Chapter 155: Dongting Lake Navy, Ying Xuan’s move, Canaan Buddhist Kingdom, Zhao Gao’s apprenticeship!
After Ying Xuan bestowed the title on Qu Yuan, the immortal poet immediately set about governing Dongting Lake and issued an edict to all aquatic creatures in the world in the name of Dongting God.

The Dongting Lake, which had been cleared by the order of the First Emperor, gradually began to attract aquatic creatures and gathered under Qu Yuan’s command.

In just one month, Qu Yuan had gathered a considerable navy, which made all the officials accompanying him look at him sideways.

At this moment, even the arrogant officials of the Qin Dynasty had to admit that Qu Yuan was indeed very capable.

As the first god to be conferred by Qin II, Ying Xuan, Qu Yuan lived up to expectations and won the recognition of a number of Qin officials.

“It seems that Qu Yuan has done a good job. After a few more days, we will leave Dongting Lake and continue to explore the east.”

Inside the emperor’s chariot, which contained the universe, and in the magnificent palace, Ying Xuan was lying lazily on the couch with his clothes unbuttoned. The palace maids, dressed in cool clothes, with charming and delicate looks and slender hands, were serving him closely.

Zhao Cheng, who was standing by the emperor’s couch, looked calm and said calmly, “Your Majesty has always had a very good eye, but there are many officials who are short-sighted, dull and confused.”

Zhao Cheng, like his brother Zhao Gao, was a eunuch and had been accompanying Ying Xuan since he was young. As his companion to Ying Xuan, he was also a eunuch.

The only difference is that although Zhao Gao was a eunuch, he practiced the Buddhist school of Zen, which combined yin and yang in one body, making him quite sinister.

What Zhao Cheng practiced was a martial art that was obtained when the Qin Dynasty swept across the nine provinces and plundered the treasure houses of various countries. It was called “The True Words Jade Leak” and it was a martial art created by Rong Cheng, a human sage under the command of the Human Emperor in ancient times.

To a certain extent, this technique involves the power of laws that only Taiyi Golden Immortal can access.

Therefore, although Zhao Cheng has only reached the Xuanxian realm, his strength is far superior to all the Xuanxian realm masters.

At the beginning, when the Xianyang City was in turmoil, the novelist’s disciple wanted to sneak into the Xianyang Palace and threaten Ying Xuan, but he was scared away by Zhao Cheng and then crushed by the spirit dragon, and his Dharma body was shattered.

“You are good at talking. You have saved my face and taken care of those guys…but I don’t know whether they will appreciate it or not.” Ying Xuan shook his head and waved his hand to dismiss the palace maids who were serving around him.

Afterwards, he stood up, casually put on his clothes, walked towards the palace door, and looked out into the distance at the outside world.

This is the palace inside the Emperor’s chariot, which is filled with magical power like Mount Sumeru containing a mustard seed. Being in this palace, it feels like being in another world, but you can also get a glimpse of everything happening outside, which is quite magical.

“These days, there must be a lot of people reporting to me about the matter of enfeoffment for Qu Yuan, right?” Ying Xuan asked calmly.

He bestowed the title on Qu Yuan based on the power of the system, not on the power of heaven and earth or destiny, but no one else knew about this except Qu Yuan and him.

Even Zhao Cheng… was only half-believing and half-doubting, but based on Ying Xuan’s prestige as the Emperor of Qin, he did not raise any objections.

But other officials were not like Zhao Cheng, who had no opinion of Ying Xuan.

After all, whether it was the conferment from heaven and earth or from destiny, it meant that Ying Xuan had already handed over the 800-li Dongting Lake to Qu Yuan.

This is equivalent to a piece of cake that was originally given to a group of Qin officials, but Ying Xuan suddenly gave one of the pieces to someone other than them.

This will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the officials of the Qin Dynasty.

“Your Majesty, most of these memorials were rejected by Prime Minister Feng, who also gave severe reprimands,” Zhao Cheng said slowly.

Although Ying Xuan had left Xianyang City, the imperial carriage he was on tour still received memorials from Xianyang City every day.

Therefore, after Ying Xuan conferred the title on Qu Yuan, all the dissatisfied memorials were sent to the imperial carriage for Ying Xuan to review. “Haha, Feng Quji also disagrees. He just feels that I have already done what I have done. If I allow these officials to talk too much, it will inevitably make me angry. I may even put them in jail.” Ying Xuan chuckled.

He could see what Feng Quji was thinking, which was that it was not right to confer a title on Qu Yuan so rashly.

But in fact, only he knew that this enthronement was very successful.

Now, after the death of the First Emperor and his ascension to the throne as Qin II, the Great Qin Dynasty gradually began to restore its stable rule.

But even in this world where immortals and gods coexist, Ying Xuan cannot guarantee that his hands can cover the entire Kyushu.

Therefore, this requires a god like Qu Yuan to protect him, govern the area, and allow the people to live and work in peace.

“Your Majesty is wise!” Zhao Cheng bowed and said.

“It’s just that after seeing it more, I naturally know it.”

Ying Xuan shook his head. He had been observing government affairs beside the First Emperor since he was young. When it came to matters like this, even the eldest prince Fusu could not compare with him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: “Has Meng Yi changed recently?”

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head: “Your Majesty, the Minister of State has followed the rules and regulations and has not overstepped the boundaries.”

Ying Xuan nodded. After all, Meng Yi was Meng Tian’s younger brother and the legitimate son of General Meng Wu. Without a suitable reason, even he would not be able to arrest him for questioning.

But Ying Xuan must also know what happened when the First Emperor went on tour, which caused the sky of the Qin Dynasty to collapse in one day.

The so-called sudden death…Ying Xuan didn’t believe even a single punctuation mark.

Meng Yi, the eunuch who had accompanied the First Emperor on his tours, definitely knew something, but for some reason he kept his mouth shut.

“Where is Zhao Gao now?” Ying Xuan asked after thinking for a while.

Zhao Cheng paused for a moment and said slowly, “Your Majesty, the pursuit guards in the imperial army reported back that the traitors Zhao Gao and Hu Hai have fled to Xiniu Hezhou, which is the territory of the Buddhist sect. They dare not cross the line rashly, so they withdrew.”

“If I’m not mistaken, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai should have arrived at the Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan by now.”

He and Zhao Gao were brothers, so he knew a lot about Zhao Gao’s teachers.

Dingguang Happy Buddha, one of the three thousand Buddhas of Western Buddhism, is a true Buddha on earth in the Daluo Golden Fairyland. He established a Buddhist country in Xiniu Hezhou, named Canaan. He has always coveted the land of Kyushu and wanted to spread the Dharma to Kyushu and attract more believers.

In the past, when Zhao Gao was young, his parents sent him to a temple in Xiniu Hezhou to practice Buddhism.

That was exactly the temple of Dingguang Happy Buddha. From then on, he practiced the Happy Zen technique. Later, he cut himself with a knife and entered the palace. He combined yin and yang in one body, and his cultivation was unfathomable.

It is rumored that if Zhao Gao had not cut himself in the foot, he would have already become a great cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm.

“The Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan… I remember the name of this Buddhist country was on the previous tribute list?” Ying Xuan pondered for a moment and frowned.
