Chapter 335

~6 min read 1,108 words

"Rebellious son! You merely wish to bewitch me with these things, fearing I would reclaim the imperial throne!"

He spoke in fury, then left directly!

Moreover, he took everything away.

But... it must be said that tea brewed in a purple clay pot tastes much, much better than tea brewed in a copper pot!

It has a light fragrance!

Thus, he became even more obsessed with tea!

Originally intending to drink two cakes a day, now he almost drinks three cakes a day.

And, besides drinking tea, he discovered a person here at Ying Su's place!

A person of great talent!

Li Taibai!

His learning can truly be said to span from ancient times to the present.

Especially the way he composes poems off the cuff, it makes Seeing Ying Zheng absolutely love him!

"Before my bed, the moonlight shines, I suspect it is frost upon the ground."

"I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, I lower my head and think of my hometown."

"The Heavenly Gate breaks the Chu River, green waters flow east and turn back here."

"On both banks, green mountains face each other, a lone sail comes from the side of the sun."

These are the two poems Seeing Ying Zheng likes most!

The first one, every time he reads it, reminds him of the scene outside the suburbs of Xianyang City!

A home he cannot return to!

A palace he cannot enter!

This makes him break with rage!

It also reminds him of those difficult years!

The latter poem, he was completely attracted by its momentum!

However, these two poems are merely liked; what truly makes him obsessed is another poem!

"The Qin Wang sweeps the six harmonies, sitting like a tiger, how majestic!"

"Wielding a sword to cut through floating clouds, the feudal lords all come from the west!"

Domineering!

Unmatched domineering spirit!

Moreover, this is a poem Li Taibai composed specifically for him!

This poem made Seeing Ying Zheng so excited he couldn't sleep for several days and nights!

Every time he reads this poem, it reminds him of the high spirits of unifying the six states and sweeping the world!

"Li Taibai, come, follow my heavy burden to the Test Works Room again!"

On the way to the Test Works Room, Seeing Ying Zheng happened to meet Li Bai.

He directly invited him to visit the Test Works Room!

At the same time, he asked Li Taibai to compose another poem!

Li Bai casually composed a poem called "Song of the Knight-Errant"!

"A Zhao guest with a loose tassel, the Wu hook shines like frost and snow."

"Silver saddles shine on white horses, galloping swiftly like a meteor."

"In ten steps, one kills a man, in a thousand li, no trace remains."

"When the deed is done, he brushes his clothes and leaves, hiding his body and name deep."

"Leisurely passing by Xinling to drink, he draws his sword across his knees."

"He offers roasted meat to Zhu Hai, holding a cup to urge Hou Ying."

"Three cups and a promise is spoken, the five great mountains turn to light."

"After eyes blur and ears heat, high spirits rise like a white rainbow."

"I... I..."

After the poem was composed, Seeing Ying Zheng was stunned into numbness!

This "Song of the Knight-Errant" has unparalleled momentum!

Especially the lines "In ten steps, one kills a man, in a thousand li, no trace remains," they make Seeing Ying Zheng's blood boil!

And the lines praising Lord Xinling, Wei Wei Wuji, also shocked him!

Lord Xinling!

He was absolutely a hero of his generation!

But how to say it, his character was just too good, he had no rebellious intent!

If he had even a tiny bit of rebellious intent, he could have killed the King of Wei, and the State of Wei would surely have become powerful!

But then again, if the State of Wei had become powerful, where would the current situation of unifying the world be?

He sighed continuously!

Finally, he and Li Bai went to the Test Works Room together!

He wanted to see cannons, see guns, and even more so, see porcelain, paper, movable type printing, and so on!

He could not put down any of these things!

In every single item, he saw the hope of a strong nation!

He even wondered: if he were to master all these things, how mighty would the Great Qin become in his hands?

Truly, it would have both martial might and financial power!

Every time he thought of this, he grew excited!

Especially the cannons, the muskets, and even the repeating musket that Dai Xin is currently developing—this made him even more excited!

Remember, it can fire continuously, and its range reaches a terrifying five hundred paces, far exceeding even the range of the heavy crossbow!

The key is that it is light and easy to carry!

Imagine the Qin Army of the future, every soldier wielding a repeating musket; where in this world would there be any rival?

Ying Zheng's eyes were very bright!

Indeed... he even wanted Dai Xin to make him a revolver for him to carry at all times!

With that, what would he have to fear from Li Yuanba?

If Li Yuanba dared to intimidate and threaten him along with that rebellious son again, he would simply draw the gun; go on, Li Yuanba, try moving!

Every time Ying Zheng recalled this scene, he was overwhelmed with excitement!

But alas, Dai Xin said he could not make it!

He said he could not make it?

Damn it!

If he cannot make it, where did that revolver of Ying Su's come from?

Ying Zheng was furious!

However... he also understood that these people were Ying Su's men, and it was natural for them to side with that rebellious son!

And he needed to win them over, especially Dai Xin!

Even though Dai Xin had mocked him a few months ago, and for these past few months had not shown him the slightest bit of goodwill, Ying Zheng still had to win him over!

Once he won him over, what about Li Yuanba? Li Cunxiao?

Heh!

And that rebellious son, Ying Su!

Heh!

With hundreds of cannons, thousands of muskets, and thousands of repeating muskets pointed at your head, try refusing to submit!

And Li Yuanba, you who have threatened me time and again!

You who have intimidated me!

Every time Ying Zheng thought of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, the two of them, his head ached with rage!

He is the Emperor!

Yet he has been threatened by Li Yuanba time and again!
