"The Great King agreed?"
Zhao Feng said with mild surprise.
In truth,
Regarding Tian Jian's actions this ti, Zhao Feng also felt sowhat baffled.
Of course,
If placed in Tian Jian's current predicant, perhaps Zhao Feng too would see it as a last resort.
All is done for the sake of preserving his clan, preserving his own life.
By marrying off his two daughters to Zhao Feng, now the most powerful figure in the Great Qin Dynasty Court, he hoped that, for their sake, Zhao Feng would assist him if trouble arose in the future.
This is what Tian Jian thought.
"Lord Wu'an."
"The national book is here."
"How could I deceive you?"
Tian Jian promptly smiled, producing the national book stamped with the royal seal of the King of Qin.
Clearly,
He had prepared it in advance.
"Since the King of Qi shows such generosity, it would be improper for to refuse again."
"If this can ease the King of Qi's worries, I will accept."
Zhao Feng smiled faintly, and did not decline further.
To Zhao Feng,
He would have only one wife,
but concubines could be many; to pass down bloodlines, to extend the family, all these are necessary.
The world is vast.
Zhao Feng's path ahead is long; with offspring in the future, he can grasp the realm yet more firmly.
Looking at the two princesses of Qi before him, Zhao Feng laughed inwardly: "Why does this feel like stamp collecting? I have married a princess from each of the Six States, save for Qin's princess."
Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han.
Back when Chu was destroyed, King Zheng of Qin waved his hand and bestowed yet another Chu princess into the residence.
It could be said,
Zhao Feng's offspring carry royal blood from every other state.
"That is well."
"Excellent."
"To let my daughter marry Lord Wu'an—is a blessing for her!"
Seeing Zhao Feng agree, Tian Jian was truly delighted.
"The King of Qi acts thus, no doubt fearing that after Qi surrenders, the Great King may target him again."
"Rest assured about this."
"As long as you sever ties with Qi, and live quietly as a wealthy man, the Great King will never touch you." Zhao Feng said again.
"Were I still scheming, I would never have surrendered to Qin."
"In the end,"
"I only wish for a peaceful life hereafter." Tian Jian gave a bitter laugh, voicing his heart directly to Zhao Feng.
At this mont,
The King of Qi truly surrendered; apart from suffering an assassination attempt during entry into the city, the rest of the takeover proceeded without any mishaps.
Xianyang!
Inside the Morning Discussion Hall.
"Reporting to the Great King."
"Lord Wu'an sent word of return."
A ssenger rushed swiftly into the hall, holding Zhao Feng's own handwritten report.
"Read it aloud."
Ying Zheng suppressed his anticipation, commanding in a powerful voice.
The eyes of the entire court of ministers were gathered, fixed upon the ssenger within the hall.
At this mont,
Everyone was full of expectation.
For them,
For the realm,
The historic mont was destined to arrive.
The world united as one.
Since Zhou established the realm, it had been eight hundred years.
Now,
Only Qin and Qi remained upon the Land of the Divine Continent; if Qi surrendered, the world would belong to Qin.
A brand-new chapter of history would be written by "Qin."
Qin, would beco a brand-new dynasty.
A dynasty that founded the unity of the realm.
"I accept the edict."
The ssenger was deeply moved at that mont.
He then unfolded the urgent report written by Zhao Feng.
Under the gaze of the entire court,
"Your servant, Zhao Feng, reports."
"Today, I have led the army into Qi."
"The King of Qi has issued a national book, willing to surrender to Qin."
"Today."
"I have led my trusted aide into the Qi capital, Linzi, discussing the transfer of state affairs with the King of Qi."
"May Your Majesty swiftly dispatch capable officials into Qi, to take over Qi's cities, to take over Qi's army."
"Qi has now perished."
"From now on, throughout the Land of the Divine Continent, only Qin remains."
The ssenger's voice shook the hall, loudly proclaiming.
Upon hearing this,
None in the court were surprised, as all had foreseen this mont.
But to hear it personally, to witness this historic event firsthand—
The court was struck utterly silent.
Everyone was astonished.
The world unified.
Once,
It was sothing none could ever imagine.
Yet now,
Under the grand ambitions of their Great King, and their devoted support, Qin had unified the realm.
The world belongs to Qin; Qin belongs to the world!
"Excellent."
"The world is one, the world is Qin alone."
"Qin marches east, unifying the realm; the great wish of generations of Old Qin People and past Kings of Qin has been realized at last."
"From this day forth,"
"There will be no more war and chaos; only Qin will reign."
"Our Qin has accomplished a feat unparalleled through the ages."
"The rits of the Great King are without equal."
"Indeed."
"When Zhou set the realm, it was with the aid of the nobles; Zhou did not fully control the realm. But now, our Qin has swept away all rivals; everything is under Qin's hand."
"The Great King has surpassed the King Wu of Zhou and all forr rulers of the Divine Continent."
"The unification of Qin; its rit will last for millennia."
"The Great King's achievents will forever be rembered."
"Congratulations to the Great King, we all congratulate the Great King..."
After a brief silence, all ministers shouted in excitent.
Each was full of emotion, each fully imrsed in the joy of Qin's unification of the world.
At this mont,
Not only had their king achieved a feat unimagined in a thousand ages, pioneering the first ever unity of the realm,
they, as ministers, also shared this glory, glory enough to echo through history.
Even after thousands and tens of thousands of years, history would rember this day.
Rember the ministers of the era of King Zheng of Qin, rember the hundreds of thousands of Daqin Elite Soldiers of this ti.
For the unification of the realm, they all contributed.
At this mont!
As the entire court cried out in celebration,
Even Ying Zheng, his face revealed excitent, full of elation.
