Ying Zheng thought about it for a long time, and finally, for various considerations, told his ministers what Wang Ben had said.

When I first heard about this, I was not only surprised, but I was also half-believing and half-doubting whether it was true or not.

After several ministers left that day, Ying Zheng kept Li Si and asked him directly whether the name of the Moon God Chang Xi was recorded in the classics.

"Your Majesty, the legend of the Moon God has existed since ancient times. The classics do not clearly record that the god's name is Chang Xi. Some also call her Wang Shu or Chang'e."

Li Si answered with his hands clasped, neither denying nor admitting:

"However, the sun and the moon are in the sky. If there really is a moon goddess, she must be a powerful and majestic goddess. It will be of great benefit to the Qin State to have Your Majesty interact with the moon goddess."

His eyes were filled with longing, and he seemed happy for Ying Zheng and relieved that the Qin Dynasty could become strong. His black beard trembled.

Ying Zheng showed a faint smile on his face and waved his hand to let them go.

Now he is still young, and the six kingdoms have not yet been unified. There is an unprecedented goal waiting for him to achieve. Although he has the desire to seek immortality, it is not strong.

However, if there really was a Moon Goddess coming to help the Qin State, Ying Zheng would naturally respect her.

........................

Three days passed, half a month passed, a month passed, until three months passed, and there was no trace of the legendary Moon God.

The entire Qin court was depressed, ashamed and angry, and the way they looked at Wang Ben became strange.

"Wang Ben wanted to avoid being charged with the flooding of Daliang, so he made up a story to deceive His Majesty."

Such news was rife among Qin's civil and military officials, causing a sensation.

Wang Ben's father even asked his son directly whether the news was made up.

My son, it’s okay to be afraid for a while. If you admit your mistakes and correct them, your father will still protect you. If you wait any longer, the king will know that he has been fooled, and the whole royal family will be in disaster.

Wang Ben felt extremely depressed, and under so much pressure, he almost believed that he had made up the story out of fear of punishment.

Not only that, the news that Qin general Wang Ben met the Moon God had already spread to Qi, Chu and Yan through merchants.

The three kingdoms were unable to hold back at first, and when the so-called Moon Goddess did not appear, they all mocked Qin's self-conceit and stupidity in their own ways.

The State of Qi placed great emphasis on commerce, and the King of Qi hinted that wherever the caravans arrived, they should spread the story that the Qin monarch and his ministers believed they had met immortals.

The Qin people in the story can be as stupid as they can be, and then there must be a smart person from Qi who exposes the scam.

The Chu State was the most superstitious about witchcraft and wizards, and held the most sacrifices. The so-called Chu folk customs of "attaching importance to lewd sacrifices and worshipping witches and ghosts" were exactly this kind of thing.

So the King of Chu first consulted his most favored wizard:

"Will the Moon Goddess of Heaven really come down to earth to meet the princes and kings of the mortal world?"

The great wizard wore a colorful bird hat. He looked very old, but his dirty eyes flashed with cold light. His hoarse voice sounded:

"The gods are supreme, and the King of Qin is just a mere mortal. Unlike our country, we offer sacrifices every year and pray for favors. How could the Moon God come down to see him? Ha, it's just a rumor to fool the people."

The King of Chu was relieved. He really believed in gods. Qin was so powerful, and the Moon Goddess expressed her favor to Qin. Doesn’t it mean that God also believes in Qin’s unification of the world?

At least while I am alive, the State of Chu will not perish.

The State of Chu followed in the footsteps of the State of Qi and made a big fuss about the stupidity and arrogance of the Qin people. Not yet satisfied, it directly sent envoys to deliver a letter.

It clearly states that it is heard that the State of Qin met a god, and our king is very envious. He hopes that he will have the honor to meet the god.

This made the whole Qin State furious.

The weakest State of Yan, on the other hand, remained quiet as a chicken. In fact, Prince Dan of Yan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

However, King Xi of Yan was afraid that the King of Qin would get angry, so he attacked Yan directly and pinned him down.

Prince Dan of Yan said bitterly to his confidant, "Father was a coward and missed a great opportunity!"

Faced with one question after another, Ying Zheng remained calm and maintained his trust in Wang Ben.

........................

It is the full moon night of the 15th again. The bright moon hangs high in the sky, emitting a cold light. Only a few stars accompany the moon.

On the occasion of Queen Dowager Huayang's birthday, Ying Zheng generously held a grand banquet to express his respect for the queen dowager who had always supported him.

The Qin Palace was brightly lit, and the people sitting at the desks could influence the situation of the six countries with a casual word.

"Grandson wishes the Queen Mother a Happy New Year"

Ying Zheng's voice rose slightly, and his narrow eyes, under the light, were like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an unconcealable sharpness.

He stood up, picked up the wine jar and said to Queen Dowager Huayang, then took a sip of the wine.

"The king is thoughtful"

The well-maintained Queen Mother Huayang smiled reservedly and drank the wine jar in front of her to give face to the King of Qin.

The King of Qin congratulated the Queen Mother first, and naturally the others had to follow suit. There were very few concubines in the harem who were qualified, so they all congratulated together under the leadership of Lady Chu, the princess of Chu who gave birth to Ying Zheng's eldest son Fusu.

Everyone congratulated Empress Dowager Huayang on her birthday, and they were all smiling and cheerful, without saying a bad word. Instead, there were many colorful articles, and the scene was very lively.

At this moment, a discordant voice sounded:

"Since the King of Qin is so filial to the Queen Mother, why doesn't he ask the Moon Goddess to bestow the elixir so that the Queen Mother can regain her youth and prolong her life?"

The Chu envoy stood up with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Seeing that everyone was glaring at him, the Chu envoy became even more excited. "Why are you looking at me? There is no Moon Goddess in Chu. Hahahahahahaha."

"The Chu State does not believe in gods?"

Ying Zheng stood up slowly and uttered a word softly. His eyes just fell on the envoy of Chu, which made him tremble with fear and his hands shook.

The envoy of Chu dared to speak so arrogantly, of course he had his support. The Queen Mother Huayang was a princess of Chu, and the King of Qin had to give face to the envoy of Chu at her birthday banquet.

In addition, the State of Chu was also quite powerful, so it was naturally very unhappy with the tyrannical Qin that was aggressively trying to unify the world.

Various reasons contributed to the irony of the Chu envoy's remarks today.

“The time has come”

Ling Xiao took down the telescope and gave the system a command:

"Don't skimp on the special effects later, and just buy decent speakers. They won't be able to hear the difference anyway. Also..."

"Hey, host, please trust this system for once. I know everything."

At this time, its image changed greatly, from a light ball into a small and cute little rabbit with snow-white fur and round eyes, jumping down from the rock.

"hope"

After saying this, Ling Xiao quickly put on the Moon Goddess's special costume and got into position.

Just as Ying Zheng was about to order someone to drag the envoy from Chu away to sober up, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Suddenly, a faint music sounded, coming from far away and moving closer, touching the heart.

The clear light from the bright moon in the sky slowly condensed into the shape of a woman. Her long hair was lightly tied up, with strands of black hair hanging down to her waist. Her clothes swayed gently without wind, and her jewelry jingled all over her body.

A very cute white rabbit lay obediently in His arms, spotless.

The place where the goddess stood seemed to be favored by the bright moon, and was obviously much holier and brighter than the surrounding area.

No one noticed, but the system was grinning and doing eight things at once!

The belt moves automatically without wind, the blower, the music coming from far away - the unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with a small speaker.

Guanghui, haha, you deserve to have a super car-mounted high-function flashlight. I won’t talk about the others, but just these few things cost you tens of thousands of points!

Everyone breathed softly and looked at the goddess who appeared out of nowhere in shock.

Wang Ben wanted to cry even more, he was sure that this was the Moon Goddess!
