Soul echo

Chapter 747 Past Events
"...how could this be?"

The young man couldn't bear the blow, his legs went limp, and he sat slumped on the chair, staring blankly at the ground with a dull expression.

It's not that Zhong Ye couldn't understand why the young man became so depressed - he insisted on delivering the deputy cabinet master's "last words", fighting wits and courage with the enemy along the way, and perhaps even experienced near-death situations during the process.

But in the end, someone suddenly told him that the information he brought was all false and meaningless, and he was hit too hard, and his belief collapsed all of a sudden.

"However, the deputy cabinet master may also be deceived."

Zhong Ye suddenly opened his mouth and told the young man about the "possible existence of a third-party force".

The young man's eyes slowly lit up, and he slowly raised his head.

"Yes... the deputy cabinet master may have been deceived, and everyone was deceived."

The youth revived and his spirits became high.

Seeing his appearance, Zhong Ye shook his head and sighed inwardly, and said, "Let me introduce myself, I don't know your name yet."

"Oh, oh." The young man nodded, stood up and bowed his hands to Zhong Ye, "Hello, Mr. Zhong, my surname is Ma, my name is Pei, and my name is Shuren. You can call me Shuren (Note)."

Zhong Ye had a strange expression on his face. He thought of a famous thinker and writer in history, and he had studied the works of that master when he was a child.

After clearing his throat, Zhong Ye clasped his fists in return, and then said, "Ma Pei, tell me first, how did you know that those organ people are the 'clone masters'?"

Ma Pei was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The deputy pavilion master told me that he told me to be wary of the organ people, they are the clone of the pavilion master - that's what the deputy pavilion master warned me back then."

Those organs don't have a heartbeat, don't show any emotions, and act in a straightforward manner, so it's not difficult to distinguish them from the crowd as long as they master the method.

"It's so..." Zhong Ye frowned slightly.

It's because the commander of Jin Yiwei's investigation went wrong. In fact, the owner of Qianji Pavilion has independent consciousness?Or was the Deputy Pavilion Master deceived from the very beginning, the 'Pavilion Master' he knew wasn't the huge mechanism creation hidden underground that they investigated?

However, they found the big machine because of the 'last words' that the deputy cabinet master asked Mapei to bring. If the deputy cabinet master didn't know the existence of the big machine, they would not be able to investigate the clues and find it all the way.

The situation became more and more confusing, and Zhong Ye could no longer figure out what was true and what was false.

In short, he wanted to tell the emperor about it.

The emperor has a lot of information in his hands. Maybe some clues can be extracted from that information?
…………

Flipping through the living notes of the former emperor, the emperor frowned silently.

This daily note did not bring him any help, because it looked no different from the previous generations of emperors.

But yes, how could such a secret matter as the establishment of Qianji Pavilion be recorded in the daily note?
Sighing, the emperor put down the daily bet.

At this time, an eunuch came over and whispered something to the emperor.

The emperor's eyes lit up, "Oh? Is it already here? Bring it here!"

The eunuch bowed his head and retreated, and after a while, he walked in with a few people.

thump!
"I have seen the Holy One!"

When those old people saw the emperor, they knelt down and put their heads on the ground.

Seeing this, the emperor frowned slightly, and immediately opened it again, and walked over to help him up, "Please get up quickly, you are old people beside the emperor, and you are already old, you don't need to kneel next time you see me."

The few old people who were lifted up by the emperor were terrified and wanted to refuse, but the emperor was young and powerful, and he was an innate talent, so he couldn't avoid it no matter what.

"Come on! Give me a seat!"

He called some eunuchs and asked them to bring the chairs over. After all the old people sat down, the emperor turned around and walked back to the chairs behind the desk to sit down.

After sitting down, the emperor did not speak immediately, but turned his eyes to look at the few old people sitting in front of the desk.

They were all old people who had been with the late emperor when he was the crown prince, and two of them had watched the late emperor grow up.

Because the matter of Qianji Pavilion involved the former emperor, the emperor ordered people to find the old man next to the former emperor after knowing that the 'master' of Qianji Pavilion did not have self-awareness and showed no signs of being corrupted by the abyss. I want to know what kind of person the late emperor was from them.

Being watched by the emperor, several old people showed some embarrassment.

The emperor also keenly noticed this, and said: "Several old men, I invite you into the palace this time to ask you a few questions."

"Your Majesty, you can mention it, we will know everything and say everything!" An old man answered eagerly, and the other old people nodded repeatedly.

The emperor sighed in his heart, and then said: "Several old people, you are all people who have served the father. I want to know what kind of person the father was at the beginning? What are your hobbies?"

Several old people looked at each other and looked at each other.

They thought the emperor wanted to inquire about something, but they didn't expect it to be related to the former emperor.

Several old people fell silent, silently recalling.

The emperor didn't urge him, because he knew that after people entered old age, their minds would become much duller, and many memories would also become blurred. These old people can still maintain a clear self-awareness, which can be regarded as very good.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty the First Emperor is a very kind person and treats everyone well." An old man answered first.

The others nodded in agreement, and an old woman said, "His Majesty the late emperor liked to tinker with mechanisms since he was a child. Sometimes he made some very interesting little things, and rewarded us servants."

"Wait! What did you say? Say it again?"

The emperor suddenly noticed something, "Father, he likes making organs?!"

"Yes, yes..." The old woman blinked her eyes, and replied shyly, "His Majesty the late emperor liked mechanism very much, and when you were young, His Majesty the late emperor made a few small toys for you, didn't you? ?"

After the old woman mentioned it, many memories immediately came to the emperor's mind.

He remembered that he did have many toys when he was young, among which the few he liked the most were a few gadgets given to him by his father.

There was one he remembered as a miniature of a... humanoid robot?
But why did he forget it?
"Suck……"

The emperor leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

There is no need to ask the next question, so the emperor ordered some old people to be taken down, treated them to a good meal, and gave them a few taels of gold.

He is 31 years old this year, and the gods of the Dan world discovered the earth five or sixty years ago, more than ten years earlier than Qin Tianjian observed the existence of the earth.

After observing the earth for several years, the gods chose to make secret contact with the earth.

The contact process went smoothly, and they even stopped the impending World War III on Earth.

His father was also born and raised during this period. Influenced by the earth's culture, it is not incomprehensible to like mechanism creations.

The emperor left the royal study, called a few people, got into the carriage, left the palace, and headed for the prince's mansion.

Now he has not decided on a prince, so the prince's mansion is still vacant.

The emperor's departure from the palace naturally attracted the attention of many people, but he didn't care.

With complicated emotions in mind, the emperor returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Just when others wondered whether he was planning to establish a prince, the emperor had already walked into the pavilion where he lived when he was a child, and found out his old toys.

He took those toys out of several big boxes with his own hands and placed them on the ground one by one.

After a while, the floor of the room was filled with his former toys.

Squatting on the ground, the emperor looked at those old gadgets, and seemed to recall some good memories, and couldn't help laughing.

Then, he reached out from the pile of toys and picked up a few small mechanisms with completely different styles from other toys, and gently stroked them with his fingers.

The emperor still remembered that these few gadgets were his favorite when he was a child, and the one he played with the most was the 'robot'.

At this time, the craftsman from the Ministry of Industry, led by a Jin Yiwei, ran over panting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The emperor took a deep breath and threw the robot in his hand to the craftsman of the Ministry of Industry.

"Tear it down!" The emperor's eyes regained his clarity, "I want to see how the structure of this thing is different from that of those organs!"

　The "tree" in "shuren" is a verb, meaning to cultivate, from "Guanzi·Quanxiu No. [-]", the original sentence is "A year's plan is better than a tree; a ten-year plan is like a tree; a lifelong plan is better than a tree." There is no such thing as tree people", in which "tree" is a verb, "shugu" means planting crops, "tree" means planting trees, and "shuren" is to cultivate talents. Mr. Lu Xun's original name "shuren" is also from Zhou Shuren. here
