As Zhao Gao said, people's hearts are high but they still want to be high.
There will never be a day when you are satisfied.
No matter how kind the First Emperor was to them, those remnants of the Six Kingdoms would still not be satisfied.
This is just like when making a ppt, the blank area accounts for 61.8% of the page, which is in line with the golden ratio, and it is just right.
No one likes to see text and images filling the screen at any time.
The same is true for people's hearts. It is not good to give too much, and it is not good to give too little. Just the right amount is the most perfect.
Therefore, it is impossible for the First Emperor to change his national policies for the sake of these remnants of the Six Kingdoms who want to assassinate him.
Nor will they anger the people of the Six Nations because of them.
As long as the majority of the people of the Six Kingdoms accepted Qin's new policy, the First Emperor felt that this national policy was successful.
"Your Majesty, the ships of the remnants of the Six Nations have been found. They are disguised as fishermen and fishing ahead!"
Dun Rui walked up to Ying Zheng, raised his hands to him and said.
Ying Zheng stood on the top floor of the building and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a fishing boat floating in front of him. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Such clumsy means are enough to show that there are really not many people left in them."
"Your Majesty is aware that these remnants of the Six Kingdoms are indeed worse than before..."
Dun smiled weakly and agreed.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said calmly: "Maybe it's not that he is not as good as before, but that he has figured it out and gone to another place!"
"Your Majesty means..."
"I heard that there are a lot of people around that kid?"
"this...."
Dunruo hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully: "As far as I know, the young master has a lot of people around him!"
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Who is there?"
"In addition to the previous Zhang Liang, there are also Han Xin, whom Your Majesty knows, and the newly joined Xiao He, Chen Ping, Lu Wan, Cao Shen and others."
"Xiao He?"
Ying Zheng was stunned: "Didn't he refuse the transfer from the imperial court?"
Dun smiled weakly and said, "I refused before, but then I was convinced by the Young Master's four words."
"What four sentences?"
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"
"!
! "
Ying Zheng was suddenly startled.
Even Zhao Gao on the side couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and began to chew carefully.
The greatest virtue of heaven and earth is that it gives birth to and nourishes all things and gives vitality to all things. This reflects the benevolence of heaven and earth.
Human beings are the ones who have the most compassion for the benevolent people of heaven and earth and love for things. Therefore, the heart of the creatures of heaven and earth is most fundamentally reflected in the human heart.
This human heart is also a kind heart and a benevolent heart.
When Mencius talked about the "four principles", he started with "compassion" because people's kindness is based on compassion and they have a heart of compassion.
Only other emotions such as shame, resignation, and right and wrong can be expressed.
Therefore, "the heart of heaven and earth" is "the benevolence of perfect virtue".
This sentence alone makes people awe-inspiring.
To provide livelihood for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations... Thinking of this, Zhao Gao's body began to tremble slightly, and he calmly raised his eyes to look at Ying Zheng.
After a while, Ying Zheng clapped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful! These words are very ambitious!"
"Your Majesty is aware of this!"
Dunruo held up his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "Young master's words are no less than those of the sages. When I first heard it, I felt a sense of shame beyond compare!"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally and said, "That boy really has a way of persuading people. Even I was persuaded by him several times."
"but."
After saying that, he paused and said seriously: "It is best to report these four sentences to me and let all my ministers see it. From now on, I will examine myself and seek peace for all people in the world!"
"promise."
The weak and respectful promise was made.
Zhao Gao on the side was greatly shocked.
Is Your Majesty trying to make Young Master Hao famous all over the world?
If these words were regarded as a standard by all the people in the world, wouldn't Zhao Hao become a saint?
Oh, yes!
Now that Zhao Hao has become a saint, he probably doesn't have a share in the position of prince...
After all, the king of a country should consider the interests of his own country, while a saint should consider the interests of the world.
You can only choose one of the two.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
However, before he could express his joy, Ying Zheng added nonchalantly: "I'll keep this in mind as my teacher, don't let that kid get the limelight!"
Zhao Gao: "..."
Your Majesty is too stubborn!
How can anyone plagiarize other people's words and still make arrangements with such confidence?
As if he had read Zhao Gao's thoughts, Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the fishing boats floating in front of him. His voice was as erratic as a dream, and he said: "This man will not be tired after hiding for one day, but he will be tired after hiding for ten days. Be careful for a year." It’s not difficult, it’s difficult to be careful all your life..."
Zhao Gao: "..."
He paused weakly: "..."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Ying Zheng suddenly smiled: "The human heart is like water!"
This was obviously meant for Zhao Gao.
Because Zhao Gao had discussed the human heart with Ying Zheng before.
However, he didn't expect that Ying Zheng would talk about what was in his heart. He was so panicked that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned: "What's wrong with you?"
He originally wanted to deceive Zhao Gao, but he didn't expect that this piece of shit Zhao Gao would take the initiative to admit his mistake.
This surprised Ying Zheng and at the same time, his face darkened.
However, Zhao Gao showed an attitude of "I am a dead Taoist friend, I am not a poor Taoist" and took the initiative to confess to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I shouldn't hide this from you, the young prince..."
"Your Majesty, be careful, there is a big dragon fish approaching!"
Before Zhao Gao could finish speaking, a burst of rapid shouting suddenly came.
Then, I heard the sound of drums all around.
"Dongdongdong——!"
The drums beat like thunder and the shouts shook the sky.
"Big dragon fish!"
"There's a big dragon fish!
! "
Is the big dragon fish coming?
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't care about Zhao Gao on the ground and quickly leaned over to look.
I saw a giant dragon fish, more than ten meters long, with a white belly and black fins, rolling in huge waves and approaching towards the building ship.
In an instant, the Iron Eagle Guards who followed him rushed out, drew their swords, cocked their crossbows, and waited beside Ying Zheng.
[In view of the general environment,
At this time, Li Si rushed out with all the ministers and shouted loudly: "Protect Your Majesty!"
"What are you doing to protect me?"
Ying Zheng frowned and turned to look at Li Si: "Does Li Tingwei know about this giant dragon fish?"
"Returning to your majesty, a doctor once said: The water god is invisible, waiting for the big fish and dragon."
Li Si raised his hands in panic.
This means that it is difficult to see the water gods, and they often use big fish and dragons as scouts.
Ancient people were afraid of large things.
Especially the creatures in the deep sea.
Even these Iron Eagle Guards, who were armed with sharp weapons, couldn't help but feel thirsty and nervous when facing such a huge creature for the first time.
But Ying Zheng behaved unusually.
He looked intently at the big dragon fish in the water, then took out a drawing from his arms, compared it carefully, and found that the two were identical. After a while, he smiled and said, "My son has never been to the sea in person, but he knows that the big dragon fish The complete picture of the fish is truly a divine being!"
"oh?"
Li Si on the side asked Ying Zheng thoughtfully: "Master, do you know what this giant dragon fish is?"
"He said it's called a sperm whale. It has ambergris in its body, which is a rare spice. He asked me to get him some to make perfume. He also said that this sperm whale's whole body is full of treasures. I'd like to get him some meat to try!"
"Master, do you want to eat a giant dragon fish?"
Li Si was so shocked that Linex froze, and said tremblingly: "This is the water god scout..."
"What a water god scout, you really believe there are gods in the world!"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at Li Si and said to himself that I don't cultivate immortality and don't believe in anything.
"Zhao Gao, bring me my bow and arrows. Today I will bend my bow to shoot the big fish!"
Obviously, Ying Zheng has also watched the movie "The Legend of the Heroes of the Withering Heroes".
However, his words really shocked the ministers and the Iron Eagle Guards around him.
You know, these Iron Eagle Guards are the warriors of the Qin Dynasty who kill without blinking an eye.
Even they were afraid of the giant beast of the deep sea, and His Majesty actually wanted to shoot it.
crazy!
Your Majesty is absolutely crazy!
"Hahaha!"
When Wang Ling saw Ying Zheng bending his bow to shoot the big fish, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay! The old minister is coming too!"
Ancient bows and arrows were generally difficult to pull.
Ying Zheng took the one-meter long bow from Zhao Gao's hand and drew it to full capacity without saying a word. The strength seemed to be the same as before, leaving Li Si and others stunned.
However, before they could react, a golden barbed arrow flew out with a "swish", making a sound of breaking through the air, and shot into the sperm whale's head with great accuracy.
"Buzz buzz—!"
A mournful sound, unique to the sperm whale, suddenly spread.
Huge waves, following its tail fin, kept hitting the side of the ship, causing the entire hull to almost collapse.
Seeing Ying Zheng shoot the first arrow, the Qin navy, which had been eager to take a shot, set up their powerful crossbows and aimed at the sperm whale in the sea.
"put!"
The navy general gave the order, and in an instant, "dark clouds" gathered above the sea.
The dense rain of arrows fell down instantly, as if for free, and went straight to the sperm whale's head.
You know, Great Qin's crossbows are very powerful.
The effective range of the powerful crossbow is up to 800 meters. It uses copper alloy arrows, and its lethality is extremely powerful.
As for the Great Qin Navy, everyone is well-trained.
Seeing that Ying Zheng dared to shoot a giant dragon fish, they had nothing to fear.
Suppressing the fear in their hearts, each one was full of energy. When they advanced, they were devastating, and when they retreated, they were as solid as a rock. They went back and forth alternately, and soon dyed the sea bright red.
After about half an hour, the giant dragon fish, which seemed invincible to humans, completely stopped making any movement.
Ying Zheng dropped the long bow in his hand, laughed heartily, and then said to Wang Ling: "Pull it up to the deck, I want to see his whole face!"
"promise!"
Wang Ling agreed and ran down excitedly.
It took another half an hour before a "medium-sized" sperm whale, which was more than ten meters long and about four meters wide, was pulled onto a large warship by hundreds of Great Qin naval forces.
In order to accommodate this sperm whale, many warships were dismantled.
Not long after, the building ship where Ying Zheng was located took the initiative to approach the warship and looked down at the sperm whale above from a high altitude.
"This big dragon fish is really plump..."
The ministers didn't expect that Ying Zheng's first words when he saw the big dragon fish were like this, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
But Ying Zheng ignored them at all and said to himself: "It is said that the dragon fish oil lamp boiled with the fat of the dragon fish will last for thousands of years. This lamp can be used in my mausoleum to accompany me to sleep... "
"this....."
Everyone was confused again, wondering why His Majesty suddenly knows so much?
In fact, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the ancients had records of shooting whales.
For Da Qin, shooting whales is not difficult, especially with
The Qin army, armed with such sharp weapons as heavy-duty crossbows, could easily kill a "medium-sized" sperm whale that was more than ten meters long.
Seeing everyone standing there dumbfounded and helpless, Ying Zheng immediately called on everyone to deal with the sperm whale.
The fat is first collected, and then the dragon fish oil is boiled. Most of the fish meat is then cut off and frozen in the cabin.
A small amount of fish meat is used to cook delicacies, such as sashimi, pickled fish, and fish bone soup.
When it comes to food, a certain foodie wrote a food guide of eight hundred words. Ying Zheng didn't need to think too much before he arranged it for the royal chef on the ship.
The royal chefs looked at the mountains of whale meat, their eyes widened, and they were all dumbfounded.
But the order of the First Emperor is heaven, and even if you don’t know how to cook whale meat, you have to cook it.
So, in less than two hours, four large ships, one large ship, and nearly 3,000 people had their lunches filled with whale meat.
One bowl per person, full of collagen.
It cannot be replenished any more.
"I didn't expect...the chopped dragon fish head is so delicious!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel happy after taking a bite of the chopped dragon fish head.
This was the first time he had eaten chopped dragon fish head, and it was indescribably delicious.
Li Si on the side was also full of praise: "What your Majesty said is true. Although the meat of this dragon fish is old, it tastes like beef..."
"Yes, there is also this kelp. I didn't expect that there are such delicacies in the sea. It really opened my eyes!" Feng Quji echoed.
The other ministers also expressed their opinions.
But I heard someone laughing and joking about Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty still knows how to eat and knows everything..."
"How can His Majesty know how to eat? It's clear that the Young Master's food strategy is reliable!"
"Hahaha!"
All the ministers burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
Ying Zheng didn't care about their rudeness.
After all, eating dragon fish meat requires courage for them.
Before eating, they were all very resistant.
If Ying Zheng had not "taken the lead", they would not have eaten the dragon fish meat even if they were killed.
But after eating, everyone was filled with joy.
This trip to sea is definitely an unforgettable experience for them.
Shooting giant dragon fish and eating their flesh were something they would never dare to think about before.
Now, not only do they do it, they do it very well.
This is something to be encouraged about.
Ying Zheng was also very satisfied with their performance.
only.....
Just now he was bending his bow to shoot fish, and it looked like he was back in his dream, but in fact, he missed his old waist.
After all, he hadn't practiced for a long time, and he felt something was wrong as soon as he exerted his strength.
Fortunately, no one noticed that he had flashed his waist, otherwise it would have been extremely embarrassing for him.
It would damage his reputation as the First Emperor.
Seeing that the ministers were eating so much, Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Gao and said with a smile: "After we dock, remember to send someone to give that boy some whale meat so that he can have a taste!"
After Zhao Gao heard this, he was about to accept the promise and retreat, but suddenly he heard Ying Zheng remembering something again and said, "Send some to Meng Tian too!"
"......promise."
Zhao Gao hesitantly agreed, and at the same time, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, which passed quickly.
Sending dragon fish meat to Mengtian, doesn’t it mean that even Fusu can enjoy it?
Has His Majesty not given up on Fusu yet? !
