Zhu Xiang said with a smile: "I'll serve the sauce too, and you can add whatever flavor you want." ”

Add it yourself? Even if he used to be a proton, King Qin did not cook by himself. Zhu Xiang was so "arrogant", he thought it was quite interesting, so he agreed.

In addition to cold noodles, Zhu Xiang also cut a lot of blanched shredded mushrooms, vegetables, and shredded meat, and mixed them with cold noodles to eat.

When Zhu Xiang led someone to bring the noodles up, Bai Qi was chatting with Fan Ju. Although I don't know what the two of them are talking about, looking at their chatting expressions, it seems that both parties are very relaxed.

Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Gong and Fan Gong finally became friends, it was really rare.

Although Bai Qi was slaughtered, later generations had a lot of sympathy for him being forced to die. Fortunately, he saved Changping's prisoners of war, and he didn't have to stand on the opposite side of a respectable person.

"Cold noodles are coming! Drink hot red dates and ginger tea first to warm your stomach before eating. Zhu Xiang greeted.

The old men gathered around the table in the shade of the trees.

Zhu Xiang introduced them to various sauces and side dishes, and asked them to add whatever they wanted, and if they were too lazy to do it, they would use the seasonings that had already been adjusted.

Bai Qi has eaten cold noodles several times and is not interested in various seasonings; Xunzi likes to do it herself; King Qin and Fan Ju were both very curious about adjusting their condiments, tried a few flavors, and finally swallowed the cold noodles they had prepared with difficulty.

The palace man who was waiting next to him had his eyelids jumping, and he lowered his face for fear of revealing a shocked expression.

King Qin was very picky about his meals, and he insisted on eating the food with an unpalatable expression, which was really unheard of.

"It's called vinegar and soy sauce? It's so fragrant. After King Qin finished eating, he stroked his beard and said, "The imperial doctor said that the widow should eat less meat, and this soy sauce is just right for the widow." Zhu Xiang, what reward do you want? ”

Zhu Xiang raised his head, and the sauce still hung on the corner of his mouth: "Reward? Your Majesty, no need, just a little seasoning. ”

King Qin frowned: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded." The law of the Qin State decrees that rewards cannot be refused. ”

"It's not a credit, it's just that I made a little delicious food for the elders." Zhu Xiang refused, "If the king insists on rewarding, then can I go to the palace to copy books and read?" I heard that there are many books in the king's collection. ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately raised his face from the bowl: "I want to see it too!" ”

"Okay." King Qin stroked his beard again, "Xun Qing has brought so many Confucian students, you can take a few people to copy books together, and the Xianyang School Palace will be completed as soon as possible." Xun Qing, how about you go to Xianyang School Palace as a sacrificial wine? ”

Xunzi got up and said respectfully: "Thank you." ”

Hearing Xunzi call himself a king, the angle of King Qin's mouth was very exaggerated.

Zhu Xiang saw Xunzi's respectful attitude, and remembered the lectures he had listened to.

Later generations of literati did not like Xunzi and preferred Mencius, because they said that Xunzi was "flattering" and did not have "literati bones".

In the Spring and Autumn period, the status of the scholar was very high. Some of the people who thought they were talented even despised the monarch. And when a monarch can't give the scholar the treatment he wants, it is normal for a scholar to betray the monarch, and he will not be criticized.

Just like the three families of Jin, there are not many people who despise the monarchs of Wei, Han, and Zhao, and cry out for their original monarchs, the monarchs of the Jin Kingdom.

In later generations, this is also called "the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together". The priest tried to put himself on the same level as the king.

Mencius was one such taxi.

He was not like a courtier to a king, but a teacher to a disciple. He placed greater emphasis on the character and dignity of the priest.

This, of course, showed Mencius's good character and made him a moral benchmark for later generations. His words and deeds are actually more in line with the three views of modern people.

Xunzi is different, he is the first person to propose that scholars should be under the king, and scholars cannot betray the country and the king.

Xunzi divided strict classes, believing that each class must perform its own duties, so that the country will not be chaotic. He himself abandoned the ideal of "teaching the king", and taught himself and his disciples to become the "courtiers" of the king, and paid more attention to seeking justice.

He will teach Li Si and Han Fei, it is conceivable. Later generations of literati hated Xunzi, which can be imagined.

The scholar was originally standing, but Xunzi told them to kneel.

But after Zhu Xiang came into contact with Xunzi, he knew very well that Xunzi was definitely not a person who flattered the king. This can also be seen from Xunzi's life experience.

Xunzi's choice is only because of "reality" and for "great unification". All his political remarks were about how to promote and consolidate great unification.

Absolute monarchy, centralization, deprivation and weakening of the power of the nobility, emphasizing loyalty to the monarch and patriotism...... Xunzi's theory is the "Treatise on the Monarch" of the Western Renaissance in later generations, and it is also the path practiced in the long feudal era of China.

This path is not noble, and in the eyes of modern people it is backward, ignorant, and full of servile decadent ideas, but in the Warring States period......

There is nothing more important than the unification of the world and the end of war.

Zhu Xiang said: "Your Majesty, should I also go to the Xianyang Academy Palace to help?" "Eager to try, eager to try.

"Plant your fields." Xunzi didn't have a good airway.

King Qin agreed: "Plant your field." ”

Zhu Xiang was embarrassed. Is he disliked?

"How's your cotton growing?" King Qin was full after eating, thinking about what the imperial doctor said, he stopped his chopsticks, "Take the widow to have a look." ”

"Okay." Zhu Xiang wiped his mouth and said to Ying Xiaozheng, "You continue...... Hey, slow down! ”

Ying Xiaozheng stuffed noodles into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and his cheeks were deflated: "I'm ready to eat!" ”

"Slow down, don't choke." Zhu Xiang helped Ying Xiaozheng wipe his face, and his tone was extremely helpless.

Why did he raise Zheng'er to be a foodie? Is it really okay to raise the First Emperor cub like this?

But he has already developed like this, and Zhu Xiang can't help it.

He took Ying Xiaozheng and led King Qin to see the cotton fields.

There is a lot of sunshine near Xianyang, and cotton is growing well. But now there is no result, nothing can be seen. King Qin inspected it and felt that it was not very interesting, so he returned to the courtyard and asked Zhu Xiang to perform a trick.

Zhu Xiang called Xianghe out and performed tricks with him.

The Mo family gave Zhu Xiang an indescribable look.

He once said that he would follow Zhu Xiang to the death, and even wanted to give Zhu Xiang all the Mo family's Juzi Order. Now he is very glad that Zhu Xiang did not accept the Juzi order.

But regretted it, Xianghe still had to perform tricks for King Qin with Zhu Xiang.

Saltpeter ice making, flame color reaction, small hole imaging...... King Qin's eyes widened more and more, and Ying Xiaozheng's fleshy little ass on the stool was grinding faster and faster.

Every time he saw his uncle do tricks, Ying Xiaozheng felt an urge to bury himself in his dreams a little more.

These little tricks have been seen by myself in my dreams.

For example, there is a man named Xu Fu, who is very good at tricks. He who has become Qin Shi Huang is convinced of Xu Fu's immortal tricks, and gives Xu Fu a lot of money to go to the fairy island.

Ying Xiaozheng wants to cover his face.

In your dreams, you've been deceived! You are a dignified first emperor, and you were actually deceived by Fang Shi!

When Fang Shi saw that he was deceived in his dream, he must have laughed at himself for being stupid, right? Fortunately, the self in the dream is not the real self.

He Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was deceived by Fang Shi, what does it have to do with me, my uncle's good nephew Zheng'er?

It doesn't matter at all!

"Really...... Fortunately, the widow does not believe in the monks. After King Qin sighed, he rejoiced.

Ying Xiaozheng just stopped grinding the bench's little buttocks and moved silently again.

Although his father certainly didn't know how badly he had been deceived by Fang Shi, he always felt that this sentence was mocking him.

"If the Fang Shi really have immortal arts, how can they seek wealth and nobility in the mortal world?" Zhu Xiang sighed, "But immortality and feathering into immortals is everyone's dream." Even if you don't know it's credible, many people still want to grasp the possibility. ”

King Qin was curious: "There are no immortal mountains overseas?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "The Qin State should be one of the most powerful countries in this land today. ”

King Qin didn't ask Zhu Xiang why he knew about overseas, he only sighed: "That's right." If there really are immortals, how can they not appear? Either they have no interest in mortals, or they are not in this world at all. Either way, we have nowhere to find them. Are there any other tricks? I've heard that alchemists can do alchemy, do you know alchemy? ”

"Yes, it's the same principle." Zhu Xiang introduced the redox reaction to King Qin, and the nine discolorations of the Nine Turns of Jindan are similar to this reason. He also talked about the toxicity of heavy metals, and explained the phases and auxiliary explanations.

When doing the experiment, the disciples of the Mo family helped a lot.

"It would be nice if we could have the Imperial Doctor study it with us." Zhu Xiang's eyes are bare, and his eyes are bare.

Now reliable doctors are very rare, and Zhu Xiang can only look at King Qin, embarrassed to say his request.

King Qin deliberately did not answer, and when Zhu Xiang hung his head and sighed, he smiled and said, "If you want anyone to help, take the widow's edict to find someone." ”

King Qin took out a token from his cuff and threw it to Zhu Xiang and said, "This token can also mobilize the guards, don't use it indiscriminately." But you don't leave the house, and you don't have a chance to use it indiscriminately. ”

Zhu Xiang was happy to say to King Qin again and again: "Don't worry, you want to find the guards to work, and I will go directly to Meng Wu and Bai Gong!" ”

King Qin smiled: "It's not bad to let them do a little more, lest they have nothing to do." ”

Xunzi saw that King Qin actually threw the token directly to Zhu Xiang, and his eyelids couldn't help but tremble.

How long has Zhu Xiang been in Qin? In less than a year, did King Qin already have such a close and trusted Zhu Xiang?

Maybe the more suspicious people are, the more they like Zhu Xiang.

King Qin was tired after watching the trick. He's old and doesn't have a lot of energy now.

The king of Qin asked him to call the crown prince Zhu into the palace to help him deal with the remaining documents, and rested in Zhu Xiang's house.

He decided to give himself a few days off.

Prince Zhu has grown up, and it is time for Prince Zhu to learn government affairs and share his worries.

King Qin originally refused to accept old age, but after getting along with Ying Xiaozheng for a long time, his spirit unconsciously relaxed a lot.

He is indeed old, and his great-grandchildren are so powerful.

Maybe I should rest more, so that I can live a few more years and teach my great-grandchildren a few more years.

The more King Qin looks at Ying Xiaozheng now, the more he likes it.

Although he didn't believe in Fangshi, and he didn't believe that he could find the Immortal Mountain, he did believe that there was a spirit in the heavens.

Generations of Qin kings have worked hard for so long, but unifying the world is still an elusive goal.

Even though the Qin State had become the most powerful country in his hands, wasn't it the same with the Jin State back then? He still didn't know the bottom of his heart.

It wasn't until Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng appeared that King Qin really felt that the Mandate of Heaven was on the side of Qin, and Qin could indeed unify the world.

Not in his hands, nor in the hands of Dazhu, but in the hands of Zichu or Zheng'er.

At the turn of each dynasty, there is a king of unparalleled talent.

Masa-ja was able to speak soon after she was born, and she could remember even the events before her first birthday. He never forgets, his demeanor is calm, his mind is mature, his self-control is extremely strong, and he has already shown the ability of a king at a young age.

If there is such a prince in the Qin State, then it is indeed the Qin State that should unify the world.

And the appearance of Zhu Xiang allowed the Qin State to find a way to continue to move forward after unifying the world. The two uncles and nephews complement each other, and King Qin feels that even if he closes his eyes now, he is relieved.

Even if Zheng'er sits on the throne now, the Qin State will definitely be fine.

So, he can finally relax a bit.
