If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 973 Li Si's Resentment
As the master of the Taoist art of "Distinguishing the Direction of Dragon Qi", Xiaoyu naturally discovered the change of dragon energy first.

——Is it possible that Ying Ziying’s compatibility with the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty is so high?
Not only did he take away Queen Mother Zhao's dragon energy, he was even able to raise a dragon with his body.

He used his own energy to make the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty even stronger, and even gave birth to a bit of "royal power and hegemony"!
Could it be that this guy possesses the "true dragon destiny"?
But even in his previous life, Ziying was only the "King of Qin" and a king of a fallen country.

The Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation. After Hu Hai's death, Ziying succeeded to the throne, but he did not inherit the throne of "Emperor" of China, but the throne of "King of Qin" of Guanzhong.

Xiaoyu was confused and uncertain, but made a quick decision in her mind.

She stretched out her hand, trying to call back the golden dragon hovering above Ziying's head (in the weather).

The golden dragon was actually struggling and resisting.

It wants to stay in Ying Ziying's body forever.

Xiao Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he only used the Heavenly Master's Order to strengthen the Heavenly Master's power.

Meng Qi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he realized something, and he calmly imposed his authority as Grand Master on her.

Similar to the "joint casting" of Tianshidao.

The night before, when Xiao Yu's consciousness entered the Qinling Dragon Vein and caused an earthquake in the Qinling Mountains, the various heavenly masters also worked together to calculate the secrets of heaven.

After all, their power as Heavenly Masters belongs to the same lineage.

"Swoosh!" With Meng Qi's secret help, the golden dragon immediately turned into a beam of golden light and fell into her hands.

She rolled it into a dragon balloon again.

“In fact, Master Zongzheng, there is no need for you to participate in the test. You are a member of the Ying clan and you also have dragon energy in your body.

The dragon energy of the Great Qin will definitely not reject you.

You see, even part of the dragon energy in your body has been brought out." She said naturally.

After saying that, she split the dragon energy into two and threw a golden lump towards Ying Ziying.

Like a young swallow returning to its nest, it flew into his chest and disappeared.

Another Jin Tuotuo actually contacted Queen Dowager Zhao again.

Queen Mother Zhao looked stunned, and even suspected that the loss of dragon energy just now was just an illusion.

Meng Qi also stared blankly at Xiao Yu splitting the dragon energy that had originally merged into one into two parts.

Looking at the dragon energy belonging to the Queen Mother, it transformed into a three-meter-long golden dragon and flew towards another tester.

——Yu Fengxian's control over the dragon energy has actually reached this level? Can the dragon energy that has been taken away by Ying Ziying be distinguished and disassembled again?
The shock in his heart was no less than that of modern people seeing a large organic molecule having its molecular structure disassembled by a person with his own hands.

It was beyond his knowledge and completely incomprehensible.

Even Meng Qi couldn't understand it, and other ministers also became suspicious.

When they saw Ying Ziying making the Golden Dragon stronger and emitting a domineering aura, this group of elites immediately thought of a possibility: Queen Mother Sao did not have the appearance of a monarch, but Ziying did, and Ziying had the fate of an emperor!

But Ziying was only a clan leader, not a prince.

The atmosphere in the hall became very subtle. Ying Ziying's forehead was covered with sweat and his heart was in a mess. Until Master Yu Tian naturally withdrew the dragon energy and restored the three-meter-long "Empress Dowager Golden Dragon".

——Am I overthinking?
At this time, many ministers were confused.

Xiaoyu was calm and checked the remaining "volunteers" one by one.

Except for Lao Ai who was a traitor, the rest were all "obedient ministers" of the Qin Dynasty.

Being an obedient minister does not necessarily mean being a loyal or wise minister.

This is not surprising. Except for Lao Ai who was forced to do the job, everyone else was a real volunteer.

You must have some idea of ​​what you are thinking.

"How do you feel? Is my 'Heavenly Eye to Distinguish Between Good and Bad' effective?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

"This is a magical skill to stabilize the country and ensure its security!" Wei Liaozi exclaimed.

Ying Ziying should have been very excited and should have praised the "Heavenly Eye for Distinguishing between Good and Bad" lavishly.

But the experience just now made him "depressed" a lot: he was excited and nervous inside, but he was forced by the situation to keep a low profile.

Lao Ai's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Without the Ying clan's dragon energy, relying only on the natural dragon energy in Xianyang City, it shouldn't be so spiritual. Can it also distinguish between 'loyalty' and treachery'?"

Xiao Yu said seriously: "My Tianshi Dao technique is called 'Heavenly Eyes to Distinguish the Smooth and the Soft'.

One can only distinguish between compliance and disobedience, but cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery, or between the wise and the foolish.

Suppose there is a wise minister who dares to speak out and is loyal to the country, but is not trusted by the emperor. He may resign in anger, resent the emperor, and lose faith in the Qin Dynasty.

This kind of person should be considered a loyal and wise minister, but the dragon energy and his popularity are mutually exclusive.

In my eyes, he is considered a "rebel".

This is true for ministers, and even more so for the people.

The people were oppressed by certain officials, or suffered a lot because of certain policies of the court, and even their families were broken up. They hated heaven and earth, hated the court, and were considered rebels in the eyes of heaven.

If there is a treacherous person who secretly occupies a high position in the court, he knows very well that everything he has today comes from the grace of the monarch and the Qin court.

Even though he specializes in doing things that harm the country and the people, the Qin Dynasty will be better off without him.

In my eyes, he is a 'submissive minister'."

Lao Ai straightened his back, smiled, looked around, and said loudly: "What Master Yu said is very reasonable! Obedient ministers are not the same as loyal ministers or good ministers.

A 'rebel minister' who does not rebel may instead become a great and wise minister.

I feel wronged because I was treated unfairly in the court!"

Wei Liaozi said unhappily, "You are a lucky minister. You have risen from a street thug to a great king with a fiefdom. What is there to be wronged about?"

Lao Ai said hurriedly, "Sir, we are discussing the matter at hand in the court. We are only discussing Master Yu's 'Heavenly Eyes to Identify Obedience and Rebellion'. This is not me complaining. I am just like all of you, an obedient minister."

Right Prime Minister Feng Quji glanced at him and asked, "Master Yu, how far can your divine eye see?"

"I can see the whole Xianyang City at a glance." Xiao Yu said with emotion: "I flew hundreds of feet high in the sky, and at a glance, Xianyang City was red!

Each red dot represents a rebel, and the whole city is dyed red.

The king is like a boat and the people are like water. Water can carry the boat but can also capsize it.

To change the people's hearts and prevent the Great Qin from capsizing, it all depends on the nobles in the court!"

Feng Quji glanced at the empress dowager sitting on the dragon throne, sighed softly, closed his mouth and stopped asking questions.

The Queen Mother was a little annoyed: "Why are you looking at me? Is it my fault that the whole city is rebellious?"
And Yu Fengxian, you are the Heavenly Master appointed by me, why do you keep saying such treasonous words with innuendos?

Lao Ai was also very dissatisfied with Master Yu's "lack of knowledge of the times".

"Master Yu, your divine eyes are indeed powerful, but you shouldn't sneak into the residences of the masters without permission."

Xiao Yu said: "I have great skills and can sneak in quietly without disturbing you all! You see, except for Prime Minister Li, no one else felt anything."

The ministers were speechless.

Lao Ai said in a deep voice: "This is not a question of whether you have feelings or not. You sneaked into the official residence, which is against the law and discipline."

Xiao Yu said: "I think it's just the opposite. Sneaking into the mansions of the dignitaries is a sign of respect and care for them.

Just think about it, if I only saw the big red dots, I would report to Your Majesty and say that they were all rebels.

Aren't you all implicated in this?
Isn't it my responsibility and protection to you to investigate secretly instead of relying on my magical powers to judge loyalty and rebellion?"

Lao Ai said: "If Your Majesty is a tyrant, then what you said does make some sense.

But the Queen Mother is kind, generous, wise and powerful, and she will not punish you just because of your divine eye and Taoist magic.

You report the news to Her Majesty, and she will just send another court official to investigate."

Xiao Yu looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "Your Majesty, if I face an emergency like the 'prophecy case' again in the future, can I adapt to the situation?"

The Queen Mother hesitated. Yu Fengxian's monitoring of Xianyang City was undoubtedly very beneficial to her and Daqin.

With Yu Fengxian keeping an eye on the mansions of princes and ministers, she at least didn't have to worry about Li Si suddenly having a brain storm and leading hundreds of strange people to attack the Lingguang Palace.

But today Yu Fengxian did not sneak into her Lin Guang Palace, not because she did not dare, but because Lin Guang Palace was not worth sneaking into.

The next time Yu Fengxian felt it necessary to sneak into Lingguang Palace to spy on her, it would be too late for her to get angry.

Lao Ai said earnestly: "Your Majesty, you cannot even live in peace in your own home, and you need to worry about being monitored. How can you, the ministers who have worked hard and made great contributions, still serve the country wholeheartedly?

The civil and military officials are in a state of panic, and chaos is imminent!"

The Queen Mother glanced at all the civil and military officials.

Even loyal old ministers like Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji, who clearly admired Yu Fengxian and praised her "Heavenly Eye to Distinguish Between Obedience and Rebellion" as a magical skill for protecting the country and the nation, now looked conflicted and obviously hesitant.

The Queen Mother went to see Master Meng again.

Although he had a blank expression on his face, he did not defend Yu Fengxian, which made his attitude clear.

"Master Yu, I have two rules for you. The first is that you are not allowed to sneak into my palace without being summoned, no matter when or where. Well, even the palace of Prince Changxin is not allowed.

Second, if you encounter an emergency and need to conduct an undercover investigation, you must first go to the palace to report to me.

Or find King Changxin.

Only after receiving the imperial edict with the national seal can we take action. "

When the ministers heard this, instead of relaxing their brows, they became even more confused.

Wei Liaozi said: "Empress Dowager, the first point is fine, but I think the second point should be changed.

You must first report this to the two prime ministers or this humble official.

After all, the Sima Ling of the Qin Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei Mansion.

Because of the first clause, the Taiwei Mansion doesn’t even need to notify the Queen Mother, and doesn’t need to sign a decree with a seal.”

Meng Qi was unhappy and said, “I don’t agree with Master Yu’s behavior.

Because she sacrificed herself for the country, but was not liked by others and her efforts were not appreciated.

Not worth it.

But her dedication to the public good and her extraordinary abilities should only give her more power, not restrict her.”

Wei Liaozi said: "Now let's just talk about sneaking into the official residence.

This matter is closely related to all officials, so it needs to be restricted.

If it were someone else, it would have to be banned.

Master Yu Tian is indeed dedicated to the public and has outstanding abilities, which is why she is given the privilege of investigating all officials.

Master Meng, this is actually a privilege, not a restriction!
If we have to say there are restrictions, they are only to limit the size of the privileges.

As for other matters within the Imperial Observatory, my Taiwei Mansion will not interfere."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I am a barbarian and I don't know the rules, that's why I behaved so wildly before.

Now that I understand the rules, I think there should be restrictions.

I agree with the two points raised by the Queen Mother and the two points raised by the Commandant.

You can notify the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal, and the Queen Mother at the same time without any conflict."

Wei Liaozi looked at the ease and joy in her expression, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

“Since Master Yu Tian also agrees, then this matter is settled.” said the Queen Mother.

Li Si, who had been gloomy and silent for a long time, said with resentment: "Queen Mother, let's not talk about what will happen next. Yesterday, Yu Fengxian had already trespassed into the residences of the ministers. Shouldn't she be held accountable first?"

The Queen Mother was puzzled and asked, "Master Yu has already explained the reason and demonstrated the Heavenly Eye to distinguish the order of the tide in public. Could it be that Prime Minister Li still has doubts?"

"No matter whether the Taoist method of distinguishing obedience and rebellion with the Heavenly Eye is true or false, she broke into the residence of an important official of the court with unclear intentions. This is a fact and a serious crime." Li Si said hatefully.

The Queen Mother looked at his haggard and resentful expression and seemed to understand, yet not quite understand.

She understood that he was determined to cause trouble for Yu Fengxian.

But she didn't understand why he kept holding on to Yu Fengxian.

"Did she hurt Prime Minister Li's family last night?"

"Regardless of whether she hurt anyone or not, she trespassed into the residence of an important official. According to Qin law, what crime should she be punished for?" Li Si said.

——According to Qin law, she should be beheaded. Do you want me to kill Yu Fengxian? Where does such a deep hatred come from?

The Queen Mother pondered and said, "If Master Yu was an ordinary person, she would have committed a serious crime. But she is a master of heaven and is investigating a case.

She had already given an explanation that was accepted by all the ministers and promised not to do it again. Why did Prime Minister Li keep pursuing her?

Or is there something else behind what happened last night?
Just considering that Master Yu changed his appearance and broke into Li's residence, he definitely cannot be convicted.

Not to mention the Li Mansion, if she sneaked into the Lin Guang Palace for a major case of prophecy, I would have no choice but to deal with her in the same way.

But if she has committed other serious crimes in Li's mansion, please let the Prime Minister know so that I and other ministers can judge the case together."

All the ministers looked at him in confusion.

Li Si had a complicated expression, showing confusion, greater depression and resentment, but he couldn't speak of it.

His behavior made the Queen Mother and the ministers even more curious.

The Queen Mother looked at Xiaoyu. She was calm and composed, as if she had everything planned out for herself.

"Master Yu, what unspeakable evil did you do to Prime Minister Li last night?" asked the Queen Mother.

Xiao Yu glanced at Li Si and shook his head, saying, "I have done nothing evil from beginning to end.

There were indeed a few servants in the Li Mansion who were unconscious, but they were just under an illusion and fell asleep.

Even if you leave it alone, you can only sleep for a few days and nights at most.

If you want to wake them up quickly, it's also very simple.

Just take a sip of herbal tea, spray it on their face a few times, and then call their name loudly. "

When she used the Disha method to transform into a servant in Li's mansion, she must have knocked them out first and hid them in a corner of Li's mansion.

It's not an illusion.

Use the sleepyhead to knock it out without leaving any trace, and will not alarm the immortals and "guardian spirits" of the Li Mansion.

It is safe and has no side effects, making it the most suitable choice for stealing things.

"However, I can probably guess why Prime Minister Li has difficulty speaking," she continued.

"What do you know?" Li Si stared at her with bloodshot eyes.

Xiao Yu sighed, "Prime Minister Li, if you still have a bit of common sense, you should be grateful to me instead of resenting me.

After I discovered your secret last night, did I shout it out loud so that everyone would know?
I'm helping you keep a secret!
Although I don’t know what happened later, they left you, but this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me.”

The Queen Mother and the ministers were bewildered.

Li Si was cheered up, "You really do know! It's because you know that they left me."

"Nonsense! If they want to protect you, they will definitely show up in front of outsiders often.

In fact, I had heard others talk about them before last night.

There is only one situation in which they will leave you, and destiny has changed."

There was a hint of pity in Xiaoyu's eyes when she looked at Li Si.
