The crowded people of Qin also raised their heads and looked in the direction of the cauldron.
From the beginning, I thought it was the Kyushu Cauldron, and now so many people are saying that the big cauldron is a fake cauldron. Some people even stood up and told the origin of the big cauldron in detail, and even saw it with their own eyes.
Now, not to mention the Qin nobles' sons and daughters who were watching in restaurants and shops, even the people of Qin who were crowded with people all knew it in their hearts.
The tripod is fake!
There is no Kyushu Cauldron at all, and Bai Yan has never found the Kyushu Cauldron.
At this moment, countless people watched Lord Chongquan in the distance leading the palace guards to the big cauldron. They were all curious about what crime Bai Yan would be punished for sending the fake cauldron to Xianyang and dedicating it to Ying Zheng.
Bai Yan's actions caused the Qin State and Qin King Yingzheng to lose face!
"Look, it's about to be revealed!"
Amidst the endless noise, there was an exclamation, and almost instantly, everywhere the naked eye could see, whether it was the surrounding people or scholars from various countries, all looked towards the direction of the cauldron.
In front of the big cauldron.
Ying Kan led the palace guards to the main hall and stopped in front of everyone. He looked at the covered cauldron in front of him, took a deep breath, sighed, and stretched out his hand to pull out his sword.
The noisy sounds around him gradually became less and quieter, and Ying Kan knew clearly that everyone was watching him.
Looking at the big cauldron in front of him, Ying Kan's face was full of worry, knowing the consequences once the cloth was lifted.
But Ying Zheng's order, as well as countless Qin people, nobles, and officials were all watching, and Ying Kan really couldn't find any chance to help Bai Yan cover up the matter.
Thinking of Ying Zheng's face on one side and Bai Yan on the other.
In this choice, Ying Kan, who is a member of the Ying family, hardly hesitated. He gently raised his other hand, grasped the thick rope, and started cutting the rope with a sharp sword.
With the blade, the thick rope was quickly cut.
Looking at the big cauldron that had lost its rope binding in front of him, Ying Kan took two steps back with his sword in hand. He watched as the palace guards stepped forward one after another and took away the severed thick rope. The other palace guards stepped forward and lifted up the giant cloth.
In an instant.
A huge cauldron appeared in front of Ying Kan.
The sturdy legs of the big tripod are very delicate, and there are vague seal characters. However, what makes Ying Kan's eyes even more surprised is that as the cover is lifted, there are exquisite patterns on the body of the tripod, and the mountains and rivers are clearly visible.
.
Although he knew it was a fake tripod, Ying Kan was still surprised by the fake tripod when he saw it for the first time.
Not only Yingkan, but also the people of Qin State, as well as the children of the gentry and women who were very close to the cauldron on the street, all widened their eyes when they saw the cauldron. After looking at each other, they started talking in low voices.
, his words were full of exclamation.
“What a beautiful tripod!”
"I didn't expect that there would be such a scene in the big cauldron!"
"Look, there are not only mountains and rivers up there, but also strange beasts..."
There were noisy exclamations all around, and so did the people in the distance. After the huge cloth was lifted, everyone couldn't move their eyes away when they saw the cauldron for the first time.
Even in the capital of the Qin State, there are countless high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and famous families, and there are tall buildings and exquisite mansions everywhere. But with such an exquisite tripod, not to mention the common people, there are countless noble families in Xianyang City.
I have never seen the children of powerful people.
It's so exquisite! And it's definitely not the noble family who would spend so much energy to cast such a large cauldron.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ying Kan had just withdrawn his gaze, and was about to put away his sword and ask someone to come and inspect the cauldron. He heard the noisy chatter of the people, and Ying Kan instinctively agreed in his heart.
"Indeed, there are mountains, rivers, and exotic beasts carved on it. It really looks like Kyushu..."
As he was thinking about it, Ying Kan suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he froze on the spot, with a thought vaguely emerging in his mind.
wrong!
When he raised his head again, Ying Kan stood there in a daze, staring straight at the huge cauldron in front of him.
Looking at the mountains and rivers pattern above, Ying Kan seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils shrank.
This tripod!!!
Is it possible, is it true...
On the street in the distance, due to the distance, only the general outline of the cauldron can be seen from a distance. However, as the people passed it on one by one, among the sea of people, the speed of propagation increased with the noisy discussion.
Spread quickly.
This also allows people even in far away places to quickly know what is happening through the comments of the people.
"Mountains and rivers? Alien beasts?"
Nie Kuan, who was wearing commoner clothes, looked at the people of Qin who were whispering around him, and frowned slightly as he listened to the discussion.
Back then, he had seen the Song family's tripod with his own eyes. Although there were mountains and rivers, he had never seen pictures of strange beasts on it.
strangeness!
Nie Kuan couldn't help but look at the huge cauldron in the distance. For some reason, Nie Kuan suddenly had an illusion when looking at it from a distance. He felt that the cauldron seemed much bigger than that night.
In the end, Nie Kuan just thought it was an illusion. After all, it was very dark that night, and under the light of the fire, he was in a hurry, so he would inevitably remember it wrong.
As curious as Nie Kuan, there are Kuang Jing, Ji Sheng, Xiang Bo, Xiang Ji and others who are hidden among the common people and scholars. At this moment, when they heard about the big tripod, they all looked at it with doubts.
The direction of the cauldron.
"Mountains and strange beasts?"
Xiang Ji and Xiang Bo looked at each other. Although they had already learned from the news that the big tripod was built by the king of Song when the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and was later kept by his descendants after more than a hundred years, but the news they received
, there is no mention of the Great Cauldron and these things.
The two confused brothers could only frown slightly in the end.
"The Song Dynasty was a prosperous country in the past. It is not impossible for the great cauldron cast by the Song king to carve mountains and rivers and strange animals!"
After Xiang Bo glanced at the densely packed Qin people around him, he thought for a while and told his brother what he was thinking. While analyzing, he also comforted his brother who was worried.
And while Xiang Bo was talking to his brother, in the distance.
"Exotic beast?"
When Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian, Mr. Wei and others heard the conversation among the people, they all looked at each other with puzzled faces.
Could it be that the fake tripod also has mountains, rivers, and strange beasts?
Seeing other scholars and old men not far away, they crowded towards the big cauldron in the sea of people. They wanted to get a closer look. Old Chen and others were also curious and could not care about so many people. When they saw Ying Zheng, they did not stop them.
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the distant cauldron.
"what happened?"
"I don't know! I seem to have heard that there are also strange beasts from the mountains and rivers in the tripod!"
"What a coincidence?"
On the other side, among the streets, the loudest people talking were the numerous Qin officials. The other Qin people were worried that they would be scolded by the palace guards or Qin soldiers, but as Qin officials, they did not have such worries.
.
So as the discussions of the people around him fell into the ears of Qin officials, every Qin official started talking one after another at this time, without any hesitation about the sound.
One of the officials instinctively said, "Such a coincidence", which was heard by Ying Zheng who was standing on the carriage in the sunset.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at the big cauldron in the distance.
However, when he stood on the carriage and looked at the cauldron, he noticed from the corner of his eye not far away, a man in commoner clothes who claimed to be named 'Song Zi'. Thinking back to what he had just said, the look on Ying Zheng's face changed.
I couldn't help but feel sad.
This man personally took Bai Yan to salvage the tripod that had fallen into Surabaya.
Think of this.
Ying Zheng's face was full of gloom, and his eyes flashed sharply. He had a vague hunch that the matter might have something to do with this person.
However, Ying Zheng's forbearance made his eyes fleeting. After sighing slightly, he calmed down the emotions in his heart and waited for them to change.
Regarding the fake tripod, we can only wait until today and then order people to investigate quietly.
However, looking around, he could clearly see that there were too many scholars from Qi and Chu in the crowd to count. Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of the actions of the Qi and Chu scholars who refused to join Qin as officials.
The same warm anger could not help but emerge in Ying Zheng's heart.
Fortunately, no matter how angry Ying Zheng was at this time, he also knew that he would never be an enemy of the scholars in the world. Not only did the Qin State need scholars as officials in the future, but also for a long time, even the vast majority of officials in the Qin State's court were in conflict with many
Famous people have connections, either through old friends or disciples, and there are even some people who are related to each other through marriage.
If Ying Zheng mobilizes all the scholars, he will not only force the scholars and noble families in the world to unite.
Even the Qin court will no longer support him.
Ying Zheng knows better than anyone what the consequences will be for a King of Qin who loses the support of the Qin court. This is why when he saw those old men just now, even though Ying Zheng was already very angry even though he knew he was being plotted, he still endured it.
Treat the old people politely.
"How great it would be if it were the Kyushu Cauldron!"
Ying Zheng stood on the carriage and looked at the scholars. While sighing, there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
Everything is done secretly! Since it is a calculation, naturally not many people will know about it. Therefore, looking at the celebrities who could not get high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the past, although Ying Zheng has resentment in his heart, he also knows that those celebrities,
Now it is all because of Jiuzhou Ding that we have come all the way to Xianyang.
And when I think about it, there are too many famous people in the world who don't know about it yet. Once they know it, they will definitely be curious and want to go to Qin to confirm it.
Coupled with the Kyushu tripod, it represents the moral meaning.
"At that time, why should I worry about not being able to meet famous people?"
Ying Zheng said softly instinctively.
After sighing softly and looking at the big cauldron in the distance, Ying Zheng also knew that Bai Yan had been tricked into sending the fake cauldron.
But for the Kyushu Cauldron, Bai Yan cannot be blamed.
In the entire world, there are countless princes and kings, countless powerful people, famous families, and people in the world. After fifty years, no one has seen the Jiuzhou Ding again or heard any news about the Jiuzhou Ding.
Bai Yan had already united his troops to win the government for him, and destroyed Wei State in an unexpected way.
Is there anything else that Ying Zheng is not satisfied with?
How can a king have any complaints when he has such talented generals?
This is a truth that Ying Zhengguan has always understood, especially when he thinks about the young Bai Yan, who just wanted to fulfill his grandmother's promise and came all the way from Qi to Qin.
"How can I blame you for what I have done to you? I don't blame you for this!"
Ying Zheng thought of Bai Yan, looked at the big cauldron in the distance, shook his head slightly, and had already made up his mind.
Everyone in the world said that Ying Zheng was a man of little kindness but a wolf-hearted man. He was easy to get rid of others when he was in agreement, and he also despised others when he was successful. However, they did not know that in the eyes of Ying Zheng, he would never let what happened to Le Yi and Li Mu happen in Qin Dynasty.
country.
On the streets of Xianyang City.
"What a beautiful cauldron, this is the first time I've seen it!"
"Really, what is that strange beast above?!"
Not far away from the big cauldron, listening to the dense discussion around them, Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian and others gradually approached the big cauldron. As the distance got closer, the patterns on the big cauldron were soon reflected on several people.
In sight.
When they saw the pattern on it clearly, whether it was Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian, or Mr. Wei, all of them were stunned in place. Even at this moment, they all doubted their own eyes.
impossible!!!!
Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian and others were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe the big cauldron they saw in front of them.
This is... Jiuding!
It’s really Kyushu Cauldron!!!
Looking at the big cauldron in front of them, it turned out to be the Jiuzhou Cauldron they had seen decades ago. Elder Chen and others almost wondered if they were dreaming. The Jiuzhou Cauldron had disappeared for nearly fifty years.
In the past ten years, according to rumors, in the past fifty years, countless people have gone one after another to search for the Kyushu Cauldron. There are still stubborn people who are still looking for it, but without exception, no one has ever heard of the Kyushu Cauldron. Even if there is,
They are also all fake.
Let alone actually find the Kyushu Cauldron.
Including them, generations of people who have been looking for the tripod, as well as everyone in the world, have given up hope and thought that they would never see the Nine Provinces tripod again.
As a result, the Kyushu Cauldron suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Nine...Jiuzhou Cauldron! How is that possible!"
Mr. Chen and others came to the big cauldron and reached out to touch the carvings at close range. They would never admit their mistake about the Kyushu cauldron that they had been proud of for decades and talked about countless times. This was exactly what they wanted.
Kyushu Cauldron!
Looking at the Jiuzhou Cauldron in front of them, they felt as if they were not in Xianyang, if there were not countless people around them, and if their hands were not already wrinkled. When they touched the Kyushu Cauldron, they seemed to have gone back more than fifty years ago.
More than fifty years ago, they were like this, looking at the Kyushu Cauldron in front of them.
At that time, they were young and arrogant, and were born into noble families. At that time, Qi State was coexisting with Qin State in the east and west. At that time, their father, mother, clansmen, and grandfather were all there...
Familiar faces, as well as the sacrificial scenes of Qi State, the royal palaces of Qi State, the lively streets of Qi State, and the scenes of Qi State’s prosperity fifty years ago, flashed through my mind again...
When I woke up again, I looked at the extremely familiar Jiuzhou Cauldron in my memory.
Fifty years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and things have changed and people have changed.
Old men such as Mr. Chen and Mr. Tian could not help but tremble and their eyes turned red.
"It's really the Kyushu Cauldron!"
Mr. Tian burst into tears. He took a step back, faced the cauldron directly, and knelt down. Perhaps only Mr. Tian knew the meaning of this kneeling.
Ying Kan on the side also looked at Jiuding with a blank expression. It was not until he saw the appearance of these old men and listened to their murmurs that he suddenly realized that a touch of excitement instantly appeared on his face. Without caring about anything else, Ying Kan quickly put up his arms.
With the cloth hanging in front of his official uniform, he turned around and hurried towards Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!"
Almost all the people of Qin, as well as scholars and merchants from other countries, all saw Ying Kan running hurriedly on the street guarded by the palace guards.
Seeing how funny Ying Kan was, running in a hurry like a child, most people realized that something was wrong, especially when they turned their heads and looked at those old white-haired old men, all of whom were silent.
In front of the big cauldron, one of them even knelt down while touching the big cauldron.
Didn’t you say it was a fake tripod?
"what happened?"
"I do not know!!!"
…
On the streets of Xianyang City, many palace guards of the State of Qin were holding long swords and standing on both sides of the street and looking around vigilantly. The guards of the Zhongche Palace Guards also rode on horseback to guard both sides.
And in a heavily guarded place, Zhao Gao, dressed in eunuch attire, stood beside the carriage, looking puzzled at Ying Kan, who was hurriedly running in the distance.
"Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty!!!!"
Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Gao, Li Si, Wang Wan, Wei Liao, and other civil and military officials, Ying Kan hurried to the carriage. When he saw Ying Zheng's gaze, he immediately raised his hand and saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng, who had no hope, also came to his senses and looked at Ying Kan.
After deciding to keep Bai Yan, Ying Zheng had already made preparations. As the fake tripod was announced, all the officials took the opportunity to admonish Bai Yan.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the tripod is the Jiuzhou tripod!!!"
Win the report.
As soon as these words came out, Li Si, Wang Wan, Wei Liao and others beside the carriage all looked at Ying Kan in surprise. Zhao Gao also had a face full of surprise and a strange look in his eyes.
And the most astonished person should probably be Ying Zheng, who didn't have any expectations just now.
Listening to Ying Kan's report, Ying Zheng was a little unable to react. After a breath, when Ying Zheng came back to his senses and reacted, the expression on his face gradually became solid, and then his whole body was shocked.
What did Ying Kan say?
That big cauldron...
Le Yi led the army to destroy Qi. Later, due to the distrust of the King of Yan, he left the State of Yan. The State of Qi was restored. However, the King of Yan regretted it and sent a letter to Le Yi.
Li Mu, because of Guo Kai's frame-up, did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died in the temple persecution.
