Chapter 275: Hang up your boots in advance
Ji Fa grabbed Ying Zheng's hand, and then pressed Ying Zheng's thumb to the bulge on the body he had just touched.
The feeling of warmth came, but Ying Zheng did not withdraw his hand, but pushed forward with more force.
There was an itchy feeling in his fingers, and Ying Zheng felt as if his thumb was sucked by his body, and this feeling had before, that is, before entering the fourth layer of the Martial King Mausoleum, he used his fingerprint to open the door.
Could it be that this Jiuding also has the function of identifying fingerprints?
Before he could think about it, he heard Ji Fa say beside him, "Okay, the recognition of the Lord is complete, and you can also turn this Dading on and off by your own will in the future."
The burning and itching sensations disappeared, and Ji Fa let go of Yingzheng's hand.
Ying Zheng withdrew his arm and looked at the thumb carefully, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
Ji Fa greeted, took Yingzheng around the back of this big ding, and then pointed to a pit on Ding's body, and said, "This is the mechanism that restores it, you put the finger just now."
Ying Zheng didn't hesitate and put the thumb up.
On the surface of the big ding, the pale red brilliance gradually disappeared, and the tripod lugs above also fell back to their original places, tightly sealed, as if they had never moved.
Needless to say, the belly inside has also been restored to its original appearance.
In the next time, Ji Fa took Yingzheng a tripod and a tripod to operate.
Half an hour later, every Dading confirmed the identity of Ying Zheng, that is to say, Ying Zheng and Ji Fa are their common masters.
As long as Ying Zheng wants to, Jiuding can be opened anytime and anywhere in the future.
Of course, even if it is opened, he will not be in front of outsiders.
After recognizing the master, Ying Zheng checked each big tripod up and down one by one, making sure that each tripod was restored to its previous state, and then accompanied Ji Fa out of the secret room.
"Senior, from this point of view, that alchemy stone tripod is really a junior tripod." After seeing the magic of Jiuding, Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Each has its own use, in fact, Jiuding can also alchemize, but that would be overkill." Ji Fa said.
"When did the senior teach me alchemy?" Ying Zheng said with a grin.
Ji Fa sighed lightly and said, "You monarch, you have a lot to learn, it seems that the old man is going to arrange a course for you, and you have to arrange what you learn at any time every day."
"Ugh...... It's not impossible." Ying Zheng said, "As long as my seniors are not annoying, I will definitely study by heart."
"Alchemy is different from other skills, and it requires sufficient raw materials." Ji Fa said, "By the way, how are you practicing with that stone tripod, and how many raw materials are left in the fourth layer?"
"There's quite a few left." Ying Zheng scratched the back of his head and said, "I haven't been in the palace for long during this time, but the skill of alchemy is almost practiced."
"Just manipulating the stone tripod can also be regarded as a skill?" Ji Fa said, "When you made the Ding and Dan billets of alchemy by yourself, then you can be regarded as truly mastering the art of alchemy."
"Hey, hey." Ying Zheng smiled, "I want to learn too, but no one taught me before."
"So be it." Ji Fa said, "Tomorrow, the old man will hand over the Dan Fang to you, and while you memorize it, you will order someone to prepare the materials and then the old man will teach you alchemy."
"Great!" Ying Zheng grinned.
"Don't get complacent." Ji Fa said coldly, "It's hard to say if you can get those materials together."
"Why, are those materials scarce?" Ying Zheng asked.
Ji Fa glanced at Yingzheng and said, "Didn't the old man tell you the story that Shennong once built a bridge and tasted a hundred herbs, why don't you remember?"
Ying Zheng: "......"
It turns out that the materials for alchemy are so difficult to get!
However, Ying Zheng is not so worried, after all, in Shennong's era, there was no systematic system of herbal cultivation, and the types of herbal reserves now are much more than those in that era
。
"Take your time in the matter of alchemy, for the next three days, you have to make sufficient preparations, and then we will go to the royal tomb." Ji Fa said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng said
said, "Then I don't know, do you bring Jingfan with you?"
Ji Fa nodded slowly and said, "Take him alone."
Ying Zheng comprehended and said, "Then during this time, please ask your seniors to live in this Sima Mansion."
"Okay, if there is anything, the old man will naturally go to the palace to find you." Ji Fa nodded and said.
"That senior rests earlier, I'll go and tell Sima and his son a few words." Ying Zheng turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Ji Fa stopped Yingzheng, "In the future, you should still call the old man Shizun, it will be more convenient to act in this way."
"yes, okay." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Then, Shizun will rest first, and I will go back to the palace first."
"Go ahead." With that, Ji Fa stepped into the living room.
Coincidentally, Sima and his son took stock of all the goods of the caravan and took a look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng ordered the two of them to serve Ji Fa well, and the father and son naturally did not dare to slack off.
Back in the palace, it was already dark, Yingzheng first went to Huayang Palace to greet Mrs. Huayang, and then returned to his bedroom.
As always, the lady came out to greet her.
Hu Yu, who had a big belly, happily took the reins from Yingzheng's hand, and walked towards the stable with the maple leaf on his head.
The next morning, a familiar figure appeared above the main hall.
Meng Wu is back!
"Hahaha......" Ying Zheng was very happy to see Meng Wu, "Shangqing just rushed back to the court from Longxi?"
Ying Zheng is talking about Longxi, not Liangzhou.
Except for the cronies of the DPRK and China, most people do not know about the affairs of Liangzhou.
Meng Wu stepped forward and arched his hand: "It was late for Weichen to return to Xianyang yesterday, and he learned that Wang Shang had just returned to the palace, so he didn't bother."
"Okay, let's talk about it separately in a moment." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes." Meng Wu bowed and retreated.
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Changping Jun and asked, "Xiangbang has worked hard to deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China, what is the urgency of the temple recently, and it needs to be decided?"
Changping Jun took a step forward and arched his hand: "Back to the king, Zheng Guo sent back a letter, saying that Han Fei only promised to draw a pattern, and then asked Zheng Guo to bring it back to Daqin, and he himself did not want to be there in person."
"Hehe, as expected." Ying Zheng was not surprised by the news, "We guessed that he wouldn't come, but we really said it."
At this time, Li Si stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the problem encountered in building the canal is not difficult to solve, and the key to this matter is whether the king wants to let Han Fei enter Qin and enter politics."
Ying Zheng and Ji Fa had talked about Changping Jun as the prime minister before, and after Ying Zheng thought about it, he did plan to make another arrangement for Changping Jun.
But if the position of Xiangbang becomes vacant, there is no too suitable person to replace it for the time being.
Li Si is no problem, but Ying Zheng doesn't want Li Si to be tied up in state affairs for the time being.
And the other ministers, except for Sima Hong's father and son, are all military generals, which is obviously not suitable.
And Sima and his son, they all perform their own duties, and their own stalls are busy enough, how can they have time to lead the government.
Now by repairing the canal, if Han Fei can enter Qin, then Yingzheng will undoubtedly have a great help in dealing with the government.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "Ting Wei recommended Han Fei to the widow before, so the widow is interested in knowing, is Han Fei really capable?"
Li Si arched his hand and said, "Han Feishi is not a mediocre talent, the king can recruit him to Qin and entrust him with reuse."
One sentence makes Lees's point clear.
Yesterday, Ying Zheng returned to the palace, and chatted with Li Si for a while, and then Li Si went to Sima Mansion to find Ji Fa, presumably, the master and apprentice must have had a thorough long talk, so Li Si's current views and practices may also be Ji Fa's instructions.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Since Ting Wei knows Han Fei this person, and Great Qin is in the process of employing people, then the widow is determined to recruit Han Fei into Qin, what good plan can Zhongqing have?"
"Your Majesty, since this excuse for building a canal doesn't work, then we should find another way." Meng Wu said, "And this reason is more convincing than building a canal."
Sima Hong stepped forward and said, "Since South Korea has signed with us
With the signing of the treaty of trade, and the fact that Korea is on the road through which several countries must pass, it is certain that in the future, Korea's profits will become more and more abundant, and we can use this as an excuse to make an appointment with Xianyang first, and then make plans."
Changping Jun also followed and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's letter also mentioned that King Han ordered Han Fei to make a map, but it was not without conditions. He heard that our crossbows are very domineering, so he wants to exchange the illustrated book for a certain number of crossbows."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked with interest, "How much does he want?"
Changping-jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Whole..."
?」 Ying Zheng was slightly startled.
The ministers were also full of discussions.
Chang Pingjun didn't explain much, but took out a brocade silk from his arms and handed it to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao handed it to Ying Zheng.
This is a letter written by Zheng Guo himself, which really mentions that King Han asked for a flying crossbow.
"Hehe, this is not a decoy." Ying Zheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't seem to be worried about the number.
Li Si arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it is advisable to use a flying crossbow as a condition, but we can't do without conditions, Weichen is willing to go to Korea in person and invite Han Fei to Daqin."
"Hehe, there's no rush in advance." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Let's wait for Zheng Guo to come back and understand the specific situation before making plans."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Si responded.
"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked the ministers.
The courtiers in charge of various affairs talked about the recent situation in recent days.
After Ying Zheng made separate arrangements, he withdrew from the court.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Meng Yi accompanied Meng Wu to Yingzheng's study.
"Shangqing has been working outside for more than half a year, it's hard, sit down." Ying Zheng pulled Meng Wu to sit down.
"The king doesn't have to be polite, isn't it the duty of a courtier to give some strength to the king?" Meng Wu said with a smile.
"Okay, you're welcome." Ying Zheng went straight to the point, "How is it in Liangzhou?"
"Fortunately, before Weichen left, Xu Wan and Chen Li had already sorted out everything, and there didn't seem to be any movement on the Xiongnu side, so they shouldn't have noticed anything." Meng Wu said.
"That's good." Ying Zheng said happily, "In this way, we can mobilize merchants to form a caravan and go to the Western Regions to trade."
"Hmm." Meng Wu nodded and said, "The route to pass all the way back has also been planned, and checkpoints have been set up along the way to fully ensure the safety of the business travelers."
"Well done!" Ying Zheng exclaimed, "General Meng is not in Xianyang during this time, but the widow has a lot to say to you."
"Well, Meng Yi also said that the king has something very important to let Weichen know." Meng Wu said.
"Yes, General Meng sit tight, don't be frightened."
Meng Wu: "......"
Immediately, Ying Zheng told Meng Wu the secrets he had said to his ministers before, as well as the millennium plan for the future.
Even if it is a battle-hardened Mengwu, at first glance, his heart is full of ups and downs, and his scalp is numb.
However, after listening to Ying Zheng's story, Meng Wu didn't think much about it, and said directly: "It's really fortunate that the Meng family can help the king save the people from fire and water, but the Meng family army has been exposed to so many secrets, shouldn't you plan for your future destination?"
As the head of the family, Meng Wu naturally considered the future of the entire family and the Meng family's army.
"Of course, but not in a hurry." Ying Zheng said, "What the widow wants to say is that all the secrets in the future will be completed by the Meng family army to assist the widow, but this is okay
It can lead to the entire Mengjia army in the future, and it may no longer go into battle to kill the enemy, what do you think about this?"
Meng Wu's eyes were a little distracted, but it was only for a moment, and his worries disappeared without a trace: "Hahaha, in the future, the king will be whatever he says, but in this case, Weichen will hang up his boots in advance."
Several people laughed together.
Hanging up your boots in advance isn't necessarily a bad thing in a sense.
