Chapter 916
Fan Xian had clung to a golden thigh. From now on, not only would he be safe and worry-free, but he could also learn proper, genuine things.
The top-tier ministers and generals of the Great Qin were definitely not something a small place like the Qing Kingdom could compare to.
Fan Jian was full of joy.
"Thank you, General Wang. With General Wang's guidance for my son, I am extremely relieved."
Wang Jian waved his hand with a smile.
"This kid Fan Xian has a bit of wit. You can rest assured. His Majesty intends to send him to the Great Qin to assist Crown Prince Fusu later."
"Since he is my disciple, even Crown Prince Fusu will give him some face."
"However, I usually stay in the cultivation world to accompany His Majesty, so I don't have much time to teach him."
Fan Xian gave a cheeky grin.
"It doesn't matter. Isn't there General Meng Tian, and my master, the Military Immortal Han Xin, known as the Sage Teacher of the Military School of Shenzhou through the ages?"
"You kid are quite slippery."
Wang Jian pointed at Fan Xian with a smile.
"Alright."
Ying Zheng gave a light laugh and looked around at the crowd.
In this instant, everything in the past and future of Fan Jian and the others was seen by Ying Zheng.
Fan Jian and the others also sensed this extreme feeling of being spied upon and immediately lowered their heads with some worry.
"Interesting... Ye Qingmei?"
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly, but this immediately shocked Fan Jian, Chen Pingping, and the others.
"Your Majesty... how does Your Majesty know?"
Chen Pingping looked at Ying Zheng nervously.
"A mere small world, I can see your destinies at a glance. However, that Ye Qingmei is indeed a strange woman."
"Pity..."
Chen Pingping immediately asked eagerly:
"Your Majesty, do you know what happened to Miss..."
"Haven't you already guessed it?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Pingping. The latter was struck by lightning, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground.
He gave a tragic laugh.
"As expected... as expected, it was you!"
Killing intent surged in Chen Pingping's eyes; he wished he could immediately kill his way into the palace to avenge Ye Qingmei.
Fan Xian was also silent for a moment, then said softly:
"Your Majesty, my mother, she..."
Ying Zheng looked at Fan Jian. Seeing that the latter gave a bitter laugh but expressed nothing, he immediately told Fan Xian his true identity.
After a while, Fan Xian sat on the ground, dazed.
"I... I am an Imperial Prince? My father killed my mother? Why... why did it have to be like this!"
"Just a struggle for power."
Ying Zheng supported his cheek with little interest.
"That Emperor of Qing feared Ye Qingmei's influence and feared her threat, so he used schemes to calculate and kill her."
"Ridiculous... such an Emperor, what great things can he accomplish?"
Ying Zheng said proudly:
"A true Emperor must have the ambition to embrace the world and the confidence to control everything. Even if there are countless strong subordinates and countless powerful ministers, he must have the confidence to control everything."
"Fearing and killing talent is simply the act of a fool who cuts off his own future."
"If you don't have the confidence to control everything, why be an Emperor?"
Wang Jian also gave a disdainful laugh.
"How can that Emperor of Qing compare to His Majesty? I conquered seven kingdoms and destroyed five of them, with monstrous military achievements. Prime Minister Li holds the world's ministers in his hands, with great power in his grasp."
"His Majesty still treats his meritorious officials well. The act of 'discarding the bow once the birds are gone' has never occurred. Even a famous God of Slaughter like General Bai Qi can be tolerated and controlled."
"His Majesty is the true supreme Emperor."
"If an Emperor truly has the ability, no matter how strong his subordinates are, he will not worry."
"Like His Majesty..."
Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng with worship.
"Even though we soldiers have great military achievements, who in the world dares not to respect His Majesty's decree?"
"His Majesty's words are superior to the will of heaven and earth!"
"A true Emperor never fears the strength of his subordinates. They will always remember:"
"No matter how powerful their subordinates are, they will never shake their supreme imperial might!" ===== CHAPTER 917 =====
674. Ying Zheng: Fan Xian, Find Time to Resurrect Your Mother
Hearing Wang Jian's words, Chen Pingping and the others felt their gazes grow even dimmer.
Wang Jian was not joking; like him, having swept across five states, his military achievements were already supreme, making him a Grand General who could be enfeoffed no further.
Ying Zheng could easily entrust military power to him without the slightest worry that Wang Jian would cause trouble.
Firstly, this was the supreme self-confidence of Ying Zheng as an Emperor; he always believed that everyone must obey his words.
Secondly, this was the breadth of mind Ying Zheng possessed as an Emperor through the ages.
The tragedy of "when the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbits are caught, the hounds are cooked" would never happen to Ying Zheng.
Because he had the confidence that he was the strongest king in the world, and no one could defy him.
It was precisely because of this that Ying Zheng, who stood alone as a nation, achieved his greatness.
Chen Pingping gave a desolate smile.
If Ye Qingmei had appeared in the Great Qin, appeared by Ying Zheng's side, perhaps she really could have displayed her talents without being feared.
No...
It should be said.
In this world, at the very least, among those who are not cultivators, there is no one worthy of Ying Zheng's fear.
This is the self-confidence brought about by his powerful personality and strength.
In comparison, the Qing Emperor appeared far too narrow-minded.
Chen Pingping said leisurely:
"If Miss could have been born in the Great Qin, perhaps none of this would have happened..."
Ying Zheng said calmly:
"Ye Qingmei was indeed a genius, but her thoughts were too radical; even if one wishes to pursue equality for all, one must proceed step by step."
"In an ancient dynasty, proposing this was already defying all the powerful and influential people in the world; offending everyone with power and status has never led to a good outcome."
"Shang Yang has already proven this."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng looked at Fan Xian and said pointedly:
"True fairness has never existed; even in the so-called enlightened modern society, it remains the same. She was too naive."
"Her ideas, let alone in ancient society, would not be tolerated by the upper classes even in modern society."
"The world itself is one where the strong are respected; you will understand this clearly after you begin cultivation."
"Take the leader of the Black Jiao clan, for example; he is a peak existence in the Refinement of Qi into Spirit, and currently one of the strongest in the cultivation world, aside from Shushan."
"In the face of such an existence, you speak of equality for all..."
"I can tell you that those who once verbally confronted the leader of the Black Jiao clan not only died themselves, but their worlds were also annihilated."
"The entire world had to be buried with that one person."
"Even so, this is the most normal thing in the cultivation world; the strong are supreme."
Fan Xian was dazed, and after a long while, he gave a bitter smile and nodded.
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance. True fairness does not exist in this world..."
"It is good that you understand."
Ying Zheng sighed and said softly:
"You see me as incomparably powerful, but do you know that I, too, have things I am forced to do?"
