The officials of Western Qin who received the order reacted quickly, and the next morning, people had already entered Chang'an City one after another, and came to the gate of the Shuhou Mansion to ask to see Lin Ze.

Lin Ze didn't have the heart to meet them, so he sent someone to settle these people in the mansion near the Shuhou Mansion and waited for orders.

Anyway, there are many vacant mansions in Chang'an, and it is not a problem to arrange tens of thousands of people.

For the next two days, Lin Ze didn't see Hui Shi's figure, and he didn't know where he was hiding.

The occasional sudden aura reminded Lin Ze that Hui Shi had not left Chang'an, but was secretly protecting him.

In the evening of the next day, Qianyuan, who was covered in dust, avoided his ears and eyes, secretly came to Lin Ze's study, bowed down and said, "Lord Qi, the altar has been built." ”

Lin Ze's expression moved, and he praised: "You have done a good job in this matter, and you will be rewarded when you are done alone." ”

Qianyuan, who was praised by Lin Ze, was tired and suddenly went to seventy percent, and Meizizi said goodbye and left.

Lin Ze walked out of the study, looked at the starry sky, and looked thoughtful, this time would be the biggest crisis he had encountered since he came to this world.

......

Early in the morning, Lin Ze, under the service of the maid, changed into a black dragon robe.

After checking a few items he was carrying, Lin Ze pushed open the door and strode out, outside were a group of Western Qin Wenwu waiting for his orders.

Looking at the Western Qin officials who were standing solemnly and solemnly, Lin Ze asked indifferently, "Are they all here?"

The commander of the Jinyi Wei Guanzhong bowed down and responded: "Return to the lord of the country, there are more than five grades in Guanzhong, and none of them will fall, all of them are here." ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly: "Very good, it's still early today, Gu hasn't eaten yet, it's rare to get together with Zhongqing once, come here, and prepare a banquet." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and they took great pains to gather people over, just to drink and feast? Are you going to learn from King Zhou You?

Someone couldn't hold it back, and took a step forward and said: "Enlighten the lord of the country, the minister steals that the state affairs are important, and the banquet is secondary, if the lord of the country has not eaten, the ministers can wait for a while, the banquet is a waste of time, and delays the business, and I hope that the lord of the country will think twice." ”

This is bluntly opposed.

Someone followed and said: "The lord of the country, the minister knows that the main body of the country is sympathetic to the ministers, but as Lord Zhou said, state affairs come first, and after the discussion, the lord of the country will feast the ministers, okay?"

This is a tactful persuasion.

Then all the ministers, you and I said a word, all of them were against Lin Ze holding a morning banquet.

Lin Ze's lukewarm voice echoed throughout the Shuhou Mansion: "Are you trying to disobey?"

All the brocade guards silently stepped forward, stretched out their hands on the hilt of their swords, and as soon as Lin Ze gave an order, they pounced on the posture of taking down all the disobedient people.

The restlessness of the ministers calmed down a lot in an instant, and some timid people directly shut up and kept silent, and some loyal people trembled.

Although the Western Qin is now coercive in all directions, there are still the three kingdoms of Chu, Han, and South Vietnam eyeing each other, and the lord of the country is so unreasonable, can the Western Qin Yan have a future at all?

Restlessness is restlessness, but there is no halfway to risk death to admonish.

Calculate carefully, these people have gone through the four generations of Emperor Qin, Hu Hai, Li Si and Western Qin, how can there be pure and loyal ministers who are not afraid of death?

A handful of people who are really loyal to Lin Ze will not openly contradict Lin Ze, at most they will hand over a recital in private and admonish it.

Others may observe the direction of the wind, or flatter them, or persuade them with justice, but it is impossible to put their lives on the line anyway.

Under Lin Ze's strength, the ministers were dormant, and tables were lifted up and placed in front of the ministers.

Then the barbecue, tonic soup, fresh melons and fruits, and fine wine are all served, and the aroma is overflowing, which makes people appetize.

The ministers who saw this scene finally made sure that Lin Ze was really moved, and most of them smiled, as if they were very happy about the banquet.

Lin Ze's indifferent gaze swept over the faces of the ministers, and said indifferently: "Wait a minute, there is something important, remove the wine." ”

Seeing that a jar of fine wine was taken down, the officials who were active had already realized that something was wrong, and secretly thought about the deep meaning of Lin Ze's move.

How could the lord of the country, who started almost from scratch, gnawed at the Qin State little by little, and established himself as the lord of Western Qin, be as mediocre as King Zhou You?

But Lin Ze was abnormally without warning, so that the ministers couldn't guess it at all.

The banquet lasted for an hour and a half, and Lin Ze, who had been motionless like a mountain, suddenly got up and said loudly: "I'm almost full, come here, take down the things, and I'm going to deal with business." ”

The ministers, who were sitting on pins and needles, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and this uncomfortable drinking banquet was finally over.

Although the leftovers were cold and the tables and chairs were removed, the smell in the air could not be dissipated for a long time, Lin Ze looked at the ministers who covered their noses from time to time, and said very intimately: "It is not suitable for discussion here, so change places with loneliness." ”

After speaking, he took the first step towards the outside of the Shuhou Mansion.

The ministers were stunned for a moment, looked at the Jinyi guards who were on guard around them, and quickly followed.

Lin Ze led the ministers through several streets to an altar, and when they saw the scene behind the altar, the ministers changed color.

Xianyang Palace in the past, and the tomb of Emperor Qin today.

Some officials with persecution paranoia trembled slightly, could it be that the lord of the country thought that some people still had Qin in their hearts and wanted to kill them?

Lin Ze stopped in front of the altar, looked up at the position where the sun was, and before the hour came, he turned to look at the ministers, and said indifferently: "Do you know that the secretaries of the Qing Dynasty want you to leave your government affairs behind and rush to Chang'an?"

The official surnamed Zhou, who was the first to advise, took a step forward, bowed and said, "Please also ask the lord of the country to make it clear." ”

Lin Ze chuckled: "Lone got a secret report, the three kingdoms of Chu, Han and South Vietnam are plotting to join forces to deal with Western Qin, Lone thinks that he can't sit still and has to deploy in advance, so he summoned all the secretaries to discuss countermeasures." ”

The official surnamed Zhou said loudly: "Lord Qiyu, in the eyes of Yu Chen, the Three Kingdoms are nothing more than a chicken and a dog, and they can be destroyed if it were not for the early establishment of the Western Qin Dynasty and the unstable foundation, the world would have been Western Qin a long time ago." ”

"Now that the Three Kingdoms are plotting against Western Qin, it is a good thing for Western Qin, so that Western Qin can justifiably send troops to destroy the country, dominate the world, and immortalize it for thousands of generations. ”

Lin Ze smiled slightly: "Zhou Qing's words are very lonely, do you have any other good plans?"

The move of the official surnamed Zhou undoubtedly gave the ministers a good start, and for a while, many people jumped out, and the flattery came one after another, Rao is Lin Ze, as a celestial, inevitably got goosebumps.

Wenchen sang praises of virtue, and the generals were not ambiguous, and they asked for war one after another, one said that he would cut off the head of the king of Han to celebrate Lin Ze's birthday, and the other said that he wanted to open up thousands of miles, east to sunrise, west to sunset, all of which were the land of Western Qin.

Lin Ze had a smile on his face, as if he thought this kind of scene was extremely interesting.

Seeing this, even if their mouths were dry, they didn't dare to stop.

After a long time, Xiao Jin's voice sounded in Lin Ze's mind: "The time has come." ”

The smile on Lin Ze's face swept away, his expression was extremely serious, and he said indifferently: "Lonely desire to sacrifice to the sky and claim to be the emperor of men, can anyone oppose it?"

Isn't this the title of the ancient emperor?

A trace of doubt appeared on the faces of the ministers, but after the two events of drinking and feasting and singing praises of virtue, no one dared to raise objections.

Everyone knows that the lord of the country is a little abnormal today, this will bump into it, isn't it digging his own grave?

Lin Ze chuckled: "Lone is ready to sacrifice to the sky, if anyone opposes it, you can propose it now, if you don't know what to do, don't blame Lone for destroying his nine clans." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Ze walked up to the altar step by step, and when the ceremony was being held, Hui Shi suddenly appeared and asked loudly, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Ze smiled mysteriously: "Isn't Senior Brother able to read minds? Why don't you guess?"

Hui Shi's face turned dark, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhuang Zhou asked me to bring my junior brother back to the Dao Palace safely, my junior brother actually tried to take the position of the ancient emperor, if it fails, the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

Lin Ze said with a calm face: "Third Senior Brother, you also said it, Second Senior Brother just asked you to take me back to the Dao Palace, and I also promised you to go back, Third Senior Brother doesn't seem to have a legitimate reason to stop me." ”

Hui Shi's expression changed slightly, and he just wanted to speak, but he saw that the sky had changed greatly, and the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, like the end of the world.

Seeing this, Hui Shi lost his voice and said, "You started?"

Lin Ze smiled indifferently and said: "Senior brother guessed right, senior brother just hooked up with the Heavenly Dao and silently recited the sacrificial text in his heart, unless senior brother wants to kill me, he will never stop it." ”

"Even if the junior brother acts recklessly, but the crime will not lead to death, the senior brother should not forcibly interrupt the junior brother's sacrifice to heaven and put the junior brother to death, right?"

Hui Shi looked at Lin Ze deeply, and his expression returned to calm: "You are right, if I kill you because of this incident, I will not be able to explain it to the teacher at all." ”

"I didn't expect you to take a risk, and even deceived Zhuang Zhou, if something happens to you, Zhuang Zhou and I will be punished by the teacher. ”

Lin Ze paused for a moment, and said a little helplessly: "Senior brother didn't think about trapping the two senior brothers, junior brother just had no choice. ”

Hui Shi shook his head: "It's right that you have no intention of harming me and Zhuang Zhou, but if you have no choice but to say that you can't trust the Dao Palace, you can't trust the teacher." ”

"That's all for the time being, you can worship the sky with peace of mind, you should know that after this incident, no matter what the result is, you will always give me, Zhuang Zhou, and the teacher an explanation. ”

Lin Ze bowed slightly: "I'm tired of Senior Brother Protecting the Fa." ”

Hui Shi looked indifferent: "Senior brother, don't worry, for the sake of the teacher and Zhuang Zhou, I won't let others disturb you." ”

After saying this, Hui Shi stepped aside, like a door god, without saying a word.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief slightly, no matter what, the first level had passed for the time being.

Under Lin Ze's operation, some of the power of the Heavenly Dao manifested around the altar, as if it was examining whether Lin Ze was qualified to serve as the Human Emperor.

Lin Ze's gaze fell on the ministers, and he said in a cold tone: "Won't the ministers meet the emperor?"

The official surnamed Zhou was the first to fall to the ground and said in a loud voice: "The minister greets the emperor." ”

At the same time, in the main hall of Handan City, under Chen Ping's arrangement, hundreds of Western Qin officials knelt in the direction of Chang'an, knelt down and bowed: "The ministers and others pay tribute to the emperor." ”

In Shudi, Wu Fan stood with a sword, and many officials bowed in the direction of Chang'an: "The ministers and others meet the emperor." ”

The three voices converged in the dark, as if they had touched the Heavenly Dao, and a phantom of the crown appeared behind Lin Ze, but it was unable to gather for a long time.

In other words, it's not enough.

Lin Ze seemed to have expected this situation, and he didn't hurry to take out a jade box from his arms and take out a thing.

If anyone is familiar with this thing, they may shout: "Inherit the jade seal of the country." ”

This heirloom jade seal was created by the Qin Emperor collecting a large number of rare things, and the most important thing is that it contains the breath of the Mandate of Heaven.

The jade seal was given by Emperor Qin, and even the way to worship the heavens was taught by Emperor Qin.

Lin Ze only did one thing, spent a lot of luck, used the Knowing Heavenly Mandate, and deduced the truth from the false.

Obviously, it's all true.

Lin Ze held high the jade seal of the country, and a paragraph of words spit out, and the crown turned from virtual to real, and fell steadily on his head.
