand. Please don't say anything more. I promise you that I will study hard in the future. However, I have a plan."

"Plan? What plan?"
