Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

After the Zhou Dynasty, with the strength of the vassal states and the weakening of the authority of Zhou Tianzi, Jiuding gradually fell from the altar.

For the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, they all thought about how to subvert the power of Zhou Tianzi and unify the world by themselves. Naturally, it was impossible to recognize the authority and orthodoxy of Jiuding.

But after all, Jiuding has been passed down for so many years, and it still has some representation of power.

In 255 BC, the king of Qin moved Jiuding to Qin to replace the emperor of Zhou and establish himself as the co-lord of the world, which also meant that he could legitimately send troops to crusade against various vassal states.

However, when the Jiuding was transported back to Xianyang, when passing through Surabaya, the Yuzhou Ding accidentally fell into the water.

At that time, the King of Qin also sent people to search for it, but there was no trace of Yuzhou Ding.

Many people in later generations said that the disappearance of Yuzhou Ding was like a foreshadowing for Daqin.

The nine tripods are uneven, from a metaphysical point of view, it means that the imperial power of Daqin is not stable.

Therefore, Daqin finally ended up with the death of the second generation.

Although it is enough to listen to these things as rumors, even Ying Zheng himself does not believe it, but if he can find the missing Yuzhou tripod, it will definitely be a good thing for Daqin.

……

The next day, Zhao Che got up early, and Gong Shuchou had assembled a large number of laborers, and was waiting for Zhao Che by the edge of Surabaya.

"My lord, after the Yuzhou tripod fell into Surabaya, His Majesty has asked people to search for it several times without a trace. Are you really so confident that you will find the Yuzhou tripod this time?"

Gong Shuchou looked at Zhao Che suspiciously.

Zhao Che shook his head. He didn't dare to say that he was absolutely sure. After all, the Yuzhou tripod had completely disappeared since it fell into Surabaya.

Qin Shihuang searched so many times but failed to find it, and he dared not say that he would definitely find it.

But Zhao Che had a guess that this was the important reason why he came to seek the cauldron this time.

"If I'm not mistaken, if my father sent someone to look for the Yuzhou cauldron, he must have been looking for it in the lower reaches of Sishui, right?"

"That's right, the Yuzhou tripod fell into the water, the water flows downhill, and the Surabaya water flow is fast, so it will naturally be washed downstream. Is there any problem?"

Gong Shuqiu said it as a matter of course, and the others also agreed with his idea.

"No, in fact, you have fallen into a misunderstanding. Whoever says something that falls into the water will definitely be washed downstream? According to the theory of scientific research, it is more likely that the Yuzhou tripod should be in the upper reaches of Surabaya."

"Upstream?"

Gongshuqiu was dumbfounded, this is unscientific.

Water flows to low places, this is the same principle for thousands of years, things that fall into the water will naturally be carried by the current to the low places, how could it be possible to go upstream.

The Yuzhou tripod doesn't have long legs, how can it run upstream by itself?This is obviously unscientific!
However, Zhao Che shook his head. According to the thinking of ordinary people, if the tripod fell into the water, he should indeed look for it downstream.

But Zhao Che is a modern person of later generations. There is an article in the junior high school Chinese textbook called "Stone Beast in the River".

However, the principle of the stone beast in the river is not so easy to understand. Many information that Zhao Che found on the Internet are specious, and there is no reliable scientific basis.

On the Internet of later generations, there are different opinions on the scientific principles in the text "Stone Beast in the River".

There are also more reliable ones, which have been analyzed from various aspects such as seasons, climate, river flow direction, size and location.

Although Zhao Che didn't know whether it was true or not, it didn't prevent him from trying it himself.

Anyway, after the Yuzhou tripod sank into Surabaya, I couldn't find it, so I just went upstream to have a look.

"Why do you think that the Yuzhou tripod will flow to the upper reaches of Sishui?"

Gongshuchou ordered a few warriors with good water skills to follow Zhao Che's instructions, get down into the water and swim upstream to the Sishui River to look for the Yuzhou tripod, then turned around and asked his own doubts.

All the officials present also held the mentality of watching the excitement, and quietly waited for Zhao Che's performance.

Even Yu Huatian, who was absolutely loyal, felt that Zhao Che's words had no reason at all.

"Actually, I've heard a similar story. Listen to me tell you."

Zhao Che cleared his throat, and then stumbled and memorized the text on the stone beast in the river.

The main time has passed for too long, and it is impossible for Zhao Che to remember it completely, but the meaning is probably the same.

"Young master, can you repeat the last two paragraphs you just said? I didn't remember!"

The voice of Gongshuchou sounded, and he turned his head to see that he was frantically writing the text that Zhao Che had recited just now with the pen and paper he borrowed from nowhere.

"Bronze tripod is strong and heavy, sand is loose and floating, water can't rush against the tripod, and its backlash force..."

"All right!"

Gongshuchou flicked the recorded paper, because it was written with charcoal, so there is no need to worry about smearing when the ink is not dry.

Gongshu Chou Meizi added a few sentences to the front, and then made a summary at the end, and then marked it as his work, named it "Bronze Ding in the River"!
After returning to Xianyang, he will publish this text, which will definitely make those scholars and Confucian scholars in Daqin envious.

As for Zhao Che, he is just a character in the work, and the author has nothing to do with him.

Zhao Che couldn't help laughing when he saw Gong Shu's actions.

Fortunately, he doesn't care about these little things.

Most of the traversers who have traveled to ancient times like to use the poems of later generations to pretend to be aggressive.

Zhao Che had no interest in this, and of course he had published those poems and works on weekdays.

However, when Ying Zheng asked about the author of these poems, Zhao Che would always ask to use the original author's name.

As for how the authors of later generations, such as Li Du, would react to these poems, that is none of Zhao Che's business.

These Tang poems and Song Ci by Zhao Che are still very widely circulated. Therefore, there are many great talents who have never met in the current circle of Daqin scholars and literati.

For example, Li Bai, a poet, Du Fu, a poet, and Su Shi and Tang Yin.

However, these talents all have a common feature, that is, they have never shown up, only their poems are circulating.

As a result, the scholars and literati in Daqin praised these great talents even more.

With such talent, but without a look on his face, isn't this a representative of indifference to fame and fortune?

After finishing the article, Gong Shuchou also thought of his business. Whether this article can be passed on depends on the result of this trip.

If traces of the Yuzhou tripod can be found upstream, then there is no doubt about the authenticity of this article.

But if he couldn't find the Yuzhou tripod, not only would the article not be published, but Zhao Che's face would also be lost.
