Wang Ping's voice was indifferent and emotionless, but General Pi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
To be honest, he also felt that it was a bit excessive for Meng Tian and Fu Su to salute an ape and use elegant words.
The so-called elegant words are the highest etiquette in Zhou rites.
There were rituals and music in the Zhou Dynasty. The Duke of Zhou incorporated rituals and music into the system, starting from all aspects such as food, daily life, conversation, etc., and included every move of the people in the world into the ritual system.
This move is highly praised by the world and has far-reaching significance. Until later generations, Zhou Li still regulated people's every move.
For example, when a father dies, the son must observe filial piety in front of the deceased, and pay homage to ancestors during festivals and festivals, which are the remaining rites of the Zhou Dynasty.
According to Zhou etiquette, nobles need to use elegant words in solemn occasions.
That is to say, they use verses from ancient books such as "The Book of Songs" to express their meaning in a subtle way.
For example, Meng Tian sang "Beishan" and said that the whole world is not the land of the king. It means that as a king's minister, I have to do the king's affairs diligently. It's not my intention to offend, but it's the king who ordered me to do this.
When Fusu sang "Pheasant", the meaning was to compare the other person to a beautiful woman. He was thirsty for talents, but he didn't know where the beautiful woman was, and he was confused and confused. Maybe I am too greedy. I am eager to see you and want to find you.
This is also called singing reward, which is the highest courtesy. Those who are not virtuous do not deserve to receive it.
Judging from what General Pi saw, Meng Tian was the general of the Qin Dynasty and Fu Su was the young master. It was really incomprehensible for people to perform such a great ceremony to an ape and sing in elegant words.
However, it won’t make the two of them prisoners directly!
"Second uncle, why is this?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Just talking about the things of gods and immortals, you have to be punished, and you have to go through Tingweisi!" He lowered his head and said.
Wang Ping glanced at the young general coldly.
This general was specially brought into the army when he was appointed by the First Emperor.
He is the son of his eldest brother Wang Ben, Wang Li!
Wang Li has been fighting in the army with his father since he was ten years old. The Wang family has high hopes for him.
At that time, Wang Jian was a famous general in the world. People compared him with Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, saying, "A ruler is shorter, but an inch is longer."
Bai Qi is famous all over the world. It is a huge compliment for a general to be on par with Bai Qi.
However, behind the halo of famous generals, there is Wang's dilemma. After Wang Jian retired to seclusion because of his old age, the world commented that Wang was "none more famous".
On the one hand, this is because Wang Ben also went into seclusion with Wang Jian after destroying the Six Kingdoms. On the other hand, it is because Meng Tian is too popular.
After all, the Huaxia and the Xiongnu have been mortal enemies for thousands of years. Meng Tian stationed in the northern border for several years, chasing people to the north, and the northern border was finally safe, and the people in the north missed him deeply.
Meng Tian went to the northern border, and now he has returned to the court with great achievements and is famous all over the world. Although the Wang family is also a general, compared to the Meng family, she is extremely lonely.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son retired to seclusion. Wang Ping was the only one left in the Wang family, and he only served as a small captain. He had no military merits and was completely incomparable to Meng Tian's 300,000 troops.
Fortunately, there is still Wang Li.
Wang Li "has little reputation for bravery" and is "intelligent", which is more reliable than Wang Ping's so-called famous general who earned his reputation by being "stupid".
The only problem is that although Wang Li is brave and wise, he has no overall perspective!
In the words of later generations, he has no political wisdom!
A general and the eldest son of the First Emperor were suddenly put into a chariot and the other was restrained in a light chariot. Although they looked better on the outside, in fact they were almost the same as being imprisoned in a chariot.
This kind of thing is really easy to surprise.
However, since this is the metaphorical order of the First Emperor, even being surprised is an offense to the First Emperor!
Not to mention questioning!
Tingweisi?
The so-called Tingweisi is Li Si who is currently in charge of Tingwei. He is responsible for the execution of nobles. If we look at it in terms of responsibilities, the crimes of an internal historian, Jiuqing, and a prince must indeed pass through the hands of Li Si.
However, under the authority of the First Emperor, what was Li Si?
"General Wang Bi, do you believe that there are immortals in this world?" Wang Ping called Wang Li's official position indifferently.
"I wonder if the captain can be trusted?" Wang Li did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
It's normal for young people to be a little arrogant. Moreover, Wang Ping didn't care that his nephew also received military honors from his father.
He said indifferently: "Of course I don't believe it."
"I don't believe in gods, gods, strangers, or alchemists!"
"But..." Wang Li wanted to refute, after all, today's beast tide was witnessed by everyone. Moreover, Ling Wu had already informed about the strange person stepping on the rainbow before, and there were also witnesses from Chu and even the one hundred Qin soldiers before.
However, Wang Ping didn't give him a chance to speak, and directly waved his hand to stop him.
"This is all ridiculous talk!" he said without any doubt.
"Because the First Emperor thinks this is ridiculous!" He looked at Wang Li meaningfully and said.
Wang Li was slightly stunned, and he instantly understood what his second uncle meant.
Wang Ping's meaning is obvious. It doesn't matter whether he believes in immortals or alchemists. The important thing is that the First Emperor didn't believe it!
The First Emperor said that all the gods and alchemists were liars, so they were liars!
The First Emperor said that Mengtian and Fusu were guilty, so he was guilty!
This world belongs to the First Emperor!
"Here!" He bowed his head in obeisance and quickly ran towards the opposite side of the valley.
Wang Ping squinted his eyes, and a strange light shone in his eyes.
He just had a point, but because there were too many outsiders, he didn't make it clear to Wang Li.
The Wang family and their youngest son Hu Hai are natural allies!
The reason is that the young master Fusu has Chu blood, and Wang Jian is the one who destroyed Chu!
Fusu's maternal grandfather, the last king of Chu, Changping Jun, died at the hands of Wang Jian!
Who can guarantee that if the First Emperor cannot live forever and Fusu takes over the throne, will old scores be settled?
The First Emperor was worried, and so was the Wang family!
The First Emperor was also aware of Wang's worries, so he allowed Wang to take charge of the army again. The first thing he did after taking charge of the army was to monitor Fusu and Mengtian, and even detain them. This was not without suppressing Fusu and strengthening Hu Hai's strength. Deep meaning!
And this is the true meaning of Wang Ping.
Nothing matters in this world.
What the First Emperor thought was most important!
"Captain!"
A call awakened Wang Ping from his deep thoughts.
He raised his eyes and saw that Wang Li had bowed before him again, but Meng Tian and Fu Su were nowhere to be seen.
"Captain," before Wang Ping could ask, Wang Li took the initiative to speak, "When they reached the sky, the general and the young master had already tied themselves up, saying that they knew they were guilty!"
"In addition, the general and the young master have two requests from the captain." Wang Li continued.
"What's the matter?" Wang Ping sounded a little surprised.
"First, please allow the captain to allow the general and the young master to personally keep the things they have obtained in the residence of heavenly beings!"
"Second," Wang Li raised his head and looked at Wang Ping, "Please ask the captain to drive in a light vehicle to Langya quickly. It would be best if he could be escorted directly in a light vehicle!"
"Why?" Wang Ping's expression moved slightly.
"The general told the young master," Wang Li said with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "the heavenly beings have gone to Langya, but the First Emperor is also in Langya!"
"If we delay, we may conflict with the First Emperor and heaven and man!"
