Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Ying Zheng was very beautiful and happy at this time.

Then wait for the auspicious time to come, and let Taishan Gong Kong Jie invite the gods.

Everyone is drinking, eating meat, and drinking celebration wine.

Li Jue also ate at the bottom, and now that it was close to Shen Shi, he also felt tired after finishing his work.

Although he wanted to leave very much and didn't want to get involved in the affairs here, he had already sensed the existence of a person, so he had to stay.

He sensed Gai Nie's presence.

In the past few days when the great celestial masters were here, Gai Nie surprisingly did not harass the few great celestial masters, instead he didn't stay at home for a day.

Go out directly, do high-profile things outside, punish rape and eliminate evil.

Sifang Street and even inside and outside Xianyang have rumors about Gai Nie, but his private dealing with rogues and rangers also made Xianyang officials hate him to the bone.

Nei Shi Zhao Teng has always wanted to arrest him, but failed in the end.

I even found Li Jue and wanted to ask him about Gai Nie, but I heard that Gai Nie hadn't come home for a few days, so I gave up.

These rangers make their homes all over the world, maybe they get tired of living here, so they just leave.

At that time, Li Jue felt that Ge Nie might have been squeezed dry by him, and planned to go out to punish rape and eliminate evil, rob the rich and help the poor.

But now it is sensed that Gai Nie is in the palace, and he seems to be waiting for an opportunity.

He knew why Ge Nie was moving strangely these days, and it was very likely that he didn't want to hurt him by walking like this.

At the same time, Gai Nie is doing high-profile things outside, in order not to make people suspect that he is acting today.

Li Jue could even guess Gai Nie's purpose for coming here, most likely he planned to rescue Kong Jie when he failed to invite the immortal.

He sighed in his heart, Gai Nie was a man with good intentions for Confucianism and Kong Jie.

However, Kong Jie and the entire Confucianism are all officials, especially Kong Jie has no self-knowledge.

He didn't have any communication with the sky at all, so he thought he could invite the gods.

Even at this moment, her face was flushed and full of confidence.

Li Jue wanted to ask him where did he get his confidence.

as expected.

Kong Jie led the Confucian scholars, and danced to the Great God on the invitation to Xiantai. Many people in the audience were eating and drinking. When they looked at the invitation to Xiantai, their faces were full of piety.

Li Jue shook his head, feeling that Kong Jie was hopelessly hopeless.

He didn't go to find Gai Nie, let alone stop him, because that would reveal his identity.

at the same time.

Nor is it necessary.

Ge Nie wants to do something, if he wants to stop him, he can only kill him, otherwise he cannot change his will.

Li Jue planned to let Kong Jie, Gai Nie and others suffer a lot before talking about other things. Anyway, this invitation to immortals is bound to fail.

At that time, Confucianism will definitely experience massacres, and those who can survive will concentrate on academic research, which is also a good thing for Confucianism.

It's just that the life and death of Kong Jie and Gai Nie are hard to deduce.

Although Gai Nie is very powerful, probably the strongest of all present, but two fists are no match for four hands.

There are countless masters in Daqin, and the guards are even more powerful. The momentum of the combination can make the masters hate.

Li Jue ate and drank, but the civil and military officials around him all abandoned him like a shoe.

Everyone thought he was ominous and didn't want to get close to him.

Some people even want him to leave quickly, so as not to affect his appetite here.

Li Jue smiled, and didn't take it seriously, but moved the seat farther away, so it's good to eat alone, no one will grab it.

He actually knew that these people were all looking for advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and he also knew that Zhao Gao and Yan Le were dissatisfied with him, slandering him behind the scenes and preaching that he was unknown, and accidents would happen if he was contaminated.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't be avoiding him like the plague this time, but it was just right and no one disturbed him.

Moreover, these courtiers are all inferior, not worth mentioning.

There are also some aristocrats from the Six Kingdoms, they are after the Baiguan, and they are also after Li Jue.

But they also hated Li Jue deeply. Apart from feeling that Li Jue was unknown, they also resented Li Jue for beheading King Yan and King Qi.

Li Jue hated the remnants of these two countries the most.

The other nobles were all sad, they didn't dare to do anything to Ying Zheng, but they pointed at Li Jue.

Li Jue glanced at them, and all he got was scorn, contempt, and indifference.

He smiled and didn't care.

at this moment.

Fusu came to his side, eyes full of excitement, said: "Director Li, come and drink."

Li Jue said: "My lord, everyone avoids me like a snake and a scorpion, why do you dare to approach me?"

Fusu looked left and right, and sure enough, from the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty to the nobles of the six countries, everyone avoided it.

Even the eunuchs and maidservants who were serving at the side distanced themselves.

That is to say, when he saw Fusu coming, he came forward.

In the face of shoeshine and flattery, any ominousness is not worth mentioning.

Fu Su smiled and said, "They are ignorant, I don't care."

Li Jue believed it, otherwise Fusu would not have had too much contact with him, the executioner.

Fusu was very excited and kept talking about inviting immortals, presumably he was also very concerned about this matter.

After all, he studied Confucianism, and now that the Confucian giant is dancing on stage, he naturally worships and believes in it.

Seeing that Fusu was so close to Li Jue, the officials and the nobles of the six countries were all envious and jealous in their hearts.

Some people wanted to get closer, and took this opportunity to say a few words to Fusu and flatter them, but they were all forced back by Li Jue's mocking gaze.

They could only whisper behind their backs, saying that Li Jue was an ominous executioner, and that next year today would be his death day.

but.

They didn't dare to say these words in detail in front of Li Jue. Even when Li Jue looked over, they still greeted him with smiles for Fusu's sake.

For these people, Li Jue just shook his head.

Not even a smile.

Fusu continued to talk about it, but Li Jue said seriously: "My lord, if you can't invite the immortal today, will you still believe in Confucius?"

Fusu froze for a moment.

He didn't seem to expect that Li Jue would say this.

Then he said with a smile: "Director Li, what are you talking about? I heard that you have three teachers who are all masters of the world, and they are also people who seek immortals. I firmly believe in this. Why do you still doubt it?"

Li Jue said: "I believe there are immortals in the world, but I don't think Confucius can invite immortals here."

Fu Su frowned and said, "Why is that? Don't you think Mr. Taishan is not sincere enough?"

Li Jue shook his head and said, "I don't think he's sincere enough, but I think if the gods don't want to see us, how could they appear because of this?"

"If the god wants to see us, he can show up at will."

Fusu was silent for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Li Jue suddenly smiled.

He laughed and said: "Just kidding, I am an ordinary executioner, how can I understand these things, I am just talking nonsense, Lord Taishan will definitely be able to invite immortals here."

But when he said this, Fusu became serious instead, saying: "Director Li, what you said is also reasonable. There are immortals in the world, but they may not come because of this invitation."

"Immortals have mercy, you killed Qi Wangjian today, and you are still a cultivator of immortals. Immortals may not appear."

Li Jue shook his head and smiled wryly, he didn't expect Fusu to find such a strong excuse.

But it doesn't matter anymore, he said seriously: "My lord, if the gods don't show up because of this matter, and your father wants to question Lord Taishan, what should you do?"

Fusu blurted out, "Definitely state the pros and cons, explain the reasons, and ask Father to let Lord Taishan go."

However, Li Jue shook his head and said, "If that's the case, not only Tai Shangong will not be spared, even you will be angered."

Fu Su doubted: "No, father is not an unreasonable person, and he also needs Taishan Gong."

Li Jue said: "If you don't invite the gods, the king still needs Taishan Gong? Moreover, the king has been waiting for this for a long time. All civil and military officials, as well as the nobles of the six countries are here. If you don't invite the gods, the crime of Taishan Duke is worse than mine. Sudden death at night is even more serious!"

This statement is true.

When Fusu heard this, he was indeed in a cold sweat.

Surprised: "Then I will immediately stop this ceremony of inviting immortals? It's just, just..."

He blushed with anxiety, not knowing what to do.

Li Jue said: "It's too late, the only thing you can do when the time comes is to ignore it."

Fu Su said: "But, I can't do it."

Li Jue sighed, if Fusu could really ignore him, it might not be Fusu anymore.

However, at best, Fusu would be punished, put in confinement, or sent to the frontier, so he would not be abolished.

He just didn't want Fusu to be considered cowardly by Yingzheng because of this, and it would be wrong to go against Yingzheng.

at this moment.

Li Jue said quietly: "The auspicious time has come."

Fusu's body trembled, and he really heard the eunuch shout loudly, "The auspicious time has come, please come down."

Ying Zhengdu walked down the high platform himself, stood under the Xiantai platform, and watched Kong Jie dance seriously.

As for the others, including Fusu, they all knelt on the ground, and the banquet was withdrawn.

Li Jue didn't know how long this farce would last. He secretly hid a leg of lamb in his sleeve, and when he was prostrate on the ground, he secretly ate a bite.

Fusu has already returned to the back of Yingzheng, kneeling with the other princes, but he is a little anxious in his heart.

It's fine if Li Jue doesn't say anything, but he just told him that it's not so easy to invite gods, and he also felt that this time might end in a farce.

He couldn't even imagine how his father would be furious.

Then.

The auspicious time has passed, and the gods have not come.

Even, apart from the darkening of the sky and the approaching night, the weather has not changed in any way.

Not even a gust of wind.

A mountain is still a mountain, water is still water, the court is still the court, and people are still the people.

Everyone looked up, puzzled.

Ying Zheng's face gradually became expressionless.

Taishan Gong Kong Jie's face gradually became serious, he was still dancing the Great God, and he was still singing Confucian classics.

but.

The auspicious time has passed, and there is still no change.

Kong Jie was even tired from dancing, so he stopped and knelt on the ground, begging God for countless times in his heart.

"Old Ancestor of Heaven, please show up the gods quickly!"

"If you don't come, Confucianism will be over!"
