Chapter 57: Jing Liang resigns
Out of the Mongolian Mansion, Ying Zheng and Li Si walked towards the pottery kiln factory outside the city.
Ying Zheng didn't know why he was so busy, but he enjoyed it.
When I entered the pottery kiln factory, I saw that Jing Liang was also here, talking to Jing Fan.
Seeing Yingzheng coming, everyone bowed down to salute.
"Brother Jing, I haven't seen you for a few days, what have you been busy with lately." Ying Zheng asked.
Jing Liang arched his hand and said: "I'm not busy with anything, it's just that the king's recent handling can't help much." ”
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Then this imitation of pottery figurines, can Brother Jing be able to help?" ”
Without waiting for Jing Liang to answer, Jing Fan said, "Back to the king, Brother Jing Liang, he has helped a lot." ”
"Oh." Ying Zheng's tone was calm, not surprised at all.
Unexpectedly, if he hadn't come over to help, Jing Liang wouldn't have appeared here.
"It's just that the proportion of some raw materials has been adjusted, Brother Jingfan doesn't have to worry about it." Jing Liang said with a smile.
"It's not difficult to operate, but it takes a lot of time if we try it little by little." Jing Fan said.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart tightened, what he lacked most now was really time.
"Brother Jing, you already know how to imitate this terracotta figurine." Ying Zheng looked at Jing Liang and then at Li Si.
Li Si looked away like a nobody, obviously a little weak-hearted.
Jing Liang also looked at Li Si and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that the two of us don't want to help the king, but that the master respects him and doesn't allow the two of us to help the king from the beginning." ”
Those who practice martial arts are obviously more real than those who read.
"Then why do you want to help now?" Ying Zheng seems to be a little difficult, but in fact, he just asks casually.
"Because there's something else to do." Jing Liang walked up to Ying Zheng and said in a low voice, "After helping the king enter the second layer of the Martial Prince's Mausoleum, he will leave below." ”
"Leave?" Ying Zheng had some bad premonitions and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"It's unknown where it's going." Jing Liang said, "But it should at least leave the Qin State." ”
"Leaving the Qin State?" Ying Zheng was surprised, "Don't Brother Jing want to stay with the widow?" ”
"It's not that Jing Liang doesn't want to, it's really the master's order that can't be violated." Jing Liang sighed.
"Can you tell the widow what the reason is?" Ying Zheng asked.
Jing Liang looked at Jing Fan behind him, and then said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, please wait a minute." ”
Jing Liang turned around, said a few more words to Jing Fan, and then returned to Yingzheng's side and said, "Your Majesty, let's find a place where no one is talking." ”
Ying Zheng, Jing Liang, and Li Si came to an empty venue.
"Tell the widow what the hell is going on." Ying Zheng stopped, looked at Jing Liang and said.
"The specific reason, I can't tell the king yet." Jing Liang said, "At present, I can only say that it is related to the Jiuding incident. ”
"Something to do with Jiuding?" Ying Zheng thought of the rest of the Tianmu, but he wasn't sure if it had anything to do with what Jing Liang was going to do.
"And it has something to do with the king." Jing Liang nodded and said, "It's for the king to better use Jiuding in the future." That's all I can say about below. ”
Looks like I can't ask anything.
"How long are you going to go?" Ying Zheng is no longer entangled in the reason for Jing Liang's departure, since it is related to Jiuding, of course it will focus on the overall situation.
"I can't say." Jing Liang said, "Even if you finish your work, you won't be able to return to Qin for a long time." ”
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked puzzled.
"This is a long-term task, please don't ask the king more, when you see the master in the future, the king will know." Jing Liang's expression was a little helpless.
"You just said that after going to the second floor of the Zhou Wang's Mausoleum with the widow, you will set off immediately?" Ying Zheng asked.
Jing Liang nodded: "The plan is like this, and the rest will be completed by Li Si to help the king." ”
Ying Zheng's heart is not very comfortable, although he knows that Jing Liang's identity is special, but if Jing Liang is not around, he will lose a lot of help.
"If Brother Jing has something that must be done, the widow can't force him to stay." Ying Zheng calmed down and said, "What Brother Jing wants, the widow will give it to you." ”
Jing Liang shook his head and said, "I don't lack anything below, but I want to give the king something." ”
"Giving something to a widow?" Ying Zheng asked, "What is it?" ”
"I heard Li Si say that last time, because of the blood of the relatives, the red pill given to the king by the master used a lot." Jing Liang said, "There are still a lot of them here, so let's give them all to the king." ”
Jing Liang thought about Ying Zheng everywhere, and Ying Zheng suddenly felt a sense of gratitude and reluctance in his heart.
"Then thank you Brother Jing." Ying Zheng said after a moment.
"Your Majesty, between us, do we still want to talk about thanks?" Jing Liang said.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Ying Zheng smiled reluctantly.
Jing Liang also smiled slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else that Jing Liang needs to help the king accomplish?" ”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said: "This time the army goes out, it will not be a problem to defeat the rebels, but the widow is worried that Cheng Huan and Fan Yuzhi will take advantage of the chaos to escape. If these two escape, can Brother Jing find a way to capture the two of them back? ”
Before Jing Liang could speak, Li Si said beside him: "Your Majesty, if these two people flee, Weichen suggests that they should not be arrested and returned to Qin. ”
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked puzzled, "Why?" ”
"If he is arrested, it will only be a vent of the king's own personal anger." "And banishing him to another country is a good excuse to go to war against another country." When the king calms the world in the future, he must not directly be the enemy of the whole world, but must be defeated individually, so he should be famous so that several countries will not unite together to resist Qin. ”
Ying Zheng lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment.
Li Si is right, if he is unknown, then he will inevitably expose his ambition to swallow the world, so that the six countries, and even the entire world, will inevitably unite to fight against Qin, and in that case, even if Qin wins the final victory, it will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price.
"What about letting one go and bringing back one?" Ying Zheng raised his head and asked.
"The king wants to let Fan Yuqi go and bring Cheng Huan back, right?" Li Si asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The culprit of the whole thing is Fan Yuzhi, no matter where he flees, as long as the widow sends troops to arrest him, it will be reasonable, and then he can harbor the name of the fugitive from the Qin State, and ask this national master for his guilt, I think that other countries will not necessarily help." ”
"After all, Cheng Huan is a descendant of the royal family, no matter what the king does with it, it is better than banishing him." Li Si added, "What's more, if Cheng Huan is in another country, she will inevitably be used by others and become a hidden danger to the king." ”
"Then let's decide so, exile Fan Yuzhi, and arrest Cheng Huan back to Xianyang." Ying Zheng said very seriously.
"The army doesn't know about this." Jing Liang said, "Then I will do it for you, I will take Cheng Huan and hand it over to General Wang Qian." ”
Ying Zheng looked at Jing Liang reluctantly and asked, "After this matter is done, won't you go back to Xianyang?" ”
Jing Liang arched his hand and said, "I shouldn't be coming back for the time being." Moreover, it may also change its name in the next place. ”
"Still want to change your name?" Ying Zheng asked, "Change to what?" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, so tell the king before I leave." Jing Liang said.
Li Si saw Yingzheng's reluctance and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Liang does have important things to do, and Li Si will always be by the king's side until the end of his life." ”
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved.
"Your Majesty, let's discuss with the craftsmen the imitation of the terracotta figurines." Jing Liang changed the subject.
Ying Zheng nodded, and the three of them returned to the place where the craftsmen were.
Jing Fan is leading the craftsmen to sort out the raw materials used to make the blanks.
Seeing that the three of them had returned, all the craftsmen put down their things and gathered together.
"Is there anything missing besides the outer coat?" Ying Zheng asked Jing Fan.
"Back to the king, after the Jingliang brothers came to help yesterday, the blanks made and the samples fired are basically close to the materials of those terracotta warriors." Jing Fan said.
"So, you just need to make it look like a terracotta warrior?" Ying Zheng asked.
"In terms of the tools of the current kiln factory, they can only be made into several pieces and then assembled." Jing Fan said.
Ying Zheng looked around the pottery factory, turned around and said to Li Si: "Sir, the pottery that the widow needs to make in the future is not just one or two imitations. ”
Li Si nodded and said, "It's just that the number of terracotta warriors that need to be imitated is not a few." ”
Ying Zheng said: "This kiln factory is indeed a little simple, and the utensils are not complete, so it is expected that it will be labor-intensive and time-consuming to make pottery figurines." The widow allocated some money and silver, and asked Zhao Gao to tidy up the kiln factory and add more utensils. ”
"That's the best." Lees said.
Jing Fan and the others all showed joy.
"What should I do with the outer layer of paint?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si walked up to Ying Zheng and whispered: "According to the master's confession, in the tomb of King Wu, there are paint samples that imitate the elegance of terracotta figurines, as well as the method of production. And at the moment, the king only needs to make terracotta warriors, and those paints also need to be imitated. ”
Ying Zheng also asked in a low voice: "In other words, if the paint is in the second layer, the widow will have to imitate those paints like imitating these terracotta warriors before he can enter the third layer?" ”
"That's what you want." "But that layer may not just be paint. ”
Ying Zheng imagined the appearance of the paint in his mind, but he seemed to suddenly remember something: "Sir, these paints are the same as those painted on the surface of Jiuding?" ”
Li Si shook his head and said, "This Weichen doesn't know the details, but it seems that the paint used by Jiuding will be more complex and higher." ”
Ying Zheng nodded, and then came to Jing Fan and the craftsmen's side, and said: "The widow will renovate this kiln factory, and then add some pottery utensils, what you need, you can write it out, and the widow will bring it back and let people buy it." ”
"Thank you, the king." Jing Fan said, "In this way, it is much more convenient for us to do our work." ”
The craftsmen were all in high spirits, and some had even set out to find pen and ink.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "The widow promised you before that he would take your wife and children to Xianyang, and now, it's time to cash in." ”
The craftsmen could hardly hide their excitement, and happily whispered to the neighbors.
"Jing Fan, who else is in your family?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Back to the king." Jing Fan replied, "There is also an old mother in the villain's family, who is taken care of by my wife Yuan at home, and a son, named Jingde, who should be eight years old this year. ”
At the mention of his family, Jing Fan's face suddenly showed a deep sense of longing.
"Okay, write down everyone's family members and detailed addresses." Ying Zheng said, "Then repair a book, and the widow will immediately send someone to bring your family here." ”
The craftsmen were so happy that they slipped away to find pen and ink.
"Jing Fan, the widow wants a complete imitation of the terracotta figurine, how long will it take to see it?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Jing Fan looked at the firm eyes of the craftsmen.
"Tomorrow afternoon." The craftsmen replied in unison.
"Good!" Ying Zheng raised his voice, "At noon tomorrow, the widow will come to inspect the goods." ”
This kind of motivation method really works.
