Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

"Protect His Majesty!"

A hoarse roar came from the altar, and the altar beside the Wei River suddenly became noisy and irritable.

Fusu was even more panicked. He was almost trained as a prince since he was a child. Although his martial arts could not compare with those people in the martial arts world, he was not weak.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was in danger, he resisted the feeling of dizziness and wanted to rush up to protect his father.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the altar. He looked calm, as if nothing had happened. He still slowly picked up the jade pendant from the altar, chanted the words of prayer to God, and threw the jade pendant into the water.

The unconsciousness of the officials and guards, as well as the noisy and chaotic scene, seemed to have no effect on him. His calm and composed mind shocked people.

It's not that Ying Zheng really has such a strong heart. When he was assassinated by Jing Ke, he was also panicked and shouted for help.

The reason why he can be so calm now is that in addition to having experienced too much in his life, seen too many major events, and faced life and death, the main reason is that Ying Zheng knows that nothing will happen to him.

A few hundred meters away from the altar, a large army is already rushing here.

The only ones who drank the sacrificial water just now were the officials and guards near the altar. The guards farther away did not drink it.

In the Wei River under the altar, bulging bubbles suddenly appeared. Ying Zheng, who was about to throw down the fourth jade pendant, still had no expression on his face, just lowered his head and looked at the bulging water waves.

"Hua————"

With a bang, several men in black suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water, holding daggers and killing Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng still ignored them, because when these assassins were still a few meters away from him, more guards wearing masks and soft armor appeared beside Ying Zheng.

Zhang Han and the Shadow Guards were always protecting Ying Zheng's safety, which was why Ying Zheng was so calm.

Facing the assassins who attacked, Zhang Han led the Shadow Guards to quickly intercept them, and the sound of metal clashing came from around the altar.

Ying Zheng did not watch the fight between the Shadow Guards and the assassins. After throwing the fourth jade pendant into the Wei River, he picked up the last jade pendant, put his hands together again, and chanted:

"Heaven and Earth, bless my Great Qin〃々!"

Until the last jade pendant was thrown into the river, Ying Zheng let out a long sigh.

Sacrifice is a major national event. How can it be interrupted because of these trivial matters? It is an unlucky symbol in the eyes of others.

Especially in this period when the remnants of various countries are ready to make a move, we can't give them any excuse.

So he must complete the sacrifice.

After doing all this, Ying Zheng looked at the Shadow Secret Guards and the assassins.

These assassins are not weak in martial arts, and they have undergone special training.

But even so, these assassins can't be the opponents of the Shadow Secret Guards, and the ShadowThere were many secret guards, and after a fierce fight, these killers were executed by the Shadow Secret Guards.

"I am late to save you, I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

After dealing with these killers, Zhang Han knelt in front of Ying Zheng and apologized.

Ying Zheng, who was heavily protected by the Shadow Secret Guards, would not blame Zhang Han for these things. He just looked at the corpses and bloodstains and said lightly: "This is an important place for worshiping the gods, how can it be polluted by bloodstains."

"Clean up these bloodstains and corpses."

"Yes!"

Zhang Han responded, waved his hand, and ordered several Shadow Secret Guards to move the corpses away and start cleaning up the bloodstains.

After that, it is estimated that these corpses will be autopsied to see if the killer's origin can be found.

"Father!"

Fusu staggered up the steps, feeling dizzy. He was relieved to see that nothing happened to Ying Zheng.

But before Fusu could get close to Ying Zheng, the shadow guards stopped him and stared at him vigilantly.

The shadow guards were the shadow guards of the First Emperor, and they would only protect the emperor.

Even Fusu, the eldest son, was within their vigilance.

Ying Zheng ignored Fusu and asked Zhang Han, "Who is responsible for the guard work of this ceremony?"

Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, it's Prince Fusu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fusu, who was dizzy, felt that his mind was cleared immediately and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

This time, the father gave all the work of the ceremony to him. It can be said that except for the last sacrifice, the First Emperor did not ask about other things.

But he had completely messed things up, not only causing the civil and military officials to be "poisoned", but also causing the assassination of the First Emperor.

Fortunately, he was the eldest son. If it was someone else who made these mistakes, it would be enough to kill the whole family.

Ying Zheng did not say anything, but just nodded to indicate that he understood.

The nearby army had already come and surrounded the civil and military officials in the middle, especially beside Ying Wei, the King of Yong, there was a lieutenant who led the soldiers to protect him nervously and looked around.

Ying Zheng walked down from the altar. He saw the officials gradually recovering their body functions and asked with concern: "' "Imperial doctor, are you all okay?"

As a qualified emperor and a qualified leader, he could not care about himself at this time, but he had to care about his ministers.

One of the old doctors who followed the trip came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are all okay. ”

“This is not a poison, but a tonic with strong efficacy. However, this medicine is rare and expensive, and even in the prescription, it is used in small quantities. ”

“I didn’t expect that the thieves would have such a large amount of tonic, and they also took advantage of its characteristics and used it as poison.”

The imperial physician felt ashamed, as he had never expected this.

Ying Zheng did not blame him either, but said: "Record these and pay attention to them in the future."

He said this (okay), for the guards around him to hear.

At this time, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Wei with concern and said: "Is my third brother in trouble?"

Ying Wei smiled and shook his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, my brother, I'm fine."

Ying Zheng knew that Ying Wei also had a treasure that was immune to all poisons. No matter how strong the medicine was, it could not really hurt Ying Wei.

He waved his hand and said: "Investigate this matter thoroughly and return to the palace!"

From beginning to end, he ignored Fusu who was bowing all the time.

The eldest prince of the empire trembled and sweated. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and insisted, he would probably faint directly.

Zhao Gao, who was not far away, watched this scene and smiled imperceptibly.

The eighteenth prince Hu Hai was concerned about his father and asked about his father's well-being, while suppressing his ecstasy.

Ying Wei watched all this with a cold eye. Anyway, the result of this matter was good for him, so he naturally would not do anything unnecessary.
