Chapter 241 Qin III succeeds to the throne, the task is completed 【Subscription】

Time flies, nearly a hundred years have passed.

The time came to the 120th year of the First Emperor.

The imperial city of Xianyang is no longer what it used to be, and has become the most holy city in the world.

On this day, the wind is sunny and the sky is clear.

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

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

Among the pavilions and pavilions, various rare ancient trees such as pines and cypresses are planted, and they are also dotted with vibrant green bamboos and strangely shaped stones.

Those strange rocks may be stacked together to form a rockery, which is craggy and magnificent;
Some are like ganoderma, some are like elephants, some are like monkeys, and some are like fairies.
Ying Zheng sat in the Ten Thousand Spring Pavilion admiring the flowers, surrounded by Yingying and Yanyan, and all the concubines in the harem.

Lu Susu sat beside Ying Zheng, feeding him some fruits from time to time, appearing extremely intimate.

The passage of time did not leave too many marks on Lu Susu's face, it just washed away the greenness on her face and added some grace and wealth.

Ying Zheng held a copy of the Daqin Daily and looked at it carefully, eating the fruit fed by Concubine Lu Gui from time to time, which was quite pleasant.

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

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

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

It stands to reason that the life expectancy of men in today's era is generally 60 to [-] years old, and the longest lifespan is only in their seventies.

Yi Xiaochuan was able to live to nearly a hundred years old, which is also a great fortune.

"Oh? I see."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression remained the same, and he replied in a neutral tone.

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

If Yi Xiaochuan hadn't received the energy baptism in the tiger-shaped pendant, he definitely wouldn't have lived 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 emperor may be busy dealing with state affairs, so he didn't have time to greet the master."

Lu Susu explained to her son: "Why, what orders does the master have?"

"Look here!"

Ying Zheng pointed to the records in the newspaper and said: "A few days ago, my Great Qin conquered Africa, which is thousands of miles away, and the emperor decreed that those dark-skinned natives should be included as citizens. Isn't that nonsense? Daqin, how can you let the black ghost mess up his blood?"

"If I want to see it, they should be demoted to inferior slaves. They can only be cattle and horses for the rest of their lives, and dedicate their lives to the prosperity of my Great Qin."

"It seems that Huang'er was brainwashed by those Confucianists, so he became arrogant and forgot my teachings."

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

The current emperor is the No.30 eighth son of Yingzheng, 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 Yingzheng retired at the age of 120, the 38th son Ying Licheng was a suitable successor, and Yingzheng made him emperor for Qin II.

It's just that Qin II was already in his 40s when he became emperor. He was educated in Confucianism in his early years, and his thinking has been fixed, which is extremely difficult to change.

Therefore, seeing Qin II's so-called benevolent government, Ying Zheng was not angry.

"My lord calmed down and ruled the country with Legalism and Confucianism as an assistant, but what's wrong with the national policy you personally set?"

Lu Susu rolled his eyes at him, and helped his son speak: "After Cheng'er ascended the throne, he has now planted our Daqin's Black Water Dragon Banner in every corner of the world. Isn't he competent enough as an emperor? Even if he is not a wise emperor through the ages, But it can also be regarded as the king of success, right?"

"Besides, my Great Qin has been fighting for years and has included all the territories of the world in my Great Qin. Now it is time to recuperate and give the people of the world a breath of air."

"Accommodating those natives as citizens can be regarded as a way of life for the lower class. There is no need to beat them to death with a stick, so as not to arouse public anger and cause more incidents for nothing."

"Of course, having said that, but what Feizhou is tens of thousands of miles away from my Great Qin mainland, even if they are both citizens, how do the natives there compare with our local citizens in terms of treatment and welfare? "

"So, as a concubine, you don't have to worry about this matter, Master, Cheng'er will always take care of it."

"Besides, Cheng'er is 56 years old this year. His hair and beard are white. He is considered to be a man of destiny. You have to save him some face and stop scolding him like before."

There are several Qin Shihuangs in the world, how can the successor be compared with him?
Qin II has only been on the throne for 11 years, and he has included all the territories of the world in the category of Great Qin, which is worthy of the name of Qin II.

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 department, 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 suitable for governing a country, a ruler should not be trapped by the so-called benevolence and righteousness, which is used to manage the people and restrain the people, not for the king to restrain himself. "

"When I changed the national policy and let the Confucians participate in the court of the Great Qin, it was also because the Great Qin was on the verge of collapse at that time, and the legalist rule of the country was too harsh. Just after the crisis, I pulled the Confucianists into the chariot. Ease domestic conflicts and let it play a mediating role.”

"Cheng'er's head has been damaged by reading, and he has been deeply affected by the poison of Confucianism. He even changed his thinking from a high-ranking person to a low-ranking one. He is so stupid!"

Hearing Lu Susu speak for his son, Ying Zheng said with a dismissive sneer.

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

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

But what is really useful to the rulers must be the Legalists, who govern the world with the upright Legalist thought.

Confucianism is used to imprison the people's thoughts, and legalism is used to regulate the behavior of the people.

In this way, Confucianism and Legalism, two-pronged approach, can make the world stable, and the people can happily accept the fate of being exploited and cut leeks by the ruler.

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

For more details, you can refer to Song Xiangzi Zifu, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, Emperor Liu Shi of the Han and Yuan Dynasties, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunqi, and Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youtang.

Although these emperors were touted by Confucianism as benevolent and righteous monarchs, they managed the world into a mess, and their power was also controlled by Confucianism.

"His Majesty is here!"

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

Immediately afterwards, the mighty team walked into the imperial garden and came to the Wanchun Pavilion.

"I send my respects to my father and mother!"

Qin Er Shi Ying Licheng, who was dressed in a black dragon robe, wore a twelve-pronged crown, and had white hair and beard, stepped off the dragon chariot and bowed in salute.

"The emperor, get up quickly, and sit here with the queen mother."

Lu Susu stood up and waved to the emperor.

"Yes, mother."

Ying Licheng stood up and walked into the pavilion, the concubine next to him quickly gave up his seat.

The mother and son sat together, but they looked extremely inconsistent.

Mother is still Huaxin Nianhua, she seems to be in her twenties at most, and she is in full bloom.

But the son had gray hair all over his head, the wrinkles on his face were crushed to death by mosquitoes, and half of his foot stepped into the coffin.

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

Cultivated to the highest level, you can fly over eaves and walls, jump ten feet, break mountains and rocks, and cut water with a knife, but you can't achieve longevity.

Why doesn't he teach the method of immortal cultivation?

Without him, he just doesn't want to.

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

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

Therefore, after thinking about it, Ying Zheng didn't bother to pass down the immortal way. He just extended the lifespan of the Lu family sisters and kept their youth forever.

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

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

As for the task of collecting plot items such as tiger pendants, elixir of longevity, and mysterious treasure boxes, Ying Zheng had already completed them.

"Emperor, I read in the Daqin Daily that you want the natives of Africa to become our Daqin citizens? Give them the same treatment as Daqin citizens?"

Looking at the old Qin Er Shi, Ying Zheng asked blankly.

"Returning to my father, my son has exactly this intention. I am a big Qin, and I should be tolerant of all peoples of different skin colors, and treat people of different skin colors equally, so as to show my great Qin's benevolence and righteousness!"

Qin Er Shi heard the words, and replied respectfully: "Could it be that Father thinks it's inappropriate?"

"Hey, you can do whatever you like, I don't care about you anymore."

Qin Er Shi's thoughts were almost engraved on his face, so how could he hide it from Ying Zheng.

He took a serious look at his son, and Ying Licheng looked firm, as if he planned to have a good debate with his father.

Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little hopeless, and didn't want to waste his words.

Yes, Queen Mother Lu Susu is right, my son is old enough to have a good life in a few years, so let him torment.

Anyway, the world is still firmly in the hands of Ying Zheng, even if it breaks, it doesn't matter.

At worst, he would overthrow it and start all over again, at most he would just waste some effort.

"Father, my son is going to send the 39th and 43rd brothers to Africa, what do you think?"

Qin Ershi thought that his father would reprimand him again, so he was mentally prepared and was preparing for a long speech.

Unexpectedly, my father just sighed, and there was no further text, as if the matter had been exposed.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and spoke out his previous plan.

"Old 39 and old 43?"

Ying Zheng recalled these two sons, both in their 30s now, and they are the only two of all Ying Zheng's sons who are still alive.

In an instant, Ying Zheng understood his son's plan, which was to kick the two brothers to a remote place, so as not to rob his son of the throne.

After all, in addition to inheriting the father's business from son to son, there is also the law of succession between brother and brother.

It's normal for Ying Licheng to have selfishness. He is already in his fifties, and he can live another ten or twenty years at most.

At that time, if the two younger brothers stay in Xianyang, and their father and mother are both alive, who will the throne pass to?
Old 39 and Old 43 were born to Concubine Lu's Pheasant. In addition, Lu's Pheasant likes power and has taken charge of several key departments.

Therefore, if Qin II dies, it is really hard to say who the throne of Da Qin will be passed on to.

Maybe it will be passed on to Ying Zheng's grandsons, his sons, or it may be passed on to Ying Zheng's sons, his two brothers.

Therefore, taking advantage of his reign and power in his hands, Qin Ershi decided to clear the obstacles for his sons first, and enfeoff the two brothers first.

"It's up to you, I have already abdicated, so I won't interfere in the government anymore."

Regarding Qin Ershi's small calculations, Ying Zheng was too lazy to take care of them and let him toss.

As long as people are selfish, it is understandable.

It is normal for Ying Licheng to want to gather power as the emperor.

For this kind of internal struggle, as long as it is kept within a controllable range, Ying Zheng has always taken a stand-by attitude.

Whether it is his son Ying Licheng, the concubine Lu Zhi, or other sons, he treats them equally.

The capable go up, the mediocre go down.

It's that simple.

"In that case, the minister will leave first."

After receiving Ying Zheng's affirmative reply, Ying Licheng couldn't wait to go back and write the imperial edict, driving the two brothers to a remote place.

The sooner he drives them away, the sooner he will feel at ease.

"Go."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Not long after, Lu Zhi ran over angrily.

"Master, you agreed to the emperor's edict? Drive Li'er and Gong'er to Africa? How can you bear it, they are your sons."

Lu Pheasant knelt down in front of Ying Zheng crying, and cried out with snot and tears.

Like his younger sister Lu Susu, the years have not left any marks on Lu Zhi's face, and he is still youthful.

But Qin II's edict has been signed by the cabinet and the Military Affairs Office, and the order has been issued, and the edict has officially come into force throughout the world.

Lu Zhi, who was kept in the dark, of course refused, and immediately ran to the Imperial Garden to complain.

"Okay, pheasant, you get up first, what do you look like when you are old and crying?"

Ying Zheng motioned to Lu Susu beside her to help her up, and comforted her: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, haven't you understood the truth?"

"However, how poor is Africa? Where the birds don't shit, Li'er and Gong'er have gone, wouldn't they have to suffer?"

Lu Zhi didn't dare to be too presumptuous, hit the snake with the stick, stood up, and begged: "If they become vassals, then the concubine will never see them again."

"The national policy I made at the time was that the capable go up and the mediocre go down. They are not as good as successful in all assessments. Who can be blamed?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said patiently.

When he abdicated, he chose the successor among the three remaining sons and set up various assessments.

Ying Licheng stood out and successfully won the throne. After Ying Li and Ying Gong were defeated, they naturally missed the throne.

The so-called winners and losers, you two brothers are not as capable as others, can you blame others for your failure?
After all, the palm of the hand and the back of the hand are all meat, and all three are sons.

Ying Zheng, the father, must not be partial to anyone.

"But."

Lu Zhi was waiting to say more, but was gently pulled by Lu Susu, signaling her not to say any more.

Having lived with Ying Zheng for nearly a hundred years, Lu Susu is most familiar with Ying Zheng's temper.

It's okay to play petty temper occasionally, but in the face of big right and wrong, it's best to choose to shut up.

"If you miss your son, I will take you to see them in the future."

Seeing this, Ying Zheng said flatly.

"Yes, I obey."

Lu Zhi had no choice but to accept it and stopped making trouble.

Time flies, and another 20 years have passed.

During this period, the sisters of the Lu family passed away one after another, and Shouyuan came to the end.

On this day, Qin II died.

Ying Licheng's ninth son, 23-year-old Ying Boyun succeeded to the throne as Qin III!

【Ding!Your main mission has been completed, do you want to return immediately, or will you be forced to return after twelve hours? 】

On the day Qin Sanshi succeeded to the throne, a long-lost voice sounded in Yingzheng's ear, and the reminder from the chat group was long overdue.
