Chapter 490 Knowledge is power
Monk Jueming naturally could not understand what King Qin said.
But as a time traveler, Ning Yi easily understood what he meant.
The teacher's song "Qinyuanchun·Snow" not only has a heroic intention, but also mentions Qin Emperor Hanwu, Tang Zong and Song Zu in the second half, and even the unborn generation of genius Genghis Khan.
Qin Emperor, Han Wu, and even Tang Zong were actually fine.
But Song Zu is not a figure in this world, let alone Genghis Khan who has not yet been born.
From this perspective, the second half of this poem is indeed somewhat out of place.
But Ning Yi knew that the untimely thing King Qin said actually had another meaning.
After all, this poem was written by a teacher. This guy took out the teacher's poem and stared at him and said it was "inappropriate". This was a metaphor for the way that later generations would be inappropriate now!
...He wants to be the emperor!
And he is the emperor of a traditional feudal dynasty!
Such an idea suddenly came to Ning Yi's mind.
After thinking about this, King Qin's motive for killing him was not so strange.
No, to say that he was a killer would be to look down on King Qin, or even look down on Ning Yi himself.
In Ning Yi's view, the interception on the Yangtze River was at most a test, warning or showdown by King Qin.
Ning Yi didn't believe that King Qin really had the intention to kill him. Otherwise, the people who intercepted and killed him on the river last time were not the rabble from Liangshanbo, but elite navy soldiers with cast-iron cannons.
Thinking of this, Ning Yi sighed in his heart, with a look of regret on his face.
"Really... That's such a pity. Such heroic words can't capture the whole picture. It's really a pity in life!"
Monk Jueming nodded when he heard this, and seemed to feel the same way.
King Qin stared at Ning Yi closely, and suddenly said with a smile: "Actually... it's not impossible."
"oh?"
Monk Jueming perked up and looked at King Qin expectantly.
Ning Yi was also very interested, pretending to be all ears.
The King of Qin smiled and said: "I have always loved Mr. Ning's poems. If Mr. Ning really wants to have a glimpse of the whole poem, why don't you follow me back home? I would like to make an exception for Mr. Ning and get the elder's calligraphy and compare it with the calligraphy of the elder." Let’s taste it together, sir!”
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Monk Jueming finally realized that something was wrong.
Although he is not aware of the tacit slang among travelers, he is still very sensitive to the politics and purpose of social interaction.
As soon as King Qin said these words, Monk Jueming immediately spied on the other party's ultimate goal——
Although it may not be correct, looking at this meaning, King Qin is planning to poach the Prime Minister's house!
I just don’t know where King Qin learned about Ning Yi’s name, and where he learned about his abilities...
Monk Jueming frowned slightly, then smiled: "Your Majesty the King of Qin, the poor monk has always liked poetry. The poem "Qin Yuan Chun" has a heroic intention. It is the only heroic poem that the poor monk has seen in his life. The poor monk is very happy to see the hunting heart. If there is a fate, it will be true. I don’t want to miss it, I don’t know…”
Monk Jueming did not finish his request, but left some room.
Sure enough, King Qin showed a troubled look on his face. After a moment of pondering, he smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Wang, it's not because I don't want to, but it's actually because my elder... hated Buddhism and Taoism the most during his lifetime. You... "
"Amitabha, that's it."
Seeing that King Qin had reached this point, Monk Jueming had no choice but to clasp his hands regretfully and say no more.
Ning Yi had been watching silently from the side. When he saw King Qin blocking Monk Jueming's request with his elders' preferences, he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin condescended to invite me. Naturally, Ning has no reason to refuse... Your Highness, please go first!" "
King Qin looked delighted and laughed loudly: "No, no, no, sir, please go first!"
In front of Monk Jueming and many servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, King Qin made a full gesture.
Ning Yi had no room to refuse, so he could only leave the Prime Minister's Mansion with him.
Arriving outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning Yi couldn't help but be slightly speechless as he looked at the gorgeous cast-iron carriage and the hundreds of palace guards beside the carriage.
Before going to Beijing, he had heard that the current emperor loved King Qin, his second son, very much. Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case.
"Mr. Ning, please!"
King Qin smiled and waved to Ning Yi to board the carriage.
Ning Yi glanced at the three extremely majestic armored guards behind King Qin, suddenly smiled and climbed onto the carriage.
Soon, the huge motorcade started to move. King Qin sat opposite Ning Yi, raised his hand to open the curtain, and motioned the accompanying guards to stay away, and then looked at Ning Yi with a smile.
"Ning Yi, we finally meet."
"Yes, we finally met..."
Ning Yi expressed the same emotion as King Qin, and then asked with a smile: "Did you arrange the interception outside Jiangning City?"
King Qin was not surprised when he heard Ning Yi's straightforward words, but just looked at Ning Yi thoughtfully.
"It seems that Nan Sanxiong was indeed a heavenly being like you and me that day..."
"...Celestial Being?"
Ning Yi laughed dumbly.
King Qin was not annoyed. He glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, should I say those three words directly?"
Ning Yi smiled and said: "Why not?"
King Qin shook his head: "It's better to do as the locals do. I need this identity to maintain the intelligence and mystery I was born with."
Ning Yi was noncommittal and immediately asked: "Then how did His Highness know that the three heroes of Tiannan are also...celestial beings?"
"Ning Yi, stop pretending!" King Qin laughed, "You killed the six-door chief arrester Chen Yayuan. Only Wenren Fujian knew about this. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have guessed about me, but But you guessed that it was me who told the news to the Chen family, and you were not surprised by it, which means that the three heroes of Tiannan are also time travelers who have foresight of the future like me..."
"Well, so you should already know your future destiny, right?"
Ning Yi nodded and showed approval: "Indeed...so Jiang Ning's interception was indeed done by you?"
King Qin nodded calmly, and then shook his head: "The news that you killed Chen Yayuan was indeed revealed to the Chen family by me, but the subsequent series of actions were all made by the Chen family and had nothing to do with me. "
Ning Yi shook his head and said, "Isn't that how you calculate it?"
King Qin glanced at the expression on Ning Yi's face and suddenly smiled: "I know that you have a grudge against this, but since you have learned about the future from the Three Heroes of Tiannan, it should also be clear that you will kill the king and rebel in the future, right? "
"This king is the second son of my father, the king of Qin in the Wu Dynasty. His status is so prominent that it can be said that he is inferior to two people and superior to ten thousand people."
"It is my position as a royal family to plan for you in advance, and it has nothing to do with my own likes and dislikes."
"What's more, I also know that you have Lu Hongti, the Iron Sword of Rivers and Mountains, and the Three Heroes of Tiannan, who are known as 'Three men can defeat a thousand armies'. The Chen family will never kill you..."
Ning Yi smiled and said: "So this is a test, or a warning?"
King Qin nodded calmly: "Absolutely... We are all adults, so don't talk nonsense!"
"I do intend to test you. There are two main reasons. One is the regicide world line that is impossible to come, and the other is your own ability and the fate of the so-called destiny protagonist!"
"If you die because of the Chen family, then I will have no regrets."
"But if you can really turn disaster into good fortune and show the talents and methods of Ning Rentu in my impression, then I am willing to grant you the position of King of Qin and form an alliance with you forever to rule the world together! "
As he spoke, King Qin's expression became more and more serious, and his whole body became heroic and stern.
If it were other indigenous literati, faced with King Qin's attitude, they might have immediately bowed their heads and worshiped him.
But Ning Yi is a time traveler after all. He was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said: "We are all materialists, so let's forget about such a false oath. Besides, Ning doesn't know His Highness well enough..."
King Qin smiled and said: "You don't understand me, but I understand you."
"I know that as long as I am wise enough, you will be a minister who can take care of me."
"Ning Yi, think about it!"
"Besides me, who else in the world can completely trust you and understand you?"
"Is it my father, the prince, or the right minister Qin Siyuan?"
King Qin shook his head, with a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Ning Yi, look at Bianliang City outside. It's just a pile of broken bricks and tiles. That's why those people call it a prosperous and prosperous age... Hey, what a frog in the well. ridiculous!"
"In the whole world, only you and I know, or have seen, what a truly prosperous age is!"
King Qin spoke boldly, and Ning Yi knew that what he said was the truth.
But he also understood that all this was based on King Qin becoming the emperor and assuming absolute power.
This guy is ambitious, decisive and capable, but he also has an extremely strong desire for power.
Ning Yi considered his words and said softly: "Say one thousand, say ten thousand... Do you want me to help you seek power and usurp the throne?"
King Qin laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "No, I will not usurp the throne. I will naturally take over this huge empire, and then make you the prime minister. You and I will work together to revive the Wu Dynasty and make all nations rule. In this way, Isn’t it wonderful!”
Ning Yi heard the extreme confidence in his words, so he asked curiously: "What did you do to the prince?"
King Qin glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. At the beginning of last year, my king's caravan from the Western Regions returned to Beijing and presented a set of exquisite silver tea sets. I really like it."
"It just so happens that the prince comes to my palace as a guest."
"The prince has always been jealous of my favor. He has liked to rob my beloved things since he was a child. When he saw that the king liked this tea set, he snatched it away from me as the prince. He was so proud of it that he loved his house..."
"According to what I heard, the tea set is still placed in his study to this day, and he makes tea all the time and takes pleasure in it."
After Ning Yi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "You will not survive if you do your own evil... If Ning guessed correctly, the tea set should not be made of silver... but lead!"
