Fish swimming around the world

All officials were present in Zhengyang Palace. The empress sat on the throne, her eyes full of majesty, and she was writing quickly.

At this time, with a report, Gu Siyuan appeared at the gate of Zhangtai Palace and walked forward step by step.

The empress put down the imperial pen in her hand, flicked her sleeves lightly, and stood up.

This action was enough to show her importance to Gu Siyuan, and it also made all officials solemn.

As soon as Gu Siyuan came in, he saw the extraordinary woman in the world.

He had seen that woman more than once, but this was the first time he was so formal. And seeing the empress sitting on the throne with a golden phoenix rising behind her, he actually had an inexplicable feeling of seeing the Taizu Renhuang.

Gu Siyuan came to the center of the hall and stood still, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply: "I, Gu Siyuan, pay my respects to your majesty."

Before he came, he had already weighed thousands of times in his mind, how to address him, whether it was your majesty or the King of Qin. However, to his complete surprise, during the formal meeting, he actually called out a word without hesitation - Your Majesty.

The empress smiled, stepped down the steps, and came to Gu Siyuan: "Sir, please stand up quickly."

Seeing Gu Siyuan stand up, the empress smiled slightly: "Sir, we are not strangers either, so there is no need to be too polite. Sir, you have finally ascended to the throne from the grass, I think you have made up your mind."

Gu Siyuan said seriously: "Please help me, Your Majesty."

The empress smiled with satisfaction, looked around, and said loudly: "My Great Qin welcomes the military strategist, and all officials congratulate!"

The chimes rang, the rituals and music sounded, and all officials congratulated.

After all the etiquette was done, it lasted for an hour, and he was invited by the empress to enter the study for a private meeting.

Gu Siyuan was still a little dazed along the way, and never thought that the scene would be so grand.

Before he came, he understood his identity. He was the Great Qin Master, but in fact he was the spokesperson of the Crown Prince. In his opinion, it was enough to have a few military leaders to receive him, but he never thought it would be like this. For a moment, he was a little emotional. With his heart agitated, he actually had the urge to devote all his knowledge to show his ambition.

But he was extraordinary after all. He finally suppressed his turbulent thoughts and looked at the empress sitting opposite him calmly.

"Mr. Gu..." The empress spoke slowly.

"Mr. Gu hid in the grass for several years, and then lived among ordinary people for five years. I am also an old acquaintance of mine. There are no outsiders at this time, so you don't have to be polite."

Gu Siyuan bowed slightly: "I am a humble person, I hope your majesty will not blame me."

The empress smiled faintly: "Tell me, Mr. Gu, are you really willing to serve my Great Qin?"

Gu Siyuan pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "Since Mr. Gu is here, there is no reason to go back and forth."

The empress nodded: "In this case, you will be a member of my Great Qin and enjoy the support of the people of Qin. However, Mr. Gu believes that my Great Qin How is it? "

Gu Siyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Qin, with its magnificent appearance, is the most powerful vassal state in the past thousand years. However, Qin's strength comes from respecting laws and strengthening military discipline. And Qin's prosperity comes from clear politics and enriching people's livelihood. In the past five years, Gu has seen countless new and strange scenes, and it is thriving. If nothing unexpected happens, the world in the future will respect the Great Qin. "

The empress said slowly: "What do you mean, my Great Qin will sweep across the four countries and change the dynasty?"

Gu Siyuan didn't expect her to be so straightforward and unconcealed.

After a moment of silence, he said seriously: "Your Majesty has the ambition to conquer the world. If you have a mind, you can do it."

The empress smiled slightly: "Sir, you seem to be confused."

Gu Siyuan sighed lightly: "To be frank, before entering Qin, I once criticized it in my heart. Since Qin is so powerful, why not support the royal family and rectify the country. However, after entering Qin, I suddenly felt that Qin was very different. The country in your Majesty's mind seemed to have a new atmosphere of creating the world. In the vast history, there has never been a dynasty that has been prosperous for a long time. Qin was burned in decay and thrived in great disputes. Gu thought... ... Zhou has fallen, and the Great Qin - should be established. "

The empress looked calm: "What you said, sir, is only for me to hear. But it doesn't matter, I have enough use for you, and when the rivers and seas are peaceful and the world is united, you can judge the right and wrong of my life. "

Gu Siyuan's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and he bowed lightly: "The empress is indeed the empress. "

The empress smiled calmly: "However, since you are fighting for my Great Qin, you must first understand an important question, that is, what is my ambition?"

Gu Siyuan said: "I didn't know it, but after five years in Qin, I saw your majesty's words. "Yes, Your Majesty's governance of the country can be said to be overwhelming and unrivaled. If you talk about Your Majesty's ambitions, I dare not speak nonsense. "

The empress flicked her sleeves lightly: "I have traveled all over the world to see the splendor of the Chinese nation and the mountains and rivers. I have lived in the countryside and observed the sufferings of the people. I have seen that our dignified Chinese nation is torn apart, and the princes and powerful people are fighting endlessly. I have seen that there are barbarians outside who covet the treasures of nature, and their descendants are wolves who bully the country and humiliate the people. I have been worried and finally set up a lifelong ambition, which is to sweep the four seas and eight wildernesses, unify the world, strengthen our nation, strengthen our people, and create a foundation for eternity. "

Gu Si Yuan was actually in awe: "Your Majesty, you have a great vision."

The empress stood up, opened the window and looked at the starry sky outside: "I once swore to defend my Great Qin and protect my country. When I am alive, I will defend the land and expand the borders, wipe out the four barbarians, and defend the foundation of my Chinese race for eternity. When I die, I will also become a heroic spirit to protect my Chinese race forever. This oath is witnessed by heaven and earth, witnessed by the sun and the moon, and heard by the gods and demons!"

Gu Siyuan stood up suddenly, and felt a great will that he had never felt before, as if it was an electric current passing through his body, making his blood burn wildly, and his heart was like a raging sea with thousands of waves.

——This is the ambition of the emperor.

Gu Siyuan looked at the back of the woman, as if he was looking up at a mountain.

For a moment, he even wanted to abandon all his past and follow this person to sweep away the world and create a prosperous world.

The empress turned around and looked at him: "I don't want your heart for now, but I respect your learning. I hope you will think about the national justice and benefit the people, and don't be narrow-minded about personal honor and disgrace, and don't be blindly loyal. That's all, sir, think about it yourself."

Gu Siyuan slowly calmed down: "Your Majesty... why do you value it so much."

The empress said: "If the prince does this, why can't I?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt that hit Gu Siyuan's heart, "Your Majesty... you..."

"Yes." The empress's eyes were bright: "I know, the prince knows, and he knows too. Only those who seek selfish interests are foolish."

Gu Siyuan stood there in a daze. After a long time, he finally asked in endless shock: "Whose world is it?"

It was not until the empress left for a long time that Gu Siyuan slowly walked to the window. The empress's last words in his mind were like thunder, and they never stopped for a long time.

——My world, his world, and the world of all people. Dynasties can change, but the country cannot be moved. Emperors can rotate, but the nation cannot be changed.

Gu Siyuan's heart surged, looking at the starry sky, a blazing light gradually appeared in his eyes.

"So that's it... Reopen the world, establish a new dynasty, and build a foundation for generations——"
