Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity
At this moment, Xu Qingsheng slumped on the ground helplessly, while Xu Qing's face was covered with flour by Long Bing'er and Xiao Ruxue. Long Bing'er playfully put her fingers on Xu Qing's forehead.
Wrote the character "王".
Like a tiger.
Xu Qing really didn't expect that she just pinched Long Bing'er's hand a few times at first, and now she would ruin her hand like this...
A full half an hour!
Do you know what he went through during these half an hour?!
Sure enough, you have to pay back everything you do when you come out to hang out...
The same goes for the little girl. How did she make an oath to each other in the first place?
It was so easy to switch sides with Long Bing'er.
Sure enough, any idea of being a couple for the rest of your life is a lie!
Women are all big pig hooves!
Xu Qing expressed his dissatisfaction with Long Bing'er in his heart, then washed his face and started making mooncakes, not only for Long Bing'er and Xiao Ruxue's two edible little mouths, but also for himself.
Counting the time, I haven’t eaten five-nut mooncakes in a year. I miss them so much!
Xiao Ruxue watched Xu Qing make the mooncakes into pieces of dough and asked impatiently: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, can it be baked?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It's still a little bit worse."
Xiao Ruxue looked at the mooncake that looked like a full moon and asked puzzledly: "It's almost? What's the difference?"
Xu Qing said: "The moon cakes will be stamped with auspicious words, such as flowers, full moon, and forever, but it is a pity that we have not prepared these in advance, so we will make do with it this time."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly thought of something, raised her hand and said: "I brought it, I brought it, I have the seal!"
Xu Qing was surprised and said: "You also brought a seal? What seal? Take it over and have a look."
After Xiao Ruxue agreed, she stood up and returned to her room. She took out a small box from her bag and took out a jade seal.
If you look carefully, you can still see that there are some remaining walnut kernels on the square seal. The little girl must have used this thing to smash walnuts at home.
After Xiao Ruxue washed the seal in her hand, she ran back and covered it with the dough that looked like a full moon, and then raised her hand.
Eight big characters suddenly appeared on the dough: If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever.
Then Xiao Ruxue put the jade seal aside, looked at Xu Qing and Long Bing'er and asked: "Like this? How about it? It's still in seal script!"
Xu Qing couldn't help but swallowed when he saw the eight characters on the moon cake: "Xue'er, when you went out, why did you even bring the national seal with you?"
Even Long Bing'er on the side was slightly startled when he saw these eight words. Then he seemed to remember something and glanced at Xu Qing worriedly.
Even if he can hold the national seal and play with Xueer casually, even if he is given a little more money, is the wise king really willing to get married?
"No, no." Xiao Ruxue quickly shook her head after hearing Xu Qing's words: "This is not the national seal. The national seal is still with the emperor's uncle. When I used the national seal to smash walnuts, it took me a long time to open one.
It was too laborious. Then, in order to make it easier for me to smash walnuts, my father asked someone to find a piece of jadeite and carve a seal like this. Although it is not as gentle and moist as the jade of Yuxi, this seal is really better than the national seal when smashing walnuts.
Used too much!”
Xu Qing: "..."
Long Bing'er: "..."
You can carve the jade seal at will, the little girl and her family are really willful.
Xu Qing suddenly felt that the little girl's seal immediately doubled the value of the mooncake several times. He didn't know if there was a market for selling it at a high price. If so, what kind of business school would he open?
Just take Xiao Ruxue and go for the moon cake.
A mooncake that has been ordained by heaven and is blessed with longevity is definitely of higher quality than a mooncake that is full of flowers and lasts forever.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing and asked: "What does it mean to be ordered by heaven to live forever? Why is this engraved on the national seal?"
Xu Qing said: "Accept the destiny and become the emperor; the people will live longer and the country will be prosperous forever."
Xiao Ruxue frowned and said, "Follow the destiny and become the emperor?"
Xu Qing asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "I don't like the first sentence. I don't want to follow destiny. Didn't you say in the script that my destiny is up to me and not God? The emperor is the son of heaven?"
Long Bing'er on the side couldn't help being surprised when she heard Xiao Ruxue's words. Becoming the emperor is what many people dream of, but Xue'er actually dislikes this title.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Who told you that the emperor is the son of heaven?"
When Xiao Ruxue heard what Xu Qing said, she couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't that what you meant?"
Xu Qing gave an example and said: "Look, throughout the ages, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Mo Tzu, Zhuang Tzu, Han Feizi, you see these are all figures from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and no one has translated '子' here as son, '子' in
At that time and now, it should be an honorific title, not son."
Xiao Ruxue said thoughtfully: "That day, the Son of Heaven will no longer be the Son of Heaven?"
Xu Qing said: "If we understand it according to the meaning of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, the word 'zi' in Tianzi is most likely also an honorific title. If we omit 'zi', there is only one word for 'tian'."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly realized: "So, Tianzi means that the emperor can call himself Tian, and adding 'zi' is just an honorific title?"
Xu Qing said: "I don't think anyone is free and likes to be someone else's son."
Xiao Ruxue asked: "What about being ordered by God? Or do you have to let God control your fate?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "There is another saying that the first word of the national seal carved by the First Emperor is not 'receive' which means "receive", but "give" which means "give", "give orders to heaven", the emperor gives orders to heaven, and
It was not the emperor who accepted the destiny, but the First Emperor's jade seal disappeared in the long river of history. Later, when the emperors of the past dynasties carved the jade seal themselves, they made the mistake, and then it was lower than the sky for no reason..."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly realized it, and then looked at Xu Qing with admiration: "So that's it, you are so powerful and know so much!"
Feeling the adoring gaze of Princess Yongle, Xu Qing's vanity was greatly satisfied, but he seemed to be afraid of teaching the children badly, so he added: "Don't look at me like that. This is just my personal opinion, and it may not be right.
I just think that such a proud person as Qin Shihuang should disdain to say that he has received a mission from heaven. Instead, it would be more grand to grant him a title from heaven."
If you are given a mandate from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life.
The First Emperor told God that this land is now under my control. You'd better do what you have to do honestly for me. The wind will blow when it should blow, and it will rain when it rains, so that the people can be happy.
May you live a long life and may your country be prosperous. If you fail to do so, be careful I’ll beat you up!
