Everyone followed Ying Zheng to observe the array of terracotta warriors for a while, and then came to the front of several coffins.
Lu Buwei looked at it and said, "This does not look like King Wu's coffin. It looks more ordinary. However, since it is empty, why is it placed here? Where is King Wu of Zhou buried?"
"It's not clear where King Wu of Zhou is buried. There is a secret room inside the wall. I found several rare treasures there, but I don't know how many such secret rooms there are." Ying Zheng said.
Lu Buwei looked around and found nothing special, so he said, "Your Majesty, you should take your ministers to wait until the secret room to take a look."
"Okay." Ying Zheng came to the bottom of the mountain wall. He turned around and used his peripheral vision to determine the position. It was the straight line corresponding to the coffin in the center.
Taking out the black iron snail again, Ying Zheng unscrewed the screw cap on the stone wall and opened the stone door of the secret room.
Jing Fan and Tian Yi gathered around the stone door and carefully looked at the principle of opening the stone door. But except for the upper and lower edges, the internal composition is basically invisible. If you want to study it clearly, it seems that you can only demolish the wall.
Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei walked into the secret room. Except for a high platform in the middle, the surroundings were empty.
Perhaps out of habit, Jing Fan and Tian Yi entered the door and looked carefully along the mountain wall, seemingly looking for another door leading to other places.
"Your Majesty, apart from this secret room, have you discovered anything else?" Lu Buwei seemed to be inspired by Jing Fan, looking at the deepest wall and asked.
"Nothing else was found. Maybe, maybe I didn't look carefully enough." Ying Zheng said.
Lu Buwei asked: "Do we need to send a sergeant to search carefully here?"
Ying Zheng knew that Lu Buwei would not give up without a thorough search, so he said: "Okay, but don't damage anything or move the location. Just look for mechanisms similar to Shimen."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said.
"If I build a royal tomb like this, what will Father Zhong think of me?" Ying Zheng said.
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "It is natural for the king to build a unique royal mausoleum, but we currently know very little about this royal mausoleum, and the site selection is also quite sophisticated, so we need to consider it in the long term."
"This time I went to Lishan Mountain to find the magic weapon. I think it must be a treasure land of Feng Shui. Why not build the royal tomb there? As for the tomb-making skills, after the widow gets married, I will send the Jing family team to investigate and see. Let’s see if we find anything.” Ying Zheng said.
"I obey the king's orders." Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said.
Suddenly, the torches in everyone's hands trembled at the same time, and they danced together as if they had made an appointment.
Everyone looked at each other and became inexplicably nervous.
Gradually, the blue flame became lighter and lighter, approaching white in the blink of an eye.
Click...click...
Although the movement was not very loud, everyone heard it. The sound came from the coffin on the far right.
Everyone unconsciously crowded at the door of the secret room, staring at the coffin.
"No way...it's a fake corpse." Meng Yi murmured.
"Those are empty coffins, how can they deceive corpses?" Meng Tian said angrily.
"Could it be under the coffin? The body is buried in the ground?" Wang Ben said with a trembling voice.
After what he said, everyone lost their confidence, and Ying Zheng, who had been here many times, also felt confused.
Time passed in the tense air, and everyone stopped talking and observed the changes around them.
Slowly, the flames on the torch stopped beating, and the color gradually returned to blue.
Meng Tian shook the torch in his hand up, down, left and right a few times, but the flame was still blue.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask Xiang Li Si: "Sir, what is going on?"
Li Si said with a relaxed expression: "In my opinion, there were too many people coming in this time, and the air was getting thinner and thinner, so the flames changed color while beating. The sound just now should be a mechanism for controlling the air." It was automatically triggered, bringing in air from outside.”
Li Si's explanation was reasonable and his expression was firm, making people believe him.
"Can
That can really be the case. "Tian Yi, who knows some about tombs, said.
"If that's the case, let's go out. There's nothing to see here. Let the sergeants investigate the rest." Meng Wu said, worried about Ying Zheng's safety.
"Okay, let's go out." Ying Zheng also felt that there was no need to stay any longer.
After leaving the secret room, everyone passed through the array of warriors and warriors and returned the same way.
After exiting King Wu's Mausoleum, Ying Zhengcai grabbed Li Si and asked quietly: "Sir, is the vision just now really what you said?"
"Wei Chen is not entirely sure, but nine out of ten it is like this," Li Si said.
"So that's really the case." Ying Zheng said, "I thought you just found an excuse to appease them."
"It's indeed miraculous." Li Si exclaimed, "This ancient tomb that has been built for nearly a thousand years can actually automatically adjust according to internal changes."
Ying Zheng also sighed: "It is not easy to build such a mausoleum."
"There will be a way." Li Si said.
Everyone returned to Xianyang City and were busy with the wedding of King Qin.
After solving Lu Buwei's doubts and successfully receiving funds from the treasury, Ying Zheng solved a big problem.
In the next few days, Ying Zheng basically organized and recited the "Book of Changes" in his study. Although it was a bit difficult, it had to be done. This was the prerequisite for solving many problems.
In his spare time, Ying Zheng would also chat with the princesses from various countries for a while. It is indispensable to ask for help. Although he is most fond of Princess Nansu and Hu Yu, he cannot ignore the other princesses, otherwise it will easily cause these problems. The princess' jealousy even affected the diplomatic relations between several countries.
The princess of Qi is named Lanting, who is dignified, beautiful, and gentle. Ying Zheng also liked him quite a lot.
As for Qi's diplomatic relations, Ying Zheng also paid more attention to it, because it was a planned strategy to maintain distant relations and close attacks. Qi was the farthest away from Qin and its national power was very powerful, so the relationship had to be handled well.
In the Qi Kingdom's tent, Ying Zheng looked at Princess Lanting tenderly, took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This is for you, see if you like it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Lanting bowed politely and gently opened the brocade box.
Inside is an exquisite jade hairpin, crystal clear and exquisitely crafted.
Women are naturally allergic to gold and jade, and a princess of a country is no exception, let alone a gift from her future husband.
"So beautiful!" Princess Lanting said happily.
"Let me help you put it on." Ying Zheng took the jade hairpin, walked around behind Princess Lanting, and put the jade hairpin on her bun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Lanting's voice was trembling, her face was rosy to her ears, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Why are you so polite to me?" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "How about it, can you get used to living in this military camp?"
"Shura Martial God"
"It takes a few months to get used to it." Princess Lanting said.
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "It's my fault that you have been wronged. If this ancient Chenggong Palace had not been built, I would not have let you live in the military camp."
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Lan Ting has no grievances. If she can live in a new palace, there is no harm in living in the military camp for the time being." Princess Lan Ting said.
"Having said that, after all, I have been negligent. If you have any needs, just ask. I have received the news that the dowry gift sent to Qi has been delivered. I will also give more rewards to the envoys here. Some." Ying Zheng looked guilty.
"Lanting comes to thank the king on behalf of my brother." Princess Lanting said.
Princess Lanting is not a direct bloodline of the Qi royal family. The brother she refers to is her cousin Qi Communist King Tian Jian.
"In a few days, it will be our wedding day. Speaking of which, I am really impatient." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"With sisters Nansu and Hu Yu here, how could the king still think of Lan Ting?" Princess Lan Ting said coquettishly.
"Anyway, if I didn't love all of you, how could I have married so many people at once? I have thought about it. From now on, you will have equal status regardless of priority." Ying Zheng said.
"That's what the king said. If any of my sisters falls into the trap in the future,
Young Master, that status is different. "Princess Lanting spoke sharply.
Did things spread so quickly?
Ying Zheng looked embarrassed, but couldn't argue.
At this moment, Zhao Gao said outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Changping, please see me."
Ying Zheng was asking for no excuse to leave, so he said to Princess Lan Ting: "I'm going to take care of some official business, and I'll see you another day."
Ying Zheng walked out, but Princess Lanting stamped her foot: "Why is it the Chu Kingdom again?"
Seeing Ying Zheng coming out, Lord Changping bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Chu State, Xiang Yan, has come to congratulate your Majesty on his wedding with a national gift. He is now waiting at the inn."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "He came very quickly. Send him to the palace."
"Follow the king's order." Lord Changping said with cupped hands.
On the way back to the palace, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to inform Lu Buwei and Li Xin, while he himself found Li Si.
The meeting hall.
Because the Chu State sent Xiang Yan, who was highly valued by the King of Chu, all the forces related to the Chu clan in the Qin Dynasty came.
After Zhao Gao announced his entrance, a man walked in from outside the palace door. He was dressed in the uniform of a military attache. He was tall, with a square face and solemn eyes and thick eyebrows. At first glance, he was an upright and loyal man.
"Foreign Minister Xiang Yan, by order of the King of Chu, congratulates the King of Qin on his wedding." The words were sonorous and powerful, and Xiang Yan bowed and bowed.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Master Xiang, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Yan stood up and said.
"I am getting married soon. I am extremely happy to have General Xiang come to congratulate me in person." Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty has said that it is Xiang Yan's blessing to be entrusted by the King of Chu to be sent as an envoy to the Qin Dynasty." Xiang Yan said.
The two of them exchanged a few more polite words, and Ying Zheng turned to the main topic: "This time, I have married more princesses from various countries, but I only love Nan Su, so I want to register Nan Su as my beloved to show my love. The friendship with Nansu and the desire to have good relations with Chu."
After saying this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel guilty as he thought about the conversation he had just had with Lan Ting.
"It is the princess of Nansu's fortune and the great Chu's fortune to be loved by the King of Qin." Xiang Yan cupped her hands and said, "May Qin and Chu have good relations from generation to generation and share peace."
The most important political purpose of marriage is this.
"Okay!" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Zhao Gao, give me a reward."
"Thank you, King Qin." Xiang Yan said.
"Besides, I have something else I want to discuss with General Xiang. Please go to the inner hall." Ying Zheng made a gesture of invitation.
"Please, King Qin." Xiang Yan returned the courtesy.
Arriving at the inner hall, Ying Zheng asked Xiang Yan to take a seat, and the atmosphere relaxed.
"I wonder what King Qin is talking about?" Xiang Yan has always been outspoken.
Ying Zheng took a sip of tea and then said: "I have heard that General Xiang is brave and thoughtful. The matter I mentioned is related to the remnants of the Chu State's army."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Xiang Yan said.
Lord Changping had already given a rough idea in his letter to Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan felt that the matter was not that simple, so he asked King Chu to take this opportunity to send an envoy to Qin. How come he didn't know what Ying Zheng was talking about.
Ying Zheng understood that Xiang Yan wanted Qin to speak first, so he pointed to Li Xin and said, "This is Li Xin, the governor of Yingcheng. Bandits are rampant in his territory. I want to send troops to suppress them, but I am afraid that two people will be destroyed." The country's friendship, so I ask General Xiang to make a decision."
"Prefect Li, please tell General Xiang the situation in Yingcheng." Lu Buwei said.
Li Xin bowed his hand in courtesy, and then described and analyzed the incident of bandits in Yingcheng in detail.
After Li Xin finished speaking, Xiang Yan frowned slightly and held his black beard in his hand, seeming to be thinking about the stakes.
Lord Changping said: "The difficulty in this matter is that the descendants of the former Chu army were born in the Qin Kingdom and made trouble in the Qin Kingdom, and Da Qin did not care about it, nor did it care about them."
Xiang Yan smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. Yingcheng is the old capital of Chu State. If King Qin can return Yingcheng to Chu State, then all problems will be solved."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng and others frowned.
"General Xiang's joke is a bit big," Lu Buwei said in a cold tone.
