Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 77 The position of Tingwei belongs to the Nine Ministers. Fusu entered the palace to ask for permission and investigate various schools of thought!

In the spacious and luxurious hall of the imperial palace, many officials belonging to the Imperial Court gathered together.

But the person sitting in the first seat was Fusu in a white robe, and on his left and right were Yang Rui and a young official in official uniform.

His name was Nei Xuanjiu, the only son of Nei Shi Teng. He was also a member of the Court of Justice, and was the Left Supervisor of the Two Supervisors. He was on par with Li Quan, who was previously the Right Supervisor.

However, Li Quan has been dismissed from the post of Right Supervisor because of his rebellion against Qin, and the position is temporarily vacant.

During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties before the Qin Dynasty, the world was governed by three dukes and nine ministers. When it came to the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had great courage and gave the three dukes power that was second only to one person and above ten thousand people. He abolished the three dukes, set up the Prime Minister's Office, and appointed two prime ministers to command all officials in the world. He also set up a general to be in charge of all the armies of the Qin Dynasty.

But because of Li Si's misfortune, the Qin Dynasty now only has the left prime minister Feng Quji left, and Fusu is concurrently the grand marshal.

"The person who took action is undoubtedly a great Taoist and Confucian Golden Immortal Realm practitioner, but who exactly he is remains to be discussed!" Nei Xuanjiu glanced at the bamboo slips in his hand, then put them down and looked at Fusu, the first one who looked thoughtful.

Prior to this, at the court meeting, Ying Xuan publicly issued an order to thoroughly investigate the death of Bao Yun. All related matters must be investigated and no one can be spared.

This is equivalent to giving the green light to the people investigating the case. Anyone or anything believed to be related to Bao Yun's death can be arrested and sent directly to prison.

Some ministers in the court thought that this was a bit violent and complained about it.

But all these complaints disappeared after Fusu took charge of the matter.

After all, with the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty personally in charge, there were people who dared to complain, but at this critical juncture, there were really no such people.

"Are there really no suspicions about Peng Yu and the dean of Haoran Academy?" Yang Rui frowned.

Bao Yun died. He had checked with Xia Wuqie from the Imperial Hospital and confirmed that there were three residual magical powers on the corpse.

Taoism, Confucianism, and military strategists originally thought that it was Peng Yu, the green-robed scholar, and Li Quan who did it, but now the results have overturned that.

Because Li Quan did not practice the military tactics!

At the previous court meeting, everyone firmly believed that Li Quan must have practiced the art of military strategy.

But now, the result is shocking!

Not only did Li Quan not practice the art of war, but he practiced the art of Confucianism instead. He had a lot of magical powers of righteousness. Even Fusu felt sad when he saw it. It was a pity that such a Confucian scholar wanted to rebel against Qin and become an enemy of the Qin Dynasty.

This made everyone feel troubled!

If the person who killed Bao Yun was not Li Quan, Peng Yu or the scholar in green robe, doesn't it mean... there is still a murderer hiding in Xianyang City!

And, there are at least three!
The other party even dared to attack the Nine Ministers and actually killed a Chief Justice. If the news were to get out, who wouldn't be terrified?

"I know great practitioners of the Golden Immortal Realm in both Confucianism and Taoism, but there should be none in Xianyang City." Fusu looked thoughtful.

When he was young, he followed a great scholar to practice cultivation, and had a deep connection with the various schools of thought. Among the various schools of thought in the world, he had come into contact with several great practitioners in the Golden Immortal Realm. If he was in this Xianyang city, there was no way he didn't know about them.

"Could it be that someone has made a breakthrough?" Nei Xuanjiu guessed.

Although as the various countries were conquered by the Qin Dynasty, the power of the various schools of thought was greatly weakened, falling from the lofty clouds and no longer having the power they once had.

However, the Taoist tradition of hundreds or thousands of years has a strong foundation that cannot be compared with that of the Qin Dynasty.

Not to mention, almost every one of the various schools of thought are related to the immortals and gods in heaven.

If there are a few great practitioners in the Golden Immortal Realm hidden here, it is not impossible. "A new great practitioner in the Golden Immortal Realm?" Fusu thought thoughtfully.

In his memory, there seemed to be a few Confucianists who had reached the peak of the Xuanxian realm and were only one step away from a breakthrough.

But Taoism...wait, Taiyi Mountain?
Fusu frowned and suddenly thought of Peng Yu. In his early years, he had visited the Taoist holy land Taiyi Mountain and became a Taoist disciple, practicing Taoist methods.

It was for this reason that after Peng Yu came down the mountain and arrived in Xianyang City, he was able to catch the eye of Ying Zheng with his own cultivation and became a member of Fulong Court. Later, he used this to allow his clan to take root in Daqin and become a powerful person in the world.

If it wasn’t Peng Yu…could it be that a disciple from Taiyi Mountain had gone down the mountain?

"There are indeed a few extraordinary Taoists on Mount Taiyi, but if they go down the mountain, the Iron Eagle Warriors stationed at the foot of the mountain should not fail to notice them, right?"

Fusu's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he thought of the various fairy mountains and holy places in the world today.

After experiencing the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, the Earthly Immortal Realm was rebuilt once and then divided into four major continents.

Among them, Daqin is located in the Central Plains of Dongsheng Shenzhou. Tracing back to its origins, it is the place where the human race originated in the Dark Ages. Therefore, it has always been regarded as the orthodox human race.

And in this Central Plains land, perhaps because of the strong incense and luck of the human race, the heaven and earth have given birth to many fairy mountains and holy places.

Taiyi Mountain is one of them. It is occupied by Taoism, the most powerful school among all the schools of thought, and is the orthodox Taoist sect in the world.

But at the same time, Taoism is the only school of thought among all the schools of thought that is openly hostile to by the Qin Dynasty.

The reason for this is a secret that happened hundreds of years ago.

In the past, Laozi, the Taoist saint, in order to plot against the Western religion, converted the barbarians into Buddhas. He led Duobao Taoist, a great disciple of Jiejiao, to rule the West. He lived in Lingshan and became the ancestor of all Buddhas, thus dividing a part of the destiny of the West.

At that time, Laozi's route of extradition started from Hangu Pass. He rode a cow for 30,000 miles, with purple air stretching for who knows how many miles. He pointed out a way to the west for Duobao Taoist.

There was nothing wrong with this road itself, except that at that time there was a 30,000-li purple aura behind Lao Tzu, which enveloped countless people in Hangu Pass, numbering at least hundreds of thousands. They all followed Taoist Duobao and went to the West, becoming monks in the Three Thousand Buddha Countries, chanting scriptures and reciting the Buddha's name day and night.

From then on, every household in Hangu Pass kept their doors and windows open, and stopped to look out.

My only wish was that my family and friends who were extradited to the West at that time would be able to return home one day.

But unfortunately... I only hear the Buddhist scriptures being recited in the West every day, but I don’t see the wailing of thousands of households in Hangu Pass at night.

As the instigator, the Taoist saint Lao Tzu was of too high a level. The Qin Dynasty did not, and did not dare, to retaliate.

But after Laozi ascended to heaven and left, the Taoist tradition suffered.

Although they occupied Taiyi Mountain, a blessed land, they had never dared to go down the mountain for hundreds of years.

The reason for this was that the Qin Dynasty stationed three thousand Iron Eagle Warriors at the foot of Mount Taiyi to guard against the Taoist disciples on Mount Taiyi.

In order to avoid overly provoking the Qin Dynasty and causing rivers of blood, the Taoists rarely went down the mountain for hundreds of years.

In his early years, Fusu went to the mountains and had contact with Taoism under the guidance of a Taoist master.

"Taoism... Could it be those Taoists from Mount Taiyi who did it? Or was it Bei Mingzi or True Man Chi Yang who took action?" Fusu's eyes flickered, and he had a vague feeling that there might be a deeper purpose behind Bao Yun's death!
Moreover, I'm afraid the sword is aimed at the Xianyang Palace!

"Ying Xuan...is the target the Emperor of Qin?" Fusu took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Xianyang City.
