Chapter 7: Heaven-Swallowing Poisonous Strategy?! I would like to learn from you!
In Ye Chi's view, the benevolence, righteousness and morality advocated by Confucianism are nothing more than a method of controlling the people, used to cover up their selfish nature.
They claim to put the people first, but in reality they are only interested in their own benefit. Their real purpose is to protect their own interests and status.
This behavior runs counter to the ideals that Ye Chi holds in his heart, making it difficult for him to agree with it!
Therefore, Ye Chi was determined to expose the hypocrisy of Confucianism and tear off the cloth it used to cover its shame! !
He wants the people of the world to see his true intentions! !
He knew very well that this move would be strongly opposed and obstructed by Confucianists, but he also firmly believed and vowed to seek true well-being for the people of the world!
Alluring night.
In the mansion, the girl gently brushed off the dust on her clothes and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle. Her face was gentle and her manners revealed a tranquil beauty.
With her slender hands dancing lightly, she put the furnishings in the room in order one by one, and the knives, pens, and wooden tools on the table were placed in an orderly manner.
The windows are bright and clean, welcoming the incoming guests.
Ye Chi walked out of the inner room. After washing up, he looked refreshed, with a heroic look between his brows.
He caught a glimpse of the girl's busy figure, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He called softly, "Girl, you've worked hard."
The girl turned around, her cheeks slightly red, and lowered her head shyly, responding in a soft voice: "Brother Ye Chi, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
Ye Chi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "You don't need to be so reserved in front of me. If I hadn't had you these days, I wouldn't know what I would do."
The girl nodded slightly and decided to serve Ye Chi more attentively.
She raised her head, looked at Ye Chi and said, "Brother Ye Chi, rest assured, I will definitely do what you ask me to do."
At this time, the sound of birds singing could be heard outside the window. The sky had cleared up and the sunlight shone into the house through the window lattice, creating a mottled effect.
Ye Chi walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the distant horizon.
He estimated the time and thought that those young masters should be here soon.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation in his heart.
……
Zhangtai Palace.
It stands tall and majestic, like a dragon or a tiger!
The First Emperor Ying Zheng sat upright on the imperial couch, looking majestic without even getting angry. An invisible imperial aura permeated the entire hall!
Zhang Han knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, I have found out where Ye Chi is now, and several of the young masters have also gone there."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said in a deep voice: "Ye Chi... Since he is known as the Sky-Swallowing Poisonous Strategy, he must be no ordinary person. I want to meet him in person to see what he is capable of!"
After saying this, Ying Zheng stood up, his dragon robe fluttering, exuding the majesty of a king dominating the world.
He walked down the jade steps slowly and told Zhang Han, "Prepare to go on a tour incognito. I want to personally listen to Ye Chi's Heaven-Swallowing Poison Plan!!"
Zhang Han took the order and left, while Ying Zheng changed into casual clothes, concealing his usual majesty and domineering, and turned into an ordinary person.
However, despite his simple clothing, the majesty and bearing between his brows could not be concealed.
With a sound of low footsteps, Ying Zheng walked out of Zhangtai Palace.
The sunlight fell on his body, reflecting his firm and deep eyes.
He knew what kind of people and things he would encounter during this incognito tour, but he was full of confidence.
Because he is the first emperor, the ruler of the world!!
No matter what challenges he encounters, he will face them calmly and smile at the changes!
Sky-Swallowing Poison Strategy? !
I'd like to learn from you!
……
Outside Ye Chi's mansion, Fusu, Gongzi Gao, Jianglu and other young masters came one after another, each of them was charming and had extraordinary bearing.
Prince Fusu was handsome and elegant, dressed in a plain white brocade robe, as elegant and refined as a white crane in the clouds.
He had a handsome face and a scholarly air between his brows, as if he were a well-read scholar.
He looked calm, walked steadily, and his every move revealed a noble yet friendly temperament.
Gongzi Gaoze has an upright figure and a dignified face, and his luxurious brocade clothes make him look even more heroic.
His eyes were bright and sharp, and he looked intimidating without even being angry, which made people afraid.
However, beneath his majestic appearance, he vaguely reveals a sense of boldness and unruliness, as if he is a brave general galloping on the battlefield.
Young Master Jianglu is gentle and elegant, dressed in a flowing blue robe, just like a handsome scholar.
He has delicate features and a smile on his lips, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
He has a calm demeanor, and his words and actions reveal a humility and kindness that inspires respect.
Three young masters stood in front of the mansion, each exuding a different charm, but all equally eye-catching.
They were either elegant, dignified, or gentle, but they all revealed an extraordinary temperament that made people sigh. They looked at the courtyard that didn't fit in with them and frowned slightly.
This courtyard is located between prosperous streets and alleys. Compared with the magnificent and majestic mansions around it, it looks rather simple and even a little shabby.
The courtyard wall is low and the stone bricks are mottled, and the years have left deep marks on it.
There are no prominent stone lions guarding the door, nor luxurious plaques to indicate the identity. There is only an old wooden door standing quietly.
Outside the courtyard, the grass and trees are lush and green, but they have not been trimmed by humans, and the branches and leaves grow wildly, appearing a bit messy.
Although these plants and trees do not have the beauty of being deliberately carved, they do have a unique natural charm.
But in this prosperous place, this scene seems somewhat out of place, as if it is a forgotten corner.
However, it is this simplicity and naturalness that makes this courtyard unique among the surrounding prosperity.
Although it does not have a gorgeous appearance, it has a tranquil and far-reaching temperament, allowing people to find a trace of peace in the hustle and bustle.
For those who are tired of red tape and luxurious life, this may be a rare safe haven.
Gongzi Gao looked around and saw that the courtyard was simple and out of tune with the prosperity of the surrounding mansions. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "How could such a humble abode hide a dragon or a crouching tiger? If Ye Chi was really capable, why would he be confined to this place?"
Jiang Lu also echoed, "Brother Gao is right. We came here because we admired your reputation, but now it seems that we have come here in vain."
"Alas, how can such a shabby place breed pillars of society?"
"I wanted to see his style, but today, this place is so desolate, I think Ye Chi is just so-so, and his reputation is probably in vain."
Upon hearing this, all the young masters looked disappointed. Their original expectations and curiosity about Ye Chi disappeared in an instant.
They were born into noble families and had been accustomed to prosperity and luxury since childhood. Naturally, they were disdainful of such a shabby scene. They thought that Ye Chi must have no real talent or knowledge, which was why he had to live in such a small place.
For a moment, everyone was talking about it, all expressing their disdain and disappointment towards Ye Chi.
They originally wanted to find a master and listen to his Sky-Swallowing Poison Plan, but they did not expect this to be the result. They couldn't help feeling unwilling and regretful.
Just as Prince Gao, Jiang Lu and others were losing interest and were about to turn around and leave, Prince Fusu suddenly stopped and said loudly:
"My dear brothers, please be patient. As the saying goes, one cannot judge a person by his appearance, and one cannot measure the depth of the ocean. Although Dr. Ye lives in a humble house, it is possible that he is truly a world-shaking talent. Since we are already here, why not go in and see him first and then make a decision?"
Fusu's words were like the sound of a morning bell and an evening drum, instantly waking everyone up!
They were proud of their status and judged people by their appearance, and had been dismissive of Ye Chi's humble home. But after being enlightened by Fusu's words, they realized that they had lost their sense of proportion and could not help feeling a little guilty.
Gongzi Gao and Jiang Lu looked at each other and saw embarrassment and self-blame in each other's eyes.
They all responded in unison: "Brother, you are right. We are too superficial and judge people by appearance. Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. We will go in and see Dr. Ye's true appearance."
So, everyone straightened their clothes, put away their previous disappointment and disdain, and stepped into Ye Chi's humble abode one by one with a bit of expectation and guilt.
Prince Fusu smiled slightly and followed everyone closely, but he was more curious and expectant about Ye Chi in his heart.
When everyone stepped into Ye Chi's courtyard, what they saw shocked them.
Different from outside the door, this courtyard is small but decorated exquisitely and in an orderly manner. Every blade of grass and every tree is elegant, and every stone and every water is spiritual!
A table had already been set up in the courtyard, with exquisite wine vessels and food utensils on the table, just the right seats for them.
Even the numbers are accurate!!
Seeing this, Gongzi Gao couldn't help but blurt out: "What...what does this mean? Could it be that Dr. Ye had already guessed that we would come?"
Jiang Lu was also surprised, and looked around and said: "This arrangement is obviously well prepared. Ye Chi is really an extraordinary person. He can predict things so well!"
A hint of approval flashed in Master Fusu's eyes, and he nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Dr. Ye is not only talented, but also has great foresight. Today's trip will definitely be worthwhile."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and their admiration for Ye Chi increased even more.
They originally came here just because of his reputation, but at this moment they truly felt Ye Chi's extraordinaryness.
For a moment, the courtyard fell into a brief silence.
Everyone was immersed in this unexpected shock.
At the same time, in a hidden corner outside the courtyard, Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng and Zhang Han arrived quietly.
Both of them were dressed in casual clothes and came in plain clothes to avoid being seen.
However, even so, the First Emperor's innate majesty and imperial aura could not be concealed.
Ying Zheng stood in the corner, his eyes as deep as the sea, overlooking the simple courtyard in front of him.
Although he was not wearing the imperial robe, his every move revealed a domineering aura that looked down upon the world! !
Zhang Han followed closely beside him and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is Ye Chi's residence. I have already found out that several young masters have entered to visit."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Well, I also want to hear what this Sky-Swallowing Poison Strategy means. Zhang Han, please pay attention to your surroundings."
Zhang Han responded and looked around vigilantly.
Ying Zheng slowly approached the courtyard, ready to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation, and he wanted to find out what the mystery of this legendary Heaven-Swallowing Poison Strategy was!
