After hearing Chen Ke's words, Ying Zheng burst into laughter.
He walked to the yard and stood there without anyone following him.
When Fusu returned to the palace, he went to see Hu Hai and wanted to see how Hu Hai's studies were going during the time he was away from home.
Sitting down somewhere casually in the yard, Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "I don't know what the difference is between the snow in Penglai and the snow in Xianyang."
"But I know that after you went to Penglai, Xianyang lost a lot of fun."
There was some emotion in Ying Zheng's voice, and this was indeed coming from his heart.
Since Chen Ke went to Penglaizhou, he has lost one person in Xianyang with whom he can chat more or less.
In other words, it was not that the First Emperor was missing such a person, but that Ying Zheng was missing such a person.
There are only a few people in the world who can be friends with him and can chat with him.
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng with some relief and relaxation in his expression.
He felt the same way.
Where are his old friends in Penglaizhou? Speaking of this year, I haven’t said as much as the first month, right?
Both of them were lying on chairs under the eaves.
At this time, the Fengchang Mansion was already burning with the coal brought back by Chen Ke, and the craftsmen who Chen Ke had stayed here had already designed things like floor heating.
Therefore, the temperature under the eaves is not too low.
"Your Majesty, I have already arranged everything in Penglaizhou."
"General Li Xin is there, waiting for Mr. Hu Chuan and Mr. Jingyang to take action."
"As long as the two of them dare to take action, these borers can be completely wiped out this winter."
Ying Zheng just glanced at Chen Ke and did not follow his words.
He just said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, what are we talking about about government affairs?"
He half-closed his eyes, unable to see the joy in his eyes.
"Kuan Yangjun hasn't sent me a message yet, so he just asked me to wait."
"Let's see if we can rescue one or two people from the clan, so that they don't all die in this turmoil."
Although Ying Zheng's words were light and airy, the murderous intention contained in them could not be hidden at all.
There is a message revealed in this.
Even if everyone in the Qin clan died due to this turmoil, Ying Zheng would not hesitate!
Chen Ke was slightly silent. He actually didn't want to talk to Ying Zheng about such a cold topic as soon as he came back.
So he changed the subject obediently and said, "I wonder how Brother Li is doing?"
He sighed for a long time and said lightly: "Before I left, the nine-grade official system that I discussed with Brother Li has been formed, but I don't know if it has been taken out now."
Ying Zheng sneered.
In front of Chen Ke, he acted very relaxed.
"You still have the nerve to talk about this. After you leave, everything will fall on Li Si."
"Although this old guy likes power and likes to do these things, he is getting older after all."
"If I didn't have someone watching over me all the time, I'm afraid you, the guy, would have to come back to me early and be my right minister!"
….
Chen Ke blinked slightly, looking very innocent.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
"Shouldn't it be decided by the Prime Minister and His Majesty that things like the official system are related to the foundation of a country?"
He chuckled and said, "What's more, those who are capable work hard, and those who are capable work hard."
"Brother Li is so capable. Isn't it natural that he should handle these matters?"
"If this is left to me, is that okay?"
Ying Zheng was lying on the chair. He had not been so relaxed for more than a year. When he suddenly relaxed, his whole mind became dull.
"You kid, you just like to be lazy."
"It's already this time, why are you still thinking about being lazy?"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and looked at Chen Ke, his expression somewhat lonely: "Chen Ke, you often tell me that there is no immortality in this world."
"Do you think I am still young now?"
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "I was born in the first month of the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang. It is already the winter of the second year of the First Emperor, and it will soon be the first month of the third year of the First Emperor."
"I am getting older day by day, how much time do I have left in this world?"
There was a rare loneliness, helplessness, and sadness in Ying Zheng's voice.
He pointed to the mountains and rivers in the distance and said, "Chen Ke, your strategy is as good as God's."
"When I was young, I didn't live a good life in the Zhao Kingdom. I have old illnesses in my body."
"In the past few years, I have been obsessed with the path of "seeking immortality". "
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "Do I still need to talk about this matter?"
"What exactly is the so-called immortal elixir?"
In the year since Chen Ke left Xianyang City, he did not give up on this matter. Instead, he ordered several of Hou Sheng's disciples to continue studying it.
Only this time, what he asked them to study was not the "elixir", but the poison in it.
This is really a matter that is easy to study. The refined elixir is given to a death row prisoner to take, and the "things" contained in the elixir are aggravated.
The prisoner died suddenly after taking it for less than half a year.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke deeply: "I finally know why you have never dared to tell me directly before that there are no immortals in this world."
"Are you afraid that I will lose hope and cause chaos in the world?"
"Or maybe become violent?"
As soon as these words fell, Chen Ke's heart trembled.
No matter how gentle and benevolent the First Emperor is, he is also the First Emperor, the first First Emperor to unify China in thousands of years.
The first truly unified person!
The first person to unite the world into one country!
For such a person, if he really loses all hope before dying, how terrible will it become?
Chen Ke's silence also corroborated Ying Zheng's words just now.
There was also a hint of silence in Ying Zheng's eyes.
He looked at Chen Ke gently: "Why worry? I'm not that kind of person."
Ying Zheng stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. At this time, the snowflakes in the sky were still falling, and they fell on his black robe.
"I am the First Emperor. When I first thought about "Second Emperor" and "Eternal Emperor", I thought about my own life span. "
….
He smiled bitterly: "I just didn't expect it might be so soon."
"do you know?"
"In fact, there are times when I really want to destroy this world, this world. After all, I am going to die, so what's the use of keeping him?"
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Chen Ke, you gave me hope and how broad this world is."
"I have been sitting here for many days, but I cannot bear to destroy this world."
He walked up to Chen Ke and looked into Chen Ke's eyes, with a bit of bitterness in his dark eyes.
"But, there are too many things I haven't finished yet."
"The Xiongnu in the north, the Baiyue in the south, even the newly discovered Yin Shang Continent, and the countries in the Western Regions further west."
"The world is too big."
"I want to see the vastness of this world and its scenery, Chen Ke."
Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly red: "But I don't know if I still have time to see it. How many years do I have left?"
He took Chen Ke's hands and said, "Chen Ke, can you let me see it?"
At this time, Chen Ke felt bitter in his heart. He looked at Ying Zheng's obviously gray hair and his body that was no longer young.
What should the First Emperor look like when he was young?
Last year, when they climbed Mount Tai together and went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, the First Emperor was not like this.
Why did it become like this in just one year?
He shook off his robe, knelt slightly on the ground, and looked at the not tall First Emperor standing in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to do my best to present these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to Your Majesty! See all the scenery in the world!"
Ying Zheng's hands trembled slightly. He looked at Chen Ke and helped Chen Ke up.
"Get up."
There was guilt in his tone: "Actually, I don't want to force you. I know you are a lazy and casual person."
"It's just that I have no choice..."
"Chen Qing."
At this point, Ying Zheng's voice was filled with a little bitterness.
Chen Ke felt even more sour in his heart. The first emperor who swept the world, the majestic first emperor, and the first emperor who dominated the world was really old.
The day when the original First Emperor died came to his mind again. In the thirty-seventh year of the Qin Dynasty, he died of illness in the sand dunes.
If you count it in terms of days, it is already the twenty-eighth or even twenty-ninth year of the Qin Dynasty.
It was only seven or eight years before the First Emperor died of illness...
Time flies so fast, has the current Shi Huangdi revealed his illness?
Now that the world is so vast, how could the First Emperor, the founder of the Qin Dynasty, fail to see the beauty of the country?
Chen Ke's eyes were filled with endless flames.
He wanted to bring the world into his pocket and let the First Emperor see the beauty of this country.
Not only because of the First Emperor's tolerance towards him, but also because of the letters from the First Emperor in previous years, including this year when he was not around, urging him to "put on more clothes when the weather is cold."
You treat me as a countryman, and I treat you as a countryman!
Chen Ke looked at the First Emperor sonorously and forcefully, with firmness in his voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"I will definitely use the shortest possible time to handle all matters within the court."
….
"In March next spring, I will be able to take care of all the matters in Penglaizhou. At that time, I will go to Northern Xinjiang and kill the Xiongnu together with Han Xin and General Meng!"
"At this moment next year, I will present to Your Majesty the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu!"
"Within three years, I will definitely sweep Baiyue for Your Majesty! Turn Baiyue into the granary of Great Qin!"
He looked at the First Emperor, with some conviction in his voice: "Your Majesty, you must take care of your health when you are in Xianyang. I know a set of boxing techniques that can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
"I originally planned to hand over this boxing technique to His Majesty in two years, but looking at His Majesty's current health, I can no longer delay it."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will go to the palace to teach your Majesty this boxing. As long as your Majesty insists on getting up every morning to exercise, there will definitely be no impact on your lifespan!"
Listening to Chen Ke's sonorous and powerful voice, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with confusion, but it disappeared after a moment.
He looked at Chen Ke and smiled softly: "Okay."
"I am waiting for you to present me the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu!"
After the two said a few more words, Ying Zheng left, while Chen Keku sat in the courtyard, looking at the snowflakes dancing in the sky.
Although it was cold inside the courtyard at this time, Chen Ke's heart was hot.
Ying Zheng treated him well. Now that the First Emperor's body was in this state, how could he still dawdle and be lazy while fishing?
He wanted the First Emperor to see the Great Qin Sea and the Yangtze River clear before he left, and the world would worship him!
Chen Ke closed his eyes slightly.
Now that the rest of the basic things are done, let’s move forward!
The economic base determines the superstructure, and productivity determines the economic base!
Chen Ke stood up directly
He stood up and said directly: "Get me a car, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Office!"
.........
As soon as he left the palace, Ying Zheng had a slightly guilty expression on his face.
He looked at Han Tan who was already suppressing a smile beside him, and touched his nose with a rare guilty conscience.
"Han Tan, am I overacting?"
"Why does it feel like Chen Ke feels like I'm going to die, so why is he so excited?"
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and touched his hair. There were some traces on his hair, and Ying Zheng's hands were all a little gray.
"Ahem, don't tell me, this thing Xia Wuqi gave me is really useful."
After feeling guilty for a moment, Ying Zheng said happily: "That boy Chen Ke is usually too lazy."
"Now let him move more and do more work. It's okay."
Ying Zheng chuckled: "Let's go, let's go back and see what those two traitors are doing."
Han Tan followed Ying Zheng, and the chariot was heading towards the palace.
.........
Yichun Palace
At this time, in Yichun Palace, Fusu was sitting in the palace, looking at Hu Hai with surprise on his face.
"I didn't expect that, Brother Hai, I thought that during the year that the teacher and I were away, you should just run away from your schoolwork and stuff."
"I didn't expect that not only did I write my homework seriously, but I also made progress so much."
Fusu said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in just one year, Brother Hai, you will grow up."
Hu Hai looked dull at this time, he was not happy about these things.
He just smiled and said: "I am getting older day by day, can I still be the same as before?"
"Now I just did what I should do, brother, you don't need to praise me too much."
"only....."
Hu Hai said with hope on his face: "When can the teacher enter the palace?"
"After this year, I have accumulated a lot of questions that I want to ask the teacher."
Fusu counted the days in his mind and said, "About two days?"
"After all, the teacher has come back. In a few days there will be a great court meeting. Before the great court meeting, I will definitely meet my father and Feng Jie in the palace."
"The teacher really likes what Feng Jie brought back, and he really thinks it is very important."
...........
Prime Minister's Office
Li Si looked at Chen Ke in surprise: "What did you just say?"
ps: The first update will be delivered, and the second update will be at around 9:30 or 10 o'clock in the evening. It’s a big update, about 6k.
