Volume 1 Burning Chapter 236 Asking for Money
The phrase "under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister" was first written in the "Book of Songs" in ancient times.
Full text of six chapters:
He is in the north of the mountain, and he is proud of his words, and he is engaged in the work of the scholars day and night, and he is worried about my parents.
Under the world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, the doctors are uneven, and I am engaged in the only sage.
Four peony Peng Peng, the king is in the evening, Jia I am not old, fresh our general, the brigade is strong, and the Quartet is managed.
Or swallows dwelling in peace, or doing their best to serve the country, or resting in bed, or not doing well.
Or they don't know how to call the number, or they are miserable and miserable (qรบ) labor, or they are perched up in the middle of their lives, or they are in the hands of the king.
Or they drink in pleasure, or they are miserable, or they are in and out of the wind, or they do nothing.
The meaning of the first chapter is actually the author's resentment that the heavy tolerance is imposed on himself, which brings sorrow to his parents;
In the second chapter, he said that he was also a royal minister, but he worked unevenly, and his own errands were particularly heavy;
Chapter 3: I am glad that I am young and strong, and can still cope with the errand of running in all directions;
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 concretely reveal the fact of uneven work and rest.
This is actually a side description of social inequality, but with the passage of time, or other special directions, in the end, "under the world, it is not the king's land;
It is inevitable to understand from this meaning that it is a little out of context, but this sentence has been sought after by all dynasties, and the emperors themselves have regarded themselves as this sentence, and no one thinks or dares to correct this sentence.
Tacitly, such a law has been formed.

Historical Records
The middle-aged old man in front of him seemed to be very talkative, and he talked with Duke Yu about the rebellion in the northwest!
"The worries of the saints, the worries of the ministers!" said the duke.
Then Duke Yu looked at Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan.
An inexplicable premonition suddenly rose in Li Xiangfeng's heart.
As expected, Duke Yu immediately said: "The minister has planned to arrange for these two to go to the Great Wall of Ice and enter the interior of the Northern Ice Fields to find out!"
When it came to the two place names of "Great Wall of Ice" and "Northern Ice Field", there was also a trace of worry in the Duke's eyes. It seems that these two places are still a symbol of prohibition in the hearts of the people of the Wanqin Empire.
This kind of dangerous thing, in fact, there is no need for Duke Yu to send his own son to go, after all, this trip is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that the bones will not exist if he is not careful.
And with the identity of Duke Yu, he has a lot of strange people, and it is not impossible to even recruit strong people who have already set foot in the Holy Domain.
Not to mention that Emperor Qin, an imperial ruler, was able to be personally received by Emperor Qin, which shows that this matter must not be as simple as imagined.
Li Xiangfeng's expression became solemn, he had thought about this kind of question before, why Duke Yu would arrange for himself and Yu Yan to go to that extremely vicious place. But today, it seems that Emperor Qin also knows about this matter, perhaps Duke Yu and Emperor Qin have already discussed, and this matter must be much more complicated than he thought in his heart.
"Viscount Li, Viscount Yu, do you two have this kind of awareness?" Emperor Qin's face also became serious, and when he looked at Li Xiangfeng, his eyes became arrogant, making people dare not look directly at him.
The majesty of the superior is really something that ordinary people can't learn, and the kind of breath that emerges from the bones is the breath that no actor can perform.
"Obey the dispatch of the emperor and Duke Yu!" Li Xiangfeng replied categorically, making the faces of Duke Yu and the emperor a little relieved.
"Do you know that this matter is very important? If you confide in the outside world, even Duke Yu will not be able to protect your net worth?" Emperor Qin asked again, and each time the tone of the rhetorical question became heavier.
What important things would make him so secret, the matter of the Northwest Rebellion that Duke Yu said should already be known to the world, and Li Xiangfeng has always thought that he went to the Northern Ice Fields to investigate the situation of the Northern Ice Fields for this matter.
To put it simply, will the alien races in the northern ice field take advantage of the emptiness of the "Snow Wolf Legion" to make a big mess and storm the Great Wall of Ice.
If the Great Wall of Ice is lost, I am afraid that the entire Wanqin Empire will also be in danger.
"I don't know!" Li Xiangfeng blurted out without thinking.
What Li Xiangfeng didn't see was that when Li Xiangfeng said the word "I don't know", Duke Yu's tense right hand was taken off his knee, and he gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.
And Emperor Qin's solemn expression became a little soothing at this time.
"So, I don't know what you're going to do in the Northern Ice Field?" Qin Huang asked again.
Li Xiangfeng's brain was keenly aware of a strange aura, as if this Qin Huang meant that he didn't know the best.
"I don't know the specifics, but even if Duke Yu doesn't arrange for the juniors to go, the juniors have already planned to go to the Northern Ice Field!"
Because Li Xiangfeng felt that every word Qin Huang asked was like a knife hidden, he was really afraid that if he accidentally said something, he didn't know who would bleed some blood again.
"Oh?" Emperor Qin said in surprise, and the curiosity in his eyes began to grow, and he asked, "Why did Viscount Li go to the Northern Ice Field?"
"Looking for my parents!" When he said this from Li Xiangfeng's mouth again, he felt an unusually stuffy feeling in his heart.
Maybe my parents are long gone, and even if I want to find the bones, I'm afraid it will be a difficult thing.
But there is more faith in my heart that my parents are still alive, waiting for me to go and bring them back.
Li Xiangfeng believes this, as if it is his own belief in life.
"Parents?" Emperor Qin frowned and wondered, then looked at Duke Yu and said, "Duke Yu, what is this matter?"
"Back to the Holy One. Duke Yu replied: "Viscount Li's father is an imperial soldier, and he is ordered by the general of the imperial Zhennan to command the right army of the hundred sergeants, and his mother is a priest. Twelve years ago, he went on a campaign to suppress the rebellion in the northern ice fields and did not return. Duke Yu briefly told the information of Li Xiangfeng's parents.
It turned out that Duke Yu had already known all the information about Li Xiangfeng's origin, and Li Xiangfeng didn't remember what he said to the duke.
"Oh?" Emperor Qin questioned, and when he looked at Li Xiangfeng again, there was a little admiration in his eyes, and Emperor Qin still had a good impression of the soldiers who served the empire.
"So that's the case, after being an Imperial soldier, I deserve to have this courage. Emperor Qin said appreciatively at Li Xiangfeng.
And he didn't say anything about what happened to Li Xiangfeng's parents, during the riot of the northern ice field, too many people were killed and wounded, and Emperor Qin also went north with the army at that time, reaching the Great Wall of Ice.
This war lasted for several years, although it consumed almost three-tenths of the entire empire's national strength, but it completely frightened the alien races in the northern ice field, and moved hundreds of miles to the north, which could ensure the stability of the northern part of the empire for more than ten years.
Until now, the northern alien races have taken advantage of the turmoil in the empire and are beginning to move.
Li Xiangfeng naturally understood what the supreme ruler of the empire meant, and hugged his left hand and right fist to show his gratitude. During the Northern Expedition that year, hundreds of thousands of soldiers did not return, how many families were broken, and how many orphans and widows were born, and he was only one of these thousands of people, and as the supreme ruler of the empire, he was helpless against such a thing.
"This time, Duke Yu will tell you about the relevant matters, Viscount Li, Viscount Yu, do you have anything else?" Emperor Qin had already made a decision on this matter, and of course Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan could not refuse.
"Cong Ling!" Yu Yan replied in a deep voice, this categorical tone was naturally a habit developed in the Imperial Military Academy, and Yu Yan was a top student in the Military Academy and the Knight School, so the tone of his natural answer was very gratifying.
Emperor Qin was very pleased with this, and nodded to the duke to show his satisfaction. But Li Xiangfeng didn't answer for a long time, and Duke Yu smiled, whether he had not gone through formal military study, and he didn't even know how to answer the most basic under the orders of the commander.
Just as he was about to remind Li Xiangfeng to pay attention, Li Xiangfeng said something that made Duke Yu almost choked, which can be said to make Duke Yu unforgettable for life!
"Emperor!" Li Xiangfeng used this title, if according to Li Xiangfeng's status as the imperial title, the title of "Shengshang" should be the most appropriate, and "Emperor" is generally not in the imperial system, the title of Emperor Qin.
However, some officials also liked to refer to the Qin Emperor as "Emperor", and the Imperial Ministry of Rites did not clearly stipulate this, so the titles of "Shengshang" and "Emperor" were tacitly acquiesced.
"I was originally a mercenary, and Duke Yu and the Emperor must have known that I was also the head of a mercenary group, so ,,,,," Li Xiangfeng said this, and stretched out his right hand to Emperor Qin and Duke Yu, who were full of questions.
Under the surprised gaze of Emperor Qin and Duke Yu, Li Xiangfeng's right thumb and index finger rubbed against each other.
Duke Yu and Emperor Qin's surprised faces gradually became very ugly, then became embarrassed, and then suddenly laughed comfortably.
Duke Yu laughed and explained to Emperor Qin.
However, Emperor Qin obviously didn't get angry because of this, but just smiled and said: "Viscount Li! Li Xiangfeng! actually did business to my head, don't you know that under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it not the king's minister?"
Emperor Qin's face really looked like the weather in June, and his face that was smiling just now became a little expressionless in a blink of an eye, and he still seemed to be displeased, and said angrily: "The whole world is mine, and you dare to ask me for money?"
Duke Yu naturally understood that Emperor Qin was used to scare Li Xiangfeng, so he silently watched how Li Xiangfeng answered.
Duke Yu was in a mood of watching the excitement, thinking about how Li Xiangfeng should pick up this sentence, if Li Xiangfeng knew the source of this sentence, or understood the meaning of the full text, and then corrected it stupidly to Emperor Qin, it would be a good show.
Not to mention asking for commissions to do things for the empire, maybe the money cheated from the "good luck gambling house" will also have to be spit into the private treasury of the Qin Emperor.
