Ying Zheng stood tall, his clothes and sleeves flying slightly in the autumn wind.
He looked at Ji Heng carefully, and was a little confused about Ji Heng's thoughts, and said: "With your talent, if you become an official, you will definitely make great achievements in Da Qin, why don't you become an official?"
Ji Heng's face remained as usual as he walked leisurely in the courtyard and said calmly: "There is no way to have both worlds in the world. If you gain something, you must give it up."
"There are great changes between Zhou and Qin."
"This great change is from top to bottom, initiated by the Great Qin Chaotang. Therefore, the Chaotang is the center of the current change. Once you step into it, it is like entering the game. If you are in the game, how can you stay out of it? ?”
"I'm afraid it will be no different from Li Si and others."
"The benefits that come from one's own initiative are the most moving in the world."
"But once there are entanglements of interests, many things are out of your control."
"I don't want to get involved in the turbid whirlpool of the court. I can guard my own breeze and bright moon, and look at the world's hundreds of people and everything peacefully as a bystander. Perhaps it is far more comfortable and safer than being in the middle of the game. No distractions.”
Seeing how clearly Ji Heng saw it, Ying Zheng nodded with emotion and said, "Being in the middle of the situation and not knowing the situation is an appropriate description."
"You are really a smart man."
Ji Heng smiled and said:
"It's not really smart, it's just about protecting yourself."
"And whether you are smart or not depends on people and circumstances."
"I was indeed tempted to become an official, but I gave up in the end."
"Perhaps there is some timidity in my heart."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and then sighed: "If all the court officials could understand this, the world would not be in such a difficult situation."
"After all, there are only a few ministers in the DPRK who can assess the situation and truly serve the country with public interests."
"After all, we can't get rid of the entanglement of interests."
Ji Heng was noncommittal about this.
Ying Zheng said: "Since you don't want to be an official, I won't be embarrassed."
"I will send someone else to protect you."
"If you need it on a daily basis, you can give orders to the officials around you."
Ji Heng nodded and said, "Okay."
"But don't appear in my sight. I don't like people walking around in front of me."
"Besides, don't worry."
"I will not leave Xianyang."
"I am a dead person, and my limbs are not working hard. If I leave the city, I may not even be able to make a living. The city can still satisfy me with a basket of food and a ladle of drink. This is enough for me."
"also."
"I have my own rules."
"The relationship between me and Da Qin is not subordinate, it is just a transaction from beginning to end."
"If you need it, bring some wine!"
"Next time your young master comes, remember to make up for the wine you drank this time."
"The rules cannot be broken!"
"Okay, I got it." Ying Zheng laughed, as if he felt a little weird about being asked for wine. He turned to look at Ji Heng and smiled: "The next time Fu Su comes, I will make up for the wine this time. .”
"You tell your rules."
"I make my decision."
"There won't be an easy interaction between the two."
A smile also appeared on Ji Heng's lips.
This is a deal.
A deal that both of them were happy with.
Ji Heng's smile faded and he said slowly: "If you are willing to believe me, you can send someone to the prison to take away the few prescriptions I have carved on the stone wall in the prison. It may be beneficial to your body, at least for example. The medicine stone refined by the warrior is useful and may help you live for a few more years."
"But I can't predict the effect."
Ying Zheng's face suddenly sank, and he stared at Ji Heng with a gloomy expression. He finally calmed down and said coldly: "I want to know the reason."
He stared at Ji Heng with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Ji Heng completely.
Ji Heng's expression remained normal and he said calmly: "Saving you is also saving me."
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold, but he finally nodded and said, "You are too smart."
"I don't like scheming. The scheming comes over and over again. In the end, my whole life ends like this. And if you can scheming against others, others can't scheming against you. I don't like this kind of life." Ji Heng sighed and continued: "I am right. I don’t care about power, fame or fortune, I just have ideas about revolutionizing the world.”
"If you hadn't insisted on letting me continue to live, I wouldn't even want to get involved in the world."
"But since I have died once, I should live a good life for the common people. If I have the opportunity, I should also practice what I want. I actually also want to see what the world will be like after this troubled times ends. Where will the change that I have been thinking about eventually lead to?"
"Where will we stop?"
"As for you, you hope that the world will remain unchanged forever, but you are deceiving yourself and others."
"It's not realistic at all."
"But how the world will change and in what direction it will change, each has its own merits. If it can lead the way for the ages, it may be regarded as a legacy for the ages."
"I, Ji Heng, am not talented, but I still want to try."
Ji Heng's passionate words echoed in the courtyard, but the surroundings were as quiet as a deep valley.
"Do you think you can see it?" Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng with his hands behind his hands.
Ji Heng shook his head and said simply: "It is probably a blessing to see the end of the troubled times in this life. It is simply unrealistic to want to see the country change, the governance style change, the livelihood change, and the people change."
"My life..."
"Maybe he won't live long!"
Ji Heng smiled bitterly, looked at his body, and finally sighed.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything. He looked at Ji Heng a few times and agreed a little more with what he said, "Life is short."
Ji Heng's talent is too evil, and his destiny will eventually be ruined.
Think of this.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel sad.
He looked up at the stars in the sky, with strong indignation in his eyes.
But it eventually turned into calm.
His eyes became firmer.
It is better to move the white-headed heart than to fall into the blue clouds.
The sound of wind grew louder all around.
Ying Zheng didn't ask again, and Ji Heng didn't speak again.
Amid a whimpering sound of wind, Ying Zheng's figure gradually disappeared into the silent courtyard.
Ji Heng stood there, looking at Ying Zheng who had disappeared, and there was something he still didn't say in the end.
When the king is in twilight, internal worries are greater than external ones.
It's just that he is not suitable or qualified to say this sentence.
Ji Heng raised his head and looked at the sky calmly.
The starry sky is still the same starry sky, but some things have changed.
He stood with his hands behind his hands and said softly: "Since ancient times, human feelings have been followed by feudal stories for a long time. I want to shake the world's ideas and people's hearts, but I don't know if I can do it."
"I can only do my best."
"If you can't, if you can lead the world's direction and speed up the world's progress, it can be considered a good deed for the world."
"It's just that I don't know how long this road will take."
Ji Heng walked slowly.
He didn't have much expectations for what he was going to do.
I don’t dare to have too many delusions.
Even he himself doesn't know what will happen in the end.
You can only do your best.
At some point, he had returned to the house.
The candles in the house were completely extinguished, and the whole house fell into darkness.
In the middle of the night, a strong wind blew up.
But it did not wake anyone who fell asleep.
The next day, it was sunny!
