Qin Xiang

Generally speaking, there are quite a few statues of celebrities, but the premise is that after these people die, the clay statues made by the people in his hometown to respect and commemorate them stand there.Because these people are too stunning to be stunning, people will naturally pray for the blessing of these statues as if they were blessed by gods.

What Gan Luo didn't expect was that he already had a statue in his lifetime, and it wasn't an ordinary clay statue, but an incomparably valuable bronze statue.Probably only a powerful lady like Mrs. Qing can have such financial resources.

Gan Luo's face turned red in an instant, and his words came out between his teeth: "Well, since I'm still alive, the bronze statue should be destroyed."

"That's not allowed." Mrs. Qing shook her index finger in front of Gan Luo's eyes, "Let's say destroying it, or removing that bronze statue, the people in the county will fight me desperately with stone picks."

Gan Luo sighed helplessly, forget it, just pretend that he had never heard of this matter at all.The way of hospitality in the prime minister's mansion is naturally to invite the guests to enjoy delicious dishes, most of which are specialties taught by Yu'er to the cooks in the mansion, which are very different.

Although the host and guest had a great time, Mrs. Qing still did not forget her original intention of visiting Gan Luo.She wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully, and said, "I don't know when I will be able to meet with you, but I have brought good things to meet with you."

Gan Luo was taken aback for a moment, recalling the encounter with Mrs. Qing back then.Mrs. Qing wanted to make her husband's business the strongest, and wanted to overwhelm those pretentious men as a woman, so she had to seek political affirmation.And the best candidate is the sole ruler of this country - Ying Zheng.

Thinking of Mrs. Qing's incomparable financial resources, Gan Luo was sure that brother would be very happy.

So, not long after sending Wei Liao in, Gan Luo brought someone into the palace again.Compared to Wei Liao and Ying Zheng who looked at each other and hated each other, Mrs. Qing and him hit it off.

This may be the female creature that Ying Zheng likes the most in this life.Ying Zheng couldn't let go of his wariness towards women because of his female spy work in his youth. He treated them with a cold-eyed attitude.Ever since he discovered his thoughts on Gan Luo, Ying Zheng stayed away from those female creatures without any burden, and he didn't have to force himself to get close to women in order to pass on the family line.

Especially after experiencing the Lai Ai rebellion, the mother's betrayal became the last straw that broke the camel's back.In his heart, no woman is qualified to be his wife, his queen.

However, Mrs. Qing is different. First of all, this woman is already old, and she never forgets her deceased husband, so she won't get dizzy because of some bullshit love.Secondly, Mrs. Qing is completely different from the women Ying Zheng has come into contact with before. She is a strong and open-minded head of the family, not a weak and paranoid woman.

For such a woman, Ying Zheng naturally respected him very much.Of course, as Wei Liao commented, the help Madam Qing can provide him is the main reason.

Mrs. Qing's huge financial resources can provide food and grass for Qin's expedition to the six countries. The cinnabar in her family can extract a large amount of liquid mercury, which Yingzheng plans to use in his imperial tomb.

Although Gan Luo was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Mrs. Qing's generosity.

"The little lady is in good health. It is a great pleasure for me to run around for the cinnabar mine. It is my honor to be able to participate in the great cause of the king. Who said that only men can do great things?" Mrs. Qing blinked. Blinking his eyes, he whispered to Gan Luo.

Gan Luo was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to compliment him: "Even Lu Junhou is not as courageous as Madam." At most, Lu Buwei's money pushed the proton Ying Zichu to the throne, but Madam Qing will become the helper of Ying Zheng's hegemony. one.

Before leaving, Mrs. Qing said that she would settle in Xianyang in the future, and hoped that Gan Luo would come to chat with her often.

When Mrs. Qing's figure was gone, Ying Zheng's face was still grim.

"Brother, who made you angry again?" Gan Luo asked innocently, there was no way, after so many years, he had already recognized the essence of brother's narrow-mindedness.

Ying Zheng, who showed his domineering side in front of outsiders, became weak at this time. He pressed Gan Luo's shoulder and said lazily: "I don't like the way Mrs. Qing looks at you."

"What look? She just treats me like a grandson."

"She looks at you like a vegetarian who suddenly put a piece of meat in front of her. In short, even if she is in Xianyang, you should rarely visit her. If you have that time, you should be in the palace It is right to drive with the king."

Gan Luo complained silently in his heart: "I think the last sentence is the key point..."

"Speaking of which, I want to take you to a place." Ying Zhengshen said mysteriously, no matter how Gan Luo asked, he refused to say it clearly.

After the two were ready, they took the carriage and traveled all the way to Mount Li.Looking from a distance, the general outline of Yingzheng Mausoleum can already be seen.Lishan Mountain has many peaks and lush forests. Its sunny side is rich in jade, and its shady side is rich in gold.The Weishui River surrounds Lishan Mountain like a silver dragon, which can be described as a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Looking across from the north bank of the Weihe River, Lishan Mountain seems to stand behind the mausoleum like a huge screen.

Construction of the Lishan Mausoleum had already begun when Ying Zheng had just ascended the throne.Next to Lishan Mountain, a reduced version of Xianyang City has been pruned, with a back-shaped structure, double city walls, and tall gates with three gates, following the emperor's etiquette system.

Gan Luo couldn't help admiring the huge number of burial tombs, burial pits, and sleeping hall complexes.

"Looking at your own mausoleum by yourself is really a strange experience." Ying Zheng looked at the prisoners who were busy repairing the mausoleum and sighed.

"Then why did you start building the mausoleum as soon as you ascended the throne?" This is what Gan Luo wondered the most. At that time, Yingzheng had no power at all, and the first thing he asked the officials to do was to start building his mausoleum immediately.Most of the past monarchs built mausoleums after their death, and occasionally they built them during their lifetime, but it would not be as early as Yingzheng.

"Ah." Ying Zheng looked up at the sky, his thoughts went back to the past, but Gan Luo could feel his fragility, "Because of fear."

"Fear?" Gan Luo repeated in disbelief. Ying Zheng, who was still a teenager at the time, didn't show it at all. He became the king of a country and he was the supreme ruler of Qin. Why should he be afraid?

"Yeah, it's probably because the father just took the throne for three years... and left too early, and the king's father also passed away just after he took the throne. At that time, I couldn't sleep at night, and even felt that I would follow in the footsteps of my father and the others. , died young due to some incurable emergency. I thought about it, and built the tomb first. In this way, even if I die suddenly, I don’t have to rush to build the tomb like my father. .”

Gan Luo slapped Ying Zheng on the back of the head suddenly.

"Ah Luo, you are getting more and more courageous." Ying Zheng said, holding the back of his head, but he didn't have much anger.Gan Luo is probably the only one who dares to do this in this world.

"I just want to pat you to wake you up, so that you don't think about it and cause problems for yourself." Gan Luo slapped twice again in disbelief.It's a pity that I missed the shot this time, and Ying Zheng grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.

"I haven't finished yet. When did you become so impatient? Sure enough, you are still worried about me." Ying Zheng's fragility at that moment disappeared, leaving only a full smile.

Gan Luo couldn't even find a reason to refute. What he was most afraid of was that Ying Zheng would make a fool of himself, and he would not be able to pull back.

Gan Luo said in embarrassment: "Anyway, don't think about it. The former king is the former king, and you are you. Why don't you think that King Zhaoxiang has been in power for 55 years. You have to follow him. Our Guigu school has unique characteristics. The method of health preservation, you practice with me, you will surely live a long life."

"I'm not from Ghost Valley, can I learn your untold secret?" Ying Zheng teased.

"..." Gan Luo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then struggled, "I'll teach you quietly, without letting my uncle know."

Ying Zheng was in a better mood. He wrapped his index finger around Gan Luo's braid and said with a smile, "Okay, don't tell my uncle."

Gan Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Luo, after that hundred years, are you willing to sleep here with me?" Ying Zheng seriously asked Gan Luo if he would like to be buried in his family's cemetery after his death. I can figure it out.

Gan Luo stared at the huge mausoleum and pondered for a long while, then suddenly realized, and formally responded to Ying Zheng's feelings for the first time: "Brother, I will always be with you. So, you must live a long, long life, don't It hurts me to die before me, I'm going to die before you."

Ying Zheng hurriedly covered Gan Luo's mouth, and said to himself: "Bah, bah, bah, kid's talk, no ghosts." He was really angry now, "Don't put that word on your lips! ,Ominous."

Gan Luo's eyes bent into crescents.

When he met the young man Yingzheng, at the beginning it was an emotional rivalry, and later they became brothers, and they had walked hand in hand for so long. He would worry about Yingzheng's safety, worry about his sadness, and run around for his great cause. ...Then, let's stay with him forever, so that he won't have to worry about Ying Zheng after he leaves.
