After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Chen Ke immediately pretended to be sick.
"ah."
He lowered his head and looked a little pale: "Your Majesty, although I have not been in good health recently."
"But if His Majesty wants me to help Prime Minister Li, I will fight to the death."
Ying Zheng and Li Si looked at Chen Ke's appearance and immediately sneered.
Especially Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng pointed at Chen Ke's nose and laughed and cursed: "You slippery thing."
"If I ask you to help me, it's like killing you."
"How come I don't know that you haven't been feeling well lately? You just ate two bowls of rice!"
"Is this called uncomfortable?"
Chen Ke had a sad face.
"Your Majesty, I may have accumulated food, so I feel that my stomach is not very comfortable."
He gritted his teeth and said with determination: "I am willing to help Prime Minister Li, as long as Prime Minister Li doesn't feel that I am causing trouble."
Although he said this, Chen Ke's face looked as if he was about to die, which made people look ridiculous.
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, but he didn't follow Chen Ke's wishes.
Instead, he said: "Since you are willing, then go and help Li Si."
"I want to see the enshrinement matter completed as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng stood up, looked at the sky in the distance, and said with a little pride: "I also want to know."
"Mr. Tian thought of some way to deal with me."
"What kind of decision will Tian Cheng make?"
He chuckled lightly, but the killing intent in his laughter was immediately audible.
"I gave him a chance, he must not fail to cherish it."
After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Chen Ke immediately stopped the joke on his face and sat up straight.
"I accept your order."
Li Si glanced at Chen Ke and said with emotion: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's order and complete the matter of the Feng Chan as soon as possible."

Tian's Mansion
There are two lines of the Tian family in Qi, one is the main line, which is the royal bloodline.
At that time, the Tian family replaced Qi and drove the Jiang family from the throne and became the royal family of Qi.
After the main bloodline became the royal family, some of the side bloodlines became the "Tian family" in the country.
But now, the main lineage Tian family only has one Qi Hou left.
The branched Tian family no longer had much connection with the Qi royal family, so they escaped the disaster and became more and more prosperous.
It would be inappropriate to say that there is no relationship.
If calculated according to the seniority in the ancestral hall, the current Qihou should call the head of the Tian family "uncle".
Tian Quexiang looked complicated. He pressed his forehead, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a while, a figure slowly walked in from outside.
"coming?"
Tian Quexiang looked blank. He raised his head and put down what he was holding.
Tian Cheng looked calmer, as if he had no idea what Tian Quexiang was looking for.
"Your Highness, please do it."
Tian Quexiang poured him a glass of wine and sighed softly.
"Why did you hand over the information about Qi that your father left behind? And why did you force Wang Kan and others to die?"
Tian Quexiang knew the person in front of him very well.
Two days ago, a demonic wind blew in Qi County.
The First Emperor, who was on a southern tour, sent General Meng Tian to follow his nephew to arrest people everywhere in Qi County.
Most of the ministers left behind by his impudent brother were arrested.
Tian Cheng looked very calm. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Uncle, if this is not the case, how can that tyrant trust me?"
Tian Cheng squinted his eyes like a fox.
"Only in this way can he trust me, and then we can better assassinate the tyrant and restore the country!"
Tian Cheng held the wine glass in his hand, with veins popping out.
He looked at Tian Quexiang and said, "You should know better than me why I sent Wang Kan to die."
"If Wang Kan hadn't held on to the token and refused to give it to me, how could I have sent him to die?"
"Furthermore, if it weren't for Wang Kan, how could I have been assigned?"
Tian Cheng's expression looked extremely crazy.
His eyes were fixed on Tian Quexiang: "Now, I will give the things to Ying Zheng."
"Although Ying Zheng may not completely believe me, he must have let down his guard against me."
"If this time..."
Tian Cheng didn't finish what he said, but the meaning behind his words was obvious.
Tian Quexiang's hand in pouring the wine paused slightly. He looked at the nephew sitting in front of him and sighed quietly.
"But how can I trust that you won't betray us?"
Tian Cheng sneered: "Do you need to believe me?"
"Do you need to believe me?"
"I'm just here to tell you, don't implicate me when you assassinate the emperor!"
"I have my own plan!"
Tian Quexiang wrinkled, and the look on his face looked a little unhappy.
"You and I both belong to the Tian family lineage, why are we so clearly distinguished?"
He sighed and picked up the wine glass in his hand, as if he had completely believed Tian Cheng.
"In that case, let's work separately."
"I will appease those old ministers of Qi State for you and ask them not to disturb you again."
Tian Cheng sneered: "It's best this way."
He said frankly: "After I return today, I will meet with Ying Zheng immediately."
"Tell Ying Zheng that I am meeting you, and I will also tell Ying Zheng that you want to assassinate him."
Tian Quexiang didn't care at all.
"I know."
He raised his glass and celebrated from afar.
"Restore my Tian family's rivers and mountains, and may my Tian family lineage last forever."
.........
In the palace, somewhere in the side hall
Chen Ke was half lying on the ground, flipping through the books in his hands.
After a long moment, he sighed.
"Oh, why are there so many messy things???"
He scratched his head, feeling his head hurt.
After sitting up straight, Chen Ke looked at Li Si and said, "Brother Li, I have an idea. I don't know if it's suitable."
"Would you like to hear it?"
Li Si put down the book in his hand and looked at Chen Ke with a smile.
This is the time he has been waiting for.
Chen Ke, a person who can't be touched without prodding, would never have thought of a solution if he hadn't been brought over to work hard together.
"what idea?"
"Brother Chen, just say so."
Chen Ke collected his thoughts and said: "His Majesty is the First Emperor, and he is the first person since ancient times to be granted Zen status on Mount Tai."
"In this case, we should have no etiquette to learn from."
"So for most of the etiquette, we can figure it out ourselves."
"Although "Zhou Li" is decayed, it still has something to learn from. "
"Can we improve it on the basis of Zhou rites, add some Da Qin etiquette, and mix it up?"
He scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"I do have a complete idea of the Taishan Conferment Ceremony, and I will tell Brother Li about it."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ke mobilized the historical records in his mind.
He told Li Si everything about the Taishan Ceremony of Zen Enlightenment that Li Si had worked so hard to sort out in history.
The more Li Si listened, the more frightened he became.
Some of the etiquette mentioned by Chen Ke coincided with his own ideas, and the other part was something he had never thought of!
There was a sparkle in his eyes.
There are countless thoughts in my mind.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Ke's mind, and when Chen Ke finished speaking, Li Si already had a look of admiration on his face.
He thought silently in his heart.
As expected, Brother Chen is a person who can become a great talent if he is poked and moved despite adversity!
In order to stop himself from being busy, Brother Chen was able to think of such a neat and etiquette-based set of Taishan Ceremony!
Li Si looked directly at Chen Ke and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen!"
"The idea mentioned by Brother Chen is very good. It only needs a little modification and it can be used directly."
He stood up, pulled Chen Ke and walked towards the main hall where Ying Zheng was.
"Let's go and tell His Majesty!"
Chen Ke sat there motionless, with a slight smile on his face.
He pulled Li Si and said, "Brother Li, are you going to find His Majesty like this?"
Li Si looked confused: "What else?"
Chen Ke looked at Li Si with hatred: "Brother Li, how long has it been?"
"Half a day!"
"If Brother Li goes now, what are you going to tell His Majesty?"
A flash of thoughtfulness flashed across Li Si's face: "Let's just say that the inspiration provided by Brother Chen only needs a little trimming before it can be used."
Chen Ke shook his head and said with emotion: "Brother Li thinks about me, I am very touched."
"But I have to think about Brother Li."
"If you go now, your Majesty will doubt Brother Li's ability even if you don't say it."
"How could I get Brother Li into this situation?"
Chen Ke looked at Li Si with a sincere expression: "That's why I held Brother Li back."
"Let's wait for two more days. After two days, we will go to see His Majesty."
"I just said that I read ancient books with Brother Li, and then I got inspiration. During the conversation with Brother Li, I perfected the Taishan Ceremony."
"In this way, Your Majesty will not blame Brother Li."
Li Si was moved after hearing Chen Ke's words.
He held Chen Ke's hand, his cheeks flushed slightly, and there was a little emotion in his eyes.
"I dragged Brother Chen into the water and asked Brother Chen to work hard with me."
"But Brother Chen doesn't blame me, that's all. He actually repays evil with kindness."
"This is truly what Confucianism calls a gentleman's behavior."
Li Si bent down and saluted, with a look of joyful surrender on his face: "With the heart of a villain, I will save Brother Chen from the heart of a gentleman."
"Brother Chen is truly a true gentleman."
"It's worse than that."
Chen Ke looked at Li Si and quickly pulled Li Si up, with sincerity on his face.
"Brother Li, why do you need to be in such a posture?"
"You and I were officials in the same dynasty. When I was in disaster, Brother Li also spoke up for me."
"Brother Li and I have had a lot of fun talking these days, and I have already regarded Brother Li as a confidant in my heart."
"Why is this necessary? Why is it so important?"
Suddenly, Li Si was even more moved after hearing this.
Chen Ke also patted his arm, but he was thinking in his heart.
Now you won't look for me again and drag me into trouble, right?
Now you can finally take advantage of it, right?
Oh, he is such a good guy.
...........
palace
Ying Zheng's eyes twitched slightly as he listened to Dunruo's words.
"Dunruo."
"I always feel that what Chen Ke said is a bit strange. Do you think he meant it that way?"
