Chapter 121: To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation.
"It's amazing. I feel full of strength." After taking the peaches, Wang Jian's body became younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hmm? My stomach..." Wang Jian suddenly showed an ugly expression.
"Haha, old general, go to the toilet quickly." Ying Zheng laughed.
"Your Majesty, please make fun of me." Wang Jian's face turned red, and then he jumped away from the pool.
"This kid, I really didn't make a mistake back then." Bai Qi sighed as he looked at Wang Jian's back.
"However, Your Majesty, if you give me this peach, will that person have any objection? After all, it is given to you by someone else?" Bai Qi looked at the peaches in the box reluctantly again, then carefully closed the lid and said.
"Wu'an Jun, you haven't seen him, otherwise you wouldn't say such a thing." Ying Zheng said.
"Oh? Why?" Bai Qi asked.
"Su Zi is a man with a big heart. From the moment I met him, I was sure that he looked at me the same way he looked at other people. This requires an extremely broad mind and treating all beings equally to make people feel this way." Ying Zheng's face was full of admiration.
"It is rare. When a person has been in a high position for a long time, he will often be self-righteous, indifferent to everything, and regard himself as a god or a master. It is not wrong to have such a feeling, but you must know how to restrain yourself and treat everything you have with a normal heart. Power and strength often confuse a person and lead him astray, and then he will not be far from destruction." Bai Qi looked at Ying Zheng and said meaningfully.
"Ying Zheng will never disappoint Wu Anjun's expectations." Ying Zheng said hurriedly.
Bai Qi also nodded, feeling very relieved. He could be said to have watched Ying Zheng grow up. When Lu Buwei and others were making such a fuss before, he did not rush to show up, just to temper the young Ying Zheng at that time. Except when Ying Zheng encountered a life crisis, he never took action until Ying Zheng took power.
"Your Majesty, find a time, I want to meet that person." Bai Qi suddenly said.
"I will arrange it when I go back." Ying Zheng nodded.
"Why wait to see me? I am here." Suddenly a voice came.
The two were startled and turned around to see a person standing on the surface of the pond where they had been fishing before.
"Emperor." Ying Zheng showed a happy look on his face and shouted out. It was Su Yu who came.
He walked over on the water, as if walking on flat ground, and the water surface was calm.
"Wu'an Jun, this is the emperor, also known as Su Zi." Ying Zheng said hurriedly.
"Bai Qi has met Su Zi." Bai Qi bowed hurriedly.
Su Yu was also curiously looking at Bai Qi at this time. Bai Qi, the butcher, who killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers in a battle, looked like an ordinary old farmer.
"I sensed your presence the day I entered Xianyang, but I didn't expect it to be Bai Qi, the butcher." Su Yu said.
Su Yu didn't expect that the hidden trump card of the Qin Dynasty was like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty, a master eunuch in the palace, but he didn't expect it to be such a famous figure.
"Su Zi, please laugh. How could I hide my humble cultivation from you?" Bai Qi said modestly.
Su Yu smiled helplessly, and then said to Ying Zheng.
"I heard that Wang Jian was coming, so I came to the palace to see you. Later, I found your presence here, so I came here without invitation." Su Yu smiled.
"So that's it, does the emperor have something to ask me?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Let's talk about it after Wang Jian comes." Su Yu said.
"Su Zi, please come this way." At this time, Bai Qi pointed to a stone table not far away and said.
Then the two of them walked to the stone table and sat down. Ying Zheng stood by like a junior. Every time he came to see Bai Qi in these years, Ying Zheng put himself in a very low position. He had been deprived of his father's love since childhood, and he had already regarded Bai Qi as a relative in his heart.
At this time, Wang Jian hurried back. He looked younger and looked almost the same as Wang Ben before. Those who didn't know thought they were brothers.
Wang Jian was a little confused when he saw a stranger. When he saw Ying Zheng standing by and Wu'an Jun and the man sitting, he was even more surprised.
"Wang Jian, this is Su Zi." Ying Zheng said.
"Wang Jian greets Su Zi and thanks Su Zi for the peach." Wang Jian hurried forward and was about to salute.
"No need to do this, that's what you deserve. You fought against the six countries, saved the people from water and fire, and kept the people away from war. This is your achievement. There is nothing wrong with giving you the peaches." Su Yu said.
"Yes, thank you Su Zi." Bai Qi said.
"I came here for you. I believe you have agreed to lead the army in the Xiongnu matter, right?" Su Yu said.
"Yes, I will never return to the court unless I defeat the Xiongnu." Wang Jian quickly expressed his position.
"Don't worry, Ying Zheng, I want to ask you, have you ever heard of the saying that you must first stabilize the country before you can resist foreign aggression?" Su Yu said to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and then said.
"Do you mean those people in the anti-Qin alliance?"
"Yes, I came here to tell you that to defeat the Xiongnu, you must first resolve the contradictions within the Qin Dynasty, otherwise a disaster will be forced out. The tragedy not long ago is a warning bell." Su Yu said.
Ying Zheng's expression became serious when he heard this, and then he bowed to Su Yu.
"What Su Zi reminded me is that I originally planned to suppress the Xiongnu after defeating them. Now it seems that I may have to deal with these people first."
"Your Majesty, these remnants of the six countries are the root of the trouble left by the old minister. The old minister is guilty." Wang Jian knelt down and said.
When the six kingdoms were defeated, Wang Jian did not kill them all, which led to the frequent disturbances of the nobles of the six kingdoms.
"What's wrong with the old general? This is a different time. At that time, we didn't kill them in order to stabilize people's hearts, but these people are stubborn and treat the laws of the Qin Dynasty as nothing. I can't tolerate it anymore." Ying Zheng said.
"Very good, as long as you have this intention, now, Confucianism has surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and the Taoist Tianzong, it seems that Xiaomeng is also on the side of the Qin Dynasty."
"It's a pity that Gao Jianli made a mistake, but I have also sent Wuming to go there, so it shouldn't be a big problem. The most important thing now is these people hiding in Xianyang. To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, Gai Nie is in Xianyang." Su Yu said.
Hearing the word Gai Nie, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a complicated expression. Back then, he trusted Gai Nie 100%, but he didn't expect that he would betray himself and the Qin Dynasty in the end.
"Gai Nie? Alas..." Ying Zheng sighed.
"He is just a warrior. If you hadn't ordered Zhang Han to capture him alive, I would have almost lost his life last time. Humph." Bai Qi said angrily.
Ying Zheng was embarrassed when he heard this. He did capture Gai Nie first and wanted to ask him why he betrayed him. But he didn't expect that the entire Shadow Secret Guard was killed by Gai Nie. Ying Zheng felt guilty for a long time.
"Yes, Wu Anjun is right. It's all my fault." Ying Zheng said hurriedly.
"As a king, you shouldn't ask why everything happens. You should start from the actual situation. Whatever happens, you should first base it on the interests of the country. If it damages the interests of the country and the people, then anyone and anything is guilty." Su Yu said lightly.
"Yes, Ying Zheng, remember it." Ying Zheng bowed his hands quickly.
"As for the anti-Qin alliance, I will let Jiang Ni bring people to help you. I won't do anything about it." Su Yu said.
"Also, Donghuang Taiyi will no longer serve as the leader of Yinyang Family, and so will Yueshen. They asked me to give this to you." Su Yu finished speaking and threw a black token to Ying Zheng.
"Yinyang Token." The three were shocked.
Ying Zheng took the token, stroked the pattern on it, and showed an unbelievable expression on his face.
"Emperor, this? Why did Donghuang..." Ying Zheng asked excitedly.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Qi.
"Since the Emperor gave this thing to you, the Yinyang Family will completely obey the orders of the royal family in the future, so don't ask about other things." Bai Qi gave Ying Zheng a look and said.
"Uh... Yes, thank you Emperor." Ying Zheng also reacted and said hurriedly.
"Haha, okay, in that case, I'll leave first." Su Yu laughed. Then he turned around and disappeared.
"Hiss... so powerful, coming and going without a trace, I can't detect it at all." Bai Qi stood up and sighed.
"Su Zi is so free and easy, often appearing and disappearing." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly. Even in his bedroom, the other party came whenever he wanted.
"Alas, Yin-Yang Family, I have spent a lot of time trying to make them completely submit to the Qin Dynasty, but in the end Donghuang Taiyi only agreed to cooperate. I didn't expect that now..." Ying Zheng sighed as he looked at the sign in his hand.
"This is because of strength. Although I don't know what happened, it is definitely related to Su Zi. As for the matter of Donghuang and Yueshen, don't ask about it in the future." Bai Qi said.
"Let's go, I should loosen up my old bones." Bai Qi twisted his arm and said.
Ying Zheng, who didn't react for a while, was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"Where to go?"
"Huh, where else can I go? Of course it's the Yin-Yang Family. You don't think that if you have this thing, people will definitely listen to you." After Bai Qi finished speaking, he took out a ghost mask from his arms and put it on.
Bai Qi was going to establish the prestige for Ying Zheng, otherwise how could he convince the public.
"It's still Wu'an Jun who is thoughtful." Ying Zheng suddenly realized.
Then the three of them left the courtyard together, went out to call Wang Ben and others and headed straight for the Yin-Yang family's residence.
"You still have some brains." In the air, Su Yu, who was hiding his figure, looked at the few people who left and nodded with satisfaction.
Bai Yujing, Qiao Feng and others had entered the Seven Treasures Pagoda for several days. Early in the morning of this day, Su Yu communicated with the little dragon man and asked him to let everyone out.
"Swish..." One after another, figures suddenly appeared outside the tower. Everyone was still practicing.
"Huh?" Ah Qing was the first to react. Then he turned his head and looked at Su Yu.
"Wow..." The little girl actually burst into tears.
"Greetings to the Emperor." Qiao Feng and others were also very excited.
"Wuwu... Brother Emperor, wuwu... I miss you so much, I don't want to go in again." Ah Qing hugged Su Yu tightly and cried.
