Chapter 210 Emperor

Qin Palace.

"This is the book written by my junior brother."

The palace is high and wide, and Li Si is under the throne, very respectful.

Gai Nie stood next to King Qin and glanced at him. He had never seen King Qin's face like this before.

"Judging from his talent and learning, he is enough to be the teacher of a king. Li Si, your junior brother is very interesting."

"On behalf of my junior brother Han Fei, I would like to thank the King for your praise!"

Li Si knelt down, raised his hands and spoke.

"It's just that there are many people in this world who exaggerate. If you want to get a thousand-mile horse, you have to see it in person."

The young King of Qin had a smile on his face. As the monarch of the Qin Kingdom, he had reached the age where he should be in charge.

However, the internal power of Qin State has always been in the hands of Prime Minister Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei has been in business for a long time and has deep roots, but at this moment, he remained silent.

The crisis lies in this change. The transfer of power in Qin will never be peaceful and bloodless. Some people have realized this, such as Li Si who is kneeling on the ground, and Gai Nie who is guarding King Qin with a sword.

However, while many people were watching, King Qin, who was sitting on the throne, always remained calm, as if nothing would happen.

"What does the king mean?"

Li Si felt a little nervous, as if King Qin's next words had great power and could turn mountains and seas.

"Such a great talent deserves a trip to South Korea to see him in person."

When Li Si heard what King Qin said, his expression changed greatly and he knelt on the ground with his head.

"Your Majesty, it's a thousand miles away from Xinzheng and the journey is difficult. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

"If you want to win a thousand-mile horse, the risk is worth taking."

The emotions in Li Si's heart were far heavier than the emotions shown on his face at this moment. Doesn't King Qin understand how dangerous the situation inside Qin State is at this moment? Leaving the palace this time will definitely be dangerous.

"Kings!"

Li Si wanted to remonstrate again, but was stopped by King Qin.

"No need to say more. Later, I will find an opportunity to ask you to go on a mission to South Korea. This time, you will take the lead."

Li Si saw that King Qin had made up his mind. Although he tried to dissuade him, he could not disobey him in the end.

"I obey the King's wishes!"

Li Si stood up. Although the panic in his heart did not affect his body and movements at this moment, his steps were still a little frivolous.

"Lee Si!"

Just as Li Si took a few steps outside the palace, King Qin's voice came over again.

Li Si turned around in a hurry, raised his hands and listened to King Qin's words.

"This time, don't let me down!"

These profound words made Li Si's heart skip a beat. Then, he waved his sleeves and bowed respectfully.

"I will live up to the king."

Li Si retreated slowly. King Qin looked to his side. The man on Gai Nie's face was still hesitant.

"Do you also want to remonstrate with me?"

"I want to advise you that this trip is dangerous, but I know that the king has already made up his mind and will not change it."

King Qin leaned slightly, leaning on the imperial case, and suddenly asked.

"Gane, what do you think are the necessary qualities of a king?"

This question was very simple for Ganie, and he answered it easily.

"Enrich the country, strengthen the army, and secure the people!"

"What about the Emperor?"

However, King Qin's next question put Gai Nie in trouble.

For thousands of years, those sage emperors have become legends, a benchmark and a slogan in the mouths of all schools of thought.

"I don't know!"

Gai Nie's answer made King Qin smile, and he seemed to appreciate Gai Nie's confession. He is not like those scholars from hundreds of schools of thought who ask what the Holy King should be like?

"Whether it's Wen Ming, Cheng Tang, Ji Chang, or Ji Fa, they are already legendary figures that no one today has ever seen. Let alone Xuanyuan and Shennong from a long time ago."

King Qin's words made Gai Nie think deeply for a while, but what he said next made Gai Nie even more surprised.

"For the emperor, for the emperor. The only memory that people today have is how the emperors with the surname Ji in the past two weeks managed to survive in the troubled times where the feudal princes were fighting."

"The emperor no longer has the majesty of the emperor, and only has a name. He huddles in a corner, watching his former slaves wield power, hoping for their mercy."

Having said this, King Qin sighed.

"I wonder how King Wen and King Wu would feel if they were reincarnated and saw their descendants like this?"

"Kings!"

After reading the article written by Han Fei, King Qin suddenly became sentimental.

"Then what should a true emperor be like?"

After Gai Nie opened his mouth, he saw King Qin standing up and looking at the vast square outside the palace.

"This Han Fei may be able to give an answer."

King Qin turned back and looked at Gai Nie.

"If, he is not just a person who can boast."

Ge Nie knelt down on one knee, holding King Qin's sword in his hand, his face extremely respectful.

"I understand. However, I still feel uneasy in my heart. At this moment, the situation within the Qin State is extremely turbulent. I am afraid that it is difficult to protect the king with just the sword in my hand."

King Qin smiled and walked off the throne.

"Gai Nie, I very much agree with what you just said about the qualities necessary for a king. However, your opinion is only from the perspective of a minister."

"What is a king? The stars are shining over the moon, the ministers are bowing their heads, and the people are in full submission. Whether it is in the court, among the troops, in the market, or those who are hiding in the dark to watch the excitement, I am the one who wants to be the king. Everyone in the Qin Kingdom has to make a choice, who will be their king!"

King Qin walked out of the palace step by step. Although he was young, he already had the temperament that a king should have.

Gai Nie was behind, and at this moment, his heart was filled with admiration. Perhaps, he will witness a unique emperor accomplishing great achievements through the ages.

"I will protect the king's safety until death."

Gai Nie murmured something in the empty hall, with a look of determination on his face.

The moonlight was dim, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, but his thoughts were a little vague.

The winter snow has fallen, and this coming year is destined to be an unusual year.

The king of Qin finally grew up and it was time to take control of the power of Qin. However, this may not be good news for Lu Buwei.

What Yi Yin did to Taijia, and what Zhou Gong did to Cheng Wang, are the models of monarchs and ministers throughout history.

However, the relationship between powerful ministers and monarchs has often ended in bloodshed over the past hundreds of years. At this moment, even if Lu Buwei wanted to retreat, it would be difficult for him to get out of Yongcheng's side.

Once the incident occurs, it will inevitably cause huge waves.

Lu Buwei had complicated thoughts, but he finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to persecute this old minister?"
