Meng Yi's head was buzzing.
I must be hearing things!
It must be like this!
Otherwise, why would His Majesty not reveal his identity despite so many visits, but Qin Junzi had broken the thin layer of paper between the two sides when he came alone?
He did not have that much face!
Qin Yun frowned slightly."Minister Meng, quickly bring me to His Majesty. What's wrong with that?"”
Meng Yi was finally certain that he did not hear wrongly.
Meng Yi bowed and cupped his hands in ecstasy.
"Great Qin's doctor's order, Meng Yi, greets Gentleman Qin!”
Without waiting for Qin Yun to greet him, Meng Yi immediately took a step forward and held Qin Yun's hands tightly. His eyes were filled with excitement.
"Gentleman Qin, are you finally willing to help Great Qin?”
Qin Yun smiled and asked,"Did I not help Great Qin with all my might?”
"I misspoke." Meng Yi laughed.”
"Not only did Gentleman Qin help Great Qin many times, but he also saved the emperor. If Gentleman Qin hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid that Gao Jianli would have succeeded.”
Meng Yi couldn't help but be excited.
With Ying Zheng's high regard for Qin Yun, he would definitely be delighted to see Qin Yun return to him. As for Meng Yi, he would be given a great merit.
One had to know that the position of Left Minister was still vacant!
Who knows, if His Majesty is happy, he might promote Meng Yi to the Left Minister?
Qin Yun seemed to have unintentionally pulled his hand out of Meng Yi's palm.
"Minister Meng, His Majesty's trip is going to be extremely terrifying.”
"You and I will have plenty of time to chat in the future. Now, please bring me to find His Majesty.”
Meng Yi was shocked.
Would His Majesty be terrified?
Since it was related to Ying Zheng, Meng Yi did not dare to doubt him, so he immediately said seriously,""Good!"
"I'll go find a fast horse and set off immediately!”
Fifteen minutes later, more than fifty knights rushed out of the east gate of Xianyang City.
Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces as they sped up as fast as they could.
Only Ying Bu looked excited, while Fan Kuai looked confused.
"Old Meng, it's actually the Great Qin's Physician Order, Meng Yi?”
Ying Bu rode his horse closer to Fan Kuai and patted him on the shoulder.""Of course."
"If it wasn't Old Meng or Meng Yi, who could mobilize the doctor guards?”
"Brother Fan, could it be that you only found out about this matter today?”
Fan Kuai stared at Ying Bu with wide eyes.""Could it be that you already knew?"
"Anyways, it's earlier than you." Ying Bu said proudly.”
Fan Kuai's eyes widened like copper bells as he looked at Qin Yun aggrievedly.""Patriarch!"
Qin Yun chuckled and shook his head."Yingbu only found out about it a few days ago.”
Fan Kuai felt a little better and snorted at Ying Bu smugly.
Qin Yun continued."In addition, Shopkeeper Zheng is Great Qin's First Emperor. Fan Kuai, you should be mentally prepared.”
Fan Kuai was completely stunned.
"Bang ~"
"Motherf * cker!"
Fan Kuai shuddered and fell off his galloping horse.
"Fan Kuai!"
"Brother Fan!"
Qin Yun hurriedly pulled the reins to stop the warhorse and looked nervously at Fan Kuai.
When the dust settled, Qin Yun saw Fan Kuai lying on the ground in a daze as he mumbled.
"Manager Zheng is His Majesty?"
"Did I f * cking pat His Majesty on the shoulder?”
"Did I f * cking compete with His Majesty in drinking?”
"Damn it…are you looking for death?”
Ying Bu smiled mischievously.”
"Wait until this day next year, and I'll send you a sacrifice.”
Qin Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. He urged his horse closer and said helplessly,""Don't scare him."
"His Majesty is not such a petty person.”
"Since Your Majesty chose to incognito for a private visit, then Your Majesty will only be the manager of the government and not Your Majesty.”
Only then did Fan Kuai get up from the ground and look at Qin Yun expectantly.""Master, are you serious?"
Qin Yun nodded."With His Majesty's status, why would he be calculative with you?”
"Don't be afraid.”
Fan Kuai was finally relieved. He climbed onto his horse and continued to set off.
However, Fan Kuai was still on tenterhooks throughout the journey, fearing that Ying Zheng would settle the score with him.
Although Ying Zheng's convoy was huge, with the road, the speed of the convoy was not slow.
By the time Ying Zheng reached the foot of Mount Tai, Qin Yun and company were still running wildly.
"Why are there only these Confucian scholars?”
At the foot of Mount Tai, in Ying Zheng's temporary tent, he looked at the dozens of Confucian scholars standing at the foot of the stairs, his brows tightly knitted.
Before they set off, Ying Zheng had summoned Langya County and ordered all the famous scholars of Langya to come and discuss the state affairs.
The Confucians were famous during the Warring States Period, and Langya was the ancestral land of the Confucians. There were at least 800 famous Confucians.
In the end, there were only less than a hundred people?
An old scholar stepped forward and bowed with cupped hands."Your Majesty, I am Guo Lin of Linzi."
"The Qi Kingdom has already surrendered, and we are all from the Qin Kingdom. Therefore, this old man must come and advise Your Majesty.”
"Mount Tai is a sacred land. Fuxi, Shennong, Yellow Emperor, Zhuanxu, and the other three emperors and five emperors, seventy-two kings, all worship here.”
"This place is not a place where any king can come to worship!”
"Your moral character is not good, you are tyrannical and unkind, and your achievements are not enough. At this time, there are no auspicious signs appearing in the world. If you rashly come to Mount Tai to worship, you will definitely suffer the wrath of heaven!”
Ying Zheng's face immediately darkened.
Guo Lin's words were simply pointing at Ying Zheng's nose and scolding him!
"Your Majesty's merits surpass the Three Emperors, and your virtue surpasses the Five Emperors!" Wang Wan shouted angrily.”
"Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are here for the ritual, why is Your Majesty not worthy?”
Guo Lin sneered,"Your merits surpass the Three Emperors, and your virtues surpass the Five Emperors?"”
"It's just a self-deceiving joke.”
Without waiting for Wang Wan to speak again, Guo Lin waved his sleeves and looked at the other Confucianists angrily."I came here to scold you.”
"Don't contribute to this fatuous monarch's Pilgrimage. Otherwise, you will suffer the wrath of the heavens!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Lin walked out with his head held high.
Yang Duan He and the other generals immediately unsheathed their swords and glared at Guo Lin. As long as Ying Zheng gave the order, they would immediately behead this man!
Ying Zheng looked at Guo Lin with an ashen face, but in the end, he waved his hand and said,""Let him go."
Ying Zheng was very clear about the moral character of this famous scholar.
They were here to provoke Ying Zheng, and if Ying Zheng did not kill them, they would be given a good reputation of being upright and upright.
What if Ying Zheng killed them?
That's even better. They will leave their names in history!
As for Ying Zheng, he would become their background as a tyrant.
As expected, after hearing Ying Zheng's words, Guo Lin's face was filled with disappointment, and he walked out of the tent unwillingly.
Dun Ruo moved closer to Ying Zheng and said in a low voice,""Your Majesty, do you want me to…"
As he spoke, he gestured at his neck.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded slowly."Make it more discreet."”
"Understood!"
After adjusting his emotions, Ying Zheng stood up and said in a clear voice,""Zhen is preparing to choose a day to worship Mount Tai.”
"Of course, it has been more than 800 years since a king of the human world came to Mount Tai to worship.”
"Today, I have summoned all of you to obtain the method of the Pilgrimage!”
After all, scholars like Guo Lin who were not afraid of death were in the minority. Most of the scholars who opposed Ying Zheng would choose not to come.
At this moment, the seventy or so Confucian scholars in the tent all hoped to use this opportunity to advance.
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, they immediately shouted out the etiquette rules that they had already made up.
"Your Majesty, Mount Tai is a sacred mountain. Your Majesty, you should wrap the wheels with cattail grass to prevent damaging the vegetation on the mountain. As long as a blade of grass is damaged, the Pilgrimage Ceremony will not succeed.”
"Wrong! Your Majesty, when worshipping the Emperor of Heaven, you should imitate the ancient etiquette. You should sweep the floor and sit on the mat. The mountain road should be covered with mats made of stalks. Your Majesty should climb up the steps to show your sincerity!”
"Your Majesty, you're wrong. During the Pilgrimage Ceremony, you should kowtow to the heavens from the foot of Mount Tai. Only then can you convey Your Majesty's sincerity to the heavens!”
The confucian scholars all said different things, and they even conflicted with each other.
However, this was the best opportunity to lick Qin Shihuang's boots. How could they give up?
For a moment, dozens of Confucian scholars were debating whose point of view was correct. They directly fought, and shoes and hats flew everywhere!
Looking at the ridiculous scene before him, Ying Zheng was so angry that his fingers were trembling.
"Ridiculous! How absurd!"
"Is this the ritual of Mount Tai?”
The group of scholars looked at each other. Chunyu Yue turned around and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, after all, it has been more than eight hundred years since the last time we went to the Pilgrimage Ceremony.”
"Nowadays, most of the rites of worship have been lost. Many great scholars have only picked up one or two of them, or they have been annotated by later generations.”
"This humble subject believes that as long as Your Majesty gives us some time, the many great Confucians will be able to sort out the ritual of Mount Tai's Fengshan.”
"Mount Tai," Ying Zheng said coldly."Do we need to walk up the mountain?"”
Mount Tai, Year Three!
Even if the road was meticulously repaired in the future, it would still take five hours to climb to the top of the mountain.
And now, these Confucian scholars were actually asking Ying Zheng to walk up the mountain step by step along the narrow and steep mountain path?
Ying Zheng was already forty years old, and among the courtiers, there were even old ministers like Yang Duanhe who were around a hundred years old.
If they really went up and down like this, half of the courtiers would probably fall ill!
A Confucian scholar stepped forward and cupped his hands.”
"There are no roads on Mount Tai because the three emperors, five emperors, and seventy-two kings all walk up the mountain!”
"Why is Your Majesty making an exception now?”
Ying Zheng's gaze turned colder as he looked at the Confucian scholars.
Do you really think that I don't know that the so-called tidying up etiquette is just a unified statement of more than seventy people?
Do you really think that I don't know that the so-called need to walk up is to make things difficult for me?
Ying Zheng rose slowly and said in a deep voice,""The rules are set by people, and they should be changed at the right time!”
"In the past, the seventy-two kings were unable to build roads, but I can!”
"Feng Chang!" Ying Zheng shouted loudly,"Since the ritual of Mount Tai is no longer held in the world, we shall offer sacrifices to the four Heavenly Emperors with the ritual of Great Qin!”
Feng Chang Zhao Li immediately bowed and said,"This lowly subject accepts your orders!"
The group of Confucians looked at each other.
The opportunity to advance was gone?
Chun Yu Yue took a step forward."Your Majesty, the important matters of the country lie in the sacrifice!”
"If you don't respect the four emperors, you'll definitely be punished by the heavens!”
"Are the gifts of the Great Qin Empire indecent?" Ying Zheng said coldly.”
"This matter is settled!”
Ying Zheng was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the admonitions of these Confucian scholars. He immediately ordered Zhang Han to start building the road.
In just five days, the mountain path from the foot of Mount Tai to the top of Mount Tai had been widened several times.
Five days later, Ying Zheng finally rode on a six-horse carriage, bringing the civil and military officials to Mount Tai.
However, right at the moment when Ying Zheng's convoy arrived at Mount Tai's mountain road…
Thunder rumbled and rain poured!
The Confucian scholars who had come to watch the ceremony immediately burst into laughter.
"This kind of virtue is not worthy of the Lord, and you still want to go to Mount Tai to worship? How can the Heavenly Emperor allow this?"
"Heh, Emperor? This kid's achievements weren't great, but his tone was not small.”
"In the past, Duke Huan of Qi attempted to hold a summit on Mount Tai, but he was dissuaded by Guan Zhong and returned in embarrassment. Now, the King of Qin wants to hold a summit on Mount Tai, but he is still unwilling to return despite the advice of all the Confucian scholars. This is the difference between a wise ruler and a foolish ruler!”
Inside the six-horse carriage, Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the lightning and thunder outside the carriage and listened to the sarcastic remarks of those Confucian scholars.
"This one's contributions surpass the Three Emperors and my virtues surpass the Five Emperors!”
"I am the First Emperor of Great Qin. I pacified the chaos of the world and established the foundation of ten thousand generations!”
"Why am I not worthy of Mount Tai's worship ceremony?”
Ever since he entered Langya County, Ying Zheng had been despised, slandered, and spurned.
Some Confucian scholars rushed to the eastern convoy and insulted Ying Zheng.
More people were spreading bad words about Ying Zheng among the people.
Ying Zheng wanted to gather the Confucian scholars, but only seventy or so of them came, with the intention of using this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, while also making things difficult for Ying Zheng.
Now, Ying Zheng was finally going to start the Pilgrimage on Mount Tai, and the sky was beginning to rain and thunder again.
As the one Emperor of all time, how could he accept such humiliation!
At the same time, more than 50 cavalrymen rushed over, covered in dust.
Qin Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the six-horse carriage parked at the mountain pass.
"I finally made it!"
