Chapter 15: One of the Nine Cauldrons is missing, the other eight are returned! "gentlemen." "We can finally go back." "Why do you look unhappy?" Coming back to his senses, Zhao Zheng looked at Shen Yue with a serious expression, feeling somewhat puzzled. "I don't think it's that simple." "The State of Zhao may not be so kind." Shen Yue said in a deep voice. "Perhaps it is the action of the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and then said. Listen to this. Shen Yue also nodded: "Besides this, I can't think of anything else."
"Get ready." "Anyway." “It still needs to be treated with caution.” Zhao Zheng nodded, with a strong yearning in his eyes: "I don't know what Daqin is like." "but." "From now on, we won't let mother and Afang suffer anymore." “I want to give them the best life possible.” In Zhao Zheng's heart. His mother and Afang are the most important people in his life. of course. And his teacher. "teacher." "Will you be in Qin?" Zhao Zheng thought secretly in his heart. …… Da Qin, Xianyang! Zhangtai Palace! Yingji lay on the bed, his old face full of fatigue and illness. The air he exuded was also somewhat decadent. perhaps. This is not a disease, but aging. It seems that no one in this world can break the limit of life span, except for the immortals and gods in the legend.
"Meet An Guojun." The servants outside Zhangtai Palace knelt down and shouted. Ying Zhu strode into the Zhangtai Palace with a serious expression. "Father." "problem occurs." Looking at Yingji lying on the bed, Ying Zhu said solemnly. "What's the matter?" Yingji leaned on the bed and glanced at Yingzhu. Having been king for so many years, his reign was second only to that of the founding ancestor of the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, Yingji's heart as a king would remain calm no matter what happened. "Zichu escorted the Nine Cauldrons and the Emperor's Seal back to Qin from Luoshui." "On the way, we encountered a storm, which caused the Luo River to surge, and there were also evil spirits." "Zichu was attacked by an evil spirit and is now seriously ill. The Yuzhou Ding, one of the Nine Dings, disappeared after the storm and seemed to have sunk into the Luo River." Ying Zhu said with a serious face. Hear this! Yingji's expression also changed slightly. Think for a moment. "The Nine Cauldrons are the symbol of the emperor's authority. If one of the Nine Cauldrons is missing, our Great Qin will only have eight." "This is not a good omen." Yingji's old face also had a solemn expression. Jiuding! The symbolic meaning is too great. It is a thing of great fortune and a thing to stabilize the country. For an emperor who regards the nine as the ultimate, missing even one of them would lead to disaster. "Father." "I have sent people to search along the Luo River, and they will definitely find the Yuzhou Ding." Ying Zhu said immediately. "Yes." Yingji nodded, then asked with concern, "Is Zichu okay?" "After the imperial physician's examination, Zichu is temporarily fine." “But after being eroded by this evil spirit, Zichu’s body has become weak. I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to recover.” Ying Zhu sighed. Yingji's expression also turned ugly. "Where are the emperor's seal and the eight tripods?" Yingji asked.
"Go back to father." "It has already been transported to the palace." Ying Zhu replied immediately. Before his voice fell. "Start the memorial, Your Majesty." "The eight tripods and the emperor's seal have been escorted back to the palace. Please make the decision, Your Majesty." A voice came from outside the palace. Yingji immediately lifted the quilt on his body and stood up somewhat weakly. "Father." "You are weak now, so you'd better rest." Seeing Yingji getting up, Ying Zhu immediately spoke with concern. "This is what the ancestral temple needs." "I will personally send you off." "Again." "These nine tripods were used to crush your uncle to death in the past." "If I don't see you once, I will die in unrest." Yingji sighed and walked slowly out of the palace. Ying Zhu immediately stepped forward and helped Ying Ji up. Outside Zhangtai Palace! Eight giant tripods appeared. There is a huge ancient character engraved on each tripod. These are not characters from any country in this era, but characters from ancient times. Jizhou. Yanzhou. Qingzhou. Xuzhou. Yangzhou. Jingzhou. Liangzhou. Yongzhou.
The only thing missing is Yuzhou. When Yingji walked out, he looked at the eight giant tripods. The old eyes were trembling, and even a trace of tears appeared. He walked forward and gently stroked a tripod with his old hand. This touch can make one feel the deep, invisible power contained in this giant cauldron. But for Yingji. It seemed as if he sensed the presence of his former brother. "Big brother." "Yingji, you did it." "Yingji succeeded in destroying the Zhou Kingdom that you failed to conquer in the past." "The Nine Cauldrons you wanted in the past, Yingji got them." "Rest in peace." "Yingji has lived up to your and father's expectations. The Qin State is now strong and powerful, surpassing other states." "Soon... Yingji will come to look for you and father." "Yingji, I miss you guys so much..." Yingji placed his hand on the giant tripod, his heart filled with deep longing. When people reach old age, their past memories appear in their consciousness like a passing show. Now. Yingji already felt that his end was approaching. It was worth it to be able to destroy the Zhou Kingdom and seize the Nine Cauldrons before dying. "Start the memorial, Your Majesty." "This is the seal of the emperor." A guard came to Yingji holding a box and opened it. It was the seal passed down by the Zhou emperor. Yingji stretched out his hand and held the seal in his hand. "Old days." "My great Qin ancestor Qin Ying was given an imperial decree with this seal, and was granted a non-existent fiefdom." "The ancestor was a man of both military and literary talents. He led his people into the western border, expanded the territory, and fought his way out of the foundation of our Great Qin."
"If it weren't for the jealousy of the heavens, perhaps under the hands of our ancestor, our Great Qin would have unified the world long ago." "And now." "The descendant Yingji did not disappoint the ancestor. This seal of the emperor was returned to Qin." "The Zhou emperor no longer exists." Yingji raised the seal in his hand and laughed. "Congratulations, Your Majesty." The guards around bowed and shouted. After laughing, Yingji put the seal back into the box. "The Emperor of Zhou." "How is he?" Ying Ji asked Ying Zhu. "I still live in Luoyi, stay in the palace with the door closed, and don't see outsiders." Ying Zhu replied. "This old thing." "You really don't know how to live or die." "If he hadn't joined forces to attack our Great Qin, how could the Great Qin have had the advantage of sending troops?" "He brought this upon himself." Yingji sneered. The Zhou Emperor Ji Yan did not take it seriously at all. The Zhou Kingdom today is completely different from the Great Zhou of the past. Ever since the collapse of rites and music, the world has long been different. "Pass on my edict." "The Eight Tripods and the Emperor's Seal in the Ancestral Temple." "Please prepare your carriage. I will go with you." Yingji said in a majestic voice. next moment. The serving eunuch immediately summoned the imperial carriage. Many guards took ropes and tools and began to transport the eight tripods back to the ancestral temple. …… PS: Please read my book, please recommend me, please vote for me, please give me monthly votes, please, please.
