Chapter 202 Father and Son Talk at Night! King Mu of Zhou? Queen Mother of the West? Immortality?
Faced with a sudden question.
Zhao Feng was a little confused.
But the moment he came back to his senses, Zhao Feng waved his hands repeatedly.
"Your Majesty."
"The king can just think about this kind of thing. I don't dare to talk too much."
"And I remember that the king also asked me last time." Zhao Feng said helplessly.
The last time I came back, I had a drink with Ying Zheng in Zhangtai Palace. At that time, Ying Zheng asked me once.
But last time he was more tactful and asked which of his many sons was better.
But this time, he directly asked who can be the prince.
Zhao Feng wanted to answer.
None of your sons has a big responsibility, not even Fusu.
only.
It's better to keep these words in your heart. Don't look at the King of Qin who is so kind to you, but if you really touch his taboo, you may fall out.
"how?"
"None of Gu's sons are promising?" Ying Zheng still had a smile on his face.
"this……"
Zhao Feng could only show hesitation, which was also a kind of euphemism.
Look at Zhao Feng's expression.
Ying Zheng didn't get angry at all: "Yes, it would be great if Ru Ruogu's sons could be half as good as you."
"Then there's no need to worry."
Ying Zheng looked emotional.
"Your Majesty."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"The king is still in his prime, so there is no need to worry too much."
"Now we have to look at the world first."
"The three Jin Dynasties have been destroyed, leaving only the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Yan."
"As long as the remaining three kingdoms are destroyed, your Majesty will be the number one king in history." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
Ying Zheng picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and then said with a bit of ridicule and a bit of heartfelt tone: "It would be great if you were Gu's son."
Listen to this.
Zhao Feng was shocked all over.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Majesty, don't say such nonsense."
"If those censors hear this, they might say something."
Seeing Zhao Feng's rejection-filled look, Ying Zheng was frightened in his heart, and then asked in surprise: "What? You still dislike being an orphan son?"
"Your Majesty, stop joking."
"I don't have royal blood." Zhao Feng laughed.
If you are the son of Qin Shihuang, then you are really burning incense. Doesn't that mean that the future Great Qin Empire will be yours.
only.
Zhao Feng was very sure.
Absolutely not myself.
He was born in a sand dune, but he has no connection with the Qin royal family.
Moreover, there is no record in history that Qin Shihuang had any lost heirs.
Seeing Zhao Feng like this, Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing more.
This sentence may also be the impression that Ying Zheng left on Zhao Feng.
After the world is unified in the future and everyone recognizes each other, Zhao Feng will not be so unexpected.
"I heard it alone."
"Li You and your sister are very close, right?"
After Ying Zheng took a sip of wine, he asked suddenly.
There was even a hint of jealousy in his words.
Looking at Ying Zheng like this.
Zhao Feng felt excited in his heart: "Qin Shihuang is not really interested in my sister, is he? That's not possible. At such an old age, I don't want to."
Think of this.
Zhao Feng immediately said: "Chen's sister has very high standards. Li You just showed his friendship for Chen's sister, but Chen's sister doesn't have much thought."
After his sister went to Yunzhong.
Li You would look for him almost whenever he had time, and Zhao Ying was also very upset.
certainly.
The pursuit of Li You.
Zhao Feng didn't care either.
After all, my sister is not young anymore.
In this era, Zhao Ying is already the mother of several children at her age.
but.
Everything still depends on your sister's choice.
If she doesn't want to, no one can force her. As the eldest brother, Zhao Feng can guarantee this.
only.
Zhao Feng didn't expect that the reason why Ying Zheng was so concerned about this matter was naturally because Zhao Ying was Ying Zheng's daughter.
Among the accompanying military doctors.
But there are dark warriors from the Black Ice Platform.
These people were ordered to protect Zhao Ying, and everything Zhao Ying encountered was directly reported to Ying Zheng.
For Li You's pursuit of Zhao Ying.
As an old father, Ying Zheng naturally still has some taste.
Just like his son Zhao Feng, he also regarded his daughter Zhao Ying as a treasure. At this moment, Li You was like Huang Mao riding a will-o'-the-wisp in future generations, harassing his innocent daughter.
This makes Ying Zheng not angry.
It's just that he can't show it now, which makes him even more angry.
"You don't object?" Ying Zheng was quite surprised.
"If Li You can really catch up with Ying'er, that's his ability."
"As long as Ying'er likes her, I will naturally not object."
"certainly."
"If Ying'er doesn't want to do it, I will definitely support Ying'er with all my strength, and no one can force her." Zhao Feng said with a firm tone.
These words also express the importance he attaches to his sister.
This era was not friendly to women. There were not a few ordinary people buying and selling their daughters, and there were even a few big families who married women.
It is almost impossible to find your right husband by yourself.
But Zhao Feng is willing to create such opportunities for his sister.
Since he was promoted to the captain of the guard army, many families in Xianyang City have sought marriage, but Zhao Feng has undoubtedly blocked them all, and they have also made bold promises to the outside world.
It is up to her to choose her own sister's ideal husband, and no one from the Zhao family will interfere.
Looking at Zhao Feng's attitude.
Ying Zheng, who was originally a little jealous, also nodded: "You are right, as long as Zhao Ying likes it, it is enough."
"I didn't expect the king to be so open-minded." Zhao Feng smiled.
"Gu, that's how it is." Ying Zheng held up the wine bottle and laughed.
"Your Majesty."
"Nothing else to say."
"I would like to offer you a drink, Your Majesty."
Zhao Feng lifted the wine bottle and bowed to Ying Zheng in front of him.
"What are you doing to respect me?" Ying Zheng smiled, but also mentioned the wine bottle.
"Your Majesty, I respect you for your trust."
"If he were an ordinary king, I would definitely suppress him violently if he and his father-in-law had military power, but the king is completely different."
"This is worthy of respect."
"certainly."
"I will not disappoint the king." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Have you ever thought about the future?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.
"Which future does the king refer to?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.
"After unifying the world." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Hear this!
Zhao Feng was a little thoughtful, and then said: "The king is talented and has great strategies, and he is kind to me and my father-in-law's family, but I am not one of those people who don't know how to advance or retreat. If the world is unified, I would like to ask for orders to guard the land of Baiyue and serve as the shepherd of the Qin Dynasty. One side.”
Ying Zheng frowned, with a hint of displeasure: "Do you think Gu is the kind of king who has no tolerance for others?"
certainly.
For Ying Zheng.
He still felt that Zhao Feng was really overthinking and worrying about him too much.
The land of Baiyue, what a wild land it is.
Staying there is tantamount to self-deprecation.
"The king is so talented that no one can match him." Zhao Feng replied immediately.
There is actually another sentence after this sentence.
But what about the queen?
For Zhao Feng.
In the future, either Fusu or Hu Hai will succeed.
In the end, he couldn't be tolerated.
Especially Fusu.
Perhaps he was benevolent and generous, but it was precisely his benevolence and generosity that allowed him to be checked and balanced. He had to be led by the nose by the courtiers who supported him, and in the end he could not get rid of it.
It's not that Zhao Feng doesn't trust Fusu's ability, but that he really can't do it.
He is not as decisive as an emperor, and he is not as domineering as an emperor.
The emperor pays attention to controlling his ministers, and Fusu can show from this moment that he is checked and balanced by his ministers at every turn.
Because of the current relationship between Zhao Feng and Wang Wan, after there is no war, those people will not let go of themselves or even the Wang family.
This is the case with court and rights.
As for Hu Hai?
Then there is no need to say more.
He is even worse than Fusu. If we evaluate the most stupid and incompetent emperors in history, Hu Hai is definitely among the top five.
one way or another.
Guarding Baiyue is the best choice. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so you can accumulate strength.
Even Zhao Tuo can separate one side from another, let alone Zhao Feng.
When the time comes, guarding his Wu'an camp in Baiyue, he will be able to sweep the world. This is Zhao Feng's confidence in his warriors.
"What you mean by this is that Gu's successor is not good enough and cannot be tolerated." Ying Zheng naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Feng's words directly.
"I didn't say anything."
"This is what the king himself said." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
But this scene.
It is somewhat similar to when he first met Ying Zheng.
It's still the same scene, the same topic.
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng thoughtfully and said.
"No one can predict the future with certainty." Zhao Feng also nodded.
Even though he now has very strong strength, one person can kill thousands of troops.
But Zhao Feng always felt that the world seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil.
The aura of heaven and earth was preserved, but no cultivators were found.
Logically speaking, this is almost impossible.
But Zhao Feng is now in a high position, but he has not found any cultivators at all. This is too strange.
"Do you still remember the elixir you mentioned when you left Xianyang?" Ying Zheng changed the topic and looked at Zhao Fengdao.
"Of course I remember."
Zhao Feng nodded, then looked at Ying Zheng with a smile, and then at the table where Ying Zheng handled the memorial. The place where the elixir box had been placed was empty.
"It seems that the king knows that the elixir is poisonous." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"It is indeed poisonous, and it is also highly poisonous."
"You may not see anything in a short period of time, but if you take it for a long time, the poison will definitely take root and you will eventually die suddenly."
"You saved Gu Yi's life." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"I have already said that the elixir is poisonous."
"But I won't take it anymore. Your Majesty will definitely live a long life in the future." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
But at this moment.
Zhao Feng was also thinking secretly: "Does this count as changing history?"
"Historically, Qin Shihuang died of heavy metal poisoning due to excessive use of magic pills. Now he is still in his prime and has stopped taking poisonous pills. It is not said that he will live a hundred years, but it should be possible to live for another ten or twenty years. ?”
now.
Zhao Feng also realized that he seemed to have really changed history.
How will this change the future?
but.
What if Zhao Feng regrets it?
Of course you won't regret it.
After all, the King of Qin has been very kind to him and his whole family.
If he can live longer, it would be a good thing.
"Live a long life."
"It sounds good." Ying Zheng smiled faintly, but looking at the flickering eyes in his eyes, it is obvious that he does not want to just live a long life.
From ancient times to the present.
Which emperor does not want to live forever, which emperor does not want to have an immortal life and control the world forever?
"How did the king deal with those so-called alchemists?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.
In the past, each of these alchemists was of noble status, with a very high salary, and servants serving them, which can be said to be high above.
Now that they have been exposed, they naturally fell from the altar.
Of course.
Zhao Feng is more curious about Xu Fu.
This was once the number one alchemist in the King of Qin's palace.
What happened to him?
"Poisoned me, do they still want to live?"
"They were tortured to death a year ago." Ying Zheng said coldly.
Although he was approachable in front of Zhao Feng, he was a real king, the future Qin Shi Huang.
Who dared to provoke the majesty of the king?
"Good kill."
"These alchemists should be killed." Zhao Feng nodded immediately, but changed his tone: "However, I heard that there was a chief alchemist named Xu Fu in the Alchemy Hall. Is he dead too?"
"He hasn't returned yet."
"When he returns, I won't let him die so easily." Ying Zheng said coldly.
"He's not in the palace?" Zhao Feng was stunned.
"Originally, I trusted Xu Fu quite a bit. He also claimed that he could make elixir for me, but he had to go overseas to search for traces of Penglai Island."
"Calculating the time, he has been gone for more than a year."
"It happened that he left when you first returned to the capital in triumph." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
It can be seen.
Ying Zheng was really angry at this moment.
The person he once valued so much turned out to be the mastermind who made the so-called elixir to poison him. Ying Zheng felt betrayed.
Originally, Xu Fu was in charge of the Alchemy Hall, so naturally, he was the source of everything.
"Searching for Penglai Island?"
"Refining the elixir of immortality?"
Zhao Feng frowned.
He thought secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that before the King of Qin unified the world, Xu Fu would start planning for escape."
"But."
"I always feel that Xu Fu is not simple."
"It seems that he knew what he did a long time ago, and it feels like he was instructed by others."
Hearing the news about Xu Fu, Zhao Feng couldn't help thinking in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you still know the details of Xu Fu?"
Looking at Zhao Feng with a thoughtful look on his face, Ying Zheng asked back.
"Does the king believe in the existence of Penglai Island?" Zhao Feng came back to his senses.
"In the ancient books, Penglai Island does exist."
"I just don't know if the ancient books are true." Ying Zheng said slowly.
"Your Majesty may still have the idea of finding the Penglai Island in your heart." Zhao Feng smiled.
"If there is really a Penglai Island, then there really is an elixir of immortality."
"Who doesn't want to live forever?"
In front of Zhao Feng.
Ying Zheng did not hide anything.
"That's true."
"From ancient times to the present."
"How many kings have sought immortality, but they all failed. Your Majesty should not hold too much hope." Zhao Feng still advised.
"No."
Ying Zheng shook his head: "Someone succeeded."
Zhao Feng's expression changed, and he looked at Ying Zheng in shock: "Who?"
"King Mu of Zhou." Ying Zheng said with certainty.
"Is it true?"
"Isn't this a record in myths and legends?"
"King Mu of Zhou met the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun." Zhao Feng looked skeptical.
And heard what Zhao Feng said.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng in surprise: "Myths and legends?"
"As far as I know, there are no such myths and legends among the people."
"The records about King Mu of Zhou are in the library of the ancient Zhou Kingdom. After Zhou was destroyed by our Great Qin, its ancient library fell into the control of our Great Qin, and King Mu of Zhou's meeting with the Queen Mother of the West was also recorded in it."
"How do you know?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.
"This... If I really heard it from the people, would the king believe it?" Zhao Feng smiled helplessly.
The people, it is indeed the people.
It is just a wild history of later generations.
Could Zhao Feng tell the King of Qin that this was known in the future?
"It's not surprising to hear a little bit from the people."
"After all, when the Zhou Kingdom was destroyed, many people escaped from the library of books." Ying Zheng did not doubt anything.
"According to what the king said."
"Is King Mu of Zhou really immortal?" Zhao Feng was completely interested and looked expectant.
"It is recorded in the classics that King Zhou Mu met the Queen Mother of the West and gained immortal fate."
"After returning from Kunlun, he abdicated soon."
"After that, his whereabouts are unknown." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Does this confirm that King Zhou Mu is immortal?"
"Isn't it a bit too arbitrary?"
Zhao Feng still has some doubts.
There are indeed many records about King Zhou Mu in later generations. After all, during the Zhou Dynasty, he was the only one who met the Queen Mother of the West, and there are also reports that he obtained the elixir of immortality.
But no matter what the facts are, everything is in history.
"Maybe it's arbitrary, but this is also hope."
"The land of Kunlun."
"When I unify the world, I will go and take a look sooner or later."
"Soon."
"You will go with me."
"See if this West Kunlun really exists, and see if the Queen Mother of the West really exists." Ying Zheng said with a domineering attitude.
Full of the exploration of immortality, and even more of the exploration of the mysterious West Kunlun in this world.
Hearing Ying Zheng's invitation.
Zhao Feng also nodded without any hesitation: "How dare I refuse the king's invitation."
"This mystery of immortality, I will solve it with the king."
Seeing Zhao Feng agreed.
Ying Zheng smiled: "Okay, the mystery of immortality, you and I will solve it together."
The two continued to drink.
Just then!
A voice sounded outside the hall, revealing eagerness.
...
