Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.
Chapter 100 Lifting the Tripod!
"Greetings, Your Excellency, the Imperial Preceptor..."
"Greetings, Your Excellency, the Imperial Preceptor..."
Along the way, everyone, regardless of who they were, had to pay their respects to Tang Yu.
Since the day the Home Inn was tried, they have learned a lesson.
At least half of the Qin kingdom's territory is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Preceptor! The other half belongs to His Majesty!
Tang Yu seemed somewhat uninterested in receiving these greetings.
He was eager to test the limits of this body.
Unfortunately, the items placed by Brother Zheng were all too light, making it difficult for him to measure them.
Bored, Tang Yu walked to the front of Xianyang Palace and led the officials behind him, preparing to enter the palace for court.
Tang Yu suddenly noticed a giant bronze cauldron, over two meters tall, placed in front of Xianyang Palace.
For some reason, a feeling inexplicably arose in his mind.
He wanted to lift the giant cauldron!
"The Overlord lifts his head..."
Tang Yu muttered to himself, his eyes shining as he looked at the giant cauldron.
Unconsciously, she stepped forward and stroked it, which made Li Si, who was standing nearby, a little curious.
"Your Excellency, is there something unusual about this cauldron?"
Tang Yu turned his head and asked.
"Prime Minister Li, how heavy is this cauldron?"
As the Prime Minister of Qin, Li Si was all too familiar with all of this.
"Your Excellency, this tripod weighs approximately 2300 jin, much heavier than the one King Wu of Qin lifted before!"
"Your Excellency, what is the meaning of your question?"
Li Si was somewhat curious, while Tang Yu became even more excited upon hearing this.
"Over 2300 jin? That's wonderful! That's fantastic!"
He stroked the giant cauldron with his hand in a perverse manner, which puzzled the ministers around him.
"What is the Imperial Advisor doing?"
"Are you interested in this cauldron?"
The next moment, they saw Tang Yu actually trying to lift the tripod.
"Has he gone mad? Has the Imperial Advisor gone mad?"
"Is this something a human could lift? That's insane!"
"I admit that the Grand Preceptor has some extraordinary qualities, but this is far too heavy. How can anyone lift it?"
"Quickly, go and fetch His Majesty! Quickly, go and fetch His Majesty!"
"If anything really happens to the Grand Preceptor, we will all be held responsible!"
All of them gasped in shock. Tang Yu lifting the tripod was not only a matter concerning himself, but also many ministers.
After all, they knew how much Emperor Tang Yu valued him. If something unexpected happened to Tang Yu because of the national cauldron...
Who knows, in a fit of rage, Ying Zheng might send them to accompany Tang Yu!
What's going on outside?
As Ying Zheng waited for his officials to enter the palace for court, he heard a commotion outside the Xianyang Palace.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw several officials rushing in.
"We...pay our respects...pay our respects to Your Majesty!"
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorganized?!"
Ying Zheng's words carried a hint of reprimand.
He truly hadn't expected that these people, as ministers of his own Qin state, would be so lacking in self-control.
But the ministers' next words made him panic instantly.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor... the Grand Preceptor... he..."
"What's wrong with the Imperial Advisor? Tell me quickly!"
Ying Zheng panicked upon hearing the name Tang Yu, worried that something might have happened to him.
"Grand Preceptor, he's trying to lift the tripod of our Qin state while he's out there!"
"What? Lift the tripod!"
Ying Zheng's voice cracked by the end; he finally understood why these people were panicking.
This Dingding was a commemorative item created by the Qin state after it unified the six states, to demonstrate that the Qin state had once again taken back the Nine Tripods since the Zhou Dynasty.
The piece he commissioned the craftsmen to create weighed over 2300 jin (approximately 1,150 kg).
In modern terms, that would be more than a ton, close to the weight of a small car.
Even the tripod that King Wu of Qin lifted was much lighter than this Dingding!
Even so, King Wu of Qin, who possessed superhuman strength, was crushed to death by that giant cauldron.
"Holy crap, Mr. Tang!"
Ying Zheng panicked immediately, got off the dragon throne, and ran out of Xianyang Palace.
"Mr. Tang! Do not act rashly!!"
"Mr. Tang!!!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's flustered state, the officials who had come to deliver the message exchanged glances.
"His Majesty is criticizing us, isn't he? He's panicking just as much as we are!"
Outside Xianyang Palace.
At this moment, all the officials attending court gathered together, forming a tight encirclement.
In the center of the encirclement was Tang Yu, who was about to attempt to lift the tripod.
Seeing this, Wang Jian's already somewhat frail legs quickened a bit.
He stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yu's arm.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Preceptor, you cannot lift this tripod!"
Wang Jian was genuinely nervous. Qin had finally found someone like Tang Yu, who could become the pillar and hope of the next generation of Qin.
If someone died while lifting a heavy tripod, it would be a loss for the entire Qin state!
The surrounding officials also spoke loudly.
"Your Excellency, please refrain from any rash actions!"
"Your Excellency, this giant cauldron is no good!"
"It's too heavy! It's really too heavy!"
All the officials were anxiously advising them, and no one believed that Tang Yu could lift the tripod.
"Because this cauldron was simply beyond human strength to lift in ancient times," Li Si said earnestly from the side.
"Your Excellency, it took more than 20 soldiers to lift this cauldron with thick wooden poles to place it."
"After much difficulty, it was finally placed here. More than twenty strong soldiers almost couldn't lift it. The Grand Preceptor still didn't try."
At this moment, Ying Zheng rushed out and shouted loudly.
"Mr. Tang! Don't move!"
Ying Zheng was truly panicked.
Frankly, he would rather Li Si die lifting the tripod than Tang Yu die lifting the tripod.
After all, Tang Yu is extremely important to the Great Qin.
Li Si: ? ? ?
So, does love disappear, Your Majesty?
Seeing that no one around him trusted him, and even Ying Zheng was trying to stop him.
Tang Yu didn't speak; instead, he gripped the patterns on the giant cauldron tightly with both hands.
He let out a furious shout under the horrified gazes of the crowd.
"what!"
Everyone thought the cauldron would remain motionless or even tip over, but to their surprise, the giant cauldron slowly lifted off the ground in Tang Yu's hands.
"boom--"
"His ha——"
Everyone gasped.
"This...how is this possible? You must know that this cauldron weighs nearly 2500 jin!"
Ying Zheng was also stunned by what he saw.
"Mr. Tang, you are truly a divine being!"
He noticed that as Mr. Tang slowly stood up, he lifted the giant cauldron directly above his head.
The scene fell into an eerie silence. No one had expected that Tang Yu would be able to lift such a massive cauldron.
Moreover, judging from Tang Yu's appearance, he seemed to have some energy left. Even though he exerted a lot of effort, he didn't exhaust all his strength like King Wu of Qin did in the past.
"what!"
A furious shout that pierced the eardrums.
This giant dome was truly held directly above Tang Yu's head!
At this moment, everyone in Xianyang Palace, from Ying Zheng to his ministers and the guards, was completely dumbfounded.
They all looked at Tang Yu with an expression as if they were looking at a god.
"Is...is this really a human?"
