The three people walked out of the secret room.
Jing Liang turned around and pushed the stone door gently, then stepped hard with his right foot. The stone door returned to its original position and fit tightly.
After walking around several coffins and passing the pottery figurines, Ying Zheng stopped.
Bringing the torch closer to the terracotta warriors, Ying Zheng observed the terracotta warriors carefully.
"Sir, why do you want me to imitate these warriors before I can enter the next level?" Ying Zheng expressed his doubts.
"It's okay to tell the king now," Li Si said. "The successors of the past dynasties need to build a mausoleum similar to King Wu's mausoleum. Those who are not successors of the successor are not allowed to enter."
"Has this been the case throughout the ages?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.
Li Si nodded and said: "The original intention was to store the Jiuding. Later, more and more heavenly items were inherited, and the Jiuding had long been made public, so the Jiuding was placed in the world. In the hall, Tiancheng’s Mausoleum stores other Tiancheng objects.”
"The mausoleum of Tiancheng..." Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.
The royal tomb is so big, how could it not accommodate these many objects?
Li Si continued: "Since the king is the new successor, he must also build such a mausoleum."
Ying Zheng's eyes were shaken, and he was surprised and delighted: "I have long had the idea of building a large-scale imperial mausoleum that is not easy to be invaded. Unexpectedly, the predecessors of Tiancheng have already done this. But this nine-story mausoleum must be It’s very complicated and I’m afraid it will be difficult to build.”
"This is the reason why Master asked the king to imitate the terracotta warriors." Li Si said seriously, "When the king gradually builds the relevant parts of the mausoleum, it will be easy to build the mausoleum."
Ying Zheng nodded and said firmly: "Okay! Then we will follow the wishes of our seniors and gradually build replicas and unblock them layer by layer."
The previous resentment was gone, and Ying Zheng's desire for the entire ancient book became a driving force, and he became more and more interested in the construction of the tomb.
"But, how are we going to transport these terracotta warriors back?" Ying Zheng said, "If we let the sergeants come to carry them, I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The common people will find a way to transport the few warriors outside to the city. They can just put them there for the time being." Li Si said.
"What is the use of these terracotta warriors for the mausoleum?" Ying Zheng asked again.
"Well, ordinary people don't know this," Li Si said.
Ying Zheng didn't dwell too much on this issue. He looked at the weak flames on the spare torch and said, "The torch can't last much longer. Let's go back."
The two of them said yes, and then, one after the other, they protected Ying Zheng and returned the way he came.
After walking out of the big stone gate outside the mouth and joining the second watch and third watch, several people got on their horses and ran towards Xianyang City.
After entering the city gate, Jing Liang did not follow Ying Zheng to the palace, but said goodbye to everyone and headed in the direction of Wen Leiju.
Back in the palace, Lu Buwei was waiting outside the gate, with Lu Wen and Lu Wu standing on both sides of Lu Buwei.
Ying Zheng dismounted, handed the horse to Zhao Gao, and then winked at Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao saluted Lu Buwei and then led the two horses away.
After Lu Buwei and the others paid tribute to Ying Zheng, Li Si also paid tribute to Lu Buwei.
Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei entered the study, but no one else followed.
Ying Zheng asked: "Father Zhong came to see me, do you have something important to do?"
"Your Majesty, the location for building the new palace has been selected, materials have been prepared, and the craftsmen requested by the King have been assembled." Lu Buwei said, "I would like to ask the King when the construction will start."
When he saw Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng guessed his purpose: "Let's start the construction immediately. Didn't Father Zhong say in front of the Queen Mother that it will be completed within two months?"
"Okay, let's start the construction immediately." Lu Buwei said, "Leave the construction of this new palace to Lu Wen and Lu Wu. If others supervise it, I will feel a little worried."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then I will follow Father Zhong's wish. In addition, I want to build a few secret rooms to store some personal belongings."
"What does the king want to store?" Lu Buwei asked.
"Storage some ancient calligraphy and paintings, handwriting, etc." Ying Zheng said playfully, "Maybe the secret rooms are a bit small, so we can just build a treasure pavilion similar to the one in Zhongfu's house."
Ying Zheng used a half-joking way to avoid Lu Buwei's questioning.
The minister's home has his own treasure house, and the king wants to build several secret rooms, but he has to be questioned.
Lu Buwei raised his hands in embarrassment and said, "The king is making fun of me."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I was just joking, Father Zhong, don't mind."
"Your Majesty, Cheng Jiao has ordered all the soldiers and horses, prepared the food and grass, and is ready to go." Lu Buwei took the initiative to change the subject.
"Oh? So fast?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised. It was not that simple to prepare 80,000 troops and horses in just two days.
"This is not surprising. When he learned that the king was going to attack Wei, he was already making preparations." Lu Buwei said.
"It seems that he is really eager to go to war." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand." Lu Buwei said.
"Father Zhong, please speak." Seeing Lu Buwei's awe, Ying Zheng made a gesture of invitation.
"At the court meeting that day, how did the king see through South Korea's strategy of offering canals to weaken Qin, and also exposed the conspiracy of Zhao, Wei, and Han?" Lu Buwei asked sincerely.
"What's so difficult about this?" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I just feel that with Wei's own strength, we should not have the guts to pretend to be Chu and assassinate, and the relationship between Zhao, Han and Wei is extraordinary, so I So I deceived Zheng Guo. Unexpectedly, I really got it right."
Because of Li Si's special status, Ying Zheng would certainly not let Lu Buwei notice Li Si by saying that it was Li Si who suggested it.
"It seems that the old minister is really old, and he didn't realize the sinister intentions of these three Jins." Lu Buwei said with a gloomy face, "I almost missed a big event."
"Father Zhong, there is no need to blame yourself. The conspiracy between the three Jin Dynasties was a long-term plan. There must be very few people who know about it," Ying Zheng said.
Lu Buwei nodded and said: "In recent years, the Lu Mansion has sent out quite a few people as retainers in various countries. They have secretly collected information from various countries, but they have not obtained any information about this matter."
Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "Father Zhong said that the Lu Mansion sent many spies to various countries?"
Lu Buwei didn't understand why Ying Zheng had this expression, so he responded: "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
"This move is not inappropriate," Ying Zheng said. "It's just that I suddenly thought that if Father Zhong can use the same method, then other countries can also use it."
Lu Buwei looked worried: "Your Majesty, are you saying that various countries will also send many spies to Da Qin's mansions to serve as retainers?"
"Why not?" Ying Zheng asked.
"The war is about to begin. I will go back and conduct a detailed investigation." Lu Buwei raised his hand and made a farewell gesture.
"Lao Zhongfu is here." Ying Zheng sent Lu Buwei out the door.
After Lu Buwei left, Li Si entered the door.
"Your Majesty, have the things retrieved today been properly placed?" Li Si asked.
"Everything was put on my horse. Zhao Gao led the horse and entered the door first without letting Lu Buwei notice." Ying Zheng said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao walked into the study from the outside, holding a cloth bag in his hand and carrying a cloth bag on his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, bring them all in," Zhao Gao said.
"Put it in the inner room of the study." Ying Zheng said, "From now on, no one is allowed to enter my bed and the inner room of the study without my order. Except for you, sir, no one is allowed to enter, including you."
Zhao Gao held something in his hand and did not hand it over. He just bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Gao placed the cloth bag in the inner room, then went out and guarded the outer door.
Ying Zheng untied the cloth bag containing the Xuanyuan Sword, carefully held the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and said, "Sir, do you know what is different about this Xuanyuan Sword?"
After saying that, Ying Zheng unsheathed his sword.
In the sun, the light is different from that in the tomb, and the golden sword body appears more dazzling, more holy, and more noble.
"The ordinary people just saw this sword for the first time yesterday. How different it is. Find a sword and try it." After saying that, Li Si walked to the outer room of the study and came back with a sword.
Li Si drew his sword and said, "Your Majesty, please fight with the common people."
"Okay." Ying Zheng walked to the opposite side of Li Si and struck a sword-facing stance.
"Ah...ha!" Ying Zheng shouted and swung his sword to attack Li Si.
Li Si took his time and raised his sword to meet the attack.
Just hearing the sound of boring, the two changed positions, raised their swords and looked again.
Xuanyuan Sword is still so domineering, the blade is still sharp, and no damage can be seen.
Looking at the sword in Li Si's hand, there was a deep dent where it collided with the Xuanyuan Sword.
Ying Zheng put down his sword and walked over to check the dents on the sword in Li Si's hand.
"Yes, I can injure my sword to such an extent." Ying Zheng said, "You know, my sword is several times tougher than an ordinary sergeant's sword."
"Your Majesty, the common people did not resist with force just now." Li Si said, "If they had used force, or if the common people had attacked instead, I am afraid that this sword would have broken long ago."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Come on, it's you who will attack me this time."
"Okay." Li Si responded and raised the sword in his hand.
Ying Zheng held the sword with both hands in a defensive posture.
"Your Majesty, look at the sword!" Li Si swung his arm and slashed at Ying Zheng.
Thirty...
There was another crisp sound.
I saw the tip of a broken sword nearly one foot spinning and flying out. After hitting the wall, it fell to the ground.
Ying Zheng stepped forward and picked up the broken sword with a look of shock on his face.
"This Xuanyuan Sword really lives up to its reputation!" Ying Zheng sighed.
"According to legend, although the material and craftsmanship of this Xuanyuan Sword are slightly better than 'my weapon', in terms of its ability to kill enemies, Xuanyuan Sword is not as good as 'my weapon'." Li Si said.
This sentence aroused Ying Zheng's infinite expectations for "my weapon". Unfortunately, only the first volume of the "Book of Changes" was obtained, and the complete text on the tortoise shells and animal bones must not be translated.
"As for these two ancient books," Li Si added, "it can only be understood by the king himself."
"Okay, during this period of time, I will devote myself to studying these two ancient books." Ying Zheng said.
"The ordinary people have to go to Wenleiju, so I won't disturb the king too much." Li Si said with his hand in hand.
Ying Zheng nodded. He estimated that the old man in white was most likely still in the city, and Li Si was going on a mission with Jing Liang.
After Li Si left, Ying Zheng wrapped the Xuanyuan Sword and put it into the secret compartment together with the "Agricultural and Food Scripture", along with the previous items, and then took out the tortoise shell and animal bones.
Ying Zheng used the black iron snail to open the box containing the "Book of Changes", took out the first volume of the "Book of Changes" and flipped through it carefully.
At this sight, Ying Zheng broke into cold sweat.
Although it is a dictionary, Ying Zheng does not recognize most of the translations of those ancient symbols.
After all, the "Book of Changes" was written thousands of years ago, and the writing at that time was different from that of the Qin Dynasty. The characters of each country are also very different. It is impossible to say which country has a certain character that is consistent with the ancient characters.
Do we need to learn the writing of all countries?
Thinking of this problem, Ying Zheng's head became two big ones.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, Ying Zheng took it into consideration.
Ying Zheng now has two convenient conditions to use, one is a princess from various countries, and the other is Wen Leiju. He only needs to copy the characters of other countries that he cannot understand, and then ask people from different countries who knows the characters.
Ying Zheng flipped through the thin pages made of bronze one by one, transcribing the characters he knew and their corresponding symbols.
On the second day, the military field was ordered.
Cheng Jiao was wearing bright silver armor, riding a tall horse majestically, standing on a high place, looking at the 80,000 soldiers.
"Commanders..." Cheng Jiao shouted loudly, "I think you all already know that the Wei State is pretending to be the Chu State and wants to assassinate my king. Therefore, I, following my king's order, will lead the army to attack, which will inevitably cause the Wei State to secede the city to make amends. , to appease my king’s anger.”
"Kill, kill, kill!!!" Eighty thousand soldiers shouted in unison, with overwhelming power.
Cheng Jiao looked back at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng nodded to Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao drew out her sword and shouted: "Attack Wei from the east, let's go!"
Eighty thousand people marched toward the east in an orderly manner.
Watching the army go away, Ying Zheng felt some indescribable feelings in his heart, and a bad premonition flashed through his heart.
