Chapter 23: The Masters of the World
"Lu Xiangguo, it's your turn!" Qin Wang Yingzheng looked at Lu Buwei, who was there with the old god, and avoided muttering in his heart: He is not afraid of accidents? Or did you already know something?
"The old minister obeys!" Lu Buwei also calmly dropped a drop of blood in the jade bowl on the right, completing the task of dripping blood.
At this time, I saw that the two drops of blood in the jade bowl on the right did not show the slightest sign of compatibility in any case, but instead clearly occupied one side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to say?" King Yingzheng of Qin looked at his ministers, and his eyes flashed.
"The ministers are convinced, and there is no objection!" The ministers, led by the ministers of the clan, responded with a bang.
A political crisis in Daqin immediately disappeared into invisibility, but some people were not willing to get such a result, and the battle would definitely be more fierce in the future.
In the study room of the apse of the palace, a hearty and comfortable laugh came.
"Haha...... Meng Yi, you handled this matter very well. King Yingzheng of Qin swept away the previous restlessness and returned to a calm state again, "Sure enough, as your grandfather said, among the children of the Meng family, Meng Tian is good at leading the army to fight, and Meng Yi is good at planning and governing the government. β
"Thank you for the king's appreciation, Weichen is ashamed." Meng Yi naturally wanted to be humble.
"But how does it work?" King Yingzheng of Qin asked curiously.
"Bile alum dissolves in water, even if it is biological father and son, it is not compatible with blood." Meng Yi had already prepared and said calmly.
"I see." Qin Wang Yingzheng changed his words and asked casually, "But why is Lu Buwei not worried about accidents, did you say hello beforehand?" β
Meng Yi understood that King Qin was already suspicious, and suspected that he and LΓΌ Buwei were secretly colluding.
"Your Majesty, why do you say this? The minister has been staying with the king from morning to night, how can he have time to inform Lu Xiangguo. Meng Yi replied cautiously, "But presumably Lu Xiangguo has long known that the king is an orthodox Ying clan bloodline, so he is not worried about accidents." β
"Of course, the widow is the orthodox clan bloodline surnamed Ying, so don't mention it again in the future at this time." Of course, King Yingzheng of Qin didn't want anyone to doubt his bloodline, nodded with satisfaction, and then said coldly, "It's just that the rumor-monger should be the heir of the other princes, among which Chang'an Jun Chengjiao is the most suspicious." But there is no evidence in the hands of the widow, so what can I do? β
"The king, the black-clothed guard and the Tianji Pavilion have found the place where the rumors started, and only a few beggar children who wandered from other places were found. But I didn't know what to ask three questions, and I didn't get anything by trying all kinds of means, so the clue was interrupted. Meng Yi could only report it truthfully and ask for punishment for the crime of disadvantage.
"Forget it, the rumors stop at the wise. The enemy has also made some preparations, how can you easily get the handle? Although King Yingzheng of Qin had some regrets, but because he was in a good mood today, he would no longer delve into this matter, "By the way, over there in Tianji Pavilion, you have to pay close attention to monitoring, if they dare to break the contract, they will act immediately, and never let them fall to other forces!" β
"Wechen obeys! If there are other things, Weichen will retire! Meng Yi also wanted to take the opportunity to retire.
"Go, the widow is sleepy." King Qin Yingzheng yawned for a long time, and it seemed that he would have a good dream tonight.
Meng Yi had just returned to the gate of the Mengfu Mansion and bumped into a person head-on, but he didn't expect it to be the girl Dong Rou.
"Meng Yi, you leave your entourage behind and come with me alone." Dong Rou is as arrogant and domineering as ever, and has nothing to do with "knowing how to be gentle".
"Miss Dong, why are you so nervous?" Meng Yi couldn't help but quip.
"My grandfather wants to see you, do you dare not go?" Dong Rou was too lazy to waste time with the flamboyant Meng Yi, so she grabbed Meng Yi's small body and rode away on a fast horse.
Taking advantage of the city gate not closed, a pair of horses stepped out of Xianyang City at sunset, galloped all the way to the east for a day and a night, passed through several complex valleys, and came to the foot of a big mountain.
"Got to the place? Where is this? It's time to tell me. Meng Yi was bumped along the way, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Lishan! When you come to this place, you will call the heavens and the earth unspiritual. Dong Rou looked at Meng Yi nervously.
As soon as the words landed, a group of black-clothed people flashed around. The clothes of these people are not simply black, but mixed with flowers inside and out, just like the camouflage uniforms of later generations.
"Miss, the eyeliner in the back has been leveled." A man in black who looked like a leader said in a muffled voice.
"Got it, don't kill it as a last resort! I took Meng Yi to see my grandfather. Dong Rou pulled Meng Yi regardless of it, and rushed to the top of the mountain.
Lishan is a vein of the Qinling Mountains, whenever the sun sets, Lishan is reflected in the golden sunset, the scenery is particularly beautiful, and it has the reputation of "Lishan Evening Shine". The beacon tower on the first peak of Lishan Mountain. In history, the allusion of "the princes of the beacon fire play, laughing and losing the world" happened here. According to legend, King Zhou You, in order to win the praise of his concubine, once raised a beacon fire here to tease the princes. When the dog Rong invaded Lishan, King You ordered to light the beacon fire again, but no one came to save the princes, King You was killed, Bao Xi was taken captive, and the Western Zhou perished.
Meng Yi and Dong Rou ran to the top of the mountain breathlessly. I saw a ruined wall on the top of the mountain, and a few old trees were still swaying in the wind under the moonlight.
"Little guy, don't be nervous, the old man just wants to meet the fifth person in the world who has a seven-trick exquisite heart." An elder with crane hair and a childish face appeared in front of him, and asked slowly, "Xia Qi has to Tu Mountain to build Great Xia, Shang Tang has to Yiyin to build Great Shang, Ji Fa has Jiang Shang to build Great Zhou, and Yingzheng has to Meng Yi to win the world?" β
Meng Yi thought to himself that this was Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, and he really looked like a master outside the world.
"The kid has seen the elders. I heard that the king of Shang's uncle Bigan is also a person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, but he still failed to change the fate of the demise of the Great Shang, which shows that who has the seven-trick exquisite heart is not an inevitable condition for the rise and fall of the country. As for whether the kid has a seven-trick exquisite heart, I don't believe it. Meng Yi replied without humility or arrogance.
"In that case, what do you think is the inevitable condition for the rise and fall of a country?" Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, then asked.
"A virtuous monarch plus a group of loyal ministers and good generals." Meng Yi thought for a moment, but decided to use a decent answer.
This is a pragmatic statement, but who can guarantee that a virtuous monarch will always be virtuous? Just like the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, they were virtuous at the beginning, but in the end they were not mediecre. It's a pity that the opportunity to dominate the world was wasted. β
"There can be sunlight behind every dark cloud, even moonlight, which is better than darkness." The young Meng Yi suddenly remembered a famous saying in later generations, "Who could have predicted this?" But if we do nothing, I'm afraid we will lose even hope for the unification of the world, and no hope is the most terrible! β
"There can be sunshine behind every dark cloud!" Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, stroked his long beard and smiled happily, "The old man likes this sentence, but the old man will not put all his chips on one person. β
"The elder must have a good plan to teach the boy, please give me advice." Meng Yi simply played a cautious eye and kicked the difficult little leather ball back to Dong An, the owner of the Guigu Gate.
"You little doll is clever, the old man thought and practiced a Jiazi for a long time, before he realized a pure and simple truth." Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, didn't mind Meng Yi's careful eyes, waved his sleeves slightly, and said deafeningly, "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and be the lord of the world!" β
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and be the lord of the world!" Meng Yi was taken aback, the subtext of this sentence is "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!" β
"Yes, as for whether the lord of the world is a prince or a general, it doesn't matter." Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, was not shocked to death, and said this shocking remark.
In a trance, Meng Yi suddenly remembered the slogan of Chen Sheng's Wu Guang uprising at the end of Qin: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" β
"Dong Lao is far-sighted, and the kid has been taught." Meng Yi's soul came from later generations, so he naturally knew advanced thoughts, but he never thought that the collision of original ideas would be so strong. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended, and there were really endless trends of thought!
"Hehe, it's a coincidence, the old man recently met another person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, do you know who it is?" Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, bought a pass, like a naughty old naughty boy, and suddenly asked.
"Another person with a seven-trick heart?" Meng Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly a person's name popped up in his mind, "Could it be Zhang Liang, the son of Han Xiang Zhang Ping?" β
"Hey, you know this guy?" Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, was taken aback, because the Guigu Gate was the most well-informed existence, and the Guigu Gate had just determined Zhang Liang's natural destiny.
"I've never seen it, but the kid has also heard that this person has been rumored to be a prodigy since he was a child." Meng Yi knew that he had slipped his mouth, and immediately shirked except for an excuse that he could barely accept.
"Haha, in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, there was a confrontation between Bigan and Jiang Shang, and now Meng Yi and Zhang Liang appear at the same time, it can be seen that all the hits have already been determined!" Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, laughed loudly and floated away.
Only one sentence came from afar, "Tell Yingzheng that the old man will give him another chance, don't live up to the expectations of the world!" β
There are many valleys under Lishan Mountain, the beautiful peaks are listed, all kinds of things are displayed, the strange and strange stones, the blue water flows through it, the waterfall color pool, the fate is natural, the water moves the stone to change between, and the colors are intertwined in the sun, so that people do not get tired of looking at it. Anyone who sits by one of these pools, listens to the pleasant sound of the waterfall flowing into the clear pool, and looks at the green bamboo and green trees on the shore, the floating waves, the water is delicate and colorful, full of the vitality and thriving image of early spring, will not help but feel relaxed and happy.
Meng Yi was not in a hurry to return to Xianyang, but sat cross-legged at the foot of Li Mountain.
"If history does not change, Yingzheng will definitely be able to complete the great cause of unifying the world, but the Qin Dynasty will die after all, but it will only be more than ten years of life, what is the benefit to the people of the world?" Meng Yi's thoughts are very contradictory at the moment, if he is trying to change history like slaying dragons, then how should he deal with himself?
