Zhangtai Palace.
It was under lockdown at the moment.
Soldiers surrounded the palace, three layers deep.
Ying Zheng sat on the dais.
On his left, Zhao Chen and his mother sat, with the White Wolf quietly lying beside the woman.
“Four masters, I know why you have come. My child is there. You can take a good look. I am also curious to see what this child's face looks like,” Ying Zheng said.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Guiguzi replied.
With Ying Zheng's permission, the four masters turned their attention to Zhao Chen.
When they saw the golden pillar of fortune that reached the heavens, they knew this was the birth of a Sage.
Now, they saw Zhao Chen's fortune up close, and it was terrifying.
【Hiss! Such fortune surpasses everything in the world. Even the Qin King is not a match for him. Truly terrifying!】
【This is even more powerful than Kong Sheng’s fortune!】
【When Zu Shi Lao Zi went east to Hangu Pass, the fortune pillar looked like a pillar reaching the sky, but compared to this child, there is still a gap. This child’s fortune is like the legendary Mount Bu Zhou, boundless.】
【Terrible. Absolutely terrible.】
The four men's faces were grave, their minds filled with shock.
No wonder the fate of the Qin dynasty, which was destined to fall after two generations, completely changed the moment he was born.
No wonder the divine beast, White Wolf, appeared to guard him.
It all made sense.
Zhao Chen felt overwhelmed being observed by these four great masters.
These four were the pinnacle of martial might in the Qin era.
He was afraid they would see through his identity as a time traveler.
Then again, with his Willpower mother behind him, what was there to fear?
So, he opened his eyes and looked at them.
Come on, whoever blinks first loses.
But, the four had already finished observing his face and left.
“How is my child?” Ying Zheng asked.
“Your Majesty, the young lord's fortune is heaven-defying. If he is not properly taught… Moreover, with such heaven-defying fortune, there is a tangle of karma. Without someone with great fortune, it is hard to approach him. Our Confucian school has the fortune of Kong Sheng, so we can definitely teach the young lord properly!”
Xunzi spoke first. His goal was to bring Zhao Chen into the Confucian school. In that case, their school would surely become the leader of all schools.
Ying Zheng didn't answer. To be honest, he didn't like the Confucian school.
“Old Xunzi, who doesn't have a sage in their family?
My Daoist school should teach the young lord.”
“Having a Sage is not everything. We in the School of Intrigue may not have a Sage, but we have the blessings of national fortune. And don't forget, the young lord is the prince of Qin, he should join our School of Intrigue!”
“Guiguzi, your School of Intrigue only takes two disciples in each generation. Aren't they already out on their own? Why do you want to take in another student? Do you want your two disciples to fight each other to the death?”
“Gai Nie is currently in Qin. How can you say it's fighting each other to the death?
Besides, they haven't truly learned the essence of the School of Intrigue. They mostly inherited our School of Intrigue's Intrigue Sword Art. I will teach the young lord the art of intrigue.”
Gai Nie: Master, is it really okay for you to say this?
What Guiguzi said was true. Although Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang became his disciples, they didn't learn the true art of intrigue. On the other hand, their martial arts were quite good, which was a bit backwards.
“What's the use of learning your art of intrigue? The young lord is a Sage who descended to earth, he should learn the words of a Sage, that is best.”
…
Xunzi, Beimingzi, and Guiguzi fiercely debated to secure the right to teach Zhao Chen.
No one would back down.
Only Dong Huang Taiyi stood quietly to the side, not joining in.
It was as if he had given up.
To be honest, the Yin Yang school really couldn't compare to the other three schools.
The Yin Yang school stemmed from the Daoist school, so it was naturally weaker.
The Daoist school used Lao Zi’s teachings during the late Spring and Autumn period as its theoretical foundation. Lao Zi used the “Dao” to explain the essence, composition, and changes of the universe.
Their main philosophy is that the way of heaven is inaction, everything follows the natural order.
They advocate the way of nature and encourage tranquility and inaction, to overcome the strong with the weak.
The ideal policy for governing is to rule without governing.
After Lao Zi, the Daoist school gradually split into different factions, such as the Zhuang Zi school and the Huang Lao school, etc.
The Yin Yang school came much later than the Daoist school. It only started to appear in the late Warring States period.
Their philosophy has two aspects: Yin Yang and Five Elements.
Because they advocate the principles of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and use them to explain social affairs, people often called the Yin Yang school the Yin Yang Five Elements school.
The Yin Yang school believes that Yin Yang is the force within things, the positive and negative sides that make up things. It can explain the changes in the development of things.
The Five Elements are the basis of all things. All things are composed of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They are interrelated and interact with each other, which can explain the origin and changes of the universe.
The Confucian school is even more needless to say. It’s basically on par with the Daoist school.
The School of Intrigue, although small in number, every person who appears can affect the national fortune, which is why Guiguzi said they have the blessings of national fortune.
In comparison, the Yin Yang school is slightly inferior.
Therefore, Dong Huang Taiyi just quietly watched the three of them compete without saying a word.
Ying Zheng, who sat on the dais, watched the three men argue like ordinary citizens on the streets, a dark line across his forehead.
What’s this?
You are all the leaders of your schools. Is this really appropriate?
Besides, I haven’t said that I want my child to become your disciple!
You are competing like this without considering me? You don’t take me seriously?
“Masters, please calm down. My child is only just born. Although, according to what you said, his fortune is unparalleled, he can’t even speak yet. Even if you want to teach him, you must wait until he grows up a little.
Also, I will not let my child leave Xianyang, leave Qin.”
Ying Zheng's meaning was clear. If you want to teach my child, you must stay in Qin.
Upon hearing this, the three men fell silent.
They were all in a secluded state. It was only because of Zhao Chen’s extraordinary birth that they had to come out of seclusion.
After seeing him, they were even more eager to take him as a disciple. But, to make them stay in Qin, stay in the palace, that was impossible.
Wouldn't that mean they submit to Qin?
Although Qin had changed its fate due to Zhao Chen, that didn't mean they would submit to it.
“Your Majesty, I plan to have Dong Jun Yan Fei and Yue Shen stay in the palace to guard the young lord. Please grant me permission.”
Critical hit, shattering the veil!
Dong Huang Taiyi's sudden statement caught the three men off guard.
They looked at Dong Huang Taiyi in shock, as if they wanted to see through him by looking at his black robe.
We never knew you were like this, Dong Huang Taiyi.
Shameless, utterly shameless.
Didn't you Yin Yang school only have a cooperative relationship with Qin?
How come you now call yourself a subject and send the second and third in command of your Yin Yang school to the palace?
What are you Yin Yang school trying to do?
【The Confucian school doesn't have female disciples. Looks like I need to make Fu Nian take in some beautiful female disciples when I get back.】
Xunzi thought to himself.
【How come I didn’t think of this? If I knew, I would have brought Xiao Meng'er along. No, after I finish teaching Xiao Meng'er when I get back, I'll send her to Xianyang.】
Beimingzi thought to himself.
At this moment, he felt fortunate to have taken Xiao Meng as his disciple. Her talent and fortune were extraordinary, a good match for the young lord.
Only Guiguzi looked bitter. He was a lone wolf.
No, Gai Nie is protecting the Qin King, that’s pretty good.
In a flash, Guiguzi was happy again.
