Chapter 512 "Yu'er, Don't Cry"

Guanzhong, Xianyang City.

"Everyone, do it."

"please."

"Finally, I can drink to my heart's content. What a wonderful day!"

……

The mist of early winter filled the capital of the Qin Dynasty under the light of the morning sun. In a street restaurant, four or five old Qin people in cotton clothes gathered together, drinking happily and excited about the good life now. Once upon a time, the law of Shang Yang stipulated that ordinary people could only drink on special days.

On the one hand, drinking will naturally cause delays and be bad for your health; on the other hand, we should save food as much as possible.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the country, Zheng Ge ordered Han Fei, Li Si and others to revise the Qin Law, abolishing or revising many overly harsh policies. Nowadays, most of the old Qin people living in the northwest like to drink because of the cold weather. As long as they have money in their pockets and no important tasks, they can drink freely.

After drinking the strong liquor made from sorghum, the faces of these old Qin people, who were all around 30 years old and had participated in the Qin's war of unification, flushed.

"Brothers," the leader said to several friends who had known each other for many years after he had calmed down his drunken streak, "More than a year ago, His Majesty sent the eldest son to Linzi to take charge of the Jixia Academy, and sent the fourth son, Wushuang Jun, to suppress the Mohist rebellion. With the cooperation of the two sons, the Mohist and Nong family rebellions suffered heavy losses, and His Majesty's Fengshan at Mount Tai went very smoothly."

"From now on, I wonder if those rebels dare to jump out again?"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Under the rule of the empire, the common people no longer have to live in uncertainty. Isn't that good?"

"Alas! The rebellion outside the empire has been almost eliminated, but within the empire, the position of crown prince..."

…………

As veterans who had participated in the war to unify the world, these people had deep feelings for the empire. So much so that, although they did not participate in the battles to suppress the rebellion of the Nong family and the Mohist school, they were still very excited when talking about these battles that consolidated the foundation of the empire. When talking about the successor of the empire, worries emerged on their faces.

Brush and pull!

As luck would have it, Fusu, dressed in a snow-white robe and handsome in appearance, walked along the street with several of his personal followers after leaving the court. The door of the hotel was open, and it was a winter morning, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a cold wind like a knife. Most people would never want to leave their warm beds at this time.

Fusu, who was walking on the street, happened to hear these bold words brought by the cold wind. As the person involved, Fusu's handsome and resolute face remained calm, but the faces of the people following Fusu changed.

"Master, do you want me to teach them a lesson?"

Someone came up behind Fusu and asked in a low voice.

"No need." Fusu said indifferently, "Our Great Qin does not prohibit speech. Besides, what these people said is nothing, why bother to pursue it."

"Yes." "By the way," after leaving the court, Fusu had no intention of rushing home, and deliberately walked on the street. After walking for a while, Fusu remembered something and said to the person behind him, "I heard that in the Ministry of Works, Mr. Gongshu developed a tool that can run on the ground and carry a hundred kilograms?"

"My Lord, it is true. I heard that once this mechanical vehicle is successfully developed, it can move on the ground just by pushing with the legs. This mechanical vehicle is a test product of Mr. Gongshu's integration of non-offensive mechanical technology and domineering mechanical technology!"

"is it?"

When the confidant answered Fusu's words, his words implied some worry. This was because, with the decline of the Agricultural School and Mohist School, the two schools of thought with the largest number of people, and the fact that the Confucianist Xunzi and the strategist Guiguzi successively became the chief priests of the imperial official school, the Jixia Academy, even if there were still remnants of the Six Kingdoms, in the eyes of most people, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms would not be able to become a force to be reckoned with.

As a result, the struggle within the empire over the position of crown prince became increasingly fierce!
In the eyes of these Fusu confidants, the meritorious Fourth Prince, Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi, is undoubtedly the biggest rival of their eldest son! Correspondingly, Xiao He, Han Xin, Chen Ping, who were promoted and cultivated by Tianxuan, and even Zhang Liang, who was recommended by Tianxuan not long ago and entered the imperial officialdom, probably think so too.

Faced with the worried words of his confidant, Fusu didn't care and just smiled lightly.

"Fourth brother hasn't changed at all, his head is full of strange ideas."

[It is true that my fourth brother and I both want the throne of the empire. But before we start fighting, we need to solve one last little problem!]

Fusu caught a glimpse of the worry on the face of his confidant behind him and added silently in his heart.

………………

"Wow wow wow!"

Tianxuan Temple.

Among the civil and military officials of the empire, there are many who come from different schools of thought. Because they were taught by different schools, many of the civil and military officials in the empire often do things that others think are weird and abnormal. Among the many weirdos in the imperial court, even if Tianxuan is not the first, he can be in the top three.

As a Taoist disciple, Tianxuan decorated his residence in the style of a Taoist temple after he was appointed as an official. There was nothing strange about this. He did not hang a plaque with the words "Tianfu" or "Tianzhai" at the beginning because his surname was too strange and hanging such a plaque would inevitably be suspected of usurpation.

However, after being awarded the title of Wushuang Jun and even having his true origins discovered by Zheng Ge and being given a new name: Ying Tianxuan, Tianxuan still did not take down the plaque of Tianxuan Temple, and lived without any scruples in the Taoist temple that enshrined Taoist Ancestor Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones.

Under the rising sun, loud and inexplicable howling sounded in Tianxuan Temple, and it seemed to tear the sky apart.

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

"Don't cry, Yu'er. Mom will hold you. Don't pay attention to your dad!"

In the backyard, Tianxuan and his wives and concubines enjoyed a light and delicious breakfast. A delicate and beautiful girl, whose facial features were very similar to Tianxuan's, was held in Tianxuan's arms, as attractive as a porcelain doll. However, it was not known whether Tianxuan's murderous aura stimulated the little guy in his arms, or whether his hands were used to hold women too many times, and he was a little confused about holding a child.

As a result, the little thing cried loudly as soon as it fell into Tianxuan's arms. Next to her, wearing a light and elegant dress, with her long black hair tied up, indicating her status as a married woman, her appearance was no less beautiful than that of a young girl. Seeing her son crying loudly in Tianxuan's arms, her beautiful face was full of heartache, and she stretched out her hands to take the little thing from Tianxuan's arms.

As expected, the little guy stopped crying immediately after he was in his mother's arms. After comforting her son, Nong Yu raised her almond-shaped eyes and rolled her eyes at Tian Xuan in annoyance.
