Zhao Gao bowed his body, got into the carriage, hurriedly put the music in his hand in front of the desk, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the battle report of General Ren Huan eleven days ago, and the Heishui Pavilion has just arrived. ”

The emperor nodded, casually picked up the battle report and glanced at it a few times, nodded slightly, picked up a wolf hair next to him, dipped it in some ink, and wrote a big word "read" at the end, and then said: "Take this piece to the prime minister, let him look at it, and quickly prepare the next month's military rations, there is a war ahead, and I can't afford to delay." ”

Zhao Gao cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang Cheng is sick and can't handle government affairs." ”

The emperor laughed dumbly for a while, waved his hand, and said, "The old guy is not sick, but angry with me." Take it to the captain first, anyway, these things have to be handled by him. "Mount Tai sealed Zen, the emperor did not obey the Confucian rites, and the matter of driving away Confucianism made Wang Juan very angry. He himself was originally a Confucian disciple and assisted the emperor for decades. Originally, I wanted to be able to implement Confucian benevolence in Daqin after the world was settled, and realize the great dream that the great Confucian sages could not realize for hundreds of years. But what he didn't expect was that after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the emperor first denied his proposal to divide the feudal state, and then vetoed his policy of governing the country with benevolence and courtesy. For this reason, Wang Juan resigned from the post of prime minister in anger. After the resurrection, for the emperor's Zen ceremony, Wang Juan was also well-intentioned, carefully studied the ancient sage king's form of Zen, and therefore formulated a lot of etiquette regulations, trying to guide the emperor to the idea of governing the country with Confucianism through this Zen ceremony, but he didn't expect that his plan could not be implemented at all, and the group of Confucian students under his command were basically driven down the mountain by the emperor. made Wang Juan so angry that he couldn't speak.

After going down the mountain, Wang Juan was angry and said that he was sick, and he was full of complaints about the emperor. Despite this, the emperor did not retreat half a step in this regard, after Mount Tai sacrificed to the sky, he went to Liangfu Mountain to worship the earth, and he did not let Confucianism take over, and insisted on going his own way, which completely made Wang Juan and many Confucian students disheartened. They understood that the emperor's will was like steel, and he insisted on governing the country's government affairs with the harsh laws of the Legalists, and would not be transferred to their wishes at all.

After dealing with a few more government affairs, the emperor suddenly said: "Is there any new music in Lingnan?" ”

Zhao Gao had followed the emperor for decades, and of course he understood what the emperor was referring to, so he hurriedly said: "Chen Junshou's recent concert was presented to His Majesty yesterday!" ”

The emperor frowned slightly, owed a debt, and said, "Doesn't that kid send a chapter every day?" Why hasn't it arrived today? Saying that, Emperor Meiyu was slightly impatient, and said to Zhao Gao: "You go to the Black Water Pavilion and look through it to see if there is any." Rubbing his hands, the emperor instructed the female officials beside him: "Go and get the booklet sent by Chen Sheng yesterday, yes, it is the fifty-second volume of "The Legend of King Wu". ”

Zhao Gao was slightly speechless, bowed his head and said "yes", then left the carriage and went to the emperor to find the fifty-third volume of the so-called "Legend of King Wu". But as soon as he left the carriage, he quickly found a hidden corner, poked out a thin roll of booklets from his arms, quickly flipped through it, and muttered while flipping through it: "Hurry up, Your Majesty has urged again!" Chen Sheng, why don't you write a few more volumes, so that this order can be chased hard! ”

This is not the first time this has happened. Not long after the emperor went on tour, the emperor received the book "The Legend of King Wu's War" from Chen Sheng, saying that it was for the emperor's pastime on his journey. However, the book is not complete, but only the first ten volumes. The novel of gods and demons set in the former martial king's war outlines a world of immortals, mortals and ghosts. The full text is almost vernacular, easy to understand, and funny. The emperor, who was already quite interested in asking for immortals, was fascinated by this book as soon as he saw it, so he asked Chen Sheng to continue writing to the emperor in his spare time. Therefore, every day or two, a new chapter written by Chen Sheng would appear on the emperor's desk.

This so-called "Legend of King Wu" is actually Chen Sheng copied the content of "Romance of the Gods", and then added his own creation, and finally such a "strange book" appeared. You know, in this era, the definition of a novel is not as understood by later generations, and no one has written a similar article. The article only has the huge work full of philosophical avenues of the hundred schools of thought, and if you want to see something easy to understand, there is basically nothing. There is no doubt that Chen Sheng opened up a new literary direction of this era, and his readers were even more powerful, His Majesty the Emperor of this country...... and Comrade Zhao Gao, a peerless traitor.

Every night, the emperor would ask Zhao Gao if he had any chapters to arrive, and Zhao Gao would fill his pockets, and after getting it, the first time he didn't think of showing it to the emperor, but secretly reading it himself. Because after falling into the hands of the emperor, it is unlikely that he wants to borrow it.

After reading the power of the gods and monsters in the book, the emperor sighed: "Is there really a god in this world?" "Summoned the monks to ask, and the monks swore that there were really gods in the world. It's just that the immortals described by these monks are so boundless and ethereal, how can they have flesh and blood with those immortals in Chen Sheng's pen, and they are as real as hearing and witnessing.

Thinking of the miracles created by Chen Sheng in Fujian and his outstanding military exploits in Lingnan, the emperor couldn't help but wonder in his heart that this Chen Sheng was the reincarnation of an immortal, so he had such great power. Only in this way can the world of gods and demons be portrayed in such detail. Thinking of this, the emperor inevitably felt a burst of excitement in his heart. If this Chen Sheng is the reincarnation of an immortal, why do you need these monks to find immortals and find Chen Sheng to teach him the method of immortality, isn't it okay? Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and after reading the sixtieth volume of "The Legend of King Wu", the emperor issued an edict: because Chen Sheng had a meritorious service in governing central Fujian and moving to Lingnan, he was specially transferred back to Xianyang, and it was used for other purposes.

In the summer of the twenty-eighth year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the youngest Zuo Geng and county guard of the Qin State was transferred back to Xianyang by a fluttering edict.

After receiving the emperor's edict, Chen Sheng was extremely pleased, thinking that his trick was really useful, taking advantage of the emperor's preference for seeking immortals and asking questions, he plagiarized the book "Romance of the Gods", which really attracted the emperor's attention, and transferred back to Xianyang without the teacher operating behind his back, so that the teacher had more room for maneuver and political capital. It's just that Chen Sheng is a little worried, if the emperor's eyes only stay on this superficial level and return to Xianyang, he Chen Sheng can only be reduced to a courtier to fool the emperor to live.

This kind of life is not what Chen Sheng wants. Thinking of his deployment in the past half a year, Chen Sheng had a confident smile on his face.
