Upon hearing Zhang Ji's request, Ying Zheng was slightly startled, but agreed to Zhang Ji's request.
However, the time to meet Zhao Ji alone is naturally not today.
As the temperature gradually drops, the time for darkness also continues to advance. At this time, the sky was getting dark. Although the harem could receive foreign ministers, it was not appropriate to receive foreign ministers after dark.
Before leaving, Zhang Ji left a brown bead to Ying Zheng, with a smooth surface and a faint luster. If you look at the bead against the light, you can find that this brown bead actually contains a streak of red blood, so the light it emits is also a trace of blood, making it look a bit coquettish and weird.
"Sir, is this the Night Pearl?"
Ying Zheng looked at this strange bead and asked.
As the King of Qin, Ying Zheng had seen the treasures of many countries, and this kind of luminous pearls and jade was no exception.
Things like luminous pearls have entered the human world since ancient times.
The Shennong family had the King of Stone Balls known as the "Night Mine". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they also had the "Xuanli" and "Cuiji Zhibi", which were extremely valuable. The Jin State even used the "Cuijazhi Bi" as bait to "false heads" Edited by Yu Yidai".
And with the pearls and jade treasures that other countries have given to Qin over the years, plus the treasures Qin obtained from the treasury when it conquered the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou principalities, there is naturally no shortage of these luminous pearls that can illuminate a room at night.
Even the most mysterious of the Night Pearls, the Suihou Pearl, which is also known as the "Two Treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period" together with He's Bi, flowed into the Qin State and became a collection in the Qin State's treasury.
However, most of those luminous pearls are green in color. Ying Zheng has never had such a light brown "luminous pearl", and the faint blood-red luster on it is also a bit strange and inexplicable.
"This thing is not a pearl or jade, but an inner elixir."
"There is a kind of king snake in the Central Plains. Its name is the Giant Anaconda. There is an inner elixir in its body. Eating it can double the poison master's power. Wherever it goes, snakes will listen to orders." Zhang Ji pinched it. This "bead" explained, "If swallowed by an ordinary person, it can improve the physical condition. Not only will the snakes obey its orders, but it will also be invulnerable to all poisons."
Zhang Ji put the inner elixir of the giant snake back into the box in his hand and handed it to Ying Zheng.
In fact, Zhang Ji originally planned to leave this inner elixir of the giant anaconda to his wives and concubines, but he failed to give it to him in the end.
Zhang Ji originally planned to give it to Jing Salamander. After all, Jing Salamander may perform various tasks arranged by the net, and may be exposed to various poisons, so leaving it to Jing Salamander can be regarded as a kind of protection.
But Jing Salamander said that masters are not afraid of hundreds of poisons.
So, Zhang Ji planned to give it to Tide, but Tide, who was still Tide Banshee at the time, couldn't use it either.
Although Tide is good at using poison, his main attack direction is voodoo, and snakes are not helpful in studying voodoo.
As for being invulnerable to all poisons, Tide has a self-made voodoo in her body that can swallow the toxins in her body and ensure Tide's safety. As long as the toxin content is within the tolerance range of this voodoo, Tide is invulnerable to all poisons.
Then, Tian Mi, who specializes in poison magic rather than poison magic, also rejected Zhang Ji.
The poisons refined from field honey are mainly derived from plants rather than poisons such as snakes, scorpions, rats, and ants, such as poppy flowers, dama, and a strange flower called datura brought by Hu merchants from the Western Regions.
The toxins in these flowers are difficult to cause death, but they can cause hallucinations and even hypnosis with the help of these poisons that can cause hallucinations. This is the direction of poison that Tian Mi pursues, rather than the kind of poison that uses strong poison to hypnotize people. A method of directly poisoning people to death.
And invulnerable to all poisons... This seems to be a bit bad among Zhang Ji's wives and concubines.
The Farmer's Internal Skills practiced by Tian Mi are full of effects that can make people invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, so naturally they can't use the Pan Chi Giant Anaconda Internal Pill. Yan Lingji has lived in Baiyue, a place where poisonous insects and snakes are rampant since she was a child, and she has a certain resistance to poisons. Even Mrs. Hu and Hu Meiren have a certain resistance to poisons since they were young.
Although the latter three can eat the inner elixir of the giant anaconda, they do not like snakes. Therefore, over and over again, the inner elixir of the Pan Chi giant anaconda seemed to be despised and no one wanted it.
Fortunately, Zhang Ji originally planned to use this Pan Chi giant anaconda inner elixir to fool one of his wives and concubines into unlocking more postures with him, or changing into a more exciting outfit.
It is also because of this that the inner elixir of this giant anaconda can be preserved until now.
Zhang Ji's purpose in handing over the inner elixir of the Pan Chi giant anaconda to Ying Zheng was also very simple, that is, to let Zhao Ji swallow the inner elixir.
Although Zhang Ji didn't know the ingredients of the drug prepared by Lao Ai, as long as Zhao Ji swallowed the inner elixir of the Panchi giant anaconda, no matter how powerful Lao Ai's drug was, it would be impossible to completely control Zhao Ji's thoughts. , Zhao Ji will slowly regain her consciousness and see through all this.
After handing over the inner elixir of the Pan Chi giant anaconda to Ying Zheng, Zhang Ji left the palace.
Zhang Ji decisively refused Ying Zheng's move to keep Zhang Ji for meals.
Oh, Ying Zheng was a man of great energy, which is recorded in history books.
"Every matter in the world, big or small, is determined by the Supreme Being. The Supreme Being measures the book with a weighing stone and submits it day and night. If the submission fails, there will be no rest."
This means that Ying Zheng has great power and personally decides all administrative matters, no matter how big or small. There is also a clear quota for the government affairs to be handled every day. He will not rest until he has read the quota of 120 kilograms of bamboo slips. It is also rumored that he only rests for four hours a day. .
And when it comes to talents, Ying Zheng especially likes to invite people to have meals with him. For example, Li Si, Han Fei, Wei Liao and others have all had the experience of being dragged by Ying Zheng to chat all day and night.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is Ying Zheng's "special treatment" for talented people, and it is a sign of valuing them. But in the eyes of Zhang Ji, a later generation, it is... an unscrupulous boss trying to make a big pie while forcing you to work overtime without giving you any compensation. Overtime pay.
Therefore, Zhang Ji sternly refused.
"Mencius said: There are three things that are unfilial about etiquette. That is, being obedient and being unjust in getting married is unfilial. The first is unfilial. The family is poor and the relatives are old, and they do not serve as officials. The second is unfilial. Not marrying and having no children is not filial. There are three unfilial piety. Among the three, having no descendants is the greatest."
"I am too young to have any heirs, but I still have no heirs. This is extremely unfilial!"
Zhang Ji's reasons for refusing were so abundant that Ying Zheng couldn't refuse at all.
From ancient times to the present, the inheritance of offspring has been a major event for a family, especially for a prominent family like the Zhang family in Anyi.
Why, my old Zhang family has not left a queen yet, does it possible that you, Ying Zheng, want me to continue to be an unfilial son?
Of course, Ying Zheng understood the truth, but when he saw Zhang Ji's bold back turning around and pushing open the door, Ying Zheng suddenly felt the urge to drag this bastard to become an eunuch.
However, Zhang Ji, who left gracefully, did not expect what kind of shock the wives and concubines at home had prepared for him.
