Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

On the top floor of Zuimeng Tower, in Mi Lian's room, Mi Lian and Hua Ying were sitting side by side, looking at the bronze mirror on the wooden table while dressing up.

They used eyebrow pencils to draw thin eyebrows and gently applied rouge on their faces to make their facial features look more three-dimensional.

Mi Lian and Hua Ying both tied their hair up high, inserted hairpins made of jade, and changed into gorgeous long skirts that exposed their snow-white shoulders.

Standing behind Mi Lian, Ji Bu looked at the beautiful and charming Mi Lian, especially her elegant and gentle temperament, which made him swallow his saliva subconsciously.

But the next moment, Ji Bu felt his heart aching.

Mi Lian dressed up like this not for him, but to meet another man, and she would be in the arms of that man tonight.

The most important thing is that the man that the princess wants to commit herself to is their biggest enemy, the culprit who destroyed the State of Chu, the one who cut off the head of the King of Chu and hung it on the city gate for public display.

Ji Bu has never hated himself as much as he does now.

He recalled what he had done in the past few years. Except for helping Zhu, the head of Shennong Hall of the Nong family, to do some trivial things, he seemed to have done nothing.

It is no wonder that the lady looked down on him at all. He was really an incompetent waste. He could neither avenge the king nor have any idea how to restore the country.

Even facing the behemoth of the State of Qin, all he could do was to flee and hide in a panic, so that the princess he was supposed to protect could only be left in the dust.

'Your Majesty, I am sorry for the last task you gave me. ’

Ji Bu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He didn’t feel anything even when his nails pierced into the flesh of his palms and blood flowed out.

Mi Lian, who was looking at her beautiful face in the bronze mirror, said, “Sister Huaying, this makeup is still a little light. Please make it heavier for me.”

Mi Lian had a delicate oval face with beautiful features. She rarely wore heavy makeup because it would only destroy her beauty.

But today, Mi Lian knew that she had to put on the makeup she hated the most because the person she was going to meet today was not Princess Weiyang, but the cousin who had once made her heart flutter.

‘If it was me eight years ago, I would be so happy that I would jump up at this time. ’

Mi Lian thought so, biting her lower lip lightly, looking dazed, as if she had returned to her innocent childhood.

At that time, she had imagined that one day she would wear a black and red wedding dress, shyly stand in front of the ancestral tablets, and marry the man she loved deeply.

But that was just a fantasy after all, because Mi Lian knew that even if her father had not betrayed the Qin State, she would never have that day.

Because the man she once loved had already been married.

If that were the caseIf she hadn't, she would have buried this feeling deep in her heart, and recalled it in her old age and laughed it off.

But fate played a joke on her. The man she once loved killed her biological father.

Even if it was her father's own fault for betraying the Qin State, he was still her father, the father who raised her and gave birth to her and treated her very well.

Especially because the man cut off her father's head and hung it on the top of the city wall, so that her father could not rest in peace until his death, and his body was incomplete.

In addition to her father, her mother who loved her also chose to commit suicide in front of the Qin soldiers, and her younger sister who had not grown up yet also disappeared.

With her younger sister's age and the war situation at that time, she was already in danger.

She was truly a broken family. In this case, how could she dare to still have a yearning for that man?

Just when Mi Lian was in a trance, Hua Ying had already re-dressed her.

Looking at Mi Lian's confused eyes, Hua Ying also felt a pang of heartache.

The princess, who was worth a lot of money, ended up in such a situation. The drastic change in her fate was really a joke of God.

Ji Bu saw Mi Lian's eyes in the bronze mirror and thought she was afraid. Ji Bu couldn't help but said: "Sister, your martial arts are not weak. If you can get close to King Yong, can you..."

Hua Ying understood what Ji Bu meant. He wanted her to assassinate King Yong by his pillow.

Men always lose their vigilance at the peak moment. That is indeed the best time to assassinate.

But Huaying shook her head and said, "Ji Bu, you should know that King Yong is good at martial arts. Rumor has it that his martial arts skills are not low."

"Although King Yong's martial arts skills may have declined after so many years of pampering, I am not a top master in the world."

"As for carrying a murder weapon, it will be more difficult. Luowang will definitely search for me and Mi Lian and will not let us come to King Yong with any possible murder weapon."

"Besides, even if I can assassinate King Yong, I will not do it."

Ji Bu certainly knew why his sister would not do it. It was not because his sister was afraid of death, but if King Yong died, it would be disadvantageous to them who were against Qin.

Tian Guang, the chivalrous leader of the farmer's family, once told them that this was the last plan left by King Chu before his death.

The King of Chu once told Tian Guang that the King of Yong would never be willing to be under someone unless that person was the First Emperor. Only the First Emperor would make him willing to bow down to him.

But if the First Emperor died, it would be difficult for the King of Yong to be loyal to the Second Emperor, and he and the Second Emperor of Qin would inevitably have a deep conflict.

0 .. ...

Even if he was willing to continue to serve the Second Emperor of Qin, the King of Chu had already reserved a last resort.

The Second Emperor of Qin was very likely toThe fate of the king of Chu would fall on Fusu, who was a native of Chu, and his teachers were also native of Chu.

Even though Fusu was gentle and would not oppose his uncle, the people around him would not obey him.

Fusu was not the first emperor after all. He had no ability to control the overall situation and would inevitably be coerced by his own ministers and stand on the opposite side of King Yong.

At that time, King Yong and Emperor Ershi of the empire would become enemies, and the entire empire would fall apart in the confrontation between the two.

So the task that the king of Chu gave to Tian Guang before his death was to ask him to find all the forces that were willing to fight against Qin and tell them to wait quietly.

When the first emperor died and the Qin State fought among itself, then everyone could raise the banner of rebellion at the same time and completely overthrow the tyrannical Qin.

And this whole set of plans was called the "Qinglong Plan" by the king of Chu.

As a direct descendant of the former king of Chu, Ji Bu also knew about this plan.

So he understood that even if he really had the chance to kill King Yong, he must not do it, otherwise he would destroy the King of Chu and the entire anti-Qin forces' plan.

But watching his beloved woman fall into the arms of another man, and even have to follow his sister to offer his first time, Ji Bu now has only one feeling, that is pain, too much pain, pain that penetrates the soul! Three.
