I rely on Qin Shihuang to enshrine the gods

Chapter 107 Going against one’s will

It is the beginning of spring again.

It is in the middle of spring, when the sun rises.

As if they had experienced a disaster, the people of Xianyang were excited and invited their friends and relatives out of the city for an outing. The market also restored its prosperity with officials gathered there.

And because Ba Qing was honored by the King of Qin, he resisted Wancheng.

Xianyang, which has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, suddenly opened a breakthrough.Merchants from six countries came stepping on the greenery, bringing with them countless rare treasures and exotic customs.

Baitao sat on her knees in the hall, spreading out the parchment rolls like a blanket.

She touched it carefully with her fingers.

The brushwork on it is complex and intertwined, one stroke at a time, like a knife and an axe. This is the hand of the raccoon demon who is the best at building canals in the world. He has gathered all his life's learning, talents, insights, and skills into this scroll. superior.

Although the leather scroll is small, his love for the people knows no borders.

This goblin.

She has a smile in her eyes.

Timid and stupid by nature, he lived carefree in Han River for thousands of years without any desire to make progress. However, after being ostracized by South Korea, he dragged his tail and covered his head with a needle-sized courage to come to Qin to absorb the king's energy.

Occasionally, he will change his temper and become brave and thick-skinned.

It can even help her fight against Lao Ai.

It was enough to come to the Qin State without harming anyone's life. He also worked hard for the Qin State to build the canal for many years. For this, he suffered from prison and confinement. He completely forgot about life and death. He did not seek to be enshrined as a god or worshiped in the ancestral temple, nor did he seek to be famous all over the world. respect.

Are you just afraid of seeing the disappointment in mortal eyes?
She raised her head to look at the warm morning sun shining on her body, which was always so hot and bright, and suddenly she remembered when she had visited him in prison.

What he said.

"Hey, you are so obedient. You can obviously escape. If you don't escape, you are willing to be a prisoner."

"Huh? Escape? It's okay here. Besides, I'm used to living a regular life day after day."

Wearing prison uniform, he paused twice, picked up the branch she broke and gnawed, "Hey, hey, hey, as a beaver spirit, of course I can escape, but as a river canal commander, I can't leave. So many people's hard work, They have shed blood and sweat, and their only wish from generation to generation is to have enough to eat, so that future generations will not starve to death. If I leave, what will happen to the canals and the millions of migrant workers?"

As he said this, his eyes turned slightly red, "I can't be sorry to them."

That's how he is, a fairy who abides by the law and has never harmed anyone in his life. He has a persistent brute force and a stupidity that doesn't make sense, but he doesn't have the wildness of a fairy.

She said calmly: "When King Wu defeated Zhou, where were you?"

"King Wu defeated Zhou? That happened so long ago that I don't even remember it. Bah, bah, bah."

He was chewing happily and completely forgetting himself, "I guess I am building a dam, or cutting down trees. I have only done these two things in my life."

She raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "If you helped King Wu build a canal when he was conquering Zhou, you might be on the list of gods, and you would be worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple."

He blinked his thick eyelashes and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as if. Look, I am still living a good life even if I don't become a god. I also met you and Mr. Han. Li Sheng fulfilled."

The cheeks were stuffed and bulging.

A gentle and gentle smile floated on his face with red lips and white teeth.

There is a sense of not caring about the future, only indulging in the happiness in front of you, "Can there still be branches? When I become a god, will there be branches in the sky?"

Unexpectedly, the god that all living beings long for is not worth the fresh and delicious branches in front of a beaver.

It is impossible not to be touched in my heart.

She also smiled and said: "Eat, eat, I will get drunk today if I have wine."

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." The beaver showed its teeth and tore open the bark of the tree.A scent of grass and wood exploded in the room. She sat down and poured herself a pot of tea. As if remembering something, she said, "I once asked you a question before, but your answer was not so satisfactory to me."

"Uh-huh, what's the problem?"

"Now that the weather in Qin is going well, Ba Qing has invested more money to strengthen Qin. Once the canal is built, brother Zheng will definitely sweep away the world, and your Mr. Han will also save Han Wei. If war breaks out, life and death will be at stake."

In the face of his increasingly solemn expression, she still finished her words.

"Should you choose Qin or South Korea? Should you choose Han Feizi or your canals?"

"."

A very long silence.

The branch in his hand was clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again. There was an inexplicable weight on his heart, and he looked at her.

But her face was expressionless, as if she had no expectations or waiting.

It seems calm and has no color at all.

Only the tea cup that was drained in one breath revealed the unstable thoughts.

"Auntie, I choose Qin, I choose the river canal."

His voice was inexplicably filled with a rare perseverance. He opened his mouth and giggled twice, "Actually, I have already made my choice. You see, I, I, I didn't run away."

He walked over and picked up the huge parchment roll. After shaking it open, she saw the dense black lines on it.

"I'm afraid that the person who came to deliver the message won't understand or misunderstand what I mean. Building canals is a big project, and the slightest deviation can cause countless people's bones to be buried in vain."

At this point, he clenched the curled edge and his eyes turned red, "I once saw the Qin people drilling into the mouth of the gourd like pottery figurines and drowning in the sand. When the Qin people went to rescue them, they only had time to fish out a row of figurines. People, they are still holding on to the iron in their hands, and they are determined to eradicate the mountain in front of them and fight for a glimmer of life for future generations."

"Too many people died while building the canal. Their bones were buried in the yellow sand, and solitary graves were dug in the green hills."

"The King of Qin doesn't trust me, but the people of Qin trust me, so I won't let them down."

"So, even for the sake of thousands of Qin people, I can't leave, and the river canal can't be stopped. Even if one day I die, I can at least leave something to guide future generations."

Baitao chuckled lightly, rolled up the roll, and said softly to himself: "Well, deceit is not as good as sincerity, only sincerity can win people's hearts."

Why is Han Fei, who understands the evils of human nature, manages South Korea through magic, and climbs out of an officialdom where everyone is plotting against others?He actually got to know him, a stupid river monster.

If you want to think about it, who is smarter and more intelligent than him?
Why do so many Qin people plead for his life in the Qin State that hates human beings so much?

Not many people even criticize his origin, words and deeds?
If you think about it, those who can benefit Qin better than him can be like a crucian carp crossing the river.

Human heart.

His sincerity has won the hearts of the people.

She let the maids hold the leather scroll, and was about to present it to Brother Zheng. She didn't want to say any words of advice, nor did she talk about the principles of ancient and modern times. She just talked about it on the tea stove, and took this full portion of the child. heart of.

When the mighty team came to a corner, Baitao stopped.I don't know when there was a palace maid standing in front of me. The palace maid was dancing under the eaves.

The green leaves on the eaves fell, and the jade-like plain hands were graceful.

The strange thing is that there was a bunch of purple butterflies perched on her folded hands at that time. The purple butterflies were half-flashing their wings. When the palace maid bent her soft body and moved her hands across the setting sun, the purple butterflies seemed to be flying. As if being guided, it flew onto her hands.

It is so beautiful that it seems to be able to channel the spirit of early spring.

The eunuchs and maids in the back looked at each other in confusion.

Baitao frowned: "You dare to use any trivial skills to show off your skills."

After that, he walked straight ahead without looking.

Not long after she left, there was a man under an eaves wearing a purple robe and a jade pendant at his waist. His cold jaw and calm and narrow eyes looked at the back in front of him for a long time, and sighed: "Queen, please remember Han Fei is the best."

With the book "Han Feizi", he became one of the great talents in the world. He penetrated people's hearts deeply and revealed it vividly, which is amazing.

But despite all his calculations, he failed to realize that Queen Qin had no human heart, only a demon heart.

He thought he was plotting against Zheng Guo, hooking up with Li's eldest daughter, and even reaching into the harem where she was.This smart woman who ascended to the position of queen as an orphan girl of Zhao Kingdom was determined not to give up.

But in fact, Baitao's disdain for vulgar greed and power was beyond his imagination.

Han Fei could not shake her, and he was determined not to deceive the king or challenge Qin's royal rule.

*
Ying Zheng was walking around in the Palace of Administration, wearing a Ruyi cloud-patterned broad robe with long sleeves painted with circular swirling lines.

The monopolized political affairs turned into his ink, and it was the pen in his hand that made the decisions.

After it came to an end, he put down his pen and rubbed Qing Juan's eyebrows, "How long are you going to peek at me?"

"."

On the screen painted with birds and animals, two pointed buns poked out, revealing half of their little faces that were beating with heartbeat, and then retracted, "Huh? I obviously didn't make any noise, how did you know that it was?" I."

Ying Zheng was really amused by her, "I searched all over the Qin Palace, but I couldn't find another person with such courage."

Don't hide it when you see something bad.

Baitao cursed in her heart, not knowing how he had clairvoyant ears.

She walked out coyly, "Okay, I just came here and looked at you. Now I can't even peek at you."

As she spoke, she looked at him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to contain a thousand grievances and sufferings to express.

Ying Zheng also knew that it was always difficult to reason with her. If he talked too much, it would only be his fault. He only said: "It's Gu Gu, right? Taotao just took a look at Gu Gu. How could he be found out so quickly?"

"Hmm, that's right."

He waved, "Come and sit."

Baitao ran over, leaned next to him, and rubbed his arm with her head.

He stroked her head like a disobedient child, "You dressed like this today, did you just leave the palace?"

"correct."

Baitao told the truth, complaining a little, "But it's very troublesome to leave the palace now."

"how?"

"As soon as I go out, I'm being worshiped by people, from left to right, from front to back, wherever I go. Last time I was in the carriage and asked Rui'er to go to Shou Shi Fang to buy a roast chicken for me. This roast chicken is my favorite I used to eat it often, and Rui'er often bought it for me. It was really delicious. Unexpectedly, after I became a queen and ate it once, the folk insisted that it was some kind of chicken that came down from the sky. If you eat it, you can live longer. It's really crazy. Look, all the private inns have posted seven posters with different words, all of which read - Chickens are in danger."

The girl held his arm and chattered, and the scent of her hair penetrated his nose gently.

Ying Zheng curled his lips, and his thoughts that never stopped day and night were interrupted, "Well, from now on, the roast chicken in Shou Shifang can only be given to Gu Taotao."

"It's not good. I'm just greedy. Don't let Shou Shifang lose any business in the future."

Baitao was startled and her eyes widened.

He thought for a while and then said: "Send the order and let the cooks from Shou Shifang enter Changle Palace."

Hearing the footsteps of the guards in the secret door leaving after their orders, Baitao couldn't say anything else.

My heart felt like I was soaking in a honeypot, everything was sweet, and I said, "Brother Zheng, can I show you something?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, as if he already knew what she was talking about.

Six palace maids filed in and displayed the parchment scroll by its corners. The dense lines on it were enough to reveal the painter's intentions.

He walked over, pressed his fingers on the scroll, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Is this painted by Zheng Guo?"

"Yes."

"What do you mean by Taotao?"

"No intention." The girl put her paws on her knees, very obediently, "It all depends on Brother Zheng."

"Do you think Gu doesn't believe him?"

The girl said nothing and tilted her head to look at him.

"Once you start building a canal, you will never fail."

The expression on Ying Zheng's face was dull, as if something darker than darkness was surging in his body.

"It's just that this involves the secrets and remaining potential of the former prime minister's country. It is as intricate as weeds. Every decision is like holding the reins to control a herd of wild horses. If you train the wild horse, the wild horse will also train you. The only way is to remain calm. , first go against people's hearts, then follow human nature, and finally cut off their claws and break their disobedient bones. Taotao, you have only seen through three points of the temple's scheming."

Bai Tao raised her face.

Seeing his mountain-like tall figure walking towards him, Ying Zheng turned and hugged her from behind, pressing his hot chest against hers.

He lowered his head and kissed her eyelashes and earlobes gently, sliding down to her cheeks and then to her lips.

sucked.

He held her plain hand and slowly wrote the word "yu" on the bamboo slip.

"It's okay. From now on, these orphans will teach Taotao."
