"Your Majesty, I have just joined the Qin Dynasty and have not performed any meritorious deeds. To be conferred as the State Preceptor is neither reasonable nor justifiable!" As the ministers were still recovering their composure, Gui Guzi stepped forward and said this.
His words nearly made all the ministers explode in anger.
He actually declined the position of State Preceptor?
The surging jealousy within them made them all lose their composure!
On the contrary, Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Yuan Tiangang, and others watched Gui Guzi with intrigued expressions. They knew that Gui Guzi's words were not meant as a rejection of the State Preceptor's position; otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the honors earlier.
The only possibility was that Gui Guzi intended to accomplish a great feat that would silence all criticisms and allow him to ascend to the State Preceptor's position righteously and without objections.
