"Hahaha, good, good, good …" In the Great Qin Imperial Palace, Ying Zheng's laughter was hearty and joyful. He said the word 'good' three times in a row. His voice was so loud that even the guards outside the palace could hear him.
All the officials in the palace were quietly sizing up the figure standing in the middle of the palace.
Among the group of white-haired, cunning adults, Gan Luo's twelve-year-old figure seemed to stand out.
Xia Pingan stood calmly in the middle of the palace. There was no arrogance on his face. He was still humble and respectful. He crossed his arms, looking like an adult.
Convincing Zhang Tang, being the special envoy of the Great Qin Empire to the Zhao Empire at the age of twelve, Gan Luo's experience was legendary.
Everything was just like what was written in the history books.
Lu Buwei stood in front of the officials. He stroked his beard and looked at Gan Luo with a smile. Gan Luo had not only won sixteen cities for the Great Qin Empire, but also proved that he, Lu Buwei, had a good eye for talent. If a twelve year old follower of his could have such ability, who else in the Great Qin Empire could have such an ability?
Ying Zheng, who was also young, looked at Xia Pingan and nodded. His eyes were full of smiles as he said, "Everything is as Gan Qing said. This time, the State of Zhao attacked the Upper Valley of the State of Yan and seized more than 30 cities from the State of Yan. Then, according to the agreement between Gan Qing and them, the State of Zhao gave us another 11 cities. With these 11 cities and the five cities that Gan Qing brought with him when he went to the State of Zhao, this time, the Great Qin won 16 cities without spending a single soldier. Gan Qing is only 12 years old, and he has made such a great contribution. I wonder what reward he would like?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the fact that the State of Zhao has delivered sixteen cities to the Great Qin is not because of Gan Luo, but because the Great Qin has the wise and powerful King to lead the Great Qin. In the middle, we have Prime Minister Lu and all the civil and military officials working hard for the Great Qin. Below us, we have millions of ferocious and ferocious soldiers. Only because of this can I achieve twice the result with half the effort when I go to the State of Zhao and gain the trust of the King. Without the King, without Prime Minister Lu and all the ministers, without millions of soldiers at the border, no matter how eloquent and eloquent I am, I would not be able to seize half an inch of land from the State of Zhao. Therefore, Gan Luo does not dare to claim the credit!"
Seeing how modest Gan Luo was, not only Ying Zheng, but all the civil and military officials in the Imperial Court had changed the way they looked at Gan Luo. They seemed very satisfied, and even Lu Buwei kept nodding his head with a smile on his face.
Hmm, this kid is quite sensible. As expected of Gan Mao's grandson.
At this moment, this thought flashed through many people's minds. Some of them were already thinking that since their granddaughters and daughters were not married yet, when they returned, they would be able to make arrangements for this marriage.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he laughed heartily. He spread out his arms and said in a grand manner, "Minister Gan, there is no need to be so modest. This humble one has also read history. In the history books, since ancient times, apart from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties, there has never been a twelve-year-old who has done such a great service for the country and seized sixteen cities. Prime Minister Lu, tell me, according to the military merits of the Great Qin, Gan Luo has single-handedly seized sixteen cities for the Great Qin. What kind of reward should this be?"
Lu Buwei took two steps out from the group of civil and military officials. He looked at Gan Luo with a smile and said loudly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the military merits of the Great Qin, if one person seized sixteen cities, he can become a minister!"
"If that is the case, Gan Luo, listen to my command …"
"Gan Luo is …"
"From today onwards, this humble one will make you a minister of the Great Qin. When you go out, you will enjoy the Prime Minister's entourage. Also, your ancestor Gan Mao's family property will all be bestowed to you. In the future, when you go to court, you will be behind Prime Minister Lu!" Ying Zheng's words became an everlasting legend.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Pingan expressed his thanks.
The magnificent feat of a twelve-year-old youth becoming a minister was thus completed.
"For the Great Qin to have a twelve-year-old Prime Minister, this is an unprecedented auspicious sign. This is an auspicious sign. With Your Majesty's wisdom and might, the day when the Great Qin unifies the world is just around the corner!" Seeing that the Qin Emperor and Lu Buwei were so happy, some of the officials immediately jumped out to say auspicious words and flatter, causing a group of people to agree.
Auspicious sign? Fuck, you're the auspicious sign. Your whole family is auspicious signs …
Xia Pingan cursed in his heart.
As the eunuch next to Ying Zheng said, "Court is dismissed," the world within the Realm Pearl shattered.
…
In the resting room, the cocoon of light surrounding Xia Pingan disappeared, and Xia Pingan opened his eyes.
This Realm Pearl of Gan Luo's had increased the limit of divine energy in the caisson in the Xia Ping An Secret Mandala's divine palace by sixty-six points. Now, Xia Pingan's divine energy had reached 4331 points, and he was a little closer to the Five Suns Realm.
"What a pity …" Xia Pingan shook his head inwardly.
If the Realm Pearl could last a little longer, Xia Pingan would have liked to see what happened to Gan Luo after he became the Prime Minister. In the history books, Gan Luo disappeared after he became the Prime Minister, and there were no records left behind. There were only various legends. Some said that after Gan Luo became the Prime Minister, he realized that the Qin Dynasty's fate was not going to last long, so he directly retired. Some said that Gan Luo was killed by Ying Zheng after he became the Prime Minister. Some said that Gan Luo was poisoned to death by Lu Buwei, and some said that Gan Luo died of an illness.
In Xia Pingan's opinion, if Gan Luo was smart enough, he would have found an excuse to leave Xianyang and retire after becoming the Prime Minister.
Becoming the Prime Minister at the age of twelve was an extremely high position. The path of an official would end at the age of twelve. At this position, it was almost impossible for one not to be envied and feared by others.
The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind, let alone such a tall and small tree.
Given Gan Luo's intelligence and judgment, he should have been able to see that he would become the target of public criticism after he became the Prime Minister.
Unfortunately, the Realm Pearl shattered too early. This also shattered Xia Pingan's idea of 'searching for the truth of history'.
After resting for a while in the room, Xia Pingan picked up the last Realm Pearl, 'Dethroned Emperor of Song and Conferred Pig King'.
The reason why the people who fused with this Realm Pearl did not succeed was probably because they were all thinking about how to be a good Emperor. They were not as perverted and absurd as Liu Ziye, who could be called a weirdo among weirdos, directly raising his own uncle like a pig in a pen.
… …
"Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the Great Ancestor!"
When Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the solemn ancestral temple of the imperial family. Several eunuchs were trembling in fear as they stood next to him. This ancestral temple was tall and dignified, enshrined with memorial tablets. Behind these memorial tablets, a ten-zhang-long yellow silk draped down from the main hall like a waterfall, forming a curtain that concealed the portraits of the Southern Song Dynasty emperors behind the memorial tablets.
If Xia Pingan wanted to look at the portraits, there had to be two eunuchs at the side with long hooks in their hands to hook away the yellow silk. Only then could he look at the portraits of the Southern Song Dynasty's emperors that were enshrined here.
The portrait of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, had a dignified appearance. At a glance, one could tell that he was a great husband, an extraordinary man. However, Xia Pingan did not take it seriously. According to the historical records, Liu Yu was' seven feet six inches tall and had a peculiar bearing '. This' peculiar bearing 'was just an embellishment by literary scholars. To put it bluntly, it meant that he was ugly and different from the average person.
These portraits in the ancestral temple of the imperial family were all beautified. One could only look at them and not take them seriously.
"He was a hero who captured several emperors alive …" Xia Pingan pointed at Liu Yu's portrait and laughed.
The eunuchs next to him served Xia Pingan, allowing Xia Pingan to 'pay homage' to the ancestors here.
In the entire ancestral temple, there were only five portraits hanging. Xia Pingan saw two in the blink of an eye.
…
"Let me see the next one …"
The eunuch next to him pulled away the yellow silk behind the memorial tablet, revealing a portrait.
"This is the Great Ancestor!" An old eunuch next to him introduced carefully.
"Oh, the Great Ancestor. The Great Ancestor is quite capable. He is the one who gave birth to an unlucky son and was eventually beheaded by his own son …" Xia Pingan laughed. These words were not said by Xia Pingan, but by that bastard Liu Ziye.
Only the emperor dared to say these words. The old eunuch next to him changed his expression and did not dare to say a word.
"Who's next?"
"Next is the Great Ancestor, who is also Your Majesty's father …" The old eunuch's head was almost touching the ground.
Another portrait appeared in front of Xia Pingan.
The Great Ancestor of Song, Liu Jun, in the portrait was also tall and mighty. Xia Pingan looked at it and curled his lips. "Is this my father? It doesn't look like him. My father has a big red brandy nose. It's so ugly. This portrait doesn't have it. Quickly call the painter over and add the brandy nose for me …"
No one dared to disobey the emperor's order. As soon as Xia Pingan finished speaking, someone immediately went to find the court painter.
When the court painter heard that the emperor wanted to add a brandy nose to the portrait of his father that was enshrined in the ancestral temple, he was almost scared silly and did not dare to do it. Finally, under Xia Pingan's strict order, a group of eunuchs took down the portrait and let the painter add a red and ugly brandy nose to the portrait of the Great Ancestor of Song. After rewarding the painter, Xia Pingan left the ancestral temple in satisfaction. The portrait of the Great Ancestor of Song, Liu Jun, was hung in the main temple with a big and ugly brandy nose.
…
After leaving the ancestral temple and returning to the palace, a palace maid came to report that the Empress Dowager was ill and wanted to see the emperor.
"No, no, the patient has the most unlucky ghosts around her. The Yin energy is heavy. If I go to see her, won't I be contaminated with bad luck? Let the imperial physician go …"
Hearing the palace maid's reply, the Empress Dowager in the harem cried. "What sin have I committed? When I was pregnant with him, I should have drowned him …"
…
When he returned to the main hall again, Xia Pingan immediately gave an order. He issued an imperial edict and summoned Prince Xiangdong, Prince Jianan, and Prince Shanyang, Liu Xiuyou, to Jiankang.
…
When the three princes arrived at Jiankang and came to visit Xia Pingan, Xia Pingan had them arrested and put under house arrest.
Looking at the moody Liu Ziye, the three princes were so scared that their legs turned to jelly …
Sitting in the main hall and looking at the fat body of Prince Xiangdong, Xia Pingan was also thinking about a question. Should he be as perverted as Liu Ziye …
