It's exactly what Li Si said.
After the Dragon Clan launched the world-destroying disaster, they themselves also suffered quite serious consequences.
Moreover, the entire planet has been greatly affected. If a radical cure is not carried out, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The eggs led by dragons are different from the human race. At the very least, the human race still has the moon as a place to live.
And if the ancient star beneath our feet falls, then the entire egg race will completely lose its place to stay.
The disaster in ancient times was indeed an act of destruction, so while the dragons felt regretful, their desire to restore the natural source of power was even more urgent than that of humans.
After knowing this, Ying Zheng's view of the Dragon Clan changed slightly, so he asked: "Senior, will the Dragon Clan go back on their word again this time, or in other words, do something drastic in anger?"
After all, he will be the one facing the Dragon Clan in the future, so it is natural for Ying Zheng to inquire in detail.
"There is no absolute answer to this question. Not to mention those beasts, even humans sometimes do many irrational behaviors when they lose control of their emotions." Ji Fa said.
"That's right. Fortunately, the Dragon Clan has repented now. Otherwise, both sides would have suffered losses." Ying Zheng murmured in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by Twenty-Seven.
"However." Ji Fa added, "In this recent negotiation, the attitude of the leader of the Dragon Clan, Ao Yu, is sincere, and there is nothing false. Moreover, he promised to fully cooperate with us."
"Ao Yu?" Ying Zheng asked unconsciously.
"Well, this is the name of the current leader of the dragon clan. Their dragon clan all have Ao as their last name. According to us, it is their surname." Ji Fa said.
Ying Zheng nodded, remembered the name "Ao Yu", and then asked: "Senior, are you facing the entire dragon clan alone?"
"No, it's just Ao Yu himself." Ji Fa shook his head slightly and said, "The Dragon Clan easily hides its true appearance. Even most of the beasts in Jiuyou have not necessarily seen the Dragon Clan, so they added a bit more color to them. mystery."
Thinking about it, the people of Great Qin rarely see Ying Zheng.
"Isn't the Dragon Clan's temper bad?" Ying Zheng asked what he was most worried about.
"During the period when I was in contact with the Dragon Clan, I felt that it was okay." Ji Fa stroked his white beard and said, "Maybe it's because they have learned how to treat guests, or maybe it's because the Dragon Clan has become more stable. .”
At this time, Ying Zheng's stomach growled a few more times. Perhaps all the grilled fish he had eaten on the shore was consumed.
Li Si thoughtfully took a cloth bag from the side and handed it to Ying Zheng. It contained uneaten grilled fish.
Probably because his body was too empty, Ying Zheng was really hungry, so he took out the grilled fish and ate it.
Ji Fa and Li Si did not move, they closed their eyes and regained their spirits.
While Ying Zheng was eating, he was thinking about what he had just heard and the strategy he should implement.
After eating, Ying Zheng didn't want to disturb Ji Fa anymore, so he chatted with Li Si about home affairs.
Unknowingly, Twenty-Seven entered the churning red flow of magma again.
However, Ying Zheng's feeling was very natural and not affected at all, and he was not as irritable as before.
The return journey always passes quickly. After a few hours, Twenty-Seven finally approached the flaming eye of Lishan Mountain.
Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and said, "When I go back this time, I can appear in public, but my identity cannot be announced. You can tell the army that I am a descendant of the Zhou royal family and that I specialize in building tombs."
"Junior understands." Ying Zheng nodded slightly and asked, "Senior, do you have any other advice?"
Ji Fa thought for a while, and then said: "After returning to Lishan, you can go back to Xianyang to select the loyal officials you want to cultivate, and we can discuss future plans together. If you have an overall plan, come back to me to discuss it. "
"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "The direct minister chosen this time must be an envoy of heaven like Li Si."
"Exactly."
"Hehe, that's good." Ying Zheng was overjoyed, he hoped
I have been looking forward to this sentence for a long time.
Not long after, the three finally set foot on Jiuxiao's land again.
This feeling of returning to his hometown made Ying Zheng feel much more at ease.
It was noon at Jiuxiao time. The three of them all changed into clean clothes and returned to the army together.
Camp.
Seeing Ying Zheng back, the Meng family brothers, Jing family class and other soldiers were all very happy, but they were quite curious, who was the old man with the white beard next to King Qin?
Ying Zheng walked up to the ministers and raised his voice: "Everyone! In the past few days, I have visited an expert from outside the world, and that is the senior before us."
Everyone's eyes fell on Ji Fa.
Ying Zheng walked up to Ji Fa and continued with great respect: "This senior belongs to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. From now on, everyone can call him Senior Ji. It is said that Senior Ji has a deep understanding of the royal family's method of building mausoleums. From now on, he will Senior Ji will lead us in building the royal tomb."
Ji Fa took two steps forward with a smile, cupped his hands and looked around at everyone.
When all the soldiers saw that King Qin respected the white-haired old man in front of him so much, they naturally did not dare to neglect him, so they all bowed in return.
"In the future, Senior Ji will be permanently stationed in Lishan. If I am not here, then what Senior Ji says will be my words. If anyone disobeys me, it will be equivalent to disobeying me. Do you understand?" Ying Zheng raised his voice again. , said solemnly.
All the soldiers responded in unison: "I obey the king's order!"
Although most of them had their heads lowered, the expressions and swaying eyes of the ministers seemed to say: It seems that the origin of this old man with a white beard is definitely not simple, and should not be messed with easily.
After announcing what needed to be said in public, Ying Zheng looked at Jing Fan and said, "Jing Fan, please settle down Senior Ji first. From now on, you will be responsible for Senior Ji's daily life. You should also consult Senior for more advice on projects."
"I obey," Jing Fan responded, "Mr. Ji, please."
Ji Fa nodded, signaled to everyone, and then followed Jing Fan towards the back.
"Meng Tian, Meng Yi, come with me." Ying Zheng looked at the two brothers and said.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi responded and followed Ying Zheng into the tent. Li Si walked at the end. After entering the tent, they closed the door.
"Your Majesty, how are you these days?" Meng Tian asked anxiously when he saw that no one else was around.
"Well, I suffered a bit." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with a wry smile and said, "But it's okay, the gains are quite huge."
"What kind of strange treasure did your Majesty find again?" Meng Yi's curious eyes nearly burst into tears.
"We have found two rare treasures, but they have already been eaten." Ying Zheng thought of what happened after eating the Xuan Guo, and suddenly felt soreness in his lower abdomen again.
"Is it an elixir?" Meng Yi said.
"Haha, if you want elixir, I can give you some in the future." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"My lord, do you really have one?"
"certainly."
Except for the harem and Zhao Gao, no one else knows about Ying Zheng's refining of Linggu Pill.
"Okay." Ying Zheng sat up straight and became serious, "I asked you to come in because I want to hear your opinions on something."
The two brothers also sat up and raised their hands at the same time: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"The royal tomb we want to build is modeled after the tomb of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. You already know this."
The two brothers nodded.
"Although you have been to King Wu's Tomb of Zhou Dynasty, you have not really gone deep into it, and I have not been able to enter the final core place." Ying Zheng said, "If we do not unlock the core secret of King Wu's Tomb, , we want to imitate the royal tomb, it is simply a foolish dream."
"Didn't the king already find the pattern?" Meng Yi asked.
"The current drawings can only build the framework of the royal tomb, but cannot completely fill the interior. It still lacks many mechanisms and key props, especially dense stones." Ying Zheng said seriously.
"Dense stone?" The two brothers looked at each other.
"Yes, secret stone." Ying Zheng said, "Do you still remember that when we were in Longxi, Yiqu Gong Yutu once said that the Jingjue Society of the Western Regions made a very special kind of stone?"
"Remember." Meng Tian nodded and said.
"Could it be that this kind of secret stone is what Yu Tu is talking about?" Meng Tian asked.
"Exactly." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and then continued, "The dense stones used in building the royal tomb can only be made by Jingjue Kingdom. Therefore, I will be visiting Jingjue Kingdom in the near future."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Meng Tian patted his chest and said, "My two brothers are guarding this place, so there will definitely be no problem."
"Haha, I just issued this edict with the word "I", and you started to use it. Ying Zheng smiled and said, "However, I want to take you with me on this trip."
"That's right, how could the king go out so far without any guard around him?" Meng Yi glanced at Meng Tian.
"Oh, that's right." Meng Tian said, "That side of Lishan..."
"Leave everything to Senior Ji here in Lishan." Ying Zheng said, "This time we will go back to Xianyang first, and then we will send a letter. When everything is ready, we will set off again. Then we will have to go to Longxi first to bring the Come with Thorin."
"Okay." Meng Tian and Meng Yi said in unison.
"Go back and pack up. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." The two brothers responded and stood up to leave.
Only Ying Zheng and Li Si were left in the big tent.
"Your Majesty." Li Si moved closer to Ying Zheng, "Have you thought about the strategy that Master mentioned?"
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly and said, "I haven't fully thought about it yet. It's still just a prototype. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Li Si thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, what troubled the king the most before was giving up the kingdom after unifying the world. Since this problem is the most confusing, it must be quite difficult to implement it."
"This is true. If we don't have a detailed plan, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive." Ying Zheng said, "However, fortunately, there are still nearly thirty years to go. Within the time limit agreed with the seniors, it is enough to consider it. This is the matter."
This time, it was Li Si who shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't think so."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng leaned towards Li Si again and said, "Sir, tell me what you think."
Li Si thought for a while and then said: "Master, he wants the king to follow the example of the Tian family on behalf of Qi. This is the right direction, but the details cannot be ignored, because what the king wants to establish must be a A new country that is completely different from the past, and this new system must not only completely abolish the backward feudal system, but also assimilate the differences among the six countries.”
"After these systems were first established, they were soon taken over by an uncontrollable royal family. Then no one can guarantee how long this brand new system will survive. Perhaps the officials and nobles who are accustomed to the original system will revive the old system. .”
"So, even if another royal family really wants to take over the king's throne, the first prerequisite is that it can be controlled!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Sir, what you said is right. Now, among these direct ministers, which one do you think is the most controllable?"
Li Si smiled and said, "They are not suitable."
"Oh? Why?"
"Your Majesty, think about it, whether it is the Meng family, the Sima family, or even Wang Jian and others, no matter who it is, if they take over the king's throne, it is understandable that they are treason." Li Si analyzed, "Even if it is just a show. , the feeling of being criticized by the people will definitely make them troubled, and besides, they may not allow themselves to do this."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Ying Zheng frowned.
"However, Wei Chen has not yet made any concrete suggestions regarding the specific candidates and plans." Li Si said slowly, "However, please don't forget, Your Majesty, you still have a Taigong Ancestral Order, which is now in Lu Wen's hands. .”
"Well, I will think about this matter in detail. Before I go to Jingjue, I will definitely have an answer." Ying Zheng said with confidence.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, Wei Chen.
Waiting for the king to give the master a satisfactory answer. "Li Si said with a smile, "Fulfill the thousand-year plan promised by the king!"
On the way back, Ying Zheng not only agreed to Ji Fa's request, but also said that he would control the direction of China for thousands of years.
"Okay, this test question is not difficult for me."
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng took Li Si, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi to say goodbye to everyone and hurried back to Xianyang.
Before leaving, Ji Fa walked up to Ying Zheng and whispered: "Do you know why I am urging you to bring back the ice Gu?"
Ying Zheng shook his head.
"Stupid." Ji Fa said angrily, "Don't forget the mission in King Wu's Tomb. This time you will bring back the method of making secret stones, and I will take you into the core of King Wu's Tomb!"
Ying Zheng slapped his forehead and then remembered the unfinished task: "Senior, you must keep your word, but I still have to pay homage to the grandpa."
