Three days later, in the Xianyang Palace, the imperial court gathered.
Because Hazhusu came to Xianyang on behalf of Beihu and Kaqu represented the Western Regions, they were the first to receive them.
Kaqu was still so fat. He stood up respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, King of Tianshan, the Western Region has not yet fully recovered, but in order to show their respect for Your Majesty and their submission to the Qin Dynasty, the countries in the Western Region have specially prepared an incomparable gift for Your Majesty. Please Your Majesty accepts it."
After I nodded, Kaqu waved, and two people from the Western Regions immediately walked in outside the hall.
Both of them are fifteen or sixteen years old. One is a young man with black hair and blue eyes. He is extremely handsome, has a well-proportioned and slender figure, and fair skin. At least Fusu's body is far inferior to that of Fusu. Even the so-called The young starlets are also far behind, they are simply ridiculously handsome.
The other was a blond girl with blue eyes. She was as beautiful as a fairy. She had no blemishes on her skin and a graceful figure. She was wearing a traditional costume from the Western Regions. She held her exposed waist tightly, which made many people in the palace secretly swallow their saliva.
Seeing that everyone was a little embarrassed, I cleared my throat and teased: "Kaqu, these two people are your unparalleled gifts? I'm afraid they are a bit expensive, right?"
I can understand sending a woman here, after all, men are lustful, but what do you mean by matching it with a man? I don't like men... Besides, instead of giving me a beautiful woman, it would be more practical to exchange it for a cart of gold and silver.
Kaqu didn't seem to hear my sarcasm, and said with a serious look: "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, the gift is not for the two of them, but the same thing from both of them!"
I frowned slightly, but I didn't see what his intention was. The two of them were dressed simply, and if there was anything special... only those two pairs of eyes were particularly eye-catching. I looked carefully and made a surprising discovery: their eyes turned out to have double pupils! And there seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling in it, as if the universe was filled with stars!
But no matter how strange this thing is, it's just a pile of human tissue. It can't contain supernatural and mysterious power, right?
"Kaqu, don't be too pretentious. You and I are old acquaintances. Just tell me." The ancients had a strange way of doing things, and I was too lazy to play riddles with him.
Kaqu lost his usual flattering smile and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, what all the countries want to dedicate to Your Majesty are the eyes of these two!"
I narrowed my eyes slightly, what were these people thinking? What the hell do I need a pair of eyes for? Make soup? It’s probably not as delicious as fisheye soup!
"What's the meaning?"
Kaqu looked into their eyes and said respectfully: "It is said that the Tianshan Mountain in the Western Region was originally a white hair of the Tianshan God. The Tianshan God was shocked when he found out that he had white hair, because white hair represents old age and foreshadows old age. Death, but how could a god die? So the Tianshan God angrily plucked out the white hair and threw it on the ground, turning it into the Tianshan Mountains across the Western Region."
"Although the white hair was gone, the Tianshan God was afraid that he would continue to grow old, so he searched for the method of immortality, and finally met the supreme God Emperor at the end of the sky. The God Emperor thought that he had protected mankind throughout his life and had countless merits, so he took the throne from his seat Next, a man and a woman took a drop of the essence and blood of the two divine servants, and turned them into twin brothers and sisters and were born in the world. They told the Tianshan God that using the double-pupiled eyes of the two when they were twenty to refine an elixir could protect them from aging for thousands of years. After another thousand years, the two of them will be born again, thus ensuring the immortality of the Tianshan God!"
"But the premise is that the Tianshan God still has to protect the peace of the world, otherwise the two of them will never be born again in a thousand years, until the Tianshan God dies. Since then, the Tianshan God has been protecting the peace of the countries in the Western Regions for a long time."
After saying that, he waved his hand and pointed at the two of them and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now the two of them have appeared again. They have been taken in by the Kucha royal family in a specially built temple since they were children. They have received the incense from the people of the Western Regions. They are still in perfect condition. They are seventeen years old. Years old, in order to keep the immortal power increasing day by day. The Tianshan God looked on coldly while Wusun and the Xiongnu were burning, killing and looting. He is no longer worthy of enjoying immortality. Your Majesty saved the people of the Western Regions from fire and water. As the king of Tianshan, he deserves to receive this immortality elixir!"
"Your Majesty can have the eyes of these two people taken out alive, and the alchemists of Great Qin can refine them in a furnace. If the immortality elixir is really refined, they will be able to live forever and protect the peace of Great Qin forever!"
Everyone in the hall listened with great interest. They did not expect that the Great Court Meeting would be able to listen to anecdotes for free, and they became very interested in the boys and girls. Judging from their appearance, they did have the meaning of being descended from gods. The key is immortality, Ying Zheng. I have been pursuing immortality for most of my life! The temptation is too great, even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, not only Ying Zheng, but also some people will want to try it!
Will I be able to fix it now? Immortality? Although time travel is already a fact, I would never believe it if someone told me that they could live forever. If there are really immortal people, it is impossible not to leave any traces. But looking at history, who can achieve it?
I glanced at Kaqu, then at a man and a woman. All three of them had very serious expressions on their faces. The boy and girl seemed to have known their fate for a long time. They just lowered their heads and listened to Kaqu's story without facing it at all. Live the fear of your eyes.
With so many people watching, it didn’t look like Kaqu was making up lies. I couldn’t refute his face, so I had no choice but to say: “Then I will accept it, but they are not yet old and I am still young. When the first wisp of white hair appears on your body, you can refine the elixir. Someone, send the two of them to the Young Mansion for good health."
There are also slaves and singers brought back by Zhang Gou in the Shaofu. I have never gone to see them. To be honest, compared to the dances of the Western Regions, I still like ancient Chinese dances, and I also don’t have time to go see them.
Seeing me accepting the two of them, Kaqu's face lit up with joy and he said respectfully: "The King of Tianshan will surely have a long life. I would like to wish His Majesty the King of Tianshan in advance!"
I smiled slightly. When people pay tribute, they have to give something in return, but it is worth thinking carefully about what to give in return. If it is too precious, the two people will not deserve it. If it is too frivolous, it will be shameless.
I thought about it for a moment, and there it was!
"Shu Sun Tong, there is an extra backup of Bai Jia Xue in Bai Jia Xue Palace!"
Shusun Tong stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have a complete copy, but there are quite a lot of teaching materials supplied to the various county academies, as many as five cartloads of various books!"
I nodded, that's enough! He turned to look at Kaqu and said with a smile: "Kaqu, the land in the Western Region now belongs to the Qin Dynasty. There is constant trade and trade, and all the countries pay tribute to me with such great gifts. I am very pleased! I will definitely reward you heavily. After thinking about it, Go, only knowledge and books are the most precious wealth. A rich family does not need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells of millet in books, and there is no need to build a high hall to live in peace, there is a house of gold in books."
"So I give you two carts of gold, silver, money, and silk to build the Western Region Academy, and I also give you five carts of books to enrich the academy. This will enable everyone in the Western Region to know Qin characters and Qin rituals. The Western Regions are more closely connected with Great Qin, what do you think?"
