Chapter 148 I have been toyed with by you two for two days!
Compared with the conflict between mother and son, Ying Zheng was more concerned about the attitudes of successive kings.
Before tonight, even if the kings of the past generations did not like Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would not be particularly uncomfortable. He would only bear the pressure silently, create a larger territory and declare to the kings of the past generations in the future. I am the most suitable King of Qin, even the best King of Qin. If you abandon me, you are blind!
But tonight, the scene of thirty-seven successive kings devouring imps deeply shocked Ying Zheng's soul.
My ancestors turned out to be so powerful, they could even eat ghosts!
If we could be protected by the kings of the past generations, wouldn’t we no longer have to fear evil spirits and ghosts?
But the performance of successive kings made Ying Zheng very uncomfortable.
They are also the descendants of King Zhuang Xiang. Why are the kings of all generations willing to communicate with the king's brother but unwilling to communicate with others?
I have not yet taken charge of the government, and many government orders and national policies are not decided by me. Even if the ancestors are dissatisfied, they will not anger me.
I have been taking advantage of my own strength since I ascended the throne. Finally tonight, I took advantage of the game between various forces to purge the court on a large scale and gained the opportunity to control the power of Qin. I performed better than many Qin kings. outstanding.
I ask myself that I have never been ashamed of the kings of the past generations and the country of Qin!
But why did the kings of all generations dislike me so much that they even refused to nod to me?
Yingzheng is aggrieved!
Looking at Ying Zheng's sincere eyes, the corners of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched slightly: "Brother, were you distracted and worried about this just now?"
Ying Zheng asked in return: "Lee Dai Guojun doesn’t even want to look at me. Isn’t this worth worrying about?”
Ying Chengyu spread his hands: "Brother, is there a possibility that those flames just now are not the spirits of the kings of the past at all?"
"The reason why they didn't nod to brother before disappearing is purely because "I didn't give any instructions in advance."
Ying Zheng kicked his right foot hard and rushed to Ying Chengyun. He held the back of Ying Chengyun's head with his right hand and covered Ying Chengyun's with his left hand. Sin, he shouted in a low voice: "Brother Wang, be careful what you say!"
"Brother, I know that you have a ruthless nature and often say strange things in your mouth, but how can I, the kings of the Qin Dynasty, be allowed to do what you want? You’re lying?”
“Even if the kings of the past generations value you and are willing to communicate with you, you must not be arrogant, otherwise you will be punished by the kings of the past generations!”
"Have you ever written it down?"
Ying Chengyu nodded frantically.
Seeing Ying Chengyun's sincere attitude, Ying Zhengcai finally slowly lowered his left hand, but his eyes were still watching Ying Chengyun warily.
As long as Ying Chengyu dares to say a weird thing, Ying Zheng will cover Ying Chengyu's mouth again!
Ying Chengyu quickly backed away, his back pressed against the car board, and said seriously: "Brother, what I just said is true... don't cover your mouth!"
Grabbing Ying Zheng's wrist with both hands, Ying Chengyu said repeatedly: "There is no such thing as the arrival of the kings of the past generations!"
"My brother and Lao Ai are just pretending to be the kings of the past generations to deceive people. That’s all!”
Ying Zheng shouted angrily: “You idiot, how dare you continue to talk nonsense?”
“The scenes where the kings of the Qin Dynasty appeared with my own eyes!”
"You and Na Lao Ai can fool all the people with your words, how can you invite the kings of the past to cooperate with you?"
"Hurry up and confess to the kings of all generations!"
Ying Zheng was anxious and angry, fearing that Ying Chengyu would offend the kings of all generations, causing the kings of all generations to withdraw their love for Ying Chengyu.
Ying Chengyu tilted his head back to avoid Ying Zheng's hand, and quickly replied: "Brother, give me a chance!"
"I'll show you!"
" No one can lie to you!”
Seeing Ying Chengyu's anxious and sincere look, Ying Zheng slowly retracted his hand and asked in a deep voice: "How do you want to demonstrate?"
Ying Chengyu took the opportunity to break away and took out a narrow knife from his arms. He opened a pottery jar and explained carefully: "This jar contains a kind of gas."
"I call it phosphine. If you want to call it any other name, you can."
“This kind of gas can burn at a very low temperature, and you don’t even need to borrow an open flame.”
“Just like this!” As he spoke, Ying Chengyu opened the cork of the bottle. , rub your fingers hard on the mouth of the clay pot.
After a while, the heat generated by friction ignited the phosphine in the bottle, and a blue-white flame rose from the mouth of the bottle!
Watching the flames rising, Ying Zheng felt a thrill in his heart.
Ying Zheng immediately sat up straight, bowed his hands in front of the flames, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know where the ghosts and gods are in front of you. Lord Chang'an is young and ignorant, and there are many troubles."
"I don't know. This year I must give you a hundred sacrifices, don’t be surprised!”
After saying that, Ying Zheng glared at Ying Chengqi: “Why don’t you apologize quickly!”
Ying Chengxuan explained seriously: "Brother, this is just a flame produced by burning gas, and it has nothing to do with ghosts and gods!"
"Look!" Ying Chengxuan covered the bottle with a cork, and with his right hand A puddle: "The fire is out!"
Ying Chengyu opened the stopper again and rubbed the mouth of the bottle with his fingers: "Look, it's on fire again!"
"Hey, it's on fire again It’s gone!”
“Hey, it’s on fire again”
After going back and forth several times, Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Zheng seriously: "Brother Wang, if this is really a spirit of ghosts and gods, how could it be possible for me to be played with like this!"
Looking at being played with by Ying Chengyu The will-o'-the-wisp between the palms of his hands, the obsession in Ying Zheng's heart showed signs of collapse.
If this flame is really a ghost, then the ghosts and gods are too weak!
Ying Zheng murmured in a daze and asked: "So, it is fake?"
Ying Chengyu slapped his thigh: "Yes! They are all fake!"
< br>
"The thirty-seven fires that Lao Ai made last night were actually caused by Ying Qing's subordinates holding thirty-seven such bottles and igniting the phosphine contained in them."
" The same goes for my brother!"
"With my kind words, Ying Qing handed over all the bottles, and the seventy-four flames that were lit before and after were all used in this way!"
"If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few eighty bottles left in Ying Qing's hand, I could even have staged a scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night!"
Ying Zheng firmly believed that ghosts and gods must exist.
But now, Ying Chengyu told him logically and smoothly that the so-called ghosts and gods were just flames produced after some qi was ignited.
Ying Chengyu’s words punched Ying Zheng’s firm world view and gave Ying Zheng a heavy blow!
However, Ying Zheng’s inherent world view has not been completely shattered, and he still insisted on questioning: "Then what you said on the palace wall about the monster entering the body and the thirty-seven little ghosts..."
Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, Ying Chengyu rushed to answer: "My brother made it all up."
"Lao Ai has gained the trust of many people through the power of ghosts and gods. If my brother just said No one will believe the truth.”
"The people of Qin believe deeply in ghosts and gods. If I say that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, I may become the laughing stock of the Qin Dynasty!"
"In this case, I took advantage of the trick and made up a story based on Lao Ai's performance last night. "
"In this way, the people of Qin will not only no longer doubt that the world has abandoned the elder brother, but will even support the elder brother more firmly. "
The education he received in his previous life made Ying Chengyu not believe in ghosts and gods. existence.
But the time travel made Ying Chengyu unable to accept the existence of supernatural power.
Therefore, Ying Chengyu has always stayed away from things involving ghosts and gods. If he can't offend me, why can't he hide away?
But when Lao Ai resorted to pretending to be a ghost, Ying Chengyu had no choice!
Breaking superstition is an extremely difficult and time-consuming task.
Even in the general environment of prevailing materialism in later generations, there are still so many people who firmly believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, let alone Daqin, which firmly believes in the existence of ghosts and gods even in the general environment.
Ying Chengyu does not have that much time to change the worldview of the entire Qin Dynasty, or even the entire world.
Ying Chengyu could only use his tricks to trick everyone in the world into getting on the right track with his more exquisite acting skills and more realistic scripts.
Ying Chengxuan looked at Ying Zheng sincerely: "It is not my intention to deceive the world, but I have to do it." "But I will not deceive my elder brother!"
"That's the fact. There are no ghosts from previous generations of kings, no monsters, and no imps. It's just bottle after bottle of phosphine helping my brother and Lao Ai to fool the world, that's all!"< br>
Ying Zheng could not help but feel loss, shame and anger.
It turns out that it is a lie that the kings of the past generations abandoned the widowed, and it is also a lie that the kings of the past generations protected the widowed.
As the king of Great Qin, I was toyed with by Wang Di and Lao Ai for two days!
Two whole days!
I have not discovered any flaws!
But Ying Zheng was also a little lucky in his heart.
At least, the kings of the Great Qin Dynasty never even looked at me!
Ying Zheng asked with some embarrassment: "Are you deceiving the people of the world by pretending to be the kings of the past?!"
"Lao Ai is a traitor who should be punished, are you the same? A traitor? "
"What you did is a great disrespect to the kings of all generations!"
Ying Chengxuan said helplessly: "It is urgent to obey the authority!"
"At worst, I'll go back to the ancestral temple to apologize to my ancestors."
Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "That's not true."
"When this matter is over, brother I will take you back to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and ask for their forgiveness!”
Ying Chengyu smiled and handed over his hands: “I obey!”
Seeing Ying Zheng’s attitude. After the improvement, Ying Chengyu immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "Brother, if you look deeply into many seemingly abnormal things in this world, you can find the reasons."
"But because we lack understanding of the world and are afraid of the unknown, we make up all kinds of ghosts and gods to explain the anomalies, making the unknown known to ease our minds."
Ying Zheng His brows furrowed: "Brother Wang, these words are extremely disrespectful to the ghosts and gods of all places!"
Ying Chengyu spread his hands: "I have been disrespectful to the ghosts and gods for a long time, but I am still living well."
"If ghosts and gods really have unpredictable powers, why haven't I punished my brother yet?"
Ying Zheng shouted angrily: "Be careful what you say!"
"My brother is loved by the world and can find a glimmer of hope in desperate situations, but he must not be arrogant because of his favor!"
Knowing that Ying Zheng was afraid that he would be hurt, Ying Chengyu did not argue, and changed the subject. : "Let's talk about this time."
"Blue and white flames are often seen on graves."
"When the Guizhou leaders saw the blue and white flames suddenly rising under the night, they subconsciously I just thought it was ghosts and gods.”
“But if you know the inside story, you can understand that it has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, it’s just my brother’s trick!”
Ying Chengxuan said sincerely: "This time, I used the trick just to help my brother win the hearts of the people."
"Afterwards, I told my eldest brother exactly what was going on, so that he also understood the trick." .”
“But how many people in the world can be honest with the eldest brother like a brother?”
“As the king of Qin, the eldest brother has a high position, and there will definitely be people with evil intentions in the future. Murdering the eldest brother."
"What if they also use other tricks to deceive the eldest brother?"
"Brother, believe less in ghosts and gods, and learn more about the world!"
In his previous life, Ying Chengyu knew that Ying Zheng believed in ghosts and gods, and sought immortality and immortality.
But it will take Ying Chengyu this lifetime to understand how deeply Ying Zheng believes in ghosts and gods.
For Ying Zheng, the existence of ghosts and gods in this world is as simple and needless to think as the fact that people need to eat when they are hungry.
So it is very logical for Ying Zheng to take elixirs and seek immortals.
Ying Zheng took it for granted that immortals and gods must exist, but they were just hidden in the nooks and crannies that he didn't know about.
In order to change Ying Zheng’s concept, Ying Chengyu really worried!
Looking at Ying Chengyu’s earnest words and motherly expression, Ying Zheng’s face felt a little hot.
I am your eldest brother. Don’t you want to lose face?
Ying Zheng abruptly changed the subject: "Give me the bottle."
"I want to see what kind of energy can actually deceive everyone in the world!"
Taking the bottle, Ying Zheng rubbed the mouth of the bottle like a dragon to raise a flame, then put the stopper on it to extinguish the flame, playing Er was very excited and asked: "Where did this energy come from? How much did it cost? How many people know the inside story?"
While asking the question, Ying Zheng had already begun to think about how to use this energy.
Since the people of Qin can be deceived by the flames ignited by this Qi, there is no reason that the soldiers and civilians of other countries will not be deceived.
Great Qin can completely use this energy to create chaos in other countries and provide favorable conditions for Great Qin's campaign!
Ying Chengyu patiently explained: "If it is not used on a large scale, there will be no cost."
"Graves, battlefields, death pits and other pits where corpses are buried will all have this energy. Just collect the bottles slowly. All you need is some bottles and jars."
"As for the people who know about this, I have asked them."
"Except you and me. , Ying Qing, no one else knows about it except my family soldiers and more than 40 of Ying Qing’s trusted officials.”
“But I can’t guarantee that there are other alchemists who know the existence of this energy and even use it. This energy is causing chaos and must be guarded against!”
Ying Chengyu said a lot, but Ying Zheng's head was buzzing just after hearing the second sentence, and the hand holding the jar was trembling slightly.
Ying Chengyu hurriedly asked: "Brother, are you okay?"
Ying Zheng looked at the jar in his hand, his voice trembling: "Where did the gas in this jar come from? ?"
Ying Chengyu spread his hands: "I never asked him so clearly."
"But according to Ying Qing's account, he mainly buried the jars in the sacrifice pit and the kings of the past. "In the tomb of the deceased."
There is only one corpse in a single grave, and it is very likely that phosphine cannot be generated due to various problems.
But the sacrificial pits used for sacrifices are often filled with dozens of corpses and are rich in materials.
There are even more corpses in the burial pit.
Sixty-six people died when Duke Wu of Qin Dynasty died. By the time of Duke Mu of Qin, the number had soared to 177. By the time of Duke Jinggong of Qin, the number had risen to 186. After that, the number of Qin kings The number of burials is gradually increasing.
How much phosphine must be generated!
Ying Qing doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, so of course he will choose the most convenient method to collect phosphine.
But Ying Chengyu’s natural words once again gave Ying Zheng a critical blow.
After a few breaths of silence, Ying Zheng quickly capped the stopper, respectfully placed the jar on the table, and asked with a trembling voice:
"What if the jar contains Qi is collected from the place after death. Do you know that this Qi is not the spirit of the dead?”
This jar of Qi may have been collected from the tomb of King Xiaowen, or it may have been collected from Zhuang Xiang. Tomb of the King.
So what was he doing just now?
Are you playing with his biological father and biological grandfather? !
What a sin! ! !
