And Xianyang City, where the imperial palace is located, is also generally the same.
The guards at the gate of the city were checking the crowds and vehicles in and out of every detail, but when it was Lin Ran's turn to take the carriage, they kept silent and let it go straight away.
The guards did not continue to check until the carriage passed by.
After passing through the city gate, the carriage did not stop, and drove along the road all the way to the outside of Xianyang Palace.
And at this time the gate of the palace opened.
A proud figure could be vaguely seen, standing alone behind the door, waiting quietly.
Chapter 174 Ying Zheng's Request!
The carriage stopped outside the palace gate, and everyone got off one by one.
From the outside, it looked like a small carriage, but there were seven people getting off, and the person inside the door was stunned.
It wasn't until Lin Ran finally got out of the car that the man greeted him with a cupped fist and a salute: "May I ask Mr. Lin in person?"
"Sir, don't dare to be, Lin Ran, the head of Guizhou, has met His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor."
Lin Ran saluted back.
Although the histories of the two worlds are different, and this Yingzheng has not yet unified the entire Kyushu, as Chinese citizens, they have some respect for this emperor in their bones, and so does Lin Ran.
Yingzheng got the order from Princess Liyang, and came to greet him in person at the gate of the palace, without bringing any soldiers, and kept his figure extremely low.
I thought that Lin Ran must have the haughty and indifferent appearance of an extraterrestrial expert, but he didn't expect to be so kind, and was quite surprised for a while.
"I've been looking forward to it day and night, and finally I'm looking forward to seeing you, sir. I'd like to invite you into the palace to have a talk."
Ying Zheng stepped forward, greeted the others, and held Lin Ran's hand cordially.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Ying Zheng, Lin Ran and his party went straight to the Hall of Return of the Four Seas.
"Liyang said that Mr. Don't like to make noise, so I'll break up the court meeting early today, please."
"Please, Your Majesty first."
On the 99 steps in front of the palace, Lin Ran insisted that Ying Zheng climb up first.
After everyone entered the hall, Lianxing screamed exaggeratedly.
"Wow, this is too gorgeous!"
Lianxing turned around, looking at the tall dome, and the resplendent Panlongzhu, palace lanterns and other decorations, with a look of surprise, "This is much more beautiful than our Yihua Palace!"
"Dynasty palaces are naturally not comparable to our Jianghu sect."
Although Dongfang Bai said so, he couldn't help looking around.
Except for Lin Ran, Dugu Qiubai and Lin Shiyin, everyone had the same reaction.
Although they often talked about the emperor on weekdays, and even saw Zhu Houzhao of Ming Dynasty with their own eyes, it was the first time for most people to experience it in the palace.
Dugu Qiubai has lived for so many years, naturally he has seen everything he should have seen.
Lin Shiyin was relatively calm because when she asked Zhu Houzhao to borrow the elephant, she had already experienced the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace up close.
"Beautiful is beautiful, but there are too many pillars in the temple, which is in the way."
Lianxing muttered.
"Don't talk nonsense, this hall occupies a huge area. If there are not enough pillars, it may be in danger of being overturned." Yaoyue scolded.
"I don't know what you guys are. In addition to bearing weight, these pillars can also protect my safety."
Ying Zheng walked up to a pillar and touched the knife marks on it, "If it wasn't for this pillar, I would have died a long time ago."
"Oh?"
Lin Ran's heart moved, and he asked: "It is rumored that Jing Ke is a first-rank expert, will he really be stopped by a pillar?"
"will not."
Ying Zheng shook his head, laughed at himself, and said, "He was afraid that the pillar would break, and Guiyi Hall would fall down and kill innocent people."
"...and this one."
Lin Ran clicked his tongue a little.
"Zhao Gao!"
Ying Zheng clapped his hands.
"The minister is here."
Suddenly, a shrill voice came to mind, a white-faced and beardless man came out from the dim place in the hall.
"Let the next few cases come to eat."
"only."
After Zhao Gao went down, Ying Zheng turned around and smiled apologetically at everyone, saying: "I am short of supplies in Daqin, if the food and drink are not suitable, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty is too worried."
Lin Ran shook his head, "We are all people from the rivers, lakes and mountains. When we are down and out, grass roots and bark can still be swallowed, let alone palace meals."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Gao brought a group of young eunuchs in and set up eight dining tables.
"Please!"
"Please!"
Ying Zheng didn't look at the dragon chair, just sat opposite Lin Ran in the first row, and the rest of the people also sat down.
"Mr. Lin has saved the world several times, and I will offer you a toast for future generations."
As soon as he sat down, Ying Zheng held up the three-legged bronze cup in front of him.
"Don't dare, I should respect His Majesty."
Lin Ran also picked up the wine and said with a smile: "The Qin Emperor wiped out Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yanqi, and unified the Qin Dynasty, saving the people from years of war. It is a great achievement."
As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng's eyes froze.
Among the six great dynasties, only Daqin was a newborn dynasty.
Before he won the throne, seven small countries in the territory of Great Qin fought endlessly, and the people were in dire straits.
And Qin destroyed the six countries and established a great dynasty, which is also a well-known achievement in Kyushu.
It's just that Lin Ran, as a foreigner, was able to go everywhere in the order of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms, which made Ying Zheng pay attention to it again.
"Come on, you and I will drink separately."
Yingzheng was so emotional that he drank all the fine wine in one gulp.
It tastes sweet, and Lin Ran couldn't help but praise: "Good wine."
Nowadays, the winemaking techniques of the six dynasties are still not advanced enough. The alcohol content is usually around 10%, and the most powerful spirits are only 20% at most.
But for Lin Ran, this kind of low-alcohol sweet wine is more suitable as a daily drink.
"Second cup..."
Ying Zheng filled himself up again, then stood up and walked in front of Lin Ran, raised the wine jue over his head, and bowed down: "Please, sir, save me Daqin!"
Lin Ran sideways avoided, but did not go to help Yingzheng, but frowned and asked: "Your Majesty is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Great Qin Dynasty is also flourishing, why do you want to save it or not?"
"Mister doesn't know something."
Ying Zheng straightened up, his expression became extremely solemn: "Da Qin has reached the critical point of life and death."
Everyone stopped eating and looked at Ying Zheng quietly.
"Let's talk about internal worries first."
Ying Zheng stood up and looked up at his own dragon chair, "The nobles of the old six countries are rebellious, coercing the local people, ready to move, and most of the ministers in the court are covering it up."
"The final conclusion is actually preferential treatment and appeasement."
"Heh, the old Qin people desperately fought down the country for me, but in the end it was the former enemy who enjoyed the blessing."
"Let's talk about foreign troubles."
"Mengyuan, Beimang, and Nanyue are all eyeing the Central Plains, and even the Yuezhi who is farther away, if they become stronger, they will be no good."
"If you give me another 20 years, not to mention these internal and external troubles, it is not impossible to unify Kyushu."
Ying Zheng sighed, "However, among my descendants, Fusu, who is stronger, may not be able to defend the country, let alone forge ahead. Once Zhenbin is gone, the Nuo Dynasty will fall apart in an instant."
"No, it looks like you're not very old. You don't have to live for 20 years. It shouldn't be a problem for you to live for more than ten years, right?"
Lian Xing asked in puzzlement.
"If so, I don't have to worry about it."
Ying Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head, "During the first few years of the establishment of the dynasty, I was too inflated and wanted to live forever with Da Qin, so I kept recruiting alchemists from the people to find the way to live forever.
It's a pity that those alchemists are nothing but charlatans, and it's also my fault that I'm too arrogant to believe what the alchemists say, and take poisonous pills day and night, and it has been several years.
I once went to the Imperial Medical Office alone, only to find out by eavesdropping that my life is not long...
In fact, there is no need for the medical office to make a conclusion. I have already noticed that something is wrong. About two years ago, I began to become extremely lethargic, and the daily waking time was getting shorter and shorter, and I could only maintain it with poison pills.
Everyone understood what was going on, and looked at Ying Zheng with pity.
"Are you still taking poison pills?!"
Lian Xing was startled and opened his mouth wide, "Since you know it's a poison pill, why do you still take it? Isn't it that the more you eat, the faster you die?"
Yaoyue quickly glared at Lianxing.
"How could I not know."
Ying Zheng didn't care about Lian Xing's offense, but sighed and said: "It's just that if you don't use poison pills, it's hard for me to stay awake, let alone communicate with you."
"Okay..." Lianxing curled her lips and said nothing more.
"How do you want me to help you?"
Lin Ran asked bluntly.
"To be honest, after Princess Liyang brought back the news that my husband was in Daming, I no longer dare to hope for the longevity pill."
Ying Zheng said without the slightest shyness, "I also know very well that there is probably nothing in the whole of Daqin that can move your heart. Whether it is status or wealth, you think you will disdain it."
Lin Ran nodded.
"I just want my husband to recommend someone to succeed Daqin."
Ying Zheng looked at Lin Ran with burning eyes.
"Recommended..."
Lin Ran frowned deeply.
He immediately understood the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
Recommend one person, not limited to the prince.
Ying Zheng actually wanted to transfer Nuo Da's dynasty to others! ?
"Your Majesty can't!"
With a wail, Zhao Gao ran out of the shadows, and knelt down in front of Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty has gone through countless tribulations to conquer Nuo Da's country, how can it be such a joke?"
"To shut up!"
Ying Zheng's expression turned cold in an instant, "It's not your turn to make noises about what I'm going to do!"
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Gao didn't dare to say any more, just cried and kowtowed frantically.
"Come on! Drag this old dog down!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and immediately a soldier entered the hall and kicked Zhao Gao out.
"Mr. laughed."
Ying Zheng smiled apologetically at Lin Ran.
"Your Majesty, why did you make this decision?"
Lin Ran let out a breath slowly and asked.
