After hearing Ye Zhang's narration, Ying Zheng was also quite moved. Theoretically speaking, the ascension of merit is more convincing than the illusory overseas fairy mountains.

The idea of ​​burying someone who had just arisen was also abandoned. After all, burying a living person was harmful to the heaven and earth. If one's own merits were compromised because of this, it would really be more than worth the gain.

Then he issued an order: "It is my decree that from now on the burial system of sacrifices will be abolished. No one from the princes or princes will be allowed to be buried alive!"

If the soul could ascend to the upper realm after death, it would not matter even if the entire imperial tomb was blown up, let alone abolishing burial.

After hearing this, Zhao Gao's face changed and he said: "Your Majesty's kindness is really a blessing to all people. But without the company of soldiers, how can we guard the huge underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum?"

"this……"

Ying Zheng paused. This was indeed a problem. Although he was very tempted by the matter of ascension, he had to make two preparations. In case he could not escape his fate in the end, the imperial mausoleum was also a necessary choice.

At this time, Ye Zhang said again: "Since Your Majesty wants the imperial mausoleum to have a guardian, but is not willing to bury a living person, it is better to change the idea."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed: "I wonder what the Imperial Master has in mind?"

Ye Zhang said: "Since the strategy of burial with sacrifice is not advisable, I would like to suggest that pottery figurines should be used to replace the burial victims."

Hearing this, Zhao Gao said: "The pottery figurines are just dead objects. How can they replace my soldiers of Great Qin?"

Ye Zhang said: "After death, people return to dust. No matter how brave the soldiers are, they are nothing more than flesh and blood. If they are buried underground, they will turn into withered bones in just a few decades. How can we guard the imperial mausoleum then?

The pottery figurines are made of clay and will not decay even after thousands of years. They can still stand in the tomb and remain intact for thousands of years."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng also began to think about it, wondering whether this method was feasible.

Zhao Gao continued: "The generals of the Qin Dynasty were unparalleled in their bravery, proficient in riding and shooting, and possessed of daring loyalty and a killing spirit. Just like General Meng, his spirit of loyalty and bravery is unparalleled in the world. How can ordinary pottery figurines be compared with it?"

Ye Zhang said: "If your Majesty really can't let go of the Qin Dynasty, these pottery figurines can be made according to the appearance of soldiers and generals. They can even be carved using human faces as molds.

In this way, his height, body shape and appearance will be the same as those of a real person."

As he spoke, Ye Zhang thought for a moment and then continued: "In addition, the blood of the soldiers can be integrated into the pottery figurines, and the two will be integrated into one after being cast.

In this way, we can give them faith and spirituality, and let them guard the imperial mausoleum forever like real soldiers."

Hearing these words, Ying Zheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said: "This is a very good strategy. Not only do the pottery figurines have the physical appearance of the Qin soldiers, but they are also stained with their blood, making them no different from real people.

The most important thing is that these pottery figurines can withstand the erosion of time and will not decay easily. They are indeed the best choice for guarding the imperial tombs."

Ying Zheng stepped forward and continued: "In my mausoleum, there must not only be terracotta warriors, but also chariots, horses, bows and arrows, and soldiers to form an army!"

Speaking of this, a surge of emotion arose in his heart: "I want to build a different empire here. Even in another world, there will still be soldiers who will follow me to charge into battle and pacify all directions!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhang chuckled and said, "It's exactly what your Majesty said."

The reason why he proposed the illusory theory of ascension and even advocated the creation of pottery figurines was to get the other party to give up the idea of ​​burying human beings as human beings.

Although I am not a very compassionate person, I can save many innocent lives with just a few words, so why not do it?

Seeing that Ying Zheng had made up his mind, Zhao Gao couldn't help but clenched his fists, and a chill flashed through his eyes. It was Ye Zhang who had severely injured him in the first place, and now that his plan had been ruined, the murderous intention in his heart had reached its extreme.

He had a hunch that if he couldn't get rid of it, sooner or later he would fall into the opponent's hands.

Ye Zhang seemed to feel the murderous intention, and turned to look at the former. The cold agreement in his eyes was not concealed at all. There was no possibility of reconciliation between the two.

It's just that it's not easy to get rid of either party. You have to wait for the right time...

In the Qin Empire, Ying Zheng's will was the highest order. After deciding to build the Qin Terracotta Warriors, he immediately summoned thousands of elite craftsmen to discuss the design.

After completing the general planning, the fires were lit and the construction began. Soon the vivid human figurines were displayed in front of you.

It has to be said that the craft technology of this era has been very mature. Although it is made of clay, it looks 80% similar to the real person, and even the expression is lifelike.

In particular, the colorful terracotta warriors are extremely vivid and lifelike. Whether they are human or horse warriors, all aspects are made according to real people, even the height is exactly the same.

In addition, there are all kinds of weapons, chariots, bronze cranes for viewing, as well as the emperor's vehicles needed when going out, tall bronze guards, etc. are also available.

In order to restore the real scene as much as possible, even the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China made a high-imitation version according to the same proportions, which can be called the perfect combination of characteristics and artistry.

And just when Ying Zheng was looking at the many figures with appreciation, Ye Zhang had already left Xianyang and came to Yin Yang's house.

Xiaoyi Geng was behind him, looking at everything around him curiously, looking very interested. Although he had been a disciple for a long time, this was the first time he came here.

At this moment, a slightly childish and arrogant voice sounded: "Hey, who are you, how dare you break into the Yin Yang family!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhang turned around and saw a boy of about ten years old walking over with his head held high, with mysterious and strange purple textures engraved on his forehead and the corners of his eyes.

There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Seeing this person, Ye Zhang took a look at him and joked: "Where did this little guy come from? He looks a bit unfamiliar."

"I am the left guardian star soul of the Yin Yang family. You two guys, why don't you tell me the truth!"

Although the young man is not old, his words are quite sharp, and you can tell at a glance that he is not someone to be easy to get along with.

"Little one, no one ever taught you to be polite when talking to your elders?"

Ye Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at the little kid in front of him.
