Ying Zheng looked toward Seeing Xiao Meng and said softly:

"Senior Seeing Xiao Meng, I leave Elder Barnabas to you. I will have the Shadow Secret Guards and the Black Ice Terrace cooperate with you. Please be sure to host Elder Barnabas well."

Seeing Xiao Meng nodded calmly, sat beside the Ice God, and said nothing.

As for this mechanical palace dedicated to Ying Zheng, for the time being, it belonged to the Ice God.

Ying Zheng looked toward the three of Jin Dang and bowed:

"Ancestors, please follow me."

Extending a hand to lead, Ying Zheng followed respectfully behind Xuan Chen.

Before long, there was no one else present in this place.

……

Today, the Great Qin court could be described as quite lively.

Not only had many old ministers who had been enjoying their retirement arrived, but even many of Ying Zheng's sons were all in attendance.

Except for Huhai…

Huhai and Zhao Gao had already been placed under house arrest by Ying Zheng.

This made the turmoil within the court even more turbulent.

Regarding the rumors of the immortals descending, these shrewd people naturally had all heard the news.

To be honest, perhaps they had come this time with the intention of probing for information.

However…

Ying Zheng did not care what they were thinking, and neither did Jin Dang and the others.

In their eyes, the schemes and calculations of mortals were quite interesting dramas.

Let them scheme back and forth; in the end, it was nothing more than the petty cleverness of mortals.

For a cultivator, if something was displeasing to the eye, it was just a matter of a slap.

The crushing weight of absolute strength naturally brought about a high-and-mighty, dismissive mindset.

Cultivators and mortals were not the same kind of existence to begin with.

Before long, sounds of footsteps echoed through the spacious great hall.

Many court officials looked up and were immediately shocked.

Ying Zheng and Jin were following behind the three, sitting below those three people of immortal bearing!

581. How does one act as a cultivator Emperor?

The three people sitting at the head of the court, as soon as they sat down, crossed their legs and closed their eyes to regulate their breathing. The oppressive feeling from high-dimensional life lingered in everyone's hearts every moment.

This oppressive feeling was something even Ying Zheng possessed now.

Many court officials were somewhat bewildered, but Great Qin was Ying Zheng's one-man show; if he didn't speak, no one dared to ask.

Great Qin's court meetings were not as cumbersome as those of later generations, requiring whip cracks or eunuchs shouting loudly.

Everything was in its infancy; holding court was just a meeting to study work, so there was no need for so much formality.

Ying Zheng sat firmly and surveyed the many ministers below with a calm gaze.

Perhaps due to the high-dimensional life pressure after becoming the Black Bird, Ying Zheng could see clearly what these ministers were thinking in their hearts at this moment.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng seemed to understand why cultivators looked at mortals like they were looking at cute little pets.

Both sides truly lacked the qualifications for equal exchange.

He was only equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator now and felt this way; what about Jin Dang and the others, who were at the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?

No wonder they appeared so leisurely and contented after arriving in this world.

"A few days ago, I already performed the Fengshan sacrifice at Mount Taishan, forging the position of Human Emperor. From now on, Great Qin shall be the first unified dynasty!"

Many ministers were stunned for a moment. They had thought Ying Zheng would speak of the immortals first; they hadn't expected…

But the ministers did not react slowly, hurriedly cupping their hands and saying:

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Great Qin!"

Words that had sounded like nothing before now sounded awkward to Ying Zheng.

But for now, there was no need to dwell on such matters.

We shall talk about it later.

"Li Si."

"Your subject is here!"

Ying Zheng looked toward Li Si and said lightly:

"Great Qin is unified, and the world is all Qin people. Now that the flames of war have subsided, the various laws of the past seem somewhat harsh."

"Great Qin now needs to recuperate. Li Si, take people to revise the Qin Law and cancel or change the unreasonable and harsh systems."

"As soon as possible."

Li Si was stunned for a moment and quietly looked up at Ying Zheng, seeing the unquestionable look in the latter's eyes.

Li Si immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

He understood that perhaps this was not something Ying Zheng had thought of; otherwise, Great Qin had been unified for so many years, why did he only think of changing the Qin Law after returning this time?

Most likely, it was requested by those immortals.

Since that was the case, Li Si could not refuse and could only think of ways to improve the Qin Law as much as possible.

However, this left many ministers somewhat dazed.

The Qin Law…

This was something Ying Zheng had never thought of changing, yet this time…

It seemed that the events experienced during this Fengshan sacrifice had a great impact on Ying Zheng.

Among the many sons, Fusu, who stood at the very front, had a flash of joy in his eyes.

He was not very clear about Ying Zheng's changes, and he was not very concerned about the rumors of immortals appearing.

But now that Ying Zheng was willing to make the Qin Law more gentle, did that not mean Ying Zheng intended to implement the Confucian policy of a benevolent ruler?

Thinking of this, Fusu became somewhat excited.

It must be said that Fusu was indeed somewhat pedantic, but overall, he was also considering the people.

Immediately, without waiting for those around him to react, Fusu stepped forward.

"Father Emperor changing the Qin Law is a meritorious deed for the millions of Great Qin people. Great Qin will surely be able to recuperate, and the people will surely be able to live and work in peace."

"Your son thanks Father King on behalf of the millions of people in the world!"

Ying Zheng looked toward Fusu, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

Although this eldest son's study of Confucianism was now pedantic to a frightening degree, but…

He was ultimately thinking of the people.

The second-generation Qin Emperor truly needed a benevolent ruler who would allow the people to recuperate.

Just as he thought of this, Fusu spoke again.

"Your son has an uninvited request; I ask Father Emperor to agree to re-implement enfeoffment! To recreate the Zhou Rites!"

At this moment, it was no less than dropping a nuclear bomb on the entire court.

Many sons and princesses looked at Fusu in shock, and then a trace of schadenfreude flashed through all their eyes.

Who didn't know that re-implementing enfeoffment was a taboo for Ying Zheng? Because of this matter, how many Confucian scholars had he beheaded?

Fusu still dared to bring it up?

Today was going to be a good show.

Meng Tian took a deep breath and sighed.

Their Meng family was too close to Fusu, and now…

It was feared that something bad would happen.

Ying Zheng surveyed the court with an expressionless face.

"Who else has the same thoughts as Fusu?"

Many ministers hurriedly lowered their heads, though quite a few Confucian scholars stood out with their heads held high.

Ying Zheng suppressed his anger and stared at these people.

He almost wanted to transform into a Black Bird and blow all these people to death in one breath. **CHAPTER 850**
