Chapter 196 - 193: Conquering Four Sides_1
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Upon entering the imperial study, Dong Zhongshu bowed respectfully, dressed in a grey Confucian robe. His jet-black hair was neatly tied into a bun and enclosed in an exquisite jade crown, epitomizing the spirit of a scholar. His most striking feature was his eyes, filled with the brilliance of wisdom. It seemed as if nothing in the world could escape his observation.
"Issue the decree, appoint Dong Zhongshu as an official of the Qin Dynasty, and entitle him to the second-rank treatment!" Qin Wudao commanded, temporarily assigning Dong Zhongshu a nominal post without granting him any actual power within the court.
"I am grateful, Your Majesty!"
As the proposer of the ’Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues,’ Dong Zhongshu naturally adhered to the will of the sovereign. He willingly accepted the role.
From this point on, the great scholar representing Confucianism formally stepped onto the stage of the Divine Court of the Qin Dynasty! In the future, he would shine brilliantly and play an irreplaceable role!
「Three days later」
Outside the Imperial Capital, Evil Qi soared into the sky. Five armies sped their way over, shattering the white clouds at the horizon and silencing the cicadas of midsummer.
"It seems all have made fruitful efforts!" Qin Wudao, sitting in his throne room for a court meeting, looked towards the outskirts of the city and, after careful sensation, revealed a hint of a smile.
As the ruler of the Divine Court, he could observe everything happening within the Qin Dynasty through Fortune. Under his perception, the capabilities of the ’Four Divine Beast Armies’ and the ’Bei Wei Army’ had generally elevated by three levels. The ordinary soldiers at the grassroots had all reached the Fasang Realm. Those with exceptional talents had even broken through to the Nirvana Realm and reached the sixth-tier Nirvana stage!
The future of the Qin Army was promising!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the triumphant return of our armies!" Zhuge Liang, standing at the forefront of all the officials, congratulated him with a smile on his face.
