Ying Zheng entrusted Lishan to Ji Fa and returned to Xianyang with a few troops.
Along the way, Ying Zheng remained silent, as if he had been thinking quietly about something. He only spoke to others when the entire army was resting and eating.
Back in Xianyang, Ying Zheng briefly handled the government affairs, then walked into the secret room alone and began to think deeply again.
At the court meeting the next day, after finishing the political affairs, Ying Zheng ordered Sima Jie, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wei Liao and Li Si to come to the study.
"Zhao Gao, close the door, and then you come and sit." Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao responded, closed the door, and sat next to Li Si.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ying Zheng, and they all knew that King Qin had gathered these people together, obviously to discuss something.
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I have gathered you here because I have something important to announce, and it is so shocking that it must be hard for you to believe it and imagine it."
"This is a huge secret. It is not only about the safety of the country, but also about saving the entire world. If any of you don't want to participate, please do it yourself."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Your Majesty's words are too outrageous. Others dare not say that the lives of the two Meng brothers have long been your Majesty's." Meng Tian was the first to say.
"Yes, the king said this because he no longer regards us as brothers." Meng Yi continued.
Sima Jie also said: "Since the King is going to do something grander, we will follow him and we will definitely not retreat in spite of the difficulties."
"That's right." Wei Liao said, "It's a dream for me to be able to participate in this."
Zhao Gao was about to speak, but was stopped by Ying Zheng: "Okay, I understand what you are thinking, but what I want to say is really unbelievable. You must be mentally prepared, and you must manage it well in the future. You must never reveal anything about your words to others.”
Everyone looked at each other again and nodded in unison.
"Okay, follow me to the secret room."
Everyone stood up and followed Ying Zheng into the largest secret room.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng opened the secret compartment, took out a golden sword first, and then laid it flat on the table.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the shiny sword blade.
It is said that women are not immune to gold, and men are no exception.
"Some of you have seen this golden sword." Ying Zheng stroked the dazzling sword and said, "And its true origin seems to be known only to Li Si. I have never dared to mention it."
"Now I will tell you its origin. This golden sword was a peerless sword forged by Huangdi after mastering the method of making "my weapon". He mixed gold into the alloy and used that superb forging process. The famous sword is named Xuan-Yuan-Jian! "
Although they had a premonition when they heard Huang Di, when the last three words "Xuanyuan Sword" came out of Ying Zheng's mouth, everyone present staggered and almost fell to the ground.
There was a clang, and the sound of metal friction passed through my ears.
Ying Zheng pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "But this Xuanyuan Sword was not found in the secret room in Lishan Mountain, but was found in the Mausoleum of King Wu on the second floor."
Everyone straightened their bodies again, their eyes fixed on the golden sword in Ying Zheng's hand.
"I think everyone has heard of a legend." Ying Zheng took a piece of brocade and wiped the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Whoever gets this sword will win the world. And later Yao, Shun, and Yu all got this sword, and they all really won it." He became a generation of emperors."
"So, the king will definitely unify the world and become a king in the future?" Meng Tian said in surprise.
"In terms of the result, this may be the case, but..." Ying Zheng paused and said, "In terms of understanding this legend, the world's logic has been deliberately reversed."
Meng Tian and Sima Jie widened their eyes, thinking about Ying Zheng's words.
"The so-called ancient emperors actually did not come across this sword through robbery or chance.
. Ying Zheng slowed down and said, "The real situation is that they inherited the relevant bloodline and were awarded this sword!"
"It's the same if I get this sword!"
The secret room instantly became quiet, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Ying Zheng looked around and had the most direct communication with everyone's eyes.
And everyone's reaction was indeed different.
Meng Tian was quite excited, and seemed to be a little more loyal to Ying Zheng.
Meng Yi was similar to Sima Jie, his eyes were quite psychedelic and he seemed to be still in shock.
Zhao Gao opened his mouth wide and shook his head again.
Wei Liao was relatively calm, as if he had expected it.
Ying Zheng flicked the sword, focusing everyone's attention in one place.
"Lu Buwei once made a guess. He said that the control of the country, that is, the inheritance of the Xuanyuan Sword, is taken turns by the descendants of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang. He asked scribes from various countries in the palace to compile "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" in order to find out about the widow's life experience. The mystery."
"Oh, by the way, you don't know about this yet. The widow's mother is actually a member of the Zhou royal family with the surname Ji. She has the blood of Emperor Yan. Back then, she was deliberately arranged to marry Lu Buwei. As for the previous king, the surname Ying is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, so I am a candidate who has the qualifications to inherit before I was born."
"I wonder if you can understand this explanation?"
Historically, all countries have regarded the succession rights of monarchs as extremely important. Not only the bloodline, but also the difference between descendants and descendants, as well as the distinction between elder and younger, are extremely important.
Therefore, it is not difficult for everyone to understand the inheritance of blood. The only difference is that the descendants of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang take turns to sit on the throne.
Seeing all the ministers nodding their heads one after another to express their understanding, Ying Zheng added: "Those with this inheritance qualification are called Heavenly Successors, and the responsibility of the Heavenly Successors is not only to unify the world, but also to restore peace to the people. "
"Meng Tian, Meng Yi." Ying Zheng looked at the Meng brothers and said, "After I ransacked Lu Buwei's house, I took you to the Treasure Pavilion of Lu Mansion, and you should have seen the most well-protected Jiuding in there. Alright."
"I have seen it." Meng Tian responded, "At that time, none of the ministers could believe that it was the legendary Jiuding, let alone that it was actually hidden in our Qin country."
"Yes." Meng Yi added, "When I saw Jiuding, I... I was so scared that I couldn't speak."
"Haha, I believe you all know what the Nine Cauldrons are." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "The Nine Cauldrons are the symbol of the royal power of the Zhou royal family. They are the supreme treasure of the entire China, and they are an ancient relic passed down from Dayu."
Everyone is naturally familiar with the status and origin of Jiuding.
"But what you don't know is that one of the responsibilities of the Heavenly Successors of all ages is to learn to refine the Jiuding and use it to control the hidden dangers hidden deep in the land beneath our feet. If hidden dangers occur frequently, then Lands and lands collapsed, and floods raged."
"The legend that Yu the Great built the Nine Cauldrons to control the floods comes from this."
"And the Jiuding now in the Lu Mansion was the one Lu Buwei was instructed to bring back to the Qin Kingdom after destroying the Great Zhou Dynasty. One day, he would hand it over to me personally."
"And you don't seem to know Lu Buwei's identity... He is the 23rd great-great-grandson of Jiang Taigong of Qi State in the early Zhou Dynasty."
"His mission is to help everyone grow."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who could still sit still stood up one after another, but their movements were slightly trembling.
"Your Majesty." Meng Tian's voice trembled a little, "Are you sure you're not telling a story now?"
"You are not joking." Ying Zheng said seriously.
"This... is really incredible." Sima Jie murmured.
"Haha." Ying Zheng sneered, "Looking at how hopeless you are, this is just the beginning. If you can't stand it anymore, how can you help me achieve great things in the future?"
Several people trembled at Ying Zheng's words and temporarily suppressed the fear in their hearts.
But is this just a warm-up?
More revelations to come?
Ying Zheng put the Xuanyuan Sword back into its scabbard, and then took out the Black Iron Snail and several bronze boxes.
"You have all seen this black iron snail. It is the key to the tomb of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, and it can also be used to find many minerals." Ying Zheng gestured and said, "These bronze boxes contain all the inheritance from the past dynasties. The great works of our predecessors, including Shennong Jing, Huangdi Jing, Lianshan, Gui Zang, Zhou Shu, etc., are the most complete versions of the inheritance stored in the tomb of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty."
"If you are ready to hear more exciting stories, then I am about to tell them."
Ying Zheng's words eased the tension of several young people. Although many things had already broken their understanding, the facts were in front of them and they couldn't help but believe it.
Especially the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who usually stay with Ying Zheng, have seen many strange and strange things, and their curiosity is quite strong.
"Your Majesty, just say it, we can bear it." Meng Tian took the lead and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please speak." Everyone responded.
"Then everyone, sit down and listen.
I speak slowly. Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal.
Everyone took their seats again.
Ying Zheng took a sip of water and began his story.
Starting from the trip to Jiuyou a few days ago, Ying Zheng talked about the existence and origin of Jiuyou, the existence of the dragon clan and the battle with humans, and why ancient times caused great floods and interrupted civilization. Let's talk about the revival of Eastern civilization since Fuxi, and now the responsibility of the Heavenly Successor falls on himself.
The only thing that was not mentioned was Ji Fa's identity.
Except for Li Si, the mouths of the few people present had not been closed, and some of their saliva dripped on the ground.
After telling all the stories, Ying Zheng let out a long breath, as if he had released all the pressure by telling the secrets in his heart.
It was quiet, there was still no sound of breathing, and no one seemed to be able to even feel their own heartbeats.
At this time, everyone has to sort out this series of secret histories that transcend cognition.
Meng Tian, who had been thinking calmly for a long time, finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, are you telling these things today just to find someone to express your feelings to?"
"Haha, this is natural." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I tell you these secrets, naturally because I want you to join the Tiancheng lineage and help me with all my strength, but I don't know if you are willing."
"I do." Wei Liao, who is the inheritor of Guiguzi, seemed to know some inside information and was the first to say loudly.
"I would like that too."
"My whole family is willing to do it."
The last one, Sima Jie, actually brought Sima Hong with him.
"Okay!" Ying Zheng stood up, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Since you are all willing to follow me, we will work together from now on and vow to help the world and save the world and the people!" Ying Zheng said loudly.
"Help the world, save the world and benefit the people!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Ying Zheng looked around at the ministers and said, "Senior Ji is my respected teacher. He suggested that I follow the strategy of the Tian family on behalf of Qi, and after restoring the natural source of power, hide the family and secretly save the people from disaster. So, In the past few days, everyone has been thinking of corresponding solutions."
"How to make decisions in this world, I don't have a complete plan yet, but for this thousand-year plan, I have a rough plan."
"For your descendants, you must leave the ancestral teachings. Once China is divided into four kingdoms, one of your families must stand up to unify the world and restore peace to the people!"
"The tribe of the widows is also in this group. Since Zhao Gao has no descendants, the Ying family was renamed the Zhao family and was led by Zhao Gao."
"For the sake of convenience, everyone now wants to have a country name, so that descendants of various ethnic groups will not compete for it."
Sima Jie had a quick mind and took the lead in saying: "The ancestors of the Sima family were born in the Jin Dynasty. If the descendants of the future generations
If we unite the four seas, let’s call it Jin.”
"Okay, Jin!" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao next to Sima Jie and asked, "What about Wei Liao?"
Wei Liao cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen's real name is Cao, and he is from Daliang, Wei State. If future generations have this opportunity, they will be called Da Wei."
"Well, that's right." Ying Zheng thought for a while and then said, "This first unification still needs to be adjusted. The descendants of the two of you will cooperate with each other. No matter which side becomes the king, the other side will give full support."
"According to the king's order!" The two responded in unison.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si again and asked, "What about sir?"
Li Si smiled slightly and said: "Li's ancestors lived in Chentangguan, so the country name of future generations should be called "Tang". "
The country name of the descendants of Li was designated as Datang.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao again and said earnestly: "Zhao Gao, I have handed over most of the blood of the Ying family to you. In a hundred years, there will be no more Ying family in the world, only the Zhao family. From now on, you will be Hu Hai's teacher. I know that your ancestors are from the Song Dynasty, so the title of this generation will be called the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng with tearful eyes and nodded vigorously: "I will definitely live up to the king's command!"
Finally, the Meng brothers are left.
Meng Tian took a step forward and said: "I just listened to the king's words, and I was filled with emotion. Then I realized that the land under my feet is called Guxing. The Meng family does not want to give up their ancestral name. In the future, the country will be called Mongolia. Bar."
"Okay!" Ying Zheng said solemnly, "The Cao family's Wei name, the Sima family's Jin name, Li Tang, Zhao Song, and Mongolia have all been decided. Then after we have unified the world, we will send you to the east and west. The four directions of north and south, and no matter what chaos the Central Plains becomes when it arrives, you must not come back to rescue."
"Understand?"
