The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 872 Bingzhou Grand Priest [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Sometimes, people just lack self-awareness. The more obsessed they are, the deeper they fall. That's why Confucianism says 'He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened'!"

Yan Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with these old guys was extremely tiring.

Especially since Taoists have strange abilities like mind reading, one must be on guard against being seen through by them at all times.

Fortunately, everything went as planned and nothing went wrong, otherwise no one would dare to imagine the destructive power of the three masters after they went crazy.

"Is Bingzhou short of a priest?"

Brown Crown suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that the Taoists were trying to return the favor.

They created two great immortals, but both of them were from Qin. This had a great impact on Bingzhou.

If I could make Heguanzi a tribute to Bingzhou...

"Senior, are you willing to become a priest of Bingzhou?"

Yan Yan asked decisively.

"I have traveled extensively for many years, and my footprints have covered almost the entire Central Plains of China. I originally planned to retire in the State of Chu."

Brown Crowned Man stroked his goatee with a smile.

"I never thought that I would be able to see China's foreign threats eradicated forever in my lifetime. I really want to see the scenery of this grassland!"

Yan Yan instantly understood what Heguanzi meant.

"I dare to invite you to enter Bingzhou!"

Yan Yan bowed and took the initiative to invite him.

"Let me make it clear first. I only take the salary and will not be called upon by Bingzhou. I will only help when Bingzhou is in danger!"

Brown Crown said with a smile.

"Can!"

There is nothing wrong with being gentle.

Brown Crowned Zi is now recognized as one of the two great immortals, so there is no need for him to take any action. As long as Brown Crowned Zi announces his joining Bingzhou, his identity can bring great benefits to Bingzhou.

The influence of immortals is no joke.

Among all the princes and nobles in the world, who doesn’t want to live forever?

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, how many are not immortals?
As long as Heiguanzi stays in Bingzhou, countless nobles and wealthy people will come to Bingzhou to retire.

Even if Bingzhou only needs to let Heguanzi live in a city, that city can be called a fairy city, and countless nobles will flock to it, and the housing prices and commodity prices will rise rapidly.

Even if you just throw away some of the used items of the Brown Crown, they can be sold at a sky-high price.

This is the influence of an immortal.

As he thought about it, Yan Yan began to lose his focus again.

Looking at Yan Yan with empty eyes, Heguanzi always felt that he was shrouded in a sense of foreboding. It seemed that his sudden impulse to join Bingzhou was not a good thing.

"His Majesty!"

Fortunately, Mo Ya woke Yan Yan from his distraction.

"Senior, please!" Yan Yan bowed and invited Brown Crowned Man to the king's carriage.

Brown Crown did not hesitate either.

Yan Yan naturally did not neglect Ying Qushui. When it comes to swordsmanship, Ying Qushui is recognized as the best in the world.

Ying Qushui was a feudal lord of the Qin State, so naturally he couldn't take Bingzhou away, but he could lend him people.

Bingzhou, like Qin, was a martial country, and the most common weapon used by ordinary people was the sword.

There is no need for Ying Qushui to customize any advanced sword skills for Bingzhou or anyone else. It is enough to create a battlefield sword skill suitable for ordinary soldiers to train and kill the enemy.

And these will not take up too much of Ying Qushui's energy and time.

Therefore, on the way back to the palace, Yan Yan's mind was working rapidly, trying to squeeze out the value of the two immortals. When the king entered the city, the people were also surprised. The king and his ministers rode in the same chariot. This treatment was only enjoyed by the prime minister in the whole Bingzhou. Other generals who had won great victories had this treatment when they returned triumphantly.

Therefore, the people of Bingzhou were also very curious about who the two people standing next to Yan Yan were.

Mo Ya also knows how to create momentum. After all, His Majesty has already invited Hei Guanzi to enter Bingzhou and become Bingzhou's tribute, so it is natural to create momentum for Hei Guanzi.

Therefore, the Jinyiwei spies lurking in the crowd secretly spread the identities of Ying Qushui and Heguanzi, and also let the onlookers know the identities of the two.

"As expected of our Emperor, even the Immortals have to bow down to him!"

The people were also crazy and felt a sense of pride.

Brown Crown was also a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of assassination?" asked Brown Crowned Man curiously.

He had seen many kings and had also seen how terrible the standards of the kings' travels were.

The bigger the princes, the more they feared death. They even needed the army to clear the way when traveling and to impose martial law in advance to restrain the people.

But when Yan Yan traveled, in addition to the royal carriage being pulled by four horses in a uniform solid color according to the emperor's standards, there was only a small team of cavalry guards.

What's even more terrifying is that the people of Bingzhou don't seem to be afraid of these cavalrymen at all. They even crowded forward, wanting to get a clear look at their emperor, but kept a certain distance and would not collide with the king.

"The king is not aloof. I would rather mingle with the masses."

"Although Bingzhou has the Imperial Censorate and the Imperial Guards, it does not mean that there are no corrupt officials or those who take bribes and pervert the law!"

"And if the people in Bingzhou have suffered injustice, stopping the king's carriage is their last hope."

"So, in Bingzhou, not only me, but all the censors and nine officials will not alarm too many people when they travel, leaving them a final chance to appeal."

Yan Yan explained with a smile.

Ying Qushui and Heguanzi looked at Yan Yan in surprise, and finally understood why the people were so crazy and enthusiastic.

As for assassination, if anyone dared to assassinate Yan Yan or those high-ranking officials in Bingzhou, I am afraid that the people of Bingzhou would cut them into pieces and skin them alive.

This may seem like a small gesture, but it is very popular.

Ying Qushui even wondered whether he should let Ying Zheng do the same.

But this idea was quickly rejected by Ying Qushui.

It’s not that Ying Zheng didn’t have such courage and influence, but when Qin conquered the princes, it offended too many nobles, and those who wanted to assassinate Ying Zheng could line up from Xianyang to Beiye.

"I've made the right decision to come to Bingzhou!" Heguanzi smiled and nodded, looking at the yearning and eagerness in the eyes of the people, which he had never seen anywhere else.

"Only in government offices are we the ones in power. Outside of government offices, we are just ordinary people in Bingzhou!"

Yan Yan said with a smile.

"It's hard to replicate!" Ying Qushui also sighed.

This kind of situation cannot be replicated by other princes except Yan Yan and Bingzhou.

Even after Yan Yan's death, it would probably be difficult for later generations in Bingzhou to reach the current heights.

"Senior, have you thought of a True Lord Immortal name?"

Yan Yan suddenly asked.

After becoming an immortal, he naturally could not use the name Heguanzi anymore, as it was not in keeping with the immortal's dignity.

Zi is just a title for outstanding people among the Hundred Schools of Thought. Those who can be given the title of Zi are all giants and capable people among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

But for the immortals, Zi is not enough, and even Gong is not qualified enough.

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng gave Ying Qushui the title of Lord.

When communicating with others, Ying Qushui would not call him by his title, but called him Qushui Gong, to show respect and affection.

Now, when Ying Qushui returns to Qin, he may become the Qushui Sword Immortal.
