Chapter 98: Acting Ridian

Within the palace, there is a pavilion in a garden covering more than ten acres.

There is a stone table in the pavilion, and more than a dozen samurai in black armor and holding halberds and swords are guarding the pavilion.

Several palace people stood dozens of meters away from the pavilion, not daring to move under the scorching sun.

In the pavilion, Qin Shi Huang knelt on the cushion, Li Si knelt on the side, and the two were drinking tea, using Yuzun.

"Sure enough, it's fairy tea, a light goes down to the whole body and is refreshed, and all the boredom of the day is gone!"

Qin Shi Huang has already faded his court clothes at this time, wearing a light yellow shirt, with a jade crown, and his breath is still majestic, but he looks much milder than the image above the court.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, this tea is just a little different from the soup and tea we drink on weekdays, it has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the nerves, eliminating food and conditioning, but it is too much to say that it is a fairy thing!" Li Si put down the teacup and said slowly.

As the prime minister of the empire, it is already common for him to talk about tea with the emperor, and there is not much separation between the monarch and the minister.

And in order to complete his lifelong revenge, to make the country stronger with the principles of legalism, it is only natural to dedicate it to the emperor after getting this tube of immortal tea.

Now the court is bustling, and the folk temples are all in a hurry, and only with the support of the emperor can all the laws and regulations be implemented smoothly.

Although it seems that he is now in the left and the power of the government and the opposition, but in fact, many things are not very easy to use as soon as they come out of Xianyang, each family and faction has Fang family warlocks to promote and spread different ideas, and the old and young of the six countries are also secretly dormant, seemingly calm, but in fact they are about to move to restore the foundation of the six countries, the emperor knows, he also knows, and the Manchu Dynasty knows everything about civil and military.

However, the Great Qin world has just stabilized, and it can't make a big move right away.

And it seems that the emperor's ambition is now wearing-off, and the people he gets close to every day are the warlocks of the Yin-Yang Medicine School, who are bewitched by them to find the way to immortality.

Although the manifestations are not particularly obvious now, the signs are getting worse day by day, and the emperor has to swallow a large amount of the so-called elixir every day.

There are emperors who are ambitious inside, and there are Fang family warlocks and the old and young relics of the Six Kingdoms who disturb the people.

Lees felt the pressure.

Getting this tea today, he hoped to impress the emperor and change some of his views on the elixir.

"The prime minister's words are bad, I have been eating medicine for a long time to refine the elixir, there is nothing like this tea to calm the mind and awaken the mind, as you say, this fairy tea is obtained by the disciples of Liezi in Funiu Mountain, I am also convinced, the originator of Taoism, the world known as Lao Tzu Li Er is hidden in Funiu Jingmur Mountain (now Luoyang Laojun Mountain), Lie Yukou is the ancient emperor Lieshan clan, after studying the art of Huang Lao, living in seclusion Zheng Guo to concentrate on cultivation, it is rumored that it can resist the wind and walk has reached the fairy road, its dojo is also near Nanyang, and the disciples of the world are also gathered in Nanyang, They walked in the Funiu Mountains all day long, and it was not surprising that they met the disciples of the Immortal Family, I ...... I'd love to check it out too! ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Li Si was taken aback, if Qin Shi Huang really left the Great Qin Foundation and went to Funiu Mountain to seek immortals, he would not want to complete his lifelong ambition in this life.

"Prime Minister rest assured, I am just talking now, but Qin Chu Chi Dao must be repaired as soon as possible, and tomorrow I will send an edict to send the imperial historian back and forth to inspect the progress of the construction of Chi Dao, and those who slack off must be severely punished!"

"Obey the order!" Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly in his heart, knowing that the emperor said that he was not going, but in fact, he couldn't wait in his heart.

After a few drinks from each other, Li Si left.

"Three cups lead to the avenue, and one pot is natural. But if you have fun in tea, don't pass it on to fools. Qin Shi Huang looked at the crooked two lines of poetry on the bamboo tube and was silent for a long time.

"Could it be that I am really a fool and have no relationship with the Immortal Dao, otherwise why would I never meet a disciple of the Immortal Family when I searched all over the world......

Qin Shi Huang summoned the leader of the forbidden army and ordered: "Quickly arrange someone to go to Nanyang to secretly investigate the movements of Liezi's disciples, but remember not to disturb, once you find that there is immortal tea in the world, you must send it all to Xianyang, and you must not let it go to the people. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Also, to figure out how to make immortal tea, I want to see what is the beauty of the tea-making method taught by the disciples of the immortal family!"

"Yes!"

……

At this time, Chen Xu, who was in Pheasant County, didn't know that he crossed over and flapped his little wings gently, and the so-called immortal tea that the entire Great Qin had concocted for him had begun to stir up.

Because just one day later, the news of the fairy tea spread in Xianyang, and the people in the court were boiling, all asking around what the purple cloud fairy tea was, and many Fang family warlocks or wealthy masters drove their servants to Nanyang County.

Wancheng will soon become the center of the wrestling of various forces.

The 800-kilometer-long Funiu Mountain will also be full of the footprints of various disciples, and countless people will die in the mouths of jackals, tigers and leopards, taking the lead on the road of eternal life, becoming the unjust soul of the pioneers, wooing and lamenting!

"Master Jiang, what did you just say?" Chen Xu raised his head, looked at the parent of Pheasant County, the official county magistrate, Jiang Beiting, with a dull expression, feeling that he had heard what he had just said wrong.

"Chen Xu, I just asked you if you would like to be the pawn of Qinghe Town?" Jiang Beiting repeated it again.

"Ah, for...... Why? Chen Xu heard it clearly this time, and then stammered even more.

"Although you are young, but you are brave and strategic, and proficient in the art of organs, the invention of the threshing machine has also made a great contribution to the harvest of summer grain, and now the Qinghe Town Lidian is mediocre and old is no longer useful, I want to appoint you as the Lidian of Qinghe Town, of course, because you have not yet been naturalized, you can only do the acting position for one year, and after you reach the age of fifteen, I can only be officially appointed to report to the county guard, what do you think?" Jiang Beiting stroked his beard and said with a serious face.

Chen Xu felt a little dizzy.

It's just a surprise that I'm just lazy to invent a hand-cranked thresher of crude benzene, and I'm going to be the mayor of the town.

"Xiao Xu, don't hurry up and thank the county commander!" Uncle Ma next to him was even more like being struck by lightning, and came back to his senses and knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu kowtowed three times in a daze before he came back to his senses, and before Jiang Beiting could say that he was exempt, he got up and patted the dust on his knees.

"I am not a pro-teacher, so I don't need to bow down," Jiang Beiting hurriedly waved his hand, Chen Xu was young after all, and he was a teenager who grew up in the mountains, so he didn't know much about these officialdom etiquette.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Chen Xu was already depressed in his heart, and in his mind, he had kowtowed hundreds of heads to himself with two villains according to Jiangbei Pavilion.

So, in this way, Chen Xu became the canon of Qinghe Town.

Although there was no mandate, he was so excited that he almost fell off his horse, and on the way back, he laughed dementedly.

(Another special note: if you say that the Qin Dynasty does not kneel and salute, check it again, the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty inherited from the Zhou Dynasty, and the formal salute: stand upright, raise your hand and increase your forehead as if bowing, bow 90 degrees, and then straighten up (this section is called bowing), and at the same time the hands are raised again with the eyebrows.) Then land on both knees at the same time, bow down slowly, palms on the ground, forehead on the palms of the hands (this is called prostration), then straighten up the upper body, and at the same time keep the hands in line with the eyebrows (this is called xing) - and then, according to etiquette, bow down or bow again...... When flattening, put your hands together with your eyebrows, get up, and put your hands down when you stand upright. Therefore, kneeling has existed since ancient times, and kneeling has been used on very important occasions in the past, such as sacrificing ancestors, such as worshipping teachers, such as celebrating the birthday of parents and elders, etc., but with the collapse of Zhou rites, these rituals have become very common in the Qin Dynasty, or they have begun to become casual, and kneeling has become no longer so serious and serious. )
