Gao Wu Da Qin: You don’t want the secret to be known, right?

Gai Nie didn't care about Li Si's opinion, or even said that Gai Nie didn't take Li Si seriously at all.

Since becoming the Holy Sword God, Gai Nie's current personal status among humans is second only to Qin Feng.

In addition to being the sword god who protects the country of the Great Qin Empire, Gai Nie is also the acting high priest of military affairs in the Renzu Temple, the chief guest official of the Tianxia Wuzong in Jianye City, Donghai, and the plenipotentiary ambassador of the empire and the earthly immortal world to the heavenly world, not to mention Gai Nie's hidden identity as the messenger of Slaanesh.

With so many titles, Gai Nie is no longer someone that Li Si can challenge.

It can even be said that Ying Zheng can no longer order Gai Nie around as he did before.

This was also the reason why Gai Nie had the confidence to confront Li Si directly in the palace.

In the royal palace, the curtains fluttered gracefully. Ying Zheng, who was sitting inside, was not annoyed by the quarrel between the two. Instead, he was in a relaxed attitude.

For an emperor, it is better to have subordinates who fight among themselves than to have subordinates who are united as one.

If the people below were really united, Ying Zheng would really not be able to sleep.

Ying Zheng smiled leisurely and said, "Gai Nie! What did you gain from this trip?"

Gai Nie said, "We have gained a lot, mainly in three aspects."

Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Tell me one by one."

Gai Nie said, "First, I went to the Human Ancestor Temple. I had discussions with all the ancestors there. They all agreed that the empire is now a foregone conclusion. The four major vassal states of the Warring States period are only in name only, and their demise happened only in the last three to five years."

"The ancestors of the Renzu Temple hope that the empire will not act too hastily and excessively, but should follow the example of the Yellow Emperor. During the battle between Yan and Huang, the Yan Emperor's tribe surrendered, and the Yellow Emperor treated everyone equally with the courtesy of the king, and finally achieved great success."

"The Renzu Temple hopes that the king can treat all people equally and be a truly benevolent and righteous king."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I understand the intention of the Renzu Temple, but there is one thing that is not right."

Gai Nie's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the king was still the same king. His murderous intent towards the four countries had never diminished!

Gai Nie said, "Please give me clear instructions, Your Majesty, so that I can go and negotiate with the ancestral temple."

Ying Zheng said, "It will be too fast to destroy them in three to five years. I will keep the four major vassal states for at least ten years!"

Gai Nie was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "My king, what does this mean? Haven't you always hoped to eliminate the four major vassal states as quickly as possible? Why did you think of prolonging the time? This is not in the interests of the empire! The empire will spend a huge amount of resources to maintain a state of war for one day. It is not appropriate to drag out a matter of three to five years for ten years!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Ten years is just the minimum. If it is longer, it may be several decades or even hundreds of years. As for the reason, it is also very simple."

"In the empire, many people have not yet changed their mindset to the idea that the world belongs to all. They still hold on to the narrow-minded mentality of the vassal states."

"We took too big a step before. We need to slow down now, or else we'll get into trouble."

Gai Nie was half-understanding and half-confused when hearing Ying Zheng's words. What does it mean to have the mentality of "the world belongs to all"?

At this moment, Zhao Gao, dressed in a black and red official robe, appeared leisurely in the shadow of the curtain. "Lord Gai Nie, the king means that someone is busy seizing power and usurping the throne."

As soon as these words came out, Gai Nie's face changed drastically, and he looked at Zhao Gao, "Lord Zhao, please don't talk nonsense in front of the king!"

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "The king is aware of these things, Lord Gai Nie does not need to be surprised."

Behind the curtain, Ying Zheng said, "Zhao Gao and Gai Nie, please talk about your recent discoveries!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gao looked at Gai Nie. "These past few days, Zhao Gao has been following the king's orders to observe the ministers in the court. I've discovered that 70 to 80 percent of them have already started to get in touch with the king's sons. Take Li Si for example. He is very optimistic about Son Gao and has taught him many times how to govern the court."

"There is even a saying in the court that the king who pacifies the world is the next generation, and the king who rules the world is the next generation. The king who pacifies the world cannot rule the world, because too many people are killed in the process of pacifying the world, and the people of the world are dissatisfied. The king who rules the world must be the next generation."

"So, when the world is settled and the time comes to choose a crown prince, they will try every means to get a prince to replace the king."

Hearing this, Gai Nie shouted angrily, "You're looking for death!"

In the area within a ten-meter radius around Gai Nie, the sword energy was as fine as a cotton needle wind, and in a whistling motion, it turned the surrounding curtains, floors, decorations, palace pillars, everything into dust!

Zhao Gao said slowly and methodically, "However, these ministers are trapped by the thoughts of various schools of thought. Their thoughts are still stuck in the ancient and stupid inheritance system of the Zhou and Shang dynasties. They have no idea that our current era is the Gaowu Era."

"In an era like ours, the throne is not about inheritance, but about eternity."

"How can a founding monarch like the king be unable to rule the world?"

"If those who hate the King are unwilling to cooperate with the King, then with the Empire's technology, the King can use three thousand years, five thousand years, or fifty thousand years to outlast them all!"

"Until there is a generation willing to cooperate with the King, that will be enough."

"As for the king's sons, they can only accept them if the king gives them. If the king doesn't give them, whoever dares to take them will die."

Given Zhao Gao's sarcastic voice and his temperament, no one would object if he were to kill Gongzi Gao now.

Gai Nie restrained his sword energy and said calmly, "The empire can only be the king's empire. This is the only prerequisite for my loyalty to the empire."

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "As expected of you, Lord Sword God, you have not let the king down. Now the princes are ready to make a move. If you unify the empire quickly, it will be a bad thing for the empire and will make the empire lose its center of gravity. At this time, instead of waiting for these former ministers to embarrass the king, why don't we select a group of officials with new ideas and new times for the king as soon as possible to replace them! Lord Gai Nie, don't you agree?"

Gai Nie said, "Gai Nie completely agrees with Lord Zhao Gao's approach. The empire is unified, the Gaowu era is coming, the Human King's new policy, the corrupt ideas of the old era should be eliminated, and the court should have some fresh blood."

At this moment, behind the curtain, Ying Zheng said, "Zhao Gao, go and get busy!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gao retreated into the darkness and disappeared.

Gai Nie watched Zhao Gao retreat and sighed secretly. Li Si and the others were still thinking of making trouble, but they didn't know that the king had already prepared a successor for them in advance.

With the king here, what can you so-called ministers accomplish?

Ying Zheng continued, "You just mentioned three things. The first one is about the ancestral temple. What are the second and third things?"

Gai Nie said, "Reporting to the king, the second and third things are one thing, mainly related to Qin Feng's [Primordial Light]."

"The Celestial Emperor Zhang Bairen sent an envoy to discuss this with me in detail. The Emperor clearly pointed out that Qin Feng's disappearance could not have been caused by any other third party, except Gaowu Universe."

"And Gaowu Universe detained Qin Feng on the grounds that he assassinated Fantian. In fact, that is not the case. Zhang Bairen does not think that Qin Feng is capable of killing Fantian. He thinks that Gaowu Universe is blaming Qin Feng for this."

Ying Zheng said, "Since Gao Wu Yuzhou was the one who blamed him, why did Qin Feng claim it?"

Gai Nie said, "Zhang Bairen suspected that Qin Feng claimed it because he was also involved. In other words, Qin Feng knew the truth about Fantian's death and predicted that Fantian's death might affect Pangu Universe, so he actively joined the game."

"After all, Qin Feng is a well-known person with a cold nature."

"Qin Feng must have used the truth about Brahma's death as leverage to negotiate with Gaowu Universe, but it's a pity that Gaowu Universe refused to negotiate with Qin Feng and directly sent him to prison."

"But Qin Feng is not a person who is content with the status quo. He has established contact with the outside world through some reasons, and even took the initiative to break the relationship with the heroes of the Pangu Universe and promote their growth. He wants to use them to break the system of the Gaowu Universe."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, "The Immortal Emperor's opinion is very pertinent, so the Confucian Yan Hui spoke out?"

"This." Gai Nie said, "I went to the East China Sea branch of Confucianism in Pangu Universe halfway and learned that Confucianism has no connection with heaven and man. Yan Hui spoke out because the Jixia Academy seemed to have contacted the Master, and the Master gave instructions, so they spoke out."

Ying Zheng was stunned and stood up. "Master? Which master? Master Meng or Master Confucius?"

Gai Nie shook his head, "I don't know. Confucianism takes this matter very seriously. Most people don't know about it."

"But it has been more than ten years since the last ancestor worship in Fengdu City. If it is Master Meng, I think Master Meng is also a teenager now, about the same age as Qin Feng when he left Longcheng."

"Master Meng and Qin Feng still have a master-disciple relationship. Master Meng taught Qin Feng in the past, and now it's time for Qin Feng to repay Master Meng."

"When Qin Feng is in trouble, even if Master Meng has not recovered his memory, he will still be able to sense it and ask the Confucianists to help Qin Feng. This is also paving the way for him."

Ying Zheng nodded, "Very good, if that's the case, then there's no need to say more. You can rest in Xianyang for two days. Soon, noble guests from the Jiehai will arrive. You can accompany me to receive them then."

A wealthy man from the sea of ​​boundaries?

Is he a messenger from the Supreme Universe?

should be!

With Ying Zheng's status, it is unlikely that he would meet little Karami.

Gai Nie thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, there is one more small matter that I am not sure whether I should mention or not."

Ying Zheng stood up and stretched his body, saying, "Then don't say it."

"Let's talk about it." Gai Nie said, "The sales of [Light of the Beginning] are impressive this time, you have seen it too."

Ying Zheng said, "I see. I have a collector's edition here. The content of [The Light of the Beginning] is detailed, the writing is elegant, and it is full of positive energy. What's wrong?"

Gai Nie said, "That's right! This book was made by Qin Feng's sister, but it costs a lot of money to make a book, especially a collector's edition like this."

Ying Zheng said, "How could Qin Feng's sister be short of money? Isn't Qin Feng's property all in Hu Hai's hands? Hu Hai has plenty of money, can't she just go to Hu Hai?"

Gai Nie said, "But if we go to Hu Hai, Hu Hai will definitely ask how Qin Feng is in contact with her, or even ask more. So Qin Feng's sister found another way. She used the name of the Empire Finance Department to create a virtual Empire loan and swindled a large sum of money, probably several million in Zhongjie Qi..."

Ying Zheng immediately stopped his movements, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "If there is Qin Feng, there must be a sister! It turns out that this Primordial Light was built with my money!"

Gai Nie said, "My lord, the loan hole has been filled now. Qin Feng's sister told me that it will never happen again next time."

Ying Zheng asked, "Do you believe what she said?"

Gai Nie smiled awkwardly, "I, of course I don't believe it. She is now a small Qin Feng. It would be strange if I could believe it."

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves, "Tell her that next time she needs money, she should just write an IOU to the Imperial Finance Department, and don't use the Imperial Finance Department to run a Ponzi scheme again! I know the tricks of the brother and sister better than they do! Qin Feng's exam papers clearly stated it!"

Gai Nie said, "Yes, my king, don't worry, I will warn her when I get back."

As Ying Zheng left, he thought of something, "How did she borrow so much money so quickly?"

Gai Nie said, "Her method is very simple, even very direct, but it is super effective! She uses the Baiyujing information system to send messages to all the citizens of the empire outside the mother planet. I, Ying Zheng, will send you money. When the world is unified, I will make you a general, a marquis of a hundred households, a thousand households, or a marquis of ten thousand households..."

"How ridiculous!" Ying Zheng said angrily, "This is all Qin Feng's fault! I'll settle it with his brother later!"

Gai Nie watched Ying Zheng leave and said, "Yes, I will make a note of it."
