He believed that within three years, the world would undergo unprecedented changes.
These changes may very well be just the beginning.
The world that Ye Qingmei once described may very well become a reality in the near future.
Even for these reasons, he was willing to dedicate the rest of his life to the Qin state.
In the palace, Zhao Gao bowed and entered the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus sent Eunuch Hou to convey a message that he wishes to see you."
As early as six months ago, Zhao Gao returned to Xianyang from Jianzhou.
He naturally replaced Eunuch Hou's position and took over the inner court established by Emperor Qing.
In fact, the smooth implementation of the Qin state's reforms was also closely related to the bumper harvest in Jianzhou.
A rice yield of 3,000 jin per mu was a completely epoch-making blow.
The massive shipments of grain throughout the land quelled countless potential disturbances.
No matter where the disaster occurs,
They were able to receive sufficient food support immediately.
The price of grain in the entire Qin state remained extremely stable within a suitable range.
At least, after the Qin state was established, the people of Qin were almost free from the worry of famine.
As the saying goes, "With food in hand, one has nothing to fear."
The combination of three elements—power sufficient to awe the world, food sufficient to satisfy the needs of the people, and officials capable of perfectly fulfilling government orders—was the fundamental reason why Qin's reforms could proceed rapidly and without hindrance.
Li Chengqian glanced at Zhao Gao, pondered for a moment, put down his official duties, and stood up.
"Alright, let's go take a look."
With his medical skills, he naturally knew that Emperor Qing, whose cultivation had been destroyed, was on the verge of death.
Perhaps today is the day of his death.
After leaving the main hall, we walked along the long corridor and soon arrived at the outside of a side hall.
Only Eunuch Hou was guarding the outside of the palace.
Upon seeing Li Chengqian arrive, he quickly bowed and paid his respects.
"See Your Majesty."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and Eunuch Hou stood up and opened the door to the side hall.
Only Emperor Qing was inside the hall.
Wearing a white single-layer shirt,
Her snow-white hair was disheveled and cascaded down her back.
Sitting quietly in her wheelchair, leaning against the window, she looked exceptionally thin.
Outside the window, in a pond of moderate size, colorful fish dart about, and lotus flowers bloom on the surface.
Their vibrant appearance formed a stark contrast with Emperor Qing.
Li Chengqian calmly walked to Emperor Qing's side and looked at the fish swimming in the pond with him without saying a word.
After a moment, Emperor Qing let out a soft sigh.
"Since I ascended the throne, standing on high, I have always regarded the people of this world as pawns. But only today do I realize that some things are far more important than power, and some things cannot be accomplished by scheming alone."
He glanced at Li Chengqian, but ultimately said nothing more.
At this point, it's all meaningless.
"I want to ask you for one thing: after I die, bury me in Taiping Villa."
Li Chengqian calmly looked at Emperor Qing, who seemed to be in a twilight state.
He discovered that people tend to reminisce when they are vulnerable and powerless.
He nodded gently, not refusing the dying man's last request.
A hint of relief appeared in Emperor Qing's eyes.
He slowly withdrew his gaze, looking out the window at everything, at the sky.
After an unknown amount of time, he just stood there, lifeless.
A generation of heroes has come to an end.
Li Chengqian didn't have many feelings about 893964, 460 he only remembered one thing.
Never be a loser.
The death of Emperor Qing did not cause any disturbance in the Qin state.
Especially at this critical juncture when the Northern Qi had already surrendered.
An upcoming wedding has attracted the attention of the entire world.
The Northern Qi Empress was to marry the Qin Emperor.
The entire Northern Qi dynasty was part of the dowry of the Northern Qi Empress.
What truly stirred the hearts and minds of countless people was that the world was about to usher in true unification.
After the image of Qin defeating Northern Qi's 3 million-strong army with 300,000 troops was projected and broadcast throughout the world, Qin gained an unparalleled advantage.
Even the Northern Barbarians, who had harassed the Northern Qi for countless years, and the Western Hu, whom the Qing Kingdom had fought against for years,
Nothing could stop the trend of unifying the world.
The wedding has not yet officially taken place.
The surrender letters from the Northern Barbarians and the Western Barbarians were already eagerly delivered to Xianyang.
Having witnessed the disastrous defeat of the Northern Qi's three million-strong army, no one wanted to become the next Northern Qi.
It can be said that, at the time of the wedding,
That will be the day when the world submits and Li Chengqian becomes the ruler of the world.
Li Chengqian was well aware that once the world was unified and he became the ruler of all under heaven,
It will definitely trigger the system and provide access to an even more inexhaustible supply of resources.
He was really looking forward to it.
Chapter 149 The Ruler of All Under Heaven! Next up is the Temple!
The crushing defeat of the three million-strong army broke the last backbone of the Northern Qi dynasty.
The two grandmasters, Ku He and Si Gu Jian, whom the Northern Qi and the Eastern Yi had relied on in the past, played no different roles from ordinary soldiers in that battle.
The Grandmasters were no longer an obstacle to Qin's advance.
No power in the world can now rival the Qin state.
There were no setbacks until the day Zhan Doudou and Li Chengqian got married.
Or rather, any potential setbacks have been completely eliminated by the combined forces of the Censorate, the Net, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
After Sean fully recovered from his injuries, he was able to break through to the Grandmaster realm with the help of Li Chengqian.
Chen Pingping was no exception.
Within the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), Yan Ri, Jing Ni, and Xuan Jian also broke through to the Grandmaster level.
These are five grandmasters in total.
Under such power, no one could really stir up any trouble.
As the marriage of the former ruler of Northern Qi and the current ruler of Qin, it was naturally a grand affair.
But the most important aspect of this wedding was accepting the allegiance of various states, including the Eastern Yi, Northern Man, and Western Hu.
Their allegiance and submission offer no guarantee of any other potential benefits other than their own lives.
This means that after the countries submitted,
All the political power, military, economy, and everything else that the government owned independently was completely wiped out.
Everything must be subject to the laws and arrangements of the Qin state.
As a Grandmaster, Si Gu Jian understood the grand strategy, and with Emperor Qing dead, he no longer harbored any hatred towards the former Qin state, Nan Qing.
Given the disastrous defeat of the Northern Qi, the Eastern Yi could not possibly remain unscathed.
They seem to take it all in stride.
However, the Great Chanyu of the Western Hu and the barbarian king of the Northern Barbarians were clearly unwilling to accept this.
However, having witnessed the power of the Qin state,
No matter how unwilling they are, if they want to live, their only option is to submit.
The sheer absurdity of projecting war across the world was enough to terrify them.
Not to mention the terrifying weapons of the Qin state, powerful enough to easily annihilate the three million-strong army of the Northern Qi.
The Qin state now has no room for them to bargain.
It's either destruction or submission.
This was the only option Qin had given them.
Faced with harsh reality, submission is their best option.
At Li Chengqian's deliberate request, the wedding process was accelerated, and it soon came to an end.
The moment when the remaining rulers of the various kingdoms, witnessed by countless people, pledged their allegiance to Li Chengqian and read out their state declarations.
The system's voice did not sound.
However, an immense and indescribable power was continuously converging on him from all directions.
It contains the power of countless faiths.
From then on, the terms Northern Qi, Eastern Yi, Western Hu, and Northern Man ceased to exist throughout the world.
