Chapter 348: The Promise of Hanging
For Gu Yue, Zhao Gao had already had murderous intentions. In just a few pillars of incense, he won the favor of His Majesty. Or come with Meng Yi, if you keep him any longer, I'm afraid that in a few days, he and Li Si will have a hard time.
But before he could make a move, this kid actually took the first step and pushed him away from His Majesty's side.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, clever words were his strength, how could he be ridden on the head by this milky little ghost!
"Lord Zhao!" Gu Yue interrupted Zhao Gao, his face still smiling harmlessly, "Please!"
Zhao Gao wanted to say something more, but Qin Shihuang said impatiently: "Zhao Gao, don't go quickly!"
Zhao Gao ...... Command. β
Looking at Zhao Gao, who was reluctant to leave, Meng Yi exclaimed joy in his heart.
Although I don't know if these four koi fish were arranged by Mr. in advance, Mr. really helped him out of his bad breath.
Zhao Gao, this guy, probably never thought that he would have such a day!
Gu Yue stood on the royal seat, smiled at Zhao Gao's departing back, glanced at the assassin who was hanging on the back of Meng Yi's horse, then turned around, nodded at Li Siwei, and bent down into the car.
Li Si hurriedly replied, I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Gu Yue's glance just now seemed to have a slight meaning.
The young man's eyes, at first glance, were pure and bright, but they seemed to be able to see through all the intrigues and tricks in the world, which made him a little afraid to look directly.
Li Si shook his head, dispelled the lingering thoughts in his mind, and continued to listen intently to the conversation between the two in the car.
Gu Yue sat down again, "Your Majesty, Gan Luo has a suggestion, I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in hearing it?"
"Speak!"
"The sky is auspicious, and the year is auspicious. It must have been the people of Lang Xie and Rongcheng counties who thought of His Majesty's imperial grace and touched the heavens and the earth, so that such a strange scene appeared on His Majesty's tour. Why doesn't Your Majesty take this opportunity to reduce the taxes of these two counties for one year, and show your appreciation?"
"Tax reduction?" Qin Shi Huang looked over, his expression a little unpredictable.
Hearing Ying Zheng's salty and indifferent voice, Meng Yi's heart outside the car suddenly became nervous.
"Your Majesty is angry, please listen to Gan Luo's analysis of the pros and cons. Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many counties are there in the Qin State at present?"
Gu Yue only knew that the "thirty-six counties of the world" recorded in the historical records were established by Qin Shi Huang when he was first unified. He couldn't determine how many there were now, so he had to let Ying Zheng say it himself.
"Eight out of forty. β
Gu Yue sighed slightly in his heart and continued: "Then, how is the loss to Your Majesty if the tax is reduced or exempted from two counties a year?"
"Insignificant!" I have to say that the more powerful the person, the easier it is to be provoked.
Gu Yue laughed secretly, and his face was still humble and polite: "In this case, why doesn't Your Majesty show favor to the people." In this way, the people of Langxirong and Rongcheng counties will be more diligent in addition to being grateful. The harvest in the coming year may be twice as large as in the rest of the counties.
On this basis, His Majesty may select the two counties with the best harvest each year, and the tax reduction shall be shown for one year. In this way, without supervision, the production of each county in the Qin State will be spontaneously improved. β
Although Ying Zheng was short-tempered, he was a king who was very capable of accepting the opinions of his ministers, otherwise the various systems of the Qin Dynasty would not have been established.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Shi Huang said: "I haven't seen you for thirty years, but you are more and more able to speak." β
"Only a king of such a virtuous name as Your Majesty can have the patience to listen to Ganluo's cleverness. Gu Yue slapped a rainbow fart, and then said to Meng Yi outside the car, "General Meng, don't convey Your Majesty's will yet." β
"Yes!" Meng Yi waved his hand, the guard of honor on patrol stopped, he came to the royal car in a stirring mood, and said loudly, "Your Majesty has a will, and the sky is auspicious...... The tax of the two counties of Lang Xie Rongcheng is specially exempted for one year, and the reward has been demonstrated. β
"You will make the courtier who summons me, such a proud person as Meng Yi, be obedient to you. "Qin Shi Huang said.
"The minister is frightened!" Gu Yue said very insincerely, then lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please!"
Qin Shi Huang snorted lightly and came outside with a majestic face. Just after Meng Yi finished delivering his will, the hundreds of people who knelt on the ground on both sides were still in a surprise, and when they saw Qin Shi Huang come out, their emotions were suddenly ignited, and they sincerely shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty!"
The sound is loud and soars into the sky.
Ying Zheng had probably never heard such a loud mountain cry, and was slightly stunned, and then returned to normal, straightened his back, held his hands behind his back, and enjoyed everyone's worship.
Meng Yili Si and other accompanying officials had already knelt down and bowed. Gu Yue had no choice but to grieve his golden knee. It's just that before he could bow down, he was grabbed by Yingzheng's collar.
Gu Yue was going to make a show, but now that Yingzheng didn't let him kneel, he took the opportunity to change his kneeling posture to half kneeling. It is naturally inappropriate to stand, otherwise Qin Shi Huang will not be happy to pursue it one day, then he will really have a hard time arguing.
Although he is not actually afraid, he is just worried that he will be used by Li Si and other people with ulterior motives to make a fuss.
That night, Qin Shi Huang and a group of important entourages stayed in the mansion that had been arranged by the Langxi County Guard.
Gu Yue began to use Guiguzi's health regimen as a gimmick and strictly managed Qin Shi Huang's diet. Ying Zheng was stunned by the astonishing sentences that burst out of his mouth from time to time, and finally had to obey.
"The teacher's "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in the Book of Classics" has six main aspects: shengshen, nourishing ambition, truthfulness, self-preservation, punctuality, and imitation.
The teacher believes that there are five qi in the human body, namely the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys. To nourish these five qi, we need to focus on the spirit, supplemented by food.
Self-cultivation cannot be achieved overnight, Ganluo can only start with His Majesty's diet, help His Majesty adjust his physical condition to the best, and then slowly guide Qi and guide the spirit, and quietly nourish the ......"
Qin Shi Huang listened to the drowsiness, on the one hand, he desperately wanted to pursue immortality, but on the other hand, he really hated this long and painful process.
"Father!" A figure rushed in from outside, saw Gu Yue, circled around him a few times, and said excitedly, "Erchen heard Lord Li Si say that there is an extremely remarkable person next to Father and Emperor, who is in his forties but still looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, come to see it, it is really so magical!"
"Little boy!" Gu Yue bowed lightly to Hu Hai, and tens of thousands of grass and mud horses roared and galloped past in his heart.
No matter how you go, you have his-stirring stick, it's really ghostly! This Hu Hai is Yunqi.
"Call sir, don't be rude!" Qin Shi Huang looked displeased.
"Hello sir!" In Yunqi's previous life, Hu Hai bowed to Gu Yue without a temper, and then knelt down beside him, staring straight at him, his face full of curiosity, "Sir is really not confused?"
Regarding the question of his age, not only Li Sihuhai wants to know, but I am afraid that even Qin Shi Huang is also very concerned. Gu Yue replied very mysteriously: "Yes and no." β
"What do you mean, sir?" Hu Hai grabbed his head, puzzled.
"If you count according to your birthday, Ganluo is indeed only three years younger than Your Majesty. When Gu Yue said this, his tone changed, "However, Ganluo's bone age has only grown to eighteen. In other words, even after another ten years, Ganro will still be like this. β
"This ...... Isn't it...... Immortal?" Hu Hai whispered, glancing at Qin Shi Huang at the same time.
Gu Yue didn't answer, and an unfathomable smile appeared on his face.
If I don't tell you, I won't tell you!
Li Si would have made a wishful thinking and threw Qin II out so quickly, thinking that he would be out of luck in this way?
"Sir, can you tell Hu Hai the method of immortality?" Yunqi grabbed Gu Yue's arm and shook it.
Gu Yue felt a chill in his heart, and he forcibly resisted the urge to shake his hand, and said with a smile: "Little prince Xiaoxian, I want to find out the way to immortalize and dedicate it to Your Majesty." It's just that the matter of cultivating and immortality cannot be explained in a few words. What's more, Gan Luo is on His Majesty's side, please rest assured that Gan Luo will not hide it. β
Without waiting for Hu Hai to speak, Gu Yue took out a book from his arms and handed it over, "This book is the first part of the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu of the Benjing" written by the family teacher, if the little boy is interested, he can take it back and study it by himself." β
Hu Hai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed the book and hugged it in his arms, as if he was afraid that Gu Yue would regret it. "What about the next part?"
"The next part is naturally on Ganluo, don't be impatient. This book covers a wide range of topics, and I am afraid that I will not be able to study it thoroughly without three or five years. When the little boy mastered the first part, he came to Ganluo to ask for the next part. β
Hu Hai left happily, and Ying Zheng asked casually: "It seems that Gan Luo is quite valued by the old fairy of Guiguzi, and he will actually hand over the book he wrote to you." β
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Gan Luo is the closed disciple of Master Gan Luonai, and he is also the next Guigu Valley Master designated by him. The teacher should not come back from this trip, so he handed over all his books to Ganluo for safekeeping.
I also hope that Your Majesty will keep it secret for Ganluo, if people with ulterior motives in the outside world know about this, not only will the Yunmeng Mountain Ghost Valley Divine Mansion be ransacked, but I am afraid that Ganluo will also be hunted down to death. β
"Now that you have become the lord of the Guigu Valley, why did you go down the mountain and join the WTO? Is it really because of Zhanlu?"
"One is Zhan Lu, and the other is to repay His Majesty's kindness. "Gan Luo can worship the prime minister at the age of twelve, his own intelligence is a big reason, and another point is that Qin Shi Huang can know people well.
"The grace of knowing the encounter?" Ying Zheng sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Why did you leave in the first place?"
"The Marquis of Wenxin couldn't tolerate Ganluo, so he sent someone to rob and kill. When Gan Luo was seriously injured and dying, he broke into Yunmeng Mountain and inadvertently broke the Guigu Formation before being rescued by the teacher. β
"If he can't tolerate you, you won't come to me?"
"Your Majesty at that time...... Can't save Ganluo. How presumptuous this is to say.
ββ¦β¦β
Yingzheng ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and after the crown ceremony was held at the age of twenty-two, he removed Wenxin Hou LΓΌ Buwei from the position of Xiangguo and truly grasped the power.
When Gan Luo was forced to kill by LΓΌ Buwei, Yingzheng, who had no real power, was indeed unable to keep him.
After a long time, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer pursued the details, but sighed: "If you had been by my side, I might not have been so tired in the past few years." β
"Not necessarily, there are not a few talented people in the world who can replace Ganluo. However, the closed disciples of Guiguzi are not capable of being competent. How arrogant this statement is.
Ying Zheng raised his head, and before he could say a few words to suppress him, he caught a glimpse of three arrows with a cold and cold light shooting towards him.
