Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and it has come to the ninth year of King Qin's administration.

In the past few months, Ying Wei's life has been quite simple.

Every day when I have free time, I either go to chat with Brother Zheng, or I go to Ganquan Palace to coax Zhao Ji. The rest of the time is spent with Jing Salamander, traveling around mountains and rivers every day, having fun, and having fun.

No matter how you look at it, Ying Wei is the kind of lord who only knows how to have fun, which is common in the Seven Kingdoms. He doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

But even so, neither Lu Buwei nor Changping Lord dared to underestimate Chang'an Lord. On the contrary, his behavior of never holding office and not taking over anything in Qin made this old fox tick.

As a person without any official position in the Qin State, Ying Wei could not theoretically participate in the court meeting.

But he happened to be the highest-ranking monarch in the Qin Kingdom. With this status, he could also participate in the court.

In the court, Ying Wei never spoke a word, strictly abiding by his status as an unofficial white servant, and resolutely not discussing national affairs.

Even if Lu Buwei took the initiative to bring the topic to him, Ying Wei would use it as an excuse to remain silent.

Above the court, Ying Wei also saw how miserable Brother Zheng was.

Because he has not yet been crowned and cannot personally govern, any policies of Yingzheng need to be reviewed by Lu Buwei.

If Lu Buwei disagrees, then the matter can only be shelved. Moreover, even if Lu Buwei does not use the reason that Ying Zheng has not been crowned, he can still bring many important officials to stop it.

If Ying Zheng strongly demands that it be done in his way, then there must be some important officials in the court who will, under Lu Buwei's instructions, state the pros and cons in a righteous manner and tell how low the feasibility of this matter is, hoping that the king will take back his order. So much.

If Ying Zheng still ignores you and asks your subordinates to do something, then your subordinates will be obedient and will not do anything that can be done for you.

This made it impossible for Ying Zheng to punish his ministers even if he wanted to. After all, before he asked, these ministers had already said that it was not feasible and that failure was also your problem, the king.

After Ying Zheng tested it out, and Lu Buwei used Tai Chi to push his hands and put all the blame on Ying Zheng himself, Brother 470 Zheng immediately stopped and gave up on his own.

Because Ying Zheng knew clearly that if every policy issued by him as the King of Qin would be a failure, it would inevitably affect his imperial dignity and alienate his ministers.

There is a saying in politics that if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes, and if you do less, it will be better. This saying is equally applicable to the King of Qin.

Therefore, Ying Zheng could only adhere to the concept of not doing well, obey Lu Buwei's requirements in everything, and be a yes man.

If Ying Zheng takes charge, he can still find excuses to use his status as King of Qin to cut off Lu Buwei's wings little by little.

It's just that he doesn't have the power to do these things without being in charge, and can only leave it to Lu Buwei's control.

After every court meeting, Ying Wei felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when he saw Brother Zheng looking at him with resentful eyes.

That look in my eyes made it look like I was giving Brother Zheng your mother to X, but I promise, I really haven’t done anything yet!

However, Ying Zheng is obviously used to this kind of situation. It's hard to get used to it. After all, he has been like this for nine years. If he is not used to it, he will go crazy.

Only occasionally, Ying Zheng would ask Ying Wei how his plan was going, but every time Ying Wei would use"quickly" as a prevarication.

But Ying Wei is indeed waiting for that opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Chang'an Jun's Mansion -

Within a few months, Ying Wei also cleaned his mansion in Xianyang.

Living in Xianyang Palace was still too troublesome after all, so after changing all the people in the mansion, Ying Wei moved out of Xianyang Palace and returned to his own mansion in Xianyang.

Lu Buwei would not do something stupid like assassination in Xianyang. In addition, his mansion is now guarded by the palace imperial army, so there will be no danger again.

Xianyang is divided into the North District and the South District. The North District is where the Qin Dynasty's dignitaries gather. As a feudal lord, Ying Wei's residence is not far from Xianyang Palace.

Therefore, even though he moved outside, it wouldn't take long to get to Xianyang Palace, especially since Ying Wei was coaxing Zhao Ji to be happy now. Even if he didn't want to go to Xianyang Palace, Zhao Ji would send someone to find him.

This made Ying Wei feel that she had simply become a social beast at work again, but now her job was to be a man's favorite.

Ying Wei has won Zhao Ji's favor, and Brother Zheng is very happy to hear about it.

Zhao Ji is his mother after all. If possible, Ying Zheng certainly doesn't want to have such a tense relationship with his mother.

His own personality made it difficult for him to coax Zhao Ji. Since Ying failed to coax her, he naturally let Ying Wei go.

If the relationship with Zhao Ji is well established, it will be much easier for him to be crowned and govern in the future.

Today, as usual, Ying Wei called for musicians and dancers to play music and dance for him in the lobby of the mansion.

There is really no entertainment in this era. Listening to songs and watching dances is really the greatest entertainment.

Although these musicians and dancers are not famous in the world, they are still court dancers trained by the Shaofu, and are far above the average level.

Just as Ying Wei was lying on his side, eating fruit and listening to music, he noticed a beautiful figure walking from behind the screen on the side.

Seeing this, Ying Wei clapped his hands and signaled the musicians and dancers to stop and let them retreat.

The musicians and dancers put away their instruments, bowed in salute, and then filed out, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Ying Wei then looked at Jing Salamander and said with a smile:"……Amazing Salamander, you are not taking a nap, why are you up?"

With that said, Ying Wei stood up, came to Jing Salamander's side, and gently caressed her swollen belly.

In a few months, Jing Salamander's belly had become very big. She was pregnant in ten months and almost three months later. The child is about to be born

"When I heard that the young master did not go to the palace today, I came to accompany the young master."

Jing Salamander said softly and affectionately. She leaned her head on Ying Wei's shoulder and touched her belly gently and tenderly.

Now she doesn't look like a ruthless killer. No matter how she looks, she looks like A beautiful woman rejoicing over the birth of her child

"I don’t hold any official position, so I only go to the palace to chat with Brother Wang and the Queen Mother. I don’t have to go there every day."

"You'd better rest more and don't hurt the baby in your belly."

Ying Wei sat down, stroking the frightened salamander (acej), and said warmly.

"With my internal martial arts skills, my child will not be harmed in any way, sir, but please don’t worry."

As the belly grows heavier, Jingyu's motherly love becomes more and more abundant, and at the same time, she becomes more and more attached to Ying Wei, who looks no different from some ordinary women.

Well, you are the master and you have the final say...

Ying Wei murmured in his mind, thinking that the Jing Salamander in the original work could kill a bunch of killers before giving birth, so he really didn’t have to worry too much.

However, the children born by the Jing Salamander in the original work were also weak and sickly due to fetal gas..

But now Jing Salad is the concubine of his Lord Chang'an, so she has someone to take care of her from morning to night, and the imperial doctor often comes for consultations. Coupled with Jing Sala's martial arts, Ying Wei is not worried about the child's health.

In this era, giving birth to a child is a life-and-death experience. Only a master like Jing Salamander can make Ying Wei feel at ease.

At this moment, a servant reported:"……Your Majesty, there is someone outside the house asking to see you."

Ying Wei, who was chatting with the frightened salamander, frowned and said impatiently:"……Didn't I say that I would not see anyone else unless they were Lu Xiangbang or Chang Pingjun."

As a feudal lord of the Qin State, when I return to the Qin State, there will naturally be countless Qin State officials who want to pay homage to the mountain. In addition, there are some self-proclaimed talented people who hope to come to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion to serve as a guest and staff..

In this era, almost every high-ranking official like a lord or a prime minister is like this. There are many people under his sect, hoping to become an official through the recommendation of the lord. Being an official is really the biggest wish of everyone from ancient times to the present.

The servant quickly said:"……Returning to the king, the person who came claimed to be the king's junior brother, named Li Si, from Xiaoshengxian Manor."

As a servant of Lord Chang'an's residence, of course we all know that Lord Chang'an studied in Xiaoshengxian Manor in the past, so we only came to inform him after hearing that Li Si announced his family status.

"Li Si?"

Ying Weileng was stunned for a moment and smiled with interest:"……It seems that he has the answer. Okay, let's bring him over."

"Here!"The servant responded and bowed to leave.

When Jingyu heard Li Si's arrival, she was about to get up and leave, but Ying Wei held her back and said:"……It's not like you haven't met Li Si before, just stay with me here."

Nowadays, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is not popular, and there is no saying that the female family members at home cannot meet guests. It is even normal for nobles to take their concubines to drink and have fun together.

Jing Salamang responded. She had a big belly and could not kneel down. After sitting down, he stood beside Ying Wei and poured him tea and water.

Not long after, under the leadership of his servant, Li Si came to the lobby of the mansion, bowed and said:"……Li Si pays homage to Lord Chang'an!"

Li Si is still wearing the washed white cloth. Although he looks ordinary, his study in Confucianism makes him gentle and has the temperament of a Confucian student.

However, in front of Ying Wei, Li Si is cautious and does not dare to be careless at all.

"Li Si, when did you arrive in Xianyang?"

Looking at Li Si, who was in the dust, Ying Wei asked.

He called him by his name directly, instead of calling him junior brother again. He also wanted to tell Li Si that this is not the Little Sage Village now, and the relationship between us is not between senior brother and junior brother, but between Jun and Jun. The superior and the subordinate

"Li Si arrived in Xianyang yesterday, rested in the guest house, washed and bathed, and came to see the emperor today."

Li Si replied respectfully.

Ying Wei nodded lightly. He was happy for Li Si's arrival. Now Ying Wei has a lot of things to do, but he is suffering from the lack of a suitable candidate.

Either he cannot guarantee his loyalty, or else He just doesn’t know what his subordinates are capable of.

And Li Si still comes to him despite his words, which shows that he will definitely draw a clear line with Lu Buwei, otherwise he will die, which guarantees basic loyalty.

Li Si is also a person Xunzi's disciple, he will become the prime minister of Qin in the future. Even though he is still young now, he is definitely the best among the younger generation, and his ability is naturally not to mention. Now that

Li Si has arrived, Ying Wei can start to take action.

But the first thing Ying Wei asked was:"……Han Feike has returned to China?"

Hearing Ying Wei's question, Li Sileng was stunned for a moment before answering:"……Before Li Si left Xiaoshengxian Manor, the Ninth Young Master had not returned home."

"But from the tone of Ninth Young Master, it can be seen that he is ready to return to the country."

"It took Li Si more than a month to get from Xiaoshengxian Village to Xianyang. He didn't know much about the affairs of Qi State. The Ninth Young Master might have gone back at this time."

Speaking like this, Li Si felt aggrieved. Why did Chang'an Jun mention Han Fei first when he saw him?

The same goes for the teacher. He also liked Han Fei more than Li Si. Although Han Fei was knowledgeable, he was also It doesn’t have to be like this.

I, Li Si, want to cry!.
