It is intolerable to attack the king of a country, even if it is just using illusion.
There are not many people who can take action against Ying Zheng, and even fewer who have this motive, which is easy to find.
They are nothing more than those Qin nobles and clan ministers who are not in power.
Starting from King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Lu Buwei, a foreigner, took the position of prime minister and took charge of the great power in the court. With the influence of foreign relatives such as the Chu family and the Korean family, the Qin nobles and clan members in the entire court were not allowed to be reused.
Now that there was the Lao'ai rebellion, which caused Lu Buwei to resign as prime minister, and later the Zheng State built a canal in order to weaken the Qin Dynasty, the whole country may have complaints about these foreigners.
Naturally, these Qin nobles would not miss this opportunity, and wanted to take the opportunity to remove obstacles and regain power.
The only question is how many people were involved.
At this moment, Gai Nie, who was standing behind Ying Zheng and was responsible for the escort, saw that Ying Zheng had ordered an investigation into the matter, and a big stone fell in his heart.
He is not from the Qin State. If Ying Zheng issued an order to expel guests, then he must be on the list of expelled guests.
However, Gai Nie still felt a little guilty in his heart. As Ying Zheng's bodyguard and swordsmanship instructor, he did not notice this situation.
Ying Zheng had no intention of questioning Gai Nie.
Although Gai Nie's swordsmanship is very powerful, he is definitely not as good at these illusions and other moves as the Onmyoji and Taoists.
Ignoring the expulsion order, Ying Zheng was entangled with the problem of Zheng Guoqu.
"Sir, do you think the Zheng Guo Canal should be repaired?"
Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head slightly after hearing this.
"The king must have considered this matter in his mind. Since the king succeeded to the throne, the Qin State has been hit by disasters for many years, including droughts, locust plagues, and epidemics. The Zhengguo Canal diverts Jingshui from the east and feeds it into Luoshui. If it is completed, the Guanzhong area will become an important granary for the Qin Dynasty. ."
"Although this is South Korea's plan to weaken the Qin Dynasty, it will only extend South Korea's life for a few years. If the king gives up building the Zhengguo Canal at this time and wastes several years and countless manpower, material and financial resources, I am afraid it will be more in line with their wishes."
Bai Yuan knew the significance of Zheng Guo Canal, and naturally he would not watch Ying Zheng abandon this project.
Ying Zheng actually didn't want to give up Zheng Guoqu in his heart. He also knew the situation in Qin State very well.
After years of natural disasters and wars, the Qin State was indeed unable to support itself.
He wanted to fulfill his ambition to unify the world, but war was all about consumption, and food and grass were the top priority.
The method of using war to support war and feeding back the country does not work every time.
Since the year he succeeded to the throne, many ministers in the country have seen this, including the original Prime Minister Lu Buwei, so at that time they already had the idea of building canals and developing water conservancy.
It was just a coincidence that Zheng Guo came and presented better hydraulic technology, so Ying Zheng adopted his suggestions and even named the canal after Zheng Guo, which showed how much Qin State valued this matter.
After Bai Yuan's little persuasion, Ying Zheng also firmly decided on the idea of building Zheng Guo Canal.
"What you said is reasonable, but if you want to continue to build the canal, Zheng Guo will need to be in charge, but I can't rest assured."
Bai Yuan understood Ying Zheng's concerns and opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Although Zheng Guo is a spy sent by South Korea, I think he can be used. Now that his identity has been exposed, I am afraid he is also worried about whether he will be killed. If the king ignores the previous suspicion at this time and allows him to perform meritorious service, He will definitely shed tears of gratitude and faithfully build aqueducts for the Qin Dynasty. If word spreads about it, it will also show the king's benevolence and make the people praise him."
"Just in case, the king can also send new officials to assist Zheng Guo in building canals to monitor and supervise."
The method Bai Yuan said was just to provide Ying Zheng with an idea, so that he could get over the grudge against Zheng Guo's betrayal. If he really wanted to control someone, Ying Zheng would definitely be able to do better than what he said.
Ying Zheng nodded quickly after hearing this.
"I know."
The life and death of Zheng Guo is a trivial matter. For the sake of the overall situation, Ying Zheng might as well give him another chance.
If this matter is finally settled, it will be of great benefit to Da Qin.
At this time, Bai Yuan remembered his previous promise to Gong Shuqiu, and suddenly thought that Gong Shuqiu's mechanism skills might also be able to help Daqin build aqueducts. Isn't this a good opportunity?
"Your Majesty, I just thought that the construction of the canal for so many years has consumed countless manpower and material resources. If we use the art of mechanism, we may be able to greatly speed up the construction of the canal."
"Mechanical techniques?"
There was a trace of doubt in Ying Zheng's eyes.
"I'm afraid the Mohists will not be willing to use mechanism techniques to help Qin build the Zhengguo Canal."
"I'm not talking about the Mohist's mechanism technique, and this mechanism technique is not only known by the Mohists."
Bai Yuan shook his head slightly, feeling a little pitiful for losing his revenge. He really didn't have much fame!
"The mechanism technique I'm talking about is the mechanism technique of the Gongshu family."
"Gongshu family?"
After Ying Zheng heard this, relevant information about the public loser suddenly appeared in his mind.
Bai Yuan did not play riddles and told Ying Zheng about Gong Shuqiu.
"To be honest with the king, Gongshu Qiu of the Gongshu family is helping me build a manor, and I promise to help him write a letter of recommendation to the king."
"Gong Shuqiu's mechanism skills are no worse than those of the Mo family. He is absolutely willing to help Da Qin. All he needs to do is give him fame and fortune."
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
"Is this serious?"
Bai Yuan nodded calmly:
"Of course, if the king needs it, I can send a letter asking Gong Shuqiu to come. He is at Taiyi Mountain at the moment."
"But your Majesty, you can't compete with me! I'm still waiting to get married after the manor is completed!"
Ying Zheng and Gai Nie were immediately stunned.
"Sir, you are about to get married? Hahaha, then this is a great event! In that case, let's wait until this matter is over!"
The canal has been built for so many years. Even if Gong Shuqiu comes to help, it is impossible to say that it will be repaired in a few months. In this case, Ying Zheng will naturally not delay Bai Yuan's good deeds.
Bai Yuan nodded slightly when he saw this, as long as he didn't compete with him.
If Gong Shuqiu left, his marriage would probably be postponed, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"If your Majesty is free then, you can come and watch the ceremony."
"I will definitely be here!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately agreed.
Although Bai Yuan was not his minister, his status in Ying Zheng's heart was much more important than that of some ministers.
Bai Yuan did not stay in the palace for long, and left with Gai Nie after clarifying Ying Zheng's doubts.
At this time, Bai Yuan still remembered that Gai Nie agreed to discuss with him.
About half an hour later, Ge Nie returned to the palace.
When Ying Zheng heard Gai Nie coming back, he raised his head and glanced at him, then froze.
"What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Gai Nie had two panda eyes, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
"I just had a sparring match with Bai Yuan, and this is what happened..."
The corners of Gai Nie's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was full of resentment.
Others would hit people without slapping them in the face, but Bai Yuan specifically greeted them in the face, and while slapping them, he was muttering something like "his feet are beyond recognition" and "I'll give you back your Piao Piao Fist", which shows how vicious his thoughts are.
Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie's appearance and pinched his fingers hard to prevent himself from laughing.
"You go and rest for a few days first!"
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and finally gave Gai Nie a few days off.
He couldn't protect himself like this.
There is also a great commander who has the same disease as Gai Nie.
However, Da Siming was a little smarter than Gai Nie, and in the end he somehow managed to trick the Moon God and temporarily escaped disaster.
After spending another night at Yin Yang's house, Bai Yuan got on the carriage and hurried back to Taiyi Mountain the next day.
Concubine Yan and Yueshen watched the carriage leave and gradually disappear from sight, then reluctantly retracted their gaze, looked at each other, and then went back to their rooms to practice.
After a day's journey, Bai Yuan also managed to return to Taiyi Mountain before the sun set.
At this time, Ning Yan and others have also begun to get busy. Gong Shuqiu has completed the overall layout design of the manor. Except for some small details that need to be modified according to the specific conditions during the construction, everything else has been prepared.
So the construction of the manor officially started.
In order to complete this project as soon as possible, Gongshu Qiu called all the younger members of his family over and got a lot of machine beasts to help.
In addition to these disciples of the Gongshu family, there are also many Taoist Tianzong disciples who also participated in the construction of the manor because the rewards promised by Bai Yuan were generous enough.
Since we are going to build a manor that combines mechanical techniques and Taoist techniques, the help of Taoist disciples is naturally indispensable.
After Bai Yuan saw that the construction of the manor was on track, he also started busy refining the natural weapons of Yan Lingji and others.
It took Bai Yuan more than a month to refine all the natal weapons of Yan Lingji and others, which was very hard work.
However, his hard work was not unrewarded. At least on the night when Yan Lingji and the others got their natal weapons, Bai Yuan took it easy.
When the maid on duty the next day went to help Bai Yuan get up and wash up, she saw the scene inside and immediately blushed.
When they walked out of the door carrying hot water, their eyes were a little dazed and their legs were a little weak.
Yan Lingji and Xue Nu were also at peace for many days after that, and their relationship seemed to have become closer, like real sisters.
Time passed slowly.
The manor was under construction in an orderly and smooth manner, and Bai Yuan would occasionally visit the site.
Most of the rest of the time, Bai Yuan was busy teaching Xiaomeng homework.
On this day, Bai Yuan was teaching Xiaomeng swordsmanship when he suddenly felt a sword intent spreading on Taiyi Mountain.
"Is this... Senior Brother coming out of seclusion?"
Bai Yuan looked happy, stopped what he was doing, and took Xiao Meng to find Chi Songzi.
When they saw Chisongzi, he was sitting with Bei Mingzi drinking tea. He looked like a fairy, with an indifferent expression.
"Congratulations, senior brother, for successfully entering the realm of harmony between man and nature!"
Chi Songzi put down the tea cup, looked at Bai Yuan, and nodded slightly.
"Junior brother! I heard that after I have been in seclusion for more than a month, the Yin and Yang family will soon become my Tianzong's?"
"Cough cough!"
Bai Yuan was choked by the air and couldn't help coughing twice, while Xiao Meng, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Chapter 424 Bai Yuan: It must be Da Siming who led Young Siming astray
At this moment, Bai Yuan felt weird, because Chi Songzi's words seemed to be a joke on him, but in fact, he really told the truth.
On the surface, Bai Yuan is ready to marry the two most noble women of the Yin Yang family, Dongjun and Yueshen. From the outside, it can be said that he has almost half of the Yin Yang family in his pocket.
Privately, Bai Yuan and Donghuang Taiyi had already made an agreement. When the marriage was completed, Donghuang Taiyi would also announce to others that the descendants of Bai Yuan, Dongjun, and Yueshen would be the Yin Yang family. the next leader.
But the future of the entire Yin Yang family was really given to Bai Yuan as a dowry. In a sense, the Yin Yang family was really going to become a Taoist family.
At this moment, Chi Songzi looked at the expression on Bai Yuan's face, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Over the years, he had known this junior brother very well, so he could see part of Bai Yuan's psychological activities just by looking at the expression on Bai Yuan's face.
Chi Songzi swallowed.
"Boy, are you hiding something from us?"
Bai Yuan laughed and pulled Xiaomeng to sit down.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that what you just said, senior brother, may come true."
Chi Songzi and others: ???
"Speak clearly."
Now even Bei Mingzi, who had been silent, changed his face slightly and became serious.
What comes true?
Is the Yin Yang family really going to become a Taoist family?
Bai Yuan poured himself a cup of tea first and cleared his throat.
