Chapter 246 The power to cast the tripod [Please subscribe and vote monthly]

After Qin destroyed Zhou, the world lost its nominal authority and entered a chaotic era of chaos among kings.

In this era, the princes were independent in their own affairs, and there was no longer a nominal emperor, let alone the so-called authority of holding the emperor to order the princes.

Before the appearance of the Chuanguo Jade Seal, the Nine Tripods represented authority. However, the Nine Tripods were snatched away by the Qin Dynasty after it destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, and the princes would not recognize it.

Now Qin is openly preaching to collect the world's gold and build the tenth cauldron!

This fame and prestige are something that the Qin State can hardly obtain with a lot of money.

And they almost wanted to give it up!

"Once we publicly announce our intention to build King Yu's Tenth Cauldron, I'm afraid we will encounter opposition and hostility from all countries!" Lord Changping hesitated.

Forging the tenth cauldron can only be done by the common master of the world. The princes will never want to see Qin gain such authority, and a war will be inevitable by then!

"Even if there was no such thing as casting the tripod, the princes in the world would not be hostile to us?" Lu Buwei asked.

The Qin State was so powerful that the princes were afraid of it, so why did they join forces so many times?

Therefore, other countries may be afraid of the backlash of forging King Yu's Tenth Cauldron, but Qin's national debt is too heavy and it has long been accustomed to being attacked by princes united, and they don't care about the backlash behind this reputation.

"If we openly promote the casting of the Tenth Cauldron, will it bring danger to Bing Jun?" Ying Zheng asked.

Qin is not afraid, but Bingzhou's foundation is not stable, can it really withstand it?

"Don't worry, the princes will only cause trouble for us, not Bingzhou!" Lu Buwei said with a smile.

Yan Yan asked for the Bingzhou tripod and expressed his ambition with the statue, which naturally stood at the highest moral point. Any country that dared to launch troops against Bingzhou would be subject to the joint conquest of other princes.

Because they are expanding their territory and guarding their borders!

"However, when we cast the tenth cauldron, we will definitely encounter trouble from intermediaries from various countries. If we do not allow this tenth cauldron to appear, at least it cannot be cast by our Great Qin. Therefore, we must keep the casting of the tenth cauldron a secret!" Lu Buwei said seriously.

"Keep it secret?" Changping Jun was confused. Didn't he say that he would tell the world, so why should he keep it a secret?

"No conflict!" Lu Buwei shook his head, "We are just telling the world that we will build the tenth tripod, the Bingzhou tripod, on top of King Yu's nine tripods, but we will not tell the world which forger will cast it and where it will be cast!"

"I understand!" Mr. Changping also came to his senses.

The Qin State just wanted the reputation of being the world's leader, but that didn't mean they would tell the world where they were and who made it.

Regarding the specific matters of casting the tripod, the whole process was kept secret, and Qin State enshriners and elites were dispatched to guard and protect it around the clock. No one was allowed to interfere until it was delivered to the envoys!

After discussion, the State of Qin announced to the world in the name of King Qin that he would collect gold from the world and cast King Yu's tenth cauldron!

For a time, the world was in an uproar, and envoys from hundreds of families and princes gathered in Xianyang, demanding that the King of Qin withdraw this edict, because the King of Qin did not have the qualifications!

It's just that Ying Zheng sat opposite Lu Buwei in the palace calmly, which was what they expected.

If words are useful, what can we do with an army?

If you have the ability, just send troops to fight!

"The princes sent envoys instead of sending out armies, which proves that they will not join forces again!" Lu Buwei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they don't join forces, Qin will have nothing to fear!

"Report to your Majesty, Gongshu Chou, the patriarch of Qufu Gongshu family in the State of Lu, wants to see Mr. Qiu!" The herald suddenly broke into Qinian Palace to report.

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei frowned. Didn't they say that when the elders of these scholars from hundreds of schools came, they could just say whatever they wanted and ignore them, so why did they come to report.

"The head of the Gongshu family said that he was not here to oppose, but to support!" Seeing Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei's displeasure, the soldier hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained. "Oh?" Lu Buwei was surprised, then looked up at Ying Zheng and said, "The Gongshu family is one of the hundreds of families that our Great Qin wants to win over!"

"That loser from the public transport class?" Ying Zhengchi asked.

"Well, there are two major schools of organ art in the world, the Mohists and the Gongshu family. There are poems in the world. The Mohist organs are made of wood and stone. When bronze opens its mouth, ask Gongshu!"

"The Gongshu family is inferior to the Mohist family in terms of size and influence, but in terms of mechanism skills, it is the only one that can compete with the Mohist family."

"And unlike the Mohist non-offensive machine arts, the Gongshu family's machine arts follow a domineering line and are best at creating all kinds of offensive and aggressive weapons!"

Lu Buwei introduced the situation of the Gongshu family to Ying Zheng, and also let Ying Zheng know which families Qin should make good friends with and win over each other.

"Please!" Ying Zheng also understood. What Qin needs is to attack, to attack constantly. Therefore, the public losers are more suitable for Qin than the Mohists!

The ugly Gong Shuqiu entered the Qinian Palace under the leadership of a soldier and met the two most powerful people in the world today.

Seeing Gongshu Chou's appearance, Ying Zheng frowned unconsciously, but soon returned to his smile. A person cannot be judged by his appearance. To be able to become the head of Gongshu Chou's family with such an appearance can only prove that this person has higher talents!

"Zhao Zheng has met you, sir!" Ying Zheng took the initiative to salute, giving Gong Shuqiu a very high courtesy.

Gong Shuqiu was also surprised and looked at Ying Zheng carefully. He knew his appearance, so he was already used to being looked down upon, but he did not expect to receive such courtesy from Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei.

"Gongshu Chou, pay homage to the King of Qin, and pay homage to Prime Minister Lu!" Gong Shouqiu bowed solemnly.

"Give me a seat!" Ying Zheng motioned to the waiter to bring him a table and a seat.

The guest and the host sit on their knees and talk across the table.

"I wonder what the Gongshu family leader is doing?" Lu Buwei asked.

Hearing Lu Buwei's question, Gongshuqiu felt bitter and deeply grudged. In order to snatch the construction project of Third Prince City from the Mohists, they rushed all the way to Third Prince City, but were tortured by the stolen feet.

When they received the news that the Qin State was going to build a new tripod for King Yu, they finally reached Daliang.

Talking too much brings me to tears!

"I think your Majesty and Prime Minister Lu must have heard this song. Qing Qing opened his mouth and asked Gongshu, right?" Gongshu Qiu looked at Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei and asked.

"The Gongshu family's domineering power skills are unparalleled in the world. Even in Xianyang, I have heard about it for a long time!" Ying Zheng raised his hand at the right time.

"I heard that your Majesty wants to cast King Yu's new tripod, and King Yu's nine tripods are all made of bronze, so Qiu boldly recommends himself to cast King Yu's new tripod, the Bingzhou tripod!" Gong Shuqiu asked expectantly but a little uneasily.

This is King Yu's new tripod. If it were made by the Gongshu family, it would be famous in history, and it would be no less powerful than the construction of the Third Prince's City!

But Gongshu Qiu also knew that there were many forgers in the world who wanted to cast the Bingzhou tripod. The top forgers from the Mohist, Tangxi, Nongjia, and other countries would probably fight for their heads for this purpose.

In comparison, their public losers don't have much advantage!
