The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

The emperor held his sword.

He silently watched the kneeling figure.

Silence was uttered until he spoke softly: "Only I can discern this?"

"Yes!" Fusu said, kneeling before him.

"The world is now at peace, but the people have not yet submitted. What we need to do now is to implement benevolent governance to win their hearts."

"If we forcibly conscript them, not only will we fail to win their loyalty, but they will likely become resentful and complain loudly!"

Having said that, he raised his head: "Your Majesty, I humbly request that you consider my opinion carefully!"

After saying this, Fusu lowered his head.

"Oh."

However, the First Emperor laughed.

His tone was heavy: "Are you speaking to me as a subject, or as a son?"

The First Emperor remained calm and spoke indifferently.

However, a little more knowledge about the First Emperor reveals that the more he acted this way, the angrier he became.

It is unknown whether Fusu was aware of this.

He lowered his head deeply and responded.

"Your subject is speaking not as a subject, nor as a son, but as a citizen of the Great Qin."

"That's enough!"

The First Emperor's voice was chillingly cold, every word carrying an icy edge.

He lowered his head to look at Fusu, his eyes cold.

"If you speak as a subject, it is disloyal; if you speak as a son, it is unfilial."

"But you speak as a citizen of the Great Qin."

"Fusu," the First Emperor looked at him, "do you mean to say that I am wrong?"

"Do all the people of my Great Qin harbor resentment towards me?"

Fusu lowered his head: "Your subject dares not!"

"I dare you to do this!" the First Emperor shouted, then turned his back and refused to look at him again.

"Fusu, you are disloyal as a subject and unfilial as a son. You are neither loyal nor filial, without a ruler or father. You are hereby confined to the palace!"

The First Emperor's voice came, and Fusu raised his head, only to see the First Emperor's tall back.

Under his gaze.

The figure raised his hand, and someone entered the palace to take Fusu away according to the First Emperor's decree.

Fusu did not offer any resistance.

He simply let others take him away, completely lost and disoriented.

……

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor stood there, sword in hand, saying nothing.

I just watched the white-robed man and his attendant gradually disappear into the distance until they could no longer see anything.

He lowered his hand and asked Zhao Gao beside him,

"Zhao Gao, have I truly been wrong?"

Zhao Gao, standing to the side, was already covered in cold sweat.

Not daring to look up at the emperor, she stammered, "Your Majesty is a wise and sagacious ruler, unparalleled in history. How could you be wrong?"

"Yes, how could I be wrong?"

The First Emperor stared in that direction, lost in thought.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know whether I'm wrong or not."

"However, everything I have done is for the sake of Great Qin!"

He simply said this, his eyes behind the bead sharp and unwavering.

"What if I am truly wrong? What if Great Qin is wrong?"

"Shouldn't the Qin Dynasty have ended its chaotic fate, instead allowing war to rage and nations to wage war against each other?"

"Should the Qin Dynasty not build the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu, but instead allow the Xiongnu to invade southwards and plunder the people?"

The First Emperor asked, but it was unclear who he was asking.

"If my Great Qin is wrong? If I am wrong?"

"Then what has the world done wrong? This chaotic world has been wrong from the very beginning!"

"This is Heaven's fault, not mine!"

There was no more sound in the hall. Zhao Gao didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

Finally, Zhao Gao cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, what about the construction of the Black Bird Palace?"

"Everything as usual!"

"Yes," Zhao Gao replied, then lowered his head again.

But at that moment, Xuan Ye, who was perched on the First Emperor's shoulder, slowly opened his eyes.

After listening for so long, he had no choice but to take action.

The First Emperor wanted to build a palace for him.

Logically, he should have agreed, since he would be the beneficiary, and it would also represent the First Emperor's high regard for him.

As for myself, I don't need to do anything.

They're just waiting for the palace to be completed so they can move into the new palace!

But in the end, it was just wishful thinking. Now I am a human soul in a bird's body, and I can't get used to living or living like this.

What difference does it make where you live?

Building a new palace would consume manpower, so it's better to stay here and there's no need to build any more palaces.

Thinking of this, Xuan Ye flapped its wings and cried out.

It leaped down from the First Emperor's shoulder, its feathers fluttering lightly, and landed steadily on the floor of the palace.

The First Emperor lowered his eyes.

"The Heavenly Mandate Black Bird, what does this mean? I understand. Could it be that it is greatly pleased and is therefore putting on this act?"

"Is that so?" The First Emperor's voice fell as he looked at Xuan Ye, his gaze fixed on Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye looked at the First Emperor.

Finally, he slowly shook his head, and the hall fell silent, completely still.

After a long time, he finally asked,

"So, what is the Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird's intention?"

Xuan Ye spread its wings, flapped them gently, then pointed at Zhao Gao and slowly shook its head.

At that moment, the First Emperor seemed to understand.

He stood there without saying anything, just watching. Finally, he turned around and put down his hand that was holding the sword.

"Since this is the will of the Heavenly Bird, then let's cancel it."

Zhao Gao was drenched in cold sweat, and remained silent with his head down.

One thing after another has happened today.

However, upon hearing the First Emperor's voice, he bowed even lower and quickly responded.

"only."

The First Emperor waved his hand. "You may leave."

"Yes." Zhao Gao lowered his head, bowed, and slowly withdrew from Xianyang Palace.

In Xianyang Palace,

At this moment, only the First Emperor remained, along with Xuan Ye, who was perched on the lamp stand.

The First Emperor simply stood there quietly.

His gaze swept over the chaotic palace, and finally, he closed his eyes.

He let out a violent cough.

At some point, only a desolate look remained on his face.
