Chapter 56 Stabilizing the Military
Lu Gongdao: "Recognition of relatives by blood has existed since ancient times, and it is the only way to judge relatives, how can it be ineffective?" β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Since ancient times, it doesn't mean that he is effective, do you know why two drops of blood that seem to be the same, some can be melted, and some can't?" β
Gong Qi frowned and said: "If it is the father and son, it will melt, if it is not the father and the son, it will not melt, what is the reason for this." β
Xiang Shaolong felt that talking about science with them was like playing the piano to the cow. How do I explain the ABO and Rh blood group system to them, and I firmly oppose blood recognition because this method is too unreliable.
In the original book, the blood of Zhao Pan and LΓΌ Buwei did not melt, but now they have been replaced by the real Qin Shi Huang, regardless of the very small number of Rh negative blood, they still have a 1/4 chance of having the same blood type. According to historical inertia, it should be fine, but the stakes are big, Xiang Shaolong does not dare to pin his hopes on such illusory things, he likes everything to be in his own hands.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Okay, you go back and test your children and grandchildren first, and see if they can all be integrated with your blood." You can also find some random strangers and see if all the strangers can't get along. β
The two didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to question themselves from the test method, Xu Xian asked, "Don't Shaolong believe in this method?" β
Xiang Shaolong said: "What is the basis for this method, can you explain it clearly?" Okay, if you want to use this method, I can agree, and I can even help you take this drop of blood from the prince, but at least you have to convince me that it is accurate. β
Gong Qi: "Everyone does this, how can it not be allowed?" β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Everyone must be right to do this?" You don't even understand how it works, how dare you use this method to confirm paternity. If it's not father and son, it won't melt? Now go and grab a hundred random people on the street and confess your blood, and see how many of them can be with you. You let this Manchu Dynasty civil and military go to recognize Cheng Jiao's blood, and see how many people can get along with Cheng Jiao, maybe the blood of the two of you can be compatible with Cheng Jiao. β
The two of them couldn't do it at all, a little overwhelmed, Xiang Shaolong completely denied this method.
Xu Xian is not very old, only in his forties, and he still has a little desire to learn, seeing that Xiang Shaolong said so firmly, he believed Xiang Shaolong's words a little, and asked, "Why is this happening?" β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Why do you think that father and son will definitely merge, don't they necessarily not?" What makes two drops of blood fuse together? If the child inherits the father's bloodline, he will blend with the father, but what about the mother? If you also want to inherit your mother's bloodline, can you also blend in with your mother? If you can be reconciled with your mother, is it true that the blood of the husband and wife can also be reconciled, and is this contradictory to what you proposed that only father and son are reconciled? β
No one has ever thought of using this method to determine the relationship between mother and child, at this time, there is no such thing as holding the wrong child, Zhu Ji sent the child out for foster care, and also relied on Yu Pei to confirm his identity.
The two were silent.
Xiang Shaolong continued: "A child's genetic information does not come from the father alone, but from both parents, so he is both like and different from his parents. The same is true of blood, since father and son cannot be exactly the same, how can blood be exactly the same. β
Xu Xian said: "But someone has used this method to confirm that the blood of father and son can indeed be combined. β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course, it is possible to be compatible, but if you don't fuse, it doesn't mean that you are not father and son, and if you don't get along, it doesn't mean that you are father and son." I can't explain the specific reasons to you, but I want to tell you that this method is completely ineffective for paternity testing, and if you don't believe me, you can do as I say. I can assert that there will be many irrelevant people in your house whose blood can be fused together, and there will be many unrelated people in this court who can be fused. Everyone's blood is not unique, there are thousands of people in the world, and there are only a few types of this blood. Taking this method out for paternity testing in a grand manner will only cause chaos in the world. β
Xiang Shaolong could only pick out some words that they could understand and say them to them.
The two of them couldn't fully understand Xiang Shaolong's words for a while, they just came to show their attitude to Xiang Shaolong, but they didn't expect to take a biology class.
Xu Xian decided not to dwell on this matter anymore and asked, "Then what other way can we determine the relationship between father and son?" β
Xiang Shaolong said: "With today's means, no. β
If you want to do a paternity test, you can only check the genes.
Their plans were completely disrupted.
Xiang Shaolong saw that the two were silent, and continued: "Whether the prince is from the first king or not, in fact, the first king should know best. The first generation of heroes, will they not even be able to figure out their own children? There have always been rumors, we are all men, if the first king had even the slightest doubt in his heart, would he still make the prince the crown prince? It has been ten years since the queen mother's mother and son returned to Qin, and looking at the previous king's consistent attitude towards the prince, it can be seen that the first king was sure that the prince was his son. Even when he heard the rumors, he did not waver, and he did his best to cultivate the prince. Although the prince is young, I dare to say that the prince's talent has surpassed that of the previous kings, and in the future he will surpass all the kings in history and become the first emperor of the ages. And I, Daqin, will also become an unprecedented superpower under the leadership of the prince. I will also follow in the footsteps of the prince and make history as a celebrity. β
Xu Xian said: "Are we really ignoring this rumor? β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Rumors stop at the wise. If it's a rumor, why take it seriously. The two generals are the cornerstone of my Great Qin's pillar country, how can they be affected by these rumors at will. I don't care about using this kind of means, how easy it is to spread rumors. As long as I want to, tomorrow Chengjiao was born by Du Bi, it will spread all over Xianyang, three days later, it will spread all over my Great Qin, and a month later, it will spread all over the Eastern countries. Even I was able to make up a complete, flawless story right away to prove the rumors to be true. It's okay to say that Cheng Jiao is the son of your General Xu, but I bother to say that your husband should be strong and strong, make up some romantic stories, and say that your son can be believed, so you can't argue. β
The two were shocked by Xiang Shaolong's shamelessness. The two of them can understand the public opinion war, but Xiang Shaolong has no lower limit, and he really can't accept it.
Gong Qi was so angry that his eggs hurt, and he pointed at Xiang Shaolong and couldn't speak.
Xu Xian is calm, always looking unfazed. I just secretly thought in my heart, what to do next.
Xiang Shaolong also felt that what he said was a bit too much, and he needed to appease them, so he continued: "Since the beginning of the king, he has always respected the two generals very much, and the prince regards the two as the pinnacle of the sea in the army, and he relies on them the most. With the talent displayed by the prince, I, Great Qin, are facing an unprecedented opportunity, as long as we don't mess with ourselves, the names of our people will definitely be passed down through the ages in the future, far surpassing our so-called sages today. Cheng Jiao, hum, it's far from it. Du Bi supported Cheng Jiao, he wanted to be the first person in the army, or even the first person in the Manchu Dynasty, was he for some royal blood? It's not for self-interest. They only spread some rumors, the prince has no time to pay attention to them now, if they really dare to make a move, they will definitely suffer a thunderous counterattack, and when the time comes, not only will he die without a place to be buried, but he will not be able to run away from his family and exterminate his clan. The prince is not a soft-hearted person, his strength has far surpassed that of the kings of my Great Qin, and when they know that they are powerful, it will be too late. β
The two of them didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
Xiang Shaolong saw that although they didn't express their position, they seemed to be persuaded by themselves and breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that he still had to make all preparations.
He immediately contacted the prince and rewarded Wang Jian who was stationed on the border and An Guxi who was stationed at Hangu Pass. Young generals need to come out, and the prince will give them a chance and let them get close to the prince.
Xiang Shaolong also sent a private message to Wang Qian, reminding him that Chujun is the only boss, don't stand on the wrong team, and have the ability to return to the army at any time to protect him.
At present, the first major event is the funeral of King Zhuangxiang and the field hunt after that. However, for Xiang Shaolong, as long as he controls the overall situation, with his status at this time, there is no need to be in the limelight, and no one dares to challenge him.
There is a plot of Gao Lingjun's rebellion in the original work, but in fact, Gao Lingjun's son, Kui, is the son of Empress Dowager Xuan, the younger brother of King Zhaoxiang, and the grandfather of King Zhuangxiang, who has long since died.
The field hunting ground covers an area of nearly 100 miles, between Xianyang and Liangshan, half of it is grassland and criss-crossing rivers, the other is mountains and hills and valleys, the camp is located on a high ground at the east end of the field hunting ground closest to Xianyang City, Jingshui comes from the east, crosses the north, and the review platform is set up in the prairie below the camp, which is divided into early hunting and late hunting.
The three-day field hunt was not alarmed, and the competition and hunting went smoothly.
LΓΌ Buwei's family will be the most exposed, among which Guan Zhongyi dominates the leader, and his swordsmanship and archery skills are overwhelming, but he doesn't have the courage to challenge Xiang Shaolong. And it is inconvenient to suppress him as Xiang Shaolong, and Xiang Shaolong does not disdain to suppress him. Xiang Shaolong's opponent is only Lu Buwei, and it is not enough to see the evil in the middle.
The young generals Huan Qi and Yang Duanhe also shined, and the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, as well as Wang Ben, showed their skills. And Li Xin, who was under Chang Wenjun, was even younger, and he also began to show his edge, which was the new force of the Qin army.
As for the military giants Lu Gong and Xu Xian, they did not continue to find fault. And the two of them didn't squeak, and Du Bi, who supported the second prince Cheng Jiao, didn't dare to make a mistake, and didn't dare to challenge the prince when he was hunting.
The red women's army has become a beautiful scenery, and the army of daughters has appeared in groups in the hunting ground, sassy and heroic, and has fascinated many people.
The prince came to the forefront, and although he was not yet in power, he also began to seize power and reform. He wanted to immediately implement the "Three Princes and Nine Secretaries System" proposed by Li Si, but it was not easy, and his main purpose was to restrain LΓΌ Buwei. But at this time, LΓΌ Buwei inevitably got the support of the Queen Mother, and he had to beware of the second prince Chengjiao, so he didn't dare to use violent means, and to a certain extent, he had to win over LΓΌ Buwei.
