Chapter 106: Gambling
Everyone followed Ying Zheng to observe the terracotta warrior array for a while, and then came to the front of several coffins.
Lu Buwei looked at it and said, "This really doesn't look like the coffin of the Martial King, it looks a little ordinary, but since it's empty, why is it placed here?" Where is King Wu of Zhou buried? β
"It is not clear where King Wu of Zhou is buried, there is a dark room inside the wall, and the widow is the few strange treasures found there, but I don't know how many such secret rooms there are." Ying Zheng said.
LΓΌ Buwei looked around and found nothing special, so he said, "The king should take his ministers to the secret room to have a look." β
"Okay." Ying Zheng came to the bottom of the mountain wall, turned around and used his afterglow to determine the position, which was the straight line corresponding to the coffin in the center.
Taking out the black iron snail again, Ying Zheng unscrewed the screw cover on the stone wall and opened the stone door of the secret room.
Jing Fan and Tian Yi gathered around the stone gate, carefully looking at the principle of the stone door opening. But except for the upper and lower edges, the internal composition is basically invisible, and if you want to study it, it seems that you can only tear down the wall.
Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei walked into the secret room, except for a high platform in the middle, the surroundings were empty.
Probably due to habit, Jing Fan and Tian Yi entered the door and looked carefully along the mountain wall, as if they were looking for another door to other places.
"Your Majesty, what else have you found besides this secret room?" Seemingly inspired by Jing Fan, Lu Buwei looked at the deepest wall and asked.
"I didn't find anything else, and maybe, maybe I didn't look carefully enough." Ying Zheng said.
LΓΌ Buwei asked, "Do you need to send a sergeant to search for it here?" β
Ying Zheng knew that Lu Buwei would not give up if he did not search thoroughly, so he said: "Okay, but don't damage anything, don't move your location, just look for a mechanism similar to the stone gate." β
"Yes, Your Majesty." LΓΌ Buwei arched his hand.
"If the widow also builds such a royal tomb, I don't know what the middle father wants?" Ying Zheng said.
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "It is natural for the king to build a unique royal tomb, but we currently know very little about this royal tomb, and the location of this site is also quite exquisite, so we have to think about it in the long run." β
"This time I went to Lishan to find the divine soldier, presumably it must be a treasure of feng shui, it is better to build the royal tomb there, as for the skill of building this tomb, after the widow gets married, he will send the Jing family class to investigate and see if there will be any findings." Ying Zheng said.
"The ministers obey the king's commands." LΓΌ Buwei arched his hand.
Suddenly, the torches in everyone's hands shook at the same time, and they danced together as if they had made an appointment.
Everyone looked at each other and became inexplicably nervous.
Gradually, the blue flame became lighter and lighter, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to white.
Click...... Cha......
Although the movement was not very loud, everyone heard it, and the sound came from inside the coffin on the far right.
Everyone unconsciously crowded at the door of the secret room, staring at the coffin.
"No...... Let's cheat the corpse. Meng Yi muttered.
"Those are empty coffins, what kind of corpses can be scammed." Meng Tian said angrily.
"Is it under the coffin? Bodies buried in the ground? Wang Ben said with a trembling voice.
After he said this, everyone lost confidence in their hearts, and Yingzheng, who had been here many times, was also hairy in his heart.
Time passed in a tense air, and everyone stopped talking, observing the changes around them.
Slowly, the flames on the torches stopped beating and the color gradually returned to blue.
Meng Tian shook the torch in his hand a few times up and down, left and right, and the flame was still blue.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask Li Si: "Sir, what's the situation." β
Li Si said with a relaxed face: "According to Weichen, it should be that there are too many people coming in this time, and the air is getting thinner and thinner, so the flame changes color in the beating, and the sound just now should be automatically triggered by the mechanism that controls the air, and the air is brought in from the outside." β
Li Si's explanation is reasonable, and his expression is determined, which has to be believed.
"Yes
It can be so. Tian Yi said, who understands some tomb truths.
"If that's the case, let's go out, there's nothing to see here, and let the sergeants inquire about the rest." Meng Wu was worried about Yingzheng's safety, and said with his hand.
"Okay, let's get out." Ying Zheng also felt that there was no need to stay any longer.
Leaving the secret room, everyone walked through the terracotta array and returned the same way.
After exiting the Tomb of King Wu, Ying Zhengcai grabbed Li Si and asked quietly: "Sir, the vision just now is really as you said?" β
"Wechen isn't entirely sure, but nine times out of ten." Lees said.
"I see." Ying Zheng said, "The widow still thinks that you are making an excuse to appease them. β
"It's magical." Li Si sighed, "This nearly 1,000-year-old tomb can still be automatically adjusted according to internal changes. β
Ying Zheng also sighed: "It is not easy to build such a mausoleum." β
"There will be a way." Lees said.
Everyone returned to Xianyang City and went to be busy with the wedding of King Qin.
After solving LΓΌ Buwei's doubts and obtaining the allocation of the treasury in a logical manner, Yingzheng solved a big problem.
In the next few days, Ying Zheng basically sorted out and memorized the "Book of Changes" in the study, although it was a little difficult, but it had to be done, which was the premise of solving many problems.
In his spare time, Ying Zheng will also go to the princesses of various countries to chat for a while, shush the cold and ask for warmth is indispensable, although he likes the two princesses Nansu and Hu Yu the most, but other princesses can not be ignored, otherwise it is easy to cause the jealousy of these princesses, and even affect the diplomatic relations of several countries.
The princess of Qi is named Lan Ting, dignified and beautiful, gentle and elegant. Ying Zheng is also quite fond of it.
As for the diplomatic relations of Qi State, Ying Zheng also attaches more importance to it, because distant friendship and close attack is a strategy that has been set, Qi State is the farthest away from Qin State, and the national strength is very strong, so the relationship must be handled well.
In the big tent of Qi State, Ying Zheng looked at Princess Lan Ting warmly, took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Give it to you, see if you like it." β
"Thank you, the king." Princess Lan Ting bowed and gently opened the brocade box.
Inside is a delicate jade hairpin, crystal clear, and refined workmanship.
Women are naturally allergic to gold and jade, and the princess of a country is no exception, let alone a gift from her future husband.
"It's beautiful!" Princess Lan Ting said happily.
"Let the widow put it on for you." Ying Zheng took the jade hairpin, detoured behind Princess Lan Ting, and put the jade hairpin on her bun.
"Thank you, the king." Princess Lan Ting's voice trembled a little, her face was ruddy to the root of her ears, and she lowered her head shyly.
"What are you polite to the widow?" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How is it, in this barracks, can you live in the habit?" β
"Shura Warrior God"
"It's been a few months, and I'm used to it." Princess Lan Ting said.
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "It's all bad for widows, if you are wronged, if you don't want to build this ancient Cheng Palace, the widows will not let you live in the barracks." β
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, Lan Ting has no grievances, she can live in a new dormitory, so what's the harm if she lives in the military camp for the time being." Princess Lan Ting said.
"Having said that, but after all, the widow is slacking, if you have any needs, just open your mouth, the widow has received the news, and the dowry sent to the Qi country has been delivered, and the envoys here, the widow will also reward more." Ying Zheng had a guilty expression.
"Lan Ting went up on behalf of her brother Xie Wang." Princess Lan Ting said.
Princess Lan Ting is not the direct bloodline of the Qi royal family, and the brother she is talking about is her cousin Tian Jian, the king of Qigong.
"In a few days, it will be our big wedding day, and speaking of which, the widow really can't wait." Ying Zheng laughed.
"With Nansu and Hu Yu's two sisters, how can the king still think of Lan Ting." Princess Lan Ting said coquettishly.
"Where, if I don't love all of you, how can a widow marry so many people at once. The widow has thought about it, and in the future, you will be equal in status regardless of priority. Ying Zheng said.
"The king also said that, if it is a sister and Mr. in the future
Childe, the status is different. Princess Lan Ting spoke sharply.
Things spread so fast?
Ying Zheng looked embarrassed, but he couldn't argue with it.
At this moment, Zhao Gao said outside the door: "Your Majesty, please see Changpingjun." β
Ying Zheng was begging for no excuse to leave, so he said to Princess Lanting: "The widow will deal with some official business and come to see you another day." β
Ying Zheng walked out of the door, but Princess Lan Ting stomped her foot: "Why is it Chu State again." β
Seeing Yingzheng come out, Changping Jun bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Yan, the envoy of Chu State, came to congratulate the king on his wedding with a state gift, and is now waiting at the post station. β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's coming very fast, pass him to the palace." β
"Do as the king commands." Changping Jun arched his hand.
On the way back to the palace, Yingzheng asked Zhao Gao to pass on LΓΌ Buwei and Li Xin, and he found Li Si.
The Great Hall.
Because the state of Chu sent Xiang Yan, who was highly valued by the king of Chu, the forces related to the Chu family in the Qin state all came.
After Zhao Gao announced his entry, a person walked in from outside the palace gate, dressed in military attache attire, tall, square face, solemn eyes and thick eyebrows, and at first glance he was a righteous and loyal person.
"Foreign minister Xiang Yan, on the order of the King of Chu, brings gifts to congratulate the King of Qin on his wedding." The words were sonorous and powerful, and Xiang Yan bowed and bowed.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Lord Xiang is exempt." β
"Thank you, the king." Xiang Yan got up and said.
"The widow's wedding is imminent, and I am really happy to have General Xiang come to congratulate him." Ying Zheng said.
"The king said that it is Xiang Yan's blessing to be entrusted by the king of Chu to envoy to Daqin." Xiang Yan said.
The two politely exchanged a few more official words, and Yingzheng turned to the topic: "This time, there are more princesses from all countries that the widow marries, but the widow only loves Nansu, so he wants to register Nansu as a lover to show his affection for Nansu and his friendship with Chu." β
After saying this, Ying Zheng thought of the conversation with Lan Ting just now, and couldn't help but feel empty in his heart.
"Being able to win the love of King Qin is the luck of Princess Nansu and the luck of Da Chu." Xiang Yan arched his hand and said, "May the two countries of Qin and Chu be friendly for generations and share Ningri." β
Harmony, the most important thing is this kind of political purpose.
"Good!" Ying Zheng smiled, "Zhao Gao, reward." β
"King Xie Qin." Xiang Yan said.
"In addition, the widow still has something to discuss with General Xiang, please go to the inner hall although the widow." Ying Zheng made a gesture of please.
"King Qin, please." Xiang Yan returned the gift.
When he came to the inner hall, Ying Zheng invited Xiang Yan to sit down, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
"I don't know what King Qin is talking about?" Xiang Yan has always been straightforward and fast-talking.
Ying Zheng took a sip of tea, and then said: "I have heard that General Xiang is brave and thoughtful, and the matter mentioned by the widow is related to the remnants of the Chu State. β
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Xiang Yan said.
Changping Jun had already made a general statement in his letter to Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yan felt that this matter was not so simple so he proposed to the King of Chu to take this opportunity to envoy to Qin, and how could he not know what Ying Zheng was talking about.
Ying Zheng understood that Xiang Yan wanted the Qin side to speak first, so he pointed at Li Xin and said: "This is Li Xin, the Taishou of Yingcheng, whose territory is now rampant with bandits, and the widows want to send troops to recruit and suppress, but they are afraid that the friendship between the two countries will be ruined, so I ask General Xiang to make a decision." β
"Li Taishou, please tell General Xiang about the situation in Yingcheng." Lu Buwei said.
Li Xin bowed his hand, and then described the matter of the Yingcheng mountain bandits in detail and analyzed it.
After Li Xin finished speaking, Xiang Yan frowned slightly, and his black beard was in his hand, as if he was thinking about the stakes.
Changping Jun said: "The difficulty in this matter lies in the fact that the descendants of the remnants of the former Chu Army were born in the Qin Realm and made chaos in the Qin Realm, and the Great Qin is not, no matter what. β
Xiang Yan smiled and said: "This matter is easy to do, Yingcheng is the former capital of the Chu State, if the King of Qin can return Yingcheng to the Chu State, then all the problems will be solved." β
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and the others all frowned.
"General Xiang's joke is a bit big." Lu Buwei said in a cold tone.
