After drinking for another two hours, the drunk Ying Zheng finally got up and left.
"Hey, we agreed that I would treat you. Why are you paying?”
Chu Han grumbled as he pushed back the glass Li Si handed him.
Ying Zheng chuckled and said," That's good too, Brother Chu. I'm going on a long journey in a few days. This meal will be your farewell feast."”
"Old Zhao, where are you going?" Chu Han asked curiously.”
Ying Zheng pointed to the east and said," I have some business in the east. I have to go there to deal with it."”
Chu Han smiled and said," Old Zhao is indeed a big businessman. He has business everywhere. Alright, I wish you a safe journey. If you're lucky, you might even meet His Majesty and admire His Majesty's wise and mighty appearance!”
The news of the Qin Emperor's eastern tour had long spread. Calculating the time, it should be within the next two days.
Ying Zheng was delighted.
Do I still need to be lucky to see His Majesty's heroic bearing?
I see it every morning when I wake up and look at the bronze mirror!
Thinking of the troubles he had recently, Ying Zheng asked,""Brother Chu, recently, there are rumors that His Majesty is going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. What do you think of this matter?”
Chu Han smiled and said," That's a good thing. Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, Yao, Shun, Yu, and the other seventy-two emperors have all gone to Mount Tai to worship. Our Emperor has the virtue of the Three Emperors and the merit of the Five Emperors. Of course, he should also go to worship. This is what His Majesty deserves!”
After saying that, Chu Han couldn't help but curse inwardly. Qin Shihuang went to Mount Tai to worship heaven. To put it bluntly, wasn't he going to show off and show off to the whole world!
But he was indeed awesome. If even Qin Shihuang, who unified the world, was not qualified to act like this, then who was?
Ying Zheng's heart warmed. Ever since he had unified the world, he had always had the intention of going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices, but he was always dissuaded by his civil officials.
But now, Chu Han's words of 'deserved' had entered his heart.
" That's right!" Ying Zheng laughed heartily." This is what Your Majesty deserves!" In that case, I wish Your Majesty all the best on your journey to Mount Tai!”
Li Si's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
You're a little rascal with a glib tongue. At such a young age, your bootlicking skills are even better than mine!
Chu Han continued nonchalantly." Old Zhao, you're really a loyal and patriotic businessman. However, it's useless for us to pray from afar. If you ask me, His Majesty's Pilgrimage this time probably won't go too smoothly.”
Ying Zheng's smile froze instantly.
Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, Li Si was secretly delighted, and hurriedly added,""Could it be that Shopkeeper Chu doesn't mean what he says? Since he thought that it was a good thing for His Majesty to go to Mount Tai for a pilgrimage, why did he curse His Majesty for not having a smooth trip?”
Chu Han gave Li Si a side glance." Old Li, you're quite good at making accusations. It's a pity that you're a businessman. Being an official is what you should be doing!”
"Shopkeeper Chu, don't change the topic!" Li Si's face turned red.”
Chu Han said casually," Alright, then let's talk about Mount Tai's Pilgrimage Ceremony. If you ask me, the biggest obstacle for His Majesty's trip is the group of scholars and alchemists in Qilu!”
Li Si sneered." Shopkeeper Chu, Mount Tai is in the land of Qi Lu. The ritual of Mount Tai has always been carried out by the people of Qi Lu. They will only be the best helpers for Your Majesty's trip. How can they be an obstacle for Your Majesty?"”
Chu Han wagged his finger." Old Li, you're taking it for granted. Let me ask you, when was the last time you went to Mount Tai for a Pilgrimage?"”
Li Si frowned." Ever since King Cheng of Zhou, there hasn't been an emperor who is qualified to perform the Pilgrimage Ceremony. So, Mount Tai hasn't had a Pilgrimage Ceremony for about 800 years. But so what?"”
"So what?" "Eight hundred years have passed. Do you think those Qilu people who only know how to talk big still remember the etiquette of the Fengshan ceremony?" Chu Han sneered.”
Ying Zheng was startled. Indeed, the Pilgrimage Ceremony was about to start, but the imperial court had yet to find any information about it.
He was prepared to go to the land of Qi and Lu to gather the local scholars and alchemists, but after hearing Chu Han's words, Ying Zheng suddenly had some doubts.
Even those people from Qilu could not remember the etiquette of the Fengshan ceremony.
After all, it had been nearly 800 years since the last Pilgrimage!
Chu Han continued," Moreover, the Qi Kingdom has just been destroyed. In my opinion, those people from the Qi Kingdom will definitely come up with a very complicated etiquette to make things difficult for Your Majesty. But who is Your Majesty? His Majesty was from Old Qin! Why would he accept such a long and slow etiquette? It would be more comfortable to use the sacrificial gifts of the old Qin people!”
" Ridiculous," Li Si said angrily." The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is so grand. How can we change the ritual of Fengshan at will?"”
Chu Han glanced at Li Si." Old Li, wasn't your brain quite active when we talked about the law two days ago?" Why did his brain go numb when it came to the matter of the Pilgrimage? Could it be that you were also brainwashed by the people of Qilu?”
Li Si was hit on the sore spot. Why did this kid bring up the sore spot?
Today, Li Si's little mouth was not sweet at all, and he was even searching for something. Chu Han could not be bothered with him anymore, but instead, he looked at Ying Zheng and said,""Is this a problem of change? This was a question of who would have the initiative to formulate the sacrificial method if they could not find the real sacrificial method! Since the Great Qin Empire is the ruler of the world, why should we let the people of Qilu set the rules for the sacrifice? Why are you spoiling them so much?"
Li Si still wanted to argue, but Ying Zheng clapped his hands excitedly and said,""Brother Chu is right. If we can really find the ancient ritual, then so be it. But if we can't find the ancient ritual, why should we let the people of Qi Lu set the rules of sacrifice?”
After settling a matter on his mind, Ying Zheng walked out of the Chuji Restaurant in a relaxed manner.
After walking a few dozen meters away, Li Si could not wait to advise,""Your Majesty, this Chu Han is completely spouting nonsense. Your Majesty's pilgrimage to Mount Tai is a major event to sacrifice to heaven and earth. How can it be a child's play?”
" Hmph!" Ying Zheng snorted." Is it child's play to offer sacrifices according to the Qin rites?"”
Li Si's heart trembled, but when he thought of the fishing boats that were raging in the world, he braced himself and bowed.""Your Majesty, we hope to obtain the recognition of the Qilu people by offering sacrifices to Mount Tai. However, if we use the Great Qin method to offer sacrifices, it will instead cause the Qilu people to feel resentment. Your Majesty, please think twice!”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, then nodded slightly and said,""Alright, I'll give them a chance. However, I'll also bring the sacrificial items. I hope that the scholars and alchemists in the land of Qi Lu won't disappoint me!”
