Time flies, nearly a hundred years have passed.

The time came to the one hundred and twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor.

The Imperial City of Xianyang has long since changed from what it used to be, and has become the world's first holy city.

On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful and the sky was clear.

In the imperial garden of the imperial city, flowers are in full bloom and competing with each other.

There are dozens of large and small buildings in the park, such as the Swing Pavilion, the Wanchun Pavilion, the Orange Rui Pavilion, the Fubi Pavilion, and the Qin'an Palace, but it seems that there is no sense of crowding and repetition.

Between the pavilions and pavilions, various precious ancient trees such as pine and cypress are planted, and they are dotted with vibrant green bamboos and strange-shaped stones.

Those strange rocks are stacked together to become rockeries, abrupt and rugged, and the momentum is extraordinary;

Some are like Ganoderma lucidum, some are like elephants, some are like monkeys, some are like fairies...

Ying Zheng sat in the Wanchun Pavilion to enjoy the flowers, surrounded by warblers and swallows, and sat around the harem concubines.

Lu Susu sat next to Ying Zheng and fed Ying Zheng some fruits from time to time, which seemed extremely intimate.

The loss of time did not leave too many traces on Lu Susu's face, but only washed away the greenness on her face and added some grace and wealth.

Ying Zheng held a copy of Daqin Daily and looked at it carefully, eating the fruits fed by Lu Guifei from time to time, which was not very pleasant.

"Master, Grandpa Yi left the night before yesterday."

At this time, Lu Susu lightly opened her lips and said suddenly.

Father-in-law Yi, that is, Yi Xiaochuan, is also nearly a hundred years old this year, and finally died of old age.

It stands to reason that the life expectancy of men in today's era is generally fifty or sixty years old, and the longest life expectancy is only in their seventies.

Yi Xiaochuan can live to be nearly 100 years old, which is also a great creation.

"Oh? I see."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he replied lightly.

Yi Xiaochuan's death was expected by him, so he was not surprised.

If it weren't for Yi Xiaochuan getting the energy baptism in the tiger-shaped pendant, he wouldn't have survived for so long.

After a while, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Lu Susu, "Didn't the emperor come to greet him today?"

"I heard my sister say that there are a lot of affairs in the DPRK and China these days, and the emperor may be busy dealing with state affairs, so he didn't have time to say hello to the lord."

Lu Susu explained to her son, "What, what does the master command?"

"Look here!"

Ying Zheng pointed to the record in the newspaper and said, "A few days ago, my Great Qin conquered Africa thousands of miles away, and the emperor issued an order to include those dark-skinned natives as nationals, isn't this nonsense? I'm a great Qin, how can I let the mess up the bloodline?"

"If I want to see it, I should reduce them to inferior slaves, and I can only be cattle and horses for the rest of my life, and dedicate my life to the strength of my Great Qin."

"It seems that the emperor has been brainwashed by those Confucianists, and he is arrogant and forgets my teachings."

"Later, when he comes to ask for peace, you are not allowed to intercede for him, I must teach him a good lesson."

The current emperor is the thirty-eighth son of Ying Zheng, named Ying Licheng, and the seventh son of Lu Susu.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, the eldest prince Fusu is dead, and the eighteenth prince Hu Hai is also dead.

When Ying Zheng retired at the age of one hundred and twenty, the thirty-eighth prince Ying Li became a suitable successor, and Ying Zheng made him the emperor, for Qin II.

It's just that when Qin II became emperor, he was already in his forties, and he was educated by Confucianism in his early years, and his ideas were already stereotyped, and it was extremely difficult to change.

Therefore, seeing the so-called benevolent government of Qin II, Yingzheng will not be angry.

"The old man dissipated his anger, governed the country with Legalism and assisted by Confucianism, but what was wrong with the national policy you personally set?"

Lu Susu glanced at him and helped his son speak: "After Cheng'er ascended the throne, now that he has planted my Great Qin's Black Water Dragon Banner in every corner of the world, isn't he incompetent enough as an emperor? Even if you can't be considered the Emperor of the Ages, you can be regarded as the King of Success, right?"

"Moreover, my Great Qin has been fighting for many years, and the territories of the whole world have been included in my Great Qin, and now it is time to recuperate.

I have given the people of the world a breath of relief."

"Accepting those natives as citizens can be regarded as a way to live for the bottom, there is no need to beat them to death with a stick, so as not to arouse the anger of the people and cause more incidents in vain."

"Of course, having said that, what Feizhou is tens of thousands of miles away from my Great Qin mainland, even if they are both nationals, no matter in terms of treatment or welfare, how can the natives over there compare with our native nationals?"

"So, if you want to be a concubine, you don't have to worry about this matter, master, Cheng'er will always take care of it."

"Besides, Cheng'er is fifty-six years old this year, his hair and beard are all white, and he is considered to be the year of knowing his destiny, you have to save some face for him, and stop reprimanding him like before."

There are several Qin Shi Huang in the world, how can the successor be compared to him?

Qin II has only been on the throne for eleven years, and he has already included all the territories of the world into the category of Great Qin, which is worthy of the name of Qin II.

Therefore, in Lu Susu's opinion, Yingzheng's requirements are too high, and he is too harsh on his son.

"What do you know, if it weren't for the fact that I had already laid down the whole territory of Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, leaving only one Africa for him, and also established the Military Affairs Department, the Cabinet, and the establishment of nine ministries, which helped him lay a good foundation, how could he have made such a great contribution?"

Ying Zheng glared at her and said, "However, although Confucianism is applicable to governing the country, the monarch cannot be trapped by the so-called benevolence and righteousness, which is used to manage the people and restrain the people, not to the king to restrain himself."

"I changed the national policy and let Confucianism participate in the court of Great Qin, but it was also because Great Qin was on the verge of collapse at that time, and the Legalist rule was too harsh and easy to break, so I pulled Confucianism into the chariot to ease the domestic contradictions and let it play a mediating role."

"Cheng'er has a bad head from reading, and he is deeply affected by Confucianism, and even his thoughts have changed from a superior to a subordinate, which is really stupid!"

Hearing Lu Susu speak for his son, Ying Zheng sneered disdainfully and said.

A woman's family, she knows how to govern the country with a hammer.

Confucianism is known for its benevolence and righteousness, and such ideas can be used to brainwash the people and help the rulers govern the world.

But what is really useful to the ruler is the Legalist, who governs the world with upright Legalist thinking.

Confucianism is used to imprison the minds of the people, and Legalism is used to regulate the behavior of the people.

In this way, Confucianism and law can make the world stable, and the people can accept the fate of being exploited by the rulers and cutting leeks willingly.

If the rulers themselves are brainwashed by Confucianism, it will be doomed.

For more details, you can refer to one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zifu of Song Xiang, Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youji, Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty.

Although these emperors were touted by Confucianism as benevolent and righteous kings, they ruled the world in a mess, and their power was also controlled by Confucianism.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

At this moment, the little eunuch outside the gate of the imperial garden sang sharply.

Immediately afterwards, the mighty team walked into the Imperial Garden and came to the Wanchun Pavilion.

"Sons and daughters greet their fathers and mothers!"

Dressed in a black dragon robe, wearing twelve crowns, and white hair, Qin II Ying Licheng stepped down from the dragon chariot and bowed down.

"The Emperor gets up quickly, and sits down with the Queen Mother."

Lu Susu stood up and beckoned to the emperor.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Ying Licheng stood up and walked to the pavilion, and the concubines on the side hurriedly gave up their positions.

The mother and son sat together, but they looked extremely discordant.

My mother is still in her prime, looking to be in her twenties at most, and she is in the prime of her youth.

The son was already full of gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face were all caught by mosquitoes, and half of his feet stepped into the coffin.

This is because Ying Zheng did not pass on the way of immortality, but only passed on the method of martial arts cultivation.

Cultivating to the highest level, you can fly eaves and walk on walls, you can jump ten feet, you can open mountains and break stones, you can draw a knife and cut off water, but you can't achieve immortality.

Why is he?

What about not preaching the method of immortal cultivation?

Without him, he just didn't want to.

The main line of this mission is to save the fate of Qin II from his death.

If the immortal path is passed down and the emperors behind them live for thousands of years one by one, how can it be passed on to the third and fourth generations? How else did he get the job done?

Therefore, Ying Zheng thought about it, so he didn't bother to pass on the immortal way, just to prolong the life of the two sisters of the Lu family and keep them young forever.

Even after being the emperor for more than a hundred years, he didn't even bother to be the emperor, and directly gave the throne to his son.

Just wait for Qin II to hang up and Qin III to ascend the throne, his main quest will be completed and he can return.

As for collecting tiger pendants, elixirs, and mystery boxes...... and other plot items, Ying Zheng has already completed them.

"Emperor, I read that the Great Qin Daily said, you want the natives of Africa to become my Great Qin nationals? Give them the same treatment as the citizens of Great Qin?"

Looking at the old Qin II, Ying Zheng asked expressionlessly.

"Back to my father, my sons and ministers have this intention, I am a great Qin, when the sea is inclusive, tolerant of people of different colors, and treated equally, in order to show my great Qin's benevolent and righteous demeanor!"

When Qin II heard this, he replied respectfully, "Could it be that my father thinks ..... Isn't that right?"

"Hey, you can do whatever you like, I don't bother to care about you."

Qin II's thoughts and thoughts were almost engraved on his face, how could he hide Yingzheng.

He glanced at his son seriously, and Ying Licheng's expression was firm, as if he was planning to debate with his father.

Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little exhausted, and he didn't want to waste his tongue.

Yes, the Queen Mother Lu Susu is right, her son is older, and he won't have a few years to live, so let him toss.

Anyway, the world is still firmly in the hands of Ying Zheng, even if it is broken, it doesn't matter.

It's a big deal to overturn everything and start over, and at most he will just waste some more effort.

"Father, the son is going to seal the thirty-ninth and forty-third brothers to Africa, what do you think?"

Qin II thought that his father would reprimand him again, and he was mentally prepared and was preparing for a tirade.

Who knows, his father just sighed, and there was no follow-up, as if the matter had been revealed.

He was secretly happy in his heart, so he told his previous plan.

"Thirty-nine and forty-three?"

Ying Zheng recalled these two sons, who are now in their thirties, and they are the only two of Ying Zheng's sons who are still alive.

In an instant, Ying Zheng understood his son's little abacus, which was to kick the two brothers to a remote place so as not to rob his son of the throne.

After all, in addition to the inheritance of the father's business by the son, there is also the inheritance law of the elder brother and the younger brother.

Ying Licheng is selfish, it is also a normal thing, he is already fifty and six, and at most he can live for another ten or twenty years.

At that time, if the two younger brothers stay in Xianyang, and their father and mother are alive, then who will the throne be passed on?

The thirty-ninth and forty-third were born to Concubine Lu Pheasant, plus Lu Pheasant likes power and is in charge of several key departments.

Therefore, if Qin II dies, it is really difficult to say to whom the throne of Great Qin will be passed on.

It may be passed on to Ying Zheng's grandsons, who are his sons, or it may be passed on to Ying Zheng's sons, who are his two brothers.

Therefore, taking advantage of his reign and the power in his hands, Qin II decided to clear the obstacles for his sons first and divide the two brothers first.

"Whatever you want, I have abdicated, so I won't interfere much in the government."

Regarding Qin II's small abacus, Yingzheng was too lazy to take care of it and let him toss.

As long as you are human, you have selfishness, which is understandable.

As an emperor, it is normal for Ying Licheng to want to regain power.

As long as this kind of internal strife is kept within a controllable range, Ying Zheng has always taken a sidelined attitude.

Whether it's his son Ying Licheng or not

, or the imperial concubine Lu Pheasant, or other sons, he treats them equally.

The capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

It's as simple as that.

"In that case, the minister will retire first."

After receiving Ying Zheng's affirmative reply, Ying Licheng couldn't wait to go back to write an edict and drive the two brothers to a remote place.

The sooner he drove them away, the sooner he would be relieved.

"Go ahead."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

It didn't take long for Lu Pheasant to run over angrily.

"Master, did you agree to the emperor's edict? Drive Li'er and Gong'er to Africa? How can you bear it, they are your sons."

Lu Pheasant knelt in front of Yingzheng with tears in his eyes, and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

Like her sister Lu Susu, the years have not left any traces on Lu Pheasant's face, and she is still as young as ever.

However, the edict of Qin II had already been signed by the cabinet and the military affairs department, and the order was issued, and the edict was officially effective all over the world.

Of course, Lu Pheasant, who was kept in the dark, did not comply, and immediately ran to the imperial garden to complain.

"Okay, okay, pheasant, you get up first, you're old, what do you look like crying?"

Ying Zheng motioned to Lu Susu beside her to help her up and comforted, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, haven't you understood this truth?"

"But, how poor is Africa, where birds don't, Li'er and Gong'er go, don't they have to suffer?"

Lu Pheasant didn't dare to be too presumptuous, hit the snake with the stick, stood up, and begged: "If they are vassal, then the concubine will never see them again."

"The national policy I set at that time, the capable and the mediocre, they are not as good as Cheng'er in all assessments, who can blame me?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said patiently.

When he abdicated that year, he chose the successor among the only three remaining sons, and set various assessments.

Ying Licheng stood out and successfully won the throne, and after the other Ying Li and Ying Gong were defeated, they naturally missed the throne.

The so-called success and defeat of the king, you brothers are not as good as others, can you still blame others?

After all, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and all three are sons.

Yingzheng, who is the father and emperor, will not be partial to anyone.

"But..."

Lu Pheasant was about to say more, but Lu Susu gently pulled her and signaled her to stop talking.

has been with Ying Zheng for nearly a hundred years, and Lu Susu is most familiar with Ying Zheng's temper.

It's okay to play petty once in a while, but in the face of big rights and wrongs, it's best to choose to keep your mouth shut.

"If you miss your sons, I'll take you to see them later."

Seeing this, Ying Zheng said lightly.

"Yes, the concubine obeys."

Lu Pheasant had no choice but to accept it and stop making trouble.

Fast by, another twenty years have passed.

During this period, the sisters of the Lu family died one after another, and Shouyuan came to the end.

On this day, Qin II died.

Ying Licheng's ninth son, the twenty-three-year-old Ying Boyun succeeded to the throne for Qin III!

【Ding! Your main quest has been completed, will you return immediately, or will you be forced to return after 12 hours? 】

On the day of Qin III's succession, a long-lost voice sounded in Ying Zheng's ears, and the prompt of the chat group was long overdue.
