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

Chapter 9: The emperor has means and a heart of a tiger. All the civil and military officials lose more than they gain!

The Qin Dynasty had mountain gods. Don’t forget that this is a mythological world with a primitive background.

Under the joint rule of gods and humans, all the mountains and rivers in the Qin Empire are inhabited by mountain gods and land gods.

Among them, the mountain god in Mount Li has a very ancient and unfathomable origin.

Since Zulong unified the world, he sent countless people to survey the mountains and rivers, thus determining the position of Mount Li as the mountain god.

Her name is Lishan Old Mother, and she is the mountain god appointed by Zulong himself.

There was dead silence in the hall!

Although the imperial mausoleum and mountain temples are to be repaired...

Of course!

But the number of civilians increased sharply from 800,000 to 1.2 million...

It’s really surprising!

Ying Xuan's eyes turned cold. He really just spoke without thinking!
But this is just the beginning!
Next, court officials kept coming forward, all suggesting that Ying Xuan recruit civilians to repair the imperial mausoleum in Mount Li.

One after another…

Gradually a trend was formed!
This also made Ying Xuan realize it later, and he reacted and stared at Li Si deeply.

It turned out to be waiting for him here!
how?

Do you want to use this method to force him and tell him who is the real ruler of this court?
If hundreds of thousands of civilians were really conscripted, the people would be in an uproar and the country's fortunes would collapse!
How can the Qin Dynasty rule the world?
however!
Just when Ying Xuan was about to open his mouth to scold, a system prompt suddenly appeared!
[If you find a minister making a suggestion, please accept it with caution. Reward: 200 Luck Points]

Ying Xuan's eyes flickered, and he was not surprised by the appearance of the system prompt.

The only interesting thing is...

Be careful in accepting advice!

In an instant, Ying Xuan's thoughts raced like lightning!

It gradually calmed down!

"Since you are all so enthusiastic about this, if I continue to stop you, it would seem that I do not respect filial piety!"

Ying Xuan glanced meaningfully at the ministers kneeling in the hall, and said calmly: "Then let's do this!"

"Prepare the decree!"

"All officials have the intention to emulate Zulong and express gratitude to the Emperor Lishan Mausoleum, but the construction has not been completed yet!"

"now…"

"Every household shall send out 3,000 people to join the team that repairs the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum!"

"Those who have achieved cultivation should be placed first. There should be no mistakes. Set off immediately!"

"Then, send out notices!"

"Recruit another 400,000 civilians to repair the city!"

"All conscripted civilians will be given money and food according to the labor law!"

"It depends on each household and its implementation!"

In the hall, all the officials looked up suddenly and looked at Ying Xuan presumptuously.

They were shocked and couldn't believe it!
what! ?

Ask them to send out… 3,000 people! ?
Moreover, those who have achieved cultivation must come first?
What a joke!
Even Li Si frowned, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

“This matter still needs careful consideration…”

A minister hurriedly stood up, without even having time to bow or salute, and blurted out that he wanted to stop this from happening.

Although they have some weapons in their house, they can't withstand such an attack. They will be seriously injured and all their accumulated wealth will be thrown into the huge pit of building the Imperial Mausoleum in Mount Li.

And, there are no benefits!

"Consider carefully?"

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the minister indifferently, and said with a hint of coldness in his tone: "What I mean by careful consideration is...what the Shaofu Lord said just now, wasn't it just a casual remark?"

"Is this another blasphemy against the Ancestral Dragon?"

The words fell!

The court minister's expression changed immediately, and he actually felt an invisible pressure!
Boom!

A rumbling sound like thunder came from his body, as if he was having a stress response!

It rumbles and moves like the roar of an animal!
Obviously, this is also a great cultivator with great abilities.

However, no matter how unfathomable his cultivation was, the moment he met Ying Xuan's calm eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and suppressed all his might.

next moment--

His body trembled, and he seemed to see the huge black dragon, a thousand feet tall, lying in the sky above the Qin Dynasty, casting a cold gaze at him!
The man on the dragon throne... although he is weak and just an ordinary mortal, he is also the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty!
Even though he is far inferior to Zulong, he is responsible for the fate of the country and has great majesty. If he commits insubordination, he will only suffer the consequences!

Just think of this!
The Shaofu took a deep breath, bowed with his hands clasped, and confessed his guilt: "This minister has been disrespectful, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Ten strokes of the court stick!"

"After the court session, take it yourself!"

Ying Xuan didn't say much, just uttered this sentence lightly, then looked at the civil and military officials and looked down at them.

"Anyone else in the Qing family has any objections?"

The words fell!

In the hall, the court officials were struggling with their expressions, but they did not dare to speak nonsense.

After a long while, they could only swallow the bitter pill with reluctance, prostrated themselves one after another, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

Ying Xuan nodded upon seeing this, very satisfied, then turned away and announced his departure from the court.

……

Before long, this decree spread throughout the entire Qin Dynasty!

Public opinion around the world is boiling!

Although the common people had some complaints, they immediately put out the anger in their hearts when they thought that the powerful people in Xianyang City were the same as them and were even willing to lead the way.

Then, they threw themselves into this trend in a mighty manner.

At one time, hundreds of thousands of civilians were conscripted!
People rushed to Mount Li from all over the country to repair the imperial tomb and the mountain temple.

As for the sons of civil and military officials such as Li Si, Feng Quji, and Li Xin, even though they were extremely reluctant, they had to obey the imperial decree and follow those accomplished guest officials or elders on the journey.

But it is really a bit frustrating!

...Xianyang Palace, sleeping hall.

After the court session, Ying Xuan came here, dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked to the bedroom, and the screen door in front of him opened to the sides. His view gradually widened, and he saw a view of the imperial garden.

Ying Xuan stood on the stone steps, looking into the sky, his eyes looking a little strange.

In his sight, a black dragon, about a thousand feet long, was coiled above the city of Xianyang.

The black dragon is surrounded by tremendous power, and its mighty power is so majestic that it seems as if it is about to fall!

However, although this black dragon was extremely huge, it kept its eyes closed and blood continued to seep out of its body, dripping onto the ground.

The dragon's blood dripped away, and in a trance, it brought about a wailing sound!
This is a sign of loss of luck.

The black dragon is a symbol of the Qin Dynasty's destiny and represents the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

But now, the black dragon is bleeding!

Every drop of dragon blood will cause harm to Daqin.

Maybe it's a flash flood, or an earthquake, tsunami, famine, etc.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are all due to fate.

"According to the historical trajectory, the Qin Dynasty fell in the second generation, in large part because of this constant exploitation of the people!"

"But I used my own methods to curb this trend and turned danger into safety!"

"This also prevented the Great Qin's luck from decreasing too much..."

“It’s even gradually recovering!”

A hint of doubt appeared in Ying Xuan's eyes as he stared at the black dragon lying in the sky above Xianyang City.

That’s right, what surprised him was not the black dragon bleeding or the loss of Qin’s fortune.

But compared with before, the Qin Dynasty's luck has not been lost too much.

before this.

Due to the death of Zulong, the court is unstable and the people are in turmoil!
As a result, the fate of the Qin Dynasty became unstable and showed signs of crumbling.

It is said that Ying Xuan has just issued an order to continue to recruit civilians and labor...

At least the black dragon hovering over Xianyang City would lose one of its claws, and its luck would collapse!

but now!
absolutely not!

"That's it!"

"Don't think about these anymore..."

"If I were strong enough, I wouldn't have to be so cautious like I am now!"

Ying Xuan's mind moved slightly, and he called up the system panel -

【Emperor System】

[Host: Ying Xuan]

[Identity: Emperor of Qin]

[Kung Fu: "Fire"]

[Realm: Early stage of Celestial Realm]

[Luck points: 380]

"In this mythical world with a primitive background..."

"If you want to survive, you have to be self-reliant!"

"All great power belongs to oneself!"

"As long as I am strong enough, even if I become a tyrant, I can still stabilize the situation in the world!"

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Ying Xuan's mind.

Authority comes from strength!
If he had the strength of a Heavenly Saint now...

Not to mention conscripting hundreds of thousands of civilians, even if he wanted a nine-day fairy to sleep with him, there wouldn't be any problem!
"The only problem is, I don't know if I can continue to stabilize the situation after the gods and immortals intervene?" Ying Xuan thought to himself.

at this time--

A shrill voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji requests an audience!"

Ying Xuan collected his thoughts, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Yes!"

Not long after, Feng Quji, dressed in black official uniform, slowly walked behind Ying Xuan.

"Your Majesty, this old minister pays homage!" Feng Quji bowed respectfully.

Ying Xuan turned around and cast his eyes over. After a while of scrutiny, he said softly, "Prime Minister Feng came to visit me after leaving the court. I think he has something to ask me. You can tell me directly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Quji bowed and said without beating around the bush with Ying Xuan, "Your Majesty, what you said at the court meeting today may not be appropriate."

"If we confront Li Si and his people head on, I'm afraid it will lead to a struggle in the imperial court. By then, the flames of war will spread outside the imperial court, causing chaos in the world!"

really!

Ying Xuan guessed that it was because of this incident.

In the court, civil and military officials were divided into two factions, and there were also many rules to follow among the civil officials.

Generally speaking, they are civil servants with cultivation, and court officials without cultivation, or who are casual or wild cultivators. The positions and factions of the two are clearly defined.

"I understand what Prime Minister Feng means, but Prime Minister Feng should also know what kind of person Li Si is."

"Even if I can reject Li Si's advice in public, does Prime Minister Feng think that Li Si really cannot continue to implement this matter?"

"Now that we can drag all the officials into this, it's already the best situation!"

"Besides, Prime Minister Feng, don't forget how I sat on the throne." Ying Xuan shook his head and said.

Before this, Zulong suddenly passed away, and he was the only prince left in Xianyang City.

Therefore, Ying Xuan took advantage of the situation, rose up, gathered a large number of supporters, directly announced it to the world, succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin, and confirmed his status.

Moreover, he quickly buried Zulong's coffin in the imperial mausoleum in a very short time, and suppressed all voices of dissatisfaction with the principle of filial piety.

It was for this reason that, in the court today, Li Si forced him to issue an order to conscript civilians in the name of repairing the imperial mausoleum for Emperor Zulong. Ying Xuan had no choice but to agree, and he also dragged all the officials into the water.

Moreover, the civil and military officials could not be dissatisfied. After all, it was the duty of an official. It was not just him who was shackled, but the other court officials as well.

However, although Ying Xuan dragged all the civil and military officials into the water, in fact, it was also a helpless measure.
