Chapter 950 The Qin Empire

When Qin's biggest rival, Chu, fell, the remaining Yan and Qi had already become lambs to be slaughtered.

At this time, an envoy from the State of Yan wanted to present a map to King Ying Zheng of Qin, indicating that the State of Yan was ready to surrender and that the king had to send troops to receive it.

Ying Zheng, who had already seen part of the future direction, found out through understanding that the envoy's name was Jing Ke.

Therefore, a group of experts were ambushed early on. As long as they were assassinated, they could make a big fuss about it. The Qin army could immediately march north to destroy the State of Yan!

With great hatred in his heart, Jing Ke, now one of the leaders of the Mohist School, accepted the order from Yan Dan.

The hatred between Jing Ke and Ying Zheng was not simple. Ying Zheng took a fancy to his childhood sweetheart Gongsun Li Ji and took her directly back to the Qin Palace.

Every night, thinking about his junior sister and Ying Zheng lying in the same bed and performing the Zhougong ceremony, Jing Ke wanted to fly to Xianyang City immediately and chop off Ying Zheng's head.

Xiao Zhen has been hiding in the dark and observing. He doesn't want the partner he found with great difficulty to die.

According to some plots in the original novel, Xiao Zhen vaguely remembered that Jing Ke had infiltrated the Qin Palace and after meeting Gongsun Li Ji, he learned that his junior sister was pregnant with his child.

In the end, for some unknown reason, Jing Ke deliberately let the Qin King go when he was about to be assassinated, and was then killed by Gai Nie.

Of course, these are all plots in the anime.

The Jing Ke in history came here with the mission of avenging the country and family feuds, so there was no way he would let it go.

Xiao Zhen also lived in the Qin Palace during this period and often discussed state affairs with Ying Zheng.

It seemed that Jing Ke had never entered the palace, which meant that all he could think about was the fact that he was being cheated on.

Therefore, when assassinating, he probably won't show mercy.

Although Ying Zheng still chose to summon Jing Ke, there were many guards lying in ambush in secret.

Plus, with the Sword Saint Gai Nie by his side, he was not afraid of a mere assassin at all.

According to Mohist plan, when Jing Ke's contribution was put on the map, he was also the closest to Ying Zheng.

However, when he knew that the other party was here to assassinate him and was also an expert swordsman, how could Ying Zheng let him get close to him?

"The envoy of Yan State, please stop. You, go and present the map."

When Jing Ke heard Ying Zheng say that he would send a eunuch to get the map, he felt that he was in a difficult situation as a messenger and could not go forward.

Now that the two sides were about 30 steps apart, Jing Ke decided to give it a try and chose to take action directly.

The weapons hidden in the map were pulled out, and Jing Ke moved as fast as lightning, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

It was a pity that the distance was not enough, and the fast sword he had practiced for many years could not achieve the best effect, and his killing move was blocked by Gai Nie who was well prepared.

In just one or two seconds, a large group of guards jumped out from the darkness.

Jing Ke finally died under the siege, and Gai Nie became famous and was named the world's number one swordsman by Ying Zheng.

At the same time, Gai Nie also became one of the most hated targets of those who opposed Qin throughout the world.

Because of this assassination, the Qin soldiers launched an attack on the Yan State in anger and completely destroyed the Yan State in less than a year.

As for the last State of Qi, seeing that the other five had been destroyed one after another and the Qin army was already sharpening its swords, there was no need to resist any longer.

With the dignified surrender of the last country, the world finally ushered in its first great unification. Ying Zheng officially changed the Qin State into the Great Qin Empire, and his code name changed from King of Qin to the First Emperor.

The deal between Xiao Zhen and Ying Zheng officially came into effect from this moment. One party was responsible for collecting medicinal materials across the country and sending them to the imperial teacher, while the other party was handing over some future technologies and policies to the emperor.

After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, there were still many remnants of the six kingdoms.

For example, Xiao Zhen, who was posing as the imperial teacher, encountered several waves of assassinations within a month.

Back at the doctor's huts, there weren't as many people coming here as before.

However, I learned from the Moon Goddess that Yan Dan has never given up on winning over Nian Duan.

One day, deep in the Xianyang Prison, a prisoner finally gained a new life.

After Xiao Zhen became the imperial teacher, he discovered that Han Fei was still alive, so he warned Li Si.

Now that the world is unified, the administration needs to recruit more talents to serve the Qin Empire.

Although Han Fei and Ying Zheng had a grudge against each other for the destruction of their country, after the Qin State occupied the Han State, at least it did not massacre the royal family on a large scale.

The foolish and incompetent King Han An is still alive and well at this moment.

However, according to the trajectory of fate, a group of Korean nobles will rebel in the future, and they will do so in his name.

In the end, the unfortunate King Han An was directly ordered to be executed by Ying Zheng. This political veteran who liked to betray others became a victim of politics.

As time passed, Xiao Zhen felt that he might have to leave in a few years.

But walking in the chaos was very dangerous, and he didn't know how long it would take. Also, he was worried about women like Duanmu Rong with whom he had had relationships.

Now that there is no system to locate the world's coordinates, once he leaves this world, he may never come back.

Xiao Zhen also asked Duanmu Rong and several other women for their opinions. Except for Jingwei, who had a daughter and was slightly hesitant, everyone else wanted to see the wider world.

In order to be able to take these women with him when he leaves, Xiao Zhen also begins to create a space magic weapon that can accommodate living things.

As for materials, we need to think of some solutions.

Xiao Zhen forcibly condensed a force of space, and combined with various materials he could find, he barely created a bead with an interior area of ​​more than 20 square meters.

However, living things cannot be stored inside, so some further arrangements and layout are needed.

In order to create such a treasure, a lot of formations and runes are needed.

Xiao Zhen used to focus his energy on refining medicine. Although he had read some books on the subject, he had to spend a lot of time to make it himself now that he lacked space materials.

It has been 10 years since the Qin Empire unified the world, and everything has been going smoothly.

Although some of the ideas on governing the country proposed by Xiao Zhen may not be suitable for the current era, they gave Ying Zheng great inspiration.

The implementation of the imperial examination system gave people all over the world the opportunity to become officials.

Even though he encountered opposition from some nobles, Ying Zheng would not give them face and directly used his power as an emperor to suppress it.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that after the imperial examination system was introduced, it not only reduced the resistance of the original literati in the six countries, but also increased the efforts to win over the lower-level literati.

It would be difficult for a ruler without real power to implement this system.

The most important were papermaking and printing, which eliminated the cumbersome bamboo slips, greatly accelerated the progress of learning characters, and led to a substantial expansion of the culture of the Qin Empire.

Faced with the growing power of the Qin Empire, the remnants of the six kingdoms felt helpless.

Under the strong enticement of Han Fei, the former ninth prince of Korea, many Korean nobles gave up resistance and chose to obey the trend.

In the Mohist base camp, Yan Dan, who felt that the rebellion against Qin was hopeless, drank every day to relieve his sorrow. He even accidentally revealed that he had secretly assassinated the six-fingered black hero, a giant of the previous generation, while gathering with other leaders.

Although a leader stood up in time and said that the boss was drunk and talking nonsense.

No one was stupid enough to blame Yan Dan, but secretly the Mohist school had already begun to become divided.

As rebels, they were hunted down by the empire every day, and there was no hope of overthrowing the Qin Dynasty. This had long caused the Mohist disciples to accumulate resentment in their hearts.

Now knowing some of the dirty deeds of the current leader, many disciples are dissatisfied, and the outer patrol personnel disappear without a trace from time to time.
