After coming out of the tavern with Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to send the copy of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" to the Lu Mansion and informed Lu Buwei that Ying Zheng would go to Lishan again the next day.
Zhao Gao took the order and left.
Ying Zheng returned to the palace alone.
Before arriving at his palace, Ying Zheng discovered that several eunuchs and maids had gathered at the door of Hu Yu's palace, looking into the palace door.
Ying Zheng walked behind these people, coughed slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
When several eunuchs and maids heard the voices behind them, they quickly turned around and saw King Qin standing behind them. They were all shocked and knelt down on the ground.
One of the older ones said in a trembling voice: "Back to the king, we are watching Mrs. Hu Yu practice martial arts."
Ying Zheng stretched his head and looked inside the palace gate. When he saw that it was Hu Yu who was dancing "my weapon", he waved his hand and said, "You guys, please step aside."
These eunuchs and maids all belonged to other ladies' palaces, otherwise they would not lie at the entrance of Hu Yu's palace and watch secretly.
Several people quickly left as if they had been granted amnesty.
Ying Zheng sighed softly and walked into the palace gate.
When Hu Yu saw that Ying Zheng was back, he quickly lowered his posture and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Why, are you practicing 'my weapon' again?"
"That's right." Hu Yu put down the magic weapon and said, "A few days ago, the people from the Jing family class sent this recast magic weapon over, and it is indeed better than the previous one."
"You." Ying Zheng's eyes were full of love, "I don't know what to do if I get enough rest and the child in my belly is exhausted."
It sounds like a rebuke, but it's actually caring.
Hu Yu said with some grievance: "I just held it and waved it a few times, and didn't do any flipping or jumping."
Ying Zheng said helplessly: "I know that you like weapons and practice martial arts, but you must also take into account the overall situation. The overall situation at the moment is to give birth to the child safely."
Hu Yu pursed his lips, but still said: "I know, I just don't have to work hard from now on. If you want to play a few tricks, just let the eunuchs do it, and I can just watch."
"Then let Zhao Gao show you the trick." Ying Zheng said.
The couple laughed.
Returning to Hu Yu's inner room, Ying Zheng sat down to drink tea.
Hu Yu handed the freshly poured tea to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the construction of the royal tomb must not be completed in a year and a half."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this project may be bigger than imagined. I have tentatively agreed with Father Zhong on a ten-year period."
"Ten years?" Hu Yu said in surprise.
Hu Yu had never entered the tomb of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, so he could not imagine its magnificence.
"Yes, ten years." Ying Zheng cast his gaze into the distance, as if imagining what it would be like in ten years. "If ten years is not enough, then we can discuss it later."
Hu Yu: "..."
Ten years is not necessarily enough? !
King Qin, do you want to build another Xianyang City?
Ying Zheng saw that Hu Yu seemed to be in a bad mood, so he comforted him: "Didn't I say that this year, I will be busy with it. After the foundation is laid, the rest can be handed over to the craftsmen. ”
This is the fact, this is the agreement between Yingzheng and Yaizhen.
Hu Yu smiled, with rare tenderness in his affectionate eyes: "I would like to make a request."
"Treading on the Stars"
"Say." Ying Zheng's voice was very soft. He stared into Hu Yu's eyes, but there were uncontrollable throbs in his heart.
"I would like to request that after I give birth, I will follow the king to Mount Li to have a look. If it is feasible, I would like my father to also learn to build one." Hu Yu said.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
As the leader of a country, Ying Zheng was busy building royal tombs, so Hu Yu naturally thought of his father.
But the royal tombs built by Ying Zheng could not be built by anyone.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "King Zhao must be very happy that you have this intention. However, I am still crossing the river by feeling the stones. Besides, the door inside is
Even the Taoist people don't understand, it's all the craftsmen who are studying it. "
After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Hu Yu retreated a little.
"But by next year, I can send a few craftsmen over to teach them some skills. As for whether my father-in-law will build a royal tomb or not, that's not up to us."
"That's right." Hu Yu said with a smile, "We will discuss this matter after I see it with my own eyes."
"By the way, if you really can't sit still, there is a fun place for me." Ying Zheng said.
"Where is it?" Hu Yu became interested.
"Then you have to promise me something, otherwise I won't tell you." Ying Zheng gave up.
"Your Majesty, you haven't said where it is, so how can I promise you this?" Hu Yu said angrily, "Besides, you haven't said what you want me to promise."
"You say it first," Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"You say it first." Hu Yu pouted.
"Okay, okay, let me talk first." Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said, "I want you to agree to give me a fat boy."
"This... how can I promise my concubine to the king?" Hu Yu widened his eyes and said, "Forget it, it seems that the king doesn't want to say anything."
"Okay, okay, let me make another request." Ying Zheng pretended to be thoughtful and said, "If I ask you to go to that fun place, you must not wield a sword or sword. You must ensure that the child is safe. born to."
Hu Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Well, Hu Yu can do this."
Ying Zheng looked at Hu Yu, held back his smile, and said, "Okay, remember your promise today. I tell you, that fun place is the Meng family's training ground."
Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Hu Yu was a little discouraged: "Military training ground? What fun is there in the military training ground?"
Hu Yu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Not to mention that he grew up in a military training ground, but it's not much different.
"You don't know something about this." Ying Zheng said mysteriously, "I have ordered Wei Liao to train the new army there with the newly forged 'I Weapon'. Their training methods are very interesting. Go and see Then you’ll understand.”
When Hu Yu heard that the new army using 'my weapon' was training there, he immediately became energetic: "It's the new army training there. What new trick is that?"
"It's not easy to describe. You can only know it by seeing it yourself." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay then." Hu Yu said angrily, "I want to see what Wei Liao is capable of."
"Don't cause trouble." Ying Zheng scratched Hu Yu's nose with his finger.
"Yeah." Hu Yu responded with a smile.
At this moment, Zhao Gao's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the servant is back."
"Come in." Ying Zheng said loudly, "I just want to see you for something."
Zhao Gao walked in and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao and said: "I just promised Mrs. Hu Yu to go to the training ground of Meng Mansion when she has nothing to do to watch the new army train 'my weapon'. And you must pick her up in person, remember Yet?"
Zhao Gao bowed and at the same time raised his hands and said: "I accept the order, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng nodded and asked, "Have you finished all the matters with Father Zhong?"
Zhao Gao nodded and said, "It's all done, and Lu Xiangbang also ordered people to allocate military pay to the Meng Mansion."
"Okay!" Ying Zheng then asked, "How are the preparations going at the Meng family?"
"General Meng Wu has gone to collect the military pay in person. It is said that everything is ready." Zhao Gao replied.
"Where's the Jing Kiln?" Ying Zheng asked again.
"The preparations at Jing Kiln have been completed. Jing Fan said that if the king gives the order, they can set off now," Zhao Gao said.
"Don't." Hu Yu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't hold his breath.
Ying Zheng chuckled: "Okay, then we'll wait one more night and set off tomorrow morning."
Hu Yu: "..."
At this time, footsteps and laughter came from outside the door again.
It was several other ladies who heard that King Qin was back and were in Hu Yu's palace. They communicated with each other.
Feel free to come over and take a look.
Suddenly, Hu Yu's bedroom became lively.
I saw only a few ladies, all with spring-like faces, refreshed and full of charm as they talked and laughed.
After joking for a while, Nansu felt that Hu Yu's expression was not right, and thought she had a bad temper with Ying Zheng, so she asked.
Unexpectedly, the reason why Hu Yu is unhappy is because Ying Zheng just told her that she will leave the palace again tomorrow and go to Lishan.
The smiles on the faces of the ladies froze.
Before, Ying Zheng said that he would lead an army to Mount Li. The ladies found an excuse to ask for a son and kept King Qin for three more days. But what excuse could they find to keep him now?
In fact, Ying Zheng couldn't bear to be separated from his lovely wives, so he had to say: "I am taking the entire Meng family army to Lishan this time, so there will not be any danger. Once the place settles down, if I really can't go back, If you come, I’ll send someone to pick you up, okay?”
Only then did the faces of the ladies have smiles again.
Nansu was closest to Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "The king just wants to pick them up, and I won't go with my concubines."
"Well, then I will accompany my sister." Hu Yu, who always wanted to go out to play, didn't want to go out. He was probably thinking about the training ground.
The remaining three ladies looked at each other.
Wenxuan said: "Since the king is going to travel tomorrow, let's rest early."
Ying Zheng: "..."
The task of seeking a son has not been completed yet, there is still one night left.
Looking at King Qin whose legs were a little weak, Nan Su and Hu Yu both snickered.
It seems that the old saying is true, strike first to gain the upper hand.
At midnight the next day, the 50,000-strong Meng family army on the battlefield was assembled and ready to prepare, but there was no movement from the King of Qin.
The craftsmen of the Jingjia class were also loaded with carriages and horses, and they looked towards the city gate from time to time.
Lu Buwei knew that Ying Zhengding was reluctant to part with the five wives, so he was not in a hurry.
Not long after, the imperial guards appeared at the gate of the city surrounded by King Qin's carriage.
Ying Zheng came to the front of the army formation, looked around at the neat formation, and his heart was filled with excitement.
But this time it was not a war, so there was no need to encourage morale too much. Ying Zheng just said a few words briefly and ordered Meng Wu to give instructions.
After all, these are soldiers borrowed from Meng Wu, and they are not going to fight. Meng Tian should play the leading role.
Meng Wu also said a few words and ordered the captain of the front army to set off first.
Ying Zheng came to Lu Buwei's side, cupped his hands and said, "I am about to leave Xianyang. I will leave it to Father Zhong."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xianyang will be in good order." Lu Buwei said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful when you go out."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Father Zhong, stay here."
After saying that, Ying Zheng jumped onto the carriage, waved goodbye to the ministers, and then moved closer to the central army of the Meng Family Army, still guarded by the imperial guards.
Lu Buwei and Meng Wu looked at the backs of Ying Zheng's team at the same time, but they had different thoughts in their hearts.
The army moved forward at a slow pace. It was not until noon on the second day that Lishan Mountain was faintly visible.
Since Meng Tian had already sent sergeants to seal the mountain, he could see a sentry post ahead.
The scouts from the former army had already entered the sentry post to deliver orders.
However, when passing the guard post, Ying Zheng discovered that there were very few soldiers at the guard post, only six or seven.
Ying Zheng asked why those soldiers were like this.
The leader of the centurion stood up and said: "Back to the king, it is said that a craftsman has been missing in the central military camp for several days, and there is still no news. The sentries everywhere have sent out manpower to look for him, but there is still no trace. "
"Someone is missing? Or is it a craftsman?" Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "What's the craftsman's name?"
"It is said that his name is Liu An." The centurion replied.
"Liu An?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise, "How many days has he been missing?"
"It has been three days since I returned to the king," the centurion said.
Ying Zheng looked gloomy and ordered the whole army to pass quickly, while he flew away with the imperial guards.
