Ying Zheng questioned Xiao Yi for a while, and then asked him and Si Tu to retreat.
Ying Zheng was the only one left in the study. He stood up, took a few steps, and then walked out.
Standing outside the door, Ying Zheng looked at the vast palace, the white clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky, and the sky tens of thousands of feet high, and felt very happy in his heart.
The supreme being in the world, one word can determine life and death. This feeling is really good. Of course, it would be better if you could live forever.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng called a young eunuch over and said, "Tell Huai Guzi to come see me tomorrow."
The young eunuch agreed and left in a hurry. And Ying Zheng strolled into the poppy palace...
The next day, Li Shui freshened up early, then got on the carriage and set off towards the palace.
Ying Zheng suddenly summoned him, and he knew without thinking that it must be about the elixir. Li Shui was thinking all the way: Time is running out and it's time to give the emperor something sweet.
When Li Shui rushed to the palace, he found that Ying Zheng was not in the study. A young eunuch took him to Poppy's palace.
In a large hall, Ying Zheng and Poppy were watching the dancer dance.
Fu Yao and Wei Yang are not here, this is the world of Ying Zheng and Yu Meiren.
After Li Shui arrived, Ying Zheng smiled slightly, pointed at a table and said, "Sit down."
So Li Shui sat down, feeling relieved at the same time: The atmosphere today was quite relaxed, maybe it was just a casual chat.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng and Li Shui said something irrelevant. When he said these words, he often ate and watched dances, and seemed absent-minded.
Li Shui had been waiting for Ying Zheng to ask about alchemy. Finally, half an hour later, Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Recently, I saw the fairy paper and the iron pot... You have already made a lot of them. It’s something incredible.”
"I know that you have been forgetting to eat and sleep recently and have spent a lot of thought on refining the elixir. Therefore, I will not rush you."
Li Shui was moved to tears and thought: The emperor is really kind.
After a while, Ying Zheng suddenly said: "I heard that Tian Jing is quite restless in Xianyang City. I want to kill him. What are your plans?"
Li Shui's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that this might be the purpose of His Majesty calling him here. The emperor wanted to kill someone but lacked an excuse, so he wanted to help.
Thinking of this, Li Shui felt a little aggrieved: Am I good at making up accusations?
He thought for a while and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to kill Tian Jing for the time being."
Ying Zheng asked: "Why?"
Li Shui said: "Now the powerful people from Guandong have just arrived in Xianyang. These people are like frightened birds, and they are fearful in their hearts. If Tian Jing is killed, they will be frightened and chilled."
"Some of them, such as Wei Zhang, are devoted to the imperial court and want to help His Majesty govern the world with their financial resources and wisdom."
"If Tian Jing is killed rashly, people like Wei Zhang will be saddened by the death of a fox, and they will inevitably become alienated. At the very least, it will make it difficult for our Qin Dynasty to recruit talents, and at the worst, it will make them develop a rebellious heart. It is really not worth the loss."
"If your Majesty really wants to kill this person, you need to wait for some time. Wait for the strong men from Guandong to return and wait for Tian Jing to commit the crime. At that time, he will be punished and he will be convinced to kill him."
"The powerful people in Guandong will only feel that our laws in Daqin are strict, but they will not feel that His Majesty is worried about them."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The opinions put forward by the banished immortal recently are all pertinent. They have obviously been carefully considered. They no longer act recklessly and recklessly. I am very relieved."
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Ying Zheng was indeed ridiculous. Li Shui did not advocate killing Tian Jing. He mainly felt that if Tian Jing's family was very rich, if he killed him now, all the money would belong to the officials. It's better to wait for him to make another fortune and turn Tian Jing into an empty shell, and then kill him later.
As for the separation of powerful people from Guandong, Li Shui was not worried at all. These people have entered Xianyang, and that is the meat on the chopping board, they can cut it how they want. The worst case scenario is to kill Tian Jing and give them some sweet treats to ensure that these powerful people will quickly forget about Tian.
As for Li Shui's thoughts, Ying Zheng didn't notice. He just felt that Exiled Immortal was becoming more and more mature. The people in heaven are indeed different. After becoming familiar with the political affairs of the human world, they actually get started so quickly. It seemed that it was right to entrust Fu Yao to him.
At this time, the dancers finished their song and retreated one after another. After a short break, another piece of music played.
As soon as Li Shui heard the music, he was stunned and couldn't help but look at the musician in the corner.
The musician held a strange-looking instrument in his hand. Li Shui had seen this thing a few days ago, listening to Mr. Gao play it at the Immortal Exile Tower.
Ying Zheng noticed Huai Guzi's movements, smiled slightly, and said, "Does the banished immortal also like this sound?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "I heard a song just a few days ago."
Ying Zheng asked with interest: "How?"
Li Shui scratched his head and said, "I don't know the music. It sounds like... there isn't much difference."
Ying Zheng obviously liked this tune very much, and said with emotion: "If this sound is played by a master, it will be so majestic that it will go straight to the sky. It will be like riding a dragon to the sky, flying proudly through the sky. Seeing all living beings, seeing the immortals first, seeing the heaven and the earth. I will never forget to leave. I don’t know where I am. The song is over, but the meaning is still unfinished.”
Li Shui was a little confused when he heard this: So awesome? There were still too few entertainment activities for the ancients. Even listening to a ditty would cause hallucinations.
Ying Zheng sighed with regret and said: "The musician in the past was too old and could no longer play that kind of beautiful music. I gave him the gold and returned it and sent him back to his hometown. As for the one today, he is too young. , I’m not skilled enough in terms of technique. However, I can’t find anything better.”
Li Shui was obedient.
He didn't understand what was so good about this thing, and Ying Zheng, a music enthusiast, really had nothing to say.
Ying Zheng soon discovered this, shook his head with a wry smile, and turned to talk to Poppy.
After having lunch in the palace, Li Shui slowly left the palace. He was not in a hurry to return to Shangjun Courtyard, but walked around Xianyang City.
Shangjun Courtyard has been a little deserted recently, and none of my friends are here. Ticket revenue is plummeting, and that's not okay. I have to visit all my old friends, we can’t let the relationship get divided...
It was a coincidence that no matter whose house they went to, their servants said that the master was not at home. I don’t know if it’s true or false.
Li Shui didn't care and left a greeting note for each family. If they knew etiquette, they would have paid a return visit to Shangjun Courtyard. Until then...hehe.
However, when Li Shui walked to Li Xin's house, he found that Li Xin was not there either.
Li Shui suddenly felt puzzled: Li Xin shouldn't be avoided by others.
Steward Li Jia said: "My master has gone to the Exorcist Tower."
Li Shui was a little helpless: "If you want to drink with me, why go to the Exorcist Tower? I never make money from my brothers."
Li Jia said: "It seems that I went not to drink, but to listen to music."
Li Shui was even more puzzled: "Listen to music? Go to a restaurant to listen to music?"
Full of questions, Li Shui arrived at the Immortal Exile Tower. As soon as he entered, Li Shui heard a burst of music.
Li Shui took a look inside the Exorcist Tower and found that there were many people gathered here, and there were twice as many customers as usual. Almost all the courtiers who looked familiar were there.
Li Shui called a waiter over and asked, "What's going on?"
The guy said cheerfully: "Sir, you were drinking with Guandong Haoqiang here a few days ago, and there was a servant named Gao who served the dishes. I felt the immortal energy in your body, and suddenly you became enlightened..."
Li Shui was a little speechless. Who did this guy learn from? He talks so much about cheating.
He waved his hand and said, "Tell me the important point."
The waiter yelled and said: "Didn't the man named Gao perform a song that day? As a result, the powerful people from the six countries praised him and praised him to the sky. Many dignitaries came to our Exorcist Tower just to listen to his song. .”
"Now everyone doesn't call him by his name, and calls him Mr. Gao respectfully. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really enviable for a waiter to have such an opportunity."
Li Shui interrogated for a while and finally knew what was going on.
Mr. Gao played a piece that day, but Li Shui didn't hear anything about it. However, the heroes of the Six Nations were very knowledgeable, so word of mouth spread, and Mr. Gao became popular.
Wang Laoshi keenly seized the business opportunity and launched the "drink fairy wine and listen to music for free" project. Now Mr. Gao no longer has to serve food, so he can concentrate on playing music.
As for what music to listen to, it is decided by the rich and powerful who pay the most. As a result, both the dignitaries of Xianyang and the nobles of the six countries began to compete for financial resources here. It’s normal to spend a lot of money to compete for a piece of music.
In the past few days, the Banished Immortal Tower has been making a lot of money just by selling wine. As for the reward money from the powerful, the restaurant and Mr. Gao split it half and half.
Li Shui nodded with emotion: "This Wang Laoshi is really a genius."
He walked upstairs and saw Mr. Gao playing music. Not far away, there were many dignitaries and powerful people, drinking and listening, looking very intoxicated.
Li Shui searched and found Li Xin, pulled him out, and asked in confusion: "You also like to hear this?"
Li Xin shook his head: "I don't quite understand."
Li Shui was helpless: "Then why are you joining in the fun? Do you want to pretend to be elegant? Join Chunyu Yue's family and become a doctor?"
Li Xin rolled his eyes and said, "You think I want to come? Wang Laoshi invited me here. I drink for free when I come, and I still have money to take."
Li Shui was even more surprised: "Is Wang Laoshi crazy?"
Li Xin said: "I don't drink for nothing. When there are few people, I make up the numbers to make Mr. Gao seem more popular. When there are many people, I make a fuss. Especially when the dignitaries compete with each other to order songs." I am responsible for fanning the flames and getting them to spend more money."
"Damn it, this is the Navy." Li Shui couldn't help but praise: "This Wang Laoshi is really a genius." Baidu reads the latest chapter of "I was a master in the Qin Dynasty" for free for the first time.
