For hundreds of years, Xianyang has been a prosperous place of the Seven Kingdoms. At this time, during the Qin Dynasty, it was even more crowded with people and horses and carriages.
On the widest street in Xianyang City, in the middle, there are palaces. In front of the palace, two vermilion doors stand high in the middle. Looking towards them from a distance, you can vaguely see three large Qin seals engraved on them. : "Xianyang Palace."
In front of the palace gate, there are heavy scales and an axe, and a purple figure is seen, standing with hands behind his back, his forehead slightly raised, as if staring at the three characters "Xianyang Palace" above the palace gate.
Next to him, a man dressed as a eunuch took a step forward and said, "Sir, it's time for us to go in."
Next to the eunuch, there was also a person standing. He was wearing a armor and a sword hanging from his waist. He was very tall. Although his head was slightly lowered, his eyes fell on the smooth marble at his feet, as smooth as a mirror. Guang looked curiously at the purple figure in front of him.
Jingzhou didn't answer, he still kept looking up at the city wall, motionless, but there was a smile on his lips.
At this time, in his eyes, the Xianyang Palace in front of him was filled with treasures, golden light shot out, and a dragon was sitting on it. Looking from a distance, he saw that there seemed to be steaming purple energy coming from the west.
The eunuch warned again: "My lord, it is not good to keep the king waiting for a long time."
Although his tone of voice when he said this was a little urgent, it was still respectful. It turned out that he had been warned before leaving the palace and knew that the young man in purple in front of him was the king's distinguished guest. Even though he was anxious in his heart , and dare not do that disrespectful act.
A faint smile crossed Jingzhou's lips and said, "Let's go, I won't embarrass you."
The eunuch was overjoyed when he heard this and secretly thought that the man in front of him knew how hard it was for them to be slaves and was considerate. Even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction deep in his heart had long since disappeared.
The journey was smooth, but the Xianyang Palace occupied a large area. After walking for a while, Jingzhou arrived in front of the first hall.
At that time, the eunuch had already stepped aside. Jingzhou climbed up the steps. The door of the hall opened and he walked straight in.
There is plenty of light in the hall. At the other end, a young man is lying on the head of a eucalyptus. He has straight features and a tough look. He is wearing home clothes. Except for a jade belt around his waist, he has nothing luxurious. He only exudes a sense of grace. The anger makes it impossible to ignore.
The young man was holding a bamboo slip in one hand and a pen in the other. He was so focused that he didn't notice that there was an additional figure in the hall.
Next to this young man stood a swordsman. His back is straight, his eyebrows are thick, his thin lips are tightly pressed into a line, and his straight nose makes him look a little thin. The most eye-catching thing is that his eyes are extremely calm. There are waves in the eyes.
"I didn't expect that Gai Nie would come to work for Ying Zheng now!" Jing Zhou secretly thought, and then said out loud: "Ao Qing of the Yin Yang family has met the King of Qin."
Jing Zhou practiced at the Yin Yang family for a while and then received a summons from Ying Zheng.
Although the summons came somewhat suddenly, Jingzhou was not surprised. After a little thought, he thought through the matter eight or nine times.
In this world, nothing can escape the eyes and ears of the net, let alone in Xianyang City.
As soon as he appeared at Yin Yang's residence, the information might have appeared on Ying Zheng's desk.
Ying Zheng paused, put his pen down, raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him carefully. After a while, he said, "Oh, are you the mountain ghost of the Yin Yang family?"
The word "mountain ghost" made Jing Zhou feel a toothache immediately.
Jingzhou sighed, then met Ying Zheng's eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty, it would be better to call me Ao Qing or Qing."
"As for the word mountain ghost, it really doesn't sound good. Even a drunkard is much better than a mountain ghost."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed loudly, but became curious about this young man. When did the people of the Yin and Yang family change their unsmiling temperament, and when did they change their importance to names so much.
Moreover, the man in front of him was not afraid of him at all, and his words were full of ease.
Among the thousands of officials in Qin, who is not nervous in front of him?
Even Lu Buwei was somewhat afraid in front of Ying Zheng.
The only person in the Yin Yang family who could not feel any fluctuation in his heart in front of him was the extremely mysterious Donghuang Taiyi. At this time, another one actually appeared.
Ying Zheng placed the bamboo slips on the eucalyptus table, stood up and came to Jing Zhou's side, saying: "I'm very surprised, what's the difference between these names? I have a saying, the Tao is ruthless, rule by inaction, you Yin and Yang Since it originated from Taoism, shouldn’t we not care about these external objects?”
Reading with rice balls
Jing Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty only mentioned one of them. The Taoist sages also wrote "Xiaoyaoyou". It can be seen that the Dao can follow your heart, but Xiaoyao is the only one!"
Ying Zheng asked: "You don't seem to be afraid of me?"
Jing Zhou smiled and said, "Why should you be afraid? Although the king is sitting in the pass and has countless wealth, it is no different to Ao Qing. Ao Qing does not seek official positions and wealth. All he seeks is the Taoism. That’s all.”
"Besides, although our Yin Yang family does not have the ability to influence the general trend of the world with one person like Gui Guzi in previous generations, we are not without the ability to influence the direction of the general trend."
Having said this, Jing Zhou turned his gaze to Gai Nie and saw him staring down at the sword in his hand. A few strands of long hair hung down, covering most of his emotionless face. The sword in Gai Nie's hand is not thick, and is even a little thin. Looking at the appearance alone, it does look somewhat similar to Tai'a.
Ying Zheng's face turned cold: "Huh, you control the general trend of the world! If you say that, are you not afraid that I will cause trouble to your Yin Yang family in the future?"
Suddenly, the temperature in the hall dropped by three points, as if it was the end of winter.
The guards outside the main hall felt chilled in their hearts, secretly sighing that this young man from the Yin Yang family was so courageous that he even dared to say such words!
If he offends His Majesty the Emperor, even members of the Yin Yang family may not be able to escape punishment!
Jingzhou looked back and said with a smile: "Hahaha, since I dare to say it, I am not afraid of it. Your Majesty has great ambitions and wants to unite the seven kingdoms so that the books will have the same text and the cars will run on the same track. This will naturally require the help of my Yin Yang family. As for the From now on, after Your Majesty eradicates the six countries, I am afraid that the rebellion of these six countries will also have to be eradicated with the help of my Yin Yang family."
"Besides, the king is also quite restricted at this time, and there are some things that he cannot do as he pleases."
"And what my Yin Yang family needs is just to use the empire's destiny to spy on the great road. The destiny of one faction has already coincided with the destiny of the empire. It can be said that one will be prosperous and one will suffer."
Although the eternal emperor in front of him was extraordinary, it was not enough to scare Jingzhou.
At this time, most of the power of the Qin State still fell into Lu Buwei's hands, and the Yin and Yang family had always been the target of Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei's wooing.
Ying Zheng's life is not going too smoothly at this time, and he will not do anything to destroy the Great Wall.
There was a smile on Ying Zheng's face, his eyes looked into the distance, and he said: "Sir, he is honest and has extraordinary courage. No wonder he can be ranked as Lord Bidong in the Yin Yang family."
