Chapter 94 Wang Jian was shocked. His Majesty was still alive!

In the eastern suburbs, the Thirteenth Young Master’s manor is peaceful and luxurious.

After Ying Heng retired from court, he leaned lazily on the exquisite rocking chair. The purple-clothed maid gently performed massage skills on his head, while the green-clothed maid gently kneaded his legs, making him intoxicated in this endless comfort.

"Oh, it's ridiculous. I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is more unwilling to be the emperor than me."

"Qingyi, Ziyi, you also understand, right?"

Ying Heng smiled, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"My Lord, you are absolutely right. You have always hated tedious matters, and you have never taken the temptation of the throne to heart."

Qing Yi answered, her tone full of respect.

"Of course, what you fear most is fatigue. Isn't being an emperor harder than anyone else?"

"Of course you won't like it."

Zi Yi replied mischievously, if it weren't for that mysterious system that insisted that you ascend the throne and build a powerful Qin, you would definitely indulge in this gentle country forever.

Forget it. Since fate has arranged it this way, I will first become an emperor, make the Qin Dynasty prosperous, and then pursue the way to immortality.

"Report!"

At this time, a Jinyiwei came hurriedly and reported: "Sir, Dong Zhongcheng came to report that he met an ambitious old man today, who said he wanted to..."

"Qingyi, this is what happened."

"Such outstanding people are extremely rare in our Great Qin."

"Do you think it would be possible to ask him to work for you, young master?"

Ying Heng glanced at Dong Zhongshu lightly with a gentle tone.

"Zhongshu, you are my confidant. Unlike other officials in the court, my trust in you is unmatched."

"Since this person has won your favor, he must have something extraordinary."

"Don't be stingy. Giving him a county clerk position is too low!"

"Let him go directly to the court and serve as a deputy in a certain department. When the time is right, promote him to be your deputy."

Dong Zhongshu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said gratefully: "Zhongshu, thank you for your trust, sir!"

"Ah."

Ying Heng nodded slightly, and then remembered another important thing.

"Zhongshu, how is the harvest of the first batch of grain going outside?"

"This is the top priority right now, you have to supervise it yourself!"

Dong Zhongshu responded respectfully: "I will leave the city tomorrow and go to the fields to check the rice and potato harvests to make sure everything goes well!"

"So good."

……

Xianyang City, the residence of General Wang Jian.

Wang Ben knelt on the cold floor tiles, the clear palm prints on his cheeks and his swollen face revealing the severe punishment he had suffered.

General Wang Jian, who is nearly 70 years old, has a head full of white hair, but he is still very strong!

He is the military god of the Qin Dynasty. He swept across the six kingdoms, attacked Zhao, defeated Chu and pacified Yan. These were all his glorious military achievements!

It can be said that apart from Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, no one can match Wang Jian's contribution to the Qin Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng wanted to hand over the military power of the entire army to Wang Jian in order to commend his meritorious officials.

However, Wang Jian was well aware of the fact that great achievements would frighten the ruler. After the six kingdoms were pacified, he chose to retire at the right time and requested to return home to spend his twilight years in peace on the grounds of old age.

Ying Zheng was pleased to see that he was so open-minded, so he confidently handed over half of the military power to his son Wang Ben.

In fact, the Wang family has always adhered to the principle of loyalty to the Emperor of Qin and has not been greedy for power.

Since then, the Wang family has always adhered to this belief until...

On this day, Wang Ben returned home and knelt before his father Wang Jian. After Wang Ben left, Wang Jian was the only one left in the room, and his roar echoed in the air.

"Rebellious son! Unfilial son! I don't have a son like you!"

"How do you want me to face His Majesty?"

"After I, Wang Jian, die, how can I face your Majesty's spirit in heaven?!"

"This is nonsense, complete nonsense!"

At this moment, a creaking sound broke through the silence, and Wang Jian's door was suddenly pushed open.

"General Wang, you don't have to die. You can face me now. Hahahaha!"

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng walked into the house with a smile on his face.

Wang Jian’s curses froze in an instant, and he stared at the person who came in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

"His Majesty?"

He wiped his eyes vigorously with his hands, looking at the man who was very familiar to him who slowly walked in, his heart full of disbelief.

Ying Zheng stepped in, walked to the main seat in the living room, smiled and nodded: "Why, General Wang, don't you recognize me?"

Wang Jian was shocked: "How could I not recognize you? We have been king and subject for decades. I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

"But, Your Majesty, aren't you still alive?!"

A look of great surprise appeared on Wang Jian's face.

After saying this, he immediately straightened his clothes and knelt down to salute: "Old minister Wang Jian, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes. It's great that your majesty is still alive!

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng hurried forward and helped Wang Jian up.

"Hurry up, old general, hurry up. There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

"Come, General, please take a seat. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a good chat today."

Before the surprise on Wang Jian's face faded, Ying Zheng pulled him to the lower seat.

He stared at Ying Zheng, and after blinking several times, he discovered that the First Emperor's face seemed to have lost more than a decade of vicissitudes, and was glowing with a youthful glow.

He was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly look so young?"

"Besides, wasn't the news of your death spread all over before?"

"What on earth is the reason for this?"

Ying Zheng had not seen this veteran who had fought side by side with him for a long time, and his heart was filled with joy. He was not in a hurry to get to the point, and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Old Wang, do you still remember?
"Back then, you and I competed on the same field. Your strength was like a mountain, and I could never surpass you in martial arts."

"Now, look at me again, is there any difference?"

Although Wang Jian was already seventy years old, he never stopped practicing. His Qi and blood were still vigorous, and his strength had not obviously declined.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled calmly, with a confident light flashing in his eyes.

"Old General, do you still remember that in the first half of my life, I was busy conquering the six kingdoms, building the Qin Empire, and governing this vast world. I really had no time to practice martial arts."

"Now, time is not forgiving, and I have fallen into the trap of the traitor and accidentally eaten a poisonous pill. I feel that I don't have much time left."

"So, I decided to stay in seclusion for two months, both to regulate my body and to pursue the ultimate in martial arts."

"With just this casual practice, I was able to reach the Grandmaster level and regain more than ten years of youth."

"After all, how can I safely hand over the Qin Empire to others?"

His voice was low but powerful.

Wang Jian opened his eyes wide, his mouth wide enough to fit an egg in, and looked at Ying Zheng in shock.

"Your Majesty, you said that your mission in the first half of your life was to conquer the six kingdoms, unify the world, create a great Qin that would last for thousands of years, and establish an immortal cause."

"Now, when he realized that his health was not good and he was about to abdicate, he reached the Grandmaster level that those martial arts geniuses could not reach in their entire lives in just two months?"
