Chapter 52: You extend my life, and I will share the kingdom with you!
Swish!
As soon as Ying Zheng said this.

Like thunder on the ground.

above the hall.

The faces of the officials changed as rapidly as cloudy weather.

Shock, confusion, worry and other emotions are interwoven into a complex and delicate web!
The second king of the iron-blooded empire of Qin?
And it is named after the country?
This is not only a severe shake-up to traditional etiquette!
It is also an unprecedented challenge to the ancestral family rules!
Looking back.

From those famous empires to the unknown small countries, which country dared to establish a situation where two kings coexisted?
This is not only a subversion of the existing order!

It is also a serious provocation to the concept of common sovereignty of the world.

For a while.

There was a lot of discussion in the court.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

It seemed as if even the air had frozen.

Just waiting for the last straw to fall.

Prime Minister Li Si was the first to step forward, his voice steady but firm: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Guanjun has made outstanding contributions, and his talent as a regent is unparalleled in the world, but is your Majesty's move to reward him too shocking?"

"From ancient times to the present, no empire has ever been able to bear the dignity of two kings in the same era."

"I beg your Majesty to reconsider and withdraw this order, and find another appropriate way to honor the Marquis of Guanjun's merits."

Li Si's speech.

Just like throwing a stone into the water, it creates ripples.

Other important officials saw this.

They also responded one after another.

Coming like a tide.

Their voices combined into a force that could not be ignored, echoing in the hall.

"Your Majesty, our Great Qin follows a rule that has not changed for thousands of years. One dynasty, one king. This is the iron rule set by our ancestors. If you want to break the rule now, it may shake the foundation of the country and cause endless troubles!"

The voice of an old minister was weathered and powerful.

"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act!"

"The peace and order of the empire are based on the unity and concentration of power. If two kings coexist, once they disagree, it may cause unnecessary disputes and may even shake the foundation of the country and endanger the people of the world!"

Another important official spoke with great earnestness.

Within the court, voices of dissent arose one after another.

Lin Xuan's face was full of disbelief.

His eyes were fixed on Ying Zheng.

My heart was filled with waves.

He naturally expected that Zheng Ge would give him a generous reward.

After all, he is the champion marquis who is the bravest among the three armies.

He has stood at the highest pinnacle of honor, above everyone else and only below the king.

But what he didn't expect was.

Brother Zheng actually intended to push him onto the throne!
This is an amazing feat beyond imagination!
Deep down in his heart, Lin Xuan had no desire to become king.

He had no interest in the heavy power and the country.

In his opinion.

A crown is but a pair of ornate shackles.

What is bound is not only the freedom of the body, but also the freedom of the soul.

What he always longed for was the unfettered sky, rather than a life surrounded by high walls and deep palaces.

Think of this.

Lin Xuan spoke decisively.

Rejected this astonishing gift.

"Your Majesty, Jinnian is grateful for your kindness and trust,"

His voice was filled with unquestionable determination.

"But the position of King of Qin is too much for Jinnian to bear. I would like to continue to serve the Qin Dynasty instead of sitting on the throne."

This statement came out.

Under the court.

The stone in the ministers' hearts fell to the ground quietly.

They secretly rejoiced.

If the Champion Marquis really accepted the reward from the Second King.

They really don't know how to continue to persuade.

after all.

Once the emperor has made up his mind.

Often difficult to change!

But they knew very well that Ying Zheng always acted decisively and his words were trustworthy.

however.

Just as everyone was secretly rejoicing.

A meaningful smile appeared on Ying Zheng's lips, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Jinnian, I know very well that you are unrestrained and uninhibited,"

"It is already a difficult thing for me to ask you to take charge of state affairs temporarily. How could I not know that you don't want to be bound by worldly constraints?"

"This time I'm making you king, but I don't mean you have to stay in Daqin forever and be bound by red tape."

"You only need to be listed in name only as a symbol of the honor of the Great Qin. As for the important task of governing the country, I will still do it myself."

Faced with Ying Zheng's sincere and thoughtful arrangements.

Lin Xuan was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.

With such amazing wealth and status, how many people in the world could remain unmoved?
And he.

But he remained indifferent to it.

In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a luxurious waste.

Even unreasonable rejection.

People present.

Except maybe him.

Anyone got such a promise.

I'm afraid I'll laugh out loud even in my dreams.

This is the time.

The expressions of the ministers in the court became complicated and subtle.

Your Majesty's proposal is undoubtedly an irresistible olive branch.

A nominal throne.

Enjoy supreme glory and wealth.

And there is no need to take care of the tedious affairs of state. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing?

In their eyes, this was a windfall!

Why not enjoy dignity without any effort?
Lin Xuan's heart was also in turmoil.

Surprised by this sudden proposal for the throne.

It is more out of personal interest.

He never aspired to the pinnacle of power.

however.

Faced with such thoughtful and considerate arrangements from Zheng Ge.

Repeatedly refusing seems too inhumane.

If you don't accept this huge wealth.

I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning!

After some inner struggle.

Lin Xuan finally made a decision.

"If Your Majesty has thought this through, I will obey Your Majesty's will and accept this honor."

Although Lin Xuan's words were light, they were like a huge rock falling into the water, causing ripples in the court.

this sentence.

Like a heavy hammer.

It struck hard on the hearts of every minister.

Even though they had thousands of reluctances and tens of thousands of worries in their hearts, they could only suppress them silently and dare not show any of them.

After all, the emperor's will is clear.

If anyone dares to dissuade me at this moment.

This is undoubtedly a dead end; challenging authority can only end in tragedy!

then.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Despite the turmoil in my heart, I can only remain calm on the surface.

They knew that the best thing to do at this moment was to obey.

The entire hall.

So there was a strange silence.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Waiting for the dust to settle on this storm.

finally.

In a solemn silence.

Ying Zheng's deep and majestic voice broke the silence of the hall.

Like the sound of nature.

The historic decision was announced: "Lin Xuan is enthroned as the second king of the Qin Dynasty, and given the title of King of Qin. Together they will rule the country and protect the country!"

The words fell.

above the hall.

There was a sudden silence.

Until a moment later.

Li Si took the lead and stepped forward.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the King of Qin!"

Swish!
The others saw this.

They all followed suit.

"Your subjects are here to see the King of Qin!"

Ying Zheng saw this scene.

I couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Before the unification of the six kingdoms.

It is the battle for supremacy among the seven nations.

That is the battle of seven kings.

In the end, Ying Zheng won.

At the same time, the first great unified dynasty was established.

He chose to offer sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai.

King Ying Zheng of Qin later became Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin.
