He looked solemn and ignored Li Si, whose expression had changed greatly. His eyes looked directly at Wang Yi, and a low voice came from his mouth: \"General Wang Yi, do you really not recognize me anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Or is it that you don't want to acknowledge my identity as the Qin Wang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Yi’s eyes tightened. He fell silent. How could he not recognize the person in front of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After King Zhuangxiang passed away, his son Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, with Lu Lu Buwei as the Chancellor, and later honored him as the Chancellor. Wang Yi, Meng Ao, Wang He, and Meng Ao, Biao Gong were the great generals of Qin, and several people assisted in the government together, supporting the young Qin Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Up to now, if you calculate carefully, it has been almost ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ten years is by no means a short span of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was enough for the once-young Qin Wang to grow into a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regrettably, even though the Qin Wang had grown into a man, what Wang Xuan Jian harvested was only deep disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Qin Wang, seemingly because his late father died early and he was raised by women, had a weak character and lacked the bearing of a ruler. Not only did he leave all matters of the court to the Chancellor, Lu Lu Buwei, to decide, but to curry favor with his mother, he even enfeoffed the eunuch Lao Ai as the Marquis of Changxin, granting him Shanyang Commandery as his fief, and further bestowing upon him the commanderies of Hexi and Taiyuan as his private lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To grant such extraordinary honors to a eunuch, even if that eunuch was the Empress Dowager’s confidant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But to a general like Wang Xuan Jian, who had followed Bai Qi from the lowest ranks of foot soldiers and climbed to high office step by step through military merit, this was a supreme insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What merit did Lao Ai have? How could he be enfeoffed as a Marquis!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the stated reason for Lao Ai’s enfeoffment sounded fine—that he had served the Empress Dowager with merit—in Wang Xuan Jian’s eyes, such a reason was clearly insufficient to convince the masses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When it came down to it, it was because that Qin Wang, raised by women, was weak, incompetent, and lacked the slightest bit of his own judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Had he not been incompetent, a year ago, the Lord of Chang’an, Cheng Jiao, would not have chosen to rebel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Lord of Chang’an, perhaps precisely because he saw this and felt unwilling to accept it, took such actions. Unfortunately, the Lord of Chang’an’s rebellion ultimately failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian did not have much of a reaction to the fact that Cheng Jiao failed in his rebellion and died, but he still saw one thing from this event.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was, even Cheng Jiao, the Qin Wang’s own younger brother, had lost faith in the Qin Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking that the State of Qin would still be led by such an incompetent Qin Wang for many years to come, and thinking of the failures in Qin’s military campaigns over these years, Wang Xuan Jian grew increasingly furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He absolutely would not allow the many territories and cities that the Lord of Lord Wuan had conquered through his southern and northern campaigns to be handed back to the six states of Shandong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yes, although he held a grudge against Qin King Zhaowang for ordering the death of the Lord of Lord Wuan, he had no complaints against the State of Qin itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the contrary, he hoped more than anyone for the day when Qin would dominate the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was not only his own long-cherished wish, but also the long-cherished wish of the Lord of Lord Wuan during his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, in the hands of such a Qin Wang, all Wang Xuan Jian saw was despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since he could see no hope at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since the Qin Wang was so incompetent, then for the sake of the State of Qin, he did not mind... replacing the Qin Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the past, the Martial King died early, and then King Zhaowang ascended the throne; from then on, Qin’s might shook the world, suppressing the six states of Shandong for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian, though he had complaints against King Zhaowang, had never questioned King Zhaowang’s ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And because there was such a precedent, he began to pin his hopes on the next King.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, when the person in the shadows handed him this blade, he resolutely grasped it in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Back when the late King passed away, the great general of the army, Meng Ao, had already died several years ago, and Piao Gong’s health was gradually failing; now, plagued by serious illness, it was clear he would not live much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of the three, only he could still lead troops into battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Wang Xuan Jian also understood that he was old, and he could not hold on for many more years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the end of his life, although he could not see the day when Qin would dominate the world, he did not want to see Qin decline just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His feelings for this country were deeper than anyone else’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After these thoughts flashed by, Wang Xuan Jian’s gaze turned cold again. \"Who are you? Why should I know you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing such treasonous words, Gai Nie immediately prepared to take a stand and reprimand Wang Xuan Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Si’s heart also grew increasingly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even after the King had revealed his identity, it had not changed Wang Xuan Jian’s resolve, which meant that Wang Xuan Jian had already decided to walk this path to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng’s expression was also grave, but he did not fly into a rage because of it. To be precise, he had actually been suppressing the anger in his heart, and the reason he was so restrained was because of the words Su Xuan had spoken earlier, which made him understand the purpose behind Wang Xuan Jian’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General Wang Xuan Jian, does the Lord of Lord Wuan know you are doing this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng looked at Wang Xuan Jian and asked this question abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing the familiar title \"Lord of Lord Wuan,\" Wang Xuan Jian finally lost his composure. The Lord of Lord Wuan held an extraordinary significance for him, but because the Lord of Lord Wuan had been ordered to die by King Zhaowang, successive Qin Kings since King Zhaowang had shown no sympathy for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because to sympathize with the Lord of Lord Wuan was equivalent to denying King Zhaowang’s actions and believing that what King Zhaowang did was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What are you trying to say?\" Wang Xuan Jian’s voice was cold; he was forcefully restraining his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: \"Whether King Zhaowang was right or wrong to order the death of the Lord of Lord Wuan, it has been a long time, and it is not for me to judge. Besides, King Zhaowang was, after all, the late King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What I want to say is that the things the Lord of Lord Wuan did not finish, and the great cause King Zhaowang did not complete, from now on, I will complete them for them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng organized his words and spoke of a concept he had heard from Su Xuan during their conversation on the way out of the State of Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The six directions share the same wind, the nine provinces are united as one; destroy the six states of Shandong, establish an unprecedented dynasty, and make the world—settled as one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, Wang Xuan Jian’s aged body trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng had revealed the ambition in his heart, which could not help but move him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the past, although the Lord of Lord Wuan campaigned against the six states and plundered many cities and lands from them, bringing Qin to an unprecedented peak, he had never thought of destroying the six states.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Or rather, the idea of destroying the six states and unifying the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Was still too far away for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They only thought of constantly weakening the six states, plundering their land, and subsequently strengthening Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Zheng’s words allowed him to see a clearer path and a greater ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was an aspiration even more magnificent than that of King Zhaowang or the Lord of Lord Wuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian was almost swayed by Ying Zheng, but he quickly forced himself to cool his heart. \"It sounds nice, but wanting to accomplish this is not so easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you have the ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since you ascended the throne, Qin’s foreign wars, although they have had some gains, are ultimately not as good as in King Zhaowang’s time, and you have even suffered several defeats... not to mention these, even your own younger brother chose to betray you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This is enough to prove that in his eyes, you are an incompetent person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Xuan Jian’s words were cold and very direct; however, Ying Zheng did not get angry at this. Speaking to this point, Wang Xuan Jian finally admitted that he was the Qin Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>",1544,"2026-06-17T04:20:16.697Z","2026-06-17T08:59:55.704Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1eb534f6ac055163451e8f8ea7e95c8c1b4b82a94ef157b8844932d3c14f4a12","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-98","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-96",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
