Chapter 175

"Although attaching yourself to others can still obtain these things, these things are ultimately obtained through others. If one day you and the Qin Wang turn against each other, he can take these things away at any time..."

Since serving Su Xuan as her master, Yan Lingji and Su Xuan were grasshoppers on the same rope. She clearly hoped that Su Xuan could achieve a great cause.

"Your worry is not unreasonable."

Su Xuan was not angry either; instead, he praised Yan Lingji and then talked about another thing.

"On the day of the Zilan Pavilion incident, you did not go, so you don't know that after killing Xuan Jian, I had a conversation with the Qin Wang."

Su Xuan's tone was indifferent as he recounted some things he had told Seeing Ying Zheng that day: "This world is bigger than you imagine. Beyond the nine provinces, there are other nine provinces. This world is smaller than you imagine. Beyond the world, there are other worlds..."

"You have such worries because you have never seen the true face of the world!"

As Su Xuan spoke, he put down the chess piece in his hand. With a turn of his palm, a bright mirror condensed. He used the "Moon-Taking" technique again. With the "Moon-Taking" technique, he condensed a bright mirror, and then, in the mirror, the map of the world situation appeared. Then, the world shrank, turning into stars, and the universe's phenomena were all contained within it.

Yan Lingji watched the changes in this picture, and Su Xuan's calm voice rang in her ears. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and her heart swayed with her gaze.

Everything Su Xuan said overturned her past cognition of the world.

She certainly knew that in the current world, there were more than seven states; beyond the seven states, there were forces like Baiyue.

Beyond the nine provinces, there were also races like the Xiongnu and Donghu.

But she did not expect that in the areas beyond these races, there were other countries and races, and among them, there were powerful dynasties that could rival the Qin Guo.

The Persian Empire, the Maurya Empire.

Yan Lingji had never heard of these countries and dynasties, but since they were spoken from Su Xuan's mouth, and Su Xuan spoke as if it were true, they clearly existed.

However, this was not the end.

Su Xuan later said that the world they lived in was a huge sphere.

In the night sky, those stars were all stars similar to the sphere under their feet.

The stars seemed small only because they were too far away. Some of them were not known how much larger than the star under their feet.

Yan Lingji subconsciously wanted to reject Su Xuan's statement; after all, the statement that the sky is round and the earth is square had existed since ancient times.

However, Su Xuan gave some evidence, and these pieces of evidence were all verifying that the earth under their feet was a sphere. Coupled with the fact that Su Xuan had no need to deceive her, although it was still somewhat difficult to accept in her heart, gradually, Yan Lingji began to believe Su Xuan.

After finishing the world and the universe.

Su Xuan said: "There are heavens beyond heavens, worlds beyond worlds. Precisely because the world is so vast and life is so limited, for me, I must seize every moment to improve my strength!"

Time is the most precious thing.

He had already told Yan Lingji the specific reason earlier.

Creating a force and competing for the world, although there was a certain probability of success, must be done through some dishonorable means, which was both laborious and time-consuming, and he did not know how much time it would consume.

Conversely, the Qin Guo had exerted the strength of six generations, the general trend had been formed, and the Six States of Shandong, after years of weakening, were already weak and unable to withstand a single blow. It was an easy thing for the Qin Guo to take the world.

Instead of being laborious, it was better to take this ride and sit back and enjoy the fruits.

Because of Su Xuan's words.

Yan Lingji was immersed in the truth of the world. She wanted to verify the truth of the earth through the methods Su Xuan mentioned.

In the following time, she had no heart to play chess with Su Xuan.

That hard-won competitive spirit quietly dissipated.

Since Seeing Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang and returned to the palace, he had not contacted Su Xuan again.

0 ········Seeking flowers···· ···

It looked as if he had forgotten Su Xuan, this fellow traveler.

But Su Xuan knew that Seeing Ying Zheng was waiting.

Waiting for an excellent opportunity.

The capping ceremony was the opportunity he was waiting for.

The capping ceremony was an important ritual passed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the present.

At that time, some people believed that a scholar was only considered an adult at the age of twenty, could take a courtesy name, and could hold office and raise children. Therefore, at the age of twenty, a grand ceremony needed to be held, at which time the elders would put a special hat on him, called the "Capping Ceremony." And the King's capping ceremony meant that from then on, the young King would step to the front stage, hold the reins of power, and personally handle state affairs.

Seeing Ying Zheng had long reached the age to take personal control of the government. If twenty was the standard for scholars, he was now even slightly overage. This year, he was already twenty-two. Even if Lu Buwei, even if Lao Ai and others still wanted to interfere in state affairs and wanted Seeing Ying Zheng never to come of age, this was clearly unreasonable. Facing the ancestral system of the Qin Guo and even the traditional rituals of the whole world, they did not dare to risk universal condemnation.

And this time, since returning to the country, Seeing Ying Zheng had used all the forces he could use to continuously create public opinion pressure among the people.

Wantonly advocating for the capping ceremony.

Even though Lu Buwei had once planned the Xuan Jian assassination of Seeing Ying Zheng, facing the pressure of public opinion and the accusations of many old ministers in the court, he finally relented.

He would personally hold the capping ceremony for Seeing Ying Zheng in the ancestral land of the Qin Guo, Yongcheng.

Whether Lu Buwei was willing or not, it was hard to say for now, but he was ultimately not the Qin Wang. Even if he had acted on behalf of the Qin Wang to handle state affairs for many years as the Regent Chancellor, facing this kind of public opinion pressure, he only had the path of submission.

Because Lu Buwei was the Regent Chancellor, he could not easily leave Xianyang, so this matter was handed over to the Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, to be responsible for.

He would personally go to Yongcheng to prepare everything for the Qin Wang's ceremony in advance.

Lao Ai was the Empress Dowager's person. Just in time, the Empress Dowager had been complaining of illness some time ago and had already gone to Yongcheng to recuperate. In this way, it could be considered a matter that served both purposes. Beg ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
