EBE Chapter 263 Zhuge Meets Ying Zheng
Chapter 263 Zhuge Meets Ying Zheng
After thinking about Qin Shi Huang's standardization of writing and cart axles, Tang Yu formed a belief in his heart.
He was determined to help Ying Zheng achieve the unification of the world and the realm.
I'm not concerned about anything else, just the fact that this book uses the same language and the same gauge for the vehicles.
The whole world uses the same script and speaks the same language; in this respect, Ying Zheng has already surpassed countless other emperors.
After all, it was because Ying Zheng was the first to propose this theory and concept that later emperors were able to put it into practice and develop it into reality.
Without Qin Shi Huang, China's future might have been like that of Europe.
The fragmentation and fighting among more than a dozen small countries was a nightmare.
The reason why Ying Zheng was able to be called the First Emperor was because he standardized writing and cart axles, an achievement that was truly immense.
This meant that as long as you continued Ying Zheng's ideas, or as long as you became emperor, you would be able to succeed.
Then you are walking the path that Ying Zheng once set.
It can be said that Ying Zheng was a pioneer.
No matter how high you climb, you are always limited by Ying Zheng on this path.
After all, you have never forged a path that is broader than the one and the ideals of Ying Zheng.
This is why Li Erfeng is widely recognized as the strongest carbon-based biological governor of Asia in the 7th century.
However, in historical rankings, he can only ever be compared to Qin Shi Huang, and can never be completely crushed.
Because he was included in it too!
Even without Qin Shi Huang's ideas and concepts, Li Erfeng might have been just as outstanding.
However, he could never be the governor of Asia, nor could he be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
And because the Tang Dynasty simply could not have existed!
Thinking about the many units of measurement that came with it in later generations, such as feet, meters, and centimeters.
And all sorts of jin, kilograms, and pounds!
Tang Yu's belief in unifying the world and standardizing writing and cart tracks deepened.
All of this was inseparable from the prosperity and strength of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, everything Tang Yu did was for his own purpose; it was all just preliminary preparation for this goal.
"Your Majesty, in that case, I'm afraid I have some personal matters to attend to recently. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request."
Looking at Ying Zheng before him, Tang Yu bid him farewell with a smile.
After all, he had worked so hard for so long, and finally Zhuge Liang arrived.
As a result, Zhuge Liang was a slave before he came, and he was still a slave after he came. So, didn't Prime Minister Zhuge come for nothing?
With this in mind, Tang Yu immediately prepared to tour the magnificent landscape of the Qin Kingdom.
Faced with Tang Yu's request, Ying Zheng wanted to stop him, but found himself speechless.
It seems that Tang Yu's role has been perfectly replaced by Prime Minister Zhuge.
At this moment, he nodded at Tang Yu.
“Mr. Tang, of course that’s possible. After all, I, Ying Zheng, have never restricted your personal freedom, have I?”
"But Mr. Tang, if you want to go to other places, I'm afraid there are some things you need to discuss with Mr. Zhuge."
"At the same time, there happens to be a place that is extremely suitable for Mr. Tang to visit, so I recommend it to him."
Seeing that Ying Zheng did not refuse him, Tang Yu always felt that something was amiss.
Wait a minute, why would Brother Zheng be so kind as to let me run away?
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, Tang Yu finally nodded.
When he and Ying Zheng arrived at his separate palace, they saw Zhuge Liang sitting at his desk again, reading various memorials from all over the country.
Originally, a large portion of these memorials belonged to Ying Zheng, but because of Tang Yu's arrival, Ying Zheng gave all the memorials to Tang Yu.
Now, with Zhuge Liang's arrival, these things naturally ended up in his hands.
Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and first glanced at Tang Yu, then noticed Ying Zheng beside him.
Putting aside his height of 1.96 meters, even the sword beside him was a head taller than Cao Aman.
And that magnificent black dragon robe, along with his extraordinary demeanor.
Anyone who isn't blind can tell at a glance that this person is Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, the ruler of the Qin state.
"Zhuge Liang pays his respects to the Grand Preceptor and to His Majesty."
Zhuge Liang rose and bowed.
This time, however, he put Tang Yu first.
However, Ying Zheng, who knew Zhuge Liang's background, did not pay any attention to it.
After all, Tang Yu can be considered Zhuge Liang's second father.
If Tang Yu didn't exist, then Zhuge Liang would never have been able to exist in this time and space.
No matter how much Zhuge Liang respected Tang Yu, it was not wrong.
……
The three sat cross-legged together, and Ying Zheng took out a jar of wine and poured it for them.
"Master Zhuge, this is the wine of my Qin Dynasty. I wonder if it differs from the wine of the dynasty in which you lived in later generations?"
Zhuge Liang smiled as he watched Ying Zheng immediately pour wine down his throat.
He took a slow, deliberate sip before speaking.
"The wine of the Qin state, compared to that of the Han dynasty, did not have the mature winemaking system of the Han dynasty."
"But at the same time, it has countless directions and possibilities for development."
"Your Majesty, don't you agree?"
Tang Yu looked at Ying Zheng and Zhuge Liang, who were speaking in cryptic terms, and suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
He then began to tell Zhuge Liang about his idea of running away.
Zhuge Liang frowned upon hearing this, but his gaze toward Tang Yu was filled with helplessness.
The last person who seemed to make such a demand of himself and say such things was named Liu Shan.
“Your Excellency, although I am temporarily serving as the Imperial Preceptor, this position cannot be left vacant for even a day.”
"If the Grand Preceptor really leaves Xianyang City, what should be done if an emergency occurs?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with a horrified expression, while pointing to Ying Zheng beside him.
"That's easy. The emperor is right here. Why are you asking me?"
Seeing Tang Yu's bewildered expression, Zhuge Liang realized that he had asked a somewhat foolish question.
He then turned his gaze to Ying Zheng, who was standing before him.
He was tall and imposing, with an air of authority about him.
And his overwhelming aura far surpassed that of Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of Han!
He truly lived up to his reputation as the former First Emperor.
While Zhuge Liang was sizing up Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was also sizing up Zhuge Liang.
Then, under Zhuge Liang's horrified gaze, Ying Zheng slowly spoke.
"I have had the privilege of hearing about how Mr. Zhuge devoted himself to the cause of the Han Dynasty until his death, and I truly admire him greatly."
The two then started chatting furtively, making Tang Yu feel a little awkward standing to the side.
how??
Am I the extra one?
