17. Ying Zheng's birthday
Chapter 17, Ying Zheng's birthday
The first day of the Lunar New Year is a special day. Not only because it was the beginning of the year, but also because it was the birthday of the First Emperor.
King Qin, the first emperor of the ages, even had such a magical birthday, he was born on the first day of the first month of the summer calendar.
The emperor's birthday is celebrated all over the world.
The people were far away from the emperor, so they didn't say anything. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the courtiers came to the Xianyang Palace one after another to offer rare treasures and wish the emperor a happy birthday. The purpose of these courtiers is to win the favor of Yingzheng, and they are not sincere. Ying Zheng didn't feel very satisfied.
The courtiers did not have to go to the morning court on this day. After giving the gifts, they didn't dare to expect Yingzheng to leave them to eat or something. It dispersed early.
Ying Zheng returned to his and Jin Ke's dormitory.
"I'm exhausted!" Ying Zheng said.
Jin Ke teased his beloved black beans and soybeans who had grown from cute puppies to strong big dogs, and said without raising his head: "You are soft in receiving gifts, right?" Don't show off here with another kind of show-off, I'll sue you! Show off being struck by lightning! โ
Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke, who didn't look at him, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. Over the years, Ying Zheng has changed from a small King of Qin to a monarch who rules the world, although the courtiers around him don't say it, but their fear of Ying Zheng has increased more than a little. Don't say that Meng Tian and Li Si, the old ministers who share weal and sorrow with Yingzheng, are the sons of Yingzheng like Fusu Huhai, and their fear of Yingzheng is intensifying day by day.
And the only one who has not changed his attitude towards Yingzheng from beginning to end, I am afraid that Jin Ke is the only one in this world! Ying Zheng has always known that Jin Ke has an inexplicable admiration for himself, which has greatly satisfied Ying Zheng's vanity in the past. And now, Jin Ke still worships Yingzheng, but he does not add fear of him like others. This sincere feeling makes Ying Zheng feel precious. Since ancient times, emperors have been lonely, and how fortunate they are to be in power, and they are always accompanied by a sincere person.
"Jin Ke, it's really a blessing for me to have you by my side!" Ying Zheng felt it.
"Of course!" Jin Ke said happily, "With me by your side, do you see how well my black beans and soybeans grow?" โ
The faint and sad atmosphere that Ying Zheng had brewed by himself was gone, and the idea of moving Jing Ke by his side was gone. This stinky boy is such a bastard, and there is always a way to make himself angry while being happy. How dare you compare me to his dog? How bold! (The author involves: It's not all what you're used to!) ๏ผ
Looking at Ying Zheng, who was so angry that his beard was about to blow up, Jin Ke secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was still expressionless.
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more angry he became, walking around the room, and finally couldn't hold back his words: "Today is my birthday, are you so angry with me?" I see you're really indebted! โ
Jin Ke's biggest skill in the past few years is Shun Mao, and he is also Shun Yingzheng's Mao. As a brilliant flower in the history of Chinese emperors, Ying Zheng was judged by historians not for his merits, but for his โกโก. A tyrannical emperor can easily get angry, not only when dealing with government affairs, but also in all aspects of daily life. Although Yingzheng is a hard-working emperor, the one who spends the longest time with him every day is Jin Ke, the "demon queen of the country" in the mouths of the ministers and the people.
Jin Ke has to stay with Ying Zheng, a powder keg that explodes at one point, every day, if he doesn't practice the ability to smooth his hair, then he still doesn't have to live.
Jin Ke used his own trick to smooth the hair, reluctantly gave up his cute black beans and soybeans, and said, "Don't be angry!" Of course I know it's your birthday! I've got a gift for you! โ
Although Jin Ke didn't say anything nice, Yingzheng has been used to being so smooth by Jin Ke in the past few years, so he was so discouraged, and asked with anticipation in his eyes: "What did you prepare for me?" โ
Jin Ke said: "Come with me!" โ
Ying Zheng followed Jin Ke away.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it snowed in Xianyang City. Ying Zheng has always liked pure white snow and didn't let people sweep the snow. In the huge Xianyang Palace, although there are many palace concubines and maidservants. But because of Jin Ke's "special favorite", the three thousand beauties in the harem are very peaceful, and few of them come out.
There are no footprints on the snow in many places in Xianyang Palace, and it looks beautiful and calm.
"What are you going to take me to see?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Shh~~~~~h Jin Ke said softly, "Such a beautiful snow, let's be quiet, don't make a noise about it!" โ
Jin Ke took Ying Zheng for a walk in the snow-covered Xianyang Palace.
"How's that, my gift to you! Such a big, such beautiful Xianyang Palace is yours, are you happy? Jin Ke looked at Jin Ke with some expectation.
Although there was a feeling of being deceived, looking at Jin Ke's rare look, Ying Zheng still nodded and said, "I like it very much!" โ
"Do you like it?" Jin Ke frowned and said, "It turns out that you are so unpursued!" So easy to be satisfied? โ
Ying Zheng: What should I do if I want to cut off this person's head?
"Poof~~~~~~~!" Looking at Ying Zheng's angry but unrefutable face with a very bad face, Jin Ke suddenly laughed, "Why are you so easy to deceive?" Follow me! โ
Ying Zheng once again resigned himself to following Jin Ke's steps. If Yingzheng has been to modern times, then he will definitely say: "The little bastard who is spoiled by himself will be spoiled even if he kneels!" "It's a pity that Yingzheng's stupid mother hasn't been there, so she can only chirp and walk in the snow once.
The place where Jin Ke took Yingzheng was the arsenal of Xianyang Palace. Since Yingzheng won the world, he has collected all the weapons in the world. There are a lot of metals piled up in Xianyang Palace, especially ironware.
In the arsenal, Jin Ke found a box that looked like a sword box.
"Open it and take a look!" Jin Ke put the sword box in Ying Zheng's hand.
Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke and opened the box.
The moment the sword box was opened, although it was not as exaggerated as a flash of bright light, the cold light still appeared at a glance.
Inside the sword case was a sword, a sword that looked very sharp. Not only that, but the sword body is also engraved with the simple words "The First Emperor of the First Emperor of the Ages". These words that seem to be lacking in pen and drawing are very ugly, Yingzheng has seen them. Only Jin Ke would write this kind of character.
"This is the sword you forged?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course!" Jin Ke said, "Although the words are a little ugly, they are absolutely easy to use!" Jin Ke dared to pack tickets. This sword is not an ordinary sword, this is the only steel sword that Jin Ke can borrow from his high school science knowledge and cast it according to the ratio of iron to carbon in his memory from 0.02% to 2.06%. Chemistry books are so simple that iron can be melted and cast into steel with just a few to a few. But Jin Ke did it countless times before he could get the steel in the real sense. Jin Ke felt that this was a project that was even more difficult than learning how to forge a sword. No matter how difficult quenching is, there is a pattern to be found. But steelmaking is a largely impossible thing at a time like this. Fortunately, with Jin Ke's insistence, he did it.
"Why did you give me a sword?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course I'm going to give you a sword!" Jin Ke said as a matter of course, "You are already the ruler of the world, so naturally you need a sword worthy of you!" Bronze swords are too heavy, and ordinary iron swords are particularly prone to rust. Don't worry, this sword I gave you is definitely not easy to rust. โ
In fact, the reason why Jin Ke cast the sword was because two thousand years later, Hubei, China, unearthed the thousand-year-old stainless Yue King Goujian sword. Even King Goujian of Yue has a sword that does not rust, so Yingzheng should also have one. But it is difficult for Jin Ke to cast the bronze sword into stainless steel, and Ou Yezi's sword-casting master feels legendary. Jin Ke had no way to surpass the legend, so he had to use a little caution to forge a sword similar to "stainless steel". His first emperor should have the best of everything.
"Reign in the world! Hahaha, I love this sword! Ying Zheng said, taking the sword out of the sword case. Swing the sword, and the sword aura is like a rainbow.
Jin Ke looked at the mighty Ying Zheng and said, "It's good if you like it!" โ
"When did you learn to forge a sword?" Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something, "I don't remember that you can still forge a sword!" โ
"Originally, I didn't have mastered the high-end and high-grade profound knowledge of sword casting!" Jin Ke said, "But I can't stand Jin Ke wanting to give you a sincere gift, Jin Ke will learn!" How about it, not impressed? โ
Jin Ke just made a joke casually, of course, this gift is indeed very attentive. But what he didn't expect was that Ying Zheng was actually moved and said to Jin Ke very solemnly: "Jin Ke, don't worry." You know what you want about me, and I will never take a fancy to the women they offered! โ
Ying Zheng's words made Jin Ke very unhappy: "Why do people offer you beautiful women?" Are they when I am dead? Jin Ke couldn't understand it, knowing that Ying Zheng hadn't looked for anyone else over the years, those people still didn't give up. One by two, they sent their daughters over to stay in the cold palace. Figure what? Figure what!
Ying Zheng rarely saw Jin Ke jealous of himself, and felt a little funny in his heart, so he said: "They have to send it, and I can't help it, right?" I don't like them anyway! โ
"Lao Tzu is also a man! There is no cat in this world that does not steal! Jin Ke said viciously.
"You still want to steal? Kindness? Ying Zheng suddenly turned against the guest and began to question Jin Ke.
I'm a, aren't you being questioned by me? Why did you start questioning me? Are you still good at cooking with a vague theme?
But who is Jin Ke? He has at least understood the world for 2,000 years more than Ying Zheng!
"You don't trust me? So what's the point of me living? Jin Ke's tears flowed, "I might as well die!" โ
Although he knew that Jin Ke was pretending, Ying Zheng still had a headache: "I'm kidding you." Don't pretend! โ
"Humph!" Jin Ke snorted and put away his crocodile tears.
Ying Zheng is very helpless, how did he get this skill?
