Chapter 241 Qin III succeeded to the throne and the mission was completed [Please subscribe]

Time flies, and nearly a hundred years have passed.

Time has come to the 128th year of the First Emperor.

The Imperial City of Xianyang has changed from what it used to be and has become the most holy city in the world.

On this day, the wind was gentle and sunny, and the sky was clear.

In the imperial garden of the imperial city, flowers are in full bloom, vying for beauty.

There are dozens of large and small buildings in the garden, such as the Swing Pavilion, the Wanchun Pavilion, the Chengrui Pavilion, the Fubi Pavilion, and the Qin'an Hall, but they don't look crowded or repetitive.

Among the pavilions and pavilions, there are various precious ancient trees such as pines and cypresses, dotted with vibrant bamboos and strange-shaped stones.

Those strange rocks may be stacked together to form rockeries, which are abrupt and majestic;

Some are like Ganoderma lucidum, some are like elephants, some are like monkeys, and some are like fairies.

Ying Zheng was sitting in the Wanchun Pavilion admiring the flowers, surrounded by warblers and swallows, and all the concubines from the harem were sitting around him.

Lu Susu sat next to Ying Zheng and fed Ying Zheng some fruits from time to time, appearing very intimate.

The passage of time did not leave many traces on Lu Susu's face. It only washed away the greenness on her face and added some grace and wealth.

Ying Zheng held a copy of the Daqin Daily and read it carefully. From time to time he ate the fruit fed by Concubine Lu, which was quite satisfying.

"Sir, Eunuch Yi left the night before yesterday."

At this time, Lu Susu lightly opened her red lips and said suddenly.

Eunuch Yi, that is, Yi Xiaochuan, was nearly a hundred years old this year and finally died of old age.

Logically speaking, the life span of men in today's era is generally between fifty and sixty years old, and those who live longer are only around seventy years old.

It is a great blessing that Yi Xiaochuan can live to be nearly a hundred years old.

"Oh? I understand."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression remained unchanged and he replied in a neither serious nor serious tone.

Yi Xiaochuan's death was within his expectation, so he was not surprised.

If Yi Xiaochuan hadn't been baptized with energy from the tiger-shaped pendant, he would never have survived for so long.

After a while, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Lu Susu: "Didn't the emperor come to pay his respects today?"

"I heard from my sister that there are a lot of affairs in the court these days. The prince may be busy dealing with state affairs and did not have time to pay his respects to the master."

Lu Susu explained to her son: "Why, do you have any orders from me?"

"Look here!"

Ying Zheng pointed to the records in the newspaper and said: "A few days ago, our country, the Qin Dynasty, conquered Africa, which is thousands of miles away. The emperor issued an order to include those dark-skinned natives as citizens. Isn't this nonsense? I'm great.

Da Qin, how can we let black ghosts mess up their bloodline?"

"If I look at it, they should be demoted to inferior slaves. They can only work as cattle and horses for the rest of their lives, dedicating their lives to the prosperity of our Great Qin."

"It seems that the emperor has been brainwashed by those Confucian people. He is so arrogant that he has forgotten my teachings."

"When he comes to pay his respects later, you are not allowed to plead for him. I will teach him a lesson."

The current emperor is the thirty-eighth son of Ying Zheng, named Ying Licheng, and the seventh son of Lu Susu.

Nearly a hundred years have passed. The eldest son Fusu died of old age, and the eighteenth son Hu Hai also died of old age.

When Ying Zheng retired at the age of 120, the thirty-eighth son Ying Li became the suitable successor, and Ying Zheng made him the emperor, as the second emperor of Qin.

However, by the time Qin II became emperor, he was already in his forties. He received Confucian education in his early years, and his thoughts had been fixed and extremely difficult to change.

Therefore, seeing the so-called benevolent government of Qin II, Ying Zheng became extremely angry.

"Master calm down and govern the country according to Legalism, with Confucianism as an assistant. But you personally decided on the national policy. What's wrong with Cheng'er?"

Lu Susu rolled her eyes at him and helped her son speak: "After Cheng'er ascended the throne, he has planted the black water dragon flag of our Great Qin in every corner of the world. Isn't he an emperor qualified enough? Even if he is not an eternal wise king,

But he can also be regarded as a loyal king, right?"

"Moreover, I, the Qin Dynasty, have been fighting for years and have brought all the territory of the world into my Qin Dynasty. Now it is time to recuperate and give the people of the world a breath of air."

"Incorporating those indigenous people as citizens can be regarded as giving the lower class a way to survive. There is no need to beat them to death with a stick, so as not to arouse public anger and cause more troubles in vain."

"Of course, having said that, Feizhou is tens of thousands of miles away from our homeland of Great Qin. Even if they are both nationals, how can the indigenous people there compare with our local citizens in terms of treatment and welfare?

"

"So, as far as I'm concerned, Master, you don't need to worry too much about this matter, Cheng'er will always take care of it."

"Besides, Cheng'er is fifty-six years old this year, and his hair and beard are all white. He is at the age when he knows his destiny. You have to save some face for him and don't reprimand him like before."

There are several Qin Shihuangs in the world, how can the successors compare with him?

The Second Emperor of Qin had only been on the throne for eleven years, but he had already brought the entire world's territory into the scope of Great Qin, which was enough to deserve the name of the Second Emperor of Qin.

Therefore, in Lu Susu's view, Ying Zheng's requirements were too high and he was too harsh on his son.

"What do you know? If I hadn't conquered all of Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, leaving only Africa for him, and established a military affairs office, a cabinet, and nine ministries to help him lay the foundation, where would he be?

Can you make such a big contribution?"

Ying Zheng glared at her and said: "However, although Confucianism is applicable to governing a country, a king should not be trapped by the so-called benevolence and righteousness. It is used to manage the people and restrain the people, not for the king to restrain himself.

"

"When I changed the national policy and allowed Confucians to participate in the court of Qin, it was also because the Qin Dynasty was on the verge of collapse at that time. Legalism's rule of the country was too harsh and was difficult to break, so I pulled the Confucians onto the chariot.

Ease domestic conflicts and let them play a mediating role."

"Cheng'er has ruined his brain by studying and suffered from the poison of Confucianism. His thoughts have changed from a superior to a inferior. He is really stupid!"

Hearing Lu Susu speak for his son, Ying Zheng sneered and said with disdain.

As a woman, she knows how to govern the country with a hammer.

Confucianism is famous for its benevolence and righteousness. Such ideas can be used to brainwash the people and help rulers manage the world.

But what is truly useful to rulers is Legalism, which governs the world with upright Legalist ideas.

Use Confucianism to imprison people's thoughts, and use Legalism to regulate people's behavior.

Such a two-pronged approach of Confucianism and Legalism can make the world stable, and the people can happily accept the fate of being exploited and cut off by the rulers.

If the rulers themselves are brainwashed by Confucianism, it will be doomed.

For more details, you can refer to one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period: Song Xiang Gongzi Zifu, Han Yuan Emperor Liu Xi, Ming Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and Ming Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang.

Although these emperors were praised by Confucianists as benevolent and righteous kings, they governed the world in a mess, and their power was also controlled by Confucians.

"Your Majesty is here!"

At this moment, the little eunuch outside the imperial garden gate sang loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the vast team walked into the Imperial Garden and arrived in front of the Wanchun Pavilion.

"My son, I send my regards to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen!"

Wearing a black dragon robe, twelve crowns on his head, and white hair and beard, Ying Licheng, the second emperor of Qin, stepped down from the dragon chariot and bowed to salute.

"Emperor, get up quickly and sit down here with your mother."

Lu Susu stood up and waved to the emperor.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Ying Licheng stood up and walked to the pavilion. The concubines beside him quickly gave up their seats.

The mother and son were sitting together, looking extremely inconsistent.

My mother is still in her prime, she looks to be in her twenties at most, in the prime of her youth.

But the son's hair was already full of white, and the wrinkles on his face were covered in mosquitoes. He had half a foot in the coffin.

This is because Ying Zheng did not pass down the method of immortality, but only the method of martial arts cultivation.

After cultivating to the highest level, one can fly over eaves and walls, jump ten feet, break mountains and stones, and cut water with a knife, but one cannot achieve immortality.

Why didn't he teach the immortal way of cultivation?

Without him, he just doesn't want to.

The main line of this mission is to save Qin II from death.

If the immortal way is passed down and the subsequent emperors can live for tens of thousands of years, how can it be passed on to the third and fourth lives? How can he complete the task?

Therefore, after much thought, Ying Zheng did not bother to pass on the immortal way, but only extended the life of the Lu family sisters and kept them young forever.

Even after being the emperor for more than a hundred years, he didn't even bother to be the emperor anymore and directly gave the throne to his son.

As long as Qin II dies and Qin III ascends the throne, his main mission will be completed and he can return.
