When passing by the Qin Mansion, Xiang Shaolong, although he felt very tired, could not resist the pain of lovesickness and slipped in to find the owner of the house.
The general at the gate was not aware of his relationship with Qin Qing, so he was welcomed into the house without informing him.
The butler, Uncle Fang, led him into the main hall at the gate of the mansion. Just as he was about to inform Qin Qing, Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "I was just passing by in a hurry. Let me just say hello to Mr. Qin." He asked.
Knowing where Qin Qing was, he walked through the corridor and walked to the back compartment.
Several pretty maids were having fun making snow in the garden. When they saw Xiang Shaolong, they all whispered to each other, chuckled, and gave him directions.
Crossing the threshold of the east chamber, I saw Qin Qing leaning on the couch, wearing a plain green skirt and gown, and a purple shawl with a phoenix pattern. She had a jade hairpin fixed on her head, with a few strands hanging down, highlighting her peerless appearance.
He actually showed a charming and charming look that was rarely seen in ordinary times. With Xiang Shaolong's determination, he was still stunned.
She holds the silk in one hand and the needle in the other, concentrating on embroidery.
Qin Qing was startled when she thought that Xiang Shaolong would suddenly appear in front of her. She felt a little at a loss and reached out to brush her temples. She sat up and said, "Oh, it's you."
When Xiang Shaolong saw her move that made her even more charming, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly moved forward and sat on the side of the bed, almost touching the side of her legs. He leaned forward and said, "Hello, Master Qin."
Forgive Xiang Shaolong for the late greeting."
Qin Qing leaned back slightly and distanced the distance between his two faces, but she didn't blame him for being rude. She seemed to be angry but not angry, which was extremely touching.
Xiang Shaolong noticed the embroidery in her hand, and held it behind her back intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was afraid that he would see Daqi: "What kind of pattern is Taifu Qin embroidering?"
Qin Qing's jade cheeks immediately burned, and he lowered his head and said angrily: "Master Xiang, please be more careful. How can you sit at the same table with Qin Qing?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that she had a tender face, and secretly thought that the embroidery might be related to him. His heart was as sweet as honey, and he said softly: "I just came to say hello, and I will leave immediately. Even if I am rude, it will only be for a moment. Qin
Master, can you indulge me for a while?"
Qin Qing said in shock: "You are the one who wants to barge in like this, and your hair is disheveled."
Xiang Shaolong came a little closer so that he could enjoy her orchid-like rue scent, and said with a smile: "I don't think so at all. If not, I wouldn't be able to appreciate Taifu Qin's charming and carefree appearance at this moment.
"
Qin Qing returned to her usual coolness, but the red clouds still hadn't completely receded. She stood up from the other side of the table, put the embroidery in a lacquer box in a corner, folded it and placed it neatly, carefully and carefully.
, as soon as the lid of the box was closed, Xiang Shaolong came to her side, followed her example, knelt down and sat on his calves, and said softly: "Are you happy to see me come back safely?"
From this angle, Xiang Shaolong just admired the classical and sensual beauty of this beautiful woman's side profile, and Xiang Shaolong was so enchanted that he naturally said provocative words.
Qin Hua was silent for a while, then looked at him deeply with her pretty face, sighed quietly and said: "Master Xiang, don't you still have a lot of things to do? Don't waste your time here."
These two sentences were like a bucket of cold water being poured down on his head. Xiang Shaolong immediately became cold-headed and his enthusiasm faded. After a moment of confusion, he could no longer bear the awkward silence between the two of them, and he felt angry in his heart.
He nodded and stood up without saying a word. After giving a brief salute, he walked towards the door. At the same time, he vowed in his heart that he would never set foot in Qin Mansion again.
Before crossing the threshold, Qin Qing whispered: "Xiang Shaolong"
Xiang Shaolong stopped and said coldly, "Teacher Qin, what advice do you have?"
There was a soft sound of footsteps, and Qin Qing came up behind him and said softly: "Are you annoyed?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "If you were me, would you be happy?"
Qin Qing walked around him, moved in front of him, and said calmly: "Of course I'm not happy, but do you know that your behavior just now is really disrespectful?"
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that Qin Qing had misunderstood him. Since she had many eyes and ears in the palace, she immediately got Zhu Ji's support after learning that he was alone with Zhu Ji. Therefore, she thought that he was using a beauty trick, so she treated him
He had contempt in his heart, so he became so cold.
He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Qin turns out to have so little confidence in me, Xu Shaolong. You can guess as much as you like. Anyway, I'm used to your misunderstandings." Ignoring Qin Qing's call, he quickly left Qin.
Mansion.
Just as they rushed out of Qin Mansion with the Eighteen Iron Guards, they ran into Pei Ying and several girls from the Naughty Army, and they couldn't avoid them even if they wanted to.
The two groups of people reined in their horses and stopped beside the road. Ying Ying seemed to be filled with guilt and guilt. Shen Qian said awkwardly: "Master Xiang, why are you back so many days ago and still haven't come to visit?"
Xiang Shaolong was in a bad mood at this time, and he knew that Ying Ying was fooling around with Guan Zhongxie all day long, so he was interested in dealing with her, so he said coldly: "Will Miss Ying be free?" He ignored her again and went off to flatter her.
Back to Wu Mansion, I was busy looking for Ji Yanran.
This talented girl had just finished her two favorite things. After waking up from a nap, she took a hot bath. She lay on the small table with a delicious smell. She leaned on a soft cushion with her back and covered her body with a thin quilt, leisurely and contentedly.
While looking at Jane, there was a crystal Wang Xiao in her arms.
This touching picture of a peerless beauty resting came into view. Xiang Shaolong immediately forgot about today's unpleasantness and unceremoniously got into her brocade quilt and buried it in her fragrant arms. Ji Yanran happily put down Jane
, letting Xiang Shaolong sniff her body fragrance, and said slowly: "My husband, are you frustrated? Otherwise, how could you look so angry?"
Xiang Shaolong sighed comfortably and first told about Lu Buwei's reward for the city gate.
Ji Yanran frowned, crossed her legs, brushed a few weeping cherry blossoms, and said calmly: "Lu Buwei's skills are indeed very powerful, shaping himself into a new saint; but it is not impossible to deal with it.
The other way is, oh, don’t live with your relatives, okay? How about teaching people how to plan for you?”
Xiang Shaolong moved his greedy mouth away from her breast, sat up reluctantly, carefully examined his beautiful black and white eyes, and said happily: "I knew you would have a solution."
Ji Yanran rolled her eyes at him, a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said calmly: "I have also read Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals. It is indeed an immortal masterpiece, but the weakest link is Lu Buwei's theory of picking up people's wisdom. Compared with what I have done,
Dad; he is really far behind. The fatal flaw is that it is inappropriate for the time. As long as I put forward the five virtues of my godfather, I guarantee that his high-profile empty words can be outweighed."
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "Isn't my godfather's Five Virtues a kind of prophecy? How can it be put to use?"
Ji Yanran fell into his arms and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, you are so cutely confused. The purpose of Lu Buwei's excerpt of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is to build momentum for his status as a saint and overwhelm the Qin people's centralized monarchy. As long as we
The Five Virtues can be used from beginning to end, for example, Zhou has the virtue of Fire, and Qin has the virtue of Water. Water can overcome fire, so it is invincible. Naturally, the prince can be turned into a saint who rises to the occasion. Then when will it be Lu Buwei's turn to raise his head?
"
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and hugged Ji Yanran, who was weak and delicate with the body fragrance after bathing, and laughed loudly: "Ji Yanran, just accompany me to the palace to see me."
Ji Yanran protested: "I feel so comfortable now, why don't I enter the palace tomorrow?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "If you don't get married and obey your husband, I will have to accompany me immediately."
When the quarrel broke out, Tian Zhen came to report, and Qin Qing came.
Ji Yanran broke away from his arms, kissed him and said, "Go and greet Sister Qing. After she has changed her clothes, she will accompany you to the palace. Who told me that Ji Yanran is going to marry you?" She slipped away with a smile.
When Xiang Shaolong walked into the hall of the main house, Qin Qing was carrying him on her back to watch the snow-covered winter scenery in the garden. Her graceful and elegant body was so down-to-earth, with indescribable pride, and was not tainted by the world at all.
Coming behind her, Xiang Shaolong felt apologetic and secretly blamed himself for being too narrow-minded. She was so tired that she had to demean her to come to him. He sighed softly: "I'm sorry."
Qin Qing's delicate body trembled, and she took two hard breaths, as if trying to suppress the fluctuating emotions, and said surprisingly calmly: "Xiang Shaolong, Qin Qing came to visit today to clarify something with you.
.”
Xiang Shaolong wanted to grab her shoulders and pull her into his arms, but Qin Qing's aloof beauty always had the aura of being repulsive to others, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.
He sighed again and said: "If it's just something that goes against your heart, don't say it. I won't lie to myself anymore, but I hope Taifu Qin will learn more from my good example, ha."
Qin Qing turned her delicate body, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and she said angrily: "When did Qin Qing say anything against her heart?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that after this misunderstanding, the relationship between the two had become much closer. However, because Qin Qing had been a widow for a long time, it was difficult for her both mentally and physically to accept the offense of "excessive". He stopped and said: "That's best, now.
Yanran and I are going to the palace to meet the crown prince, will Taifu Qin go with us?"
Qin Qing forgot about her own affairs and asked in surprise: "What kind of work does our talented girl have to do?"
Ji Yanran arrived in her best clothes, and the three of them got into the carriage and entered the palace while chatting.
In Xiaopan's room, several of the most important people in Xiaopan's power group gathered: Xiang Shaolong, Li Si, Changping Jun, Wang Ling and Qinqing. Together with Xiaopan, they listened to the detailed description of Ji Cainv who had obtained Zou Yan's true biography.
The Five Virtues come to an end.
Ji Yanran sat on the seat on the right side of Xiaopan, and with her usual free and easy demeanor, she spoke to everyone: "The five virtues are transferred, and each treatment has its own suitability, and the talisman should be like a god. Therefore, those who can unify the world must obtain
Only one of the five elements of virtue can be achieved. The five virtues are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each virtue will decline after a certain period of time, and another virtue will rise in its place. The Yellow Emperor obtained the virtue of earth, and then the virtue of wood overcomes earth. Therefore,
Xia Yu obtained the virtue of wood; metal conquered wood, Shang Tang obtained the virtue of gold; fire conquered metal, and King Wen of Zhou obtained the virtue of fire; now that the Zhou Dynasty is declining, the virtue that takes advantage of the opportunity should be the virtue of water, which overcomes fire."
Xiaopan's eyes flashed strangely when he heard this, and he muttered: "Water overcomes fire, water overcomes fire."
Wang Ling was cautious by nature and said: "I know that the Zou family is scholarly about heaven and man, but it is just a family statement. I don't know if there is any basis for it?"
Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes were dancing, and all the men in the room, including Xiao Pan and Xiang Shaolong, were intoxicated.
He said calmly and calmly: "The theory of the Five Elements has long been seen in [Shang]; the so-called water sun moistens the lower part, the fire sun scorches the upper part, the wood sun makes music and declares, the metal sun follows the leather, and the earth joins the crops and the lofts. This has been true since ancient times."
It is said that "there are six qi in the sky, and five flavors are born". The five flavors are gold, pungent, wood, water, salty, fire, bitter, and earth, sweet. Therefore, the sound is Pi, which is Jiao, Zheng, Gong, Shang, and Yu;
The taste is sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, and salty; the color is green, red, yellow, white, and black, all of which are coordinated by the five elements, creating mutual support and endless circulation."
Qin Qing, who was sitting next to her, joined in: "Mencius also said: "There must be a king in the five hundred oceans. From Yao to Yang, it was more than five hundred years old. From Tang to King Wen, it was more than five hundred years old. From King Wen to Confucius, it was five hundred years.
Being more than a hundred years old is exactly the phenomenon of the alternation of the five virtues."
Li Si said: "Confucius is only a wise man at best. As for the person who is qualified to be king, I think it is the turn of the crown prince."
Xiaopan was overjoyed, but a little worried that he was not the "new saint". He frowned and said: "Who is the king that Mencius said was born every five hundred years? It's just empty talk. How can we use it to attack Lu Buwei?"
Fallacy?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Of course it depends on the propaganda method and the authority of Mr. Zou, the talented godfather. Who is more qualified than Mr. Zou to judge who is the new saint? If others are not convinced, then others will not be convinced." He paused and looked solemn.
Said: "We will use these five virtues to explain the beginning, and at the same time, we will ask Mr. Li to draft a new official system for the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, so that we can reorganize the government and prevent Lu Buwei from running unscrupulously."
Ji Yanran smiled and said: "This is called using the son's spear and attacking the son's shield, because (Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals) adopted the words of various schools, including the five virtues of the godfather, including the end and beginning, and [should be the same]
] Chapter records that "When emperors and kings are about to rise, Heaven will first see the good fortune of the people. During the time of the Yellow Emperor, Heaven first saw the concubine and the big mole. The Yellow Emperor said: "The earthy air is the best." The earthy air is the best, so its color is beautiful.
Huang, when it happens, earth will change, etc. He also said, "The person who replaces fire must use water, and the sky will see the victory of water vapor beforehand. The water vapor will prevail, so its color is still black, and the matter will be water. There is no reason why we only need to borrow Lu Buwei Hongyang
[Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals] only adopted his theory of the Five Virtues, and clearly praised and actually criticized, so Lu Buwei had no choice but to understand the suffering himself."
Xiao Pan exclaimed: "This will be easy to handle."
There are still reservations in the royal mausoleum, and there are doubts about the relics: "Didn't Ji Cainu just say that when the five virtues are transferred, when a new saint is born, there must be signs of auspicious signs. For example, the Yellow Emperor saw a giant mole, and King Wen saw a red bird holding a pill in the Zhoushe. If
If the prince does not receive Fu Rui, I am afraid he still cannot be convinced by the people today."
Xiang Shaolong comes from the 21st century and is most aware of this type of propaganda and methods of fooling the people. He secretly thought about the uprising of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty killing the White Snake. Frankly speaking, it was just this kind of method. He had an idea and said: "This matter is extremely easy. As long as the crown prince
When we went to a certain river to offer sacrifices, we made a black dragon that could writhe on the river, like the Neers Lake Monster... Hey, it's nothing. As long as the back is slightly exposed, we can call it Fu Rui. All these unreasonable things
"Everyone has support."
Changping Jun frowned and said, "This is easy to say, but if someone exposes it, wouldn't it be a big joke?"
Xiang Shaolong thought of Zhou Wei's brother Zhou Liang, an expert in shipbuilding, and Ji Yanran's group of skilled craftsmen from the Yue Kingdom. He smiled and said, "I'll take care of this matter. As long as the black dragon makes a few moves, it will disappear quickly, and we will
It's done, I guarantee no one can see through it."
Xiaopan smiled brightly and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Master." He turned to Ji Yanran and said, "If you want to achieve the virtue of water, you must have rituals and cooperation in all aspects. Please ask a talented woman to draw up a plan for you so that it can be executed well.
"Yes." Xuan Yourong said solemnly: "Only those present at the meeting today are aware of this matter. If I feel that anyone has leaked the information, I will definitely investigate and will not forgive you."
Everyone obeyed the decree.
Xiang Shaolong felt ridiculous again, and he never expected that his fight with Lu Buwei would turn into propaganda. This could be said to be another psychological and spiritual battle.
