Chapter 22: The New King of Qin

......

In the south, far away from Qindi, a babbling stream passed through a simple house.

There are dozens of golden carp in the stream, frolicking in the water, but never swimming out of the house with the current.

In the courtyard of the house, a very young-looking scholar was holding a book and reading it carefully, and every time he read the wonderful points, his expression was happy, and he clapped his hands from time to time.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked at the distant sky, with thousands of streamers in his deep eyes.

"Tsk, is he back?"

"No, no, no, he was hit by Xiao Ding's arrow, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

"Who could that be?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the darkness: "Master, the king has summoned you." ”

"Got it. ”

The reader answered, but did not move, still slowly turning the pages.

It wasn't until the last page was turned that the reader threw the book in his hand, only to see the book tumble in the air, turn into a golden carp and fall to the ground, flutter and fall into the stream, and in the blink of an eye it was playing with other carp.

And the scholar also quietly disappeared from the same place.

"Whoever it is, the end is already doomed anyway. ”

......

"Time is in a hurry, I didn't have time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony for the king, please forgive the king. ”

Li Xiaokuan looked at Qin Mu who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly had a wonderful feeling, as if he could take back the jade pendant that had brought him great changes before with just one thought. But Li Xiaokuan did not do so.

Could this be the power of King Qin's jade seal?

"Old gentleman, please get up, don't kneel. ”

Li Xiaokuan stepped forward to help Qin Mu up, but he always felt a little awkward for Qin Mu, who was at least forty or fifty years younger now and had returned to his youthful appearance, to call the old gentleman again.

Qin Mu didn't resist this time, and slowly got up after saying "Thank Wangshang", but he still hunched over and maintained a saluting posture.

"Sir, it was ...... just now"

Li Xiaokuan found that there were many treasures of different grades in the Qin State Treasury that flew out automatically, but Qin Mu looked surprised, obviously knowing something.

"Back to the king, what I flew everywhere just now is the state weapon that the previous kings gave to the ministers, generals and meritorious families in the court. Originally, these national weapons have been preserved in the major families and are inherited by their descendants. However, because of the accident seven years ago, no new king ascended the throne for a long time, and no one controlled the national fortunes, so those national weapons were returned to the national transport treasure house one after another. ”

"It wasn't until the king ascended the throne that those state weapons returned to their hands. ”

Li Xiaokuan was silent and thought for a long time before asking again: "Is there any difference between national weapons and ordinary treasures?" ”

"It's different. ”

Qin Mu explained.

"The national weapon is the painstaking work of my ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it is contaminated with the power of national fortune, and those who master the national weapon will be blessed by the national fortune. ”

The official weapon is a symbol of the official's status, including the power of the official position, the official needs to be replaced when the official is promoted or demoted, and the official weapon that he originally held is handed over to his successor. ”

"Gong Weapon is a reward for those who have made great contributions to the Qin State, and those who hold the Gong Weapon will be blessed by the national fortune, and the person who holds it will be succeeded by his bloodline descendants after his death, but he who is not loyal to the Qin State cannot be used. ”

"These are the effects that ordinary treasures do not have, and ordinary treasures can be put into the treasury of national fortune to be nourished, and after being dyed with the power of national fortune, they can also become national weapons. ”

"However, there are pros and cons to these national weapons. ”

Qin Mu's words changed.

"The official weapon is better, and it will not have much impact on the original owner after returning it. And after the meritorious weapons are rewarded to the meritorious people, the power to protect them has become the foundation of that clan. ”

"Babies born after being blessed in the entire bloodline family are born with the power of national fortune, and their future growth is based on the power of national fortune. If the national weapon is recovered, then what will be lost is not only protection, but also their most original strength......"

I see.

Li Xiaokuan understood that the streamer just now was a large number of treasures that had been rewarded before and returned to their original masters.

It is no wonder that the Qin State has been in a slump over the years, and almost everyone has been caught with their hands tied, and they have not even made an effective counterattack.

It turned out that the national weapons held by those Qin clans had been withdrawn, and there was not much strength to fight anymore.

If you hadn't run away seven years ago......

......

"However, now that the king has returned, then everything will be back on track, and the revival of my Great Qin is just around the corner!"

"Your Majesty, the former Qin officials who gathered in Wangbei City yesterday were about to leave, but they were stopped by the old minister, who had not yet told them about the king. ”

"But now, I think everything I can know is already known. ”

"They should all be waiting for the king now. “

Li Xiaokuan nodded slightly, he knew that these people had to be seen.

went out of the room with Qin Shan, and Su Yi outside the door saw Li Xiaokuan, put away the hippie smile on weekdays, and bowed respectfully, Li Xiaokuan was very unaccustomed to it, but just patted him lightly on the back.

Along the way, Su Yi was in front, and Li Xiaokuan and Qin Mu were behind.

Although Qin Mu was blind, his movements did not seem to be inconvenient.

Out of the tunnel, Li Xiaokuan returned to the restaurant he once had.

This time, though, he was heading towards the room in the center.

The door of that room is wide open, it is very spacious, and it is no longer like a guest room in an ordinary restaurant, but more like a battlefield command tent, and there is even a sand table of a large scale in it.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiaokuan saw a large number of people kneeling in front of him.

Qin Mu and Su Yi also walked among them and knelt down, and everyone spoke in unison.

"Greetings, Greetings to the King. ”

Li Xiaokuan had mixed feelings in his heart, sighed and slowly spoke.

"Guys, I always feel like this is a bit sudden, so I want to tell you something. ”

"First of all, I know that most of you don't know me, you don't know what kind of person I am, and some of you haven't even met me before, right?"

Everyone didn't speak, and Li Xiaokuan continued.

"Since you haven't seen me, there are only two things to kneel before me, one is the national weapon in your hands, telling you that I am your king, and two, that others tell you that I am your king, right?"

The crowd remained silent.

"So I want to have a showdown with you, first of all, yes, indeed, the fortune of the Qin State is right on me, but what I want to tell you is that my surname is Li, not Qin, and I am not from your Qin royal family, and even before that, I have nothing to do with your Qin royal family. ”

When everyone heard this, some people who didn't know the inside story looked at each other, completely unaware of what their new king was doing.

"But I was entrusted by the fortunes of your Qin State and became your king? Why? Some people must be surprised. ”

"There's no need to hide these things, so I just said directly, seven years ago, I was just a shadowless person, the shadowless person beside Your Highness Qin Feiyu. ”

As soon as these words came out, a burst of whispers suddenly erupted in front of them, and only a few people who already knew about it still bowed their heads and remained silent.

Su Yi raised her head in amazement and stared at Li Xiaokuan for a long time before lowering her head and sighing.

"Before His Royal Highness Fei Yu died, he transferred everything he had to me with secret techniques, so I can stand here and talk to you today. ”

"This Qin State only recognizes blood and does not recognize people, while you Qin Dynasty only recognize national fortune and does not recognize people. ”

"How ridiculous is that?"

"I thought that the king of the country, who is worthy of it, must have the talent to govern the country, but to become your king, as long as he has royal blood, no matter who he is, he can do it!"

"I don't know why your country has been around for so long under such a system. ”

At this time, a white-haired old man in a green robe stood up and argued: "I am the ancestor of the Great Qin Dynasty, all of whom are virtuous kings, and the Qin people for thousands of years, are obvious to all......

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was pulled down by the person next to him and gagged.

Li Xiaokuan didn't care and smiled lightly.

"Yes, maybe you have been the first kings of the past dynasties, if Qin Feiyu is alive, he will definitely be a good Qin king in the future, but ......"

"Do you think I am?"
