The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 151
"Next, what are the two plans?"

Ying Xuan asked: "After the Sword Forging Competition in Dongyue Sword Pool, the two of you should not plan to stay in Kuaiji County, where are you planning to go?"

"Why, don't give up, and still want to win us over to serve the empire?"

Wei Zhuang said displeasedly: "Neither Quicksand nor I have the habit of being a sword in the hands of others?"

Gai Nie didn't speak, and seemed to agree with Wei Zhuang's statement.

"You two misunderstood."

Ying Xuan shook his head, and said: "The shore of the land is the land of the king. Regardless of the two views on the empire, the two will stand on the land of the empire after all."

"Your Majesty built the Great Wall, cast gold, and suppressed the luck of the Kyushu. He was indeed eager for quick success, which caused the people of the world to live in poverty, and the people complained about the empire."

"However, today is different from the past. Now the luck of the empire has been established. The "Great Qin Law" emphasizes commerce and agriculture, and the empire has lived with the people. When the northern monsters are defeated and the barren land of South Vietnam is pacified, the empire will usher in an unprecedented grand occasion. The country will be safe and peaceful. , no problem."

"Since the two of you don't intend to serve the empire, the Marquis naturally won't force you."

Ying Xuan said: "Now that His Majesty has revoked the wanted arrest of Mr., it is time for Mr. to find a place to settle down. It is not an option to travel around all the year round!"

"You seem to have a good suggestion!" How could Wei Zhuang not understand Yingxuan's motives, and said bluntly, "Let's hear it!"

"Nowadays the empire has established an academy, and Guigu Zongheng is also a famous school all over the world. It would be a good thing for the two of you to follow me to Xianyang, join the Academy of Confucius, and spread the knowledge of Guigu Zongheng."

Ying Xuan sent out his own invitation.

"There are two people in one generation of Guigu. This is the rule. Do you think we will join the academy and become a part of the empire in order to spread the theory?" Wei Zhuang seemed not very interested in Yingxuan's proposal.

"Mr. Wei Zhuang's statement is absurd!" Ying Xuan said seriously: "There is nothing more important in the world's culture than the contention of a hundred schools of thought. Now that the empire has established an academy, hundreds of schools of thought have a place to flex their muscles. Local students enter the academy to study. Those who win can enter the court and become officials."

"It's very different from before. Now that you have a place where you can show your talents, you only need to be recognized for your talents, and you can get high-ranking officials and generous salaries at your fingertips."

Yingxuan said confidently: "So what if Guigu Zongheng is famous all over the world? The empire will still choose to reuse the students from the academy. After all, the people in the academy are considered to be the empire's own. Even if Guigu Zongheng is powerful, they are outsiders after all."

"If things go on like this, even if someone believes in the knowledge of Ghost Valley, there is no use for it, and it is inevitable to change their minds."

"The battle of knowledge is like a world of great controversy. If you don't fight or grab it, you will kill yourself."

"Is this the purpose of the Academy?"

Gai Nie sighed and said, "While giving the various schools of thought a stage, they are also firmly in the hands of the empire. It is truly brilliant."

"This is a conspiracy, which is different from a conspiracy. Even if a hundred schools of thought know the purpose of the empire, they can't change anything. The more prominent the school, the more impatient it is."

"If they don't join the academy, they will be replaced by other schools; if they join the academy, they will become part of the empire."

"Sophisticated deception!"

At this moment, Wei Zhuang paid more attention to the academy. He thought that the academy was just scheming the world's students and suppressing the elites. He didn't expect that even the hundreds of schools who became the sharp blade in the hands of the empire were also included in the empire's scheming.

"So, I solemnly invite the two of you to join the academy. Even if you don't want to spread the theory in Xianyang Academy, you can still settle down in the big county of Qin State. With the protection of the empire, the two of you will not hide in XZ."

"As you said, I will consider it, but not now. After the Dongyue Jianchi incident is over, I will travel to Kyushu. I will make a new decision when I am sure of the empire's true attitude towards the various schools of thought."

Ge Nie thought for a moment, and gave Yingxuan an ambiguous answer.

If he was alone, he would naturally ignore Yingxuan's proposal, but now that he is no longer alone, with one person and one sword, facing the turbulent era, he often feels powerless.

"it is good!"

"Mr. Ge Nie has this intention, I am very happy."

Yingxuan was overjoyed. Gai Nie was too powerful, and he often had disagreements with the empire. It was not cost-effective to send a strong man from the empire to fight. If he could solve the matter without fighting, that was exactly what Yingxuan hoped.

"Then, what does Mr. Wei Zhuang mean?" Ying Xuan turned to look at Wei Zhuang. Quicksand is a powerful force. If it can be used by the empire, it would be the best.

"I'm worried that you won't be able to provide the stage that Quicksand needs." Wei Zhuang didn't rush to agree, he was willing to bargain with Ying Xuan.

"I can't give it, but His Majesty can. As long as Quicksand sincerely serves the empire, there is nothing His Majesty is unwilling to give."

"Marquis Wu of the Empire, Prime Minister of the Imperial Court, Sangong Jiuqing, as long as Mr. Wei Zhuang contributes enough to the empire, everything is possible." Ying Xuan said magnanimously.

"Everything is possible?"

Wei Zhuang smiled playfully, "Your terms are full of temptations, I have to admit, I'm really tempted."

"Then let's find a time, sit down and talk slowly."

Ying Xuan knew that Wei Zhuang was no better than Gai Nie, he had his own ambitions.

Yingxuan was not disgusted with Wei Zhuang's ambition, and even admired it a little, because he himself was a guy full of ambitions.

If Yingzheng's ambition is to create an unprecedented prosperous age of the human race, then Yingxuan's ambition is to follow Yingzheng and become the founder of this glorious era.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Ying Xuan did not expect that he would be somewhat satisfied with such a harvest today.

Gai Nie and I, Wei Zhuang, didn't try to keep Yingxuan, they came out to meet Yingxuan, because they had a relationship with Dongyue Jianchi's entrustment.

The imperial army was pressing down on the situation, their attitude was unclear, and Dongyue Jianchi was in a dilemma, so Guigu Zongheng and the other two were invited to come forward to find out Yingxuan's attitude.

Entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty.Now that Yingxuan's purpose is clear, it's time for them to go back and give Dongyue Jianchi a message.

Back at the garrison of the Kuaiji garrison, he just ordered everyone to enter the Dongyue Sword Pool as planned, and did not tell him about the conversation with Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, which did not cause any disturbance.

But on the side of Dongyue Sword Pool, it was not so peaceful.

In an attic on the mountain behind Dongyue Jianchi, the high-level executives of Dongyue Jianchi gathered together, and Ge Nieweizhuang was also among them.

"It's a joke. I, Dongyue Jianchi, am a first-class family member. How can I condescend to serve the empire?" the elder of the sword master's line said angrily.

"Zhuzi is rampant, he must know the horror of my sword pool." Someone put down the harsh words.

"You want him to look good?" the elder of the Song family said in a strange way.

"Can you fight or kill? Yingxuan is the Marquis of the Empire. If you move him, how can the Empire remain indifferent? I'm afraid you all have forgotten how the Wu people broke through the Sword Pool."

"Your Song family's lineage, the ability to endure humiliation has improved a lot." The elders of the sword master's lineage retorted.

"There's nothing wrong with being wronged, it's better than the sect being wiped out." The head of the Song family, Song Gushan, said calmly while drinking tea.

"Increasing the ambitions of others and destroying one's own prestige, Patriarch Song is going back as he lives."

The sword master made no secret of his disdain for Song Gushan, and began to ridicule Song Gushan.

"It's not as good as others, and the attitude you should have is indispensable. I don't think there is anything wrong with joining the empire."

Song Gushan was used to the sword master's ridicule, and he showed no signs of anger at all.

"With the support of the empire and the strength of Dongyue Jianchi, even if it is a super sect, why should I be afraid of Dongyue Jianchi?"

"At that time, I drank my tea, and the sword master played with your sword, and the uncle and old man could forge swords in the sword pool with peace of mind, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Song Gushan looked at the headed old man in the hall and asked, "Master, what do you think?"

This old man has a very high status in Dongyue Jianchi, and his strength is even more astonishing. It's just that the old man has experienced the chaos a hundred years ago, witnessed the killing of his disciples and the destruction of his sect, and some thoughts have faded away. Now he just wants to live in peace. Concentrate on forging swords.

"Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, and the empire hasn't made a move, yet you are in such a mess, what's the point?"

The old man reprimanded the sword master and Song Gushan displeasedly, then looked in Gai Nie's direction, and asked, "How does the sword master think of Ying Xuan?"

"This is an internal matter of Dongyue Jianchi. We don't want to interfere too much, so we have no comment."

Seeing that Ge Nie was about to say more, Wei Zhuang opened his mouth suddenly, which made Ge Nie stunned for a moment, and finally opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"We took the liberty to ask the two of you to meet with the Marquis Wu of the Empire, which is already embarrassing for the two of you."

Uncle Jianchi sighed, then turned to Song Hongxiao and said, "Hongxiao, you have met Yingxuan, tell me, what kind of person is he?"

Song Hongxiao carefully recalled the details of her contact with Yingxuan, and finally said: "Marquis Changge Wu Yingxuan is very easy-going, although sometimes he is domineering, but he is not difficult to get along with."

Uncle Jianchi nodded and made a decision.

"Then open the door to welcome guests tomorrow, and hold the Sword Forging Competition."

Gai Nie bowed his head and remained silent, Wei Zhuang's mouth curled into a sneer.

"Easy, it's just a disguise to cover up the fangs, so that people can't see what the man-eating beast really looks like."

"Dongyue Sword Pool, it's over!"
