"I want to use Wei Zhe, throwing him like an arhat fish into the waters of my Great Qin!"
"I want him to stir the winds and clouds, to stimulate those veteran generals who have grown somewhat complacent!"
"I want every single one of them to understand a principle!"
Ying Zheng's voice resounded through the grand hall once more.
"In this Great Qin, if you want glory and wealth, if you want to ennoble your wives and protect your children, do not speak to me of seniority or background!"
"Go to the battlefield and trade for it with the enemies' heads!"
Li Xin looked into Ying Zheng's eyes, which were burning with fierce wildfires. He opened his mouth, but in the end, not a single word came out.
He slowly lowered his proud head.
"The Great King is... wise."
Ying Zheng turned and sat back down upon the cold throne.

To test whether this monstrous entity called Wei Zhe would change in nature after acquiring this towering wealth and authority.
To test whether he was ultimately a peerless lethal weapon that could be controlled, or a primordial fierce beast that would turn and devour its master.
"Zhao Gao."
"This slave is here."
"Draft the royal decree, and use my Imperial Seal."
"At once, by eight-hundred-li urgent courier, send it to Yiyang!"
"I want all the officers and men of the entire army to hear my voice at the very first moment!"
"As you command!"
