Chapter 636

Xunzi stroked his beard and pondered: "Regarding the theory of heaven's mandate and destiny, I only figured it out recently, but this Tai'e sword is indeed extraordinary."

"Oh? Please explain in detail, Uncle Xun."

Zhang Liang asked with a curious face.

"I don't know the full details either; I only know that this sword originally belonged to the Chu nation."

"At that time, the Chu nation was still very weak, far less prosperous than the surrounding nations."

"After the Jin nation learned of the Tai'e sword's miraculousness, it immediately sent envoys to demand it, and after being rejected, it launched a major crusade."

"According to records, the Jin nation's 300,000-strong army arrived at the city walls, threatening the King of Chu to hand over the Tai'e sword."

"The King of Chu refused directly, climbed the city wall holding the Tai'e sword, used blood as a guide, and pointed the sword directly at the enemy army."

"I saw a group of majestic sword qi surging out from the Tai'e sword; the sand and stones outside the city flew, covering the sky and the sun, and the Jin nation's troops were in chaos because of this."

"The Chu army took advantage of the situation and killed their way out; flags fell to the ground, blood flowed for a thousand miles, and the 300,000 Jin troops were completely wiped out."

"What is said in the ancient books is precisely that the King of Chu was unyielding in adversity, which drew out the invincible power of the Tai'e sword that has existed between heaven and earth; wherever the sword points, nothing is indestructible."

"At that time, I watched the ancient books and thought it was a mystery, but now it seems that it was precisely the feudal lord heaven's mandate that the Tai'e sword brought with it that played a role."

"And later the Chu nation became more and more prosperous, and generations of Chu kings were all strong feudal lords, perhaps it also has something to do with this Tai'e sword."

Xunzi said slowly.

Zhang Liang finally knew the whole story and could not help but gasp.

To think that this feudal lord heaven's mandate sword is so powerful that it can make a country prosperous.

But times have changed.

The Great Qin has unified the world, and its military edge is invincible.

With the tyranny of the First Emperor of Qin, how could he tolerate the Confucian leader carrying the feudal lord heaven's mandate.....

Especially since Funi has always advocated governing the country with the Kingly Way, which is diametrically opposed to Ying Zheng's philosophy of governing the country with the Hegemonic Way, and they are incompatible.

"The Tai'e sword falling into the hands of the Confucian School is probably not a good thing."

Zhang Liang murmured, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.

……

The sixth private room in the West District.

Prince Fusu was also very shocked.

Sure enough, as he expected, this Great Qin Famous Sword Ranking exposed many secrets.

For example, this Tai'e sword, which comes with the feudal lord heaven's mandate.

Now the Great Qin has unified the world; to be a feudal lord in the Great Qin, how could the Great Qin tolerate it?

"Famous swords choose their masters; since the Tai'e sword fell into the hands of the Confucian School, it shows that the Confucian School has long had the intention to rebel against the Qin; it must be eliminated!"

Han, who was on the side, said with murderous intent.

Prince Fusu shook his head.

He was not as extreme as Han, but he absolutely could not tolerate the Confucian School mastering the feudal lord heaven's mandate sword.

"The Tai'e sword must be recovered; if the Confucian School is unwilling to hand over the Tai'e sword, then we will decide later."

Prince Fusu tapped his fingers on the table and set a policy.

However, what he cared about most was not the Tai'e sword, but that the new Mohist leader was actually Yan Crown Prince Dan.

This is undoubtedly very bad news for the Great Qin.

Back then, the six nations rebelled against the Qin, but each nation also had a pro-war faction and a pro-surrender faction.

At that time, the Yan nation was weak, and it was impossible to defeat the strong Qin, so many ministers advocated surrender.

Including the King of Yan, who was hesitant and wavering about whether to surrender.

Only Yan Dan, as the Crown Prince, was determined to rebel against the Qin, rebelling against the Qin at all costs.

Ying Zheng was furious because of this and sent Luo Wang assassins to secretly assassinate Yan Dan.

Later, it was the news of victory sent back by Luo Wang that Yan Dan was assassinated and died, and the Yan nation was destroyed.

But now Yan Dan has transformed into the Mohist leader, second only to the Confucian School in the Great Qin.

Clearly, the assassination by Luo Wang back then failed.

It is even very likely that Yan Dan deliberately pretended to be assassinated to hide in the dark.

If this is true, then Yan Dan's plot is too terrifying, and it is definitely not just to be the Mohist leader.

Imagine if Su Chen had not exposed his identity, who knows how long it would have taken for the Great Qin to know that such a fierce enemy was hidden in the dark.

Now the Confucian School has the feudal lord heaven's mandate sword, and its stance is not very clear.

But the Mohist School has Yan Dan as its leader, and it will undoubtedly be a deadly enemy of the Great Qin.

Precisely because of this, Prince Fusu must figure out Yan Dan's plot, otherwise he always feels a bit uneasy.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen was leisurely tasting the fragrant tea.

The discussion below had gradually ceased, and everyone's eyes were looking towards the high platform.

Even the Tai'e sword, which gathered Confucian destiny and carried the feudal lord heaven's mandate, could only be ranked second.

They were truly curious about what kind of famous sword the first place on the destiny famous sword ranking would be.

Su Chen did not deliberately keep everyone in suspense, unfolded his Qiuyue fan, and said aloud:

"Continue the commentary."

"First place on the destiny famous sword ranking, Tianwen."

"The name of this sword should be known to everyone in the Great Qin; it is precisely the sword of the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng."

"But in fact, the Tianwen sword has belonged to the Great Qin since ancient times, sealed in the Great Qin's forbidden area, Taihuang Mountain."

"The Great Qin Imperial Dynasty has a long history, spanning thousands of years, and has produced wise monarchs for generations; one reason is that the Tianwen sword gathers the Great Qin's national destiny, making the Great Qin's national destiny immortal."

"But the Tianwen sword is not only the Great Qin's national destiny sword, but also carries a powerful imperial heaven's mandate."

"Not an ordinary emperor's heaven's mandate, but the First Emperor's heaven's mandate, the heaven's mandate of the emperor of all ages."

"The Great Qin has had many wise monarchs, but none of them could carry this heaven's mandate, so the Tianwen sword has always been silent."

"Until Ying Zheng was born."
